In synergism there is a
change in how we present ourselves to each other. The change takes place
by a process of mutual regeneration. The process begins when you admit
that you often know what is right to do, but fail to do it. You are not
the man or woman you ought to be. You are flawed. Regeneration begins when you decide to
change your direction. In synergism this happens mutually with another
person. It is not something you can do alone. In regeneration, you
dissolve the fear that accompanies broken relationships. When you can
finally trust someone, you are not afraid of him or her any more. Your
fear is gone. For synergism, you have to do the right work first, and that
work is mutual regeneration.
All synergism you
find in another person.
All
synergism you find in another person. It is impossible to break this principle
of synergism. You can only disobey it; then, it will break you. If you omit
doing something you need to do, it is most likely that you will do something
else you are not supposed to do. You will hit some other mark, less than you
intended. Regeneration is a process of becoming spiritually or morally reformed
to an improved state at the same time it is happening to another person with
whom you interact, to restore the whole relationship. It is
actually borne along by a whole environment of commonly felt spiritual need.
Regeneration is washing. You clean yourself up - wash out the dirt.
You start over using better ideas about yourself, better ideas about me.
It�s a spiritual renovation. Synergism involves a mutual focus on
closeness to one another. It is a closeness like that found in the best
parts of love, friendship, fellowship and partnership. We become rightly
related and can finally talk freely to each other. We have left behind
those anemic shackles of ideology, position, tasking, membership and anonymity.
We allow ourselves to be vulnerable and our defenses are down. The rules
have changed.
Process means
it happens over a period of time. Mutual regeneration is something you know is
happening in your relationships. It differs from the technology and other work
you do. You can see improvements in yourself and your relationships over time.
There are some who believe that regeneration with others reaches its fullness
when you have addressed your relationship to God.
What
you really need is someone to support you as you develop your will for your
life. He or she will be more interested in who you are and who you are
becoming, than where you are and what you are doing. For your part, you
must have committed to developing others alongside yourself, surrendered to the
changed behavior this requires, and separated yourself from things that detract
from it. Mutual means you've found someone else who is willing to do it right
along with you.
