B: There are no great ones who know me. The sense of greatness implies division and I am not divided. One can only know what one is. Those that know me are not divided, nor do they let others perpetuate division. I have no students, as that would imply division.
B: There is no reality to the idea of ‘your presence’ or ‘my presence’. You did nothing different. It was not your activity, but the falling away of doubt. See how when the doubt dissolved, love was revealed? Q: Was it only my doubt that caused me to fail? B: But you were not failing. As long as doubt persists one must practice. It is the practice that washes away the essence of doubt.
Q: What is this doubt? B: Why draw your mind back to that which clouded your awareness? Would you like me to leave? Q: No! Please forgive my ignorance! I only thought if I could know the nature of that which hid you from my sight, I could avoid it in the future.
Remember. Unless in an acute situation, it is often an inner cause rather than an outer cause which creates a feeling.
Absence of judgement, absence of comparison, the end of craving - these make room for Faith to arise.
Is it this kind of love that nourishes the Garden of Faith? If so, how do I maintain such love? B: There are many preconceptions that help one in the beginning that we outgrow as the soul seemingly matures.
These are fine for the initiate. In time, one must let go of these to find the permanent, lasting love you now know.
B: That is good. You cannot, nor should you try. Trying to describe this will only draw you back away from it. It is this love that nourishes the garden of Faith.
B: Be calm. Breathe. Let this be natural. You already know that you must fully lose judgement, comparison and wanting, which are really only symptoms of one factor. This occurs through practice. Q: And what is practice? B: Some say practice is meditation. Some say it means to vigilantly abide as the Self. Some say life is the only practice. Q: Which of those is right? B: They are all correct.
Notions, concepts and outward identification ceases through the application of effective meditation. Practiced rightly, memories lose their charge, dreams are seen to be no different than any other experience, and one learns to feel safe without having to identify with any particular point of view. This is what allows one to abide as the Self consciously.
