And He walks with me,  and He talks with me,  And He tells me I am His own. And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known." -Yogananda "If you have ever been distant from God, but somehow found yourself praying again, praising again, thinking about him again, it's because god was working behind the scenes to bring you back to Him. He isn't letting you go." -@RefreshedQuotes via IG "Just as thoughts about your home crowd into your mind as you draw nearer to your dwelling place, so also the closer you get to God, the greater grows the joy derived from the ever increasing variety of experiences of the Divine." - Sri Anandamayi Ma "It is high time that we realized that it is pointless to praise the light and preach it if nobody can see it. It is much more needful to preach the art of seeing." -Carl Jung "Maybe if we chased God as hard as we chase people, God would give us people we don't have to chase. Seek first the Kingdom of God and all else will be added!" -@RefreshedQuotes via IG

It shall burn out all dross of the mortal mind, smallness of nature, meanness of spirit, vindictiveness, jealousy. It shall burn out all carelessness of your habits, in the outer realms of your being. My Law and My Order can then function perfectly in your life. Then and then only will you be a worthy vessel for the inflow of My Spirit. Then and then only can My Spirit flow through you to other of My children. Likewise shall all disease be burned from the physical body, that nothing shall interfere with My Plan for your life. As the sigh of your spirit disturbs the flame and makes the candle drip, so the faintest wavering of your feet from the path of attainment causes a less steady burning of My Flame in your heart, and My Work goes on in imperfection. Oh, My Beloved, how necessary that you live with the eye single, to the high purpose of your calling. But you have many helpers. No soul who enters the path is left to walk alone. So go on, day by day, with the light and assurance of My Love in your face. Mighty Ones whom you see not, are by your side. And the forces of darkness shall touch you not." -Eva Bell Werber, ‘Quiet Talks the Master’ "Dear God, help me to not lose sight of your presence when things are going well."-Unknown Support the show

Grace is another name for what we are. Grace is indefinable, the ever-perfect, timeless. It is that in which the apparent timeful plays as names and forms in their brief dance as life. We are the experience and simultaneously the witness of this experience. Grace is that which calls you  away from the chaos, away from the noise of the world. Grace is the same as peace, but there is no peacekeeper nor anyone being silent. Grace is the breath of the Self." -Mooji "Your future will be nothing like your past. You won't have to do as much talking; your energy will speak for you. You won't have to do as much of the hard labor; your energy will work for you. You won't have to do as much convincing because you'll realize that the authentic truth as you know it always reveals itself. You're getting more comfortable in your skin and soul, and that growth will manifest on a number of levels. Life is getting easier. Life is getting lighter. When you envision your future, leave the difficult version in your past." - @Sourcemessages via IG "When you feel power within yourself, when new light dawns on you from within, the more you can keep it concealed in utter calm and stillness, the more will it grow in intensity. If it gets the slightest opening, there is always the fear of its escaping. Be vigilant. He Himself will provide everything that is necessary - initiation, instruction - whatever it may be." -Anandamayi Ma "You will flower again, dear soul. Have hope. Springtime is always growing in you." -Jaiya John, All These Rivers and You Chose Love "Remember that, dear one. Love has no opposite. Love just is. It is the answer to everything. Everything." -Dolores Cannon "There is nothing between the heart and the eyes, only a clear open pathway to peace and love." -Ruth Davis "Remember a year ago, when you didn't know how you would make it here? By grace, you made it here and by grace, you will make it through next year." -@Mrs.Pammy via IG

