Life is about discovering the right questions more than having the right answers. The key here is the contrast between the words “discovering” and “having.” A discerning and inquiring spirit will make us discoverers in touch with our hidden unconscious and deeper truth.
Our posture must always be as perpetual searchers and seekers of the depth and mystery of God, always novices always beginners. It is the narrow and dark way of faith, but there is something inherently valuable about an attitude of spiritual curiosity and persistent “knocking.”
The long journey of transformation leads us to humbly asking new questions about our own goodness, and where goodness really lies; to recognize our own complicity with evil, and where evil really lies.
The ego is formed by contraction, security, and certainty; the soul is formed by expansion, it participates in the human dilemma instead of placing itself above and beyond all tensions. Spiritual seeking makes us perpetual and humble students instead of contented careerists, questers rather than settlers, always yearning and desirous lovers.
Only those led by the Spirit into ever deeper seeing, hearing, and surrendering will fall into the hands of the living God.
Matthew 7:14 “But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.”
