💙 Already Worthy

Stop trying to earn what love has already given. You are worthy before you achieve.

"El pavor a ser uno mismo es el gran obstáculo de la #libertad, pues la libertad equivale a ser uno mismo y proceder de acuerdo con ello" -- #ThomasMerton, Diario de un #ermitaño, 6.6.1964.

“Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.”
~ Thomas Merton

the call to love our neighbor, who is everyone, comes without caveats.

Pride is a stubborn insistence of being what we are not and never were intended to be. Pride is a deep, insatiable need for unreality, an exorbitant demand that others believe the lie we have made ourselves believe about ourselves.

The greatest need of our time is to clean out the enormous mass of mental and emotional rubbish that clutters our minds.

An exchange between Wendell Berry and Tim DeChristopher. I've been in that building Berry mentions.

#WendallBerry #Shakers #ThomasMerton #PleasantHillKentucky
WB: It was the Shakers who were sure the end could come anytime, and they still saved the seeds and figured out how to make better diets for old people. Thomas Merton was interested in the Shakers. I said to him, “If they were certain that the world could end at any minute, how come they built the best building in Kentucky?” “You don’t understand,” he said. “If you know the world could end at any minute, you know there’s no need to hurry. You take your time and do the best work you possibly can.” That was important to me. I’ve repeated it many times. TD: That’s why the despair is not paralyzing. Knowing that it’s too late to prevent collapse, knowing that we’re not going to stop the catastrophic end, knowing that we’re going to die — it doesn’t mean that we stop. It means that we live in this moment as fully as we can. My granddaughter, sitting at a desk next to a window in a Shaker dormitory at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky.

#ThomasMerton #quote, forwarding the belief that destructive hatred feels powerful because it is drawn from group anger rather than individual moral choices.
We see much of that today.

From "New Seeds of Contemplation":
"It is easier to serve the hate-gods because they thrive on the worship of collective fanaticism. To serve the hate-gods, one has only to be blinded by collective passion. To serve the God of Love one must be free, one must face the terrible responsibility of the decision to love in spite of all unworthiness whether in oneself or in one's neighbor.”

Yet the fact remains that we are invited to forget ourselves on purpose, cast our awful solemnity to the winds and join in the general dance.
