The Burning Bush

 

The following is a reprint of an article titled The Burning Bush by Marie Watts.

“Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father-in-law … and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.

And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt (Exodus 3:1-3).”

Perhaps there is no episode in the Bible that is more fraught with spiritual significance as is the foregoing experience of Moses and the burning bush that did not burn.

The fire was the signal to attract the attention of Moses. Although the fire appeared to be a destructive presence, it was really a signal signifying the presence of God. The fire, destructive element, was not real. It had no actual existence. But God, signified by the fire, was and is genuine.

“And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, here am I. And he said, Draw not night hither, put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground (Exodus 3:4-5).”

Right where the destructive appearance of the fire seemed to be, there was God. The “holy ground” upon which Moses stood was the whole, absolute, pure Truth. Holy Ground denotes the Substance that is God and God alone.

The bush symbolizes the eternal, immutable, indestructible Substance which is the only Substance in existence. It represents the Substance of you and everyone.

The indestructible, imperishable, eternal Substance which constitutes your Body and mine is never penetrated or invaded by any destructive appearance. No matter how threatening some false evidence may seem to be or how real it may seem, the Substance of the Body remains immune to and untouched by the fallacious evidence.

It is always false evidence. This means that it is not evidence of anything real. Actually, it is evidence of “nothing” or “no thing,” thus it is no evidence at all. When we know, really know, the nature of all Substance, we are no longer deceived by fallacious evidence. We cannot fear it. We just know, and nothing can convince us that there is any substance other than God being that Substance.

False evidence cannot deceive or disturb anyone who knows that which is true. One who knows, and knows that he knows, never seeks to find a cause for fallacious evidence. He never asks, “Why did this happen to me?” or “What is the cause of this?” He is wholly and completely convinced of the nothingness of an imperfect appearance, and he is concerned only with the genuine and only Substance and activity which does exist.

There is no false evidence. The only thing false about any evidence is our misinterpretation of that which is already perfect, right here and now. For the purpose of clarity, we do speak of false evidence. But don’t be deceived. The only evidence in existence is perfect evidence. It has to be perfect because God is all there is to be evidenced.

Always remember, “The place whereon thou standest is holy ground.” Right where you are, there is God and God alone. But this is not all. God is what you are. Your Body cannot be left out of what you are. If something should appear that seems to be evil, be assured that it cannot be what it seems to be. Rightly perceived, it is but a signal, drawing your attention to the Good, God, that is the entirety of your Being and Body.

I Forgive

A few months ago, I promised to write a post on forgiveness. Here it is. Before you bite into the meat (or beetroot if you’re vegan) of this post, let’s lay the foundation for forgiveness.

Undergirding every act of forgiveness is Love, but we can’t stop there. God is Love, which means God is the foundation of every thought, word, and act of forgiveness. But, what is Love? Love is Oneness without otherness. This is the Substance of true forgiveness.

“Forgive” and “forgiveness” are mentioned in the Holy Bible 66 times (combined). That’s enough for you to know it’s important. Christ left only one model prayer – the Lord’s Prayer. Forgiveness is included in that prayer: “Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” The open-hearted willingness to forgive is a sign of spiritual maturity.

I will continue this post in question and answer format, divided into two parts. I believe this is the best way to approach this topic. Some answers you may not agree with. Should that be the case, ask yourself these two questions:

  • What is it I believe here?
  • Is what I believe consistent with God being the only Presence or have I introduced another presence?

Can I really forgive and forget?

Don’t hesitate to forgive because you think forgetting is required. Some hurts seem like footprints in concrete – they just won’t go away. However, they are not as permanent as they seem, so don’t put off forgiving until a later day. Most often, that day never comes.

Forget about forgetting. Once you take care of forgiving (in the right way), the forgetting will take care of itself.

Why is it so hard to forgive?

The crux of all offenses, and the need to forgive them, is duality – a belief in otherness. The reason people find it hard to forgive is because they begin by trying to forgive the offender rather than the offending belief in otherness.

Oneness is the solution. First contemplate your Oneness with God; follow that by contemplating the offender’s Oneness with God. Finally, contemplate your Oneness with the so-called offender. (In your contemplation, remember God is both Infinite and Indivisible.)

What is forgiveness, and why is it so important?

Sadness, anger, dislike, and hatred are emotional states. Forgiveness does not tarry in human emotions.

