#182: When You Can’t Think Your Way Through It
What would change if you loosened your grip on who you think you are?
In this episode of The Angela Montano Hour: Prayer on the Air, Angela explores what becomes possible when we stop living so tightly inside our own point of view.
When we are caught in the push and pull of the thought field, trying to figure out what should happen next, there is very little available besides more push, more pull. But as Angela reminds us, “thoughts are no problem if we let thoughts think.”
When our grip loosens, even slightly, we become available to something steadier underneath: the Love that is immovable.
Love is never dormant. Divine loving attention is always present. It only needs our attention.
Angela explores contemplation as an activation of curiosity for a spiritual aim, opening us to insight beyond our current purview. And she asks a beautiful question:
How lightly can I hold myself?
She also offers a powerful distinction between reciprocity and receivership: moving from the expectation that what we give should come back to us in a particular way, toward trusting what is ours by right of consciousness and becoming willing to receive our good in ways we may not have anticipated.
This week’s prayer requests bring these teachings into two very human experiences:
When your work isn’t bringing the results you hoped for: Angela explores receivership, breadth versus depth, trusting guidance, and the willingness to listen for what is truly ours to do.
Processing grief, anger, and loss: Angela explores how blame can keep anger from circulating and releasing, and how we can allow anger to move without allowing anger to have us.
The invitation throughout is to hold ourselves a little more lightly, listen beyond the thought field, and become available to the Love that is already here.
When we can’t think our way through it, perhaps there is something deeper to listen for.
