“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:24
Bliss. Joy. Empowerment. Childlike freedom and trust. Endless Divine love that gives meaning to the word ecstasy, the kind we all hunger for more than anything else in the world no matter how much we might try to pretend not to. A world where even the sky isn’t the limit but just an invitation to eternity. True self confidence. Faith that can be felt and almost touched, it’s so real. Abundant physical well-being. THAT is what is we find when we go through the eye of the needle.
What do we leave behind? Buts. Ego. Knowing what the hell is going on. False identity. All the negative emotions (especially fear and doubt). Thinking any thoughts at all, even the ones we don’t usually recognize as thoughts. Untruth.
What does it take? Becoming desire, trusting the bliss, and falling. And love, lots and lots of love. So simple, so easy if you really want it. And it never ends.
“And love, is not the easy thing, the only baggage you can bring is all that you can’t leave behind.”
“Home, hard to know what it is if you never had one.
Home, I can’t say where it is but I know I’m going home, that’s where the heart is.” (Credits to Bono, this was my first favorite U2 song)
“Leave it behind.”
Love is the only thing we can carry through this journey of life.
