Summary
Today's Quotes:
"Remember that finding God will be the funeral of all sorrows."
- Sri Yukteswar Giri via Autobiography of a Yogi
“Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are.”
-Chinese Proverb
“St. Teresa of Avila wrote: 'All difficulties in prayer can be traced to one cause: praying as if God were absent.' This is the conviction that we bring with us from early childhood and apply to everyday life and to our lives in general. It gets stronger as we grow up, unless we are touched by the Gospel and begin the spiritual journey. This journey is a process of dismantling the monumental illusion that God is distant or absent.”
-Thomas Keating, Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit
"You are so near that I cannot see You. Like a fool I keep looking around."
-Rumi
Today's Practice:
Finding and knowing this Love ends your worries, ends your suffering… ends the limited and distorted concept of 'you'. And in its place, the Grace of felt-Oneness... Wisdom... Purpose.. Joy... I Am.
I Love you and I'm with you,
Nik
