Stand still, be quiet.

 

“Behold, now, let my heart tell You what it was seeking there, that I should be gratuitously wanton, having no inducement to evil but the evil itself. It was foul, and I loved it. I loved to perish. I loved my own error— not that for which I erred, but the error itself. Base soul, falling from Your firmament to utter destruction— not seeking anything through the shame but the shame itself!" ~ Augustine of Hippo

“James 2:14-17 reads,

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,’ and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead,”

The belief that a man has a higher and a lower self and that these two selves can go apart and one ascend to heaven, and the other descend to earth, is opposed to the law of unity. Malinda Cramer

 

Keep remembering to just ask, ok,

where do I go,

who do I talk to,

what do I say,

what is the role for me  today.

“Life is very beautiful. The world is very beautiful. And relationships are very beautiful because they are with your Self.” SRI H.W.L. Poonja



You can use the following statement of oneness and will find it helpful —"I am open on my inner or spiritual side to the inexhaustible ocean of Divine Power. I flow forth from it and am one with it as a bay is one with the ocean, or as a ray of light is one with the sun." "New Thought Healing Made Plain." Kate Atkinson Boehme1918

 

“The closer you come to knowing that you alone create the world of your experience, the more vital it becomes for you to discover just who is doing the creating.”Eric Micha’el Leventhal

"Truth is not a reward for good behaviour, nor a prize for passing some tests. It cannot be brought about. It is the primary, the unborn, the ancient source of all that is. You are eligible because you are. You need not merit truth. It is your own....Stand still, be quiet." ~ Nisargadatta
