View your mind like traffic that has nothing to do with you. Traffic that's on the other side of the road. The kind of traffic that makes you say, 'whooo! Glad I'm not going that way!" Don't get involved with it. You're not stuck in it. You're simply watching it. Every time a thought approaches, ask yourself, 'to whom does this thought come?' And pause... listen. The answer is the silence. The mind stops and leaves you in the remembrance, in the recognition that you were never out of Love... you weren't living in the outskirts of the Kingdom. YOU ARE THE KINGDOM. You're Home, in the City of God. And as long as you're feeling Love inside of you, you'll be consciously aware of Love manifest all around you... as you.

Even if for a few seconds. It's hard isn't it? This is the reason you have to ask yourself, 'To whom do these thoughts come?' It's only a modality to cause you to stop thinking." -Robert Adams "You cannot see anyone, the face of God is all that shines. The Soul of God looks out through all eyes."  - Joel Goldsmith  "None but ourselves can free our minds."  -Bob Marley

Never hold a thought, never drop the Thread. Watch and listen to your mind. Notice when it's doing what it does. Notice its judgements, criticisms, projections, conclusions. Don't react. Don't respond. Don't try to stop them. Just notice. And then notice what else is present. Listen to the Silence that the thoughts are coming and going in. Feel that Silence... Joy, Love... the Bliss of the Self. When you feel this Bliss, It puts the thoughts on transparency mode (like your noise canceling headphones). Now you're no longer hypnotized by thinking... It's not the only thing you can hear. Now you can also hear the Silence! You can feel the Thread. And It feels good. Don't drop It.

You have the right; it’s your inner domain. But instead of finding silence, you’re going to listen to incessant chatter: “Why am I doing this? I have more important things to do. This is a waste of time. There’s nobody in here but me. What’s this all about?” Right on cue, there’s your roommate. You may have a clear intention to be quiet inside, but your roommate won’t cooperate. And it’s not just when you try to be quiet. It has something to say about everything you look at: “I like it. I don’t like it. This is good. That’s bad.” It just talks and talks. You don’t generally notice because you don’t step back from it. You’re so close that you don’t realize that you’re actually hypnotized into listening to it. Basically, you’re not alone in there. There are two distinct aspects of your inner being. The first is you, the awareness, the witness, the center of your willful intentions; and the other is that which you watch. The problem is, the part that you watch never shuts up. If you could get rid of that part, even for a moment, the peace and serenity would be the nicest vacation you’ve ever had." -Singer, Michael A.. The Untethered Soul (p. 17)

You hesitate to carry the cross because your nature seeks joy But how can you have joy if you don't carry the cross? Many souls would like to choose their own crosses and to make them light.

Surrender. Surrender." Like a mantra.  (T)His Silence is a mantra,  reminding you of your purpose in every moment-- to surrender.  You can't just surrender once.  That's not how it works.  You have to surrender in every moment.  When you turn to God,  it's your turn,  your time,  you are His. "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine." - Isaiah 43:1 And you say,  "Oh my Jesus,  I surrender myself to you, take care of everything."

You give birth to Love in your world, into your problems, into your relationships, into your business, into that office. You have to learn to remain calm. You have to learn that everything is okay, even when it looks like it's not. You have to remember to say, 'Jesus, you take care of it,  I surrender myself to you,  take care of everything,  I love you.'

Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well.

Because so long as there is an individual who says " surrender" there is a surrenderer, an individual ego... What I'm saying is that even the surrendering is not in your hands." -Ramesh Balsekar "To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders." - Lao Tzu "Behind every thought, there is thoughtlessness; have you witnessed that stillness? Behind every noise, there is a voice whispering in silence; have you observed it? Behind every form, there is formlessness; have you become aware of it? Behind everything manifested, there is unmanifested; are we able to observe it? Behind every being. there is non- being: have you become mindful of it? Behind this addiction for certainty, there is uncertainty; have you surrendered to it?" -Ken J "You've been hard on yourself for a really long time now. It's good to be motivated, but not at the expense of constant pressure that consistently has you unimpressed with yourself. Now is the time to feed into treating yourself with care. Find ways to relax your body. Stretch. Release the buildup. Pamper yourself. Create an environment that inspires you to be at peace with where you are. Mantra: "Where I am, is where I need to be." Alignment comes before action." - @SourceMessages   God is saying-  When I tell you to rest, it means to keep busy about life, but keep quiet inside, keep vigil inside... don't back talk, judge, doubt, narrate or try to figure out what I Am doing,  what I did in the beginning. Don't try to get out in front of Me. Just listen for the next direction. For the next step. And you’ll begin to see that it is always to Love more. To feel Love again. Which means you’re (in) My will again. My Will for you is to be successful. And you are successful the moment you remember Love.  I Love you ❤️‍🔥

I pray you would be my comfort when I feel alone and it's painful. I pray that you would help me look for and find the blessings and joy you are providing instead of being consumed with all that is so difficult about this.

