GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki

Affirm: (t)His love is changing everything,

feeling It as you say it.

*This Love is changing everything.*

When you're looking at something you don't like,

feel those words inside,  and know that you're looking at the past,

you're looking at an echo,

what you're seeing isn't really there.

So don't react.

Just know that Love has changed everything,

and you'll soon see It,

because God is saying, 'Yes'.

I love you,
Nik

Rock and sway between these two mantras today- 'I am nowhere'. 'I am everywhere'.  They're both true.  The moment you make the felt-connection with Love, you are beyond the body.  You are no longer attached to it.  You're free and that freedom feels like Joy.  You are everywhere, and nowhere.  You are everyone and no one.   You are the invisible,  formless, boundless Love appearing as the  countless visible forms.  And because you know This, because you ARE This, that body smiles.  Love is felt as its very being. 

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"When we know who we are, we're everybody and we're free."  -Krishna Das

"Toss attachment for body aside, realizing I am everywhere. 
One who is everywhere is joyous."
-Osho, The Book of Secrets

(On letting go of attachment)  "You will not ask “how.” If your house is on fire you will not ask anyone, you will not go seeking a master to ask how to come out of it. If the house is on fire you will simply get out of it. You will not lose a single moment. You will not search for the teacher, you will not consult the scriptures. And you will not try to choose in what ways one has to come out, what means have to be adopted, and which door is the right door. These things are irrelevant when the house is on fire. When you know what attachment is, the house is on fire. You can put it aside.  There is no need to ask how. It is absolutely a fire, a hell. You can jump out of it.

This sutra says: 'Toss attachment for body aside, realizing I am everywhere.'  And the moment you toss aside the attachment, you will realize you are everywhere. Because of this attachment you feel you are limited by the body. It is not the body which is limiting you; it is your attachment to it. It is not the body which is making a barrier between you and the reality; it is your attachment to it. Once you know what the attachment is not there, there is no body to you. Rather, the whole existence becomes your body; your body becomes a part of the total existence. Then it is not separate." -Osho. The Book of Secrets (p. 929). Osho International. Kindle Edition.

Feel stuck, but feel Love, too. 

That's what gets you unstuck.

You don't have to surrender the stuckness, 

or love the situation or environment...

You just Love the Love,

and the stuckness gets healed.

The environment changes.

Just Love God--

which means Love Yourself.

You Love the feeling of Love.

You Love that you can hear It,

that you can sense It everywhere.

You don't want that 'thing', 

or that person,

 or that situation,

 you want THIS (LOVE/GOD/TRUTH/REALITY)

You don't need anything but This! 

And then This becomes 'that' (what you thought you wanted),

and because it's the way of the world, 

'that' eventually becomes This again.

And then This becomes something else,

somewhere else, 

someone else, 

But It's always just God.

It's always just You.

You're always only ever meeting YourSelf.

I Love you

I Am you

"Why were the saints, saints? Because they were cheerful when it was difficult to be cheerful and patient when it was difficult to be patient. And because they pushed on when they wanted to stand still, kept silent when they wanted to talk, and were agreeable when they wanted to be disagreeable. That was all. It was quite simple and always will be.' Francis of Assisi lived this life with all his heart." - Meher Baba 

Get quiet so 'you' can hear what You wants 'you' to do today. 

Get still so 'you' can begin to feel what You really are.

Whose you really are.

Where I Am.

Come find Me, here.

I Love You 

I Am You

“Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him." - Mark 12:32

 'La ilaha illa Allah' - Nothing other than God exists. Only God exists. 

"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." - Matthew 6:6

When trouble comes,

turn to that place inside where the Name of God is already sounding.

It's like It calls you,

so you can call It.

