Sit up taller,  until You are taller than that body.  Beyond that body.  What can you hear? What can you see? You are being led by the Silence, by the Sound in (and AS) the Silence, by the Sweetness, back to where you came from. And while you effortlessly abide back here, that body moves forward into the Light, into its purpose, into trials that it will triumph over, into what it was made to do, who it was made to be, which is Christ in this world. God in this world. Can you treat everyone you meet today like they are Jesus in disguise? Jesus in different costumes?  Some old, some young, some with floppy ears and wagging tails, some with beaks, some with gray hair, some with brown hair, some with attitudes, some with smiles... If you can treat each of these as if they are Jesus,  you become more like Him. Like The Christ He is beyond 'Jesus'.  You walk like that. You live like that. Death dies like that.  I love you,  nik  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "Now, at this time, you are not able to hear his True Name, but the name that is given to him is Jesus the Messiah." - Acts of Thomas; cf. AAA p.294 "The Messiah is Among You" --Matthew Kelly "The whole purpose of life as I see it now is to practice the presence of God at every conscious moment. I used to think that such a state of mind or soul would be conferred suddenly when I succeeded in reaching samadhi or union. Now I realize that it is a habit that has to be trained into me, and that samadhi is not to be the cause of this perpetual enjoyment but the result and crowning achievement of it. More frequently now my mind is drawn to that very deep state where the presence of God is explicit, incontestable... Sometimes His presence comes with such a quiet and tender sweetness that I find myself weeping with gratitude. When you surrender to that absolute stillness, that all-pervasive beneficent light, that inexpressibly sweet, sweet bliss, there is no doubt, no doubt at all, in your heart or in your mind, that you are experiencing God." - Nancy Mayorga "There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual conversation with God... Ah! if we but knew the need we have of the grace and assistance of God, we would never lose sight of Him, no, not for a moment." - Brother Lawrence  "Only from the heart can you touch the sky." - Rumi
