Third Secret:  Understanding the Nature of Error

Error (discord, disease, lack) is universal mesmerism—a misconception, a belief in “two powers” . Not a reality or power that needs to be fought or overcome. This leads to the practice of non-resistance. “Resist not Evil”

Deep Insight

Inner Knowing and Healing

Practices like mindfulness and meditation, which are essentially forms of moment-to-moment non-resistance, have been shown to lead to reduced stress, lower anxiety, and increased emotional regulation. This is what you have discovered since you started meditation. Research that explores the neurobiological and psychological benefits of these states directly supports the value of non-resistance as a pathway to inner wisdom and psychological health. A non-resistant state clears the mental noise, making “noetic experiences” (intuition, insight) more accessible.

Flow State as “Non-Resistance in Action”

Remember as a child that you could be absorbed by doing something without noticing the time flew by. This can be called a state of Flow. The state of Flow in psychology perfectly describes non-resistance applied to an activity. It is like you let yourself flow down the river, effortlessly. Characteristics of Flow that align with non-resistance, a selflessness. The selflessness is the state where the ‘inner critic” (the source of resistance) is silenced.

Like I shared above, another aspect of Flow is effortlessness. The sense of struggle and frustration vanishes, as there is no internal fight against the difficulty of the task or activity of non-doing.  More obvious is the sense of intense focus or alertness. Attention is fully absorbed, meaning energy is not wasted on resisting distractions or judging the present moment.

Miracles with Jesus

47While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, 48but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him.  [Luke 22: 47-51, ESV ]

Transformative Principles

• Resist not evil is the practice of non-resistance. To see the ‘thread’ has no power and disappears into nothingness
• The flow of Spirit is a state where you are in no way resisting what is given you to do. It is the effortless way of Spiritual Living. Away where you learn that your will and God’s will are one.

Poem

My Inner Sanctuary


Looking for salvation everywhere
everywhere I look: It is not there


I fly to the moon
Prepare my travels to Mars
Lonely am I, separate from all the stars


I start my business
Making in no time a bunch
Still feeling myself a grinch


I invent all the luxury
I never have to do anything
An empty shell is still nothing


My car drives itself
But where on earth does it go
I still experience resistance and no flow


I organized ‘peace’ in all countries
I eliminate all drug-boats
Still find no rest in my soul


In all the places 
I looked for recognition and peace
Just forgot this one


I don't dare to look within
I skipped that area all along
My feelings of guilt are so strong


Stop


Now go within
Calm your concepts
Be still
And listen
Salvation is here
Waiting within you
Ever since time began
