Listen "The Recognition of Love"
Episode Synopsis
Everywhere we look, life is unfolding in countless forms. From the smallest seed breaking open beneath the soil, to the vast turning of the stars above, creation is a living whole. Human life, the wider web of animals and plants, and even the dimensions of being we cannot see — all are expressions of the same Source.
At its heart, creation is not random or mechanical. It is the manifestation of love and light taking form. Each living being, each aspect of existence, is a doorway through which this love becomes present in the world.
The divisions we draw — between species, between cultures, between the visible and the unseen — are illusions that cause us to forget our belonging. When we recognize that all life arises from the same Source, a different way of seeing emerges. We begin to notice the underlying unity that holds us, the thread of connection that binds all things.
This recognition is more than an idea. It changes how we live. It softens the urge to compete, to divide, to harm. It deepens our respect for one another and for the earth. It brings a sense of freedom, because the walls that keep us apart — from each other, from nature, from what we call spirit — begin to dissolve.
To live from this place is not to escape the world, but to engage with it more fully. It is to see each being, each moment, as part of love’s unfolding. It is to remember that we ourselves are not separate, but participants in the one great movement of creation.
When we recognize this, we find ourselves standing on common ground with all that exists. And from that ground, a more compassionate, just, and peaceful way of living becomes possible. Nigel Lott teaandzen.org
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. Nigel TEA AND ZEN - MAIN LIBRARY
