* * * * "God helps those who let Him." This principle can be utilized consciously whenever choices and decisions confront us. To let God help us means to suspend all calculative thinking, anxiousness, and worried mental agonizing about what should be or what should not be. We need the courage which dares to "not know" in order to discern what God knows. The Oriental sages tell us that "knowing can come only from not knowing." Therefore, willingness to not know can make us receptive to inspired wisdom. To many this may seem like foolish passivity, or even irresponsible "do nothingness." But, in fact, this is not negligence, or apathy, or passivity, or aggressiveness. It is "alert reverent responsiveness" which forms the basis of enlightened, creative, and intelligent decisiveness. -Beyond the Dream Thomas Hora, M.D. + "Men of goodwill are all that stands between us and the devil." -13 Days Film about the Cuban Missle Crisis
