TEA AND ZEN - THREADS
Threads is a contemplative audio offering from Meditation Sans Frontières, a sanctuary devoted to presence, remembrance, and the quiet radiance of being. These transmissions arise from lived experience — from grief that has softened into wisdom, from love that refuses to diminish, and from the sacred interior technologies of stillness and relational presence.

‘Underscore’ Hampus NaeseliusLove is the one and only thing we are capable of perceiving that transcends dimensions of time and space. It is the only thing that permeates all matter, all form, and the absence of any form or matter. It is simply on every breath we take, was there before breath we took and will be there when breath we take no more. It is the conveyor of all truth and as such all suffering is healed in its presence, when laid bare at its feet.Nigel Lott Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

In order to be free, to align our will with that of the Universe and what it is wanting to create, there comes a time in any given life when with great courage (whatever the consequences) we are asked to be in integrity with the truth found only within the spiritual heart and its inherent wisdom, and to make a stand there, with our feet firmly planted on the ground. Every thought, word and deed is then taken in kindness and compassion……in the name of Love….all peace be on earth.Is this such a moment for you now? I HOPE so.Nigel Lott meditationsansfrontieres.com Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

We have to know and believe, even in these most troubled of times that we are being watched over. Hard to imagine that the people in this world who are suffering so much are being watched over, wherever that suffering is being made manifest in this world of ours.Perhaps we can make this poem a blessing then, in that if we believe they are not being watched over, if we think somehow that God has abandoned them to their fate, may we pray that they are again to be watched over and that a holy lamp again be lit within their hearts. Nigel LottP.S.This of course is for ourselves as well in that whenever we are suffering and believe that we are not being watched over, that we have been abandoned that we know that contrary to our suffering we are indeed being watched over and that a holy lamp be lit again in our hearts.That in all truth, though hard to know at times, the light is always on and we are indeed being watched over, we are never in all reality alone.

6th Third Eye Chakra Kundalini Breath….369The truth will have its way sooner or later, and by the truth I mean the awareness and practice of acts of the deepest realms of kindness and compassion , which is what the universe is creating, wanting to create……in its LOVE.‘Love is the only reality and it is not a mere sentiment. It is the ultimate truth that lies at the heart of creation’. Rabindranath TagoreWe can pull in the other direction, and we often do….which will always be our suffering, or allow ourselves to heal, to surrender. For we will always be drawn, like a tractor beam….pulled back to the truth…..and so it goes…on and on, no doubt an aspect of the creative process.We follow that ache and yearning that quality of grief at the center of our spiritual hearts to its natural conclusion, Love…. of our alignment with the will of the universe, bit by bit, day by day. It all sounds like a long ways away, yet it is less then a blink of an eye away at any given moment. We can do what we can to align ourselves with that will, the will of the universe, or of God, by any other name in this lifetime, or wait which is always going to be painful. We can commit to doing the work now this very day to open our hearts, to surrender to the truth of it all….LOVEIf not before, certainly at the moment of our death we fully finally realize our true nature [un-encumbered by any aspect of ego] in becoming one with all that is we realize it has always been about LOVE, it always was, and will always be!In the interests of the sentient beings on this planet, all life forms, will you do whatever you can to surrender to Love and help the universe in its efforts in the name of all PEACE?May all Love become manifest.
