SLOW DOWN YOUR LIFE
     Advice which is very valuable that you can always give yourself is to just slow down. Slow down your life. Go very casually and easily in the way you think and feel. Slow down your speech. Then your defensive and offensive self is out of the way and you can simply receive the higher message, which is to not have a wrong reaction.
     Spiritual magic: I am here! First: Slow down. You’re to do it now. You have to see you’re living in a blur. Now your neurotic nature is always worried, racing around. Now, know you’re here physically in this room; you never know you’re here, you’re gone. See around the room, where your hands are, legs crossed or uncrossed. Now deliberately change your position so you can be aware of where you are. Also know what you’re thinking right now, what you’re feeling right now.
     When you put yourself into the position of knowing you are here, then nothing outside of you has the smallest chance to enter into your right world and disturb it. When you spiritually know “I am here,” that’s the only world, there’s no other world at all. God is exclusive. Truth is all. Reality is the only real state. The Kingdom of Heaven is pure.
     It is essential for you to remind yourself and practice the slowing down exercise. Slowing down your life opens the door to understanding why things happen as they do. Remember to slow down.

DON’T PLAN TOMORROW
     Refuse to think of what you are going to do tomorrow. Decide that you are never again going to guarantee your future. Instead, you are going to sacrifice thinking about tomorrow regardless of what happens to you. Have the courage to not think what you always think. Set aside your plans, supports, securities. You are simply not going to do, think, plan anything for tomorrow. You’ve made the decision to live without them — plans, supports, thoughts, worries. This allows something else to enter. This is sacrificing your usual life in order to find life with a  capital “L”. Refuse to think in time anymore — past or future.
      You don’t know what an adventure you have in store if you do it. As you see the futility in thinking those thoughts again and again, it becomes easier and easier not to.
     God does the work for you when you allow it.
