Challenge yourself to listen

past the thoughts,

past the world,

to (t)His Love.

I listen past everything

until I can feel You. 

That's why I can say, 'I love you'. 

I know You. 

And it's lifting.

That weight (and that 'wait')--

it's lifted. 

(S)he took it from both of us, 

and made it Light. 

Smile like it.

Relax like it.

I love you 

I Am you

Today's Quotes:

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing." Isaiah 10:27

"If with deep faith, devotion and love you can exclaim: 'Mother, come to me, I cannot pass my days without you', rest assured, the Universal Mother will spread out Her arms and clasp you to Her heart. Don't look up to Her only as a mysterious refuge in your hour of distress. Keep in mind, She is always very, very near as the Force that guides your life. She Herself is the supreme refuge of every sentient being. With this conviction proceed. She will take the brunt of your burdens from your shoulders and make them light." -Sri Anandamayi Ma

"From the depths of slumber, As I ascend the spiral stairway of wakefulness, I will whisper:

God! God! God!

Thou art the food, and when I break my fast Of nightly separation from Thee, I will taste Thee, and mentally say:

God! God! God!

No matter where I go, the spotlight of my mind Will ever keep turning on Thee;

And in the battle din of activity, my silent war-cry will be:

God! God! God!

When boisterous storms of trials shriek, And when worries howl at me, I will drown their noises, loudly chanting:

God! God! God!

When my mind weaves dreams

With threads of memories,

Then on that magic cloth will I emboss:

God! God! God!

Every night, in time of deepest sleep, My peace dreams and calls, Joy! Joy! Joy!

And my joy comes singing evermore:

God! God! God!

In waking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping, Serving, meditating, chanting, divinely loving, My soul will constantly hum, unheard by any:

God! God! God!" -Paramhansa Yogananda

"The longer the tea bag sits in the cup, the stronger the tea. The longer you sit in God's word, the strong your Faith." - @Refreshedquotes 

"Sit by my side and stay silent. I will do the rest!" - Shirdi Sai Baba

Hold fast to Me,

and I'll carry you through.

Don't be distracted by the ups and downs--

just keep your eyes on Me--

the straight path.

The direct path (the pathless-path). 

The one I've traveled.

I've cleared the brush.

I've kicked away the rocks.

So you don't have to struggle, 

so you don't have to look down, 

you can keep your head up, 

you can enjoy the view.

You can look out and see the others,

and help them and tell them,

'the way is clear for us'.

Comfort them as I Am comforting you.

I Love You 

I Am you

"When you feel the beauty inside, your youthfulness and success stay with you forever." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar 

"The yogi should listen with collected mind to the Nada heard inside the right ear. Closing the ears, eyes, nose and mouth, a clear, distinct sound will be heard in the purified sushumna (central current of life energy) .

A feeling of bliss will be experienced in the void of the heart, and the unstruck Sound (Anahata), like the sound of tinkling ornaments, will be heard within the body." -Hatha Yoga Pradipika 4:66-67, 69; Hatha Yoga Pradiptika, by Pancham Singh, pp.56-57

"The invisible and supra-sensory name of God (the Divine Sound) is extremely sweet and lovely." -Guru Nanak Sahab 

"The love we should have is the love which looks at everything through Him.

We must discover that love inside each and everything we see.

If we can find this and make it our own, then everyone will be a brother or sister born with us.

This is the only kind of love in which God is present, the only love which is lasting.

This is grace, this is wisdom and light.

This love is the shining beauty of our face, the beauty of our heart, our wealth, our life.

This is what makes our soul beautiful.

This is what makes the house of our life beautiful."- Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

"Words are only use for knowledge, and you are beyond knowledge. Peace cannot be achieved until internal and external communication is stopped. You know everything. they are only words. The self cannot be known through words. Once you are enlightened, Go within yourself and experience the light you see there, which is you." - Nisargadatta Maharaj

Thoughts...

but I focus on the Love. 

I'm focused on you right now,

 on what's bothering you.

Can you allow that feeling you don't want to be there,

 to be there without giving it a name,

without giving it a story,

a narrative of why it's there?

Can you for just this moment, not need it to go to prove to yourself that you're advancing in your spirituality, in your life?

Can you just let it be there?

Can you recognize that everything is perfect,

that God placed it there,

this feeling isn't bad,

yes, it's intense. 

Feel it with no buffer, 

with no filter. 

Nothing can wash this Love away.

Nothing can drown what You are. 

Which is beyond that body.

Beyond its needs.

Every time you think you're in a situation that seems impossible, 

that seems like it will never change,

like it will never.

Look again.

And when you look,

look with Love,

look Lovingly,

and know it has, 

and it will. 

I Love You

I Am You

I look outside the window of my life & finally, I'm starting to believe - God is on the move, even when I think I'm seeing the same old view." - Praying Outside, @wildflowerpages via IG

It's Here,

even in the trembling,

in the crying,

in the storm,

like a little pinpoint of light that catches your eye,

that catches your attention long enough

for you to catch your breath.

You become conscious of your breath again.

You're able to relax your shoulders down and back again.

