Summary
Every time you cross over a threshold,
over into a new room,
whether you're just walking from room to room in your house,
or walking around your office space at work,
or walking into a store,
running errands,
every time you step over a threshold,
listen for the faintest sound you can hear.
Another way of saying that is listen for your miracle.
What miracle will I watch unfold in this place?
Who will I watch myself helping in this place?
Who will I watch helping me in this place?
What message will I receive in this place?
Which is just this Presence appearing as this place.
There is no 'that place' and 'this place'.
There is no 'over there'.
It's all Here,
appearing as 'there',
appearing as 'then',
as 'next',
but there's only Now.
And as long as you're feeling Love now,
as long as you're hearing Love now,
you're saved,
you're in your power.
You don't have to wait on that future-Now.
You don't have to wait for a sign,
you don't have to wait for guidance anymore.
You are the guidance.
This presence is the guidance.
It is the future, Now.
You're living like you came here to live, now.
And you have to trust,
not blindly,
but by felt-faith,
by what you're feeling right now,
that what you're living inside you'll see outside.
Even though you can't see it yet,
you can hear it,
you can feel it,
you can know it,
it knows you,
it chose you,
it wants you, too.
It was never about timing.
It was about aligning,
and you have.
I love you,
Nik
