Lesson

Today I desire to teach you a lesson on Stillness. (The word is capitalized due to its importance.) It is not just the Stillness of your prayers. If you would sit awhile longer in a prayerful attitude, I would get a chance to give you an answer. Here lies the problem for you as humans; when you pray for ‘something,’ you never sit still for long enough to listen and hear an answer. This is the reason why it is so difficult to ‘hear’ because you don’t train yourself in this as you are too beset with the busy-ness of life. Life would become so much easier if you would develop a calm demeanor, which, again, you can only develop in the Stillness of your heart.

Many hearts are becoming dis-eased because they are not at ease, but full of unrest. A restless heart lets you know that something is not quite right in the arena of emotional thought. The causes are often unresolved grief, unforgiveness, hurts, real or imagined, anger, bitterness, jealousy, feelings of helplessness and more. The heart never attacks but the cause of an attack is set in motion by the humans themselves. Of course the lack of sound, basic and adequate nutrition consisting of living foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds in their natural state can not be overlooked.

However, the main reason is still the restlessness within, a negative thought-stream, which finds itself expressed somewhere in the body as a maladjustment. Oh yes, I note your thinking: ‘What about genetics, don’t they play a role?’ Of course they do, but here again, even the DNA is be-influenced either favorably or unfavorable by the thinking pattern of the individual. Remember the phrase, ‘the sins of the parents are visited upon their children.’ Therefore, a negative attitude towards life does have its repercussions in offspring down the line. Similarly, when much fear is being inhaled by every breath the human takes, it will sooner or later have its repercussions.

The human psyche is very complex, but it is the attitude of the owner which influences this. You can now see, where I am going with the subject of Stillness. The younger a child is being taught to meditate, the sooner the habits are formed for a healthier life; a less stressful life, because it has learned to go into the Silence of its own inner heart-chamber to connect up with the Source of its being. And so the child develops a faith and trust in a benevolent Creator. Would that humans everywhere could make an effort to take time out from their stressful lives, and sit in a prayerfull attitude with an inner ear poised to ’hear’ an answer from their own Still Small Voice!

This would lead to a calmer demeanor as they learn to carry the Stillness as their auric energy field about them, become less frazzled, and the whole mental, emotional and physical system would then benefit by the cultivation of the spiritual part of themselves.

Lesson

I Am that Spark of Light, that desires to speak to you more clearly. It seems so very difficult for mortals to still their minds so they can ‘hear’ a Voice that is immortal, and then it is so natural to disbelief that this is possible for one to hear this Voice. Thus, these very first faint beginnings are dismissed and a ‘door’ gets closed, mainly due to fear and unbelief. I tell you right now, dear one, that many doors get closed through unbelief and the disbelief that such is possible, especially when one has not gone through this experience, and yet you know, unmistakably even now, as these words form in your mind and you write them down.

I Am that Point of incredible stillness, that void of nothingness in which yet everything exists and becomes possible, because with God, all things are possible, and I Am a part of God. Can you grasp this stupendous fact that there is a Spark of God living within you? Ponder this, so you will more often desire to spend more time with Me in this healing Stillness where God and mortal companion each other, where all worries and stress fall into nothingness. Here calmness reigns, ‘frazzled nerves’ get a chance to ‘untangle’ themselves, and the soul gets nurtured into a greater growth. When you leave this Stillness you are ready to do yet another day’s battle in your daily life, but somehow everything seems a lot calmer, because your mind has become clearer, and you can serve your brothers and sisters with a greater love in your heart, as you are beginning to have a clearer connection with Me and an increasing faith and trust in the rightness and the assurance that you are not going insane, because you are learning to listen to a Voice.

I even try to speak to those who do not, or will not, listen. Each so-called normal mind has a Spark of God within them. Those who do not know are better off than those who do know, but will not take the time and learn to listen to their own inner Voice, and even deride others, who do. It is a totally individual endeavor, which each can experience for themselves. Those lives are blessed who dare to believe that there is Someone greater than themselves living within them. Of course they may feel inadequate and unsure at first to hear Me clearly. It does take consistent practice and a daily dedication on their part to take time for Stillness. However, of one thing they can always be certain; I Am there, waiting for them, even though I may not speak and yet they will feel nurtured and peaceful as My deep peace pervades them.

Become more mindful of My Presence in your daily comings and goings. For God is good, all the time, and there is nothing to fear about God.
