You don’t have to work against anyone. You are with all at all times. It doesn’t matter how you feel at the moment. It doesn’t matter how things appear on the surface. Still, you are with all, in opposition to no one. This is you as you truly are. To experience something that seems to contradict that is to want to experience something that seems to contradict that. Dissolve out of your wanting, and everything you thought was wrong with that one over there dissolves along with it.
The purpose of a day is to fall out of the projection of fear and into the extension of love. The projection of fear seems normal and expected. This does not make it real. That the projection of fear provides you with very real-seemiing experiences that, effectively are your reality is not in doubt. However, this seeming reality does not have to continue as it seems to have done. It can be interrupted.
When you face toward your loving Source as soon as you notice that you have strayed into fear and resistance, you are resting in the extension of love. Practice this, and allowing the extension of love becomes normal and natural. It never becomes a burden or an obligation. It shows up to you as a reminder of your very Self. More and more, you wish to be reminded of your shared Self rather than your separate self, so your reality takes the form that complies with your wishes.
It can help to remember that any two you look upon–what they are is united. The ego will send thoughts that tell you otherwise, and these are precisely the thoughts you should notice and set down. The temptation to analyze and compare the forms you are seeing and experiencing can be great. With practice, however, you remember that accepting ego’s analysis thoughts about anyone or anything means giving yourself a limited or constricted experience of yourself. No one in their right mind chooses this.
You don’t have to prepare to receive what is already here. What is already here within your shared mind is available to all. It’s just that you have been so distracted by the forms and emotional states ego offers that it has been difficult to slow down and notice what actually is here under all the distracting superficial layers. What is always here is actual love, not the love ego says you need or lack, not the love ego says you have failed to give to another in enough abundance. What is here is here permanently, and nothing the ego could appear to do or say could change that, ever.
As you learn to listen quietly, you can be told quietly. As you go along, one thing comes into prominence. Where you turn your attention is very important. As you learn to rest quietly in what you are with all you call other, you begin to hear the voice of guidance. This voice makes it very easy and obvious to do and say as it instructs, but you must be very quiet to hear it. The more you associate following the guidance of this voice with happiness, the more you value resting in quiet and allowing that quiet to be.
Here in the stillness is everything you could ever need. Your experience will show you this is so.
