You move in and out of many dimensions. Even in the relative world you do. You don an apron. You take an apron off. You drive a car. You ride a bus. You go fast. You go slow. You read a detective story. You read poetry. You are going in and out of layers of dimensions all the time. Entering other dimensions is really not anything new to you.
In the pause between each dimension, you enter the Divine. Much of relative life itself is divine. When you feel joy, you have entered a dimension of joy. When you feel sad, you have entered a dimension of sadness.
You do not have to be happy every minute. Be in the dimension you are in, and know you can leave it and enter another dimension at will. Let Us say you are in a dimension of sadness. You don't have to stay. You don't have to escape either as if a dragon were chasing you. Enjoy your sadness for a while, and then get up and leave.
Between each dimension in the relative world that you enter lies a depth of silence. You like to be in this depth, and sometimes you are aware that you are. Much of the time, you are not aware. That is all right too, believe it or not!
You are released from even having to be happy! Your life on Earth is not really a chapter about achieving. It will come as a relief to you to know that it is all right to be an underachiever! You do not have to achieve happiness every moment. Happiness in the relative world doesn't seem to work like that anyway.
Happiness usually comes unbidden. Of course, you can go for entertainment. You can enjoy a good musical. You can enjoy a cup of java. You can watch a good movie on TV. These are perfectly legitimate activities. For a while, you entertain yourself and so distract yourself from your huddled thoughts of sadness.
Of course, I do not tell you to settle down into sadness and get comfortable there and stay there for as long as you can get away with it. I say rather that it is one chair you sit in. You have other chairs to sit in. Get up from the Sadness Chair and take another seat. It is not bad to be sad. It is just a chair you sit in, but you don't want to hog the chair you happen to be sitting in for a while. You get up and try out another seat or another bed the way Goldilocks did.
Do not tell yourself that you must never sleep in the Sad Bed. You try it out, that's all. In a store, you would try out various kinds of mattresses. Nothing wrong with that. And whatever mattress you buy, you do not keep it for life. No mattress is permanent, beloveds. No chair is. No mood is.
Between each mood lies a Bed of Silence. Underlying each mood is the Bed of Silence. You can be more aware of it. Beneath sadness lies this rich silence. Beneath great joy lies this rich silence. Beneath pain. Underlying everything is this rich range of silence. You can't lose, beloveds.
There is one bed you are always lying in, and that is the Bed of Silence. It is utterly yours. We lie down in this bed together, and We never get up. Meanwhile, you dream you go to a department store, and try out other beds. I accompany you regardless. Even in your dreams and in your illusion, I stay by your side. I don't leave you.
