capacity

In the spiritual realm, the realm of the psyche, we can only know what we have the capacity, the capaciousness, to know. We cannot comprehend what falls outside our capacity.

How do we increase our capacity, our ability to see the presently unseen? By continually knocking on the door of the bounds of our walls. "Knock, and it shall be opened." But not with one or two feeble knocks followed by a sigh and the words: "I tried. God knows, I tried." Tried brings only trials.

That-Which-Breathes-Us knows the difference between true knocking and just messing around. "God is not mocked." Sin-cere means "with heart" or "from the heart." When we sincerely knock through our asking, our reading, our listening, our moment-by-moment relations with all around us, by the very way we walk, talk, and eat our food, walls will drop away, our capaciousness of consciousness will expand.

This opening and expansion is an extension of Grace. One has to be graceful, grace full, to receive Grace. Knocking at the door is graceful action and when the door opens, Grace is on the other side.
