Closer Than Close

Arlene GrastonBeloved—

You think you are alone in an outer world disconnected from you.  An outer world making demands and asking you to give it obedience and attention.  An outer world taking you away from Me, from Us.

This is simply not so.  You are the Beloved of a Life that has no end, that cannot allow for any activity that is not of the reality of being.  Beloved, you are here with Me now.

It is a quiet inner world that is offered to you, a simple world that you can perceive for you are of it. You understand its silent language that tells you wondrous things that cannot be reduced to words and concepts that bear no resemblance to your truth of being.

Beloved, allow yourself to feel loved and guided from within — turn to Me and rely on the urges and reassurances you find there.  They wait for you in confidence that you can hear them.

Dear one…

Arlene GrastonWhat is Real, is unlike the outer impressions that fill your ears and meet your eyes in the seeming constant that is your Human life.

Yet, the Real is the most constant of all.  It speaks of the most lovely tenderness.

It is glorious beyond words. It cares for you beyond what words can tell about it.

What is Real it is always at hand, in all situations.  It is the One who knows and who answers.  It is the allness of being.  It is here in its eternalness and you can know it as it is, not as it is portrayed.

It says such loving things to you, about you.  Things that are not too good to be true.  You have forgotten a little bit.  But this is not a concern.  No harm has been done.

Oh, Be Quiet

In the midst of the perceived bluster of human affairs
— it is here.  It is all that matters and Arlene Grastonsimple is the way to it.  No need to worry, for here within is the hearth that burns ever brightly, lighting the room filled with the friends and the tender patience of a deeply meaningful world. 

Just go there now.  Be there now.  Let your understanding be illuminated in ways you could not understand while you were searching for it

Be trustingly quiet and you will know.

 

It Doesn’t Announce Itself

arlene graston
I stand in the Quietness.
Gone are the shadows made by yesterday’s thinking.

As I look into the Void, the past is voided, for only Eternity is here
in the fullness of this tender moment.

It makes no sound, but I know
who I am.

 

It’s All So Simple

Arlene Graston - Simple
The Stillness that has no Name.
The richness of Nothing.
The allness of Everything.
The belonging to Everywhere.

This is what I am made of.  This is what animates me, surrounds me, fills me with Itself that It may have expression and that I may have the joy of aliveness.

It’s all so simple…Life.  Why complicate it?
