Breathe, breathe long and deep. Breathe slowly and gently, breathe in the soft, sweet nothingness of life, so full of energy, so full of love. It is God’s Love you are breathing. Breathe deeply and you can feel it. Breathe very deeply, and the love will make you cry. For joy! For you have met God, and God has introduced you to your soul.
Once this experience has taken place, life is never the same. People talk about having been to the summit of the mountain, deep into the ocean or slipping into sublime ecstasy. Their Being is changed forever.
Silence holds the secret of life. The sweetest sound in life is the sound of silence. This is the song of soul. When mastery is reached, or even intermittently experienced, the noises of the world can be muffled, the distractions subsided even in the midst of them. All of life becomes a meditation.
So use your life as a meditation, and all the events in it. Walk in wakefulness, not asleep. Move in mindfulness, not mindlessly, and do not tarry in doubt and fear, neither guilt nor shame. Reside permanently in faith that you are grandly loved, that everything is in its right place. You are always one with Universe, you are forever welcome. Welcome home.