"Just take God's Name and all desires will be fulfilled." - Maharajji

"Chanting, chanting the Beloved's Name, I am myself become the Beloved. Whom then does that Name now name?" -Baba Bulleh Shah

"You don't have to sit in one place to do this (the zikr.) You don't have to close your eyes and do this. You don't have to have a special place to do this. While you're walking, while you're sitting, while you're sleeping, while you're eating, while you're drinking, while you're working -That will work automatically. Like how the water ripples and goes on the stream consistently. It doesn't stop; it always keeps on moving." - Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

That problem can't be (t)here, 

because Love is (t)here.

That sickness can't be (t)here,

because Love is (t)here.

That seeming lack can't be (t)here,

 because Love is (t)here.

That's the lesson you're learning.

Every challenge is only meant to draw you closer.

And the bigger the challenge, the bigger the reward,

the bigger the seeming awakening you'll have in that moment,

the bigger your smile will be when you wake up in that moment,

and remember in that worry, or in those tears, or in that pain, 

even if just for a second-- "only Love is here...

that's right, I was trippin' again, 

I was hypnotized again.

BUT GRACE!"

Grace is with you.

Grace is you.

Keep saying thank you.

I Love You

I Am You

"Are you strong enough to stay conscious through the teachings you are receiving?" -Baba Ram Dass

BELIEF in something apart from CONSCIOUSNESS
The nature of error is summed up in one word-hypnotism.
We are all hypnotized into believing that there is a selfhood other than God. The minute you see God "and", you are hypnotized. The moment you see a mortal, material world -you are hypnotized. Now, you can never get un-hypnotized as long as you are judging by appearances, because the thing you are judging with, the human mind is a state of hypnotism. In other words, in looking out from your eyes you are looking out from a state of hypnosis. The only way you can be de-hypnotized is when the five physical senses are quiet, and you are still, inside of you, and then spiritual awareness reveals to you the truth of being.  Remember that you are dealing not with sin and not with disease and not with sinners, but rather with a false appearance produced by the belief of a selfhood apart from God-a universal BELIEF so powerful that it operates as law in our consciousness until we detect it and cast it out, until we know the truth. - Joel Goldsmith

That's how you grow that dream.

It needs to be rooted in Silence,

in Trust,

in Love,

In Me.

"I am not I, I am this one, walking beside me whom I do not see, Whom at times I manage to visit, and at other times I forget."- Juan Ramon Jimenez

"If you ask, "why is this happening? No light may come, but if you ask, "How am I to glorify God now? There will always be an answer." - J I Packer

You're going to be very productive today.

The things that you've been putting off-- it's time to start, 

even if you just take one little step. 

Just one little step, with Love. 

Don't do anything without this Feeling.

Without this Presence.

It's like you're doing nothing at all.

If you want your actions to be powerful,

you have to do them with God,

AS God.

If you must plan today,

if you have to use that mind,

use it with Him.

Use His Mind.

Her mind.

And you do that by feeling Love, while strategizing.

Feeling Love while writing.

Feeling Love while sending that email,

while having that conversation,

while listening right now.

Don't put It off.

There is no later.

There is no before.

There's only now.

What are you right now?

Who are you right now?

And if you said Nothing, Nobody...

that's as true as words can get.

And in being Nothing, Nobody,

you can become everything. (Rumi)

You see that you are everything.

I Love You

I Am You

"May you wake up this morning in "the new life." -Roger Housden 

“Listen,

if you can stand to... 

union with The Friend means not being who you have been,

but being instead a silence,

a place, a view from which language is inside seeing.” - Rumi

"There is no world and no creator

that is neither gross nor subtle.

Neither air nor fire, neither sun nor moon.

There is no earth, no water,

no light, no time, no word,

no body, no action, no virtue, no mantra,

no worship, no rites, no ceremonies.

It is one no wrong Shiva or Shakti,

no pilgrimage, no ceremony.

He has no father, no mother, no guru.

He is alone.

Can you understand?

All is mind.

The mind is constantly dreaming.

I said it is a dream.

And my mind begins to dream of the waking reality.

