TEA AND ZEN - THREADS

The Evening Contemplation

We live our lives looking to find peace and bliss again in God, thinking mistakenly that in becoming human we had separated from God or that God had separated from us, seemingly cast out from Home. In this one statement lies all the suffering in the world. Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe
In the quiet between heartbeats a whisper calls you home, you are not broken you are becoming. These threads of silence and sound are letters from the threshold, offerings from the edge of stillness.

UPDATE

I am taking a few days for introspection which always leads to a greater understanding of my part in things and how I may serve. Will be back in a couple of days when I come back up for air. Remember Love, Nigel Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

The Evening Contemplation

I heard someone say that knowledge is important. However, without the wisdom found only in the heart to guide that knowledge, to bring it home so to speak..... you will not find the truth of anything. Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

The Evening Contemplation

The environmental crisis is inseparable from the spiritual crisis that exists within the soul of most modern men and women and, is in fact an objectivization of this primarily inward crisis. Seyyad Hossein NasrTime is running out on our ability to manage successfully our impact on this our home, Mother Earth, its environment, bio-diversity, resource and life-support systems on which life as we know it depends. The response and action that is now required of us must be firmly rooted in our deepest moral and spiritual principles.

The Evening Contemplation

You should go home to your hermitage; it is inside you. Close the doors, light the fire, and make it cozy again. That is what I call 'taking refuge in the island of Self.' If you don't go home to yourself, you continue to lose yourself. You destroy yourself and you destroy people around you, even if you have goodwill and want to do something to help. That is why the practice of going home to the island of Self is so important. No one can take your true home away.  ~ Thich Nhat Hanh Get full access to Tea and Zen - Threads at teaandzen.substack.com/subscribe

Insights and Parables

It is said that we cannot know what Nature, The Universe, what God's will is for us, we can only pray for knowledge of that will and the wisdom to carry that out. But surely whatever that will is, at its core, it comes with kindness, compassion, love, and with grace. Is this not then the truth of any matter?