You never know how and when you will be filled with abundance and you will start raining quenching the thirst of many. You never know how and when you will be full of fruits and shade and travelers will take shelter and food from you, You never know how and when you will be full with Love and Light and you will start spreading the fragrance of beauty to everyone. You never know how and when the death will come and make you deathless and life will start flowing out of you you never know how & when...really." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Keep going. You never know what's right around the corner." -@SisterCody via IG "I want to speak to the hidden people for a moment...I don't find it coincidental that many of God's servants were found in the most unconventional & ambiguous places. They weren't found in Synagogues, or popular gather places but fields, deserts, at home, mangers, or at work. The settings we find them I'm sure are strategic in that they develop certain skills, and traits that would translate to their callings but also I can't help but think because it was one of the last places men would look for where a move of God would come from next. He often tucked them away, but in plain sight but hidden. Where everyone could see, but could not yet SEE. What a mystery of the Gospel. If you feel hidden, do not despise your present status. If you are busy wondering when God is going to do the things you've heard & envisioned -be patient. The time is coming sooner than you thought. And you'll look back at this 'hidden' time of consecration & private development with longing. When God 'reveals' you, He wants to make sure you have the capacity in character, to remain where He calls. It's not your gifts that will sustain you, but your character. That's what's being carefully curated, carefully molded, privately developed, and carefully grown. Do not despise this time. The hidden time is protection. This time + the lessons are invaluable, and it will be the key to being able to remain & go higher. "For nothing is hidden except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret except to come to light." - Mark 4:22 - @prophetess.maggie via IG "Waiting is just a gift of time in disguise - a time to pray wrapped up in a ribbon of patience - because is the Lord ever late? -Ann Voskamp via IG @worshipblog "Don't try to stop thinking, let it happen. Just recognize that which is not thinking." -Adyashanti

Like those burglar alarms that make no noise, that aren't audible to the trespasser, but sound somewhere else... when I feel invaded by thought, I close my eyes and I Hear. I hear this Silence sounding, and in that Emptiness, in that Quiet Space, help gets deployed, problems get solved, the right people show up. This Silence is the helper. It is the Comforter. It is Love. If you could just stop leaving this Love, if you could just stop forgetting to hear this Love, you'd start seeing changes. You'd start seeing yourself as Love, knowing only Love Is here, only this Weight, that has no form, that has no shape, that has no 'weight', is here. But here where you are, It's experienced as a Joyful Gravity, pulling what's for you, Destiny, into Your orbit.

Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!” -2 Corinthians 4:17 NLT "Your struggles are not because you didn't pray the right way or because you didn't pray enough, or because you have weak faith or insufficient intercessors. It is because God is using you in ways that you may not understand now, but one day you will. One day you will see how God used your affliction to prepare you for an incomparable weight of glory." -@Therealsweetspot Derrika Danielle "A million speak of love, yet how few know, True love is not to lose remembrance even for an instant." -Kabir "I used to think that in order to abide in Christ, I had to read my bible every day, pray everyday, and share my faith every single day. My abiding was depending on me doing something, but this is just wrong. Abiding in Christ is not another work that needs to be performed, but it's a reality to live in. In the same way that one lives in a house, and only need not leave in order to remain in the house, you are in Christ.  And abiding in Hm is simply the decision to not walk away." -@Jkjoe via IG

You can call off the search. (T)here is no other Voice but this One. There is no other Silence. There is no other God. There is no other awakening experience. When your mind is telling you that you're not 'there' yet, you're hearing it from 'there'. This is It. You're hearing THE Voice. You are the Voice. This Silence is what you are. This silence is what I Am (is). Affirm that, 'This Silence is what I Am." The first few times with words, and then drop the words.

You’re feeling absolutely fantastic this morning! But not for the reason you think. You don’t feel good because it’s Christmas Eve. You don’t feel good because you know what’s under the tree, or even because you’re off work or have no professional Zoom meetings tomorrow (likely for a whole week!), or that your favorite food is being prepared, or that your playlist is FIRE and the Temptations are going in on ‘Silent Night’. All of these things may very well seem to be happening, but they’re not causing that quiet-Joy you’re aware of. You’re just presently in alignment... allowing yourself to feel good, to experience God. You’re currently BEing your true Self! This is your natural state— one of uncaused joy, ease, love, relaxation and peace. What people call ‘The Christmas Spirit’ is your original nature, and you can feel this way even on your first day back to work, if you give yourself permission. God didn’t come closer this morning, and It won’t get further away next week. We just changed the way we are living in this moment. And now we must keep living this way... remembering to recognize that the Light is ALWAYS on inside. That we are this Light. If you can stop waiting for special occasions to remember this background Joy, to feel Go(o)d, to be yourSelf, your life will change drastically from the inside out and very rapidly.