But I withheld it all Clear.

Better keep it a secret

because you cannot demonstrate it

Do not move the mind."

-Papaji 

This is what It has come to...
this moment,
where you remember what's really happening,
what's really here, who you really are.
Show up as this One, today.
Don't stop being this One.
This One is Anointed.
This One is Blessed.
This One is on the path.
This One won,
It wins.
Watch.

I love you ,
Nik

Today's Quotes: 

"If the beautiful One is not hidden inside you, then what is that Light hidden under your cloak?"
-Rumi

"Listen with your eyes."
- Rumi 

“I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice?”
-C.S. Lewis 

"They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God."
-Zora Neale Hurston 

"I thought vs I am"
-Robert Adams  

"In the stillness of the quiet, if we listen, we can hear the whisper of the heart giving strength to weakness, courage to fear, hope to despair."
-Howard Thurman 

I know you can feel something moving,

something stirring,

something rising in you,

AS you.

I know you've felt it for some time, 

and often it just makes you feel anxious or frustrated.

But that's a misinterpretation of excitement,

of His Joy.

Release the thoughts around timing (there is no time, only alignment),

around what you think it should be.

Say Your Will, not mine.

"Thy will be done,

on earth as it is in Heaven", 

as it already is, 

in this ‘Dimension of Silence'*

Let me see as You see.

Let me hear as You hear.

Let me Love as You Love.

 

I love you

I am you

Mooji video- A few minutes to be light and free- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCDrBbciDvY

"We can't get light by hanging a picture of a lamp on the wall. If we need to see something, we have to turn the real light on. Learning from books and even giving speeches is not enough. To experience the Truth, one has to do sadhana under the guidance of a guru, and discover the real 'I' within." - Amma

A Lot can. 

But please remember that 'A lot' = 'Love'. 

Love can happen today,

IS happening today, 

taking the form of 'that' (which you hope will happen), 

and everything else.

Only Love is here. 

But in the seeming meantime, 

before you KNOW this,

simply affirm: 'Love is here, too.'

And let It happen. 

I Love you

When you don't know what else to do relax. And tell yourself that other portions of yourself do know what to do. And they will take over." - Seth

"When God put a calling on your life, He already factored in your stupidity." Most comforting thing I've heard all day." - @Thebestchristianmemes via IG

Rumi via FB group: "There was a man who sought the wisdom of a great sage, hoping to find a way to escape his suffering. The sage looked at the man and said, 'I will help you, but first, you must do something for me. Take this spoon, fill it with oil, and walk through the town without spilling a drop. "The man thought this task was simple enough and agreed. He took the spoon, filled it with oil, and began to walk through the town. As he carefully balanced the spoon, he couldn't help but focus all his attention on not spilling any oil. "When he returned to the sage, the sage asked, 'Did you see the beautiful flowers in the town square? Did you notice the children playing and the laughter of families?' The man realized he had been so fixated on the spoon that he hadn't noticed anything else. "The sage then said, 'This is the key to dealing with pain. Just as you were so focused on the spoon that you missed the beauty around you, when you are consumed by your suffering, you miss the beauty of life. Pain is like the spoon, and life is like the town. Don't let the pain consume your entire focus. Remember to look around and appreciate the beauty that still exists."

You may not feel 100, but that doesn't matter.

This is beyond all of that.

That body will be happy some days and sad some days.

But God is all days. 

The Son is here. 

It's shining all the time.

That Fire never goes out. 

Breathe out

and breathe in.

Knowing that that's not just air.

That's life,

it's energy.

It's abundance,

it's confidence,

it's clarity.

Every breath you're becoming more your Self.

Every breath is the Truth.

Every breath is His Name. 

Every breath a prayer.

Something has shifted.

You may not be aware of it.

You may not be able to see it,

but you can trust that it is done. 

When you're breathing like this,

aware like this, 

not thinking like this...

That's God.

