When you focus within and feel the inner body, you immediately become still and present as you are withdrawing consciousness from the mind.
- If a response is required in that situation, it will come up from this deeper level.
- Just as the sun is infinitely brighter than a candle flame, there is infinitely more intelligence in “Being” than in your mind.
Presence is a pure consciousness – consciousness that has been reclaimed from the mind, from the world of form.
Awareness of the inner body is consciousness remembering its origin and returning to the Source.
- The inner body is your link with the Unmanifested, and in its deepest aspect is the Unmanifested: the Source from which consciousness emanates, as light emanates from the sun.

“Before you enter the temple, forgive.”
Forgiveness is to relinquish your grievance and so to let go of grief.
- It happens naturally once you realize that your grievance serves no purpose except to strengthen a false sense of self.
Forgiveness is to offer no resistance to life – to allow life to live through you.
- The alternatives are pain and suffering, a greatly restricted flow of life energy, and in many cases physical disease.
The moment you truly forgive, you have reclaimed your power from the mind.
- Non-forgiveness is the very nature of the mind, just as the mind-made false self, the ego, cannot survive without strife and conflict.
The mind cannot forgive. Only you can. You become present, you enter your body, you feel the vibrant peace and stillness that emanate from Being.
- That is why Jesus said: “Before you enter the temple, forgive.”
