LAW OF THREE (35) In The I Am of God

LAW OF THREE (35)

IN THE I AM OF GOD

"God will bring people and events into our lives, and whatever we may think about them, they are designed for the evolution of His life in us." Thomas Keating

In Centering Prayer "We are invited to give God a chance to experience Himself in our humanity, in our difficulties, in our weakness, in our addictions, in our sins." by consenting to God's presence and action.

A dual perception persuades us spiritual salvation depends entirely on our "good works." but  "good works" are hard to achieve.

St. Paul recognises that: "For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do " Romans 7:15:25

An example of the play of the contradictory forces of love-hate, good-bad...etc. locking us into states of anxiety, frustration and guilt. 

Guilt is a trick of he ego   If guilt lasts more than half a minute, it is neurotic guilt states T.K.   "Pervasive, prolonged, paralysed guilt - that is the superego- That is our emotional judgement of what is right and wrong..."

Managing the contradictions and tricks of the talkative ego may lead us to a sudden revelation:

I am not in the "I am" of myself,  but in the "I AM" of God" Thomas Keatting-
