That Joy you're feeling again makes the impossible possible.

That dream,

that vision,

that flashes sometimes,

that feels very much out of reach right now,

is right in front of you.

But you still see it as that familiar space,

or as those familiar faces.

Keep smiling at the familiar,

look lovingly at the familiar.

That's how it changes.

I Love you

"The roar of joy that set the worlds in motion is reverberating in your body and the space betweem all bodies. Beloved, listen." - The Radiance Sutras

"You must learn to proceed without certainty." - IG @Interconnctd

"Elaborate rituals and garish images

May be useful in meditation when your mind is whirling with thoughts

Of sex, money, and power, wandering like an elephant

in heat.

Go ahead and use these tools, yet know, Beating drums and blaring trumpets

Cannot summon the One who is already present.

I am not a collection of incantations

Known only to experts.

I am not a ladder to be climbed.

A sequence for piercing energy centers in your body. lam not to be found at the end of a long road.

I am right here.

Sacred texts sing of my reality, But I cannot be found in them, For I am the one listening.

I am always closer than breath.

Heat and fire are not two separate things.

These are just verbal distinctions.

The Goddess and the One who holds Her

Are one and the same.

We are inseparable.

The way to me is through Her." - The Radiance Sutras

Let this moment hold you like it once held me.

This isn’t old, it’s eternal.

What's the sound of one hand clapping?

That's the sound of success.

If you want more of it,

you have to hear more of This.

You have to hear the Silence beyond the world clapping,

beyond the desire you hold of hearing the world clapping for you.

You have to hear God clapping.

He already is.

He's always been clapping.

You keep bowing.

"Don't sing the sadness anymore." - Rumi

"The Divine Mother revealed to me in the Käli temple that it was She who had become everything. 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. Light, sound, motion, all movement." - Hafiz

"Don't sing the sadness anymore. 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. That is right beneath your own foot."

Slow down.

Bow down.

I Love You

I Am You

Today's Quotes:

*Lao Tzu

"The deeper meaning of "name" is a reference to Cosmic Vibration (the Word, Aum, Amen. 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

"Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are." - Jesus (John 17:11)

If you're ready for your next level,

your new chapter,

you have to take God's Name and start, now.

You have to take your prayer beads,

and know that one end is in your hand,

and the other is in God's,

and start now.

Love, now,

on every bead.

You don't even need a mantra that is verbal,

that is language,

just that touch,

Just (t)His sound,

Her sweetness.

I Love You

I Am You

Today's Quotes:

"While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled. 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

Let this moment hold you like it once held me.

This isn’t old, it’s eternal.

God has sent (t)His Love

for us to follow

out of the illusion.

So don't let anything distract you from this Love.

Not yourself,

not your thoughts,

or anyone else.

Nothing is worth it.

Nothing, this No Thing, this Silence is worth it.

It's worth your attention.

It made you worthy.

It made you Holy.

It has given you a Purpose.

And right now It looks like whatever you are called to do 'today'.

The pressure is not on you,

the Presence is on you.*

Affirm: The Presence is on me, in me, for me.

And then just do it. Don't think about it. Just do it. Just watch It accomplish everything.

I Love you,

Today's Quotes:

"Pressure on you, Presence on me."

-Gabriel Lopez @gods.best.friend

"I have been asked many times, "How do you stop thinking?" And I have found one way. The minute I can look at any person or condition and know that it is neither good nor evil, my thought stops, and my mind becomes quiet. That is the end of it because then there are no thoughts left for me to think about it: I do not think good of it and I do not think evil of it. All I know is that it is, and then I am back at the center of my being where all power is."

-Joel S Goldsmith

"Unless you give up the idea that the world is real, then your mind will always be after it."

-Sri Ramana Maharshi

"The kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth but people don't see it."

-The Gospel of Thomas

“It seemed as if Maharaj-ji was about to answer, but instead his eyes closed and he sat there completely still, completely silent. It felt like he'd totally disappeared. In all the time I'd been with him, I'd only seen him sitting motionless like this a couple of times before. It was extraordinarily powerful, as if the whole universe had become silent. Then a tear came down his cheek. We were in awe. After a couple of minutes, his eyes half opened and, with great emotion, he quietly said, 'He lost himself in love, that's how he meditated. He was one with all beings. He loved everyone, even the people who crucified him. He never died. He is the atman [soul]. He lives in the hearts of all. He lost himself in love."

-Krishna Das

"God is in me, God is with me. God is for me."

-@Sardinebread

You stopped running.

I see you.

The world is swirling around you,

but you're still,

you're silent,

you're calm,

you're Home,

we're being Heaven on earth right now.

And our work is to continue to be that Heaven,

to continue to be (t)His Light,

His Face.

I see You everywhere.

And I love You.

And I bless You.

And I Am blessed by You.

"There is something here that is somehow a part of your calling, your mission in life. It's glorifying God in your unique way.
