Floods of Arousal

Floods Of Arousal.
Peace loving floods of rousal link us to mysticism and the long tradition of the via negativa. Via negativa brings out our spirit's basic unknowability. At times we’re best when we stand empty. We cheer on a radical “Letting Go.” We loose an urge to “Let Go.” We release not only what material items we possess. We release signs of our intellect and spirit as well. "Blessed are the poor in spirit." As poor in spirit we “Let Go” of all we know. We admit what we know of our spirit. We “Let Go” of all will, even the will to do the will of our spirit. It is this radical “Letting Go” of our will, of what we know, and of what we have that allows our spirit to take us.
Peace loving floods of rousal, like silence, like love, is indeed a gift. It’s not an event we choose. It’s not an event we reason our way into. It’s a place or force into which we fall. It’s a thing in which we find ourselves. Our fall into peace loving floods of rousal, into silence, has the nature of an accident. Though we can't choose our accidents, we can learn to make ourselves accident prone. We make ourselves available for the fall into peace loving floods of rousal. These always come as grace.
