Abiding

"How different Knowledge is, which needs neither force nor violence, which needs neither deception nor dominance. Its persuasion is that it is entirely natural to you. It is the absolute essence of everything that is meaningful to you. It comes silently. It lives within you. It awaits the moment when you can begin to accept it. It offers itself at moments of great decision. It comforts you with its silence and reassurance. It abides with you. As you learn to abide with it, come to it, seek it out and learn how to receive it, respond to it and use it, then you become its recipient. Others will shrink away, fearful and doubtful, but you will come forward because Knowledge in you brings you to Knowledge in life. That which is true in you brings you to that which is true in life. The essence of you comes to the essence of life, for there is not only Knowledge within you, there is Knowledge within everything."

"You have Knowledge within you, waiting to be discovered."

"Knowledge only speaks at certain times. It is waiting for the moments of readiness, when the conditions are right, the audience is right and the need is there."

"You have a Spiritual Family that is waiting to prepare you, to activate your spiritual life and your Knowledge while you are here in the world."

"Your Teachers stand by while you go through everything. Most of it is quite boring to them, but they are waiting for the opportunity, and they are providing you with the quality of love and the orientation that you will never find in the world."

"Knowledge knows what you need and what you don’t need. If you can open yourself to Knowledge, wait for Knowledge and abide with Knowledge, then you will have an opportunity to know where to draw the line for yourself."

"At times the way seems lonely and uncertain, but something in you is guiding you forward. Here you must follow a greater calling, a calling you cannot understand, a calling you have not yet learned to appreciate, a calling whose trials and tribulations, though seemingly large in the moment, are in fact small compared to the greater rewards awaiting you."

"When you learn stillness, you learn to act with great determination, and you also learn to wait for what stimulates great determination."

"The only difficulty is when your Knowledge is in conflict with what you want. Then Knowledge must wait."

"The Teachers have a very difficult job, very difficult. That is why they have so few students. They must contribute to a very insane situation and set of circumstances. They must do this single-mindedly, with great patience and compassion. They must allow their beloved students to create calamity after calamity. They do not promote this, yet if that is the students’ ambition, who can prevent them? Therefore, we discourage things that are obviously detrimental, yet we do not control or manipulate our students. That is not our function. Our true ability and resources are only waiting for others to call upon them. For this, we may have to wait a long time, a very long time."
