Go within to find the peace you seek.
As attachments to the world, to others, to yourself, fade, they will drift away and you will be still within yourself. You find that this is the state of being from which you view everything, a point of contact with the Truth or God which anchors you and fills the space that is you.
Thoughts and feelings come and go and you may be caught in them for a moment but then you remember, recalling who you truly are.
To be in this state of being, grounded within yourself and the universe, is the most natural state of all. It is just beingness and it is very alive. It is not about your perceptions or thoughts, your feelings or ideas. It is a state beyond consciousness but where you are fully conscious. You need not lose yourself in this since there is no self to lose anyway. It is more a true way of being at all times that you can remember. And as you remember it more, the peace and quiet of this state is with you always.
Allow for now the violence of emotional storms to rage, if they must, but know that they need not. There is no longer a need for these feelings to be anything else but a breeze upon the still water, creating a ripple here and there but not disturbing the deep.
Allow that deep stillness to arise no matter what outward circumstance there is. Then there is no thinking, no words, no doing, not even being. ‘Just being’ is much overrated.
There is only Oneness and understanding of all. All the human frailties of oneself and others, which are false and yet so believed.
Sometimes when I sit with another there are no further words to say and so we just are. They come to me for many things – words, advice, prescriptions, obligation – but in the end it is just two people being. As I sit there, writing my note in the hospital computer record, asking the same questions I ask of everyone, I am just being there with the other, being one with all the others and I am fully aware in my consciousness that this is all that is really going on, That is my only purpose. The words that come do not matter much, it is the emanation of light that we all experience which is the Oneness of everything. And for that moment they are at peace. And so am I.
