You Are Invited To Participate

It’s been years since Absolutely Yours has called for an “All-Hands-On-Deck” project. I think that now is a good time to invite you (and every other reader) to participate in this 30-Day I-Am-Already-Enlightened Prayer Project.

The Foundation Of This Project

Reader, you are sincere about God being All. You are sincere about honoring your God Identity, and you are sincere about experiencing the kingdom of heaven now (in this lifetime). If these are false assumptions about yourself, stop reading this post.

If you made it to this sentence, I can safely assume that you frequently contemplate God’s Allness. Perhaps you sit in short (or long) periods of silence listening for the “still small voice.” This is good, but this “Project” is going to tweak what you are already doing. Read on!

Starting With God’s Allness

Starting from God’s Allness as your base point, you have to agree that God is the only Mind or Awareness. And, don’t you agree that this Mind is not seeking more Light, but is the Light Itself? Aren’t you included in this Awareness? Let me rephrase that. Isn’t this infinite, omnipresent Awareness, that is Light Itself, the very I that you are? Please answer me.

The Inevitable Conclusion

This means that right now – right as you read this post, you are totally and completely enlightened. You are not a seeker after the Light, but rather, you are the Light Itself. Reader, if you were not completely enlightened (or illumined) right now, God would not be All.

Before we get to the “Project,” there’s one more question. Do you contemplate Truth and sit in silences hoping to be more enlightened? Do you hope for Illumination? It’s okay if your answer is “yes,” but you must be aware of the implications.

Hoping for more enlightenment and Illumination is starting from the false premise that you are a seeker after the Light rather than the Light Itself. Reader, nothing good can come from a false premise. It’s time to get back on track. I promise you that nothing but good can come from this “Project.”

Starting The Prayer Project With The Tweak

Starting on February 1, I am asking you (and all readers) to contemplate the following idea (not necessarily the exact words) for 30 days.

As God is All, and all that I AM, I am totally illumined and enlightened right now and always. I am the Light Itself. I am Illumination Itself. I AM the full understanding of Truth, for I am Truth Itself.

Feel free to change the words to suit what works for you, but keep the same basic ideas. Follow this with a period of silence – [here’s The Tweak] not seeking the Light, but being the Light. Let your Consciousness surge and soar as Infinite Awareness.

The Challenge goes through March 1, 2016. After the 30 days are over, please write and let me know about your experience.

The Way Out of Grief, Sadness, and Depression

smile happy looks good on you

Grief Is Unbearable Because …

Somehow the subject of death popped up in the conversation. Responding to the man sitting next to me, I said, “Should a loved one appear to die, the first thing I’d do is call a Practitioner.” A woman sitting at the other end of the table said, “It’s a little late for that, isn’t it?” Without a moment’s hesitation I said, “No! The seeming loss is bad enough, but the grief would be unbearable.”

Grief is unbearable because it is not a natural state of Mind (God). Mind’s natural state is unfettered revelry in Its unchallenged and unopposed Allness.

Reader, answer these questions:

  • Can you steadfastly be aware of Perfection’s unopposed Allness and entertain one moment of grief?
  • Can you bask in the awareness of Love’s boundless Allness and be sad?
  • Is it possible for you to dwell in the awareness of uninterrupted Completeness and be depressed?

Your Mind’s Natural State

Mind, the Mind you are, is this constant awareness of Perfection, Love and Completeness. This is “your” Mind’s natural state. Connect the dots and you clearly behold this fact: Joy is the natural state of the Mind that you are.

The bleak greyness of grief is like a millstone around the neck of joy, drowning it in a sea of sadness. And, sometimes the pull of grief seems inescapable. Many people ask, “Allen, don’t you think there are times when grief is justified? After all, even psychologists talk about the stages of grief.”

What Do The Psychologists Know

Reader, perhaps you have asked the same question. But ask yourself this, “What mind are the psychologists talking about? Aren’t they talking about a mind that is conditioned by appearances and the drama of human experience? Are they knowing the Unconditioned Mind that is God?” Again, connect the dots: If psychologists are not talking about the Mind that is God, are they talking about any mind at all?

In the stillness of prayer, you have known times when you experienced a realization of God’s Allness. You experienced a deep peace, didn’t you? And there was joy too, wasn’t there? Many times you experienced one or both. Peace (and/or joy) always accompanies revelation.

Reader, have you ever realized God’s Allness and experienced sadness? How about grief? I’m sure your answer is “No!” Why not? Because peace and joy are natural states of Mind. Sadness and grief are not.

This Always Works For Me (It’ll Work For You)

Whenever I’m feeling a little down (which is not that often), I do this one thing and it always works. I pray. My prayer is just for greater realization of the I AM that I AM. I’m not praying to feel better. I’m praying for a grander realization.

If the first prayer doesn’t reveal the I AM, I pray again. I repeat this every fifteen minutes until I realize more of this I AM Presence. At some point Truth is revealed. God is experienced. A joy takes over my entire being, and I realize I am Joy.

After the first time I did this, I understood the full implication of the experience. I understood that Joy is the natural state of Mind. I perceived that sadness, depression, and grief are unnatural (unreal) states of Mind.

Don’t Do It

Reader, don’t accept grief. Don’t accept depression. Don’t accept sadness. JOY IS YOUR NATURAL STATE OF MIND AND YOUR NATURAL WAY OF BEING.

The New Year You Should Be Celebrating

be happy now

This excerpt is from the Monthly Letters of Alfred Aiken.

Do not “begin” this new year by making yourself all sorts of promises as to what you will, or will not do. Rather, treat it as any other “day,” by stating the WHOLENESS OF LOVE, THE SINGLENESS OF INFINITY, THE ENTIRETY OF THE ONE ALONE OMNIPRESENT EXISTENCE HERE-NOW-IN-ITS-UNCHALLENGED FULNESS!

Yes, we are entering a new year, according to the “passage of time,” but only there. NOW cannot pass, any more than it can come. NOW IS, and this is the accurate definition of CHANGELESS ETERNITY, IMMORTALITY, ALLNESS TOTALLY FUNCTIONING AS THE SOLE AWARENESS-THAT-IS-INDIVIDUAL-I. To this ONE OMNIPOTENT WISDOM there is no smaller “I”, no greater, or other, “I.” There is but ONE ABSOLUTE EXISTENCE, AWARENESS, MIND ALIVENESS, CONSCIOUSNESS being!

Where does this leave “matter,” and all that is based on the atom, on “construction,” on time, on duality, multiplicity, age, decay, fertility, fertilizer, or the need for death as an adjunct to life? It leaves it just where it belongs, namely, wholly alone

This is the NEW YEAR you should be celebrating. How? BY BEING THE ONE YOU BE, or, in other words, discontinue your fight against being the ONE YOU ETERNALLY AM! Stop trying to “bring perfection about,” but rather behold that SPIRIT IS SINGLE, AND THERE IS NOTHING OPPOSING OR CHALLENGING TRUTH, THE SELF.

SPIRIT IS WHO AND WHAT YOU BE, AND THERE IS NO SECOND “YOU’ AT ALL. THERE IS ONLY THIS ONE, AND IT IS PERFECT NOW, AND KNOWS IT. THIS LEAVES NO OTHER MIND AT ALL, HENCE NO OTHER TO KNOW, OR THAT NEEDS TO KNOW… THE ONE THAT IS, I, KNOWS! THE ONE THAT IS, IS, NOW. THIS IS THE NEW YEAR, NEVER REPEATING ITSELF – THIS IS THE FOREVER “NEW” NOW, NEVER “REPEATING,” OR DUPLICATING ITSELF.
