How? How!!??
How???!!!
What do I mean by reaching out to God with my will and mind
and intention and attention?
Here are some clues.
Listen to The Silence behind silence, when it is
completely quiet. Focus on it.
Feel The Stillness behind stillness when you are
resting. Focus on this.
Silence and stillness.
Like I said before, you can feel this even when a lot of people are
around.
Or pray. Honestly
pray. Feel the attention of God
listening to you pray.
Feel the accompanying feeling of the One who you secretly
knew; the One who was, and is, always with you.
The One you sometimes, or even often, try to avoid; to drown
out with noise or activity.
When you go for a walk, or ride your bike, or drive your
car, feel the insights that come to your mind while you think through a problem
you feel you cannot solve.
Even better.
Think about your mind, the fact that you are thinking right
now. Focus on the “you” behind your
thinking, your awareness of your own thinking.
That awareness is your spirit, like it says in the opening verse. Focus on The Awareness behind your own
awareness, or The Awareness that is behind everything. Like silence.
Like stillness. Like mind.
That is God.
That is how God feels.
The feeling you feel ALL THE TIME, but sometimes ignore.
When He speaks, the tone of His voice sounds like the tone
of your mind’s voice, but sharper. Somewhat
electric sometimes, when you understand something you couldn’t figure out. The feeling of epiphany while you are
thinking. Sometimes this feels like
honey slowly falling on your brain, and the revelation somewhat oozes into your
consciousness.
This too is God.
But we often take credit for revelations like this,
forgetting that an hour earlier we had no clue what the solution to the problem
was.
He is not far from us.
If we would only reach out for Him, we would not only find
Him, but we’d realize He’s really been there all of our lives, from our first
consciousness of consciousness.