I love you 

I am you

"Prayer is the master key that unlocks the kingdom of heaven." - Kirpal Singh

"Prayer is the soul's sincere desire uttered or unexpressed. 

 The motion of a hidden fire that trembles in the breast." - Viscount Montgomery 

You're no longer trying to get to where you want to be. 

You're Here.  

And as long as you know you're Here, 

'This' becomes that.

It will appear as that. 

You will appear as that. 

As her, as him, as the one you are destined to be. 

It's law.

It's Love. 

Love is the law.

The only law here in this city.

I Love you

I am you

"'Grieve Not' is the name of my town. 

Pain and fear cannot enter there,

free from possessions, free from life's taxes, 

free from fear of disease and death. 

After much wandering, I am come back home

where turns not the wheel of time and change.

And my Emperor rules, without a second or third, 

in Abadan, filled with Love and Wisdom." - Ravidas 

"Enter into joy" - St. Augustine

"This is the day the Lord hath made. I rejoice in it. The ground on which I stand is holy ground. I am heir and joint heir with Christ. All the heavenly riches. There is one power, one cause, and I am that. Thank you Father. It is done." -Joel goldsmith 

"The rosary that you hold in your hand as you pray is attached to everyone and everything else that is."- The Way of the Rose by Clark Strand and Perdita Finn 

 

God is saying--

It was from Me,

all of it.

So soften,

into this moment,

into that 'good' or 'bad' mood.

And receive the Love that I AM (is) constantly Giving,

Vibrating,

Ringing.

Singing.

Look at Me,

and relax.  

This is radical acceptance.

This is the supreme practice,

the Inducement,

the Great Shift.

The end of suffering.

Today's Quotes:

Excerpts from "This was from Me" - letter from Saint Seraphim of Sarov

"True freedom is living as if you had completely chosen whatever you feel or experience in this moment. This inner alignment with the Now is the end of suffering."
-Eckhart Tolle

"Even in the most difficult times, he who will occupy himself diligently with the Jesus prayer will be able to be saved easily."
- St. Seraphim of Vyritsa

"Be still and know that I am God.  The original Hebrew root of Be still doesn't mean "be quiet", it means "let go." That's very different, don't you think? Let go and know that I am God! Let go of trying to control your spouse! Let go of your worry about your finances! Let go of your unforgiveness! Let go of your past!  Let go of what you can't control-and rest in the knowledge that God is in control!"
- @therealsweetspot via IG

If everything in your life seems to be changing, let it.
It's raining because you've gotta grow.
Dear God, help me accept that the past can never be different.

Every time thoughts come as to how it's going to happen,

when it's going to happen,

close that body's eyes...

fold its hands in front of it,

and go back down into that bowing,

back into that Humbleness.  

Bow back into God,

back into your Shelter,

like you're ducking under the doorframe back inside where it's quiet,

where there is no world, nothing to solve, nothing to fix, nothing to think about. 

That's the point.  

Not good humanhood, not bad humanhood, Christhood.  

Make that your mantra for a week,  

and when you're saying it,

you're unseeing good people,

you're unseeing bad people, 

you're unseeing you, the 'people' you think you are,

you're unseeing all the people,

all the world.

Only Christhood is here,

which means only this Loving Awareness is here,

and you feel that Loving Awareness, 

you be that Loving Awareness,

Only, 

Formless, 

Silent,  

and that heals,  

that feeds,  

that pays,  

that's love,  

that's all.

