===='''''[[Stillness]]'''''====

*Ham: My lesson is concerning that ‘[[point]] of [[enlightenment]]’ referred to in ancient teachings. There is much [[truth]] to be gained in [[studying]] some parts of these ancient religious systems, especially concerning the [[practice]] of [[meditation]]. Abraham has requested that you retire [[alone]] and seek the [[stillness]]. This refers to first, [[stillness]] in [[body]]. It is very [[difficult]] without much [[practice]] to [[attain]] heightened spiritual awareness during [[physical]] [[activity]].

The second is [[stillness]] of [[mind]]. This step is considerably more [[difficult]] because the mind ever tends toward [[activity]]. Yes, these teachings are found from many sources generally. I [[wish]] this evening to [[clarify]] this practice. The goal of [[stillness]] seeking is different. I request not the seeking of [[blissful]] ease [[experience]], but rather, the [[supreme]] [[exercise]] of true [[faith]] - the true faith of the [[child]] reaching out with [[courage]] toward [[the Father]] and the [[reciprocal]] downward reaching of the Father towards His child. This is the [[sublime]] [[experience]] in life, and much [[guidance]], [[inspiration]], [[foresight]], and spiritual [[insight]] may thus be obtained as the reward of the [[sincere]] [[faith]]-seeking child.

The great [[spiritual]] [[power]] [[inherent]] in the [[presence]] of the [[Thought Adjuster]] is never ever [[realized]] in mortal [[consciousness]]. You can expand this [[consciousness]] of [[God]] awareness by [[diligent]] [[practice]], [[conscious]] [[thought]], consciously centering the thought [[process]] on [[the Father|Him]], and also on [[Christ Michael]], but the full [[consciousness]] on such extremely powerful spiritual beings cannot be [[realized]] during the [[physical]] life. So powerful is He that even a momentary full [[consciousness]], that is-His being filling your consciousness completely, which is not to say complete consciousness of Him, but complete consciousness possible of Him-would result in [[translation]] - [[fusion]]. That is also the ‘[[Deity]] [[embrace]].’

His [[supreme]] [[desire]], of course, is to reach you more fully day by day, to impart His [[guidance]] - some of His [[awareness]] and His teaching directly to your [[mind]]. What a [[change]] of life results from the [[sincere]] [[effort]] to [[listen]] and to [[receive]] Him, His [[guidance]], His instruction, and His [[presence]]. What a [[supreme]] experience! What a supreme delight! What a supreme advancement in your own personal spiritual [[development]] this is!

[[Conscious]] [[awareness]] of [[God]] directly results in the [[immediate]] [[transcription]] of this [[consciousness]] to the [[soul]]. This soul consciousness is immediately upstepped and made more [[perfect]] and [[divine]], and thus more like Him. These soul [[transcription]]s are a permanent part of the ascendant [[self]] which is never lost, is a permanent [[reality]], and this permanent reality is made by your conscious [[decision]] to make it.
