Need to know basis

The age of reason. Being reasonable. If we can only reason with them... There must be a reason. Everything happens for a reason.

Growing up in the age of reason, we need to make sense out of things. Justify choices. Make pro and con lists and let reason decide what is best for us.

Maybe one of the "reasons" we have trouble committing, is because we have given our power over to reason. The higher the stakes, the more fear, the more we want reason- guaranteed results. Stacking the odds in our favor. What is that if not a fear-based approach? And yet, as we enter into the Age of Enlightenment, our wiring is recognizing the fact that there are other, possibly "higher" faculties and factors at play. Maybe the difficulty we have in committing, is because we are torn between reason and intuition.

When we really listen to our inner voice, gut, heart, when have we been wrong?

And at some point, we need to surrender our need to know why. The need to make sense. We surrender our need to reason as our first response. As we surrender our need to reason, we begin to trust our intuitive faculties more. The connection to the divine becomes more "real." It becomes easier to commit to what is "right" for us, which leads to a life of less stress, least fear, less doubt, more joy, more inner peace and satisfaction.
