BEINGNESS I think the word that describes God better than any other single word is “Beingness.” God is all Beingness. We are all Beingness pretending we are a tiny part of It, a limited body-mind. When you look within, you will see that you are all Beingness. Beingness is God! Beingness is also Awareness Consciousness. They are the same thing. Later on, you’ll see them as identical: Beingness, Awareness Consciousness. So be your Self and there never will be a problem. Seeing a problem in the world is trying to be a limited ego-body-mind. If you think you have a problem, you do. If you will just accept that God is All, God is Perfect, that that is all there is, and look at Perfection, that is all you will ever meet with! You have to wipe out the words “problem,” “can’t,” “don’t,” “won’t,” — all negative words. In the future when man is in a state of harmony, these words will disappear. The higher you go, the more you see the Perfection and therefore the less you see problems. The more one sees problems, the lower one is. What everyone talks about is problems. The people who see them want you to see the way they see, and will tell you that you are wrong. This is one thing you must be on guard against. As you grow, those who are not up to you will try to pull you down to where they are. Let them think you are wrong. You know you are right. Do not argue. It is fruitless. It is not how much you recognize a problem that shows unselfishness. It is how much you see that there is no problem, and help others see that there is only Perfection that shows unselfishness. This way you offer help; you’re very constructive and unselfish. You just feel love — you do not necessarily have to do anything. Love — and your thoughts are positive. Thought is far more powerful than action. It is the basis of and effects action. It is the initiator. It comes before and determines action. A realized being sitting in a cave somewhere all by himself is doing more good for the world than organizations of action. He is aiding everyone, as his help is being subconsciously received by all. Now we are back to what we were talking about before: the bottom state is inaction, the middle state is action, the top state is inaction. The bottom state is one of apathetic inertia. It’s destructive. It just wants to stop everything, actually destroy everything. The top state lets everything be just the way it is because everything is perfect, and anyone in this state powerfully projects this mentally to everyone. The middle state is the action state which moves you from the bottom toward the top state of equilibrium and tranquility. As you move up, those who are not as far along as you are will try to pull you down to where they are. It is sort of a proving ground, or a testing, to see how much those things bother you. It tests your conviction. Where is your conviction if you go with them? If you go with them, your tendency is to believe more the way they do. KEYS TO BEINGNESS Desire for ego approval makes it seem easier to go along with the world. You will find out otherwise. You have been one of the mob, haven’t you? You’ve been like them. It’s not easy. No, the right way is easier. Do you see that? The right way is letting go and letting God and then everything falls into line perfectly — no effort. But when you have to do it, it is not God — it is you, the ego, wanting to do, to change things, correct this world, and so forth. Some people ask if a mantram or something like that is the best thing to remember when these things come up that way? Affirmations are always good. A mantram is an affirmation that’s repeated again and again. It is even more effective, however, to let go of your ego reactions. So, do whatever will help you to do and be what you think you should do and be. Seek who and what you are, know your Self. This is the very best thing to do and be. There have been moments when you have let go and felt your real Self. How does it feel? You could have it all the time. Stay that way that’s all. Be what you are! You are infinite, omniscient, omnipotent, right here and now. Be That! Stop being this limited, miserable, little ego. If you want to help the world the most, help yourself grow, and you will do far more than you could by being involved in the world. The more you are capable of loving, the more you are helping the world. Parliaments cannot right the world, but enough people loving can. The President of the United States must necessarily represent the sum total consciousness, the sum total thinkingness, of all the people of the United States added together. The world out there is only our collective consciousness. The principle is that divine law supersedes man-made law. Consciousness, thinkingness determine everything. So if we do not like what’s happening to us in the world all we have to do is change our consciousness — and the world out there changes for us! There’s no end to problems in the world. If you try to find the end you go on and on forever and ever solving problems in the world and you will always find more and more. As long as you are conscious of problems, they exist. Only when you discover the real you, will you discover an end to problems. It is as if you put your hand in a fire and say, “Ouch, it’s hot! My hand is burning! Boy, do I have a problem!” And then put your hand back in the fire and so on and so on. Until one day you see that you are doing it and you stop. If you have a problem, you’re putting your hand into a problem and yelling, “It hurts!” and acting as though you’re not putting your hand into it. You act as though you are not doing it. But you are. So that problem is in your consciousness. It is in your mind. Change your mind, change your consciousness and immediately that problem is gone. Try it and you’ll see that it’s so. And when you are by yourself, stop being what you are not, a limited body and mind, and just be what you are — an infinite, totally free, grand and glorious being, whole and complete DO ONTO OTHERS AS YOU WILL ACCEPT THEM IN RETURN.

