Living with the tension of paradox is essential for spiritual growth. As we progress in consciousness, we embrace a contemplative mind, transcending dualistic thinking. This evolution is vital, fostering a broader, wiser, and more loving perspective. Nonduality becomes evident in daily experiences, unveiling the inherent paradox in everything. It's about holding the tension, not seeking immediate resolution. This challenges conventional beliefs, urging us to live without closure, fostering patience and faith. Faith, often misunderstood, is more than intellectual assent; it's a practice-based openness to the unknown. Contemplative prayer, a silent presence, exemplifies this, acknowledging the river of life and trusting its certain flow. Embracing paradox transforms belief-based religion into a practice-based, transformative journey.
May we find strength and growth in the paradoxes of life,
embracing a contemplative mind that transcends dualistic thinking,
fostering wisdom, love, and patience, as we navigate the river of existence
with faith in the certain flow of the unknown.
