In the moment of awakening you will realize a sudden hush as you leave the hustle and bustle of the ‘world’ which suddenly drops behind you. It is as if a door shuts to that world of noisy confusion, where the stock market sounds its bell and the floor vies for the highest bidder, where competition is the order of the day, and the dog-eat-dog system steps on the back of its neighbor calling it a ladder of success. The door closes, the top to the coffin drops, on the ‘worlds’ of the systems of men: religious, economic, political, medical, etc. And there is a sudden rush of pure Silence!
form as on a movie screen as it goes and comes and I direct the whole thing from my extreme vantage point.
head! It is high time that we rise out of the darkness of our ignorance!
God is ALL IN ALL. ONE.
You have simply forgotten What you are!
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know!
Be very still.
You will know!
I and my Father are One!
God in a Box
Jane Woodward
Lesson 47- It is not my own strength through which I forgive. It is through the strength of God in me, which I am remembering as I forgive. As I begin to see, I recognize His reflection on earth. I forgive all things because I feel the stirring of His strength in me. And I begin to remember the Love I chose to forget, but which has not forgotten me. ACIM
[1] How to Know When You Have Truth
That's easy. If you have been healed, whether of physical afflictions or mental disturbance or domestic in harmony or business perplexities, or worry, doubt, fear or anything, all is well.
One person gets his healing from a Christian Scientist. Another gets his healing from a Psychologist and someone else gets his healing from another mental practitioner, but if you are healed, there can be nothing but truth in that particular mental science which you have taken hold of--for you!
How To Put The Subconscious Mind To Work
By David V Bush (1924)
Bush didn’t mention that THAT TRUTH is Divinty/God in relation to your beliefs.
And I am the cause of the undoing of that distress and dis-ease."
That doesn't mean you stop using external agents. You continue. But you realize you still have work to do. You start to recognize that you are as God created you. And you start to go within and ask "What is this distress or dis-ease telling me". And you start to see through the eyes of Spirit, rather than the eyes of the body (the Ego).
One begins to realize something of the experiences of the saints and mystics down the ages, in that they found they had to become still, to meditate, which really means to become still in God’s Presence and let God do what He wants to do. To become still, in a recognition that you have become still in the Almighty Presence of the Great Father, and that because you are not preventing Him by resistance, by lack of faith, by worries and fears and tensions, He now naturally manifests His Will, His Peace, and His Perfection throughout your being, as you allow Him to take charge of your mind and soul and body.
This meditation, this being still in God, is a fundamental. And yet, even amongst Christians, there isn’t one in ten thousand who seriously practices meditation as a fundamental need of the Christian Way of Life. We talk our way to God - yes - in many prayers. We try to understand the infinite by definition. We listen to dogma and creed, and often great philosophies concerning God. But very seldom do we close down our thinking and say, "Here Lord. Here am I. Take me as I am. You know what to do with me, Father. Do it. I am here." And to be still, receptive and listening to all that God will pour forth. It can only happen when we become absolutely convinced that the Great Father will do these things in the Silence. It can only happen when we are absolutely sure that the greatest activity that can ever happen in a human being comes when we become still and stop doing ourselves.
From "The Healing Silence by Brother Mandus
