(Psalms 27:5 – TPT)

― Thich Nhat Hanh

(Psalms 91:1 – AMPC)

II – “Here’s what I want you to do: Find a quiet, secluded place so you won’t be tempted to role-play before God. Just be there as simply and honestly as you can manage. The focus will shift from you to God, and you will begin to sense his grace.”
(Mathew 6:6 – The Message)

11-11-18 – THE SECRET PLACE OF THE MOST HIGH: The Manifested Miracles of the Meditative Life

Today’s Notes:

I – “You who sit down in the High God’s presence, spend the night in Shaddai’s shadow…”
(Psalms 91:1 – The Message)

II – “He that dwelleth in the seter Elyon (covering, hiding place of the Most High) shall abide under the tzel Shaddai (shadow of the Almighty).”
(Psalm 91:1 – OJB)

III – “When you sit enthroned under the shadow of Shaddai, you are hidden in the strength of God Most High.”
(Psalms 91:1 – TPT)

IV – “One who lives in the secret place of the Most High
will lodge in the shadow of Shaddai.”
(Psalms 91:1 – Lexham English Bible)

V – “He who dwells in the shelter of Elyon,
will abide in the shadow of Shaddai.”
(Psalms 91:1 – TLV)

VI – “Intuition is the language of silence, the Existential language. The word “in-tuition” means to listen within yourself. Intuition is the silent voice within, which is already in contact with the Existence. Intuition is the voice of God.

The more you come in contact with the inner silence, the inner emptiness, the more you have access to your intuition. Silence is the nourishment for intuition.

If something increases your love, joy and silence, it is the criterion that it is the right path for you. If something decreases your love, joy and silence, it is a sign that you are on the wrong path.
Do not compare yourself with others when it comes to make a decision about what you should do, follow the love, joy and silence of your heart and inner being. When you are in contact with your inner silence, you just know what you should do – you do not have to think about it, and you do not need to compare the pros and cons – you just know.

You can listen to the advice of others, but always listen to your intuition, to your inner teacher and guide in life, when you make the final decision. The intuition, the language of silence, will always lead you right.” ― Swami Dhyan Giten

VII – “Go within every day and find the inner strength
so that the world will not blow your candle out.”
― Katherine Dunham

Today’s Notes:

I – “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
(Psalms 91:1 – NKJV)

II – “He who lives in the safe place of the Most High will be in the shadow of the All-powerful.”
(Psalms 91:1 – NLV)

III – “There’s a private place reserved for the lovers of God, where they sit near him and receive the revelation-secrets of his promises.”
(Psalms 25:14 – TPT)

IV – “ONLY those who stand in awe of the Eternal will have intimacy with Him, and He will reveal His covenant to them.”
(Psalms 25:14 – The Voice)

V – “To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of, because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solutions….” — Deepak Chopra

VI – “Make peace with silence, and remind yourself that it is in this space that you’ll come to remember your spirit. When you’re able to transcend an aversion to silence, you’ll also transcend many other miseries. And it is in this silence that the remembrance of God will be activated.” ~ Wayne W. Dyer

VII – “Your enlightenment is perfect only when silence has come to be a celebration. Hence my insistence that after you meditate you must celebrate. After you have been silent you must enjoy it, you must have a thanksgiving. A deep gratitude must be shown towards the whole just for the opportunity that you are, that you can meditate, that you can be silent, that you can laugh.” – Osho

10-18-18 – MEDITATION AND MANIFESTING THE MIND OF CHRIST! – Part III

Today’s Notes:
I – “God has shown us these profound and startling realities through His Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep mysteries of God. Who can see into a man’s heart and know his thoughts? Only the spirit that dwells within the man. In the same way, the thoughts of God are known only by His Spirit. You must know that we have not received the spirit of this rebellious and broken world but the Spirit that comes from God, so that we may experience and comprehend the gifts that come from God. We do not speak of these gifts of God in words shaped by human wisdom; we speak in words crafted by the Spirit because our collective judgment on spiritual matters is accessible to those who have the Spirit. But a person who denies spiritual realities will not accept the things that come through the Spirit of God; they all sound like foolishness to him. He is incapable of grasping them because they are disseminated, discerned, and valued by the Spirit. A person who walks by the Spirit examines everything, sizing it up and seeking out truth. But no one is able to examine or size up that kind of spiritual person, for the Scripture asks, “Does anyone know the mind of the Lord well enough to become His advisor?” But we do possess the mind of the Anointed One.
(I Corinthians 2:10-16 – The Voice)

II – “But the spiritual man tries all things [he] examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern or appraise or get an insight into him].”
(I Corinthians 2:15 – AMPC)

III – “Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

IV – meme (at 1:10:35)

V – meme (at 1:11:39)

VI – As gold purified in a furnace loses its impurities and achieves its own true nature, the mind gets rid of the impurities of the attributes of delusion, attachment and purity through meditation and attains Reality. – Adi Shankara

VII – “Silence is not an absence but a presence.” – Anne D. LeClaire
