Should I stay or should I go? | Utter This One Word Mantra
23 Oct 2024
00:17:16
"Some of you are sitting at the tables I sent you to flip."- Jesus (via @brysoncreates)
And you know who you are.
You know what you are to do.
But you have to check in first.
You have to sit with Him long enough to feel the guidance.
To be guided.
It gets easier and easier hearing past yourself,
past your past.
Your past is trying to inform you about what is possible for you.
But you have no idea what is in store for you.
You think you know.
But you have no idea.
You have to trust.
"Do whatever He tells you...
and your complete trust will be rewarded with complete victory."*
*(John 2:5) and Sister Kley, Schoenstatt Novena Day 9

Not being Love. That's sinning. Not Loving. - Nik
"I confess to almighty God, and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned through my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done, and in what I have failed to do; through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sister, to pray for me to the Lord our God." -PENITENTIAL ACT
"Only by Love can men see Me, and know Me, and come onto Me." -Bhagavad Gita 11:54
"Chant Hare Krishna and everything will come." - Srila Prabhupada
"The Hanuman Chalisa is chanted specifically to remove these obstacles and to destroy any negative tendencies in our hearts and minds. Maharaj-ji said, "Doing prayers like the Hanuman Chalisa is the only way to change fate." The most important part of any spiritual practice is doing it. That is why we should always just "do the practice" and not be overly concerned with or focused on what we think the results might be, or even on our own state of mind or experience. The truth is, it can't be what we think! It just is! It is not up to us to create it-we are simply cleaning the mirror of our hearts so that we can see the reflection of our own true face without distortion." - Krishna Das, Flow of Grace

You ARE the Wine,
the Blood,
the Miracle.
I Love You,

Please grant me the wisdom that I need to make the right decisions that will benefit me and my loved ones long-term. Never leave my side during this shift in my life.

"Tell me, is it possible that Jesus is far from you when you are calling on him, praying to him, seeking him, and —I say it plainly-when you already possess him? Is it possible that a soul who is on the cross with him, is it possible, 1 ask, for God not to be in that soul when he has given his infallible word that he would be with that soul in its tribulations: "I will be with him in trouble" [Psalm 91:15]? How is it possible that the fountain of living water that flows from the divine heart could be far from a soul who runs to it like a thirsty deer? It is true that a soul might not believe that to be the case because it is beset by an inextinguishable and insatiable thirst. But what of it? Is that really an argument that the soul does not possess God? Just the opposite." -Padre Pio to Raffaelina Cerase, October 21, 1915
God wants you to be the Tabernacle. (Surrender Novena Day 7)

"If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." - John 15:4-9
This is when the miracles start--
when you remember there's only Him.
That's when the solutions show up,
when the healings show up,
when you know there's no one here to be healed,
no bones to be broken,
no bank account to be empty,
no internet,
no phone,
no world.
And you remain as This.
Silence.
Stillness.
The Fullness of Nothingness.
Even for just a moment,
and then from that Womb,
everything comes.
Whatever it is,
whatever has got you worried,
stop thinking about it.
You're perpetuating it.
Stop thinking about it.
When you're tempted to think about it,
turn to Him and say, 'What do you think about it?'
And He'll give you how He FEELS about it...
Pause and Feel.
Pause and Love.
:)
You're feeling how He feels about it right now.
This Love is how He feels, always.
There's nothing to worry about.
Your covered.
It's covered.
"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light." - 1 Peter 2:9 ESV
I will be on hiatus for a week while I record the Audiobook for 'Wake Up to Love'! In the meantime, I'll be re-running the first Surrender Novena beginning on Monday. Please share it with a friend, pray it with them, change a life, change yours... more!

Surrender Novena Day 7
"I perform miracles in proportion to your full surrender to me and to your not thinking of yourselves. I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever perform miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So don’t think about it anymore, because your mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you.
O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)
Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.
Amen" - Father Ruotolo

I pray you would be my comfort when I feel alone and it's painful. I pray that you would help me look for and find the blessings and joy you are providing instead of being consumed with all that is so difficult about this.

Staying Connected to Your Soul #GMFavorites

As you read these words, shift from that weak signal to having ALL your bars. A strong connection feels like Love, radiating. It feels like a straighter spine. A smiling face. Belly breaths. It feels like... Home. Welcome back :)

I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com
Today's Quotes:
"Hope, expectancy, and what the world calls faith—this all has to do with a future tense. God has no way of operating except now, a continuing now. “Now is the appointed time,” and this takes away from us the false sense of faith that God will meet our rent on the first of the month.
It helps us to realize that God does not operate in the future, because that takes away from us the false sense of expectancy and the false sense of faith it gives us. “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” so omnipresent I is a continuing experience, but not one that begins tomorrow. If faith has anything to do with anything beyond this moment it is not faith at all. You may say that you will not have fruit on your fruit trees until next month; but I say to you—if the law is not operating in your trees now, there never will be fruit. It is only the operation of the nowness that brings fruit in its season. It is what is happening in the tree now that determines the fruit to be on the tree. So it is, that which is taking place in our consciousness now determines the fruitage in our bodies, in our pocketbook, in our family, in our life—next week, next month, next year. " - Joel Goldsmith 'Consciousness Transformed' (pp. 114-116). Acropolis Books, Inc..
"This life is about finding a way to be in the world that connects you to your Soul." -Ram Dass
"And now these three remain: faith, hope, love, but the greatest of these is Love." -1 Corinthians 13:13

“I AM come here within you to be your life everlasting. I AM to resurrect you out of any tomb into which you may have fallen: the tomb of sin, the tomb of disease, the tomb of poverty, the tomb of unhappiness. Into whatever tomb you have fallen, I, your Christ-self, am here to resurrect you, to bring you back to the Father’s house so that you will “die” to that flesh and blood and bone belief, and actually witness your Self as you are, the Christ, the perfect son of God, the perfect offspring of the perfect Substance, Life, and Being.” — The Altitude of Prayer by Joel S. Goldsmith
"He is the wisest who seeks God. He is the most successful who has found God." - Yogananda

Releasing Resistance to Love #GMFavorites
15 Jun 2022
00:05:32
"I release all inner resistance and doubt. I trust my inner power." - Louise Hay
Today, when you notice that familiar resistance to feeling Love, don't force It... simply invite It in. It's a light intention. A gentle turning toward and recognizing. And in the instant you remember to turn, you are immediately aware of It, as It. Love wasn't covering Its face, we were covering ours. Let's take our hands down from over our eyes, and look... feel.

