Luke 11:5 Meaning He Said to Them

The friend you go to at midnight is your own awareness of being, the I AM within, and midnight is the darkness where the senses give you nothing to work with. You come with empty hands and ask, and the asking is done in that blackness where reason offers no encouragement. The friend is never far off; he is the ground of you, the one who answers when you press him.

What wins the loaves is not politeness but shameless persistence, the same brazen returning that the widow uses on the judge. A man knocks and knocks in his imagination, refusing to be embarrassed, refusing to stop, until the assumed thing feels supplied. The state held without letting go becomes the state that opens the door. Bread comes to the one who keeps asking as though the giving were already certain.
