Only one thing goes on, Life, God, this. This Truth is liberating. We move, live and have our entire being within this reality, now, today, always. There is no thing else, there is nothing else, but Life, God. Rejoice and ‘be of good cheer’!!
God know us intimately. She knows our needs and our wants. True prayer (and meditation) is nothing but showing up in God’s presence with empty hands while staying still in thought and action.
My mind is the container within which my entire world dances. It’s up to me whether I dance in joy or whether I whimper along within Life (my mind). What choice will I make this moment? It wouldn’t be a choice at all unless I ruled my own mind, and who but I must rule ‘my’ mind?
The Mind of the universe is the same mind that we are. That grand Mind is our very source. Returning to and knowing that mind is our privilege and only destiny. Undertaking such a journey leads to awakening and eventually enlightenment.
The peace of God lies within us. It is us. Our essence, our true ‘I’-ness, can never be threatened, it always is, we always are, I AM. Everything else changes constantly and therefore is not ultimately real. To claim this peace that we are, we must re-identify with that which is real, that which is us, I AM.
Imagine wearing a futuristic pair of VR glasses that provide an experience of virtual-reality that’s as real as it can get. With those glasses on, our body could be sitting somewhere and not moving at all. The experience due to the glasses could have us hurtling through a tunnel, in a fast moving car that’s avoiding going out of control on an icy road. After just a little while it would be easy to forget that we have these fancy glasses on. And it would be easy to completely slip into the character that we are, within that VR world. While still seated on a piece of furniture our entire world within the VR could be topsy-turvy, violent and very colorful.
Someone within the VR might ask us, ‘Where is Reality?’ How might we respond to that question? What do we have to do to re-discover reality? Do we really want to exit the VR? Some questions to ponder as we ruminate on our life on this planet and at this point in Time and Space…
What we truly want is what we experience in our lives. When we realize that this world and its experiences will never truly satisfy us, we are then ready to rediscover the truth that we are. We will begin to experience peace, love, joy and happiness when we desire truth more than anything else.
