Architecture of all Abundance Chapter 2

I know I may be jumping the gun a little this month, but I need the reminder right now.

These quotes are taken from; The Architecture of all Abundance by Lenedra J. Carroll

The greatest event is that sudden stroke of grace which shows us who and what we are, beyond the world of appearances, beyond conditions and circumstances, beyond fear and resistance, beyond desire and fulfillment, beyond the images and beliefs of the mind. The most wonderful event is to collide with the unifying silence beyond all this, untouched by all this, Here in this silence we encounter our truest potential, already realized. Here in this silence. This silence, which, while beyond all things, is ever present, surrounding us, holding us, sustaining us, feeding us. Entering the deep forests of this silence is the greatest and most wondrous of events.---------------------------------Robert Rabbin

It is the journey into silence that leads to a stillness that can inform our actions and our lives with peace and with abundance............................................................................................................
there are many routes inward: prayer, meditation, nature, solitude, contemplation, workshops, sacred writings, dance, ceremony, poetry, music, chanting, gardening, the practice of religion.

Sit quietly, doing nothing. Spring comes, and the grass grows by itself.------------Zen saying

My prayer is that someone out there will gain something from this. As I said before, this book has changed my life, and continues to do so.
