“We have in us a divine spark that you can see. It’s a Light that shines in the human being. It’s our direct access to truth, our direct access to God. The purpose of all the spiritual practices that exist are to awaken that sparkto give it life, to give it energy, so that it can transform you. One of the energies that comes from that spark is Love.” ~ Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee

The Small Still Voice

Draw Near to God
“If you want to draw near to God, seek him in the hearts of those around you.
Speak well of all, present or absent. If you would be a light for others, be like the sun: show the same face to all. To bring joy to a single heart is better than building countless shrines for worship; to capture one heart through kindness is better than setting a thousand free. This is the true lover of God, who lives with others, rises and eats and sleeps like others, gives and takes with others in the bazaar, yet never forgets God even for a moment.” ~ Abu Sai’d

Smile
“If you really know how to live, what better way to start the day than with a smile?…Smiling helps you approach the day with gentleness and understanding….Smile with your whole being.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Smiling as a spiritual practice — I love it. That’s one way we shine our light into the world.
Only Two Mistake
“There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth: Not going all the way, and Not starting.” ~ The Buddha
