We’re actors who are completely and hopelessly lost in our acting, on stage, being totally the part we’re playing. And that’s valuable. It produces learning, growth, happiness and a lot of sorrow. When we’re done with the suffering and want to travel down a different path, it’s time to take the pathless path. It’s time to awaken and come home.
God (or ultimate reality) is. We move and have our being in God. There’s only one thing going on and that’s God. Know this and relax into Divinity’s arms, all’s well.
We are not our thoughts. Then what are we? We’re deeper than our thoughts. We’re not our minds either. We’re deeper than that. We’re that which is conscious of what’s going on. We’re that to which objects and events appear.
There’s a great design, a play, a master act with innumerable players, underway. This drama is ultimately guided and directed by the Divine. We, individuals, are not apart from the Divine. Our job, or our acting part, is exactly what we deliver on a daily basis. And we’re fully capable because we are the chosen ones. Especially when we wake up to fully volunteer in this grand undertaking, we can know that we’re where we need to be. And that all is in the gentle and loving hands of our all-wise and merciful creator.
Our first priority must be self. When we discover who we really are and find peace only then can we be of any real service to the World. Until then we’re grasping for light in the darkness. Once attuned to the Divine within, we become another conduit for Love to flow through us. We become love, which is the divine directive and the only worthwhile occupation on Earth.
Only nowness is what’s going on. And in the nowness ‘I’ am the only subject. Without this ‘I’ witnessing all objects and events, nothing is. So ‘I’ am necessary for my world to exist. My world is the only world that can ever be known to me, and therefore for the world to exist, I must be. The world is in this Now, my world is Now, I am the World and Now.
The other day I was watching this moving documentary called ‘The Power of the Heart‘ during which Maya uttered the words above. The story’s about what heart-centeredness offers us a society and an individual. And her point was that to leverage the power of the heart we must become calm. And if we don’t know how to do that then she suggests that we ‘do nothing’.
