Until we can do everything with nothing at all?
That's what God did at the beginning of time.
If it's about what something in you that you've allowed to possess you,
once right now, you're wrestling with the lowest parts of yourself.
If you reorient yourself and aim at only what is best, then you're attempting communion with God.
And you might ask yourself, well, how do you do that?
And I would say, well, try to do it.
Just try to do it.
Decide that.
before you look, before every word you speak, you place yourself in relationship to what makes itself manifest to you as the highest possible aim at that moment.
And practice that and ask yourself, why in the world would you not do that?
Why in the world would you not want to make the most out of every possible moment?
And there's no difference between making the most out of every possible moment and aiming up with as much vision and love and hope and faith as you can possibly muster.
And you might say, well, faith, that's for people who
are too weak to rely on the facts.
It's like, what facts did you rely on when you got married?
You know, your knowledge of who a woman was or a man, what the hell did you know about the facts?
You gamble in life.
You stake your soul on your bet.
You make your way forward with faith.