“You must remember that the Name represents God within you. So you repeat any Name you hold dear and fill yourself with Divine ecstasy. This is the easiest and best method by which you can purify yourself. Think of God and you become the image of God. Take the holy Name and you become holy. - Ramdas

“Gazing upon this world, you are fooled. It is not worth even half a shell. Only the name of the Lord of the Universe is permanent.” -Gurbani
"After no great lapse of time I had the feeling that the prayer had, so to speak, by its own action passed from my lips to my heart. Further there came into my heart and precious warmth. None of these things made me feel at all cast down. It was as though they were happening to someone else and I merely watched them. The prayer brought sweetness into my heart and made me unaware of everything else." - The Way of A Pilgrim

Don't Be the Worker, Be the Watcher
13 Jun 2022
00:05:02
Becoming the Witnessing Consciousness is a very subtle shift, that in the beginning brings about very subtle changes... so subtle you won't notice them until people start bringing them to your attention.
"You look happier." "You look younger." "You're so easy to talk to you, I love your energy."
But It's God's Light they're feeling. It's God they're seeing. It's God they're hearing. And they don't know. You know. You know what Is, You have what Is. You're aware of what Is, aware of God, between the space of where you are and where you want to be, trusting that as long as you continue to practice feeling Go(o)d, the work you're doing, the work you're watching, becomes your path.

Affirm: I will not react to appearances today, I will see through them. #GMFavorites
13 Jun 2022
00:12:48
My life depends on me being Love, because when I'm being Love, I can see through appearances, and when I can see through appearances, they change.
This is how you see yourself out of any situation you have outgrown. Not through resistance. When the resistance comes up, immediately see through it, too! See through every thought, through every emotion, through every person, place, and thing, to the REAL. And let the REAL manifest and define Itself.
Note: The REAL feels like the feeling of Love in and as that body. And you can sense It even when the body is discordant.
I Love you and I'm with you! Nik nikki@curlynikki.com
Quotes:
"The two worse feelings in the world are not having a job and having a job." -Unknown via IG
" In wealth is the fear of poverty, in knowledge the fear of ignorance, in beauty the fear of age, in fame the fear of backbiters, in success the fear of jealousy, even in body is the fear of death. Everything in this earth is fraught with fear. He alone is fearless who has given up everything." -Swami Vivekananda
"Do not try to control matter. Know it does not exist. You control it by knowing it does not exist." -Herb Fitch
"Being never came into being because It is eternal. Therefore nothing in the three-dimensional world ever came into being. It came into appearing. " -Bob Pilato
"In 2022, I resolve not to react to appearances, but to see through them." -Gil Michaels

Knowing that only God exists is the deepest rest possible
12 Jun 2022
00:06:45
A short and powerful meditation on the 'I' that you are, and how knowing It, is the deepest, most regenerative rest possible. When you know that only It is here, there's nothing left to think or worry about because whatever you're thinking or worrying about, isn't there... where it appears to be Love is. Bliss is. The Bliss that you're sitting in right now. The spacious and loving 'I' that you'll be walking through later. Feel This and be free.
And here's a bonus activity from Wayne Dyer:
"Think of the five words -- "I am that I am." In your mind, place a comma after the word "that." Let "that" represent for you what you would like to manifest, or become as a person. I can't stress this enough -- write down on paper precisely what that represents for you. Whatever constitutes your wish, write it down and in your mind, call it "that." For example, "that" could mean your perfect health or abundance or a specific job or a happy, loving partnership. Write it down and be specific. And as you close your eyes in meditation, let your inner mantra be "I am that." For example, "I am perfect health," "I am abundance," "I am in possession of the job I seek."
You take it a step further and let 'that' be... THAT... the All that is being everything and nothing. And then let THAT become what It's destined to be. That's trust. Surrender.
"Who am I ? Feel your reality in the stillness, in the quietness, where there is no mind, no thought, no words, who are you then? You just are. I Am. I Am. I Am not this. I Am not that. I Am. I Am that which has always been, I Am that which will always be, I Am That I Am. " -Robert Adams
"I exist’ is the only permanent self-evident experience of everyone. Nothing else is so self-evident as ‘I am’. (…) So to do self-enquiry and be that ‘I am’ is the only thing to do. ‘I am’ is reality. I am this or that is unreal. I am is truth, another name for Self." -Ramana Maharshi
"Deep rest is bliss, and bliss is the understanding that only God exists. Knowing that only God exists is the deepest rest possible." -Ravi Shankar

You Have to Feel the Invisible to Do the Impossible #GMFavorites
12 Jun 2022
00:14:50
Today's Quotes:
"You have to see the invisible in order to do the impossible." - Dr. Michael Beckwith
"The universe is saying: Allow me to flow through you unrestricted and you will see the greatest magic you have ever seen." - Klaus Joehle
"Praying for a change in your life, well maybe it's gon' come tonight." - Kanye West
Today's Practice:
In your journal write, "The moment I feel Love, I Am ___________." The 'blank' is your desired reality. Trust that when you are consciously feeling Love, you are Love, and that Love will take the form of that desired reality or something even more in alignment than you can presently imagine. Don't be attached to outcomes, just trust that It will provide. It always has and It always will, and now, the process is conscious.
Keep relaxing into Love, today. Keep breathing into Love, today. Allowing It to flow unrestricted, absolutely nothing is impossible, and with Love, "everything is achieved." - Neem Karoli Baba

