Storms are passing things. Just as nights pass, so do storms, storms of all kinds, physical, emotional, mental. Sometimes you are glad that now is not forever, and sometimes you want now to be forever. You want to keep the glory of this moment.
I’ve come to tell you that there is only the glory of this moment. Eternity IS this moment. There is no other moment.
The time that the world believes in is illusory.
So right now, in this moment, as you sit with Me, and you don’t think about the mistake you made yesterday or all you have to do today and tomorrow, are you beginning to feel Our peace? You are, aren’t you?
And, so, I’ve come to tell you that this is all there is, beloved, this which you feel right now. I might call it a stirring of peace though, of course, peace has no stirring. That’s just it – peace isn’t stirred, and yet you feel an enlivenment of the peace. What you are having is an awareness of this stillness of peace within you, the awareness of stillness that you do not always keep even as the stillness itself is always with you.
This is the glory of meditation, the entering into that stillness. That is the idea anyway. Stillness is omnipresent. Your awareness is not.
Let’s imagine that your desk is cluttered. So much is scattered on the surface of the desk that you cannot see the top of the desk at all. And yet the top of the desk obviously is there or all the clutter couldn’t be on it.
And this is you, all of you, My beloveds. You may see so much surface that you can’t see what lies beneath the surface. You may know the top of the desk is there, yet intellectual knowledge doesn’t cut it for you. Clear the desk, and you can see the desktop. You don’t have to think about it. You don’t have to consider the desktop at all. If you sweep everything off the top of the desk into a box, and then pour the contents back onto the desktop, you keep a little more sense of what lies beneath the clutter.
And so, as with awareness of Our shared stillness, each time you have a tiny bit more of awareness, this awareness clings and stays fresher for you. However you come to Me, you come to Me. You take the clutter off the desk, and there you see Me, as if shining on the desk.
I said As if, yet there is no As if about it.
I am the Stillness within you that you can visit any hour of the day or night. I am always here. I never leave. I am with you always. You can deny it, yet it is a rock-solid Truth.
Come closer to the actual desktop of My heart that has been buried under your other concerns.
I am the doorway to Everything and, therefore, Eternity, even as there is no doorway to Eternity and nothing to attach a door to.
When you write down My words, you are in Eternity. Inside Eternity, you do not think. You are.
You are not without mind. When you write down Truth, you are Truth. Your mind is present yet not engaged.
Among the benefits of writing down My words is your silent awareness of Me. The Awareness I speak of is not a thought. It is more like no thought, yet awareness is. Your mind contributes to the writing down and the spelling of words, and yet your mind is on minimum voltage. Something else bigger is at play. It is I.
