[[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> | [[Stillness]] is that [[ability]] to be aware of [[the Father]] even when your [[mind]] is not occupied with [[spiritual]] concepts.
