You are learning to release. You are learning to release expectations. And you are learning to release the past. Past and future are two major things to release. And what are the past and future to you but memories or imaginings or demands that you make of them or wish to undo? You want to reinvent the past and command the future, yet past and future are what they are. The present is what it is too. What is, is. And so you release the present as well. You hold on to nothing.
In an unplanned moment when you trip and fall down the stairs, let's say, you are humbly tumbling down the stairs. You are in the midst of what you are in the midst of. You witness it. You have a calmness as it is happening. All you can do is to watch yourself falling. You aren't really doing anything. Do you see what I mean?
Later you may kick yourself and later you may object and may even ask Me how I could let that happen, yet, at the moment you are falling, you are engaged in falling. You are falling, and that is what is happening. You are unable to stop in the middle. You cannot rewind the tape. The fall is going to continue on its way until it is finished. And so is it with life, beloveds.
Life, of course, is a rising. Even as you trip and fall, you are rising.
Even when you run to the past or run to the future, you are rising. Despite gravity, you are always rising. In the same way, even when you visit the past, you are in the moment in the present revisiting the past. And when you are planning and ordering your future, you are in the present moment as you think about your future. Your focus on the present is a little blurred perhaps, yet you are in the present.
Dream your future, beloveds, and then let go of it. Do not stamp your foot about the future. You can stamp your foot all you want and make all the demands you want, and yet the future does not have to obey your demands. And so you let go of the future and you let go of the past. Let them be free, and you be free.
Just as with your free fall down the stairs, you witness what occurs. You don't have to be attached to what occurs or what does not occur, or what has or has not occurred.
You are traveling in Infinity, beloveds. Infinity is a wide open space, and Eternity, Infinity's buddy, is also wide open. There is no falling into or out of either Infinity or Eternity.
So what is all the fuss that My children make? It is nothing at all. My, yes, it seems big. It seems enormous. It seems huge. Whatever you are fussing about, it seems like the biggest thing in the world, and, yet, it is still nothing. You are absorbed in it. It is your drama, and still it is nothing at all. Whatever you are fussing about does not even leave a mark on Infinity and Eternity, which are, after all, two sides of the same coin. One you call space, and the other you call time.
What seems to happen in space and time is nothing at all. It is only the relative world. You might as well have joy from the relative world, this seeming drama that captures you and winds you around its little finger. You can unwind yourself from its grip, and that's how you can have much joy from it, this one moment of Infinity and Eternity that you are in at this very moment.