It is only those who have in some measure been touched by the Spirit of God who have the capacity to sit for ten minutes in this contemplation: What have I in my house? I have the full measure of Christ-peace. I have all that the Father has, for the Father has given His allness unto me. God has even breathed into me His life; therefore, I have in my consciousness life eternal. I, the Christ, am come that I might have life and that I might have it abundantly. I have in my house, in my consciousness, life, and life abundant, infinite life, eternal life. I have an infinity of supply, because the Christ reveals that my heavenly Father knows that I have need of all these things, and that it is His good pleasure to give me the kingdom. I have the kingdom of God within me, and this is the Kingdom of all that I shall ever need. I have in my consciousness eternal life, infinite supply, divine peace. As vou contemplate this for five or ten minutes each day, you carry into your world the awareness of all that God is and all that God has as a gift that has been bestowed upon you by the grace of God. If you have contemplated that, you have brought the peace that passes understanding into the room." - Joel S Goldsmith, Altitude of Prayer

Not only to all of the good, but also those things that it's about time I move on from. My life will benefit from this vantage point. This is the type of energy I willingly invite into my space." - @sourcemessages "When all doors are shut and you have nowhere to go, that is when you go within. Every crisis is an opportunity and you are the beginning." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Everything in your life is pre-planned by God. So just relax." - unknown

Dolindo Ruotolo "How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need turns to Me, looks at Me and says to Me; “You take care of it, then close its eyes and rests.” In pain you pray for Me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to Me; instead, you want Me to adapt to your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the Our Father: Hallowed be Thy Name, that is, be glorified in my need. Thy kingdom come, that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with Your kingdom. Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, that is, in our need, decide as You see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to Me truly: Thy will be done, which is he same as saying: You take care of it. I will intervene with all My omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations. O Jesus, I surrender myself to You, take care of everything! (10 times) Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus. Amen" ************************** "In my quiet place with Jesus, I heard the Lord say, "Get ready to recover all. Get ready to receive!" Some of you don't even realize that your feet have entered your promised land! Hold the Fathers hand and obey his commands, everything is about to change! Look at the attacks as proof. Your season has changed. The shift has begun. It's time. You have been remembered."- @Godlywaiting "Prayer requires more of the heart than of the tongue." - Adam Clarke "I do not know why there is this difference, but I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait. When you do enter your room, you will find that the long wait has done you some kind of good which you would not have had otherwise. But you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light: and of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house. And above all you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and paneling."- C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity "When you don't follow morning sadhana, the whole day you will be tortured by maya. Whatever little I have taught you, follow that, and nobody will be aggrieved. No maya will touch you." - Srila Prabhupada  "Carry the conviction in yourself that the knowledge 'I am' within you is God." - Nisargadatta Gita, 184 "You are the will of God." -A Course in Miracles

If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing." - John 15:5 ***************************************** In every situation I've ever been in, I stand there long enough, or I sit there long enough, listening to the Silence within,  and whatever emotion was (t)here, it parts like clouds,  and there's the Son, again.  Jesus, smiling like, 'You did it! GoOD! Now let's do it again... (let's take it from the top haha) Can you recognize Me again?  Can you find Me again?  In this scene? And in this mess? And in that person?  And in this circumstance?

It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother’s way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in My care, so that only I act; saying, "You take care of it". (Repeat the following prayer 10 times.) O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus. Amen" - Father Ruotolo Dolindo  "A beautiful prayer to Krishna is, 'please let me feel your warm affection as I chant.'" - Mahatma Das  "Without a name, without a body, tell me about yourself. Tell me something about yourself without mentioning your memories or mind. Can you tell me something? Nothing can be said... That's You." - Nisargadatta Maharaj “‘Lest ye become as little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.’ Unless you start again, become that trusting, open surrendered being, the energy can’t come in. That’s the kingdom of heaven; the energy, cosmic consciousness, the same thing.” – Ram Dass "He was crucified so that his spirit could spread throughout the world. He sacrificed his body for the dharma. He never died, he never died. He is Atman (the Soul), living in the hearts of all." -Neem Karoli Baba 

I told you I would teach you to pray the rosary.  And I will.  But this felt more urgent, because I could feel your stress.  I can feel your anxiety,  your uncertainty,  your increasing desperation for solutions,  for the Light. And of all the prayers I've prayed,  this one works.  There is no better prayer than this.  I love you,  nik  nik --Our new book, 'Wake Up to Love' is HERE! Get your copy. Share a copy.

Love is the same as absolute consciousness, pure intelligence or the power of God. When you have enough love inside you, there really are no problems. Problems only arise when you believe you're separated and loveless. " - Robert Adams  Day 1 "Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations. O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times) Concluding prayer: Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus." -Servant of God Don Dolindo Ruotolo  "Your faith has saved you; go in peace." - Luke 7:50

"My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?" (Matthew 27:46) A cry of despair, painted in Love and prophecy. Psalm 22 whispers through time, reminding us to hold fast to the Light.
