"Drop it" Letting Go of Excess Potential

Your present level of consciousness will only transcend as you drop the present
state and rise to a higher level. You rise to a higher level of consciousness by
taking your attention away from your present limitations and placing it upon that
which you desire to be. When that feeling is yours, drop it. Don’t ask anyone if
what you did was right or wrong; you did it and that’s all that is necessary.
To be worried or concerned about the manner of their unfoldment is to hold these
fertile seeds in a mental grasp and, therefore, to prevent them from really
maturing to full harvest.
Wherever there is excessive potential, Balancing Forces arise, directed towards
its removal. They are created by mental energy when a person gives undue
importance to an object. Balance is destroyed by the excess potential of projected
importance. As you already know, the more important the goal the harder it
becomes to reach. If the artificially high assessment of one object is compared to
another, polarization occurs, and it, in turn, gives rise to the wind of the
balancing forces. They try to eliminate the occurred polarization and in most
cases their action is directed against the one who created it.
In peace, there is no longer any conflict. There is a total absence of negativity
and an all-encompassing lovingness that is experienced as serenity, tranquillity,
timelessness, completion, fulfilment, stillness, and contentment. There is inner
quiet and light, a feeling of oneness, unity, and total freedom.
Actions become effortless, spontaneous, harmonious, and loving in their effect.
There is a shift in perception of the universe and of our relationship to it. The
inner Self prevails. The personal self has been transcended, with all of its
feelings, beliefs, identities, and concerns. This is the ultimate state sought by all
seekers, whether they are religious, humanist, or have no spiritual or
philosophical identification at all.
With the experience of inner peace comes great strength. The person who has
found inner peace can no longer be intimidated, controlled, manipulated, or
programmed. In this state, we are invulnerable to the threats of the world and
have, therefore, mastered earthly life. The hallmark of this level is desire
lessness. There is no need to want for anything because everything manifests in
our life spontaneously and automatically, without conscious will or effort.
Thoughts held in mind at this level are very powerful and tend to manifest
rapidly. The phenomenon of synchronicity is continuous. The mechanisms of
cause and effect and the inner working of the universe stand forth clearly
revealed, as we are now witnessing the very basis of Reality itself.
