Now when you make a declaration, that is the short route to your state of being. Declarations
are a calling forth of Who You Really Are—or, more accurately, of that portion of Who You
Really Are that you wish to experience right now.
This is beingness being creative, rather than thought being creative. Beingness is the fastest
method of creation. That is because what is, is right now
A true declaration of being is made without thinking about it. If you think about it, you will, at
best, delay it, and, at worst, deny it.
Delay will occur simply because thinking takes time, and being takes no time at all.
Denial could occur because thinking about what you choose to be often convinces you that
you aren’t that—and can’t ever become that.
If that’s true, then the worst thing I can do is to think!
In a sense, that is correct. All spiritual Masters are out of their minds. That is, they do not
consciously think about what they are being. They simply are it. The moment you think about
it, you can’t be it. You can only delay being it, or deny being it.
To use a very down-home illustration, you can only be in love when you are in love. You
cannot be in love if you are thinking about it. If someone who loves you asks, “Are you in love
with me?” and you say, “I’m thinking about it,” that will probably not go over very well.
Excellent! You are understanding very well.
Now, if time is not critical, if it’s not a matter of inches and seconds (and few things are), if it
isn’t important how long it takes before you are experiencing what you choose (such as
“being in love”), then you can take all the time you want to “think about it.”
And thinking is a very powerful tool. Don’t get Me wrong. It is one of the Three Tools of
Creation.
Thought, word, and deed.
Precisely. Yet today I have given you another method by which you can experience Life. This
is not a tool of creation, this is a new understanding of creation: that it is not a process by
which things occur, but by which you become aware of what already has occurred—an
awareness of what is, always was, and always will be, world without end.
Do you understand?
I am beginning to, yes. I am beginning to see the whole cosmology, the whole construction.
Good. I know this has not been simple. Or rather, it has been simple, but it has not been
easy.
just remember this: Being is instant. Compared to that, your thought is very slow. As fast as
thought is, it is very slow compared to being.
Let’s use your very human example of being in love.
