Waiting

To search for what you want in the outer activity is fruitless. If it does not first exist in the inner, it can never exist in the outer. Waiting on the outer to deliver what you want is like giving a monkey a typewriter and waiting for him to bang out the complete works of Shakespeare. Sure, it could happen. There’s an ever better chance that it won’t, and meanwhile you’ve wasted all the time you had for no certain result.

 

 

Searching in the outer for what you want is as futile as attempting to mend a leak in your sprinkler, one drop of water at a time.

You can never arrange the outer to bring what you are seeking. It must first exist otherwhere, within, where it is absolute, and all outer appearances must give way to its gentle and unyielding power.

 

 

As within, so without

Hermes Tresmegistus

 

What is held to within must actualize in the outer, which exists only to mimic, mirror and outpicture what is within.

Think of your inner as an eternal flame. As low as this flame may go, as unregarded as it may be, it can never go out, for it is the light within you, who are the actualization of God.

 

 

Of course it is very much in your interest to nurture and nourish this flame.

How?

By cultivating the practice of becoming quiet.  The more practice, the better.

 

Pray without ceasing

Paul’s letter to the Thessalonians

 

 

Create inward space, and then convert all this space into one giant ask. Become the question. Ask for what you want by becoming a wide channel for it. Be open to help from unexpected quarters. Be receptive to the help you have asked for.

At the same time, strongly affirm your faith in the power of the flame within.

 

I do accept the full activity of my mighty I AM presence