I love you

I am you

"To completely trust in God is to be like a child who knows deeply that even if he does not call for the mother, the mother is totally aware of his condition and is looking after him." - Imam Ghazali

"To get what you love, you must first be patient with what you hate." -Sufi Saying

"When there were no strings to play you played to me

When there was no ear to hear you sang to me " - The Grateful Dead

"Quiet' doesn't mean that a person should sit like a statue. Peace means that there should be no concept or thought in mind. If thought arises in the mind, time will also arise. When the thought that produces time vanishes time also ceases to exist. Then there is true peace. Anyone can try this. Keep quiet for a single instant. Don't allow the mind to stir. For a single moment be without any thought of the past. In that moment you will see that there is no thought, no time, no world. This is what I mean by peace. In that instant everything will be peaceful. If you keep quiet you will see that the whole world is quiet. This world does not exist at all If you sit quietly for a single second you will bring peace to the world because in that moment there is no world. Then do it for the next second, and the next. This the way to bring about peace, but you have to do it yourself and see." - HWL Poonja  / Papaji

"In the state of silence, a person does not shun out the ability to comprehend sound, instead he is trying to enhance his ability to hear the sounds, assimilate them discern them, analyze them and then synthesis them into a perfect whole of wisdom. Thus the observer of silence is trying to develop an ability whereby a specific sound can be heard. This is the vibrating sound of the Universe, which is called the sound of our inner soul. That sound of eternal vibration is 'OM' in our ancient scriptures." -Bhakti Ma 

 

The "Always-So"

the Always-GoOD

the Always (t)Here

the Always With You

the Always Now

Less silence-filling today,

Where was God 10 minutes ago?

Where was God yesterday?

Last year?

Right now?

Where will God be next week?

The Felt-Answer to these questions solves every problem,

because the problems were born when you stopped feeling the Answer.

Keep relaxing into the Answer, into what's He's giving you,

and expect miracles.

I Love you,

If tears have been flowing more than usual lately,

then know that you're closer than usual,

closer than you used to be ,

closer to your breakthrough.

Those tears that fall are watering your harvest,

"In prayer, I do not go to God to have certain things brought about for tomorrow or for Thanksgiving or for Christmas. I don't do that, I go to God in this way. 'Today, tomorrow and all time to come, God, I belong to Thee. Map out my days.'  And then, I sit in complete silence, in complete quietness, as if I really and truly had a telephone receiver at my ear and were trying to hear somebody at the other end. It isn't so much that I expect to hear a voice, although I sometimes do."
-Joel S Goldsmith

"Only those who understand that God is their own consciousness and that from this individual, yet infinite, consciousness flow all things can really know the true sense of gratitude. The only real gratitude is that which is felt for the gift of spiritual discernment."
-Joel S Goldsmith

"Dan Rather, CBS anchor, once asked Mother Teresa what she said during her prayers. She answered, "I listen." So Dan turned the question and asked, "Well then, what does God say?"  Mother Teresa smiled with confidence and answered, "He listens." For an instant, Dan didn't know what to say. "And if you don't understand that," Mother Teresa added, "I can't explain it to you."

"You could go all through the balance of your career without a treatment, without a lesson, without reading a book, and find greater harmony, greater peace, greater health,  than you have ever known, just with the simple realization of, 'Thank you, Father, I Am.  I Am'. Not will be and not shall be, but I Am.  Not ought to be and not deserve to be. Just, "Thank you, Father, I am!

What GoOD thing happened to you today, so far? 

Your mind may say, "well I woke up this morning."

It may say,  "My family all woke up this morning."

It may say,  "It's too early. Nothing has happened yet."

It may say nothing at all.  

Notice what happens when you pose a question to the mind,

how maybe it throws out a few answers,

 but it quickly exhausts itself and you're left as Silence.

That's the magic of questions.

You can use questions to go beyond the mind,

to go beyond yourself,  

to where goodness is,

Godness is. 

