Weekly Passage - for week of 12/28/03



"There is a simple practice by which a considerable measure of this peace can be achieved, if persisted in day in and day out. It is by developing a consciousness of nowness, a state of todayness. This state of nowness is achieved by consciously training ourselves to live only in this minute, by recognizing, first of all, that we do not live on yesterday's manna. Since we live only on the manna as it falls today, our dependence is only on that which comes to us today and not on anything that was due from yesterday or was carried over from last month. We do not waste time thinking about past obligations people may owe us, nor about past hurts or wrongs they may have committed.

"Our responsibility is only for this day and for this moment. Whatever demand is made upon us, let us fulfill it this moment."

-- from Joel Goldsmith's "Practicing the Presence"
Chapter 9 - A Moment of Christhood
