Hi movingalways! I serendipitously ran across this quote by Percy Bysshe Shelley today while searching for something else, and since it ties in very well with what you were discussing in a couple of threads today, I thought I'd post it here in this thread, and will do so now :
"Man who would be,
Must rule the empire of himself; in it
Must be supreme, establishing his throne,
Of vanquished will, quelling the anarchy
Of hopes and fears, being himself alone."

Standing in this alone-ness birdie I believe is being pushed out of the nest to truly fly and be born again (remember again) into the truth of our true identity.
Its the sheep gone astray to celebrate in the high place with God. Its not found in the 99 or the multitude of thoughts and concepts about itself in you.
To vanquish our will and to quell the anarchy of our mind away from the thoughts of performance for any expectation to be approved of by anyone and mostly ourselves. Well, thats learning to stand in the strength of Your God given LIFE. Thats creation.
We are afraid to think of not having thought and vanquishing our own agenda and will. What happens from there? Does God really exist apart from what I have as a concept of him, about him?
It really is simple I guess thats why the simple minded get it. God uses the foolish things to confound the wise in my own mind. Its amazing that way. I cant stand until I sit. I cant live until I die. I cant find until I lose etc. etc.
The I Am is all things and "i" of myself can do no-thing.
The higher you go the more subtle/simple it gets and the more you can lose focus of its reality. The reason focus is lost is because it is so subtle/simple. The obvious right in front of your face,the Forest before the trees that sort of thing, Amen. The simplicity of Christ is not rooted in learning its meaning. Those that have an ear this is for you.
Love to all in the best I can give it, Doug.

oooo you know Linda, I'm a strange duck at times  .. I tuck little quotes in here and there once I've experienced them or perhaps better said they 'become' me or I 'become' them (I haven't figured out which yet ... perhaps the 'or' should be an 'and' .. lol. It's so wonderful to realize that all thought is recycled thought .. there is nothing that any of us have ever said or thought, that someone in the Collective 'We' somewhere hasn't already said or thought .. perhaps worded a little differently, but hey no two snowflakes are the exact same pattern .. they are for sure of the same properties or essence but arranged a little differently each time ..  .

Ah hahaha, you know, you're RIGHT, Kerry!! I never "thought" of it that way before, but, YES, all "our" thoughts are nothing new, UNTIL they have passed through EACH Earthworm (US) and become rich 'castings' (as earthworms' products are called) for new growth's sake (whoever or whatever that might entail) in the Divine Collective ( our "Be Hive"! ) For example, here's a thought that "hit" me a few years ago:
"If you want to have good, be have!"

perplexed or frightened
but go on in fortune or in misfortune
at their own private pace
like the ticking of a clock

Our restlessness is largely due
to the fact that
we are as yet
