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

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.

You are all growing in grace, in truth, in light, in beauty, in goodness, usually very slowly, sometimes faster. Do not become discouraged for this growth proceeds - unabated by your awareness or not. Spiritual growth is transforming and this transformation is never sudden. The seed does not become the tree overnight. All growth, physical, morontial, and spiritual growth, takes time for completion. Yet, as this growth is accomplished and certain levels are attained, consciousness - even sudden consciousness of this growth - may happen. And this increased awareness thus augments this growth, and thus, allows further growth and development to occur unconsciously.
