Holding A Candle Up to the Sun

"Grace is God’s gift of Itself as us" [Joel S. Goldsmith] … totally … now. We do not have to go anywhere or do anything but accept That as the Truth about ourselves and our fellow man, live in the direct experience of the Self-awareness of Pure Awareness, and “shock” every appearance which testifies to the contrary with the “electric current” of non-resistance, non-acceptance, non-engagement.  Only the false sense of self struggles. Only the false sense of “i” has something to struggle for or against. I AM has nothing to accomplish or overcome. Again, “Who am *I*?” Certainly not the perceptions, thoughts, sensations, which come and go like thieves in the night. I AM the infinite Sky in which the clouds of universal belief appear and disappear.

 Such is the “battle” between spirit and flesh, an illusory conflict which appears in the finite sense of mind, which is itself an illusion. The only I is “He that is within me who is greater than he that is in the world,” the I that will “never leave nor forsake” us, because there is no "us" besides I.. No struggle there, just IS-ness, Awareness, Joy. Can we consciously BE That in which all phenomena appear and disappear, including the sense of a “self”, needing to “become enlightened" which is a bit like holding a candle up to the blazing Sun, in order to illumine it?

“BE, BE, BE … there is nothing to thee but ME!”
