Transcript

Welcome,

Dear ones.

My name is Leslie,

And I am grateful that you have chosen to join me in this prayer by James Dillett Freeman.

I am there.

Do you need me?

I am there.

You cannot see me,

Yet I am the light you see by.

You cannot hear me,

Yet I speak through your voice.

You cannot feel me,

Yet I am the power at work in your hands.

I am at work,

Though you do not understand my ways.

I am at work,

Though you do not recognize my works.

I am not strange visions.

I am not mysteries.

Only in absolute stillness,

Beyond self,

Can you know me.

I am,

And then,

But as a feeling and a faith.

Yet,

I am there.

Yet,

I hear.

Yet,

I answer.

When you need me,

I am there.

Even if you deny me,

I am there.

Even when you feel most alone,

I am there.

Even in your fears,

I am there.

Even in your pain,

I am there.

I am there when you pray,

And when you do not pray.

I am in you,

And you are in me.

Only in your mind can you feel separate from me.

For only in your mind are the mists of yours and mine.

Yet,

Only with your mind can you know me and experience me.

Empty your heart of empty fears.

When you get yourself out of the way,

I am there.

You can of yourself do nothing,

But I can do all.

And I am in all.

Though you may not see the good,

Good is there.

For I am there.

I am there because I have to be,

Because I am.

Only in me does the world have meaning.

Only out of me does the world go forward.

I am the law in which the movement of the stars and the growth of living cells are founded.

I am the love that is the laws fulfilling.

I am assurance.

I am peace.

I am oneness.

I am the law that you can live by.

I am the love that you can cling to.

I am your assurance.

I am your peace.

I am one with you.

I am.

Though you fail to find me,

I do not fail you.

Though your faith in me is unsure,

My faith in you never wavers.

Because I know you.

Because I love you.

Beloved,

I am there.

Perfect meditation on waking up on the 1st day for the rest of my life. Namasté!🙏🏽☮️❤️

Even though this is “only” a 5 minute meditation, it spoke to my heart as if it were an hour long meditation. It is so rich and healing and exactly what I needed. I heard it as though Jesus himself was speaking the words out loud. Thank you for this meditation. I will be returning to it over and over again! Shalom.
