Living within the limits of the world we know through our thinking has impressed upon us beliefs that hold us within it.
One of the most cunningly false and incapacitating of these is to enter into possibilities only when our understanding supports it. It's the cognitive killing field where aspirations, heart-felt intentions and dreams are dismantled and denied.
We have a name for this adulteration of faith. It's called reason and its name says it all. Don't trust life without a reason to.
Many believe that my teacher was a Master because he knew how to: walk on water, heal the infirm, multiply fishes and loaves, etc. To believe that he knew, therefore he could, is to miss His point altogether. He performed beyond human understanding because He was willing to answer the moment's call into It, trusting that His Father (God, Spirit) would do through Him what He had no reason to assume He could do of Himself.
Each of us is called likewise. We're given in each moment seed ideas that when actively sown germinate into far-reaching, wisdom-expanding experiences. All that's required is to act in faith and plant them.
What are you waiting for? A reason?
