This Week’s Quotation:
“In the cycles outworking there are always those pressure points, pressure points which force the unreal to the surface. It is squeezed out, because the unreal cannot withstand the pressures of reality. Only the real can withstand the pressures of reality; therefore the individual rejoices in the cleansing and abides constantly in that polarity in and with God by reason of which the unreal ceases to have meaning and the real is allowed to manifest where before it was not seen.”
Uranda, “Attunement With God,” June 16, 1947
Only the Real Abides in Reality
Attunement Teacher and Practitioner
Shall we take a little journey into the subtleties of the present moment?
In the space of your next breath, consider what’s moving in your heart and mind. Ready? Go.
If I could catalogue each millisecond of that inhale and exhale, I’d probably categorize 99% of what’s moving there as noise. The ups and downs of emotions and thoughts tug and pull in opposite directions at once.
Amidst such churning of the surface heart and outer mind, with a bit of attention, a tiny golden sparkle appears. There it is: The 1% micromoment that opens a gateway to reality. An inspiration, an honest reflection, an emission of gratitude, forgiveness or self-compassion, a fleeting vision of a better way forward. This is ‘faith as a grain of mustard seed.’
Uranda’s words have me wondering: Did that tiny mustard seed cause the pressure point for all the unreal churning to arise? Would such inspiration even be accessible without the emotional and mental pressure in the background?
What encouraging wisdom: Only the real can withstand the pressures of reality. Rejoice in the cleansing. Abide constantly in that polarity.
I only suffer if I believe the noise. If I have no concern for the contents of the churning, neither judging it nor getting swept up in it, gradually the unreal ceases to have meaning.
The real is allowed to manifest to the degree I can stay true to the rhythm of that tiny sparkle emerging again and again from behind the canvas.
What might it feel like to stop negotiating with the noise and simply abide?
What Is Attunement?
Attunement is a consciousness practice and an energy medicine practice that leads to personal spiritual regeneration.
Yes, Oren, there is just an almost overwhelming avalanche of thoughts, emotions and miscellaneous impressions running through my consciousness in every waking moment. And there is a lot of pressure associated with this churning. Every so often I simply have to pause, take a deep breath and say to myself, “Not any of this is real, only the Real is Real. Thank God for this Reality, which I connect with now.”
