Many of us sincerely want to grow spiritually. But our faith is not complete. Somewhere inside, a small doubt whispers:
“Is this really true? Am I not just making this up?”
What do we do with that?
Our work is not to push our doubt aside. Such avoidance is often done with the very best of intentions. We just don’t want to have these doubts.
By ignoring them, we hope they will simply go away.
In fact, trying to push things into our unconscious—to make them go away—is the genesis of much of the pain in our lives.
But we’re worried.
We fear that if these doubts persist, they will steer us off our path—that we will fail in our spiritual efforts.
The root of our trouble here is all-or-nothing thinking. We are not aware that the doubting part is just that—a part. That there is a greater whole, full of contradictory currents.
So fear not, there is another part that does believe. It might be the size of a mustard seed, but that part does have faith.
The way out is by owning all our parts. The sooner we can let the negative parts have a seat at the table, the better it will be for us. This keeps those immature parts from hiding in the corner. Because whether we acknowledge them or not, they are in the room.
It takes courage to acknowledge the parts we would rather not see.
