Being aware that something is always trying to make God's business into its own business.
Everything in one way or another always seems to revolve around "me" and it isn't going to stop by itself.
The Work has always been about Metanoia, a turning around.
It's a law that the moment you want to be someone other than who you are you're guaranteed to remain who you've been.
This nature claims what it attends to, and it scatters. Resistance scatters.
Resistance can be used as a gathering force when we can remain with ourselves as we are in that moment.
Our minds never stop looking for answers to questions we didn't even know we asked. We don't hear them, but we feel them.
Built into the reaction is a natural resistance which becomes an unnatural creature as it tells us what just happened and then answers its own implicit question, including what we need to do about it.
What we don't see, because it is an outward movement, a scattering movement, is that the question seems to prove the problem.
If the question proves the resistance, then the question can't do anything other than validate the consciousness responding in that way.
We have to suffer ourselves enough to not go with the reaction, the question, and then the endless pursuit for an answer.
The question that comes up in any given moment is a distraction. It's a cover up for the shock and puts the problem outside.
The question should get so big that it swallows everything. There's power in unanswered questions, but not power that we wield.
The whole movement is a living disturbance being delivered into a balance: the balance is part of the disturbance, the disturbance is part of the balance.
Your seeming patience is killing you, as opposed to letting real Patience reveal the killer which is this incessantly demanding unconscious nature.
The most difficult thing of an aspirant's life is to understand that it is the lowest moments in their life that holds the highest possibilities for them, but not if one avoids them.
If the mind is talking to itself, it is answering its own question. Something is disturbed and it believes it is not supposed to be disturbed.
Our minds cannot wait to come to a conclusion, because the conclusion sets the mind up for its next fear or disillusionment.
This consciousness poses questions to bring you to its conclusions, to what it knows.
A real question will never lead to a place that you know. It will always be to place that you don't know, and you will be a stranger in a strange land for that moment.
PLCOF: Perfect Love Casts Out Fear.
Simultaneous awareness of what-was and what-is produces something new.
What is truly new doesn't have a texture or quality that is known, so it seems as if this is nothingness.
Fear is born out of the continuous evaluation of oneself.
Each of us has to get to the end of any wish or hope that we're something other than what we are.
You can't be ready for the unknown.
To Be doesn't require knowing. Knowing kills Being.
