One of the defining characteristics of God is limitlessness. In stands in stark contrast to our human experience of limits. We live in a world defined by lines, boundaries, time and space. We operate in bodies encased by a physical structure of skin and bones and all other kinds of dense matter. We move in a particular direction and come up against a restriction or block. All of these show up as interference between our reality and who we are at our core. In the moments we find ourselves transcending time and space we get a glimpse of how God operates. We feel it in our hearts when we are touched by something which cannot be bound in a physical experience. My daily dates with God have opened my eyes and my heart to limitless possibilities. They are always there for us but because of interference often from our rational mind trying to find a matter of fact way of understanding everything we live in limited options. It is why I have found making a concerted effort to reach for the hand of God and ask, “God, how do you see this? or “Allow me to see what you see here in this moment.” Those requests create interference in the form of pausing and questioning my thinking. We get glimpses through the interference when we let go of our limitations on possibilities and are willing to be present to something outside of what our minds’ can conjure up. Using the principle of interference to our advantage is a way of putting limits on the automatic inclination of our mind to run interference for what is possible. We do not have to dislike or get frustrated with how our mind’s system operates. We can choose to make it work for us. Using interference with our own minds provides the pause needed to bring the heart online. Using interference makes it possible to remember to reach for God’s insight when we find ourselves lost in our limitations.
