~Commentary on Calm~
Fear is a voice that has had your attention because you have believed it has something to give. You listened to fear, and thoughts of fear, because you believed they spoke of your own best interests.
Watch your mind when it is busy with fear and turmoil. Notice it believes your best interests are at heart.
Now turn your attention away from the thought (or fear) of your own best interests, and place your attention with your desire to know the all as one…to know the all as in harmony and in love.
Focus your mind and your heart and all of your attention on the desire to know the all as one harmonic whole. Seek nothing but this, and you are immersed within a confident peace that is calm.

The spirit of God is one.
This is an irrefutable fact.
And yet,
the mind refutes this fact daily,
moment-by-moment
with every thought.
This is why you must surrender.
Not to surrender
is to listen to the mind,
which tells constant stories of untruth.
To surrender
is to be led by not listening to mind,
which frees the spirit
to remember.
~From our Holy Spirit
All there is, is What Is. Just as it is.
Realize there is no separation.
Then there is peace that is beyond understanding.
Perfect Brilliant Stillness.
Beyond the individual self.
Stop focusing on words and concepts.
Look where the pointers point!
Be still.
Realize Perfect Brilliant Stillness.
Just as it is.
This enlightening book study, which isn’t a book study at all, is led by Regina Dawn Akers.

Transcript for Louise Kay Satsang
Louise Kay was born in Lancashire, in the northwest of the UK. After graduating from university, she worked as an English teacher for 15 years, and during this time began to question the deeper meaning of life. This led her to the path of spirituality, where she found a strong resonance with the teachings of non-duality.
In her early thirties, Louise felt a deep call in her heart to visit India, where she experienced a profound spiritual awakening. Shortly afterward Louise began channeling and traveled around the world sharing this gift for several years. During this time, she experienced a deepening and integration of her initial spiritual awakening and as she opened more to this non-dual truth the channeling faded away and a new form of expression revealed itself from deep in her heart.
Louise now holds group events and retreats online and around the world. Her passion is to sit together in presence and hold gentle, unconditionally loving space for all emotions, all sensations, and all experiences which arise in the moment in order to support the integration of unresolved energies and allow the unfolding of the divine in all who feel the call.

Louise Kay was interviewed by Anne Blanchard.

Please read and contemplate the following commentary in the same way that you read and contemplate the Thought of Awakening. The commentaries are designed to enrich your understanding of the Thoughts of Awakening.
~Commentary on Self-love~
To be calm, one must remember to love one’s Self above all else. One must be willing to love one’s Self above one’s fears or concerns. For if you look, you will notice that when the mind is consumed with fear or turmoil, you are focusing the mind outward on the worry or concern. Since your attention is there, your love is there also. So when you notice that you are not at peace, you must choose to love your Self.
To love your Self, turn your attention from the worry or concern, and notice what you need most now. If you place the attention inward, away from the problem, with the desire to love your Self, you will notice that what you need most now is to be calm. When love gives its attention to its Self with love as its only purpose, it sees what gift to give, and it is perfectly guided in how to give it.
Trust the intention that is your love. Follow it to the practice of truly loving your Self.

To be calm
remember that you want to hear
the Voice and intention
of all love.
Consciously tune your ears
away from the noise
to the silence that is within.
Make the decision to breathe
within the silence.
Rest in silence,
asking nothing
and notice the feeling of calm.
Let calm overtake you.
Let it become loud.
Be willing to listen
only to the sound of calm.
~From our Holy Spirit
