Student Q&A with Guy on "Enter the Sanctuary of the Present Moment and Realize Perfect Peace" (1/31/21)
Posted: Monday, February 1, 2021
Meeting: Friday, January 29, 2021
Duration: 32min 52sec
Topics Covered
We presently spend too much time in worldly pursuits because we don't know that there is another world that sits above this present level of consciousness.
Real peace cannot be interrupted. Real peace looks for nothing and wants for nothing.
Most of our attention is dedicated to a "time to come" in which there will be a "me" that will find peace and be free. The consciousness of humanity in this world serves this time to come.
Rarely are we concerned with the whole of who and what we are in the present. Instead a part of us wants to fill the hole in us by imagining a promising future.
In humanity's arrogance, it believes that it is responsible for sustaining life and making sure that it moves in the right direction.
Revelation shows that our true nature is the ground of everything that is changing and yet never changes.
Passing time repeats itself in a circle. The only thing that can change us is the existence of, and reconnection with, something that is timeless, eternal.
There is no thought in Now, whereas the line of passing time is thought imagining another time that is better than the line it is on.
We cannot be any more than we are given in the Now.
"In time all things are seeking completion. But in the Now all things are complete." -- Maurice Nicoll
The spiritual reward is the capacity to see yourself as you actually are.
There are two possible paths: reincarnation, or the revelation of what is and everything that comes with that, which is beyond thought.
If the moment is unnecessarily difficult, it is because a part of you is fighting with it.
There is a level of consciousness that is always seeking to relieve itself of the pain that it is in.
Real life is the revelation of passing time by the timeless light that is above it.
The acronym "RHSIHAN" is "Remember His Sanctuary Is Here And Now."
It is impossible to act against yourself in the sanctuary of Now. Take your attention and sense the Now by sensing everything that you can possibly sense, including bodily tension. Allow what is being revealed to be revealed for as long as possible without interruption, and have no concern over how much time you can stay there.
Catch the temptation to judge yourself for what you see about yourself. Just make yourself available to revelation.
You are where you are... and where you are -- in each moment -- is inseparable from your perception and experience of the conditions unfolding within it.
There is no other place for you to be, nor -- for that matter -- where you can be other than in the heart of this revelation, sharing its timeless sanctuary...
... Wherein ALL that you are is being revealed (within you) at once.
