The Buddha

Heavenletter # 1770 Published on: September 9, 2005
God Said:
The world has you in its thrall. It distracts you from
Oneness. The world is so very busy. Sometimes it is
all-consuming. The world makes you believe that there
is something you have to do, and that it is important,
as if your very life depends upon it. The world would
teach you that doing is more important than Being.

Perhaps life on Earth is the story of the Tortoise and
the Hare. Perhaps the real story is that the tortoise
could have won the race by staying right where he was.
Perhaps he could have won the race without running in
it at all, simply by virtue of his thought rising from
Being. Perhaps, when you come down to it, there is
nothing on Earth but Stillness.

From the well of Being, you have a thought. A thought
is like an itch, and you feel impelled to act on it.
So you do some acrobatics, and you think you have done
something, and you think something has happened. This
is the arena of life in the world.

If I am everywhere, where is there for Me to move to?

If you desire calm in the midst of action, then you
must be like the Buddha. He sits, and the world
revolves. He is a perfect example of being in the
world but not of it. His sustenance is not from the
world. Rather he sustains the world by the level of
his thought. In the midst of calmness, life moves. The
Buddha does not run. He does not have to. And as the
world revolves, the Buddha laughs. Is it not amusing
to know that you are independent of the world? to know
that you can get everywhere and accomplish everything
within the motionlessness of where you sit? Buddha’s
physical sitting is a metaphor for the interior
stillness of life.

Being is still. Being moves across the stage, but
Being is unmoved. Or We can say that Being has one
motion, and that is love, and that love encompasses
everything. Certainly it permeates everything. Love
seeps in everywhere although everything is already
steeped in love. Established in the center of love,
where is there to move to? Where is there to get? And
who is there to get there?

There is nothing in the world but I, and I am not of
the world. I do not race around. I do not panic. I do
not have deadlines, for all is accomplished. All was
accomplished from Being and the inception of My
thought. This is how I can say that all is well, mean
it, and know it, and so can you.

What is the flurry about? There is no storm. There is
Being.

There is no upheaval. A crane can dig up love and turn
it over, and it is still love. A spoon can scoop up
love, and stir it in coffee, and still it is love. You
can be stirred in the world and yet be unstirred. Only
love can stir you, and you are already stirred, and so
you are complete, and love is all. So love is the
stirrer, the stirred, and the simple act of stirring
with or without a spoon.

You are immersed in love. There is nothing else to be
immersed in. There is no immerser but love, and love
is the immersion.

Is there a physical world? There is the thought of it.
Are you physical? Your body is. And your body is a
thought. You are beyond thought, but you cannot be
beyond love.

Candy is candy. It comes in many flavors, shapes and
sizes, and yet it can only be candy. It can be a candy
truck or a candy Santa Claus, and still it is candy.

Whatever form you take, you are love. You cannot be
unlove. Unlove does not exist. You can look unloving.
You can be the very picture of unloving, and still you
are love, so why not concede and just be it?