Use affirmations to go beyond affirmations.*

I love you

I am you

"Imagine how differently you might approach each day by simply stating: God is good. God is good to me. God is good at being God. And today is yet another page in our great love story. Nothing that happens to you today will change that or even alter it in the slightest way. Lift your hands, heart, and soul, and receive that truth as you pray this prayer: My whole life I've searched for a love to satisfy the deepest longings within me to be known, treasured, and wholly accepted. When You created me, Lord, Your very first thought of me made Your heart explode with a love that set You in pursuit of me. Your love for me was so great that You, the God of the whole universe, went on a personal quest to woo me, adore me, and finally grab hold of me with the whisper, " will never let you go." Lord, I release my grip on all the things I was holding on to, preventing me from returning Your passionate embrace. I want nothing to hold me but You. So, with breathless wonder, I give You all my faith, all my hope, and all my love. I picture myself carrying the old, torn-out boards that inadequately propped me up and placing them in a pile. This pile contains other things I can remove from me now that my new intimacy-based identity is established. Hay down my need to understand why things happen the way they do. I lay down my fears about others walking away and taking their love with them. I lay down my desire to prove my worth. | lay down my resistance to fully trust Your thoughts, Your ways, and Your plans, Lord. I lay down being so self-consumed in an attempt to protect myself. I lay down my anger, unforgiveness, and stubborn ways that beg me to build walls when I sense hints of rejection. I lay all these things down with my broken boards and ask that Your holy fire consume them until they become weightless ashes. And as I walk away, my soul feels safe. Held. And truly free to finally be me." via @lysaterkeurst via 'Uninvited" 

"The Miracle is held in trust until you are ready" - Marianne Williamson 

In order to develop a habit of thankfulness, 

a habit of 'giving thanks before It's done',

you have to trust that It is given.  

And although we usually show trust by being silent (Silence is Trust),

sometimes we need a little more, a little practice,  a Litany of Trust. 

Although this one is addressed to Jesus,

you can change The Name to the one that feels most at home,

most true for you.

When I say Jesus,

I'm talking about the Christ that is speaking through,

working through,

healing through,

loving through the Man, the body, Jesus. 

The Divinity that is also working in you, AS you. 

We're feeling That,

and we're trusting That,

and eventually thanking That,

unconditionally and truthfully. 

Not thanking It so that It may do something, 

perform something,

give us something in exchange for this act of thankfulness,

but a genuine gratitude. 

Finally, we are really thankful. 

We are really trusting. 

We are really miraculous. 

I Love you

I Am you

You're about to see what was meant for you.

What was marked for you.

The Light before the light. 

No fighting.

No struggling.

No waiting.

It's already yours. 

Sit up like It Is. 

Breathe like It Is. 

Smile like It Is.

Feel 'It Is',

know 'It Is',

and when thoughts come and tell you 'It's not',

whisper, "It Is".

It's one of His Names,

Your Real Name, 

Is. 

Silence.

Excerpts from Gospel of Truth 

"'I-am-Brahman' is only a thought.

Who says it?

Brahman itself does not say so.

What need is there for Brahman to say it?

Nor, can the real '' say so.

For, ' always abides as Brahman.

To be saying it is only a thought.

Whose thought is it?

All thoughts are from the unreal '', i.e., the '-thought.

Remain without thinking."

- Ramana Maharshi

 

There's a Silence you can hear that has always been,

even when you're thinking, seemingly, 

even when I'm speaking, seemingly,

(t)here's a Silence that can't be touched,

interrupted, 

broken. 

And as you're hearing It,

you can't be either.

You can't be shaken.

You won't be moved.

God is within you,

you will not fall.*

This is promised.

Then Jesus greeted them saying, "Peace be with you all. Take my peace into your Selves; be watchful so nobody leads you astray claiming 'Look there, look here for the son of man.' I tell you that the son of man is within you all! Seek him inside; those who search diligently and earnestly shall surely find him. Then leave and preach the truth of the Kingdom to those with ears to hear; don't invent rules beyond those I've given. Don't make laws like law-makers do or else you'll be held back." After he had said this he left." -Gospel of Mary Magdelene 

 

"I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full." (vv. 5-11)

 

Place both hands over that fearful heart and ask it,

"why fear when I Am (is) here?"

and feel the shoulders relax back down. 

