Let Go and Know PeaceThe thought nature does not know its own captive state, any more than a barnacle on a boat knows that it can't move itself from the hull of one ship to another. Its darkened nature can only imagine freedom; never know it. But our true nature is created to know the very movements of Heaven within itself, which is why we need to discover what is working within us that has us so anchored in time and space. Perhaps the analogy that follows, a simple situation common to us all, will help us better see into our present situation as well as show us how to escape its hold. Have you ever sat in your living room, with sunlight streaming through a window, and seen, suspended in the light, all of those thousands of dust particles? If it helps, imagine this scene now. In your mind it should look something like this: Before you, actually all around you, is this light; within it, sitting virtually suspended are countless tiny particles of dust. Now, with this image in mind, what is it that we look at? While the light itself (that makes these particles visible) remains invisible, our attention is drawn to consider the dancing particles. Here is the reason for this action: We don't see the light that makes it possible for us to see the particles themselves because our present nature can only know itself in relationships based upon "particularity." It is only conscious of individual forms instead of their relationship within the whole. And the inherent limitations of this level of self have become our lamentations. But it need not remain this way. Within each of us, in our hearts and in our minds there lives a special kind of Light. In truth, it is everywhere. And to carry out the last analogy a bit further, there are thoughts suspended in this silently illuminated space. But, as we are learning, instead of seeing the beautiful Stillness that reveals the movement of these passing thoughts (and feelings), we grab on to each and every single one that passes through it.
