Images     By Sandy Jones

The world we see and live in and as, is an image of the Eternal Real.

This world we experience is like a holographic image of God.

God is all there is. God is Real and is the One and Only Reality here.

This experience we call living is really God's experience of Its Self.

Therefore, it is easy to see that all images are just images being images within God's Own Light of Itself which is manifesting as Awareness.

Awareness is Always here, that is undenibale.

So, we can learn quickly that the value isn't in the images, things, or words.

That recognition is where the Joy and Freedom is.

To realize that any 'they' are not 'out there'-- 'they' are Here within the Awareness I am That is God's and God's alone.

I am the Awareness, I do not need to worry about the images, ideas, and things within This I That I Am.

The Truth isn't bound to any 'ism' of any kind, be it dualism or non-dualism, religion, teacher or guru.

The Truth, the Living Presence, the Light of Being is not in the images within Awareness and not in any of the countless numbers of 'ideas' available to us. A Good thing to understand, most especially now in these days of overflowing instantaneous information and communication. The information is growing exponentially, but now we see it is nothing, meaningless nothing.

This percieving which is all inclusive clearly includes all kinds of reflections appearing 'to us' as 'things' i.e. teachers, philosophies and systems within Itself.

The eternal Isness being all images is being the entire universe. This is God's Infinite Mind which is an energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

We could admire or disparage any number of things (and most often we do) but that turns out to be judgmental foolishness, unnecessary and confusing, giving a false power to the powerless things.

Do not lower your sights on 'the ten thousand things' but rather to Lift the Vision up where we can see all Life from the The Child Heart of us. The Child Within, the Divine Spirit we are is That Identity that knows and lives on The High Ground already..

Now we maintain an unshakable equanimity in the knowledge that Eternal Allness is being the Identity-I-am and is the Only Real Value.

We marvel at the variety and abundance reflecting the Infinitude of God's Allness. We can bring Peace and Joy to the World by being That Peace and Joy.

Along with This Clear Understanding we find the ability to discern 'wrong and right' but we are not drawn into an attack or defense of those things. We find New Ways and Live in Balance.

The Truth stands as its own monument with beauty, simplicity, tenderness and an unjudging love that makes the Heart sing and does astounding things within our experience.

Only Awareness is Real and It is God's alone.

I listen to the Holy Councilor only, who teaches me directly-here, right here in my Heart.