The face softens. 

The silence deafens. 

Seas part. 

Mountains move. 

Problems are not. 

God is.

I Am. 

"I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me.  I am the Lord, and there is no other." - Isaiah 45 : 5-6

"You are not the mind 

so where is the problem of the mind?

Leave the darkness where it is and just light your lamp.

O mad one! Surrender is a leap outside thought.

Love. God is far off because we don't know how to see him close by.

Actually there is nothing closer than him.

More than that - he is the here and now.

The name God is just for those who can't find the here and now.

Words, names, doctrines, scriptures, religion, philosophy. all these are created for those who can see him only at a distance.

Hence they have no connection with godliness, but only with those who are blind to the near.

That's why I say: Drop the distant. Drop paradises in the sky. Drop hopes in the future, and see the near in time and in space. Be here and now and see.

See the instant in time,

see the atom in space.

In the time-moment, time ceases to exist.

In the space-atom, space ceases to exist.

There is no space, no time, here and now.

What is left is truth, is God, is that.

You too are that.

Tattvamasi Shvetketu - thou art that, Shvetketu!" - Osho

"Why fear when I am here?

I am formless and everywhere.

I am in everything and beyond.

I fill all space.

All that you see taken together is my Self.

I do not shake or move.

If one rests in me,

need fear nothing for body and soul.

When you see with your inner eye, then you realize

that you are God and not different from Him.

Get on with your worldly activities cheerfully, but do not forget the Divine.

Whatever you do, wherever you may be, always bear this in mind:

I am always aware of you. - Shirdi Sai Baba

"Can't give someone a blessing they're not ready for, even if that blessing is you."- @diorkenn

"The Bible tells me over and over again to praise the Lord, never mind what's happening." -Elisabeth Elliot

 

Every time you become aware of a worry thought about tomorrow or next week, pause and pray.

Pause by listening for Silence instead of to the worry thought.  Remember that you're not thinking that worry thought.  That thought isn't yours.  You're simply listening to it... and you can choose to believe it or not.  You can choose to claim it or not.  You can choose to listen to Silence instead!

And you pray by recognizing and feeling Go(o)d in the Silence.  You pray by repeating (hearing or becoming aware of) the above mantra, the truth that it isn't you that must face these problems, but God in you.  You pray by remembering that God in you has no problems, knows no problems, sees no problems. You pray by reaching and feeling for even 2% of the Love that is fully present in and AS that moment and by watching your experience of the moment and the seeming moment itself, shift.

The awareness to pause and pray is the miracle, and it manifests as such.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"Sometimes God challenges you
to find strength you don’t have.
Only like this will you go beyond
your imagined limits.
You must be pushed so far
that you are forced to be humble.
Only then, when your pride
and arrogance are crushed,
will you discover muscles that are not yours.
You will find and use the muscles of God.
When you completely abandon yourself, your ego,
this miracle becomes possible."
-Mooji

"Repeat this under your breath:
It is no longer ________ (your name) who lives, but Christ who lives in  _________ (your name) who is going to boldly face and conquer any kind of problems."

And it doesn't matter how long you're in 'alignment',

but how often you return Here.

How frequently you find yourself not wanting,

not seeking,

but settled,

in Silence,

in Stillness,

In God.

Not settling in life,

not being 'content' with the way things are,

but seeing through the way things are.

Being contentment Itself.

Aligning and settling your sight,

your ear,

on what's actually Here.

Now.

And Now.

-Abraham Hicks

"Was Jesus the son of God? Yes. But so are you, you just haven't realized it yet."
-Eckhart Tolle

"Settle yourself in solitude and you will come upon God in yourself."

