A higher dimension of reality

We cannot “do the will of God” if we see or cling to a memory of it as being different from our own desire. To be one with God’s will is to realise that nothing else is real. This happens, not as an intellectual assent but as a whole-hearted consent, as when we love. We become wholly and holy present. It may be in the supermarket queue or in the company of trees or with a thing of beauty or playing with a child, though less likely in a church or reading a newsletter. In just this moment, we feelingly know we have slipped, stumbled or been guided into a higher dimension of reality. Or of “consciousness” but it is not about thought only about what we “see”.
