PERFECT CALM

In each soul's experience, there are times of perfect calm.  Such a time means that all is in order both within and without.  Nothing pulls you towards something else nor pushes you away from a thing, but you remain in equanimity or harmony with the way things are at that moment. 

The moment of perfect calm is both amazing and invisible.  In its amazement, you may realize that all is perfect and that life is sweet for you just as it is, taking in everything and being content.  But in its invisibility, there are countless such moments in every day, and they fleet by with nary a glance or recognition.  That is because these are the moments between your thought-production.  It is only when you return to thoughts that you become discontented once again, and lose the calm perfection.

Life, then, becomes a series of seeming struggles in which the perceived outer world does not offer what you crave or yearn for, and the perceived inner world is in disalignment with what you aspire to as your goal.  Then you are in disharmony - a frequent state that is seen as the condition or average situation of everyone.  Therefore, it behooves you to wake up to the fact that perfect calm is available 24/7, that it is in fact the default state, that one need only put aside thoughts for as long as possible, again and again throughout the day, to return over and over, and for longer and longer stretches, to this default position in which everything is in alignment and sweet.

That is all that needs be done, and rather quickly your soul becomes happier and more peaceful.  Is this then a trick?  No.  But it is a universal secret.  The time is ripe for this understanding to be discovered, for as outer circumstances seem to be building in consequence and pressurization, now is exactly the time to dwell within, in the place of respite and beauty... the place of you.
