Letting Go of Time
You think of a friend and the phone rings and there she is saying that something told her to call you.
What do you think might be happening? Could it be that we are letting go of time?
Could consciousness be coming aware of itSelf. Could it be that the power to think a thought and know that the thought becomes a reality here and now is awakening to us?
Is the genie finally out of the bottle? Are we letting go of time now that we know we can?
Could it be that we are finally accepting the power we a, the riches and health we are and finally letting go of the mental construct we call time.
Are we letting go of time knowing that nothing is in our way to live the miraculous as we were meant to live, becoming a present moment experience? No more saving our good for some future time and space, postponing our good because of a belief in lack and limitation which came to be when time was factored in our equation.
Stop, look and see what is it that you are thinking right here and right now. What is stopping it from coming alive in your world right now? Time is the culprit. The belief in time is the only block you have to making your dreams becoming yours now.
Cause just is. Time keeps on keepin on. Postponing, waiting, seeking and not finding are all the effects of time. Only time is in our way.
What you see is what you are choosing to see. What you want to see that you don’t see is frozen in space and caught between Now and time. All your dreams are waiting to be born through you. Get time out of the way and know that only you can decide here and now what it is that you WILL to see.
Could it be that we are letting go of time? Yes! I AM…How about you?
The Third Jesus
Adapted from “The Third Jesus,” by Deepak Chopra
The idea of the Second Coming has been especially destructive to Jesus’s intentions, because it postpones what needs to happen now. The Third Coming—finding God-consciousness through your own efforts—happens in the present. I’m using the term as a metaphor for a shift in consciousness that makes Jesus’s teachings totally real and vital.
When Jesus Comes Again
Imagine for a moment that you are at the top of the hill where Jesus is and he delivers a sermon, and you are deeply struck, to the heart, in fact. He promises that God loves you, a statement he makes directly, without asking you to follow the duties of your sect or to respect the ancient, complex laws of the prophets. Further, he says that God loves you best. In the world to come, you and your kind will get the richest rewards, everything you have been denied in this world.
As the son of Adam, your sins have brought you a wretched existence, full of misery and endless toil. But Jesus doesn’t mention sin. He expands God’s love to unbelievable lengths. Did you really hear him right?
You are the light of the world. Let your light shine before all men. He compares you to a city set upon a hill that can’t be hidden because its lights are so bright. You’ve never been told anything remotely like this or ever seen yourself this way.
Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and the door will open.
Consider the lilies, how they grow: They neither toil nor spin, but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. Consider the crows, for they neither sow nor reap, they have no storeroom or barn, and yet God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than the birds!
When he preached, “If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer him the other also” (Luke 6:29), Jesus wasn’t preaching masochism or martyrdom. He was speaking of a quality of consciousness that is known in Sanskrit as Ahimsa. The word is usually translated as “harmlessness” or “non-violence,” and in modern times it became the watchword of Gandhi’s movement of peaceful resistance. Gandhi himself was often seen as Christ-like, but Ahimsa has roots in India going back thousands of years.
In the Indian tradition several things are understood about non-violence, and all of them apply to Jesus’s version of turning the other cheek. First, the aim of non-violence is ultimately to bring peace to yourself, to quell your own violence; the enemy outside serves only to mirror the enemy within. Second, your ability to be non-violent depends on a shift in consciousness. Last, if you are successful in changing yourself, reality will mirror the change back to you.
Without these conditions, Ahimsa isn’t spiritual or even effective. If someone full of desire for retaliation turns the other cheek to someone equally enraged, the only thing that will occur is more violence. Playing the part of a saint won’t make a difference. But if a person in God-consciousness turns the other cheek, his enemy will be disarmed.
Ananda and John’s Comment:
Deepak Chopra has a way of taking highly complex subjects and synthesizing them down to their basic essence. This complex issue, that has occupied the central core of billions of people for 2,000 years, has been laid out in a fashion that allows everyone to experience a deeper, richer experience with Jesus…whether they are fundamentalists, rationalists, mystical, or skeptical Christians or even students of other religions.
Harmonic Resonance
This evening Ananda and I were chatting with some friends about our new book connected with “The Secret” teachings: “I Know The Secret.” We were discussing how “the universe conspires” – immediately to bring our thoughts (desires) into objective manifestation as long as we don’t send out other thoughts, which contradict the original desire-thought.
We were sitting at a corner table in Barnes and Noble directly across from a similar table where several other friends of ours were laughing up a storm. One of those friends was probably telling one of his humorous anecdotes from his world travels as a well-known jazz pianist. He’s a gentle and jovial fellow with a story that fits almost any topic of conversation, and when he speaks he resonates the very essence of musical passion.
We often discuss with him how certain types of music, particularly the sort that slips easily into the intuitive connection with the universe, floats in the ether’s often referred to as “the zone” by athletes. That mystical zone vibrates at a particular frequency and attracts to it energy that resonates harmonically with it.