You may not be smiling, but your Soul is.

God Is.

You're Hearing... that tone, that Key.

Remembering that Presence IS your prayer.

Silence is your prayer.

Love is my prayer,

and Love takes care of Love.

I Love you,

Nik

"No prayer is complete without Presence "

-Rumi

"The basic condition for us to be able to hear the call of beauty and respond to it is silence."

-Thich Nhat Hahn

"It is in the dark that God is passing by. The bridge and our lives shake not because God has abandoned, but the exact opposite: God is passing by. God is in the tremors. Dark is the holiest ground, the glory passing by. In the blackest, God is closest, at work, forging His perfect and right will. Though it is black and we can't see and our world seems to be free-falling and we feel utterly alone, Christ is most present to us..."

-Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are

"The wise one does not try to control life and is not controlled by life.

His heart is full and serene knowing that life takes care of life."

-Mooji

"Saints are the sinners who kept going."

-Robert Louis Stevenson

"Happiness does not enter making noise

it is there everyday amid the little joys.

-look closely"

-@cayswords_ I via IG

"Whatever happens in your life, no matter how troubling things might seem, do not enter the neighborhood of despair. Even when all doors remain closed, God will open up a new path only for you. Be thankful! It is easy to be thankful when all is well. A Sufi is thankful not only for what he has been given but also for all that he has been denied."

-Shams Tabrizi

"I've watched you. I've watched everything you have been through

I've watched you fall 

i've watched you get hurt

I've watched you fight and get back up

I've watched you learn

I've watched you grow

I also watched how hard you've been working

To become the best version of yourself

i've seen your heart today and it's beautiful

it's pure 

and it's ready to be loved the same way that I love you

get ready because it's coming next week, everything you've been praying for."

'All you need is Love',

and you have that, now.

You are Love, now,

beyond the form,

and the formless,

aware of both,

causing both, appearances.

Walking like both

a king,

and a servant.

Let us run.

Let us love.

Let us pray.

Come, this is the Way.

I Love You, (I = Love = You ... the redundancy of It all!)

"I have held many things in my hands, and I have last them all;

but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still passess." -Martin Luther

"The first step in yoga is to let go, because it is the desires in the mind which restricts you.

You should have this feeling, I will get what I need.

Once this feeling is there,

then where is the need to want something?

So just let go and relax!"

-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

"Whatever happens, hold on to His feet

without loosening the grip even slightly."

- Rupert Spira

"Nothing is ever really happening...

the motion, the change, the seeming movement, the time, the space... nothing is actually happening, we must sit still with this in the silence, until the truth of it starts to reveal itself. We must do this, if it takes a day, or a month of days, we must do this... we have to be willing to be uncompromising, because there's no need to be half in and half out... even if we could be."

-Octavia Williams

"This appearance I see is not happening."

-Herb Fitch  

"I never make predictions. 

I don't speak to you of worldly things.

I only serve Love and Silence.

And the more of Me you receive,

the more of Me you see."- God

************************

There's no safety anywhere else but where you are,

how you're being right now,

Who you're being right now.

That's your insurance,

your assurance that more is here,

but you have to Love more. 

Love everything,

and see everyone as your child today. 

Silently say, 'I love you' to everyone who crosses your path.

Bless them with Love,

light their candle. 

And don't forget (Y)ours is lit.

Don't forget that flame above your head.

Feel It burning with Joy,

with Power, 

It's blinding at first, 

but you're beginning to See. 

I Love you

I Am you

Nothing is in the way,

every obstacle has been removed.

Your path is clear.

And the Guidance?

You're hearing It now...

Hold that body like it's royalty,

sit and stand like you're balancing a crown.

Greet everyone like you are the Source of Joy,

like you are the Cup of Love.

You give like you'll never run out,

because you won't,

you can't,

because you know the Source behind the source.

You're being the Source beyond,

of the Right Hand. 

And like Him, 

you have overcome the world, 

of thought, 

of desire,

of fear. 

Love is the Father's House,

and you are Home. 

In today's episode, I share about a recent 'repeat' or echo moment that I managed to see through real-time (managed to unsee time and everything seemingly in it), and my recent visit to Meher Baba's cave on Mount Subasio in Assisi, Italy.

"It is your restlessness that causes chaos." - Nisargadatta Maharaj 

"To whom you pray 

"To whom you pray is not important. Whereas religion puts words to the prayer and adds symbols and rituals to it, the prayer itself transcends them. It happens in the subtle level of feelings and the feelings transcend words and religion. The act of praying itself has the power to bring transformation." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar 

"If your attention is on all the time without any kind of judgments- simply attention, not thought, just attention - you will naturally become intuitive."- Sadhguru 

"So is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11

Nothing is as it seems. 

Don't be fooled by what appears to be your life right now. 

Keep standing as My Word. 

There's nothing else you can do.

Nothing to speed It up.

Or slow It down.

It Is.

It's done

You're done,

and yet you are working, 

and so Am I.

TRUST. 

I Am your place of safety. 

Affirm: I Am Safe. 

Feel.

Safe.
