The Daily Lesson – August 22, 2018

“God is my abiding place, my home.
I live and move and have my being
in the secret place of the most High,
hidden from the world.

My body may be seen,
but not the I of my being because I live
in an inner awareness of God.
My body is out here walking and working in the world,
but I am not.

I am living in the temple that is within me,
the temple that is my consciousness.” 
~Joel S Goldsmith

The infinite Invisible Spirit of “I”
includes every Individual Expression of God.

AFTERNOON

Exquisite Silence

Sitting in my chair
there was a sudden, spontaneous awareness of exquisite Silence
 permeating the room.

It was a tangible Silence
pulling me inward - inviting me into its intimacy -
absorbing me...

Then mind said:
the faucet in the kitchen sink is broken,
gotta get a new faucet.

Silence silently said;
Follow Me...

Mind said: there are several piles of laundry
needing to be done.

Silence quietly said:
Be absorbed in Me...

Mind said: clean your house!

Silence merely said:
Be undisturbed...

And so I sat - within Exquisite Silence -
undisturbed, absorbed, at peace -
communing with Silence in silence...
sensing it, tasting it, feeling it,
experiencing it...
Delighting in the Silence of Being...
Like the way of "the ancients" - like Rumi
who knew the intimacy of the
Rhythm of Silence in his whirling...

Experiencing Exquisite Silence is
experiencing the presence of Pure Awareness,
the simple Isness of Being - just Being...
which is never disturbed by thought,
while thinking occurs  simultaneously...
It's just Beingness being what It is -
Silence...
touching you,
whispering to your Heart to come and be still -
to listen...

Exquisite Silence is the thread that runs through everything -
infusing all life with its Quietness...​

Following the Silence takes you to the Eternal Ocean of Being,
where Silence continuously rolls in upon ItSelf,
wave after wave...

What ecstasy to be absorbed in Exquisite Silence...
I didn't want to move from my chair,
but to move only as Silence moved me...

Everything else can wait...

 Man (the masculine principle) and woman (the feminine principle)
represent two poles and these two poles are creative
because they make exchanges.
These exchanges may take place in the physical plane,
but they can also be made in the more subtle planes through speech,
thought or with the eyes,
and they are just as vital
​ as those made with food and drink
when eating and with air when breathing.

If men and women were taught the art of making exchanges,
they would always be happy and totally fulfilled.
But since most lack this art, they become poisoned,
or they die of hunger and thirst,
or they suffocate.

You might ask,
‘So how should we go about making such exchanges?’

Well, just as we do with the sun.
The sun is far away, high up in the sky,
and the exchanges we make with it take place in the subtle etheric plane,
with its heat and its light.​

If you went up there and embraced the sun,
you would be burnt,
so you must embrace it with your gaze,
through thought and feeling.​

And if humans could also be content
with simply embracing each other from afar,
their love would become poetic and vitalizing.

When we touch the place of stillness
that occurs before our world begins,
we can gain a kind of clarity that's not possible
when we are caught
in old patterns of thinking and movement that
we have inherited and continue to reinforce.
Practice makes life fresh.
