“What seems to be happening right now has got nothing to do with you… it’s just happening. Nobody owns anything here.”
-Nkosi
MICHAEL: This includes ALL thoughts… including the current one. Thoughts don’t belong to any one. The one who thinks they are theirs cannot be found. ❤
Innocence isn’t lost… it’s all there IS
This, Wholeness, What IS… appears to move yet never goes anywhere
-Michael Jeffreys
Love is the end of the possibility of specialness.
-Tim Cliss
MICHAEL: What’s a me to do if everything’s already special?
Even puppy knows Wholeness isn’t a doing. 🙂
3 from yesterday’s Zoom private:
“Try to suffer without a story.”
“There’s ONLY Wholeness… and every story is about trying to GET Wholeness!?”
“It doesn’t matter what you do… Wholeness is already the case.”
-Michael
p.s.
“The whole message is THIS is already what’s longed for.
Unspeakably, unknowably. How could that be a process?”
-Jim Newman
BEING PRESENT WITH WHATEVER IS HERE/NOW
It’s our inability to be present with what is, however it’s appearing, that’s the cause of our suffering. This includes thinking. You can either drift off into past-future with thinking, i.e., go along with the thought, or you can be present with whatever thought is currently arising. See the difference?
As Awareness you’re clear that you’re simply witnessing a thought, which came and will go. Whereas as the imaginary “me” you go along with the thought and into another dream of what’s not happening. When you catch yourself getting lost in thought, simply bring your attention back to here/now.
Awareness never goes anywhere. Mind is always changing. Stay home. Be present with whatever is here. It’s ALL you… give your love to everything and see what happens.

HEARING FROM LOVE
“But, you say, suppose you have not yet reached the stage where you are able actually to hear a voice speaking within and to know it as one assuming to teach or lead you.
Know that it is not an actual voice such
as your physical ears hear that speaks; for
are not every desire, every urge, every hope,
longing, fear, discouragement, anxiety, regret,
voices heard just as surely and effectively
as audible voices?
And while all such are voices I use to
teach you the right from the wrong way,
yet My Voice, that you long so to hear and
to be always sure is Mine, you will never
truly hear and know until you let Love
abide and rule in your heart.
For Love alone can clear away that in your heart and consciousness which causes you to listen to the voice of self, thus preventing your hearing Me when I speak.”
-Joseph S. Benner
(from, Brotherhood)
“If you want to have a quiet mind, don’t listen.” -Stuart Schwartz
MICHAEL: Silent night, holy night…Silent mind, holy mind… Silent mind, peaceful mind.
Merry Christmas, Love and Peace to Everyone!! xoxo
(The ripples in the ever peaceful water represent your thoughts.)
There are thoughts in the personal mind, but no peace.
There is peace in the impersonal mind, but no thoughts.
Michael Jeffreys
FEELING, rather than thinking about, THOUGHTS
The energy of a critical or judgmental thought is the same, whether it’s directed at ourselves or someone else. Either way it’s a movement away from LOVE, away from PRESENCE, away from BEING, away from our timeless TRUE NATURE.
