Guiding Thought

Your consciousness is the gateway through which Divine Love flows, materializing your infinite Supply. Be now conscious of your own Inner Divine Presence—Infinite Love—expressing through you, providing you with the means to be aware, to understand, and to know It as your Self– more and more!

Sharing

I aspire to be nothing, no-thing.

No-thing: the emptiness of mind, the emptiness of space. Eternal Peace.

Only ego wants something, some-thing.

Only ego wants to fill nothing with some-thing.

Filling nothing with something encroaches upon Peace,

not eliminating it, but gentrifying its residence, being inhospitable to it.

Peace recedes, withdraws, becomes smaller and smaller, more faint, more distant, forgotten.

Like faeries and elves.

I aspire to Peace, to no-thing-ness,

so I remove the things from my mind–these thoughts, these worries, these burdens;

so I remove the things from my heart, these attachments, these desires, these needs.

Ego responds and says,

But then…

Who are you?

You’ve never been without thoughts, worries, burdens, attachments, desires, needs.

Who are you, if I you are not these things?

Who are you if you are not some thing?

Ego makes a good point (to itself). A part of me (that ego part) listens and grows fearful–who would I be without these things? I want to be something, don’t I?

Don’t I?

Above all else, I want Peace.

Above all else I want no-thing.

Wanting no-thing / wanting Peace; these are the same.

Guiding Thought

We accept our light and our lightness! We feel our Self expand! As we perceive change around us, we remain anchored in our Being of Light. We allow ourselves to sit peacefully in the still place of nothingness as life moves quickly around us.

Reflection

Life is moving quickly. This is a good reminder today. There is more to life than “me” and the things I experience. There is a whole world out there, populated with people who are doing their best, just like I am.

I think lots of people are in a whirlwind, are reeling, and they don’t even know it. It’s “just how life is”.

Taking just a moment to breathe, and be aware of something bigger than me, something deeper than the activity buzzing around me feels peaceful. I want to remain in that peace. But there is work to do, tax information to prepare, research to do, families to feed…and life continues barreling down.

Even when my body is still, I can still feel a sense of bustling activity. Breathe. Just breathe.

Peace is possible. Peace is possible in doings. I can be centered, rested and restful, focused, aware, balanced, and at peace all the time. I know this is possible. It seems like life is a practice of going into this state, remaining there for a time, then falling out of it, due to some new circumstance or situation. Then, I have to learn how to get back into the state of peace, with more factors to consider. Infinite peace, in infinite situations, in infinite combinations of situations and inter-relationships. I know it’s possible, because I keep doing it, and I keep getting better at it.

Today is good reminder…because I am tired and I feel overwhelmed. And I know that all that means is that I am learning how to find my peace now, in this situation, in this circumstance. And I’m doing it.
