There’s an old expression, “You can’t ask a fish, ‘How’s the water’?”
It’s because the fish is immersed in the water. There is no distinction about the water. It’s where the fish lives.
And, what has happened on the earth is that people are so immersed in their environment – the environment of constant stimulation, the environment of consumerism, materialism, the environment of this illusion of separateness – they can’t reflect upon it.
They can’t say, “What is this like, apart from what I’m already experiencing?”
This is the value of meditation and this is the value of giving yourself, at times, a fast, a disconnect from all the things that are constantly stimulating you.
And, while it’s possible to adapt to all this stimulation (there are people who can fall asleep with the television on), it’s not the best.
But you don’t need to do this because in this moment, regardless of the current status or your judgments of the condition of the earth – in this moment – you are at peace.
There is happiness in this moment, just for what it is.
And, it’s worth your attention just to be present to the miracle of life itself – of being in relationship with so many things, of being able to just notice that you’re being breathed.
Something is breathing you. And, that something loves you.
And, from this place, you can be more selective in what you engage in and not lose yourself.
There is right action and right speaking and right thinking – but it’s not based on wrong.
It’s based on a knowing and a groundedness in who you are and an openness to the uniqueness of every moment.
And, that probably will not occur to you unless you take the time to disconnect from the constant barrage of stimuli that distracts you from who you are.
It’s not that you need to be a recluse or only meditate. But, there is this deep, deep knowing of love and peace and relationship and the sense that all is well.
All is well.
Bring that forth into your day, into your actions, into your interactions and allow your vibration to rise.
You and everyone around you will benefit from this.
This was channeled through Dr. Jim by the one we know as Yeshua.
