Every time I remember that God is with me,
I know the world is for me,
from Me.

“To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.”
- Lao Tzu

Affirm: 'God goes with me wherever I go", and feel into this meditation from 'A Course in Miracles':

"Today’s idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and abandonment all the separated ones experience. Depression is an inevitable consequence of separation. ³So are anxiety, worry, a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering and intense fear of loss.

The separated ones have invented many “cures” for what they believe to be “the ills of the world.” But the one thing they do not do is to question the reality of the problem. Yet its effects cannot be cured because the problem is not real. The idea for today has the power to end all this foolishness forever. And foolishness it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may take.

Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to them.

You can never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. You can never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. You can never be alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever you go. Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with you wherever you go.

We understand that you do not believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden deep within, under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we will make our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud, and to go through it to the light beyond.

There will be only one long practice period today. In the morning, as soon as you get up if possible, sit quietly for some three to five minutes, with your eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat today’s idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. Try, instead, to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear of any thoughts that might divert your attention.

From time to time, you may repeat the idea if you find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these things. You are trying to leave appearances and approach reality.

It is quite possible to reach God. In fact it is very easy, because it is the most natural thing in the world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open, if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring very startling results even the first time it is attempted, and sooner or later it is always successful. But it will never fail completely, and instant success is possible.

Throughout the day use today’s idea often, repeating it very slowly, preferably with eyes closed. Think of what you are saying; what the words mean. Concentrate on the holiness that they imply about you; on the unfailing companionship that is yours; on the complete protection that surrounds you.

You can indeed afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go."
-ACIM, Lesson 41

Today's Quotes:

"...and the greatest gift God can give is His own experience.
Every object, every creature, every man, woman and child,
has a soul and it is the destiny of all,
to see as God sees, to know as God knows,
to feel as God feels, to Be as God is."
-Meister Eckhart

"The Life Force that perpetuates your heartbeat and maintains and sustains all the other organs and functions of your body is not physical, but it is spiritual... is not temporal, but is eternal. And once that basic truth has been established in your consciousness, you will experience the dissolution of all fear, the healing of all diseases, and the resolution of all conflicts. This is the supernal activity of the Word being made flesh... this is the sacred process of Divine Grace being established on earth as it is in Heaven."
-Don Mardak

"The highest meditation is to think of nothing. If you can remain without thought, great power will come."
-Swami Vivekananda

If you're not living Love,

which is the only commandment Jesus left us with,

if you're not living it,

you're not living.

You're dead.

This Love is life,

eternal.

This Love is food,

It's water.

It's your wealth.

It's the substance and tone,

the Vibration of your future.

That's why we don't have to pray with words.

We pray with (t)His Vibration.

We communicate like this...

You can't see me,

but you can feel me.

I'm communicating with you between the words.

My love is touching you,

through these words.

His love is touching you,

He doesn't need words.

God doesn't need your instruction,

your consultation,

your approval.

He doesn't need anything.

But you are to give Him your will.

And notice the resistance that comes up.

Give Him everything,

until you have nothing left.

And then you are given everything.

I Love you,

nik

You have to find Peace now,

not later.

You have to find it right now in the middle of everything that you're going through.

And one way is to initiate a constant conversation with God,

to pray ceaselessly--

"Only Your Love is here."

As if you're saying it to God--

"Only Your Love is Here, Jesus" (or the Name that stirs you),

and it's like you're on His lap,

or at His feet,

and you can feel Him saying to you,

"Only Your Love is here."

Filling you.

Healing you.

Convincing you.

Replacing you.

We are One.

I love you,

What have you been believing in?

I'm guilty of believing in superfoods.

I'm always googling,

like if I'm eating something particularly healthy,

I like to Google and read about studies that have been done on what it can prevent or what it can strengthen.

And I catch myself in the midst of that old pattern of behavior and laugh at myself,

but I still find myself doing it as if it's the carrots,

or the celery,

or the seeded grapes...

It's God,

appearing as those things.

And you still eat those things.

You still eat good,

you still eat God--

that's Communion.

You're aware that the substance of those grapes is him.

Is IT.

Is the I am that You are,

nourishing yourself with your Self.

Right now You're writing to yourself.

I Love you,

nik

You feel like you're in a prison of your own making.

And you've done everything in your will,

in your power to get out.

You've tried new diets,

new supplements,

new people,

new prayers,

old prayers,

but have you tried Love?

You've tried everything but Love.

Love dissolves the bars.

Being what you are right now...

there are no bars.

They're gone.

You're free.

Love will be in the forefront today.

The world is in the background.

You're no longer running after things,

they're coming to you,

they're happening for you,

because you're content.

Because you're Love,

only Love is happening.

This is what you hadn't tried.

I Love you,

nik

"Once when I was meditating I heard His voice, whispering: "Thou dost say I am away, but thou didst not come in. That is why thou dost say I am away. I am always in.

When you feel Joy,

you're back at the beginning.

You're Here,

at the beginning.

And now you know all you have to do is keep feeling Joy,

in every step,

in every breath,

and in (and AS) every seeming moment,

keeping your eyes on this Gift that He gave to you,

that He's constantly giving to you.

'Here'... is just another name for Joy.

Joy is another way to say, 'Here'.

Joy is how 'Here' feels.

Bow to It.

Give your life to It,

the one you lived up until this point.

And watch what It gives you back.

I Love you,

nik

God is circling around you,

that temple,

that tower.

He's aware of your situation,

of every thought, every fear.

You had gone astray,

lost in what you're not,

and who you're not,

but you're back.

How does it feel to know who you are?

To know whose you are?

Shift into this felt-Knowing, this Silence.

Stop leaving, and expect miracles.

I Love you,

"Hidden power"
- Baba Ram Singh ji

"A hand unseen is behind this creation, and every pair of eyes is looking towards that hand which is not seen. Wherever one looks, one is looking for that hand which is behind and unseen. You look at a flower and appreciate the flower and behind the flower, there's that beauty, that truth which could bring this beauty. If this flower does not remind you of the eternal beauty, of the eternal truth, then it has not fulfilled its purpose. So behind every activity, pleasant, unpleasant, chaotic, harmonious, is one Divinity."
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
