To give and to receive are on in truth.
I will receive what I am giving now.
To everyone I offer quietness.
To everyone I offer peace of mind.
To everyone I offer gentleness.

“Light and joy and peace abide in me.
I am as God created me.
God’s will for me is perfect happiness.
I share God’s Will for happiness for me.”

“The path of the pilgrim is the path to a heart that expands and does not constrict. That doesn’t mean we won’t have sorrowful days, but if there is some sorrow, we want sorrow that matters. Both sorrow and joy can stretch us and hone us. The issue is not whether we our day is easy, but whether we spend it with an open heart.” – Marianne Williamson – Illuminata

I was first introduced to the teaching of J. Krishnamurti while studying A Course In Miracles, with Tara Singh while living in Los Angeles. Since then I have found great comfort and wisdom from the teaching of J. Krishnamurti…
The center of suffering
When you see a most lovely thing, a beautiful mountain, a beautiful sunset, a ravishing smile, a ravishing face, that fact stuns you, and you are silent; hasn’t it ever happened to you? Then you hug the world in your arms. But that is something from outside which comes to your mind, but I am talking of the mind which is not stunned but which wants to look, to observe. Now, can you observe without all this upsurging of conditioning? To a person in sorrow, I explain in words; sorrow is inevitable, sorrow is the result of fulfillment. When all explanations have completely stopped, then only can you look -which means you are not looking from the center. When you look from a center, your faculties of observation are limited. If I hold to a post and want to be there, there is a strain, there is pain. When I look from the center into suffering, there is suffering. It is the incapacity to observe that creates pain. I cannot observe if I think, function, see from a center- as when I say, ‘I must have no pain, I must find out why I suffer, I must escape.’ When I observe from a center, whether the center is a conclusion, an idea, hope, despair, or anything else, that observation is very restricted, very narrow, very small, and that engenders sorrow. ~~ J. Krishnamurti, The Book of Life
Let go of the suffering, I believe Krishnamurti is saying here. Release it. Sorrow is inevitable, we all go through it. We can’t get past it if we hold it at our center. It’s a hard lesson, but in time we must release the sorrow and suffering and move through it.

Via Marianne Williamson on Facebook:
”Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.”(ACIM) This isn’t theory; it’s an unalterable fact, a law of the universe. So don’t worry if you can’t see the result of your forgiveness just yet; know that any mental breakthrough from fear to love generates a cosmic engine of miraculous breakthrough as sure as the sun’s rising or setting. That faith on your part — your knowledge of spiritual law — will be a force magnifier that brings the miracle into manifestation more powerfully & quickly.
