DANGER!
EMOTIONAL SECURITY
The
worst move we can make when we are anxious and self-conscious is to do
something about it. It is precisely what we do that makes us worse! Doing something implies repressing,
expressing or otherwise making ourselves look and feel better than we really
are. Doing something also implies
escaping from the Truth of the present moment.
It
is in the present that we respond improperly and fail. It is in the present
that our faults grow and are revealed to us. It is in the light of the present
moment that we feel shame, inadequacy, guilt and fear. That is why it is so important to respond to
the Presence within.
That Presence holds the present moment still enough to
make you sufficiently sorry to live according to the principles of that Light. Evidence that you have learned to respond to
what is right is the patience that never fails when tried. Evidence that you have not learned is your
impatience.
Impatience shows that our
soul is not yet committed to the Light. Impatience is made of the animal energy
of pride that always drives us to do what we will later regret. With a right motive, you can see in each
moment your impatience and all the faults that grow out of it. By seeing, you
can then repent and change the way you respond.
Never Escape the Present Moment-It's the Doorway to
Eternity!
Unhappily,
people do. They are always running from the Eternal Presence that shows the
present moment for what it is.
The
ego, seeking a sense of omnipotent consciousness without conscience, is forced
to sink down lower and lower into the sensuous world to escape the knowledge of
its growing ugliness as revealed in that Light.
