MORE ABOUT THINKING

Again we are asked, "How does one stop thinking?"

We don't: we stop being a personal thinker, to be Awareness itself. Awareness is the thinking of Deity. We can only stop trying to be a thinker on our own and acknowledge Isness as the all of Consciousness; hence, the all of thinking and thought.

We "stop all thinking" as though we were an identity who possesses Awareness. We stop all thinking as if we were a personal judge of the images contained within Awareness. We stop planning and calculating as a personal thinker to be Awareness alone and only.

Awareness is the "witnessing." "Be a faithful witness," says the Christ. Be this alone. How? Become mindful of the Heart, the only place any of this makes sense. From out of the Heart comes the first beam of light to penetrate the dark personality's nothingness. Shortly, we find our entire experience to be Awareness in action. Then we see whatever is seen, without judgment and without fear---because Awareness need not (cannot) fear what Awareness is.

Only Isness presents itself to be witnessed, and only Isness is present to witness itself. The beholding, the witnessing, is this Awareness I am. (And you are reader.) Deity witnessing is being this Identity.

Thoughts continue to come to us concerning everything, but they are happy thoughts and complete. They are no longer involved with ponderous planning and calculating nor with human reason and logic. They are God's thought, not "ours": yes "we" are the happy Awareness of an infinitude of thoughts and ideas as surely as we are the awareness of the qualities and attributes ("things") which transcendent Being is being.
