Summary
Affirm: 'I Am Castled In God's Presence'
And in the beginning, It will feel like a fortress,
like you're protected.
But as you progress,
you'll realize-
there's
No thing
here.
No one that needs protecting.
Nothing to be protected from.
No fortress.
Just Love.
And the mind stops.
And this Love is heard.
I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:
"For how many more days can you live by external light, like that of sun and moon?
When your eyes fail, when your body becomes feeble with age and your intellect clouded, you will be left to grope in utter darkness. Set to work while there is yet time and try to kindle the inner light. In the hearth of the mind, ignite the fire of Self-inquiry or the fire of God's Name; fan it into a blazing flame by associating with the Holy and Wise, by prayer and meditation. Little by little, this light will grow bright and steady and illumine you both inwardly and outwardly; thereby the path to Self-realization will be made easy."
-Anandamayi Ma
"At all times keep your mind immersed in the thought of God, so that there may be no possibility of straying into a path that leads to misery."
-Anandamayi Ma
"Another level of you will begin to be born, a level of you which faces the apparently solid world around you. You'll find your Soul replacing your mind. You'll find the senses bump into your Soul instead of your mind which acquiesces and your Soul says, "uh-uh, no, no." And this birth of Soul awareness, as you practice this, is really the end product of what you're doing."
-Herb Fitch, 40 Days in the Wilderness Audio 1 (Orlando, 1984
"Never accept the limitations of your environment. Remain inwardly ensconced in the castle of God's presence. There is no other haven of safety....In fearlessness affirm: "I am castled in God's presence. No harm can reach me, for in every situation of life - physical, mental, financial, spiritual - I am protected in the fortress of God's presence."
-Paramahansa Yogananda
"When you do Sadhana, all the lines on the hand changes."
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
"Stop your mind so you can hear your Soul."
-Sant Dattatreya Kali Baba
"Let freedom ring..."
-Dr. Martin Luther King jr.
"So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
-John 8: 31-32
