Be Here Now
Quotes from the Book
What is meant for you is always meant to find you. —Indian poet-saint Lalleshwari
If you align in any moment with the flow of life as it presents itself, all will unfold in the right way at the right time with a certain spontaneity and ease.
When you knock, ask to see God . . . not any of the self-appointed intermediaries. —Thoreau
Don’t drink at the water’s edge, throw yourself in. Become the water. Only then will your thirst be quenched. —Jeanette Berson
Please show me your Divine Will in this matter and send a clear sign that gives the proper direction. And if for some reason I’m about to head the wrong way, please, please stop me.
Move, but don’t move the way fear makes you move. —Rumi
abundance is something to be, not seek or await.
If you were in your body you’d be home by now. —Berkeley bumper sticker
God only gives us three answers, “Yes, not yet, or no, I love you too much.” —Anonymous
Why worry? What is meant for you is always meant to find you. —Indian poet-saint Lalleshwari
The root of your problems vanishes when you cherish others. —Buddhist teaching
Divine Order says that the perfect solution to any problem is already selected if you allow yourself to be guided;
There is some kiss we want with our whole lives, the touch of Spirit upon the body. —Rumi
The only thing you can change is your own vibration.
Let things happen as they are meant to, in the highest way for all involved.
Eventually the individual ego’s drive to “make things happen” falls away, replaced with a relaxed, trusting openness to answers as they spontaneously arise.
I held a prayer all day: Wherever I can be a force for Love, please guide me. Take me wherever you wish me to go. Let me do your bidding.
Today the Divine will show me the way. I’m open to all messages, signs, and omens. I’ll move as if there’s a Force of Love waiting to aid me in every area of my life, big or small.
Each individual person, place, or thing is just the temporary, transitory form the Divine uses to bring what you need.
Pay attention to how you feel when you’re around someone. And also how you feel when you leave them. Pay attention. Don’t question your response. If you feel bad, simply move away.
Life changes radically if you know you’re a conduit for what wishes to happen as opposed to the one making it all occur.
It’s good to know both your specialness and your utter dispensability. Then you can let go and embrace it all. You can play your role in this exquisite, absurd story with complete abandon. You can be a melting snowflake, a drifting leaf, or a nature spirit dancing in a pond. And if you touch any heart with what you do for the brief moments you are here, that is enough.
Our culture is all about hard work and control but zilch about letting go and following the lead of a higher power.

About Tosha Silver
About the book
A collection of spiritual lessons, anecdotes, and thoughts on the Divine’s intervention in our lives, this brilliantly written and wonderfully entertaining book teaches us how to live purposefully and in line with the Force of Love.
“What if the Divine is constantly igniting roadside flares to get our attention? What if there actually is a Supreme Organizing Principle with an unbridled sense of humor? And what if we each have this ardent inner suitor who’s writing us love letters every day that often go unopened?”
Whether we know it or not, we all experience the touch of the Divine in our lives every single day. After twenty-five years spent consulting and advising tens of thousands of people from all over the world, Tosha Silver realized that almost all of us have similar concerns: “How do I stop worrying? How can I feel safe? Why do I feel so alone?” And often, “Who am I really?”
