Thought of Awakening 173 by Regina Dawn Akers
Relax. Take a break.
Be still, if only for a moment.
Feel love and have gratitude for everything you find in stillness.
Do not worry that you were not still enough.
Do not worry that the length was too short.
Any worry is noise that pulls you away from stillness.
Have gratitude for whatever bit of stillness you reach, however brief and however fleeting.
Gratitude is love, and in love you extend stillness.
~ From our Holy Spirit
Inner Wisdom, what would you have me see?
When you rest in stillness, in silence, you rest within your own nature. This is the most natural way of your being. So I remind you again to return to your natural way of being and rest within the arms of your own peace. Nothing can hurt you.
It is in the stillness that I feel closest to God. Here, in stillness, there is nothing of mind to come between us, no thoughts to distract away from the more of the Self. I sometimes feel the human being is like the tip of an iceberg, the part that is visible, so it’s what gets all of the attention. But the more of us is in the hidden depths. What is in the hidden depths is vast and unseen, yet its knowable. When I enter the stillness, I turn within toward the hidden depths within me. Something in me loves touching into these depths, loves acquainting me with the more of me. When I spend too much time living on the surface, I feel disconnected and sad. Yet when I go into the depths, I rediscover joy, peace and love live there and are always accessible there. How could I not feel gratitude for the inner depths. Here I touch something out of reach to the mind. When I rest in these depths, so quiet and still, yet so full, I know I want to live from here. For all the beauty that is is here, waiting to be birthed into expression. The mind cannot express this beauty for the mind does not know it. It lives in the inner depths. I feel the real purpose of a human being is to give expression to what arises from these depths. To extend into form the love, the beauty, the joy of our Godlike nature. Not to live on the surface but to live from the depths.
The Voice we call the Holy Spirit is what arises from the depths to guide in this extension of the good, the holy and the beautiful in form
