BEING & DOING

In January we affirmed, in February we let go, now in March, let us get out of our own way  and just relax into our Being.

Doing is secondary to being

Seek to be love, to be wisdom, to be life,... and let the results take care of themselves

It is not the act itself that is crucial, but the conscious attitudes that surround it.

  Dossey, Larry M.D. (1982, p 215) Space, Time and Medicine. New Science Library, Shambhala, Boston, MA.

Being is

                        ...when you are silent, listening and observing with intent and focus

            ...as opposed to doing when your mind is constantly busy, when your are within yourself caring on an inner dialogue.

Roman, S. (1986, p. 39) Personal Power through Awareness. Tiburon, CA, H.J.Kramer, Inc.

We are not of this world.  "The world" is something we are doing; not something we are.

Small, Jacquelyn, (1982) Transformers: The Therapists of the Future  (1982). Marina del Rey, CA: DeVorss & Company, Publisher, p 199

Doing - "When you do not know what to do, you have no responsibility to do anything, except to be aware that you are lost"

Howard, Vernon (1967, p 191)The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power NY, Parker Publishing Co., Inc.

You have nothing to do.  You have everything to be.

Howard, Vernon (1967, p 210)The Mystic Path to Cosmic Power NY, Parker Publishing Co., Inc.

The universe is unfolding perfectly

I don't have to hang on

I can relax and let go

I can go with the flow

By changing the channel he could change himself  He could go through phases, as garden plants went through phases, but he could change as rapidly as he wished by twisting the dial backward and forward.  In some cases he could spread out into the screen without stopping, just as on TV people spread out into the screen.  By turning the dial, Chance could bring others inside his eyelids.  Thus he came to believe that it was he, Chance, and no one else, who made himself be.

There is, attainable by us, a place where we can see that our doing can cease, because we realize that Spirit is the fulfillment of all our desires.  We simply get still and know that all things whatsoever we desire are ours already.
