O SON OF MY HANDMAID!

“Be not troubled in poverty nor confident in riches, for poverty is followed by riches, and riches are followed by poverty. Yet to be poor in all save God is a wondrous gift, belittle not the value thereof, for in the end it will make thee rich in God, and thus thou shalt know the meaning of the utterance, “In truth ye are the poor,” and the holy words, “God is the all-possessing,” shall even as the true morn break forth gloriously resplendent upon the horizon of the lover’s heart, and abide secure on the throne of wealth.”

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Persian (p.51)

Be not troubled in knowing forms of lack nor be confident in knowing forms of abundance; for knowing forms of lack are followed by knowing forms of abundance, and knowing forms of abundance are followed by knowing forms of lack. Knowing anything other than Me, Formless Knowing, is always followed by knowing something else other than Me. Both are deprived of knowing the Formless Love that I am. Yet to be Formless in Me is to know NOTHING save Me. To know only Knowing is a wondrous gift, belittle not the value thereof, for in the end it will make thee rich in Me, and thus thou shalt know the meaning of the utterance, “In truth ye are the formless knowing ,” and the holy words, “the All-Knowing is the all-possessing,” shall even as the true morn break forth gloriously resplendent upon the horizon of the lover’s heart, abiding securely on the throne of formless wealth.

The Game of Life

Do you know who you really are?

You may be playing the game of the ‘spiritual life’, the ‘domestic life’, or the ‘professional life’. Would you consider asking yourself that all endeavours that include a ‘you’, are all part of the game? It’s a wonderful life, this game of life, is it not?

To help you come to a deeper awareness of who or what you really are, ask yourself, “Do I know who Nina is?” You may believe I am somebody ‘out there’ separate from you, and in the conventional, illusory game of the world, that would appear true. But consider asking yourself, ‘where do all thoughts, memories, emotions, associations, and perceptions come from?’ If they come from ‘you’, then where am ‘I’? Sit with that a minute. What am ‘I’ when you are not thinking or perceiving? Can you be willing to see that there never was an ‘I’ separate from a thought or from a perception? Would you be open to seeing that all your thoughts about me, and other’s thoughts about me, all come from nowhere, and only ‘appear’ in the form of thoughts, memories, emotions, associations and perceptions in your mind? There is really nobody that all this is happening to. It’s simply happening, and it’s all happening from imagination.

What emotions come up when you consider that all you believed to be true or false, was simply a string of nobody’s never-ending thoughts, lined up, one after another, after another, going around and around, with no beginning or no end? Consider that they have no relationship to each other, and they are not the cause of future thoughts, nor are any of them the effect of past thoughts. Can you be open to the possibility that it is the job of the mind mechanism to give an otherwise non-purposeful meaningless world, purpose and meaning? What feelings come up, and is there a willingness to go there? Or is there a resistance to those feelings?

What would your whole world look like, if the belief in a ‘you’ wasn’t there? Well, nothing would change in the outward view, just the perception of it. The body would continue to move, and complete it’s functions. It would eat, drink, walk, sleep, etc. just like before, but there wouldn’t be any belief that there is a ‘you’ doing it. Doer-ship would not arise. There would be no more taking credit, giving credit, taking blame or giving blame. The mind would supply thoughts of a practical nature in order to complete functional, activities or writing, reading, driving, and other mind tasks. Without the seeking pleasure or avoiding pain, life would simply arise spontaneously, as it always has, but now the mind would simply accept it as it was happening, and not conclude what any of it means. Feelings would arise, play themselves out, and then be gone. Over time, a stability would settle in. More and more contentment and joy would be experienced. Nothing and nobody would be ‘out there’ any longer. All in all, love and beauty would come into awareness like never before, and there would be a knowingness that it’s all happening spontaneously, for no purpose, except that it IS happening and it’s a celebration of your Divine Essence playing the game of life.
