Stacking the Deck

I looked around and there within I did see.
It was love's eyes and they were smiling at me.
At a moments notice taken by surprise,
a connection was made, and unity realized.

I knew a gentleman and worked with him everyday. He had just lost his wife about a year ago and was despondent most of the time. It wasn't anything specific just a general malaise. He complained some but generally was quiet in his suffering. One day he found out he had cancer. He was even more upset because he thought he was going to die. He went to an oncologist and reported that the doctor had high hopes for him and that with the proper treatment they could beat this thing. Gradually his mood changed from his usual despondency to someone who wanted very much to share and to live in joy. He smiled alot more and joked with everyone. He even spoke about his family which he rarely did. During lunch one day I began talking about time and how swiftly the days were going.
I then told him that musical time was the only real time. Musical time was where we are able to feel good about each other and our families. Clock time didn't mean a thing. You know what? He was ready to listen to me. He agreed with a big smile on his face even when I began to talk about what was going on inside and that it was more important to have the right attitude inside. Again he agreed whole heartedly and spoke about meditation. In that moment I knew he would be fine. He used to think that life was stacked against him and now he realizes that the only stacking that is ever done is what we tell ourselves within on a daily basis. Once that is stopped, then life can flow. He had not had the opportunity to look at life as something to be cherished not only in himself but in those around him. Now he can't get enough of either.

  • Expand your mind. Be open to the spontaneous awareness. Let go of time and the lingering thought impressions left by time.
    Start anew in each moment. Expect to build upon the influx of energy which results. Draw from the highest source. Yes. Reach up. Know that the background of your awakening is continually spreading its possibilities before you. Reach inside of the place of your envisioning.
  • Feel yourself with Joy. Remember the feeling. Bring it forth from within. Cultivate it. Act it out. Express it everyway you can.

    Beyond Thought

         It would seem to be an impossible job to describe the mechanics and the dynamics of the thought process. How could you obtain the objectivity? What distance would be far enough away or close enough for that matter not to be colored by the very thing you were trying to describe. What if however you discoverd during the process of researching your vantage point that there was something else. Something so unexpected that it allowed you to become an observer of thought. It made for an entryway to an other than thought type of place, that was perfectly able to not only to follow your thoughts and their destinations, but to also predict their flow into the forms that you see all around you. This place that is other than thought, I call it the spontaneous awareness. It is only born in the moment and then again into each moment. There are no adherents or after effects of this awareness

    Eternity

    You remain that which you have always been. In everywhere that you are operate from the inside out. It is along this line of direction that all things take place. It is will, the subtle force that brings forth they vision. I become what I am by recognizing the totality of all that is. It is the sense of certainty within that produces the will without. Certainty is both the driver and the chariot of will. Every action is to increase certainty. Expectation is the golden sunrise of certainty. More has been accomplished with "I can do this" than can be imagined. It is therefore this that must be done.
    Arrange the mind and all of its adherents into the flow of certainty in the following manner.

    Look to the future as though it already is. In this way remove time as a barrier or even a consideration.

    Bring your mind to focus on "this is already done."

    You can replace the location where you are coming from by translocating it presence. In this way operations may be carried forth from the ensuing awareness which accepts completely the "already done aspect of now."

    Agreement then is automatic. Affirmation follows agreement.

    Define your focus for who you are. It is from this sense of being that emanates the divine will.

    Know who you are and that "you are exactly as God created you."(A Course In Miracles)

    Wisdom is experienced. It isn't bought, won, or exchanged. There is no self esteem in Wisdom. If you are jealous of Wisdom she will flee from you. If you try and hold her by force she will never by taken in this way. Wisdom is given when you let go completely and face the Eternal knowing nothing and being open to the unknown. Wisdom is there regardless of your understanding or another's to explain it to you. No one can give you wisdom unless you first open up your heart. You get it when you give to everything, all that you have. Then there is Wisdom

    Would you therefore blame Wisdom for lack of understanding? If you don't get it, does it mean it doesn't exist or that there is nothing to get. This would be true in a contracting universe filled with entropy. In our expanding universe however this is not the case. If you don't get it, try again until you do. Stop and listen and silence the internal chatter. Then and only then do you get to feel wisdom even before you know her. She is to be courted don't you know not stormed in upon.

    Immortality

    Immortality is not something to be attained. It is here now. The realization of timelessness throughout the unknown unlimited multiverse. There are unlimited dimensions-unlimited "earths". With Immortality comes the ability to transcend the dimensions. There are signs everywhere throughout the cosmos.
    "Your table is ready sir. I can seat you now."
    On the menu in front of you, is every kind of experience.
    "Tonight our specials include a six day stay in the Garden of Eden, a tour of Vahalla, including the thunderbolt toss with Thor. Or you could partake of our salad bar where you can have a little of each making it up as you go along."
