Entry 98 - Stillness

9/26/19

What's it like when thoughts cease and one enters into stillness? To some, that is such a foreign concept that they literally can't fathom such a state. With other people, the ego convinces them to associate stillness with evil in order to keep them too scared to try it. Their false self might even create a mental cage around their thoughts and make them feel guilty for not thinking about what they need to do in order to keep them from entering into stillness. But once one overcomes these false perceptions created by the ego and finally enters into the stillness, everything changes.

God's presence is best experienced when we stop all distracting thoughts and focus on the present and literally experience His Presence. The ego needs and thrives off of your thoughts. That's the only way it can survive. It's the only way to keep itself attached to you, but the minute you surrender all your thoughts and simply focus on being, that is when your ego ceases connections with your true self and loses its ability to attach to you. Then, the minute your ego is disengaged, and you're able to be your true, authentic self in the ever stillness of the now, this is pure bliss.
