BE STILL AND KNOW

Be still and Know........

From the stillness of being, comes the knowledge of the true self, the Higher Self, or the Christ within. Life creates so much “noise” so many voices trying to get your attention and you sometimes will find yourself lost, trying to listen to all of these voices at once. There is the voice of reason, figuring reasoning out life. There is the voice of condemnation, blaming, you, God, and others for things that did not work out, the voice of guilt screaming from the inside of the mind “guilty as charged” thy voices of anger pain, and confusion all screaming for attention. Not to forget the voice that sometimes is the loudest of them all and that is the voice of religion, shouting, be right be just, sin, sinner!! you will never make it, you are lost. From within there is a soft still voice, and without awareness, this voice can easily be missed, that is the voice of Stillness, without practice, you will never be able to distinguish its sound from the other voices in your life.

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.

As the Psalmist puts it so beautifully, “Be still and know that I am God” and from stillness, the state of “being” comes the state of “knowing” and from that comes the True Voice, the voice of the Eternal, the voice of the Divine, the voice of the Higher Self, the True Shepherd Rightly states it “My sheep know My Voice and will follow it”.

These other voices will never be stilled by the power of the will, for they are the voice of the ego, and the only way to silence these is by meditating and contemplating on the stillness of being. Be still and know, not judging, not labeling but accepting “what is”, accepting the moment, accepting the now, and from this realization comes the Stillness of Being.

Be still and know.......

Pray the following prayer.

Be Still and know that I am God.

Be Still and Know that I Am.

Be still and Know.

Be Still.

Be.

“Your duty is to be and not to be this or that. 'I am that I am' sums up the whole truth. The method is summed up in the words 'Be still'. What does stillness mean? It means destroy yourself. Because any form or shape is the cause for trouble. Give up the notion that 'I am so and so'. All that is required to realize the Self is to be still. What can be easier than that?”
