If you must think, Grace is not a gift from God to undeserving mortals, but a flow of divine laws that are as powerful as your desire to heal yourself. So learn to effortlessly enter ecstasy. Discover that all inner tension is a message to let go of something easily and immediately. Relax, enjoy, and feel—deeply. Every emotion is a doorway into a magical awakening. Harmony sings in simple moments. Nature whispers wonder. Love weaves a web of trust and silence, dissolving struggle into surrender. Surrender to the small impulses of your feet wanting to walk down a particular street, your hands innocently wanting to heal someone, the lightness of your Heart choosing foods that keep you light and free. Scientific serendipity is trusting that everything that happens to you is perfect. Perfect trust is perfect freedom. Your body is a divine dowsing instrument leading you to discover the Water of Life forever flowing through you. Move through your days connected to the pleasure of your body and the joy of the Heart. Pleasure is always waiting to ascend into bliss. Effortless Awareness The personality resists effortless growth. Thus, the higher self must use drastic measures. Instead of leaving a job that holds us back, we stay stuck in fear (the root chakra, Week 6). We manifest a car accident or a crisis that forces us to move in the right direction. Pain becomes our only inspiration. Eventually, we listen to our inner voice and learn the easy way (Weeks 40-42). Effortless awareness is the key. The less we struggle with ego, the more energy ascends. The more we let go, the more we let God (our higher self) guide us in grace. Most people, upon seeing bright white light for the first few times, become immediately excited or overwhelmed by this purer love, and run back into the comfort of darkness. If, during meditation, we put all of our attention on the One who is meditating, then we become the light of awareness. We see that awareness is effortlessly awake, that awareness needs no support from the mind, and that only awareness creates more awareness. Thus, the more we allow ourselves to rest in the Self, the more we can accept and transform our demons. The more we feel, the more we become; the more easily energy ascends from feeling into divine feeling—light. When we sit at the threshold, the ego keeps the doorway closed by expectations of what the Unknown is. If we let go of expectation, we discover soul strength. We wait in a humbled, timeless state--so the kundalini easily ascends. When we least expect, "like a thief in the night," light bursts brightly. The challenge is to practice this paradoxical merging process in our everyday world. For example, instead of pushing away every person with whom we are experiencing tension, we do all that we can to include them. And when we dearly love someone, we practice freeing them. We discover that all dualities exist in our mind. Thus, when we sit in the dungeon of darkness we do not demand light; and when light comes we do not immediately try to possess it. |
