There is a reason that we are together . And that is always going to be provable when you wake up fully . But until then, you honestly can't own how it is you find certain men and women that seem to be in your incarnation . That includes family . (I laugh, because I remember in my teenage years wondering how I stumbled into that family . And now, I'm very close to them . ) The simple word of this day is… to be Good . The hard part of that, is that ‘Good' doesn't act for noble reasons… for moral reasons . It acts for usefulness; truth of being imperative, in the great…( we call it)… 'scheme of things' . But it's the great answer of the undivided , indivisible… in fact, U nit of the Moment, that right now is running the show .
AnnamThat doesn't make any sense to you; but you are in play… relentlessly . Mostly we scatter the play . It's still a play… It's still a play of force . And the person you intimidate in yourself that is your mind, isn't sure what the play is all about usually . , Y ou just cannot help yourself but be 'in play' , 'in motion' , 'in action' of some kind . Even if it's sitting still… something of you is in play—( obviously blood; breath; thought; and a certain kind of constant, active attention) . We are here, in play together . And the more that each of us is attentive , as well as intrigued by the whole, and the sum of our parts , the more actively we are gathering a form of ‘Answer' .
AnnamYour part is to put the answer into writing . You won't know necessarily what you are to do with that , but I would like a collective . It's done silently… but a collective responsiveness to what ‘answer' you have . What ‘answer' is here, now , this day ! Scan through what is real… and what is just theory; what is ‘Felt’ answer, and what is wished- for- answer . And use your time in this next minute to decide nothing, but let the answer flow INTO W rite or type it down . Second , (it's a variation on answer , but it's a long-term answer:) What are you for ?
AnnamThe next part is… What are you like when you are alone . Not walking . Not looking at nature . Not with your little animal friend . Alone ! What other question do you wish to add to these ? Say them …(if you have any)… out loud this time .
Attendee 1When I first started studying with Annam , I kept asking myself, 'what is my purpose ? ’ I felt like a rudder of a ship . I feel like that question has been answered .
AnnamYou can add to that… or we can continue to seek . Is there another question that you would like to ask… any of you ? Or do you want to add to what you said , Pauline ?
Attendee 1I guess my answer would be: 'I am an ongoing flow of good . Good is guiding me in all endeavors . In spite of some digressions of mind , I trust in this good flow . I am for solution , the plan of good , when alone , I feel whole .
AnnamBeautiful , thank you .
Attendee 2My answers to the first two were pretty good… the third one not as good . So, my next question would be… ‘What would I like to be like when I am alone ? ' I like Pauli’s answer: I would like to be feel just ‘Whole' when I'm alone .
Attendee 3So related to that , then I would put the question succinctly as… do I feel myself to be God or a human ? I don't mean, going with the mind's answer . I'm talking about how I feel about myself during the day .
AnnamCan you translate that for everyone ? What does it mean ? How can you even ask , with the word ‘God' in there ? What does it mean to you… and how would you know 'how to choose' ?
Well… when I was in meditation, (and this goes back to one of the questions) there was a realization , even though the mind knew this ahead of time: In each person, there's God ! and so… there was a thrill … an astonishment… to think about that . When you meet another person , you're meeting an aspect of God… or let's call it a Soul , (which is very much easier to interpret as being part of God . ) And so , along that theme then , do I view myself more often during the day , say, “I Am that I AM ” . I often more correlate with being ‘Harry' . A good ‘Harry' , small ‘g' on ‘good’ . So, I can tell the difference on how I think of myself . I think, more often than not… I think of myself as being human rather than soul . So that would be another way of asking the question .
AnnamAnyone else want to ask or add a question to this ?
Attendee 2I would . My question is what more can I do to further open my consciousness and receive specific actions that will help me to fulfill my purpose ?
AnnamThere is nothing to do but be Love . Do you have any reason not to be Love ? That's a shock of an ‘aha' in a way , isn't it ! “Do I have any reason not to Be Love ? ” Wow ! We all know that the human mind can say, “I don't want to love that person” , or, “I'm not feeling very loving today . ” Love is the escape from vanity ! And all Good, and literally, all God-filled Now, utilizes your atoms even ! You are a flow- through place… as well as an act of good . There's no helping it ; there's no adding to it . There's no search left .