You do not heal 'from' trauma. You find healing 'in' the trauma. #GMFavorites
11 Jun 2022
00:07:41
When you find and hold Love before, during, and after the Cross you've been given to bear, you find that not only are you healed but that you can heal. That your Presence Itself is healing. Because It is everything. And It is perfect.
I Love you, Nik
Today's Quotes:
"You do not heal 'from' trauma. You simply come to know yourself as Life Itself.
And you turn towards the wounded place. And you flush it with attention, which is love.
And maybe the wound will always be with you. Maybe you will always walk with the hurt. But now, you hold it. It doesn't hold you. You are the container, not the contained.
It doesn't control you any longer, the wound. Because it is drenched in awareness now. Drenched in You. Loved by You. Even celebrated by You.
You do not heal 'from' trauma. You find healing 'in' the trauma. You find yourself at trauma's sacred core. The One who is always present. The One who can bear even the most intense feeling states. And survive. The Indestructible One. The Infinite One. The Powerful One. You." - Jeff Foster
"To love is human To feel pain is human But to feel love despite the pain is pure angel." -Rumi
"A boy came one time and asked, “Maharajji, did Jesus really get angry?” As soon as Maharajji heard the word “Jesus,” tears came to his eyes. He was sitting up when the question was asked, and he leaned over on his elbow and tapped his heart three times with tears coming down from his eyes. There was total silence for a moment. Maharajji had brought the reality of Christ into everyone’s consciousness, and he said, “Christ never got angry. When he was crucified he felt only love. Christ was never attached to anything; he even gave away his own body.” And at that point everyone was crying—we had gone through the complete Passion of Christ. And all of a sudden he sat up and said, “The mind can travel a million miles in the blink of an eye—Buddha said that.” -Maharajji

Affirm: I Am fed from within #GMFavorites
10 Jun 2022
00:08:11
Let's take a moment to feel the truth of our existence, the source of our sustenance, the peace of the One that is meditating in us. He chants in me. She's the Silence in you. It's the Love we are, and It feeds us.
"I am fed from within. Don’t change your outer way of living but inwardly know where and what Source is. Break this attachment to the outer world. Break the belief that you’re dependent on man for justice, or for loans, or for forgiveness, or for your support. It takes a while to break your attachment to the outer world, but you can do it if you can remember the word, 'Now'.
Now, am I and my Father one. Now, do I draw upon the Kingdom of God within me. Now, do I seek living waters within myself, the bread of life, the staff of life within myself. No longer do I seek from 'man whose breath is in his nostrils', but now I know my attunement is the secret of the spiritual life. Turning within a hundred times a day just for a momentary remembrance, 'thank you Father, the Kingdom is within me', 100 times a day. Just smiling at the remembrance that now you are one with the infinite, the entire infinite is flowing forth into your experience." -Joel Goldsmith
"To go within means to come out of thinking. And when you come out of thought, you are within. When you find the moment of rest from thought, you are in Consciousness. -Herb Fitch

"Regard the sensations of life as an endless parade. You are Awareness seated at the reviewing stand, and the parade of sensations, actions, and thoughts is passing before you. This perspective will keep you from getting caught up in any particular entry..." -Bob Pilato
"The finest emotion of which we are capable of is the mystic emotion... here in lies the germ of all art and all true science. Anyone to whom this feeling is alien, who is no longer capable of wonderment and lives in a state of fear, is a dead man... This knowledge, this feeling... this is the core of the true religious sentiment. In this sense, and in this sense alone, I rank myself among profoundly religious men." -Albert Einstein via The Supreme Awakening I (highly recommended book of awakening stories by Craig Pearson, PhD)
"Mystic comes from the Greek word 'to close'; your eyes, your ears, presumably to dive within and experience the 'germ of all art and true science'." -Craig Pearson, The Supreme Awakening
"It takes a special kind of commitment to do what you're doing. To commit to the growth of your mind, the health of your body, the expansion of your soul, and the fruition of your purpose. One step at a time because that next step may be the one that helps you round the corner on something big in your life. At times it's hard to keep the momentum, but you always seem to find a way to get it going. No matter what. And that's where progress lies. That's where your commitment to your Self becomes your Truth. -via IG @SourceMessages
THIS Automatically Dissolves Negative Beliefs #GMFavorites

"The 'problem' with most people who believe in God, is that they also believe in the devil. That's believing in two powers rather than only one!" -Gil Michaels
"'...error is not real and it has no power.' That is an incomplete statement because error does have power until it comes into contact with an illumined consciousness. We should first complete the sentence by saying, 'error is not power in the presence of an illumined consciousness.' Illumined consciousness is of course not human consciousness with knowledge. You must bring the actual presence of God into the situation. Harmony begins to come into your experience only as you attain the actual realized presence of God or spirit of God. You can sum up the evils of the world in the words 'temporal power'. Nothing happens to the errors that come into your experience until you have attained the realization of the presence of God-- then temporal power is dissolved as darkness is dissolved in the presence of light. Which means that evil or error of any nature is not power in the presence of the realized presence of God." -Joel Goldsmith
"Faith is the greatest thing Jesus wanted us to learn: not blind faith in mere words, but faith born of the experience of his inner presence." -Swami Kriyananda
Today's Practice: Catch yourself believing in secondary powers. Every time a thought is noticed about the inherent power of dollars or the media, immediately turn to the felt-presence of Love. That's it. You don't have to replace the thought or change the belief. Just feel Love, and watch as every unnecessary belief is dissolved on sight. This Love doesn't bring you into alignment, it IS alignment. The moment you feel It, you're being your Self. The moment you feel It, you're back on the Throne... it's Go(o)d here :)

There Are Places You Haven't Been Where You Already Belong #GMFavorites
08 Jun 2022
00:09:02
You are both in that place, and you're not. You're both the seed, and the oak tree. You're both the bud, and the rose in full bloom. You're both you, and God. Walk in your power by noticing what's NOT walking while that body appears to be. Stillness. Be That. Be (T)here. Consciously, always.
"Once I said to God, 'How do you teach us?' And He replied, 'If you were playing chess with someone who had infinite power and infinite knowledge and wanted to make you a master of the game where would all the chess pieces be at every moment? Indeed, not only where he wanted them, but where all were best for your development; and that is every situation of one’s life.’” -St. John of the Cross via ‘Love Poems from God’ by Daniel Ladinsky
"...Your humanity isn't an error. All your desires are part of the journey." -Ram Dass

