I will be still a moment and go home.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe need to experience silence as a living presence which is primordial and primal in itself.\u201d<\/em> ~ Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, 7-1-2024, cac.org.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I resonated this morning with Fr. Richard speaking of silence as having presence. Does this presence, that is in silence, relate to our inner child of defenselessness and innocence? I think yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sense the spark of God within me is the touch of Love consciousness that is my root. As humans we could interpret this part of us as innocent as it is separate from the false mind which honors intelligence that is of this world. We tend to label others that don\u2019t think about the world like we do as childish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That innocent part within has not desire to achieve in this world. It doesn\u2019t want to compete to be the smartest or the best. It doesn\u2019t even care if it is seen as a good girl or boy. Its desire is to be in loving presence of Mother-Father God — to be home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBe still and instant and go home with Him, and be at peace a while.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

7-1-2023<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe holy Child remains with you \u2026Today He gives you His defenselessness and you accept it in exchange for all the toys of battle you have made.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I got \u2018still an instant\u2019 and went into meditation, my contemplation word was \u2018defenselessness\u2019. This morning I am not feeling it as strongly as I did for lesson 172.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I envisioned my body being battered; the light shown out. I knew this wasn\u2019t the right image. It\u2019s about dropping our defenses to find our original innocence.  When I dropped the thoughts, seeking out defenselessness, there was just my heart shining like the Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Child in me, as me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDefenselessness is strength. It testifies to recognition of the Christ in you.\u201d<\/em> L156:P6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7-1-2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I did this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vision:  The line, \u2018And now the way is open, and the journey has an end in sight at last\u2019, touched me so I got still. I saw myself on a path following my inner child. Ahead we could see a great light. She was so excited to get going, pulling my hand. I felt a heavy body as well as excuses forming in my mind as to why we had to take it slow. I recognized these feelings of resistance, so I asked to allow my child\u2019s energies to lead the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She turned into a ball of light and so did I. Within an instant we were inside the Light\/Sun that was ahead of us. My child immediately danced and played within the Light with other innocent lights. I moved closer to the big center where I felt peace, not wanting to be in the midst of the frolicking. The center Sun\u2019s voice asked me why I was not playing. My mind began to say, \u2018I\u2019m tired\u2019 but I stopped, knowing I would lower my energy and drop away. I stopped at \u2018I am\u2019. But I wanted more, I wanted to be filled with the Love parts. I allowed this and felt great gratitude and awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is right. It is beauty. It is all well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I told myself this about the Earth life. I asked if I could share this with all humanity. I got an approval so sent out my message. I sensed resistance and disapproval from some. I didn\u2019t let it come back by just accepting that the human can choose to hear the message or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I asked all of the cells of my body to hear and know the message. I then received a hug from the great central Sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this I felt like dancing and playing. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