Thus does one attain liberation.”  - The Yoga Vasistha

Lovingly affirm: "I am immersed in the flame- The flame of time, The flame of love, The flame of life. The universal fire flows through me."* The Living God is appearing as you and every seeming thing.  I feel Light(er) when you get this.  And you're getting this.  I Love you,  nik "Everything exposed to the light itself becomes light" (Ephesians 5:13). In prayer, we merely keep returning the divine gaze and we become its reflection, almost in spite of ourselves (2 Corinthians 3:18). The word prayer has often been trivialized by making it into a way of getting what we want. But I use prayer as the umbrella word for any interior journeys or practices that allow us to experience faith, hope, and love within ourselves. It is not a technique for getting things, a pious exercise that somehow makes God happy, or a requirement for entry into heaven. It is much more like practicing heaven now. +Adapted from The Naked Now: Learning to See as the Mystics See, pp. 22-23. "Live for a few days in the meditation, "I am immersed in the flame-The flame of time, The flame of love, The flame of life. The universal fire flows through me." Step into that fire. wholeheartedly, Starting with the big toe, Then, surrendering everywhere. Only the not-self, Which doesn't exist anyway, Burns away. Attend to this continually And awaken into tranquility. Your essence is renewed in the flame, For it is flame and knows itself as flame Since the first heartbeat of creation. Imagine the entire world consumed by flame. Stay steady, do not waver, As fire transmutes form into light. The soul reveals itself." To itself as Radiance.- the Radiance Sutras 

A meditation to help you IMMEDIATELY surrender negative thoughts. It's useful not just during 'formal' meditation, but in every moment you find yourself fearful or worried. You shift from being aware of being 'you', to being aware AS the Christ Light that you truly are. You shift out of your mind, and into the mind that was in Christ. Into the no-mind of the Buddha. How does that mind sound? Is it thinking about your troubles, your past, your future?

What do you hear when thinking stops? When wanting stops?  Ask yourself that question and linger in the silence behind the question.  Who am I when I want nothing?  ... Before I went to India, I was told in a very Divine way by someone sent to me, to come there with an empty heart, and an empty mind, not wanting anything, not desiring anything, not craving anything, not seeking solutions or answers, not seeking anything, not expecting anything at all. And I felt it. I heard that message so clearly. And of course, the mind came up and I said, "Well, how do I do that? How do I go about doing that?" And he said, "just Love God." The Loving replaces the wanting. It eclipses it. You just keep quiet. You go where there are not words,  and you find the Love (t)here,  and you place your attention (t)here. The wanting may still be (t)here, but your attention is on the Loving, it's on the having.  He said, "You come like that, you come empty and open,  and you'll get everything you want. Everything you wanted.  That's the secret.

She showed me that everything was full of Consciousness. The Image was Consciousness, the altar was Consciousness, the water-vessels were Consciousness, the door-sill was Consciousness, the marble floor was Consciousness -all was Consciousness. "found everything inside the room soaked, as it were, in Bliss-the Bliss of Satchidananda. I saw a wicked man in front of the Kāli temple; but in him also I saw the Power of the Divine Mother vibrating. "That was why I fed a cat with the food that was to be offered to the Divine Mother. I clearly perceived that the Divine Mother Herself had become everything-even the cat. The manager of the temple garden wrote to Mathur Babu saying that I was feeding the cat with the offering intended for the Divine Mother. But Mathur Babu had insight into the state of my mind. He wrote back to the manager: 'Let him do whatever he likes. You must not say anything to him." - Sri Ramakrishna  "Everything is clapping today.

