"Mind reaches to itself. It is not made up of different parts, which reach each other. It does not go out. Within itself it has no limits, and there is nothing outside it. It encompasses everything. It encompasses you entirely; you within it and it within you. There is nothing else, anywhere or ever." -- A Course in Miracles; Chapter 18, Section VI, 8:5-11
I've been undergoing a lot seeming outer change. Travel, work, new friends, many holy encounters that are very much outside the box. But the one constant is the reassurance of the Holy Spirit, the still, small Voice of Self that always says there are no real differences. There's nothing any different now than before, nothing any different here from there, nothing any different anywhere at all. In fact, it becomes more apparent there is only Mind Awake, and there is never (and never has been) anything else, anywhere, ever.
Mind Awake reveals the complete illusory nature of time and space and all the differences that masquerade as the material world. Each seeming challenge resolves and melts into nothingness. Each seeming judgement reveals itself as nothing, which is what forgiveness is. Each person, place, and thing reveals the Love that shines within Mind Awake, the only Reality. And all that was ever needed was my full attention.
Ironically, my full attention has nothing to do with the seeming individual human mind. It has nothing to do with busyness or thinking or any seeming distractions. No matter what the human mind is immersed in, Mind Awake remains eternally Present and unchanged. I don't have to do anything at all. Because Mind is not made up of different parts that need to wake up. Mind encompasses me and all that I seem to think or do or be. Each Holy Instant reveals full Presence and the Light of Self. Nothing to do, nothing to change, and nothing else at all.
"When peace comes at last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the Light comes at last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the goal is finally achieved by anyone, it always comes with just one happy realization; "I need do nothing." -- A Course in Miracles; Chapter 18, Section VII, 5:7
