A Lesson on Stillness (1).

A Thought Adjuster Speaks - Lesson # 49
February 19, 2004.

Today I desire to teach you a lesson on Stillness. (The word is capitalized due to its importance.) It is not just the Stillness of your prayers. If you would sit awhile longer in a prayerful attitude, I would get a chance to give you an answer. Here lies the problem for you as humans; when you pray for ‘something,’ you never sit still for long enough to listen and hear an answer. This is the reason why it is so difficult to ‘hear’ because you don’t train yourself in this as you are too beset with the busy-ness of life. Life would become so much easier if you would develop a calm demeanor, which, again, you can only develop in the Stillness of your heart.

Many hearts are becoming dis-eased because they are not at ease, but full of unrest. A restless heart lets you know that something is not quite right in the arena of emotional thought. The causes are often unresolved grief, unforgiveness, hurts, real or imagined, anger, bitterness, jealousy, feelings of helplessness and more. The heart never attacks but the cause of an attack is set in motion by the humans themselves. Of course the lack of sound, basic and adequate nutrition consisting of living foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds in their natural state can not be overlooked.

However, the main reason is still the restlessness within, a negative thought-stream, which finds itself expressed somewhere in the body as a maladjustment. Oh yes, I note your thinking: ‘What about genetics, don’t they play a role?’ Of course they do, but here again, even the DNA is influenced either favorably or unfavorable by the thinking pattern of the individual. Remember the phrase, ‘the sins of the parents are visited upon their children.’ Therefore, a negative attitude towards life does have its repercussions in offspring down the line. Similarly, when much fear is being inhaled by every breath the human takes, it will sooner or later have its repercussions.

The human psyche is very complex, but it is the attitude of the owner which influences this. You can now see, where I am going with the subject of Stillness. The younger a child is being taught to meditate, the sooner the habits are formed for a healthier life; a less stressful life, because it has learned to go into the Silence of its own inner heart-chamber to connect up with the Source of its being. And so the child develops a faith and trust in a benevolent Creator. Would that humans everywhere could make an effort to take time out from their stressful lives, and sit in a prayerfull attitude with an inner ear poised to ’hear’ an answer from their own Still Small Voice!

This would lead to a calmer demeanor as they learn to carry the Stillness as their auric energy field about them, become less frazzled, and the whole mental, emotional and physical system would then benefit by the cultivation of the spiritual part of themselves.
