A universal assembly for true discernment
The Heart of one,
the Voice of one,
and the Voice for God
are all the same.
This is your lord
when you want to move
only for the cause of love.
There are two ways of looking at things
and two ways of hearing.
One is from the perspective of “me,”
apart from them
with interest in
the “me.”
The other is from the perspective of whole,
a body of one,
which is a totality of Self.
In this, there is no “me.”
~From our Holy Spirit
Find a place where you will be undisturbed. If it is comfortable, put on headsets or earbuds. Relax, and enjoy this meditation.

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 Fear~
You fear the idea of surrender, because you see it as unknown. You see surrender as unknown, because you see it as a place without you.
Know that nothing could be further from the truth.
The mind that tells stories is not you, although it has captured your attention. The spirit that is calm is your truth, although you are afraid of looking there.
Go within the calm. Take time to recognize your Self there. Then when you return to the stories, they will have less meaning for you, because you will know you have been to the place of calm, and you were at home there.

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.

~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.

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.

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.
