Notes of August: Alignment is All (T)Here Is.

"Tunglsfljót"

I will be gradually transferring many of my years of private notes — kept on some other electronic devices — to this blog, which hopefully will survive long after I transition, whenever that may be. The main reason is to make it available to that intrepid explorer who saunters through the wild of the Internet in search of rare creatures, and as a reward for their perseverance. These notes are polished only to certain degrees. Whoever else stumbles upon them can continue to polish if they so desire. "Live Long and Prosper."

"From now onwards let your whole thought in meditation to be not on the act of seeing nor on what you see, but immovably on That (This) Which Sees."

~ Frank Humphries/AG ~  

Be still and know that I am God at work in this situation now.

Unconditional Alignment.

First, Foremost, Now and Always: Alignment is All (T)Here Is. Awareness of Alignment. In the spiritual life, we are always at the beginning.

Be still, and know that I am God.

[“Free” - from PIE *priy-a- "dear, beloved," from root *pri- "to love."]

Freedom is not merely the absence of restraint but a state of belonging and love, rooted in correspondence. True spiritual freedom, then, is realized not in isolation but in empathic communion and communing with Source, which is also one’s Spirit.

“These are the two golden rules regarding concentration; but we must not suppose that because we have to be on our guard against idle drifting there is to be no such thing as repose; on the contrary it is during periods of repose that we accumulate strength for action; but repose does not mean a state of purposelessness. As pure spirit the subjective mind never rests: it is only the objective mind in its connection with the physical body that needs rest; and though there are no doubt times when the greatest possible rest is to be obtained by stopping the action of our conscious thought altogether, the more generally advisable method is by changing the direction of the thought and, instead of centering it upon something we intend to do, letting it dwell quietly upon what we are. (I Am).This direction of thought might, of course, develop into the deepest philosophical speculation, but it is not necessary that we should be always either consciously projecting our forces to produce some external effect or working out the details of some metaphysical problem; but we may simply realize ourselves as part of the universal livingness and thus gain a quiet centralization, which, though maintained by a conscious act of the volition, is the very essence of rest. (I rest in God.) From this standpoint we see that all is Life and all is Good, and that Nature, from her clearly visible surface to her most arcane depths, is one vast storehouse of life and good entirely devoted to our individual use. We have the (golden) key to all her treasures, and we can now apply our knowledge of the law of being without entering into all those details which are only needed for purposes of study, and doing so we find it results in our having acquired the consciousness of our oneness with the whole. This is the great secret: and when we have once fathomed it we can enjoy our possession of the whole, or of any part of it, because by our recognition we have made it, and can increasingly make it, our own.

“He realizes--and this is the great point in that attitude of mind which is not directed to any specific external object--that, for himself, he is, and always must be the centre of all this galaxy of Life, and thus he contemplates himself as seated at the centre of infinitude, not an infinitude of blank space, but pulsating with living being, in all of which he knows that the true essence is nothing but good. This is the very opposite to a selfish self-centredness; it, is the centre where we find that we both receive from all and flow out to all.”

Thomas Troward/AG
 (This is also the correct approach to initiating a Golden Key - AG)

There is only one Life. This Life is Source‘s Life. This Life is perfect. This Life is my Life now. I am always in the presence of God. The presence of God is always in me.
