SearchWhen will this thirst end?
Question:
Lots of miracles keep occurring. But yet there are times like this morning when one gets bogged down by others' reactions to these miracles. This morning one was besieged by these thoughts. One lay down, contemplated on the Self, prayed, called on the Holy Spirit, said one's mantras and the "fight" seemed endless. Now several hours later some easiness has set in. But still one feels that this is not enough—why all this avoiding when one wants it so badly? When will this thirst end?
Answer:
Thanks for pouring out your heart and for your devotion to Awakening. The thirst for the remembrance of Self and God is what seems to propel the search, the quest. It is the Call to remember What is Forever True. The thirst ends in the experience of the Answer within, and this is experienced as it becomes obvious there is nothing of this world to hold on to or desire.
Nothing.
No thing.
No concept.
No belief.
No want.
No need.
No time.
Truth is approached through negation. Look directly at everything that Truth is not, and what remains constant is the Truth that Is.
The invulnerability of Christ rests in the willingness to align only with real thoughts and the Holy Spirit's Perspective. What seems to be "others' reactions" are doubt thoughts which seem to veil the Face of Christ. You are the One. Mind is One. There can be no "self" and "other" in a mind unified through forgiveness. Mind is unified and cannot meaningfully be broken into separate parts.
Surrender is the Answer.
It is impossible to let go of "something" that was never there.
Now is All.
Love,
David