It’s true that once you’ve forgiven someone, you do feel an emotional uplift – something akin to euphoria, but it’s not because of the forgiveness. It’s because you dropped a burdensome weight you had no business carrying. You’re free and you know it.

Let’s return to our spiritual starting point: God is the only Presence and Power. Turn your attention to the word “only.” Sit with it a few seconds and you will be reminded that there is nothing besides God.

True living is a life of Power – a life impossible to live when you believe something exists other than God. That “other” presence can be a person, or even an activity. To live your best life, God must be All, and All must be God. There is no other way.

Is there someone in your life whom you won’t forgive? Why? Be honest with yourself and acknowledge that it is because you:

  • believe they (or what they did) had power to negatively impact your quality of living.
  • believe they had power to disturb your emotional balance.

Think about what they did and answer these questions: Would God do it? Then, who did it? Did a name pop up? If so, you can see that you believe (or seem to believe) there is a Presence other than God. Duality has sunk many a ship sailing on the sea of Life. Don’t be that ship!

Why is it important to forgive? It has nothing to do with the other person. It has everything to do with honoring God as the only Presence and Power. This is forgiveness.

How do I forgive?

If you are asking this question, you’ve taken the first giant step towards forgiving – the willingness to forgive. Willingness makes the next steps easier. Next month, in Part 2 of this discussion, we will dig deeper.

Shhh!

Joel Said Don’t Tell It

After the publication of my first book, God is All, a flood-tide of speaking opportunities rushed in. One of the first classes was for an Infinite Way group in Fairfax, Virginia. During that class, a woman interrupted to say, “But Joel Goldsmith said you should never tell people your Revelations. He said that you lose God and possibly your demonstration when you share it.”

You could hear the gasps of horror when I said, “Joel must have been drinking when he wrote that. There is no power but God, and God cannot lose Itself.” People left the class confused thinking, “Well, he is right. There is no other power but God, but he’s new on the block. Infinite Way has been around for decades.”

It’s true that Goldsmith wrote and spoke about “spiritual secrecy.” Below are two citations from his book Invisible Supply:

This Is What Joel Wrote

“Secrecy is one of the greatest positive powers ever turned loose in the world. Without secrecy you may as well give up hope of making progress, because the moment you violate spiritual secrecy, you lose God.”

“In the past when we prayed and healings took place or supply was increased, we may have felt that we were doing God a favor by telling all our friends how profitable it was to pray and what good things happened through prayer. Let me tell you that this is the fastest way in the world to lose God!”

Losses Not Worth Losing

Of course you cannot lose God, because God is the Substance of your Identity. Never entertain the idea that you can lose God. You can’t! Nor can you lose the power of your Revelation. God is the only Power.

However, you can lose something else, and for that reason I’m writing this post. You can lose, or seem to lose, credibility and the closeness of friends and family. The less plausible your experiences and Revelations, the wider the gap grows between you and your loved ones.

A man I know once shared a story about an instantaneous demonstration of money (it seemed to appear out of nowhere). The room was silent. Faces twisted into ugly knots of flesh. Credibility was questioned. Although he had many more experiences like that, he learned to keep his mouth shut.

If you are a Lillian DeWaters reader, you may recall the story of how she avoided hitting a car by going through the car. No one was hurt. Can you imagine the looks on the faces of her friends and family when she told that story? Had you been there, what would you think?

If it weren’t for the gossip spreading like wildfire about a miraculous event that happened on the corner, no one would have ever believed her. The story seems freakishly bizarre, but I guarantee that as your awareness of God’s Allness “evolves,” you will have unbelievable Revelations and experiences. So please keep your mouth shut.

You’re Not Alone

By the time you enjoy these intellect-defying Revelations and experiences, the Truth of God’s Allness will mean everything to you. It is more important than eating and breathing. Will you be able to talk to anyone about them? Yes!

Your Consciousness will always provide at least one person who is open and receptive to these experiences. Often that person is enjoying similar experiences and Revelations and has been waiting to meet the right someone to share them with. It is the best partnership possible. This person will be closer than a sibling – nearer and dearer than any family member.

Keep praying. Keep contemplating. Keep hearing the “still small voice.” And keep your mouth shut. You will know when to open it.

Open Vision — Seeing The Invisible

You Think You’ve Seen It All

Bored? Need something new to see and do? You could board a plane and fly to a new and exciting destination. Or, you could take a long drive through the back roads of a nearby state. There are so many things you could do to stave off boredom and see something new.

