2 Chronicles 32:31 · World English Bible
However concerning the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent to him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.
There are moments when the felt sense of support seems to withdraw, and you are left alone with yourself. This is not abandonment.
From the Ego v. Being reading below.
The same verse, read by one tradition.
EGO & BEING
There are moments when the felt sense of support seems to withdraw, and you are left alone with yourself. This is not abandonment. It is the space in which what has been hidden in you can finally come to light. When the outer help falls silent, the contents of the mind rise up, the pride and the fear you did not know you carried, and now they can be seen.
This is the deep purpose of such trials. What is unconscious in you cannot be released until it becomes conscious, and it becomes conscious only when it surfaces. He was left alone so that he might know his own heart, because you cannot let go of what you have never faced.
Ego v. Being lens
What have I been keeping noise around so I do not have to see it?
The wound is where the light gets in. What you hide from yourself stays untouched until something breaks open enough to let you see it.
Still water shows the face. Only when the stirring stops and you are left with no distraction do you finally see what you have been carrying.
What is unseen in the mind keeps working you from behind. Bring it into the light of attention and it loses the power it had while hidden.
