If One Wonders

Your eternal nature isn't against thoughts, it is free of them. It is unchanging, unbecoming, always still, quiet Presence. The paradox is thoughts are also this Presence. Thoughts represent the changing aspect, the creative aspect, the movement aspect that manifests the myriad ways that this Presence can and does express. It is like white light and colors. All belong to one and the same energy. Only a prism is needed and white light creates a spectrum of colors. Take away the prism and all colors are returned to white light. Add the prism, and they reappear.

So what then is the prism? What is the change factor? The prism or the change factor is time. Without time, there is no change, no creation, no movement no manifested aspect to Consciousness. The counsel, "Be still and know" is an invitation to experience this timeless state. It is an invitation to experience everything returning to rest, to Emptiness. It is an invitation to experience the "white light," from which has come all of these colors.

If one were to wonder "If all of this can come from that. What else must be possible?" One falls from here and now, into possibilities, fantasies and beliefs. When the mind is stuck in possibilities, fantasies and beliefs, this is called Maya.
