You are hidden, not forgotten.

Stay in touch with this Love,

and you'll see that God can see you,

and that's all that matters.

Because God is all...

When you make it to that stage,

there's an audience of One ,

appearing as many,

but you have one Listener,

one Reader

one Client

one Customer

one Contract

one Covenant

and giving Him your attention,

the whole world smiles.

*singing in Lauryn Hill* it could all be so simple :)

I Love you,

Title quote- @prophetess.maggie via IG

"You never know how and when

the Existence will start using you for Its purpose.

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.

I Love you,

Nik

Today's Quotes:

“For our present troubles are small and won't last very long. 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 are Chosen

Affirm: I Am chosen.

My past couldn't have been any other way.

My future will be what I choose today,

and today, I choose Him.

I chose this Love.

I choose this Peace

I choose this Sound--

to let It inform my thoughts,

to let It inform my actions,

to let It inform me that It is more real than the world.

Where you're sitting or standing,

where you're breathing,

is Holy Ground.

Drop your head down to your heart

and Hear.

(and watch The Chosen on Amazon Prime!!!)

I Love you,

Nik

"Your life is perfect..

It is a perfect plan and it is

a spontaneous miracle every moment."

-SriSri Ravi Shankar via IG @sarikajgd

"The greatest miracle that God can do today is to take an unholy man out of an unholy world, and make that man holy and put him back into that unholy world and keep him holy in it."

-Leonard Ravenhill via IG @WorshipBlog

"Jesus was not sent here to teach the people to build magnificent churches and temples amidst the cold wretched huts and dismal hovels. He came to make the human heart a temple, and the soul an altar, and the mind a priest!"

-Kahlil Gibran

"God's answer is some form of peace. All pain Is healed; all misery replaced with joy. All prison doors are opened. And all sin is understood as merely a mistake."

-A Course in Miracles LESSON 359

"Live in such a way that you're constantly free from the past and unbothered by the future. Observe the voices in your head, but don't join the conversation. Be the silent detached awareness, and your mind will slowly quiet down."

-Via IG @LessonToSelf

"In the end it's all very simple. Either we give ourselves to Silence or we don't."

-Adyashanti

"I was afraid of being rejected

Until I learned to never reject myself

I was afraid of being abandoned

Until I learned to never abandon myself

...

I was afraid of the darkness

Until I remembered that I was the Light

And I was afraid of life

Until I remembered who I was."

-Excerpt from Tahlia Hunter

"We carry inside us the wonders we seek outside us."

-Rumi

"He's not an "I told you so" kind of God

He's a

'Come here

Welcome home

I'll keep you safe

I'll keep you warm

Let me hold you

Let me heal you

I love you

I have so much for you I am not mad at you

Trust me

I will never leave you

My grace will never run out

Stay with me'

Kind of God.

At this very moment, go to Him in your heart and He will meet you there with His Peace."

-@HerTrueWorth

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.

Your whole being is singing, SHREEMing, 'I Am' without words...

being the silence I Am,

being the Love I Am,

being That, I Am. (Exodus 3:14)

I Love you,

nik

Meditation excerpt from the 'Little Book of Life and Death' by Douglas Harding

"There is no instrument other than deep meditation that can detect the presence of that almighty Grace within. Still the body, withdraw the energy from the senses into the brain, calm the heart: Christ will be there; you will feel the divine joy of the Infinite Christ."

-Yogananda

Reading from, 'Voice of the Masters' by Eva Bell Werber

"Everyday I say to myself, today I will begin." - St. Anthony of the Desert

Today, we begin. This very moment, we begin... remembering that we ARE what's appearing as this moment, we are the substratum of the Now, we are the Christ. We celebrate the birth of Jesus today, the birth of the awareness of the Christ among us, and now, the birth of our awareness of the Christ within us.

Repeat this mantra by Herb Fitch, "I am not man or woman, I live the day as I, Spirit", and notice how you're already, effortlessly detached from the body. There's some space (t)here, naturally. You, as Awareness, don't have to try to detangle your Self from the body, you already are the witness. You already are Love. Be That, by feeling It and remembering to feel It all day. "Blessed is he who came into being before he came into being." (Gospel of Thomas)

Merry Christmas! I Love you,

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. I promise you. #MerryChristmas

With you in and AS Christhood,

"We all think of the Lord when troubled,

never when at peace.

But if we held our faith during peace,

there would be no trouble."

-Kabir Ke Dohe via IG

“This is the supreme meditation, this is the supreme worship: the continuous and unbroken awareness of the indwelling presence, inner light or consciousness. While doing whatever one is doing— seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing or talking— one should realize one’s essential nature as pure consciousness. Thus does one attain liberation.”

- The Yoga Vasistha

Whatever you're feeling... it's okay. It's just inner weather. You couldn't be feeling any other way. Breathe. Sway. Let's chat about how to take Shelter and ride it out, together.

God is here, even now. Feel It and know.

I Love you,

Nik

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