If Life is But a Dream, How Can We Wake Up? #GMFavorites
07 Jun 2022
00:15:14
Today's Quote: "Past karmas can't be settled one by one. They get settled all at once, in a single moment, when you realize that all of this is a dream. When you realize that you didn't do anything you think you did." - @ImmortalTalks via IG
Today's Practice: Set your phone timer to go off once an hour on the hour to remind yourself that this is all like a dream. To remember to remember to hold the thread of Truth. To feel for the essence of Love in every seeming moment. Only Love is here. Only Love is real. Today's practice is to live lucidly, aware that "life is but a dream." And to smile to that dream : )
Bonus quotes: Ramana Maharshi on the nature of reality- ‘The world should be considered like a dream.' - from Who Am I? 'Waking is long and a dream short; other than this there is no difference.' - from Who Am I? 'The present waking state is no more than a dream.' - from Talks 244 'The so-called waking state is itself an illusion.'- from Talks 199
Nisargadatta Maharaj on the nature of reality- "The dream is not your problem. Your problem is that you like one part of your dream and not another. Love all, or none of it, and stop complaining. When you have seen the dream as a dream, you have done all that needs be done."

Hardships Often Prepare Ordinary People for an Extraordinary Destiny. #GMFavorites
06 Jun 2022
00:11:34
A quick review of different 'doors' or practices to keep you in Love this week, to get you through and beyond your hardships to the Go(o)d that awaits. The Go(o)d you deserve. The Go(o)d you ARE. The Go(o)d that IS.
The only one I forgot to mention (that helped me TREMENDOUSLY) was:
1. Notice when you're worrying about something 2. Remember that you don't feel bad because what you're worrying about is true (or will come true), you feel bad because it's NOT TRUE. It's false. And that's the only reason you feel 'off'... because God doesn't agree with you on that subject. When you and God differ on a topic, you get a sign. And that sign is 'worry', or 'fear'. 3. Feel the relief in that remembrance and feel Go(o)d again. Now you and God agree! 4. And watch what happens :)
Finally, a seed to be planted-
“Your own concepts have created "walls" and so you need a "door." But when there are no concepts, there are no walls.” -Ravi Shankar

Chanting is the Fast Pass at Disney World #GMFavorites
05 Jun 2022
00:09:53
DM's with my Go(o)d friend, Ganesh Das, on IG last week inspired today's episode. Chant and proceed :)
"Nik: I had a mini revelation a few weeks ago that because we found God's Love, it’s like we can’t help but be in line… we are in cue for Home. But unless we are actively chanting, the line doesn't move very much lol. When we chant, it starts moving again 😂
Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but me, but yeah... Things move when I’m doing my 16 rounds. Stagnation is felt otherwise, inside and out.
Ganesh Das: 🤯 That’s it!! Perfect visual representation. Wow. Chanting is the the Fast Pass at Disney World 🤣"
"If we don't fill our mind with prayer, it will fill itself with anxieties, worries, temptation, resentment, and unwelcome memories." - Unknown via IG
Chanting is the Fast Pass for our world, for this level of Consciousness. Silently, inwardly, calling on God, that's how we pray, that's how we move. We fill our minds and hearts with Love and have the time of our lives!
I Love you and I'm with you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com
**Today, I also shared an excerpt from Ram Dass' Miracle of Love, and mentionedthis episodeabout the sacred breath prayer.

How I Let Go of Anger #GMFavorites
04 Jun 2022
00:13:19
Today's Quotes:
"When God loves people He afflicts them. If they endure with fortitude, He chooses them." - Rumi
"If only you can go through difficult times with inner Grace, every situation you face will be an opportunity to enhance your life." -Sadhguru
"Don't stop believing, hold on to the feeling."- Journey, 1988
Today's Practice: The next time you're angry, shift from being the one who is angry, to being the One that is aware that anger has come. It's a simple (not easy, lol) shift that happens the moment you become aware of Silence, or Love, or your mantra. You go from being angry to being the Loving Awareness of anger. Cut on some music, take a shower, change the scene (switch rooms) if you can...pause, breathe, smile. And then let Love move that body into right action. Let Love heal everything, because It is everything.

How to Get Over the Fear of Checking Your Bank Account #GMFavorites
03 Jun 2022
00:10:43
Everything works when you know what everything is made of. Everything flows when you know It's all Love. Money is Love, too. It's energy, too. FEEL MORE.
"Never confuse outer symbols for reality. Know them for what they are. Always turn within where Reality dwells allowing the living soul of you to speak for you the Truth.
Always know that the Life Force which lives you is your guide and you will never confuse reality for that which is unreal.
Always do you have access to the holy shrine within you. Come now to that shrine, let us be still together." -Eva Bell Werber from 'In His Presence'
"When formerly answering my mail or phone calls, if a student said, “I have a cold,” or “I need a job,” or “Business is bad,” or “I have family trouble,” I would reply that I would take care of it, assuming they knew and understood that I was going to take care of a spiritual realization. However, since I discovered that they were perfectly willing to stay in the attitude of problems and demonstrations, I stopped that practice about a year ago [circa 1963]. It is a form of metaphysics I do not understand. All I can do is try to lift you into a spiritual consciousness where you become aware of the presence of the Christ. I can do nothing about those other things. -Joel Goldsmith, 1964 London Class

Come to Life - Unfold Your True Purpose #GMFavorites
02 Jun 2022
00:08:51
"You've got to be centered in God, that's your number one priority. That's all you've got to do at all times- to be centered in God and everything must come your way, it's a law. Spirit draws unto Itself. Spirit will employ you because Spirit is you. But if you're not Spirit or if you disclaim being Spirit or if you act like a human and not Spirit, how can Spirit serve?" -Herb Fitch
"Your Heart knows the way. Run in that direction." - Rumi
"Things that excite you are not random. They are connected to your purpose. Follow Them." - Deepak Chopra
"There's so much peace in knowing that you will not miss out on what's meant for you." -unknown on IG
The Kanye West song I mentioned, 'Come to Life' from Donda (track 22).
Today's Practice: Take out your notebook and write down your 'thing'. That thing you can't stop talking about. That thing you would do for free. And start doing some form of it today. Begin unfolding your Soul's purpose. Come to Life. Come to Love. Tell Divine Love, tell God that you're ready.

