Today we begin, to stop. Just for Now. Whenever you get the urge to leap into unnecessary business, pause and Hear. Pause and Chant.  Pause and Love. As humans we're all addicted to something, so crave this Pause. Worship this Scintillating Silence. Devour It. Love It. Until Grace wakes you up as It.

Suddenly, he wakes up, call it grace, whatever, something wakes him, and he is no longer a worm. He is the entire vineyard, and the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks, a growing wisdom and joy that does not need to devour." -Rumi -There's a great silence that is listening to the thoughts." -Adyashanti "We are all addicts. All addiction has spiritual roots. The alcoholic, when they're drinking the beer, what they're really trying to do is drink unconditional Love. And when they're smoking  a cigarette, they're trying to inhale unconditional Love, the cigarette, the chocolate the sex might give you a taste of unconditional Love but it doesn't last. That's why you see the seeking mechanism can't provide the unconditional love that we seek, because the unconditional love that we seek is actually who we already are." -Jeff Foster Jeff Foster reading via IG-- https://www.instagram.com/p/ClazIk3s82E/?hl=en I've read and LOVE and highly recommend all of his beuatiful books, but this one is a great place to start if you feel like stopping :) -- The Way of Rest But this one, 'An Extraordinary Absence' was one of the books that kicked off my journey more than 10 years ago! I read it and re-read it and now that I'm remember it, will be revisiting! Enjoy!   Support the show
