When you believe the patterns of wisdom in existence point to One Cause with intelligence and free choice, intimacy with the Creator becomes possible.
The relationship begins to be felt through awe.
As trust in His goodness grows, awe can deepen into love, and expressing appreciation can deepen both awe and love.
How can belief change the way you meet difficulty?
That belief can also change how your nervous system experiences life.
Instead of a difficulty meaning, “Something is wrong and I need to control this,” [through people pleasing or narcissism] you can practice asking:
“What is my responsibility now?”
That can build resilience because pain, uncertainty, and disappointment do not have to make life feel meaningless. You can look for the next healthy choice even when you do not understand why something happened.
How can awe make life feel more meaningful?
Awe can also make life feel more meaningful.
The more deeply you notice the wisdom, beauty, order, relationships, and possibilities built into existence, the more ordinary life can feel like you are standing inside something much greater than yourself.
Can your nervous system learn joy instead of fear?
And when your nervous system increasingly trusts that a good Creator is guiding reality, it can become more capable of feeling joy, appreciation, awe, love, and even deep bliss instead of experiencing existence mainly through fear and the need for control.
How does intimacy with the Creator grow?
Intimacy grows as you speak with Him honestly about your feelings.
Joy comes from noticing that life is a gift, while sadness can come from feeling how much more of His goodness and closeness could still be revealed.
Spiritual growth means improving your personality so you can have deeper relationships and accept more responsibility.
What happens when you mess up?
And when you mess up, you repair what you can and begin again.
