No Thought – the Next Step

When I am present with whatever is present with me, I am free of judgments, beliefs, and opinions. Everything around me just is. I am at peace. I can allow everything to be as it is, and still bring conscious intent to change things in my life without anger, resentment or blame.

I do what I need to do, even as I observe the situation from an accepting viewpoint, without malice or rancor. I am awake in Presence. I am beyond opinions of how things should be. I am neither for nor against anything. This is Peace.

In these moments I am rested and rejuvenated. It seems the more moments I spend in the Now, the more I slow the biological aging process. We grow old, stiff, and rigid, fraught with illness before our time. Yet this is just a noticing, without blame.

Observe the people in your world. Those who are frequently sick or have a chronic illness, may be suffering from rigid opinions. There are things in their life about which they are adamant. Notice their faces. Are they wearing a mask that hardly ever cracks into a smile? Or amusement in their eyes? Opinions may be keeping them a prisoner of time, wearing out their bodies faster than those who live more in the moment, without opinions.

Phineas Pankhurst Quimby, a New England clockmaker and healer at the end of the 19th Century, knew that there was an opinion behind every illness. People flocked to him to be cured of all sorts of ailments. He questioned his patients as to what they thought about this or that. When he hit a nerve, so to speak, anger usually came out, for others weren’t doing what the sick person thought they should or shouldn’t be doing.

When “Dr” Quimby could get his patient to change his or her mind about whatever was bothering to an attitude of acceptance, the illness would miraculously disappear. After all, the thing that was annoying them really was none of their business, and the body was resisting the anger or resentment by getting sick.

Look around at the amount of acceptance and allowing others show. Do the people who hold strong opinions about the world, their neighbor, or “those folk” seem to be aging? Do you see a connection between attitude and the quality of life? Look at yourself. Are you are mostly allowing things to be as they are, without judgment?

Wake up to the truth of a loving, accepting existence and be free of illness, living longer and happier lives. Truth is only in the present moment. All else is simply the remembered past or the imagined future. Neither is real. Past and future exist only in the thinking mind; you can only live in the present.

Humanity is awakening to its spiritual magnificence, even as you read this.
