This Holy Silence is God saying;

“There is no problem…
that mind that is so heavy? It isn’t even there,
because I’m there.
I’m here.
Hear Me.
Listen to Me.”

And in that listening your shoulders come down,
your breath deepens,
lengthens,
your stomach goes soft,
your jaw relaxes,
you become aware of the weight of your phone in your hand,
and even though that face may not be smiling just yet,
your Heart Is.
And that’s the ‘upleveling’.

Today’s Quotes:   

“The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still.”
-ACIM

“Become so still you can hear the blood flowing through your veins.”
-Mira

“Now when an emotional upset starts, it may start out of a thought process, but then it starts to involve all of the body — the adrenaline and all kinds of chemical reactions. Then often, one of the ways out of it is to work with the body.  For example, running or movement. Taking a walk. Doing things which start to release the energy, the kind of chemical buildup. Because you get that kind of nervous energy when you are emotionally upset. Then there is meditation–quieting down and allowing yourself to see how lost you’ve gotten. I mean on the deeper devotional path, there is the offering of the emotion to God.  Saying, “Here, You take it.  I offer it to You.”  There is appreciating your humanity. “Yea, here I am. I’m human. I just lost it again.  Ah so!” There’s the Ah so — Right? “Okay. Once more. Boy, am I hung up.” These are all spiritual techniques. See, it’s the upleveling. It’s the ability to see it without denying it. Not saying, “I’m not really upset.” “I am upset. Far out. Here we are again.” It’s like talking with God and saying “Oh, look at how deliciously human I am.” Not to milk it.  Not to keep feeding it, but not to push it away. That’s the quickest way through. To acknowledge it, allow it, and then use body energy to keep working out the chemical stuff that’s built up and the tension in the body that’s been built up. And then get on with it and just keep letting go, letting go, letting go. Sometimes music does it. There are a lot of techniques that do it.”
–Ram Dass

“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one”
-Rumi

“Gain this consciousness of God’s presence and you have the whole secret of success in every walk of life.
…
It is our conscious union with God which enables us to live without taking thought and makes possible a life of complete abundance – by Grace.”
-Goldsmith, Joel S., The Infinite Way (Kindle Locations 1081-1089). Dancing Unicorn Books. Kindle Edition
