A Tribute to Nigel M.

6 days ago | teaandzen.substack.com | Nigel Lott

Nigel was more than a friend. He was a soul companion….a brother on the path, walking beside me through this strange world. Ours was not just a friendship, but a deep recognition. Spirit recognized spirit. For me, there was a quiet light in Nigel. He didn’t try to shine…..he just did, naturally and humbly. He had a way of showing up with presence, of making you feel like you mattered. His kindness was steady, like a stream that never ran dry.

THE GEOMETRY OF RESISTANCE AND SURRENDER

1 week ago | teaandzen.substack.com | Nigel Lott

Current time: 0:00 / Total time: -2:12Audio playback is not supported on your browser. Please upgrade. There is a hidden architecture in the way we live and respond to the world …..a kind of spiritual geometry that shapes our inner landscape. Resistance is angular. It has edges and corners, built of muscle, memory, and fear. It shows up as tension in the jaw, the held breath, the clenched hands. It says, “No, not this,” and erects invisible walls to protect what feels threatened.
TRUE POWER

2 weeks ago | teaandzen.substack.com | Nigel Lott

To reach into another’s life with the intent to extract, control, or cause pain is not an act of power…..it is an expression of quiet despair. It is the grief of a soul that has fallen into forgetfulness, losing its remembrance of the Infinite within, and so reaches outward, grasping for fragments of light in another’s field. Believing itself starved of energy….of love…..it attempts to feed upon what it perceives to be missing.

Negotiating from the Ground of Truth

2 weeks ago | teaandzen.substack.com | Nigel Lott

TAKE HEEDIn every interaction, whether personal or global, the power to negotiate well begins not with the other….but within ourselves. True strength arises from being in full integrity with our own truth, grounded in clarity about who we are and what we stand for. To negotiate from strength is not about dominance or force, but about self-awareness. It means knowing, before entering any dialogue, what we are truly willing to say yes to…..and, just as importantly, what we must say no to.
The Master Alchemist…. Awakening the Sacred Flame.

3 weeks ago | teaandzen.substack.com | Nigel Lott

You are the master alchemist, the unseen force that turns the ordinary into the divine. With the fire of love, you bridge earth and sky, heart and soul, weaving light into the fabric of all things. Through your love, the boundaries of existence and nonexistence dissolve. What was once separate becomes whole. The lost are found. The forgotten is remembered. The profane is made sacred once more.
