[@floryniculescu]

I always go to sleep listening all your recordings in the silence of my being … Your voice is a Divine gift, the teachings are the highest form of spirituality, from Advaita to Christianity. Deep bow to you and your contribution in the awakening of Consciousness.🙏

[@rebeccablossom9823]

Me also ❤

[@tetemonful]

Just like me too 🙏❤️

[@stacielivinthedream8510]

Me too! ❤

[@neildmedia]

Me too. Helped me through lockdown then I lost my wife suddenly. An oasis in a desert of grief 🙏

[@hipchicagal2111]

@floryniculescu Yes, same here. You stated that beautifully. ☮️💗✨️

[@rezagatchpazian977]

This particular clip and it's contents, are possibly the best one in this channel among hundreds of other nice clips. It is very meaningful, and deeply moving. Really well done. Can't get enough of it. My absolute favorite. Blessings to you ❤

[@Always-There]

Such solid instruction for any seeker. Stay in the Heart as much as you can & ever increase the practice. Then one day you notice that God is always there in the background, whatever you do. It’s 17th century Mindfulness isn’t it. 🙂

[@TheMagykKonch]

What does it mean to “stay in the heart”?

[@bjarkenielsen8515]

@@TheMagykKonch It means... Thoughts are non of your business, they are not even yours. Stay out of your mind.

[@PhillipBell]

A friend lent this book to me just a few weeks ago. It is a short read and emphasizes the direct path. You can find it freely online. I recommend it.

[@spiritualbliss7855]

Is there any other way than "direct" on the spiritual path?

[@sufismouniversalista6931]

​@@spiritualbliss7855 indirect

[@SarahDale111]

​@@spiritualbliss7855It seems many people practice meditation or yoga or mindfulness for decades before they give up. I'd say that's the long and winding road.

[@parthpawar]

​@@spiritualbliss7855direct path means instead of focusing on such rituals or objects Ego directly mergers into silence of our self/God..

[@PhillipBell]

@@spiritualbliss7855 Yes, there are many paths. All lead to the same place :) Non-dualists will know about the "progressive" path, which includes practicing Bhakti and Karma Yoga in order to purify the mind. The direct path is extremely challenging when our minds are not prepared for it. Brother Lawrence himself wrote about "no end of difficulties" in keeping himself fixated on God.

[@Schneebs]

Something about Christian Mysticism is so beautiful to me.

[@brjimbo1]

It's the new essence of Christianity

[@juanromero7189]

The mystical experiences are almost identical in every spiritual tradition. It's the source of perennial wisdom.

[@dmhubiak]

Thank you Samaneri for continuing with your Christian Mystics series, please do more as they are very important in my life right now. I enjoy and value all of your videos. Yours is the best collection of vocally read spiritual scriptures I’ve found online and your voice and timing are perfect for delivering these sacred visions from the masters to the people of today’s world.

[@tippieyanez8289]

Samaneri. I wish i could give you a warm hug. Thank you for using your voice. It has been been transforming me from the inside.Slowly. Everyday. I am in deep gratitude for you and the people who put these exquisite videos together. God bless you.

[@NeverCryWolf64]

In the end, all the great spiritual masters of all the traditions arrive finally to find only the empty heart and the luminous presence within.

[@karinmorley7092]

It's true. They call it New Age, etc, but it is as old as time.

[@sheenapearse766]

Wow! Wonderful essential Truth about the central importance of emptiness of the heart (Kenosis - Philippians 2:7) necessary for divine union . Communion with God requires our undivided attention . The Sufi poet Rumi put it this way ‘ The heart of man is the throne of God .’ Thanks .

[@amia7999]

Jayasara. Sister. Thank you so much. This is beautiful, the words, the music, your voice. Blessings rain down on you and all the nuns at your hermitage. You cannot know how life changing it has been to find you. God fills my heart with love. Thank you thank you.

[@realignallegiance1607]

You have such skill in bringing these teachings to life! Bravo and thank you!

[@paulinebryant1549]

It's good to be alive when you are reading to us Samaneri. Thankyou so much. Love from Geelong, Victoria.

[@ineoeon8925]

It is not the words being said but the silence in between, what guides the meaning to the heart.

[@TheAmbamatamantrasvideos]

'My only prayerpractise is attention' great! 💎 here is no person left, seperated from God. Attention is being aware of being aware, the greatest offering to God, melting in His Awareness ❤

[@sherryannwilton76]

Thank you Samaneri for sharing this beautiful little poem. Your Lovely voice and the music the words and even the little drawing is really Is sweet and serene and Wonderful. - " I turn my little omelette in the pan for the Love of God" - 'How Glorious!'

[@TommeeKnocker]

I always have vivid dreams, last night I dreamed of Mary, I heared a voice say that she was not pure, but purity itself, and like someone had broke too harshly in a moving car, I was thrown forward in my seat so as to be uncomfortably close to something or someone, something told me to come close, and as I leaned forward I felt a motherly embrace and the world and all its cares fell away. I am not Christian but what else would give birth to man’s connection to god but purity, and where else would we lay down the world but in her motherly embrace.

[@Always-There]

@@TommeeKnocker That’s a lovely experience, thanks for sharing. For me, when a special, connected experience comes along, everything feels closer than close. Oneness. 🙂

[@amanakeet]

Thank you for sharing

[@michaelkhalsa]

Yes, you have touched on the true meaning of purity, which is everything. Purity is the brilliance of our casual light and knowingness behind thought, that which never changes into the field of life and emotion, forever circling unto itself in and as all life and the true joy.

[@heatherberg7499]

My favorite so far. Truly sublime. Thank you.

[@miglriccardi]

I’m something of an atheist, I suppose. But, despite its esoteric opaqueness, I love Christian mysticism and find deep and meaningful expressions in it that map on to my experiences. Samaneri, you’ve illuminated so much for so many people. Bless you.

I was looking up Lillian DeWaters, whose teachings I adore, when i finally just said to myself, look, it is Christian Mysticism. I believe in the spiritual interpretation of the Bible and Christians do not. Dr. Joseph Murphy, Reverend Ike, Neville Goddard- they were Christian mystics. I am excited to learn more about others!!
