Session nr 15 of 10 November 2015 (this is not a session; I just gave it
a number for the chronology on the website.)
Note Wivine: I met many people in my
life and during my travels and I read a lot. There's a truth that I met
regularly in some books and among some ethnic groups. What follows is an
excerpt from one of these books that expresses this truth in its own ways; a
truth that I put little by little in practice through meditation and my Energy work.
It is only now that I understand the full range; now that I have the ability,
like some of my companions, to be able or allowed to work with the Pure Energy of my indwelling God Fragment.
It is only 8 years ago that I came
in contact with the Urantia book through internet and in recent weeks I was
wondering why so late? Then this text came back under my eyes in response. I
first had to read other books and learn to work with the energy of the universe
to follow the path that was mine. The Urantia book gave me then a broader cosmology
in which my life experiences, my Energy work and my thirst for knowledge could
be framed to proceed to the next steps of my progression.
THE HERITAGE OF MAN,
Silence
is power, for when we reach the place of silence in mind, we have reached the
place of power – the place where all is one, the one power –
GOD.
Diffused power is noise.
Concentrated power is silence. When, through meditation, we have brought all of
our forces into one point, we have contacted God in silence, we are one with
Him and hence one with all power.
This is the heritage of
man. “I and The Father are one.”
There is but one way to be
one with the power of God and that is consciously to contact God. This cannot
be done in the without, for God manifests from within.
Only as we turn from the
without to the silence of the within can we hope to make conscious union with
God. We will realize that His power is for us to use and we will use it all
times. Then we will know that we are one with this power.
Then man will learn to let
go of self-delusions and vanities. He will realize his ignorance and
littleness. Then will he be prepared to learn.
He will realize that the
proud cannot be taught. He will know that only the humble one can perceive the
Truth. His feet will feel the firm rock, he will no longer stumble, he will be poised in decision.
To realize that God is the
only power, substance, and intelligence may be confusing at first.
When man does realize the
true nature of God and brings Him forth into active expression, he will use
this power at all times. He will know that he consciously contacts His power at
all times – when he eats, when he runs, when he breathes, or when he does the
great work before Him.
Man has not learned to do
the greater works of God because he has not realized the greatness of God’s
power and has not known that God’s power is for man’s use.
God does not hear us
through our loud and vain repetitions or our much speaking. We must seek God
through the invisible connection which we have within ourselves. When The
Father within is worshipped in Spirit and Truth, He hears the calls of that
soul which sincerely opens to Him. The one who makes the connection with The
Father in secret will feel the power flowing through him as the fulfillment of
every desire.
For he that sees The
Father in the secret place of his own soul and there abides, him The Father
will reward openly.
See how often Jesus
disclosed his individual contact with The Father. See how he constantly held
himself in conscious communication with God within. See how he talked with Him
as though he were personally present. See how powerful this secret inner
relation made him. He recognized that God does not speak in the fire, the
earthquake, or great wind, but in the still, small voice – the still, small
voice deep in our own souls.
When man learns this, he
will become poised. He will learn to think things through. Old ideas will drop
away, new ideas will be adjusted. He will soon find the ease and efficiency of
system. He will learn at last to take all the questions that perplex him into
this silent hour. There he may not solve them but he will become familiar with
them.
Then he will not need to
go hurrying and battling through the day and feel that his purpose has been
defeated.
