We Are Human Angels, the book
If you intend to be of assistance, your eye is not upon the trouble but
upon the assistance, and that is quite different. When you are looking
for a solution, you are feeling positive emotion— but when you are looking at a problem, you are feeling negative emotion.
--- Abraham
The
moment I try to think a thought, even of Truth of The Infinite Way, I
am trying to make thought a power; I am trying to make a statement of
Truth a power. No statement or thought of Truth is God-power. Only God
is God-power. So if you want God, be still and LET God function.
Otherwise, you are letting your ego in. What is worse, you are making
graven images. Whether you build a wooden image and make it God-power or
whether you put together a sentence and call it God-power or whether
you take a thought and make it God-power, there is no difference. They
are all graven images made by man. The only thing that is not made by
man is what functions through man in the silence. That, man has nothing
to do with.
Any thought of God that is in your mind is a
thought you created, and it is a graven image. Any word of God that is
in your mind is a word you created. It is therefore a graven image. You
must be absent from thought. Then whatever God is, and however It
functions, takes place out there, and it is a miracle to human sense.
But it is not a miracle that I performed, because this power is not
mine. It is God’s, and the more I refrain from thought and become a
receptivity, the greater the Presence and Power comes through.
So, when I am asked for help, no matter what I am doing, all thought
immediately stops, and whatever comes through is the Presence and Power
of God, which does the work.
Living by Grace
“That
was it… it was gone. There was no more ‘me’ observing anything. There
was only existence shining with intense radiance, clarity, precision…
but no one present to observe it. No one existing that could ever know
all of this… there never was anybody to ever know this. ‘I’ was not
knowing it…there was no ‘I’ to know anything. There never is a person, a
being, or a life form, either here or on any planet, that has ever
known the universe exists. The universe exists without an observer.
This was the nature of reality that I came to know. But truly, ‘I’ did
not come to know anything. And I realized at the moment of this
recognition that I had always known this… THIS is always the way it has
been. How could I have not seen this? And yet, I had always seen it… it
had always been there. This is the paradox of awakening… that in the
moment of knowing it, it has always been known.”
