Dear Bill,
This is written in the light of polite debate. I am sure what you feel is real for you.
But it is not saying much to me, and perhaps a few others. The problem I see is that
it promotes a belief that nothing has to be done, that people are beings of light and we shall over come.
I totally agree the we more than flesh and blood, and that in essence we are enlightened.
But there 'is' much work to be done. The New Age vocabulary seems to be promoting a
life style of 'I am in love the universe”. A promotion of – it's all about 'me' and my feeling.
This just fixates on self cherishing, and binds one to a small self with big concepts.
If people are too sensitive to discussion this then they know they are not on firm ground.
If ones hackles rise in any way, that means there is an ego there to be defended.
I fact we should be grateful for this, to help strip away the sticky confusion surrounding consciousness.
Wishing you all the best,
Tony
Also in the light of polite debate
People who are new to deep spiritual teachings are easily confused.
It is impossible to do nothing.
This is a clear example of how spiritual teachings are distorted.
The action of non action means you let your higher self act through you.
In order for this level of spiritual vibration to function there has to be humility.
There has to be a complete surrender to the will of God.
It is the state spoken of by Jesus.
The Father and I are one---It is the Father within who is the doer--- of myself I do nothing.
The Sage the late Ramesh Balsekar explained this and similar ancient teachings with great clarity and simplicity.
He said. Just try and sit there and do nothing.
If it is in accordance with Cosmic Law The WiIl of God your Karma then thats what happens.
In other words it never happens that you sit and do nothing.
Rumi said
I am a hole in the flute that the Christ breath flows through listen to the music
That is surrender to the will of God and humility
His words are still being quoted 100s of years after his death.
It is down to spiritual energy and power.
Its like asking a mouse to pull a log that an elephant lifts effortlessly.
The spiritual power of Gandhi came from devotion to God via humility and surrender.
To some humility can look like a weakness, anger can look like strength.
Not so.
Check the history of Gandhi and see what he achieved through non violence, meditation, and spiritual non-action which is extremely powerful.
Its a question of spiritual power focusing--- that spiritual power requires much work to develop, before it is truly effective as non-action.
Namaste