Having them does it. The fact that she has troubles is proof that she does not have the conviction of God because God is All, God is Perfect; and if God is All and God is Perfect, everything must be perfect, and that leaves no place for imperfection or troubles.If you take that attitude, so be it! It is the feeling that I am not the doer and that I let go and let it happen. How can we tell when we’re being the ego? > > >When there’s no effort, there’s no ego. The more the effort, the more the ego. So, when the effort is extreme, you have to more or less go the other way anyway. The more the effort, the greater the ego. However, you are going to use effort until you are fully realized. Now, there will be times when you will use no effort and everything will fall perfectly into line for you; at these times you will be your Self.Of course, some people are afraid that this type of thing makes you indolent. But, indolence is an action, a negative action. It is the act of holding oneself from moving. > > >THE ACTION-LESS STATE > > >To achieve the actionless state, you begin by letting go of your ego more and more. You do this because under present conditions, you cannot do it totally. If you could, you would be fully realized. But if you keep letting go of the ego, you will eventually drop it, and then you will be the witness rather than the doer. Does this make sense? > > >Be not the doer. Let it happen. It’s God’s world, whatever is happening, let Him do it! Still the question arises, “How do we get rid of problems?” >First, you must realize that the moment you say, “I have a problem,” you are stuck; you are making it real! You cannot get rid of the problem, because you are making it real. You have got it. This does not mean that when you have problems you should say, “There is no problem at all,” and the problem will vanish. > > >If you say, “There is no problem,” they won’t vanish because you’re saying, “There is no problem.” You are mentally holding the problem in mind and therefore sustaining it. Instead, you must erase the problem from your mind. Let it go. Know that everything is perfect; then the problem becomes necessarily non-existent. You see, life can be totally effortless. There is no effort in life whatsoever when we are being our natural Self. But we’re trying to be a limited ego and that takes effort. It takes effort to be limited when your natural state is unlimited. The more you try to be limited, the more effort it takes. To be your unlimited Self takes no effort, just like the woman I talked about earlier. When she gets to the extreme, she lets go and everything straightens out — with no effort. When she tries and tries, things get worse and worse. But when she gives up and lets go, things resolve. Still people ask, “Doesn’t she have to go out and look for a job? Doesn’t she have to go to an agent? She can’t just sit down and wait.”And I say all she has to do is to let go and let God. Then, even if she has locked herself in a chamber somewhere, the things would have come to her. > > >LETTING GO OF DOER-SHIP >You do not sit down and wait — you do not do anything. Just let go of the sense of doership. You just know that everything is perfect and then the slightest thought you have will come into being quickly. There’s no limitation on God, on the Self. Whatever you think will come into being if you let go, because you are invoking your infinite power, God, your Self. Nothing can stop it! You do not have to struggle to get some action. In fact, it’s just the opposite. Lock yourself in a chamber and pad-lock it and if you will do what I am saying, you will find that what you want will be effected. It has to be. Nothing can stop it! Omnipotence is invoked! If this is true, then what is prayer for? What does praying mean? Praying is for those who need praying. When you know what you know — to whom are you praying? If you are That, why do you have to pray to It? > > >Praying admits duality. “I” pray to “God.” Instead, maintain your Oneness! However, when one does pray, it is best to pray for one thing only. Pray for more wisdom, so that you eliminate all need for any prayer, for any asking. Most people in the world today need to pray. But prayer admits duality; God is out there. And we should know that God is within. Even though Jesus said, “The Kingdom of God is within,” we still look for God without, and He’s not out there —He’s only within. He turns out to be our very own Beingness. > > >The “I” of us, with nothing added to it, is the God we seek. When you say “I am something” that isn’t It, that isn’t God. But just pure “I” and only “I”, — that is God. That is why it is said that God is closer than flesh. It is “I” and how close is “I?” It’s closer than flesh. It is God, your very own Self! Just hold on to the word “I” only. “I...” and you’ll become more exhilarated. Try it when you’re alone. Just “I...” and not “I am a body, I am a mind,” but “I...” that is Being. > >DO ONTO OTHERS AS YOU WILL ACCEPT THEM IN RETURN.