But there is another way to see exciting new things without even leaving your home. Try a staycation. No, not the typical one where you visit popular or overlooked sites and eateries in your area. Try a spiritual staycation. When done right, a spiritual staycation can be the most exciting thing you’ve ever done. And you can staycate wherever you are.

How many times have you walked through your home? You probably think you’ve seen everything there is to see, but the Truth is you’ve only seen a smidgen of what’s in your home. There’s so much more for you to see.

The Spiritual Staycation Illustrated

In the Holy Bible, there’s a story that illustrates the results of a spiritual staycation. The King of Aram sent his army to capture the prophet Elisha who was hiding in Dothan. Early one morning Elisha’s servant went out for a stretch, and when he looked up, he saw an army with horses and chariots surrounding the city. He cried out to Elisha, “Oh my master, what are we to do?”

Elisha didn’t pray for help. He simply prayed, “Lord, please open his eyes and let him see.” The servant’s eyes were opened to see that they were safe and protected.

With open eyes, Elisha’s servant saw a completely different scene. He stood in the same spot where he first saw danger, but one thing changed. He saw with open vision what he could not see with closed vision.

The Key Point For Seeing The Invisible

Here is the spiritual gist of the story: ALL OF GOD IS EQUALLY PRESENT AT EVERY “POINT” OF THE UNIVERSE.

Where are you right now? Right where you are ALL OF GOD IS PRESENT – not a portion, but all of God. How much are you seeing? Without leaving the spot where you are, there’s so much more to see.

When Elisha prayed for his servant’s eyes to be opened, he prayed for open vision. Open vision sees the seemingly invisible. Open vision sees the fullness of God’s Presence. What appears invisible to human vision is visible to open vision. Yes, open vision is Illumined Vision.

Do you want to experience open vision? The essential requirement is a humble admission that there is more to see than you are presently seeing. That’s all.

God is the Substance of your environment. And God is Infinite, so there’s always plenty to see.

While walking, driving, or just sitting, look around and ask your Self, “What more is there to see here?” By doing so, you’ve opened yourself to see more than seems to be present. Colors may seem more brilliant and intense. Everything may suddenly seem brighter – as if more suns have risen over the horizon.

The people in your environment may display more loving behavior. In a flash, the bodies and objects around you may glow as pure light. Undoubtedly, you will see a better (so-called) human experience. There’s no telling what open vision will reveal. Just know this: There is always more to see.

Open my eyes, that I may see glimpses of truth Thou hast for me;
Place in my hands the wonderful key, that shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I wait for Thee, ready, my God, Thy will to see;
Open my eyes, illumine me, Spirit divine!

Have A Lot Of Problems? Try Praying This Way

One of our readers asked this question: If there are multiple appearances, is the intention to get clarity one at a time or all inclusive?

She Was Drowning In Problems And Didn’t Know How To Pray

The third chapter of my first book, God is All, opens with the story of Alice Ross. Her cheating husband left her with two sick children and a sister strung out on drugs. She’s unemployed and about to lose her home. Her friends tell her, “Don’t worry, just pray about it,” but Alice doesn’t know where to start. She thinks to herself, “I have so many problems, I don’t know what to pray about first.”

Many people seem to be in Alice’s situation. There are so many problems; they don’t know where to start. When they focus their prayers on one situation, the others get worse. In faith, they soldier on, but it seems like a losing battle.

How do you solve this problem? How do you pray when it appears you are drowning in problems?

Don’t Pray About The Wrong Problem

Years ago, I was working on a challenging piece by Chopin. The fingers must move up and down the keyboard at a dizzying speed. There were many challenging sections. I thought the problems were a weak fourth finger, lack of finger independence, and a lazy thumb. I worked for weeks on these problems, but nothing improved.

Frustrated, I sat down at the keyboard to examine my approach more carefully. I made a startling discovery. I had only one problem – wrist rotation. Once I corrected that, I was flying up and down the keyboard faster than a cheetah chasing a gazelle.

The point of this story is that in every case where it seems like you have many problems, you have only one. When you correct the one, you resolve them all. The problem, obviously, is not wrist rotation, but it is THE BARBARIC BELIEF THAT THERE IS A PRESENCE AND POWER OTHER THAN GOD.

When you think you are drowning in a sea of problems, there is only one problem – the belief that there is another presence, power, or activity other than God. Do you want to handle all of your problems with a single prayer? Pray to discern God’s Presence as the entirety of your Life.

