What Can Stillness Give Me?

by Rev. Maria Kingsley, Ordained Ministerial Counselor

The other morning, I was sitting outside in the fresh air while it was still dark outside, contemplating what is happening within and without.

I asked myself: Am I joining with this world, am I hiding from this world, where am I at?

What came to me was that I wanted to be still and just be. When I did this, I realized that I was just being, being as the plants and other beings (rabbits, bugs, birds etc.) were just being. They were being … quietly, not happy, not sad, not low, not high, just being. They were bringing to this world what they came to bring, without needing to worry, needing to hurry, needing to despair or reject who they are, what they are. They were just that: a rabbit, a bird, a bee, or a tree. 

I noticed how wonderful it was to just be. Tears came to my eyes because I realized that I had been longing for this Beingness for a long time. Plants and flowers had always brought that feeling of being centered and just being to me. It is where we live.

The title of Lesson 291 is: “This is a day of stillness and of peace.”

In this stillness, this Beingness, there are no demands, no conflict, no desires, no pain, no need. All just IS.

The title of Lesson 106 is: “Let me be still and listen to the Truth.”

There is nowhere to go, nothing to even observe. I allow it all to be just as it is. Peaceful, quiet, being what ‘we’ are.

The title of Lesson 268 is: “Let all things be exactly as they are.”

Here is all given because there is no lack, no time. I am safe here, protected yet unaware of any need for protection. I am safe without knowing I am safe. Just safe, just being right here and now.

The title of Lesson 349 is: “Today I let Christ’s vision look upon all things for me and judge them not, but give each one a miracle of love instead.”

In this spacious Beingness, Guidance will come to me to move in this world with Love and purpose. My purpose is clear, and I am connected. I receive what I need in every way.

The title of Lesson 273 is: “The stillness of the Peace of God is mine.”

Can I follow this through the day?  Not all the time. Can I reconnect any time? Of course, but I need to be the one finding that peace within me. There may be fear coming up — ever so slight — of following what Guidance will tell me to do. Yes, it does get noticed. However, when I do notice it, I can use that as a signal to return to peace. I do this by telling myself, Lesson 101:  “God’s Will is for me is perfect happiness.”

I have experienced that. When I follow, all things somehow work out in amazing ways. It always astounds me, truly, how perfectly it all falls into place. When I ask for the highest good for all, including me, and I remember to trust that (even when little doubts come up), it is so much fun to see the Divine plan unfold before me. It has happened again and again.

Lessons 361 – 365:

“This holy instant would I give to You.
Be You in charge. For I would follow You. Certain that Your direction
gives me peace.”

And so, I return to the Stillness, the Peace and Spaciousness within.

There I am at Home, I am safe, I am happy.

In the stillness, everything is given,
all just IS, and All is well.

I am so grateful. Thank you.
