I Need Do Nothing

"I Need Do Nothing"



"Your way will be different, not in purpose but in means. A holy relationship is a means of saving time. One instant spent together with your brother restores the universe to both of you. You are prepared. Now you need but to remember you need do nothing. It would be far more profitable now merely to concentrate on this than to consider what you should do. When peace come at last to those who wrestle with temptation and fight against the giving in to sin; when the light comes at last into the mind given to contemplation; or when the goal is finally achieved by any one, it always comes with just one happy realization; "I need do nothing."
Here is the ultimate release which everyone will one day find in his own way, at his own time. You do not need this time. Time has been saved for you because you and your brother are together.
Save time for me by only this one preparation, and practice doing nothing else. "I need do nothing" is a statement of allegiance, to a truly undivided loyalty. Believe it for just one instant, and you will accomplish more than is given to a century of contemplation, or of struggle against temptation.
To do any thing involves the body. And if you recognize you need do nothing, you have withdrawn the body's value from your mind. Here is the quick and open door through which you slip past centuries of effort, and escape form time. This is the way in which sin loses all attraction right now. For here is time denied, and past and future gone. Who needs do nothing has no need for time. To do nothing is to rest, and make a place within you where the activity of the body ceases to demand attention. Into this place the Holy Spirit comes, and there abides. He will remain when you forget, and the body's activities return to occupy your conscious mind.
Yet there will always be this place of rest to which you can return. And you will be more aware of this quiet center of the storm than all its raging activity. This quiet center, in which you do nothing, will remain with, giving you rest in the minds of every busy doing on which you are sent. For from this center will you be directed how to use the body sinlessly. It is this center, from which the body is absent, that will keep it so in your awareness of it."
(ACIM.T.389.5-8)

This is your invitation to the Holy Spirit to come in and guide you from now on. Do you want illusions? Or do you want to awaken? What you choose in this moment will determine your experience in what seems to be your future. It's all made up and therefore it will change. If you place your life, or what you make of life(joke), under my supervision then you cannot go wrong. I am here to guide you and direct your every step. You cannot fail when you have trusted God to lead your way to Himself. What else would you rather learn then how to be happy and make happy? What else is there for you here that you value more then happiness and peace? You my child, have chosen wrongly and that is why you are confused. Confusion is not of God's effect, but it is of your own making by believing in something that is not real. You cannot exist, secretly opposing God's laws of Life and eternity, and still hope to be happy and content with little piece of scrap of false perception you might call "a life". If you are committed I invite you to surrender to the Will of God entirely and completely dissolve what is not there, namely your belief in duality. You cannot be as God did not create you,

"You are Spirit whole and innocent. All is forgiven and released."(Your Immortal Reality)

I declare to you my child that from this moment you will be tempted less and less, if this is what you wish off course, with false idols and illusions that hold nothing before your holy mind. You can release and be released when you recognize that only Truth is what will make you happy! You are not happy while you think of yourself whatever you are not, namely your ego. "You need do nothing" - practice this when you think you need. Let this be your lesson of salvation and release from guilt and fear right now. Make of it your daily prayer. Let this single though be all that you are aware of trough your entire day, and you will see the benefits of not believing you are a body. You will know yourself as changelessness Itself. Peace and blessings from above.




Hi the following is my own impression on the "I Need Do Nothing" thought. Actually it is more then a though it is the thought! If, which you should, practice it let's say for a week consistently every day you will marvel and wonder at what you will experience. My experience with this type of approach is awesome, I can't tell you how much of solid experience it puts in your bag of experiences. You really get a taste of changeless and you experience real peace, resting and coming with still mind. Your body is not your primary focus because now all you want is peace. So ACIM has all your answers, all that you are asked is to try and see for yourself. Perhaps you will like it too...