Prayer That Gets To The Root Of The Problem

Your prayer could look like this (using your own words, of course): “God let me discern your Presence in and as every area of ‘my’ Life.” You can shorten this by praying, “God, all I want is you. Reveal Thyself.” Just be mindful that you are not addressing a God outside of you.

Never mind the seeming dualism in this prayer. That will be handled with the realization of God’s Presence. Now you may be wondering how often to pray this prayer. The answer is simple: until God reveals Itself in a clear and unmistakable way.

The first time you try this and your problems are resolved, you’ll probably think, “It’s like magic. I didn’t even have to think about my problems and they all disappeared.” From then on, you’ll never have to worry about how many problems you seem to have. All that matters is a clear realization that God is All.

This Is The Freeing Truth

This excerpt is by Lillian DeWaters from The Voice of Revelation

God Here And Now

Where is the Omnipresent God if not right here and now where we are? Why look forward to some other place, time, or plane to find rest, peace, and happiness than now, at hand? Why think of the next plane? Only because of belief and teaching that we are humanity, living now in a temporal, human body.

One Self, One World, One Mind

God does not see us as other beings, other minds. Though we have been taught to believe that we have personal or human minds, and live now in a human or material existence, this teaching and belief has an end. Enlightenment has revealed that there has never been more or other than one Self, one Consciousness, one World, and one Existence.

Be Consistent

There must be no further acceptance of dual belief. For example: To say there is one Mind only is Truth. If you rest your understanding here, you would have Knowledge. If, however, you then proceed to state that the human mind is opposed to God, that the human mind is all that produces pain, that the human mind must rise above the sense of materiality into spiritual understanding, you have directly contradicted your statement of Truth that there is one Mind only.

It is the Truth that our only Being is God; it is the Truth that our only World is within us; it is the Truth that our Consciousness is Christ Illumination. The belief, therefore, that we must develop into our own Self, journey to the perfect World, or accept Revelation as belonging to certain ones in past history has no truth in it.

You are here and now God-Self, God-Being, God-Consciousness, and your Illumination is ever at hand. This true and right Knowledge will bring to an end the wrong teaching that you are a human or mortal, living in a temporal existence, to reach perfection through progressive human footsteps.

Stop The Excuses

There remains now no excuse for double-mindedness, double-vision, and double-talk. When you perceive that you are accepting a teaching that you are humanity; that there are human minds and human bodies, it must be clear to you that you are believing in a separation from God. Thus,automatically, you are identifying yourself with sickness, limitation, trial, and tribulation.

The hour is here now when you should identify yourself with pure Knowledge and right teaching only, for nothing else will ever satisfy.

How To Read A Truth Book — For Maximum Benefit

How Long Does It Take To Read A Truth Book?

Between the ages of 12 and 19, I devoured Truth books. If there is such a thing as Truth-book addiction, I was an addict.

Once I became a minister in the Unity Church, I noticed that most so-called Truth students were also addicts. Some had rooms dedicated to just Truth books. Some could glibly quote passages from Eddy, Fillmore, Goldsmith and the Brooks sisters. However, their lives weren’t matching their lips. For many years I asked, “How can this be?” Later, the question was answered. I made two discoveries:

  1. A Truth book, well read, may take a year or more to complete.
  2. One book well read is enough.

The Gift Of Love

Are you thinking, “Allen, what do you mean by well read?” A well-read Truth book is one that is lived as well as read. For example, let’s take this paragraph from Joel Goldsmith’s book, The Gift of Love.

“As we begin the practice of beholding the Christ in everyone we meet – in our household, our neighborhood, the market, the post office, the department store – the world will begin to present a different picture to us. People will act in a different way. The world will respond differently to us because the world will bring back to us what we have given to it.”

Getting More Out Of Your Reading

Even merely read, this excerpt lifts the heart. It opens your eyes to the possibility of living in a brand-new world of harmony and peace. But, until it is lived, all you have is fine-sounding theory. Is that all you want?

If you intend to get the most out of this passage, turning a mere eyes-read-the-words passage to a well-read passage, there’s more to do. What follows works for any Truth book.

First, ask yourself, “What does this passage promise me?” In the excerpt above, there are a few promises:

  • The world will begin to present a different picture to you (more magnificent).
  • People will act differently (more Godlike).
  • The world will respond differently (more favorable).

The second question spills out of the first: “Am I interested in experiencing these promises in my daily living?”

