Our Native Disposition

Look not unto each other for the happiness that is wished for, happiness will never be found there. Look not unto each other for the love that is so earnestly sought, love will never be found there. Look not unto each other for the security and safety that seems to be necessary, they will not be found there either. Yes, indeed, as the world would define happiness, as it defines love, security and safety, a measure of these will be found in the world of otherness. But these are not the real love and happiness, not the real security and safety that are found as one's own Self fulfillment and Identity. They are not the Everlasting and always present Presence that is our birthright and inheritance. Until we are willing to make no exception that only Love is real, willing to make no exception knowing that we can change our mind in each and every situation and see only the innocence of every being, we will live on the swinging pendulum of seeking pleasure and avoiding pain. We will be like the tides of an ocean never still, always on the move, seeking for stillness but never finding it.

The stillness and peace of mind that we are seeking is found in the Child's willingness to believe that Love, happiness, security and safety are right here, right now, the Truth of Identity. It is uncovered in our willingness to choose to listen to the voice of the Child (Holy Spirit) We are. We make no exceptions and give no value to any image, any form, that seems to appear in our time space experience. The only purpose of this dream world experience is to offer to "others" what it is that we want to find for and as ourselves. We come to recognize and know that only innocence is before us as other and self. We learn and then discern that only one Self Is. This is the practice that we return to over and over again, seeing only the Good/God/Innocence in Everything until it becomes our way of being.  And then we behold in amazement and gratitude that It is True, by God, It is true, and the practice of many years starts to disappear and becomes our native disposition and the Way of The Child. With grace, and as the grace of God, we arrive and find that which we were seeking has always been here as our Self.
