I read recently that the hardest world to leave is the one within the heart. That epitomizes the need for a one-centered mind. To the dualistic mind, the hardest world to leave is both the negative (snarks, snubs and pay-back thoughts) and the heart-attached ones (for friends, pets and loves).
Our Journey is ever inward, never outward...it is within that we are united, that we are oned. Looking outward, we cannot know Oneness. One (1) is here looking out there to (2)....
The hardest part of our Journey is learning that to sit and wait on the Lord is all. However, we must needs learn the spiritual meaning of sit and wait. That is where all the activity takes place...the activity of the Father within over which we have no control, no ability to steer in the right direction because our right direction may well be his big red STOP sign.
Our Journey now consists of quieting our conscious mind...bringing it back to infinity on the point of a pin...again and again and again. And again.
In The World Is New (at page 2), Joel Goldsmith holds that the purpose of meditation is to open consciousness to the inflow of the Christ so that it becomes spiritualized....
And there it is, all we need to be ready, not just willing, to begin our Journey.
Thank you.
