SELF STUDY

How to Understand God (HUG)

The monthly focus is a written excerpt taken from one of Jim and Brian’s talks, with a link to listen to the entire talk. In holding to a one-pointed focus on Spirit, each month we post a new written excerpt by either Jim or Brian. The worldwide monthly focus on Spirit helps us collectively deepen our understanding of God.

February 2020 — BE STILL

By JIM GORDON

Monthly Focus ~ 

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM. 

So in the stillness, that is our role, that is what we are here to do: Be still and know that I Am.  If you be still in your meditation, if you be quiet, God does the rest.

 

Full Excerpt ~

So, that’s why I ask of you to, in your meditation, “look up, look up”. One, it begins to hold a focus where the soul can begin to collect Itself back to the seat of Itself, to the seat of the Soul, to the Spiritual Heart. And two, I ask that in looking up you also share your love with God.  You share your love with God and you be open to allow God’s Loving in, to be receiving of God so you are in a giving and a receiving, you are in a Divine flow of Love.

That’s the movement of the Holy Spirit. That is Grace. That is the Sound Current, the Audible Life Stream, the Path of Sound and Light. That is the Path from which we came out of the Heart of God and which we return.

Now, when I say that, it’s a strange statement to say that we came out of the Heart of God and we return there. And at the same time you also hear me say over and over again: “One day you are going to wake up and realize that you never left the Heart of God, that you’ve always been there”.

So how could it be that I say that, but then I also say that you left the Heart of God and now you’re going to return?  It’s just an illusion, that’s exactly it. We have gotten caught up in the illusion of separation. We have gotten caught up in the things that are not real and we believe them to be real. It’s illusion. We never left the Heart of God, we just happened to look out from the Source and believed what we saw outside of Itself. And we have been ever living the great dream of separation, but we’ve never been separated.  And all we have to do is wake up and realized we never left, we’ve never been separated.

And what is there we have to do? What do we have to make right? How should we…, why do we have to be worthy of God’s love, if we’re already in God’s Love? In truth, all we have to do is wake up.

So in the stillness, that is our role, that is what we are here to do: Be still and know that I Am.  If you be still in your meditation, if you be quiet, God does the rest.

God begins to love you. As you allow that Loving in, you begin to be inspired to love God in a greater way. And you begin to feel the movement of Loving in you and through you. And you begin to feel the Loving not just move through your soul but to be in action with your body and to move through your body, and your body begins to respond to that Loving. And every part of you begins to love God in a way that you have never loved before. And all of a sudden you find that there’s nothing you have to do but Be in God’s Loving.  There’s nothing you have to do.
