It’s like when you climb a ladder. When you get to the
fourth rung, you may think you are on the highest step and cannot go higher, so
you hold on to the fourth rung. But in fact there is a fifth rung; if you want
to get to it, you have to be willing to abandon the fourth rung. Ideas and
perceptions should be abandoned all the time, to make room for better ideas and
truer perceptions. This is why we must always ask ourselves, “Am I sure?

Die to live
Give to receive
Lose to win
This is Sacred mathematics at work
As long as we hang on to
Old ideas
Old perceptions
Old fears
Old hopes
Old expectations
Old injuries
Old narratives
Even
Old victories
We will fail to find the truth
And fail to find Sacred vision for ourselves
Our relationships
Our work
Instead we will be stuck
Inside a dense box
Of our own making
We must die
Let go
So that God’s new thing
May emerge in us, and through us
