A single quiet thought (04/29/09)

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Stillness is within
under layers of not still.

Are you ready to let go
of not still with Me?

Give your willingness
through use of your mantra.
When focused on mantra
with desire for God-Stillness,
stillness is the result.

~From our Holy Spirit

Here is a brief conversation that I had with inner Teacher after receiving this single quiet thought:

Question: The mind wants to judge everything, including the words used in this single quiet thought.

Answer: Respond to that with the mantra and true desire for stillness.

Question: Respond to everything with the mantra?

Answer: Everything. The mantra is your way of seeking only your Self and having complete lack of interest in anything else. This is why use of mantra must be total.

Listen unto the Heart.
Observe its perfect peace and stillness.
Know knowledge there.

The head makes confusion,
and the Heart delivers a corrective response.

As the head quiets,
the Heart is also still.

Stillness is the natural state of both.
In stillness, separation does not exist.

Love is a total experience
without separation.

In Love, there is not one who knows love
and one that is the object of love;
for in one who knows and object
there is separation,
which breaks apart the fullness
of total experience.

Total experience
has no parts broken apart
and not fully known,
as an object cannot be fully known
by its perceiver.

Love is a total experience,
and in total experience
all is known fully.

That which cannot be understood
can be known.
To be known
it must not be filtered by unknowingness,
which is the mind.

The mind accepts and rejects.
What it rejects,
you choose not to know.

Let go of this acceptance
and rejection mechanism.
Rest without thought,
and discover what is known.

Steady as the ocean’s depths,
peaceful, serene;
Among all seeming changes,
swayed not at all.
This is the mark
of the Self.

Focus yourself on depth.
It is unchanging, even now.

Don’t try to make it
at the level of surface
where changes can be swift and dramatic.

Dive to find it.
Settle into it.
It is already and always there.

Realization of true Self
is the only goal
worth aiming for.

Notice all other thoughts that say,
“I must achieve this
or that
in order to be great.”

Answer quietly and confidently
each idea by saying,
“I must know my Self.
I need not achieve anything else.”

A single quiet thought & commentary (4/9/09)

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

Newly born realization
is like a newly received chick.
If you want it to thrive and grow,
you must protect it with light.
You must nurture it with love.

With light and love
new realization grows
strong and solid.

In an absence of attention
it dies,
only to be born again
some other day.

~Commentary on Awakening~

As one travels the seeming spiritual path, one is awakened one realization at a time. Each realization is a precious Gift from the Seat of Knowledge given to one who has readied himself to receive it.

Realizations are like opening one’s eyes after a heavy night of sleep. If one is grateful for the realization, one will open his eyes more and focus his Heart on it. But if one allows the sleepiness of night to again overtake his heavy eye lids, the realization is lost for a time while the depth of slumber is again experienced and cherished.

Let each realization be a time of awakening. Stay with it and appreciate it until you have fully awakened to the Knowledge that has come knocking at your door.

The peace of God
is inherent within;
Always present,
Always abiding,
Always here and now.

All you must do
is look for it
with love
and desire
and devotion.

It cannot hide
from one who seeks it earnestly
because the peace of God
is all pervading.
