I am down to the last few pages of this amazing book that I have been reading. It is a bit of a slog. But seeing that it is on a major topic and seeing that it is a library book due on the 26th has spurred me on.

I am an intuitive Christian I suppose. There are a lot of things that I grasp without text and verbiage. I am a mystic basically as I understand it. My favorite way to learn is through experience. And that is why the reading of this book is somewhat of a slog for me.

The author is covering some great ground and for my sake doesn’t need to back every single point of the conversation with the appropriate Bible verse. It is all very scholarly is what I am trying to say. Never the less it is very thought provoking and important ground to cover.

It is primarily about how to accept suffering long term in one’s life. How to live with a problem that isn’t going away.
How to do that in a way that is consistent with one’s beliefs. All suffering can be seen as meaningful I suppose although that seems a large statement for me to be saying. It is paradoxical to have a loving God and to know that suffering still exists generally and above and beyond that to personally taste that.
To know it in a personal way deep down inside.

It took the author a whole book to get around to any kind of a conclusion but I may not get too much further than this today. Some of his threads and topics we have been playing with for years here at Caminoheads in a mystical fashion. But it is good for me to see it presented in such a scholarly fashion.

Bless you on your personal walk. You are doing the hard work each and every day. Know that you are not alone although it may seem that way sometimes.

Thanks for being here, love, Felipé.
