==Ideal==
==Ideal==
Each of you is familiar with the reality around you and can accurately determine the most likely outcome of a given course of action. I ask you now to leave those ideas behind. Rather, in this new arena of functioning, embrace the ideals of what could be, as contrasted with the most likely outcome of what would be. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2003-08-24-Expectations#Ideal Michael]

==Presenting Stillness==
There is only one reality point in the universe which changes not, the abode of God, stationary, ever-present as is the Creator, yet all around this stillpoint of Paradise is dynamism, constant change.
Indeed, all things change beyond this central abode except one thing, and that is your resolve to do the will of God, to become perfect in your soul capacity as He is in His universe standing. This stillness is what the world hungers for today, the demonstration of endurance, of duration, a never changing devotion.
This will not be revealed to the world through any religious organization or any movement or cause, for these all will change as well. Such structures do not demonstrate stillness that I speak of, rather they gravitate towards fixation and stagnation. This presentation of stillness can only be revealed singly through the radiance of each personality engaged in a relationship with the Creator.
You practice stillness to refresh the soul, to further your relationship with God so that you will function spiritually when tribulation comes your way, and you practice so that you will present its peace to others. Jesus, when here on Earth devoted his entire life to this mode of living, ever and always seeking the Father's will, even to the point of saying, "My hour has not yet come", willing always to adjust to the time flow of the eternal will.
While at times you are disappointed with your discipline of practicing stillness, I assure you that you are looked upon with favor for the fact that you are all more diligently pursuing the presentation of the stillness, of constant devotion to God, and ever and always seeking to refine and improve your ability to live in alignment with truth, to become ever more good in your nature, to radiate that spiritual beauty that will minister to the souls of all in your life. This I perceive to be even more important than an interval of time of meditation, for when you do -- as you will -- enter into an experience of Paradise, it will be a fully encompassing experience of embrace. The intervals of engagement and release will no longer be; the practice will have disappeared, and your presence will be what your practice sought. - [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2003-08-31-The_Presentation_of_Stillness#Stillness Lantarnek]
