Teachings of the Brotherhoods of Light Workers
Staying in the Moment
by Judi Thomases
The following segment has been received, word for word through a psychic process known as channeling. It is an invited procedure. The teachings always serve to guide us through the journey of life.
In the first place, the thing to do is to not waiver. To remain steady. To not move the point (focus) of attention hither and thither, for it is no small task to conduct the mind in this fashion. A solid and unwavering mind is the ticket to greatness. There are several advantages to learning how this must be accomplished, and to putting it into practice.
As we say, the first thing is to remain steady. What does this mean?
Thoughts are what waiver. Thoughts are very much of the nature of pure energy. Thoughts contain words or symbols that have meaning to the conscious mind. Thoughts therefore are an accumulation - sometimes even a jumble - of such particulars. Lumped together, the thought becomes a thing, and follows its energy path here and there. For instance, a thought may be of another person, of a task, of a desire, and so forth, each of which has a target contained within the substance of the thought. And so there is a trajectory: the thought wants to move from Point A to Point B. This can accomplish nothing other than moving the mind, distracting the one-pointed location, carrying it elsewhere.
And so thoughts are what must be considered or addressed. Even in our words here, we are attempting to move the mind from not knowing to understanding, all contained within the meaning, and that is also movement or trajectory.
To be still means to calm thoughts and to literally put them aside. It seems incredible that this is possible. How can one exist without a continual stream of these thoughts (mental energies) moving? But it is very possible. It is always the point or achievement of the mind of a master.
One-pointedness, as often suggested, is arrived at by the repetition of a word (mantra) or a prayer (rosary), and even by a concentration upon the breath (Mahayana Buddhism). All well and good! But success is even easier if one can simply dissolve each thought as it coalesces. Being still, then, is a prize! It is reaching a goal. It is Nirvana.
Once one has achieved thoughtlessness - not in the sense of selfish inconsideration, but only in the sense of pure being - one arrives instantaneously and without further effort at a place described, for want of a better term, as The Now.
Being in The Now is being of the moment. All sounds, all sensory input, all occurrences affect you not, for you sit (stand, lie, walk) in a place of pure being, a pinpoint of time and space without attributes, even without you! For without thoughts, you are not there. You cease to be.
A different You arrives instead. A vast knowing, a pure awareness without identity... simply presence. This is how "You" stays in the moment, and becomes serene.
