Click For Audio: You Just Know
Still the intellect for the time being, and let universal Mind speak to you; and when it speaks, though it be but a “still small voice,” you will know that what it says is Truth. How will you know? You will know just as you know that you are alive. -Emilie Cady
When I was very young I remember asking my mother how I would know when I met the discount australia cialis online person that I could spend my life with. She said, “You just know.” She was right. In a sense, I asked Emilie Cady the same question about God and she gave me the same answer: “You will know just as you know that you are alive.”
As I first began sitting in silence, turning my attention to the inner Presence, I would often experience inspirational thoughts that made me wonder if these were not the “voice” of God. Over time a new experience began to emerge that made me aware of the distinction between my thoughts, my hopes, and a living essence that I knew, without question, to be a stream of life-energy from on high.
While we are looking for voices and visions, Spirit touches us in silence, when our minds are turned away from all preconceived notions as to what to expect in the way of an encounter with the integrape.com.br order kamagra now Divine. God is Spirit, and Spirit is not a foreign substance that comes to us from afar. Even our surface preconceptions are forged from spiritual elements drawn from within but fashioned from the directions of others. We move beyond these mental and emotional idols to that very natural, innermost sanctuary where, free from the effort of seeking, we find that which has been with us all along.
The key to finding God is in letting go of what we are expecting to find. You will not find a thundering presence. You will find a gentle, moving essence that you will know as the self-sustaining life of your being. Jesus compared it to living water which, “will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (Jn. 4:14). When Spirit touches your mind, you understand this metaphor, just as you know that you are alive.
