The
black box. Every airplane has one – and many cars do, too, nowadays: a device
which constantly, precisely and without judgment records everything that the
operator does.
Imagine
something which constantly and precisely perceives and records everything that
we think – even unconsciously, like many fears and biases; every choice and
decision we make; and everything we do. Imagine
further something which does all of that with love and active support for our
growth, individually and in relationship to each other. That is how I see the Holy Spirit.
Let
us strive to be ever more aware of our thoughts, choices, and actions so that
we may have ever less cause to seek forgiveness from the Holy Spirit, and from
ourselves – and ever more desire to seek guidance from that spirit.