If you answered, “Yes,” to this question, the third question is crucial: “What must I do to experience these promises?” In this excerpt, the answer is clear and simple. You must behold the Christ in everyone you meet – all day, every day.

The final question is simply, “Am I willing to do what is required?”

From Reading To Living

Now that you’ve read the passage and answered the essential questions, it’s time to get on with the living. But don’t move too quickly. Contemplate the passage and consider all of its implications. A word or phrase may stick out that causes you to pause. In this instance that word could be “everyone.” Everyone includes the:

  • irritating co-worker
  • boy bullying your child
  • boss that denied your promotion
  • cheating spouse
  • booze-addled neighbor

You understand the implications and you’re off to a good start. After waking up in the morning, the first person you see is your teenage son. Today is different. This day you look beyond his adolescence and know that before you is the Presence of the living Christ (God Identified). Here is Infinite Goodness, alive in all its splendor and glory. Here is all-knowing Wisdom and Intelligence.

All day long, you do something similar with everyone you meet. As the hours hasten by, it becomes a game to you, and you feel great. You have a few slip-ups, but that’s okay. For the most part you remain on point.

After a few days, it starts getting stale. You feel like you are merely watching your thoughts and saying words. That’s the time to “up the game.” In your daily practice of “listening prayer,” you ask your God-Consciousness, “What more do I need to know in beholding the Christ?” You listen expectantly for an answer. Whatever is finally revealed, you start to implement right away.

Handling The Rough Patches

So far, you haven’t run into someone you resist beholding their Christ nature, but today it happens. You can’t do it. In times like these you remember, “Of myself, I can do nothing. It’s the Father within me that doeth the works.” The translation here is, “As a human being trying to behold the Christ of another human, I can’t do it. But as God-Identified, I can do as God does, know as God knows and perceive as God perceives. I yield completely to my God nature.”

After a few weeks of doing this, it seems as though you’re walking in Paradise. You are kinder and people are wonderful. Doors of opportunities fling wide open for you. It’s fantastic. Continuing on a few weeks more, beholding the Christ becomes your natural way of living.

This is just a single paragraph on page 3. There are one hundred and forty-seven more pages. If you never read another page, you have lived the main thrust of this book.

Some paragraphs in this book and other books are supporting passages. They explain and clarify the “doing” passages. These paragraphs are begging for prayerful contemplation. They point out something easily overlooked in casual reading.

Contemplation Reveals Overlooked Truths

Take for example this paragraph on page 4 of the same book:

“The person we meet today is presenting his Christhood for identification. He thinks he is presenting a sick body to be healed, a diseased mind to be set at peace, an empty purse to be filled, or morals to be cleansed.”

Prayerfully contemplating a passage like this reveals overlooked Truths. While contemplating the above passage a burst of light flashes in your awareness. You realize that when seemingly troubled people come to you, they don’t want you to sink into the quicksand of duality with them by giving human advice. They want you to look at them and know, “Right here is the living Perfection of God’s Presence. Right here is the living Light of the world.”

Consider all that you have read in this post and answer this question. How long would it take to read a hundred-page book, and read it well? It’s not the quantity of your reading. It’s the quality.

How To Profit From Change

coping-with-change-1-638

“

 

“Everything must change.
Nothing stays the same.
That’s the way of time.
Everything must change.”

These are the lyrics of a popular song (link here) by Benard Ighner. It appears to be based on a familiar passage in the Holy Bible (Ecclesiastes 3:1-7). It’s all about change. Reader, how do you cope with change?

Things Always Seem To Be Changing

It seems that we are always dealing with change.

  • a change of heart
  • a change of mind
  • a change of plans
  • change of circumstances

And what about those unexpected changes?

  • A once happy marriage/relationship turns sour.
  • A loved one suddenly dies.
  • A new home in a new state or country.
  • A change of employment.

I could go on about the many changes you may face, but this post is not about change. It’s about how to cope with and profit from seeming change.

A woman boards the train. She finds a comfortable seat by the window. She’s waiting for her husband to come with the mocha lattes. “What’s taking him so long,” she wonders. She looks through the window to her left. Another train is slowly pulling out of the station. She panics. Thinking it’s her train that’s moving, she looks out of her window hoping to see her husband hurrying down the platform. Then she realizes that her train is not moving at all.

