You think you’ve got to go

You think you’ve got to go someplace.
But there is no place to go, and there is nothing when you get there.
Nothing that you did in the last thirty seconds or before has any control over you at all, and none of it matters.
There are a lot of people around you who are going to try to run the past on you because they run it on themselves.
And you can just say, “That’s past!”

Right now is the time to partake of everything.
Right now is when the consciousness of reality is present.
There is no time when it will be present other than right now.
Therefore, you don’t have to go anyplace.

– John-Roger   (From: The Tao of Spirit, p.  119)

Can’t you just spend a little time with me?
Can’t you just forsake this world for a little time,
and come in to where you are?
You get in there for a little bit,
and things straighten out quite well.
Then you’re off,
gallivanting around,
and you forsake the very thing that you are.
Yet you must get it so full inside of you
that no matter where you go and what you do,
that is always there.
Those who realize God consciousness are those who enter into it,
hold to it,
and maintain it as the one thing they must never forget.

Do not attempt to keep up with anyone.
Don’t even attempt to keep up with yourself
because your Self is going nowhere.
It’s present.
Here it is.
There is no right to be earned here.
It is given to us by grace.
Therein lies the difference.
The only true right we have is our own inheritance,
and we don’t have to go anywhere
because we’ve already inherited.
That inheritance is absolute truth.
It resides upon itself in itself,
not dependent upon anybody’s point of view
or whether they like it or not.
