I wish I could somehow get this
idea across to the new people on the 11:11 message board;
the ones that are new to any kind of Stillness/Meditation.
So many come to us and are fascinated. They never had a clue
that you could talk to the Angels, or even that the Midwayers
exist.
So naturally they want to ‘plop right down’,
close their eyes, and hear the Angels talk to them. They
expect that! Not even understanding that the greatest Gift
of all waiting behind those closed eyes is the Creator Himself!
It is a joy and a blessing when you hear and feel the Celestial
helpers around you, but it is no substitute for the waves
of love, and the life-changing closeness that develops as
you come faithfully into Stillness with the Father.
My Celestial Teacher gave me a lesson once on that very
thing. How do we tell the folks to relax, and enjoy the process
that will be unique to them alone? How do we tell them to
have no expectations, but to be with eager joy at each new
revelation that comes precisely when we are ready for it?
Quiet Stillness with no preconceived expectations is wherefrom
the real change -- the real education and strength for our
daily lives -- is derived. And there is absolutely no guarantee
that it will be easy. It isn’t easy to hear the voices
in your ears or your mind. It is a process of growth, and
it will plod along, and when you least expect it, “Pow!” Something
will happen that will amaze and surprise you, and you will
say, “Thank You, God!”
