If “something happens” that triggers my suspicions that I am “not a priority” to someone, or “not important” to someone, then I have a decision to make. I can either decide that they are to blame for my feelings of unimportance,

Or…….I can decide that I am the one, and only one, who is, and who will ever be, responsible to turn towards the only Experience I CAN trust… that one never-failing experience that is of real importance and a real priority.
The One Knowing Experience which is Open, Empty, Whole, Transparent, Indestructible, Imperturbable, Complete, Constant, unLimited and Ever-Present is the only Experience that I can trust and in which I must invest my Peace , Security & Well-Being. Every other experience I cling to for these favoured outcomes brings pain & suffering.
To know, be and feel my Knowing Nature is of true importance and a top priority. This is the only way to end suffering.

“Should prosperity befall thee, rejoice not, and should abasement come upon thee, grieve not, for both shall pass away and be no more. “

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.52)

Should the most prosperous life befall thee, rejoice not in its promise of lasting joy & fulfillment. Should the worst grief come upon thee, grieve not to its threats of lasting suffering. Neither promise or threat come from truth. Truth is Whole; while untruth appears divided with both good & bad forms. Forms of both pleasure and pain are birthed from the misperception to see division as real. This is to choose to see the false as true. It is a choice to see deception as real. But when deception (division) is seen as untrue, both forms of promise and threat shall pass away and be no more. 🌟

“Turn thy face unto Mine and renounce all save Me; for My sovereignty endureth and My dominion perisheth not. If thou seekest another than Me, yea, if thou searchest the universe for evermore, thy quest will be in vain. ”

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.14)

Turn thy knowing face unto My Faceless Knowing and renounce the belief in any knowns besides Me, the one and only Known: Pure Knowing; for My Knowing sovereignty is known to endureth and My Knowing dominion is known not to perish. If thou seekest another known other than Pure Knowing, yea, if thou searchest the universe for evermore, thy quest will be in vain.

“I created thee rich, why dost thou bring thyself down to poverty? Noble I made thee, wherewith dost thou abase thyself? Out of the essence of knowledge I gave thee being, why seekest thou enlightenment from anyone beside Me? Out of the clay of love I molded thee, how dost thou busy thyself with another? Turn thy sight unto thyself, that thou mayest find Me standing within thee, mighty, powerful and self-subsisting. ”

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.13)

I, the All-Knowing, created thee rich in knowing, why dost thou bring thyself down to the poverty of knowing objects? Noble in Knowing I made thee, wherewith dost thou abase thyself in knowing anything other than Me? Out of Knowing, the essence of knowledge, I gave thee being, why seekest thou enlightenment from another being besides the being of Knowing? Out of the Formless Clay of love I molded thee, how dost thou busy thyself searching for My Love in the clay of form? Turn thy attention inward, and stand as Pure Knowing, that thou mayest find Me, The All-Knowing, standing within thee, mighty, powerful and self-subsisting. ”

“Thou art My lamp and My light is in thee. Get thou from it thy radiance and seek none other than Me. For I have created thee rich and have bountifully shed My favor upon thee. ”

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.11)

Thou art My Knowing Being and the light of My Knowing is in thee. Get thou from It thy radiance and seek none other than this Knowing. For I, Pure Knowing, have created thee rich in knowing and have bountifully shed My Known favor upon thee.

It appears to me that you have overlooked Your Beloved Beauty. I am aware that you are caught in the loop of suffering. You resort to sweet praise, sweet flattery, sweet loyalty & sweet sacrifice in order to maintain your sweet illusion of love. If you sense your illusion of love beginning to fall apart, you resort to acting tough, speaking in defense and acting over-bearing through throwing insults, ridicule, opinions, explanations, advice, & blame.

“I beg of Thee, O my Best Beloved, to pardon me and those who earnestly seek to promote Thy Cause; Thou art indeed the One Who forgiveth the sins of all mankind. ”

The Bab

Selections from the writings of The Bab (p.4)

I beg of Thee, O my Best Beloved, to awaken me and others who so earnestly seek to promote the Thy Cause in name and form alone. Inspire us to turn our attention-seeking around and rest it upon Thee alone, to know and love only Thee alone; for Thou art indeed the only Cause Who can correct the mistaken identity of all knowing beings. Thou art the One and Only Cause Who bringeth Understanding to uncertainty & doubt, Who bringeth the Answer to questions, Who bringeth the Wisdom of Self-Knowledge to the ignorance of self belief, Who bringeth Happiness to unhappiness, Who bringeth Safety and Security to fear and doubt, Who bringeth Rest to restlessness, Who bringeth Peace to sorrow & suffering, Who bringeth Love & Compassion to shame & guilt, Who bringeth the Perfection of Beauty to perceived flaws & imperfections. Thou art indeed the One and Only Cause Who bringeth True Knowledge and Unity to belief and separation.

“From all eternity I have indeed recognized Thee and unto all eternity will ever do so through Thine Own Self and not through any one else besides Thee. “

The Bab

Selections from the writings of The Bab (p.4)

In the presence of the ever-present Knowing, I indeed recognize that Knowing is one, and am knowing this Oneness through being the knowing that is known, knowing the One Knowing knowing only Knowing. I know of no one else, no other knowing, besides the One Knowing. I am the Knowing knowing Itself alone.

There is a test to prove if I know the knowing reality of myself in the same way as the Knowing Reality knows Itself.

1. The Knowing Reality cannot appear or disappear.

2. The Knowing Reality cannot change.

3. The Knowing Reality cannot know anything other than Itself.

Let’s test it on my knowing reality:

1. I, knowing, have never experienced or known my own knowing appearing or disappearing; although the forms of  thinking-sensing-perceiving (and their objects) appear & disappear.

2. I, knowing, have never experienced or known my own knowing changing; although the forms of thinking-sensing-perceiving (and their objects) are ever-changing.

3. I have never experienced or known my own knowing, knowing anything other than Itself. There is no other knowing besides the ‘one knowing’ knowing itself.

Congratulations!!!! I know myself in the same way as the Knowing Reality knows Itself.

The knowing reality of myself and the Reality of Knowing is the SAME  REALITY.

I am not an object. I am not your object of addiction or anyone else’s. I am not an object that you believe you possess that you believe you can use (or abuse) whenever you “need” me, to distract yourself from the discomfort of your own intolerable feelings. Whether those feelings include restlessness, boredom, loneliness, or the well-known painful yearning to be seen, heard, loved and understood; I am not that object. I am not an object for anyone’s feelings of lack or fear. I am not an object for the temporary release of your unpleasant feelings. I am not an object with which you can use to mask your suffering in hopes to end your suffering. As an object, I am not your answer. As an object, you are not my answer. See that neither of us are in need of temporary relief. You and I share the same Unlimited Eternal Being. I am My own permanent answer, and You are Your own permanent answer. This is the True Love we share.