Keep Your Eyes On The Prize

This scenario is the fundamental key to coping with seeming change in your life. THOUGH MANY SCENES AND THINGS MAY APPEAR TO CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE, KEEP YOUR EYES AND HEART FIXED ON THAT WHICH NEVER CHANGES.

“For I am the Lord, and I change not.” Things and scenarios may seem to change in your life, but if you keep your focus on the changeless Presence of God, you will squeeze every drop of goodness out of any change.

It’s All A Matter Of Consciousness

Some changes seem troubling. It’s like a black curtain has circled your life. Life seems dark, gloomy, despairing. Even then I ask you, if Infinite Goodness is equally present and everywhere present, isn’t it right there where the seeming gloom and darkness appears to be? How could you flee from God’s Presence of Infinite Goodness? You can’t.

It’s a good thing for you to contemplate the Infinite Goodness of God as a fixed, changeless fact in your life.

Coping successfully with change is a matter of CONSCIOUSNESS. It’s all about your attitude and what you are perceiving.

When you find yourself fearing change, don’t look out the window at that which seems to be moving in your life. Turn your gaze to the platform: the never-changing presence of Infinite Goodness. Things and scenarios may seem to change in your life, but GOD’S GOODNESS IS A FIXED FACT IN YOUR LIFE.

Body 101 (Part 2)

1-corinthians-3-16-your-body-is-a-temple-of-god-pink-1

You’ve read the last post, and by now you have your list of questions written down. You will be referring to these questions many times. Having them on paper eliminates the anxiety of trying to remember them during a “listening session.”

If listening is the greater part of learning, then hearing is the prelude to knowing. This blog post is about being God-taught by hearing the voice of “your” God Consciousness. It is not enough to listen. Listening must progress to hearing and conclude with knowing. It is the knowledge of Truth that frees you from the false ideas about your Body.

How To Begin A Listening Session

Unless you have your questions memorized, begin by reading over your list. Approach each session with an open mind. The answers most likely will surprise you. As expected, none of your answers will support ideas based on a material concept of your Body.

Next, settle in and ask the question that is uppermost in your Mind. If closing your eyes works for you, then close them. Now, you simply listen intently for the answer. Give it a minute or so and then proceed to the next question. You can, if you decide, go through your entire list of questions in one session. I never do.

I’m always asked how long a listening session should be. I can’t tell you that. Whatever feels right to you. Sometimes it may span two or three minutes. Other times, it may be much longer. The essential thing is that your listening sessions be approached with joy and enthusiasm.

Where Are The Answers Coming From?

Sometimes you will have a listening session where nothing is heard. It happens all the time for me. Nevertheless, you want to cut out any unnecessary delays to hearing the answers to your questions. This means you must understand that answers are not coming “to” you from a God outside of you. We are through with that kind of dualism.

All of the answers are already within your Consciousness. They are bubbling up within you. To tell the Truth, you are the answer to every question. This fact, understood, eliminates the delay caused by time and distance.

Don’t Despair

Ideally, every listening session will result in your hearing the answer to one or more of your questions. If you’re anything like me, you start your sessions with the hope that the answers come quickly – without delay.

That can happen, but to be honest, for me, it doesn’t often happen like that. Sometimes you have to ask repeatedly, for many days. Don’t despair. The answer is worth the wait. An answer heard gives you both a new view and a new experience of your Body.

Whatever you do, don’t drop the ball. Don’t get so frustrated that you completely abandon your listening sessions. One day, you’ll look back and say, “Allen, this is the best thing I’ve ever done.”

How To Handle “The Mosquitos”

The other day my brother called and asked me how to handle those pesky little thoughts that buzz about in your mind. It seems as soon as you decide to listen, thoughts about the new lawnmower; the grocery list; the booster shots; etc., come up.

You try fighting them, but like mosquitos, they keep coming back. Give those thoughts exactly what they want – attention. Rather than fighting them, tell them, “I promise I’ll give you a few minutes when I’m done.” Usually, something like this keeps them at bay.

One thing I know for sure is that if you are serious about hearing, you will find an effective way to deal with these thoughts.

The Answer

When an answer is revealed, you will naturally go into contemplation mode. That’s a good thing. You will probably contemplate the answer for many days. And it is possible that your listening sessions become contemplation sessions. In this case, that’s a good thing. In a short while, you will get back to your list.

In your journal, you have your list of questions. That journal should also contain the answer to your questions. You will refer to these answers many times – mainly for inspiration.

Again, I encourage you to enjoy the entire process.
