Every “tommarow” is a mystery till it unfolds and becomes a experience to be called as “yesterday”!! Accept it or not, ‘Mystery’ is a part of us…
Warm regards,

Acceptance, period, is a damn hard spiritual principle to exercise, mysteries or not.

First, accepting myself and who I am beneath all the illusions and presumptions about myself I find that I carry moment to moment. Once I find degrees of self-acceptance, then my ability to accept the divine moves into a realm of reality that I can employ moment by moment. I no longer am apt to soar into fantastical expections of what a god can do in my life but, instead, begin to appreach the godliness I begin to perceive in the world around me as I am no longer creating that world through the filters, maps and presumptions of what life is supposed to be.

Accepting that divinity does, in fact, preside over all, I can then begin to accept what moment to moment confronts me as neither anything personal nor at my expense but, instead, the grand movement of life through the matrix of things we call our planet.

That is the mystery, how acceptance transforms perception until, in fact, we come to know God and how God moves in our moments of life.

Mystery.. of life..of love…of God..
How can we ever comprehend it?
We can’t, but… when we breathe in …the life, the love, when we feel it with our heart, we invite… God to guide us through even the darkest streets of being..
being..human, being..alive, being..the mystery..

love

why is acceptence of the mystery a noble or as paulo says noblest expereince !

is it because it’s a humbling expereince, ego takes a big beating ! it modifies the human instinct to know, takes away the frenzy to know everything and leaves one free to ‘know’ that which is of his/her choice !

does acceptance of mystery implies another acceptance, are mysteries designed for amusement ! mystery !
