Keep Letting Go
Again, this morning, let go of any story in your mind; however, it manifests in yourself as a separate being. Observe the thoughts you have that take you backwards, searching for causal answers to any current discomfort, even if it is very subtle, or forwards, comparing yourself to others, creating stories of us and them in the world and worrying about your prospects. See how these thoughts take you away from the present and seek happiness somewhere else.
Ignore their content as it is unreal. They are not there for that reason. See their characteristics of personifying yourself as part of an alarm bell system to remind you that you are not present. This means you are not at one and at peace with your true “Natural” Self that is the ever-present backdrop to all your experiences. Remember, in reality; there is only the present moment.
You have never lived in the past or the future except in your imagination. You cannot go there – ever! If you get sucked into their story as you try to know intellectually what is going on in an attempt to control life, you will become anxious, feel guilty, depressed, or even worse. The alarm bell of unpleasant emotions gets louder to help remind you to let go and de-focus your attention, and become aware of the infinite, not knowing that is your essential nature. The infinite not knowing is the “Natural” Self, the ever-present, unchanging background to all your experiences. Bring this background into the foreground of your life. Allow the feeling of peace and love and harmony that arises to imbue your perceptions, thoughts, sensations, communications, relations, and actions.
This condition allows the interesting creative thoughts to become heard as they shine with light rather than darkness. See that these thoughts are always constructive, loving, respectful, build safety, pleasure, creativity, freedom, relationships, community, meaning, inspiration, beauty, courage and all that feels positive. They naturally help ensure your needs and give your positive visions that shine with happiness. There is no sense of limitation to these thoughts as there were to the worrisome thoughts arising from believing yourself to be separate. These positive thoughts are creation unfolds its love, truth and beauty.
