Thresholds always involve the Unknown. Breathroughs always involve the Unexpected. Creation requires trust, whether It gets it or not.

 

Do you see what this means? It means it is impossible to be confident in any capacity you personally have regarding “what is going to happen.” You have no choice or control, nor can you ever calculate outcomes ahead of time, which is exactly why Creation is forever new . . . whether you like it or not.

 

Do you see that this is The Answer and not the “problem”? Do you see that without the forever element of surprise there would be no Life to have an explanation for . . . the absence of which is the definition of unconsciousness . . . nonexistence?

 

Do you also see that I am not legitimizing or promoting fatalism? I am not saying, “Whatever will be, will be. Take the good with the bad, and stop complaining!”

 

No, I am not saying that! 

 

Death in any form is not Life. Dying is not in any way a Life process. There is not even a hint of lifelessness in Life, and therefore it CANNOT be the ABSENCE of Life which introduces the contrasts which are necessary to give definition to Consciousness. Death does not say, “Behold!”  It does not make all things new! 

 

Opposites are not

nor have they ever been 

the fundamental elements
of Reality . . .

 but infinite expression 

always has.

 

And so, when you do feel discouraged, when you feel at a loss, incapable or inadequate because you don’t know what to do—and what “has been” no longer appears to identify fulfillment—these feelings inform you that you have become preoccupied with yourself as a “self” with a mind which is supposed to have acquired “knowledge” to use for providing order where order is absent. And that means that you are at a disadvantage, because your self-centered attention is no longer available where discovery awaits. 

 

It’s as simple as this: When you feel at a loss, it is because what appears to be an impossible situation seems to be making a statement about you, instead of being recognized as That which is calling for curiosity and trust because Creation is occurring without regard to a “you” which you have on your mind!

 

And again: The Answer  which is being interpreted as “the problem” is that Life is “on the move,” making all things new and, in so doing, arousing the experience of Consciousness on a new basis—being nothing less than fulfillment interminably full-filling Itself as Life in fairer form!

 

One can understand the import of this even more fully as he realizes that “Life on the move” requires being yielded to.

 

This is not because there is resistance to It, but because It is, Itself, the “Coming-Into-Existence” of the Conscious Experience of Being, and this Conscious Experience of Being is already complete . . . before a single thought occurs! 

 

As you read these words, which are being stated for the first time ever in eternity, and you experience their meanings for the first time as the Conscious Experience of Being . . . Creation, “behold, I make all things new,” has happened . . . and It and You have been the Whole of It, the “fairer form” Itself, which didn’t need a “you” to figure out a single thing!

 

The benefit of what I’m sharing with you in these words, rests like a jewel in the Awareness of the fact that the “you” which plans and calculates and seeks to make a good impression . . . the “thinker” who believes he can “do well” or “fail”. . . has played no part in what is here for you to see . . . relieving you of false responsibility! 

 

And why? 

 

Because entirely apart from any thoughts which might have formed as you were reading this, Creation has been happening, surprising you with the discovery that Truth, indeed, does set you free, because It is a Gift inherent in Creation, and is not the evidence of some competence or strength you have. As this Gift of grace sinks in, it fills one up with gratitude because the struggle of accomplishment is gone, undoing its attraction.

 

Oh, that you might just neglect to ever have another thought or an opinion or a need to make a good or powerful impression, so that you might instead, innocently and simply, and forever be the presence of Mind which does not separate Itself from the Conscious Experience of That-Which-Has-Never-Been-Before by trying to create It from scratch or adding a personal twist to It.

 

The ultimate is utterly simple.
