Dear ones, rest in knowing that appearance, the play of light and dark is limited in its scope and therefore it is a play of finite props; a dream unfolding, upheld
by that which observes all. The absolute in stillness advances the wheel of life alone. Comprehension is always found at a deeper level where all contradiction
vanishes and divine purpose is revealed. The center of being is stillness; creation but the cog of unfolding images spun forth. Your true nature is stillness. It
hath no rivals or concerns. What of a dream concerns, once awakened? Dreams dissolve upon awakening, appearance comes and goes; what then is of
permanence? It is not the finite, thus it has no substance. It without senses seemingly partakes of the senses yet it is detached in calm. No matter how real
the appearance seems, remember dear ones, it is as illusive and unsubstantial as a dream. Just as the many scenes of the dream worlds are presented and
experienced, who in fact experiences? There is but one that experiences as the many, yet remains ever in stillness. Contemplate your true nature, it is
changeless, perfect, timeless, there is no other. To awaken while the dream persists, is to fully know the self as all, a knowing that dissolves all fears; how can
you be afraid of self, that changeless perfection that is all life? Distortion is reflected in the illusive dream only. To know the self as all, will wash away all conflict
all sorrows and one is freed of illusion. Mastery of life is simply mastery of the awakened state. When one steps awakened in each moment fully realized, fully
aware, life smiles unto life. Babaji
