Progressive Transparency
Living with
two children I find it best to extend information on a need to know
basis. Although I find myself wanting to
tell details to them, often it is best to feed small bits of information when the time is right. Recently I
came across this phrase, “progressive transparency” and it made me think not
only of how I share with my children, but truly how God works with us.
We are not
given a download of the Universe upon arrival on Earth. Clearly, that would be overwhelming. As children, we are new to the World yet
little by little we learn about our environment through our senses; tasting,
touching, hearing, seeing, smelling and intuition. We quickly gather information in order to
survive. We learn, grow and expand as
needed when we are ready. Progressively
is how we move from one point to the next.
Transparency moves with us.
Progress
happens when we are ready. Crawling
comes before walking. Speaking comes
before writing. My daughter is from
Guatemala and came home when she was five.
She spoke a little Spanish when she came home and no English. She couldn’t ride a bike, swim a stroke or
read a book. Now, with progress she can
do all three. As she encounters new
challenges progressively life becomes more transparent to her.
As we age
into adulthood and beyond this transparent progress continues. As we mature through lessons, learning and
growth Creator begins to show us more of the World, seen and unseen, more of
ourselves and more of Him/Her. This is
expansion and ultimately ascension. We
must progress or we will not be ready for this transparency and it will not be
given to us. Progressive transparency is
a privilege. As children we learn
privileges come with responsibility.
This continues into adulthood, without responsibility God cannot become
transparent. We are not ready and thus
not prepared. While progressive
transparency is how the Universe works, we must join in and be part of the
process in order for our continual self-advancement. This is the ultimate goal achievement and
leads to our own transparency within ourselves.
