AhmaNiden: “Greetings little one. If you are ready we will begin.”

JoiLin, indicating she is ready.

AhmaNiden: “Today, child, I would like for us to focus our attention on the inner life as it is understood by most. When mainstream humanity thinks of the inner life, they have no real concept of just what that phrase is intended to mean or promote.

“For many it simply means to share their personal lives with others, and this is a good thing to do, certainly, but it is not what we mean by the term ‘inner life’. What it really means is to go within, to sit in a place of Stillness, and yet with a sense of anticipation, of openness, of a willingness to both give and receive in that place, or space of ‘Stillness’.

“When you are in a receptive, emotional space, you will see that in the beginning, and over time, there will be given small gifts of wisdom, perhaps as an insight at first. And yet, over time, there will commence real conversational give and take, the kind you just now experienced, child, albeit you renounced it as having come from your own ego mind.

“The term ‘sharing the inner life’ is intended to mean that when you are in that place of Stillness you share with your indwelling Father Fragment—which you carry in your heart—both the joys as well as the trials. It is hoped that in going within, and sitting in the Stillness as a committed daily effort, you will develop a closer relationship with that Part of God that indwells you.

“When first beginning this meditative practice, you may not feel comfortable, and you may have a mind full of chaotic thought patterns that tend to interfere with your attempts to be still. Do not worry over these, as over time they will become less problematic. You will develop the ability to focus your mind on being still and allowing any thoughts that appear to simply drift by, without feeling a need to interact with them. It is in this way that the mind is able to become still.

“In the beginning of your Stillness practice, it would serve you to commit to giving the Father ten minutes of your day, doing this each day for a period of two months, after which you will find that you are more comfortable. You may then allow the time to increase to whatever works for you, generally not more than half an hour nor less than the ten minute commitment.

“Keep a journal, if you will, and immediately after doing your Stillness jot down any thoughts you may have, as well as any insights that may come to you during the day. I think that over time you will see that your inner life, as well as your outward spiritual life, is beginning to take flight, and beginning to become a more solid part of who you are developing into.

“Like all habits, it takes a minimum of two weeks of committed effort before they are truly habits. Until then, one tends to still feel uncomfortable, and struggle. You will know it has become an established habit when it no longer feels uncomfortable to you. For each individual the time frame needed for that to develop may be slightly different. Two weeks is a bare minimum. Many may take longer in order to reach the necessary level of feeling comfortable.

“Remember that once the pattern is established and comfortable, it has become your own, and you will increasingly find that to not do it will now feel uncomfortable and this, of course, is the goal of building any new habit.

“I think we can leave off here, child, and continue perhaps again when you can take a few more minutes with me.

“I wish to thank you for becoming aware of my cue for you to tune in, and for responding to my desire to communicate this mini lesson to you. Stay in His Light, and know you are much loved. Shalom.”

JoiLin: “Thank you AhmaNiden. It was good to spend time with you again!”