Turn from your problems to My Presence
01 Jun 2022
00:06:09
When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter.* You live in a new way, You see in a new way, you consistently feel a new way, and so God does a new thing. He's already done It. But now you're about to see It. You're walking right into It. I N E V I T A B L E, your blessings.
"My child. Your mind leaps from problems to problems to problems, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots. When you think like that, you leave Me out of your worldview and your mind becomes darkened. Though I yearn to help, I will not violate your freedom. I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that I am with you. When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter. Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to "fix" everything gives way to a deep, satisfying connection with Me. Together we can handle whatever this day brings. -Sarah Young, "Jesus Calling"
"Whatever action we are doing, we should be sure to keep the thought of God alive within. Whenever we sit or get up, we should prostrate in that place. It is good to cultivate the habit of considering our pen, books, clothes, vessels, and the tools of our job as imbued with divine presence and use them with care and respect. This will help keep the thought of God alive throughout our body, mind, and atmosphere." -Amma
“A day of silence can be a pilgrimage in itself.” -Hafiz

When You Forget You're the Watcher, You Become the Thinker #GMweekends
13 Jul 2024
00:04:28
There's no 'you' watching anything. There's just watching, always, already. In each moment we practice waking up from the dream of being the thinker, into a truer reality of being the formless Watching.
"Breath is the cause of thought, it will create thought when there is no one watching it." -Swami Lakshmanjoo
"The winds of God's grace are always blowing, it is for us to raise our sails." -Ramakrishna
"Mind and breath have the same source. Hence breath is controlled when mind is controlled and mind when breath is controlled. Breath is the gross form of the mind." -Ramana Maharshi
Whatever Happens Around You Now, Will Be A Passing Cloud
30 May 2022
00:05:41
See through your clouds all week. This idea of a week, even a short one, is a cloud. Going back to work tomorrow, a cloud. Are you going to meet it with fatigue, annoyance, avoidance? Or can you meet it with His smile in your heart, and a smile on your face? Facing your clouds and seeing through them is how you qualify for God's calling on your life.
Today's Quotes: "Every hurt that has ever come into our experience has been the direct result of our inability to behold this universe as spiritual." -Joel Goldsmith, Practicing the Presence
"If you want the Truth, I'll tell you the Truth: Listen to the Secret Sound, the Real Sound, which is inside you." -Kabir
"If life on Earth is temporary, then why should we think that our problems are permanent? So enjoy every moment with happiness." -Sadhguru
"God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called." -Mark Batterson

"If you surrender totally to God, He will make sure that you don't lack anything." -Amma via @Ramdasbatchelder via IG
“When you are free of your identity and your person, nothing more needs to be learned. It's like another power, a great presence, flowing through this body and it doesn't seem strange. The less there is of you, the more you are. What a paradox! You without you are the real You. You without your person are the face of God. Your life doesn't get more complex, more sophisticated, more learned. You are not becoming a great scholar. It is so simple, there is a presence, wisdom, love, unlimited. A peace, unbreakable, alive, without end. Not a person. And yet you feel it inside, 'I don't do anything, I simply am.'” -Mooji

The God Who Stays
27 May 2022
00:08:15
Simply thinking, 'the Presence goes before me’, is not enough. You have to listen for that Presence, feel for It. In the feeling of It, It has already 'gone before you to make the crooked places straight', It's healing what's behind you, and It's where and what you are presently, performing miracles. When you stay with Him. He stays with you. In you. As you. Consciously.
“God is compassion. He is waiting at the door of every heart. He is an uninvited guest everywhere, because whether you call Him or not, He is there. Whether you are a believer or a nonbeliever, He is within you uninvited. Behind every form, behind everything, God is hiding. He beautifies things and makes them what they are. He is the hidden formula of life. But He won’t reveal Himself to you. You won’t feel Him unless you call Him. Prayer is the invitation. You must invoke Him through prayer and meditation. Chanting, singing and repeating the mantra are invitations, asking God to reveal Himself.” -Amma
"The Presence does go before you, and It “makes the crooked places straight”—if you have the conscious awareness of the Presence. There are persons all over the world declaring, “The Presence goes before me,” and It does not do a single thing for them. No, no, the Presence does not go before you just because you declare some words, nor is God consciously present with you just because you declare It.
God is an experience. God must be experienced, and we experience God through our meditation. I am not saying meditation is the only way to have the experience. There are people on earth who have never meditated who have a conscious awareness of the presence of God all the time. But those who have not had the experience of the presence of God have not lived, and if they have not experienced the presence of God, it is because they have not specifically known the truth and then gone to the source where God is to be found.
Do you understand now what I mean when I point out there must be discipline and a declaration or statement of truth, a realization of truth, and yet, in the same breath, I say that when you get to the point of prayer or treatment, you do not need words or thoughts? Let this be clear to you. Do not hesitate about it, because it is very important."
-Joel S. Goldsmith: The Only Freedom. Chapter Six; The Discipline of Knowing The Truth; Practice Is Essential; Kindle: location pp 99
"We've been together for a while now We're growing stronger everyday now It feels so good and there's no doubt I will stay with you as each morning brings the sunrise And the flowers bloom in springtime On my love you can rely And I'll stay with you

Love comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant, and is still.
26 May 2022
00:06:31
This Holy Silence is God saying;
"There is no problem... that mind that is so heavy? It isn't even there, because I'm there. I'm here. Hear Me. Listen to Me."
And in that listening your shoulders come down, your breath deepens, lengthens, your stomach goes soft, your jaw relaxes, you become aware of the weight of your phone in your hand, and even though that face may not be smiling just yet, your Heart Is. And that's the 'upleveling'.
"The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still." -ACIM
"Become so still you can hear the blood flowing through your veins." -Mira
"Now when an emotional upset starts, it may start out of a thought process, but then it starts to involve all of the body — the adrenaline and all kinds of chemical reactions. Then often, one of the ways out of it is to work with the body. For example, running or movement. Taking a walk. Doing things which start to release the energy, the kind of chemical buildup. Because you get that kind of nervous energy when you are emotionally upset. Then there is meditation–quieting down and allowing yourself to see how lost you’ve gotten. I mean on the deeper devotional path, there is the offering of the emotion to God. Saying, “Here, You take it. I offer it to You.” There is appreciating your humanity. “Yea, here I am. I’m human. I just lost it again. Ah so!” There’s the Ah so — Right? “Okay. Once more. Boy, am I hung up.” These are all spiritual techniques. See, it’s the upleveling. It’s the ability to see it without denying it. Not saying, “I’m not really upset.” “I am upset. Far out. Here we are again.” It’s like talking with God and saying “Oh, look at how deliciously human I am.” Not to milk it. Not to keep feeding it, but not to push it away. That’s the quickest way through. To acknowledge it, allow it, and then use body energy to keep working out the chemical stuff that’s built up and the tension in the body that’s been built up. And then get on with it and just keep letting go, letting go, letting go. Sometimes music does it. There are a lot of techniques that do it." -Ram Dass
“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one” -Rumi
"Gain this consciousness of God’s presence and you have the whole secret of success in every walk of life. ...

