It is one of the essential by-products of aliveness, of the unitive state, to be in movement. The vacuum is fixed, the spark of the All is constant movement. Man is constantly battling between these two states. He is hankering for nonmovement, therefore he experiences the fear and terror of the vacuum. He wants nonmovement in the illusion that movement will carry him into the vacuum where his consciousness will cease. Yet the life spark within pushes toward movement.

Hence you, on your path, are learning to move your body; learning to move your feelings; learning to move your mind so that your spirit can move you. The moving spirit must be allowed to manifest. Therefore all other personality levels must align with spirit’s innate nature — movement. You move your body in such a way that the energy flow can interpenetrate your entire physical system, your physical energy. You move your feelings by learning to let them out and feel their movement in you.

You move your mind by spreading it to new ways of looking at something. This is a very essential task. Your fixed ideas prevent the spirit from moving your mind and being inspired by higher truth. I do not only refer to general concepts but much more to your immediate life situations and involvements. What happens is that you adopt certain opinions and judgments and then invest so much of your feeling energy into them that you eventually come to believe that these are actually your feelings. The negative energy is being created by fixed, unmoving, and therefore unavoidably untruthful thought and mind processes. The limited truth you believe to be the whole truth then becomes the tool of error and self-deception. (PL #203)
