Evanson (Jonathan): I will now make comment on [[stillness]], as Elyon has emphasized once again for you all. This is Evanson. I make these comments to provide [[insight]] into what is a distinction between what is spiritual [[awareness]] and [[spiritual]] [[thinking]].

You have in your upbringing learned the [[law]]s of [[mathematics]]. In so doing you have come to be proficient in such [[technique]]s as addition, multiplication, and those higher applications of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra algebra] and such. When you use these [[principles]] today in your life, you are no longer concerned with rehashing the [[theorems]] that describe how these [[principles]] work. You are capable of executing a [[function]] and deriving your answer with [[relative]] ease. Though you had at one time spent hours [[memory|memorizing]] your multiplication tables, today they [[flow]] when you need to have a quick [[response]], an answer that is independent of the more laborious derivations of how multiplication takes place.

[[Stillness]] is that [[ability]] to be aware of [[the Father]] even when your [[mind]] is not occupied with [[spiritual]] concepts. Stillness is the ability to be instantly able to [[function]] in [[service]] without having to [[prepare]] yourself, without having to review the [[original]] principles, [[truth]] theorems, which are the [[foundation]]s to your [[action]]s. In a [[sense]], stillness is similar to having the [[ability]] to [[simultaneously]] express all the numbers in a multiplication table. It is whole-grasping rather than particular citing. This is why such emphasis is made by us teachers, for it [[encourages]] you to [[become]] even more capable in [[function]]; it [[encourages]] you this way far more than it will encourage you to become more [[enlightened]], for the [[process]] of [[enlightenment]] is the process of grasping at the unattained which implies [[degrees]] of inability. <u>[[Function]], on the other hand, is a demonstration of [[attained]] states. [[Stillness]] is the bridge.</u>