Just then we noticed a young girl -perhaps 11 or 12 years old – walk past our jazz friend to a table directly beside his where her parents were seated. What struck us was the blouse she was wearing. It was covered with musical notes as if copied from a giant page of sheet music.
Neither our friend nor the young lady connected with each other directly during the next half-hour before she left with her parents. What we couldn’t help noticing however, was how animated she was around our jazz friend’s energy. It was almost as if she were playing an instrument in her mind, due only to the blending of her musical passion vibrating in harmony with the frequency of the space the two occupied at the moment.
This is an aspect of harmonic resonance and its how the universe conspires through The Law of Attraction to bring like frequencies (of thought) to like frequencies. There are no accidents in the universe, everything that comes into our lives is invited there by our thoughts. How great is that?
Joy and Detachment
![]()
Creating our reality suggests that we are focused on those creations that will bring us happiness, and this is as it should be. However, happiness is a roller coaster since in this world of duality everything has its opposite. Nevertheless, there is a middle ground which we call Joy. Imagine a pin suspended between the opposite poles of a magnet – you probably did an experiment like this in school. That’s where joy can be found.
Joy is a state of supreme happiness that can be experienced even in the presence of pain and suffering. We’ll explore that more in another post, but for now lets look at HOW this perfect state of happiness is arrived at.
The state of joy is reached very simply by “detaching” ourself from the results of whatever it is we are creating or have created. This is not the same as indifference because indifference is a close relative of boredom – definitely not a state of joy.
When we identify with anything we are attached to it – we have a vested interest in it and we will swing between the poles of happiness and sadness, pleasure and pain as a result. This dance is fine for a while, even exciting but eventually, everyone reaches a state of mind where “the price of the low is too high for the high.”
Another very important factor related to detachment is the influence it has on the manifestation process of creating our reality. When we have an intention and put it out into the Universal Subjective Mind – The Unified Field – The Field of Infinte Possibilities, if we are deeply attached to or in need of that intention coming into our life, we add an element of fear to it. Its like planting a seed then going out into the garden every morning and digging it up to see how its coming along. Not a good gardening plan!
But how to be enthused or passionate about an intention, yet not being attached to it? Seem like a paradox – not really? The secret lies in the motive behind the intention. If your motive is in some way connected to the service of others it is in harmony with the most basic intention of the universe -”giving.” Why giving? Because there is only One in the universe and Oneness knows It can give only to Itself!
Thought and The Unified Field
“But I never asked for sickness!”
Perhaps you did not in so many words, but when we accept a thought such as, “Better watch out, its flu season…if your not careful you’ll catch your death of cold.”
This is a thought, which when accepted with casual belief as if its the gospel truth, places an order with the Unified Field which immediately goes to work bringing it into your experience. Unless you change your mind, perhaps by telling it that you will stay healthy if you get a flu shot and then go ahead and get the shot, you will in fact get the flu for certain. But its not the flu shot that kept you healthy…its your belief in it that kept you healthy.
The Unified Field does what it is told to do. In our microcosmic experience of this globally accepted fact, it is the subconscious mind that corresponds to the Universal Subjectivity of the universe. Whatever we think ‘into’ our subconscious mind – our individual Unified Field, and believe is possible, manifests in our life…in some way.
This means that everything is possible. It also means, we must be mindful of what thoughts we are consistently thinking about and accepting as true, because that is what our world will reflect back to us.
The Natural Flow
Anything we do that does not go with this basic universal flow is going against the Universal Will – against the universal order. On the short term this may appear possible but there is always a correction that brings the natural flow back on stream. We may believe for a time that we can focus our attention only on ourselves – even for many years – but eventually the natural flow straightens the crooked places like water finding its own level.
The focus of giving is part of the formula for getting because as part of the universal mind, we are working in harmony with the natural order when we direct our intentions with this understanding. Giving becomes an act of participating in the circle of receiving-giving-receiving-giving…which is endless. In some way then, our focus of creating our reality needs to include the extension of increased good for others to be part of the flow.
An interesting observation of this process is the fact that what we give out to our world does not always come back from the same place it was given. This fact in the creative process often leads to two mind-sets that are incorrect.
The first is that it sometimes feels like what we have extended out to our world does not always work because we don’t see results from that particular intention. The second error is that we appear to be lucky to have something good drop out of the blue from no where. Neither of these concepts is correct.
The reason lies within The Unified Field where all that flows into it is orchestrated perfectly for the highest good of all. What comes back to us from our intentions is always for the highest good of all and may return in a way that seems totally unrelated to our original intention. We do not see from the same perspective as the universal mind which has everything that IS at Its disposal, and it is this infinite knowing that manifests from our creative intentions things in ways that often do not seem related.
Nevertheless, there is no doubt the universe is unfolding perfectly.
