Summary
What sound does a Star make?
Ask yourself this question and listen to the silence that follows.
Every time you're noticing thoughts today,
pause,
and come back Here.
To the Scintillating-Silence.
Hear your Light.
Feel your Light.
When you dissolve thoughts in this Light, you're dissolving the problem.
Whatever it was you were thinking about is also clearing--
the sky of your mind is clearing,
revealing the twinkling Star,
the Sun,
that you are,
that I Am.
With you in and AS the Shining,
Nik

p.s. How I weathered the (inner and outer) storm-
1. Prioritized meditation and silent sitting
2. Limited access to me- reduced meetings, phone calls, text messages, excessive news watching, and went inside myself ("Worldly people go outwards but you go inwards like the tortoise withdrawing in his shell." - Neem Karoli Baba)
3. Whenever fear or doubt would arise, I'd immediately retreat if I could, to hear God's voice, the voice of Silence, over my own.
4. Trusted that everything would be okay no matter what, and that whether the storm appeared to hit our home or not, the practice, the work was the same-- to open my heart.
5. Smiled and help others find theirs.
“My challenge to you as fellow pilgrims on the journey, is to cultivate the stability of living on two planes of consciousness simultaneously—as Christ said, ‘In the world but not of the world,’ to be fully passionately involved in life and also be totally equanimous and centered. This is not an either/or, it’s a both/and.”
- Ram Dass

"When you go within yourself-- I don't care what the trouble is-- and Christ arises, awakens, it says to the storm within you, 'Peace, Be Still,' and there is a great Calm. You have entered meditation; you have left the storm of the mind and entered the Silence."
-Bill Skiles
"As for the Word--
His wisdom meditates on It,
His teaching utters It,
His knowledge has revealed It,
His patience is a crown upon It,
His joy is in harmony with It,
His glory has exalted It,
His character has revealed It,
His rest has received It,
His Love has incarnated It,
His faith has embraced It."
-The Word of the Father Appears (Naghamadi Texts, translation by John Lash)

| 0:00.0 | Good morning, God morning to you. |
| 0:29.8 | The way I'm filling right now, back home, back in my little studio, talking to you with my |
| 0:40.2 | shoulders down and back, a little smile on my face, joy in my heart. This is what I practiced |
| 0:47.0 | all last week. The set point, the center, this bass line, remembering it, returning to it, |
| 0:57.3 | even with the headlines and the news playing in the other room on 10 on 100. All the text messages, |
| 1:05.2 | all the DMs checking on us because the hurricane was making a b-line towards us. I remember vividly, |
| 1:13.5 | someone calling my mother and we were, we had to evacuate, we live on a peninsula, on a peninsula, |
| 1:20.5 | and so we were four hours south east of our home. And I remember someone calling my mom |
| 1:26.5 | that morning that the storm made landfall and telling her, oh, your town was hit hard, it's |
| 1:33.0 | underwater. And I could feel in my gut that that wasn't true. I knew it wasn't true. I didn't think |
| 1:39.0 | we were going to get hit. And so instead of arguing or saying anything, I left her to her phone call |
| 1:47.1 | and I slid out of the room and back into my room where my meditation pillow was and I sat. |
| 1:53.4 | I spent a lot of time on that meditation pillow in that room. That was the only thing really that I |
| 1:58.9 | packed and I sat. I got still. Phil Skow says, when you go within yourself and Christ arises, |
| 2:08.4 | Christ awakens, it says to the storm within you, peace be still. And there is a great calm |
| 2:15.2 | and you have entered meditation. You have left the storm of the mind and entered the silence. |
| 2:22.4 | I sat on that mat until I could hear silence again until I could hear the sound of silence again |
| 2:28.0 | until I could feel love again. As Alma says, as the depth of love increases, the intensity of fear |
| 2:34.9 | slowly decreases. Every chance I got, I was on my meditation pillow, every chance I got even when |
| 2:42.0 | I was with people, with my parents, with my children, with my sister, with her husband that closed |
| 2:48.0 | my eyes sometimes and find this. The way I'm filling now, clear-minded, calm heart. That was the whole |
| 2:58.0 | practice. Before I left that house in South Florida over the weekend, I thanked that space, that room |
