"Every thought you have contributes to truth or illusion; either it extends the Truth or it multiplies illusions. You can indeed multiply nothing, but you will not extend it by doing so." -- A Course in Miracles; Workbook 16, 2:3-4
Today's blog post is very short. Perhaps it will help you (as it helped me through the writing of it) to rest and to trust.
The above passage from A Course in Miracles is most comforting to me, although to my conditioned self it does at first seem overwhelming. What's comforting is that when I lose myself in my daily routine, or am momentarily shocked or fearful because of seeming events, I haven't really done more than multiply zero. And no matter how large a number you multiply by zero, the result is still nothing.
Similarly, I don't have to do anything to extend the Truth except be Aware. When I'm Aware, I see that the infinite, all-encompassing Truth of Being is all that is ever going on. It extends because it IS. I am safe because I am living and moving and having my being in, as, and through the Infinite Self. I acknowledge this Presence, and It extends through me.
"In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths." -- The Bible; Proverbs 3:6