Enter Into the Unknowing
25 May 2022
00:09:46
That which sees the waves of unknowing and the waves of knowing, the waves of doubt, and the waves of clarity, is beyond both. That, you are. Like kneeling over a disturbed lake, trying to see your reflection through the waves, you can see something, you can see a distortion, but as the waves calm down, as the lake goes still again, there you are. When the mind is still, like it is right now, more aware of silence than anything else, there you are (t)here, God is.
"When you feel pulled into two different directions, surrender into the not knowing. It's okay to not know what direction to go in when you feel this conflict. It's your heart teling you to release control, to make space and allow spirit to lead you through." -@JessicaDelmar_ via IG
"I entered into unknowing and remained there, knowing nothing. This place transcends all thought. I had no idea where I was, but when I found myself there (without knowing where there was) I suddenly understood sublime things, ineffable things." -St John of the Cross
"This is what you are to do: lift your heart up to the Lord, with a gentle stirring of love desiring him for his own sake and not for his gifts. Center all your attention and desire on him and let this be the sole concern of your mind and heart. Do all in your power to forget everything else, keeping your thoughts and desires free from involvement with any of God's creatures or their affairs whether in general or particular. Perhaps this will seem like an irresponsible attitude, but I tell you, let them all be; pay no attention to them. ... And so diligently persevere until you feel the joy in it. For in the beginning it is usual to feel nothing but a kind of darkness about your mind, or as it were, a cloud of unknowing. You will seem to know nothing and to feel nothing except a naked intent toward God in the depths of your being. Try as you might, this darkness and this cloud will remain between you and your God. You will feel frustrated, for your mind will be unable to grasp him, and your heart will not relish the delight of his love. But learn to be at home in this darkness. Return to it as often as you can, letting your spirit cry out to him who you love. For if, in this life, you hope to feel and see God as he is in himself it must be within this darkness and this cloud. But if you strive to fix your love on him forgetting all else, which is the work of contemplation I have urged you to begin, I am confident that God in his goodness will bring you to a deep experience of himself." -Excerpt from 'The Cloud of Unknowing'

Find Go(o)d in the Space Between
24 May 2022
00:06:00
God isn't revealed in the words, you feel Him in the s p a c e between them. Then you grab hold of that wordless feeling, the 'I Am", and you keep feeling It throughout the words, throughout all the noise of the world, feeling the Kingdom while experiencing the world. That's inner freedom. The only freedom. And then It appears to become evident as your outer freedom.
When you talk to me, I listen to the space between the words, to you, the words are real, to me, the space is real. The space is Consciousness, while the words are just a mark on Consciousness." -Robert Adams

Clean Your Heart and God Will Move In
23 May 2022
00:09:03
Watch your thoughts and watch yourself watching the thoughts. Watch your mantra, and watch yourself watching the mantra. Your mantra cleans up the inside, and because in the Kingdom there is no inside or outside, it cleans up what appears to be the outside for you, too. It cleans up your relationships, it cleans up your career, it cleans up how you relate to your children, it cleans up how you relate to your Self. But it all begins with how you relate to your thoughts in this moment. Assume responsibility for your practice, for your life, until you realize that the responsibility is God's. And that you do what you can, until Grace kicks in. Until the Holy Spirit flows in, and the blocks are cleared, and the path is open, and your success is established.
“Christ may make His home in your hearts” -Ephesians 3:17
"If you clear the cobwebs of material sense from the darkest corners of your mind, you will be preparing a place for the inflow of the Holy Spirit. As that Divine Presence then establishes Itself as the Primal Force in your soul and consciousness, It will go before you to lighten all burdens of the human condition that have been restricting your progress on the path to mystical illumination. So, take every opportunity to retire often to the inner sanctum of your being, where this cleansing process can occur and then, allow this hallowed Presence to work Its magic in your ongoing life unfoldment." -Don Mardak
"Watch your thoughts and watch yourself watching the thoughts. The state of freedom from all thoughts will happen suddenly and by the Bliss of It, you shall recognize It." -Nisargadatta Maharaj
"Stuck with another day, how should we pass it? If anything worked for you before-- I'd give that preference." -Mira via Daniel Ladinsky's, 'Love Poems from God'

This is your life on Love. Where every thorn becomes a rose, and every thought becomes Go(o)d. You think about God all day the way you used to think about your problems all day. You feel Go(o)d all day no matter what comes, by intending, "I'm feeling Go(o)d anyway". And you smile. And the world smiles. Because God is.

"It is an insult to your Self to be born, live, and die without knowing the answer to the mystery of why you were sent here as a human being in the first place. To forget God is to miss the whole point of existence. Learn to feel God, and to enjoy Him." -Yogananda

"You don't always have to pray until the walls fall down. You don't always have to beg until you have no words left. You don't always have to be in battle mode. What if surrender is the key? What if rest is what God is asking? What if your ability to let it go is the very act that God uses to bring the promise? Sometimes the promise comes right when we're letting go. Maybe your surrender is the final test!" - @Godlywaiting
"Sri Ramana: What is meditation? It consists of the expulsion of thoughts. All the present troubles are due to thoughts and are themselves thoughts. Give up thoughts. That is happiness and also meditation. D: How are thoughts given up? M.: The thoughts are for the thinker. Remain as the Self of the thinker and there is an end of thoughts. (Talk 452) D.: How is meditation to be practiced? Sri Ramana: Meditation is, truly speaking, Atmanishtha (to be fixed as the Self). But when thoughts cross the mind and an effort is made to eliminate them the effort is usually termed meditation. Atmanishtha is your real nature. Remain as you are. That is the aim. D.: But thoughts come up. Is our effort meant to eliminate thoughts only? Sri Ramana: Yes. Meditation being on a single thought, the other thoughts are kept away."- (Talk 294), Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi
You Are Closer To Your Victory Than You Are To Where You Came From

The moment you step onto God's escalator, going up, like at the airport, you loosen your grip on your baggage, you relax a bit, you can rest. Even though at times it feels like you're taking two steps forward and one step back, doubting, believing, doubting, believing, you're still rising. You're still going up. Everything is happening, the good and the bad, while you're continuing the inevitable ascent, back to the Home you never left.

"Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit." When we have learned not to resist evil, not to fight it, and not to try to get God to fight it for us, we will not have to labor for our good: we will receive it by Grace. Our very acknowledgment of the unreal and illusory nature of the discords of this world is the spiritual power." -Joel Goldsmith

The Creator is Hidden in the Creation
19 May 2022
00:05:51
As you learn to let go of thinking even as the thinking is happening, shifting the attention out of the mind, and down into the silence of the Heart, the looking becomes Loving. And in that Loving vision, everything is perfect. That's God's vision, the original vision for your life.
"The path is the destination, and the destination is hidden in the path, as the Creator is hidden in the creation." -Sadguru
"There's no one in your life who hasn't always loved you. They're all just learning how to show it. Like you. It's simply a matter of applying what you have to what you face..." -Mike Dooley, The Complete Notes from the Universe

What Does it Mean to Have the Faith of a Mustard Seed?
18 May 2022
00:05:31
Everything, the good and the bad brought you to this moment, to this level of growth where the Love is now growing new experiences, new opportunities to bring you closer to God, new opportunities to help you exercise trust, the way you trust that mustard seed you plant will grow into a plant? You have to trust that you're growing into all that you're destined to be.
“And He said to them…. “for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you." -Matthew 17:20
“When you recognize her beauty, the eye applauds, the heart stands in an ovation, and the tongue when she is near is on its best behavior, it speaks more like light. What does light talk about? I asked a plant that once, It said, “I am not sure, but it makes me grow.” –Thomas Aquinas, “Love Poems from God”, translated by Daniel Ladinsky
"Ask yourself, "during this silent time in the Presence, did I fear anything or anyone?" Your answer will certainly be, 'No'. This is your true state of Being. Accept no other." -Allen White
'The Inner Light is beyond praise and blame; like space it knows no boundaries, yet it is even here, within us, ever retaining its serentiy and fullness. It is only when you hunt for it that you lose it; you cannot take hold of it, but equally you cannot get rid of it, and while you can do neither, it goes on its own way." -Yung- Chia Ta-Shih

This Love is Building Your New Life
17 May 2022
00:05:00
As long as you don't forget that you're actually Love, that you're the underlying pattern, the building blocks and the glue of all of creation, then your foundation is strong, and you can build higher.
It's like you're in the trenches and you're building, and you can't really see what you're building, but you just keep trusting, and you just keep listening for Silence, and you just keep feeling for Love. Every time you feel this Love, every time this Love touches you, that's another brick. That's another level. This Love is building your new Home, It's building your new life. Keep going.
"Make up your mind. Whom shall you follow? Will you follow your ego, your emotions and what appears to be real? Or will you begin to ignore those things and dive into your Self becoming free? The choice is yours." -Robert Adams

A New Day is Dawning
16 May 2022
00:06:51
The moment you touch His Peace, the mind dissolves, and you're back where the sun never sets. You're back where there is no suffering. You're back where there is no 'you', and none of your problems, and none of your limitations. Just the Christ. And you'll watch the Christ manifest Itself where you appear to be. It fulfills Itself where you appear to be. It serves and heals others where you appear to be. It lives where you appear to be, right now, It lives. God lives. Thank God, and smile.

"However long the night, the dawn will break." -Rumi
"Unconditioned awareness is just like a light--I don't mean a light you can see, but the light that is seeing." -Adyashanti
"You give up not meditating. It's called meditation action. There's no way out of it. Meditation means to be constantly extricating yourself from the clinging of mind." -Ram Dass
"The new day is at hand, the birds are awakening, the air is soft and sweet, and for you also a new day is dawning. You feel that you have lived, have loved, have rejoiced and sorrowed; but I say to you, that which has seemed of such importance was only as the threads of silken web drawing ing you up to Me. Your life shall unfold. You are, as it were, but at the beginning of that which never began. The page lies fresh and white before you even as does the new day. Old things shall rule you no more. Old ways shall tempt you no more. You shall go on and up the sunlit lit path with Me. If at times you seem to be back again and the old familiar ways seem to take possession of you, only turn within and know that the One who dwells on the throne of your heart is after all that which is eternal. As you do your work, as you meet My children on the path, you will be love-filled and understanding, for it shall be the Christ in you who sees and works. All things shall be done with Me and by Me, and all your day shall be made a thing of beauty. Never shall you want, and never shall you lack, for I know not either state. When we function as ONE you cannot experience that which I do not know." -Eva Bell Werber. Quiet Talks the Master (Kindle Locations 475-483). Kindle Edition.

No matter how bare things may look right now, or how scorching hot it may be, the Fruit is promised, and you'll have plenty to share. Trust This. And smile.
“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream.

