Worry/Hope

[YinYang]

I had such a strange synchronicity happen to me this week. So a while back I was wandering at the Smuts House Museum in Pretoria, about a year ago. It was Jan Smuts' house which is a museum today, and then I saw this path leading into the woods, which was the path he walked every day with his dog.

Quite far into the woods, you come across this:



And on the wall are these plaques:





The place had this strange feeling of reverence to it, it was the place where he sat in silence every day.

On the floor is this marble stone:



The date underneath is my birthday, which I thought at the time was a strange coincidence.

Then this week we went to feed the squirrels in the Cape Town Gardens, and there was a statue of Jan Smuts:



So I thought of my walk at his house last year and the marble stone, and those words...

Then we came home and I was searching for something good to read. The book I mentioned above was an irritation to me, because the author was racist and misogynistic, so I stopped reading it.

So I went though this "contactee list" I discovered online once (Carla's also in there), and from the hundreds of titles in there, I just randomly chose this one, The Impersonal Life. It's also free online, here.

And on the second page, in bold, those same words - Be Still And Know I Am God. Wow...

This is an amazing read, and a short one. I speaks to many of the underlying themes in this thread, turning to the One after all other avenues have been exhausted.

I believe it was channeled, and he published the book anonymously while he was still alive, only after his death did they add his name to it. Interestingly, this little book was found with Elvis Presley when he died, and apparently he gave hundreds of copies of it it away.

Not sure if it helps, but I just felt like sharing.

Ra: These distortions remove the focus from the One Infinite Source of love and light of which we are all messengers, humble and knowing that we, of ourselves, are but the tiniest portion of the Creator, a small part of a magnificent entirety of infinite intelligence.
