From Peter Sumners blog . Pete and his wife Pearl run a spiritual community in Fremantle, Western Australia. The couple organises many gatherings of likeminded people. The times of not knowing are so often seen as something to get through and get out of, but to live there permanently is what is being asked of us.
It is a place of rich and potent aliveness. The incredible anything-can-happen openness that is so fertile with possibility is not a problem to be solved by the mind.
This is exactly where Love flourishes, and where we interfere less with Love’s own agenda. This is the place that Love, the universal oneness that we truly are, is most able to express itself in the world.
It is where our lives are generated by Love, without our minds having to figure out first what needs to be done. This essential openness where we suspend our personal agendas and ideas is like the infinite wellspring from which spontaneous activity can flow.
Our actions then happen in a way where we find ourselves in each moment knowing what to do, and then whatever we do, our doing magically fits with a scenario larger than our personal knowing could ever comprehend.
From Chapter 22 of Life Beyond Belief, Everyday Living as Spiritual Practice, by Alice Gardner .
