Julie alludes to this in her comment regarding being filled with the holy spirit.<br /><br />The rishis of old were big on surrender as the primary mode to get with God.<br /><br />The sannayasin, the renunciant, the monk, the nun, all take this road.<br /><br />For most folk, the best bet is to live a conventional life and just keep asking for guidance, and then acting on it when given.<br /><br />Or, you can try to reach out to God (hack?), and try to figure God out using various methods, but this is labor intensive and researchers agree it has a lesser yield.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-39171497304902566972017-06-07T17:18:04.973-07:002017-06-07T17:18:04.973-07:00Chesterton says something similar, I think in the ...Chesterton says something similar, I think in the Everlasting Man -- that the server had to be wiped clean (of paganism) in order install the new program.
