Student Q&A with Guy on "Step Into the Invisible Stream of Real Life and Be Set Free" (9/21/22)
Posted: Friday, September 23, 2022
Meeting: Wednesday, September 21, 2022
Duration: 23min 41sec
Topics Covered
The keys to the peace that passes all understanding cannot be found with thought.
Peace for people now is predicated upon whether or not they get what they want.
Real peace is found in a conscious relationship with life, a life that is greater than the sum of its parts.
When you truly understand the nature of real peace, it can never be taken from you. The mind's idea of peace is always under threat of being taken away. The mind's idea of peace always comes with that which will take it away.
Real relationship with life is not the same as thinking about your life.
Thought tries to either protect or avoid the very image that it brought into existence.
The constant state of wanting and not-wanting is presently almost the entire sum total of our experience of life.
New understanding shows a person the limitations of their old understanding.
Our present level of consciousness believes that if it can get what it wants, then it will find safety, peace and security in this world.
In the awareness of your present level of consciousness there is an understanding of what you cannot be anymore.
Whenever you judge yourself, you are in a dream believing that you are other than what you are judging within yourself.
Real peace and security is not dependent upon dreaming about what you want and/or don't want.
Life is happening. Life is not what happened in the past, or what might happen. We are meant to be a conscious participant in the happening of life.
The genuine peace and security you seek is within the unfolding of life itself as it is happening, not within what desire and ambition wants to take from life.
You don't have to live with what your mind tells you happened in the distant past, or even just one second ago.
Our experience of life is a creation of whatever level of consciousness we are in at that moment.
The dreamer will never know the security that it dreams of. The awareness of that fact is a step along the road to authentic security.
Let it be that I might see your wish for me.
We are so busy wanting and not-wanting that we fail to see what we are being given.
In the end, to which there is no ending, one sees the circle of thought ever circling back upon itself... and never knowing it has done so.
It is at the end of that circle where awaits the beginning of something unthinkable, unimaginable: the momentary appearance of a narrow gate opening up... and onto a straight line.