Call out that you have been given both the answer and an understanding of the question." - Hafiz  "If I meet a wolf, he turns into a kind friend. If I am lowered into a well, it becomes a garden. A stony miser comes to me and starts giving his wealth away. Don't offer me money. I have a teacher whose fragrance brings statues to life." -Hafiz "Jesus promised to send to his disciples the Comforter, the Holy Ghost, to speed them on their way to Self-realization. An advanced devotee can hear the sound of Aum in his body and can see its light in his spiritual eye. After he has become acquainted with these two limited manifestations, in the bodily sound and in his spiritual eye, then, by further spreading of his consciousness in Omnipresence, he sees his small spherical eye of light expand into a cosmic sphere whose luminosity conflagrates the whole universe. Similarly, as the devotee listens to Pranava, the holy sound of Aum, he forgets the restrictions of the human body and of space and can feel the Aum of his body vibrating into a perception of his cosmic body. He feels his consciousness vibrating everywhere with the ever expanding Aum sound. In ecstasy he suddenly sees his body as an atom or cell in the cosmic body.All aspiring yogis who would be performers of the inner holy rites of consuming restlessness and delusion in the fire of ecstasy, givers of unconditional devotion to God, and cultivators of true perception through Self-mastery, must begin their progress on the spiritual path by first chanting Aum, and then communing with Aum by hearing this sacred Word-symbol of God present right within the body-temple." - Yogananda 

What stage are you in right now?  What stage is this in the story of you, in the story of your unfoldment? Can you kiss it,  the way God is kissing you? Can you look at it,  the way God sees it?  You have to keep discriminating between the real and the unreal. This, that you find yourself in was not sent to hurt you. It was sent to heal you. It was sent to help 'you' find 'You'. Relax more.  Soften, even more. That's how you kiss the stage. That's how you allow the stage to make room for the next. In this relaxation, in this step back,  this step away from the one you thought you were, "right action arises by itself."* Miracles, find you.  Hafiz says, "I don't want to step so quickly over this sacred place on God's body.

God as Spirit has no circumscribing name. Whether one refers to the Absolute as God or Iehovah or Brahman or Allah, that does not express Him. God the Creator and Father of all vibrates through nature as the eternal life, and that life has the sound of the great Amen or Aum. That name most accurately defines God. "Those who believe on his name" means those who commune with that Aum sound, the voice of God in the Holy Ghost vibration. When one hears that name of God, that Cosmic Vibration, he is on his way to becoming a son of God, for in that sound his consciousness touches the immanent Christ Consciousness, which will introduce him to God, Cosmic Consciousness." - Yogananda, The Yoga of Jesus "A man sees a thing in one way through reasoning and in an altogether different way when God Himself shows it to him."-Bhagawan Sri Ramakrishna "Discouragement is not from God." - St. Ignatius of Loyola "You don't criticize the moon for not shining the same each night you don't look up at it and say you're not trying hard enough because the moon doesn't have to be full and bright every night to be loved and neither do you." -Ida Banks "Let the mess inside your head settle. breathe. it's going to be okay." -Shweta "A mind that is fast is sick. A mind that is slow is sound. A mind that is still is Divine." -Sri Meher Baba "I do not Want to step so quickly Over this sacred place on God's body That is right beneath your Own foot As I Dance with Precious life Today." - Hafiz (translated by Ladinski) "READ THE GOSPEL ATTENTIVELY AND YOU WILL SEE THAT JESUS SACRIFICED EVEN CHARITY FOR PRAYER. AND DO YOU KNOW WHY? TO TEACH US THAT, WITHOUT GOD, WE ARE TOO POOR TO HELP THE POOR. ST. TERESA OF CALCUTTA "There really was such a thing as sickness, then there would have to be a lot of fighting to become healed. But since sickness doesn't really exist, by giving this up, by surrendering this feeling, this thought that there is sickness or lack or limitation or anything else, the One Power, the One Perfection, the One God, the One Reality, the One Pure Awareness shines through, and takes over, and you are made Whole." - Robert Adams

But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth." - John 17:11-19 "The best sign of you progressing in your meditation is something which is very self-evident. First is the experience of great bliss; and the second is the actual experience of your being, not just a little thing but a throughout expansion of your being in all ways and in all forms. When we have a real experience of the conscious self, it needs no external evidence because it's a total certainty; it's as certain as you are sitting here now!" - @srim_official "Even if all the doors are closed... A secret path will be there for you that no one knows. You can't see it yet... But so many paradises are at the end of this path. -Shams Tabrizi
