Student Q&A with Guy on "Discover the Invisible Path of Perfect Action" (4/14/21)
Posted: Thursday, April 15, 2021
Meeting: Wednesday, April 14, 2021
Duration: 31min 22sec
Topics Covered
Instead of being used by the world, use the world to discover your purpose for being here.
There is no power in the universe that has the authority to make you act against yourself or others.
How do we stop harming ourselves and others? Start being harmless. Be in the right place in yourself, doing the right thing.
What we really seek cannot be found in any condition, place, or person outside of ourselves.
Everything that we do to get to a place where we think we won't be harmed IS what is harming us.
We live in a divided state of consciousness that cannot comprehend unity, and everything it does to achieve unity only produces more division.
"Behold but One in all things. It is the second that leads you astray." -- Kabir
It is the One that is behind all things that is the place of perfect action.
Nothing moves in the universe that does not move everything else.
All creatures on the Earth are instruments of the Divine, and all creatures are mutually dependent. Every creature and every object is required for the revelation of life manifested in time.
There is no place or point that is static. But the divided mind must perceive everything as static so that it can know itself through what it sees.
To describe something you must be outside of the thing you are describing. There is nothing wrong with descriptions, but they are part of the world of duality.
We are a part of the whole, but we are apart from the whole because we do not understand how to participate in its life.
Three words: Do it right. Complete the moment of movement and the movement in that moment of which you are a participant. Be aware of your movement and everything that is moving you. Only then is it possible to do no harm.
The original meaning of the word "right" is connected to the idea of "straight."
A mind that is divided is self-harming by its very nature.
We are not meant to be mechanical human beings who live in a divided state of two.
If you do it right, then your action is clean and without harm. If you are not aware of what is moving you, then chances are that your action will require a cleanup crew.
To participate in the whole of the moment, you have to be aware of what is moving you.
There is no such thing as "getting there." We already are where we are, and we are already given everything we need to understand our true role.
The only reason that we want something else that is not a part of the moment is because we are not completing the moment as it is given. Our fulfillment cannot be found outside of completing the moment.
Who you really are cannot be overwhelmed. The only thing that can be overwhelmed is the consciousness that believes that it is separate from what it perceives.
Don't try to not be afraid. Instead be present to the movement of fear. This allows real intelligence to put fear and everything else in its right place.
Don't get into thinking about what will happen as a result of letting go. That is duality. One of the real rewards of letting go is the increased capacity to participate in the present moment, which is not in thought.
Anytime we do it right, the whole world changes. Be a peacemaker by agreeing to die to the consciousness that is at war with itself.