Drop the World
14 May 2022
00:06:17
As your God reception grows stronger, you drop the world. You drop all calls but the One. The true Calling. The one that God has on your life. The One that shall cause you to walk in His commandments, and do Go(o)d works, greater works than you can imagine. Be receptive, today. Be Love, today.
"This body was given to you so that you can discover your true nature, the origin of all, the one unborn Self. ...For this single purpose you have appeared into manifestation, to solve yourself by dissolving the you which is the non-self, and thereafter to effortlessly celebrate your discovery as Peace, Love, Light and Joy." -Mooji
"Always remember, nothing can touch you if you inwardly love God." -Yogananda
"What can you do about something that isn't there? All you can do is stop believing that it's there." -Bob Pilato
"The entire spiritual life is based on the rejection of appearances." -Joel Goldsmith
"We must experience the Christ as a permanent and continuous dispensation. We must live in the constant, conscious awareness of truth active within, maintaining always a receptive attitude... " -Joel Goldsmith, The Infinite Way (Prayer)
"Sit up tall and focus on what you can hear, and focus on the objects you can see by becoming aware of your present reality...Evoke the picture of a mountain in your mind. Look at its beauty, its peaks, valleys, and vegetation. It’s starting to rain, then raining harder. A torrent of water hits the mountain, but it remains undisturbed. Now bring your body into the image. Your head is the mountain’s peak, your shoulders and arms its sides, your torso the middle, and your legs the firm base. Even though the rain of your life circumstances is hitting you, you remain peaceful like the mountain that remains stable in any weather. The mountain is unaffected by passing clouds, so you are not affected by passing emotions and thoughts..." -Sacinananda Swami
"Though struck by torrents of water, the mountain does not shake but rather becomes beautiful, being washed of dirt. Similarly, a devotee, afflicted by the pains caused by his body, mind or other entities, is not disturbed because his mind is absorbed in the Supreme Lord." -Srila Thakura via The Mountain Meditation
"Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river." -Lao Tzu
SONG: "Higher Than the Mountains" (I reside) Slow down And give your mind a rest Calm down And do your best Become one in the eyes of love Seeking god above It's all inside, it's all inside
I'm higher than the mountains Higher than the mountains Ooh higher than the mountain Slow down, down low You make me high, oooo" - Sam Garrett
"There is no such thing as an enlightened person. The truth is identical for both of us. I haven’t achieved a better status than you. When you hear someone say that searching for enlightenment is like fish in the ocean struggling to find water, this is what they mean. One fish may know it and another may not, but they’re both swimming in an ocean of water and always were." -Jed McKenna

Either the Bliss Covers the World, or the World Covers the Bliss
11 May 2022
00:10:19
Though in my experience, Bliss appears as the world.
In today's episode, I share a synchronistic moment that happened over the weekend involving covid, my mantra (Hare Krishna, Hare Rama), and a majestic looking Egret. The photo evidence is up on my Patreon!
We also practice remembering Go(o)d memories with the sole/soul purpose of constantly feeling Go(o)d. THIS is why memory has been given to us.
"Peace rushes in the moment we remember it's not up to us to figure it all out." - @Proverbs31
"If you have never felt God's love inside you, ask Him to help you. Be quiet for a minute. It may be as gentle as a butterfly kiss. It may be as quiet as a ladybug. But as you listen, you will recognize His whisper deep inside you. You may feel peace. This is the beginning of enjoying God. He doesn't always speak in words. Sometimes He speaks in a picture, a feeling, or a song, But He always speaks with love."- Essene Virgin Mary
"The voice of the Lord is full of power; the voice of the Lord has a noble sound."- Psalm 29:4
I Love You Lord, Today.

Give a knowing smile to everything today, a 'hey' to everyone because you recognize your Friend there. Every pair of eyes are God's. Use yours to see past humanhood to the Christ.
Today's Quotes: "Dear you, You who always have so many things to do so many places to be your mind spinning like fan blades at high speed each moment always a blur because you’re never still. I know you’re tired. I also know it’s not your fault. The constant brain-buzz is like a swarm of bees threatening to sting if you close your eyes. You’ve forgotten something again. You need to prepare for that or else. You should have done that differently. What if you closed your eyes? Would the world fall apart without you? Or would your mind become the open sky flock of thoughts flying across the sunrise as you just watched and smiled." - by Kaveri Patel via Daily Meditation
"Life is found only in the present moment. I think we should have a holiday to celebrate this fact. We have holidays for so many important occasions - Christmas, New Year's, Mother's Day, Father’s Day, even Earth Day - why not celebrate a day when we can live happily in the present moment all day long? I would like to declare today ”Today’s Day”, a day dedicated to touching the Earth, touching the sky, touching the trees, and touching the Peace that is available in the present moment. - Thich Nhat Hanh, in ”Essential Writings”
"Behind the scenes, we see, the Great One, appearing as everyone!' -Joel Goldsmith
"I have been saying 'hey' lately too, to God. Formalities just weren't working." -Rumi
“I see the Lord in His universe, viewing a beautiful tree, my heart is moved and whispers: ‘He is there!’ I bow to adore Him. Doesn’t He permeate every atom of the earth? Could our planet exist at all except by the cohesive power of God? A true devotee, she sees Him in all persons, in all things; each rock becomes an altar.” -Yogananda

You Are Retiring From Your Past
09 May 2022
00:06:50
Make an effort to hear the Silence now, and later you'll enjoy a pension.* Later this Silence will just be (t)here without you having to work for It. This Love will just flow to you, to the new you, to the retired you.
The one that Love is retiring from that unhealthy job, from that toxic relationship, or from that version of you that didn't feel confident, that version of you that didn't feel Go(o)d. You're retiring form being that one, and you're stepping into this new life where all you know is God, and the things of God, and the people of God, and the service of God.
Your whole life is changing. Right now, as you read these words, relaxing your shoulders, feeling Go(o)d, you're changing your whole life.
Keep holding God with both hands today, and know God is holding you, too, retiring, returning you to Hisself.
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” –Socrates
"You must always fix the mind on the Lord. Initially, you have to make some effort. Later you enjoy a pension."* -Ramakrishna
"Do your work with one hand and hold onto God with the other. when you finish yor work, you will hold God with both hands."** -Ramakrishna
"It is normal to experience a silent pause, a limbo space, between the old you and who you are becoming. Some call this the void, It may feel a little empty, because you are shedding yet another layer of who you once were while finding your foot ing for what is next. It can be so subtle that you may not even notice it. Except for the feeling that something is off, something has changed. What used to resonate and excite you may feel a bit duller. But this is because your consciousness is expanding and you are being nudged-- there is more out there! So much more that will move your soul. Only you don't know where to look just yet. And that is okay. It is in the pause, where you are recalibrating. Coming back to your center. Quieting the noise... The truth of who you are is beyond any human concept beyond language. Beyond thought. And only you can feel It for yourself." - @asmi.path via Instagram
