Summary
"God's presence is so close; it is just as though somebody is playing hide-and-seek with you in a dark room. Though you do not see the person, you feel that he is there. That is how God is, just behind the darkness of your unseeing eyes."
- Yogananda
"But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul."
-Deuteronomy 4:29
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust."
- Psalms 91
Today's Practice:
1. In every new scene... kitchen, bathroom, office, hallway, etc. STOP SUDDENLY.
2. Close your eyes.
3. Know by feeling, that Love is (t)here. Allow It to rise up into your awareness . Breathe It in.
Love is always fully present, fully found. It's you that's hiding. It's you that's distracted. It's you that forgets. When you think you're 'you', Love is lost. When you remember that you are Love, you're found in and as It. Stay here. Keep playing. Keep finding your Self in every moment.
I Love you,
Nik

| 0:25.3 | Good morning |
| 0:29.3 | morning to you. Place your right hand over your heart. Close your eyes and rock your way |
| 0:45.9 | into the awareness of love the way you rock when you're listening to your favorite song. |
| 0:55.4 | But here the song is silence. It's the pure song, the first song. And when you listen |
| 1:12.7 | for it, it calms your mind. And when your mind is calm you feel good, you feel |
| 1:23.7 | God and you smile and you sway. And from this place I want you to hear these words |
| 1:34.9 | from Yogananda. He says, God's presence is so close. It's just as though somebody is |
| 1:44.4 | playing hide and seek with you in a dark room. Though you do not see the person you |
| 1:49.9 | feel that he is there, that's how God is just behind the darkness of your unseen eyes. |
| 1:59.2 | Keep smiling, keep swaying. Keep knowing this love as God's presence where you are and |
| 2:10.3 | knowing that when you feel it, you are in that place where all problems have but one universal |
| 2:16.6 | solution. It's an end of my mind. Or as it says in the Bible, you are dwelling in the |
| 2:22.8 | secret place of the most high. But it's not some place we only visit on Sundays. It's |
| 2:31.0 | not some place we have to travel to. It's not a place. It's what we are. It's not a |
| 2:38.7 | place that we can generate and sustain. It's our existence. And our purpose is consciously |
| 2:49.5 | being this. Remembering this, practicing staying aware of this by any means necessary. |
| 3:00.0 | However, that looks for you. Making it a game. Which is still one of my favorite ways |
| 3:08.1 | to stay aware, intending to not take a step or to take a breath without feeling love. |
| 3:17.9 | I could look like sharing, talking about this, reading about this, writing about this. |
| 3:30.1 | Every task I have set before me during the day is done in the consciousness of this, |
| 3:37.5 | that you feel right now. That thoughts seem to distract you from, but they cannot. |
