The Spirit of God comes upon you as you release all mortal thought. You will know that you have moved to complete awareness when your heart functions as your center of knowing rather than your mind. You feel rather than think. There exists a yin/yang relationship of stasis between your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Similarly there is a balance between mind and heart or thinking and feeling. In your ordinary awareness your thinking mind appears to dominate your actions. The tasks of doing appear to supersede simply being and thinking appears to dominate feeling. In spirit, or in your conscious awareness of the presence of God within, your heart overtakes your mind as your center of intelligence. You move from acting and doing to conscious awareness of the truth beyond material sense. As strategy is the father of tactical action so consciousness begets material sense. To seek first in heaven and allow all things to follow, or be added unto you is to know the source of all that you experience. Here you capture the essence of “be still and know that I am God.” Now you may lay down all forms of defense and attack. You may abide in the secret place of the most high, for no evil can come neigh they dwelling place. Never again can you lack or separate from all that is, for The Source itself is within you, awaiting only your awareness – still your mind and allow the heart to function fully as your center of feeling and knowing. This activates the awareness of the Father within. You now move from tactical to strategic, from doing to being, from action to non-action. You become aware of Patanjoli’s aphorism of steadfast abstention from falsehood creating the fruits of good deeds without doing those deeds yourself. You know as Christ did “it is the Father that does the work.” Now the phrase “I go before you to straighten the crooked road” has new meaning and Grace becomes your experience of life.

Your mind is central to your functioning in the body but it is the heart that houses your soul, the center of your being and the connection to the One. Today allow your mind to function at the level of tasks but realize with every beat of your heart and every breath you take know that I am ever with thee and that I know your needs before you do. Know that I perform the tasks assigned to you to do. Now the consciousness of the One operates in you, through you and the peace of God is upon you and is functioning through you. There is nothing you can not do in this state of awareness. Allow this to be your truth and your gift to this world.
