Is our spiritual life our priority? Our life doesn't get better by chance---it gets better by choice. Our intentions are causes that create effects. For us as humans, choosing an intention is the fundamental creative act. Christ is the truth of who we are. That Christ is the individualized essence, the activity of God, Love In Us, the Light of the Living God. Moreover, that Consciousness is still alive and still evolving. It continues to evolve in us, through us, and as us. Love looks like beauty. Love feels like joy. We are a community of love that expresses beauty and joy at their highest possibilities and potentials.

This week's talk draws wisdom from a deep, enlightening interview between comedian Pete Holmes and Fr. Richard Rohr. In understanding sacred texts, literalism is the lowest form of understanding, whereas faith activates the space within us where there is something holy and sacred, the kinesthetic experience of the Divine. Faith involves total conviction. We commit and start to cultivate the seeds of faith we have planted. Empowered thought thickens into form. Over time, with practice and nurturing, what we empower becomes our experience. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "We lie in the lap of immense intelligence, which makes us receivers of its truth and organs of its activity. And when we discern justice, when we discern truth, we do nothing of ourselves but allow passage to its beams." The path to mature understanding follows the three stages of Construction, Destruction, and Reconstruction. Reconstruction is the Third Eye, the new perspective, the new way of seeing, the middle way. When we're entrenched in our way of being, we can never move into the third way of seeing. The path to transcendence only occurs through great love or great suffering. The rational mind cannot comprehend suffering. Nor can it understand the experience of love. What if we accept what is happening in our lives as if we had chosen it?
