SECRETS OF LIFE12-28-24
"You're not used to being comfortable physically as well as the other ways.
So let's try it one more time, a double blow for ourselves instead of
against ourselves. Let's just relax, knowing that in this room right now it
is not necessary for you to have a mask on.
It is not necessary for you to be concerned over what's going to happen to
you. What's going to happen to you this morning is something beautiful,
marvelous and what your heart and spirit really wants to happen. Once more,
it is not needful for you to sit here in this room during the talk the way
you sit at your desk at the office with the boss ten yards away and pointed
in your direction.
It is not necessary for you to be anxious when you go to the cafe during
lunch and it's pretty crowded there. You need not be concerned that you're
usually concerned there over getting first in line so you can get back to
work on time. All the demands of daily life out there do not apply in this
room.
I want you to be very aware of that because you don't know that you carried
the world into this room. Now that you carried it in, I am giving you a new
instruction that you can set it aside. And if you feel a little bit of
discomfort over being newly comfortable, just know that you're doing it
rightly because you see - I'm illustrating this physically as I'm talking
to you.
You see when you sit back and relax, that makes you conscious of the
tension and pointless anxiety that you had just three seconds earlier."