"Can you go a week without wanting?"
-@JiteshVaswani via IG

"To have finally dealt  with suffering is to consume it into yourself. Which means you have to, with eyes open, be able to keep your heart open in hell... And what it involves is bearing the unbearable. And who you really are can do it. So that who you think you are has to die in the process."
-Ram Dass

“Many misunderstandings and false beliefs about Christ will clear if you realize that there is no past or future in Christ. To say that Christ was or will be is a contradiction in terms. Jesus was. He was a man who lived two thousand years ago and realized divine presence, his true nature. And so he said: “Before Abraham was, I am.” He did not say: “I already existed before Abraham was born.” That would have meant that he was still within the dimension of time and form identity. The words I am used in a sentence that starts in the past tense indicate a radical shift, a discontinuity in the temporal dimension. It is a Zen-like statement of great profundity. Jesus attempted to convey directly, not through discursive thought, the meaning of presence, of self-realization. He had gone beyond the consciousness dimension governed by time, into the realm of the timeless. The dimension of eternity had come into this world. Eternity, of course, does not mean endless time, but no time. Thus, the man Jesus became Christ, a vehicle for pure consciousness. And what is God’s self-definition in the Bible? Did God say, “I have always been, and I always will be?” Of course not. That would have given reality to past and future. God said: “I AM THAT I AM.” No time here, just presence.”

Nikki sits down with spiritual teacher, Moojibaba, to share her journey through Atma Vichara/self-inquiry and Love. He then walks her (which means you!) through  The Invitation, a series of simple questions meant to immediately dissolve the one seeking answers, seeking more, seeking 'next'. He says, "I feel that all beings are destined to wake up, to find God", and that, "in everyone, the Perfect Self is there, already. It cannot be improved upon. It needs only be discovered." And in this episode, you'll do just that, abiding as That, eternally. 

 

 

 

It's Dawn now. 

The Sun is here, now. 

Can you feel It in your Heart?

Try to hear It in your Heart.

Your Heart is everywhere,

but right now just try to hear It in that place where your human heart appears to be.

Try to feel It in that place where that human body appears to be.

Try to feel It over here where I appear to be,

where these words appear to be coming from. 

That same Love,

you can feel It here.

You're not throwing It over here,

It's already here, and you're tuning into It. 

You can tune into It where your spouse appears to be,

where your boss appears to be,

where your child appears to be,

where your pet appears to be,

where that problem appears to be,

feeling your Self there,

feeling your Self here,

not as, 'I am here',

or 'I am love',

just Love,

just Hereness,

just Nowness,

 just Life.

“God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.” – Psalms 46:5

"To know that one has been functioning in the dream is the beginning of the awakening. To refrain from seeking the help of God is to be functioning in Reality. No longer to reach out to God; no longer to seck God's help, is to be awaking out of the 'dream' into Reality. Whenever there is a sense of 'Deeding God, one is functioning in the "dream." Not that one lives without God, but, rather, finds his life to be eternally in God'." - Joel Goldsmith, The Infinite Way

"Seth: "If you want to relax and you are tense, it is often simpler to... tell yourself... to imagine a peaceful scene, in which case you will relax without ordering your muscles to do so. You react to images as well as to words."- The Personal Sessions Book 4 Sess. 815, DECEMBER 1I. 1977

I haven't heard the track yet,

but I'm hearing it,

the Essence of it right now. 

And you are too,

you're feeling the place that flute comes out of,

that Feeling blossoms out of,

your dreams come from Here.

Just like his long-awaited album of his came from Here.

That long-awaited goal of yours, 

that goal God planted in you, will come from Here.

These words I share come from here.

We share This Place,

 but we're often too busy for This Place. 

So right now let's relax into This Place. 

Breathe into This Place, breathe into (y)our Heart. 

Exhale that breath down into (y)our Heart. 

Exhale that Joy down into (y)our Heart. 

Where the rest of the Joy already is. 

Do you feel that?

It makes this body sway,

even though if there were any other bodies here they'd say,

'there's no music playing.

Why is she rocking?

What is she hearing?"

I'm hearing what you're hearing,

but I'm paying attention to It,

I'm loving It, 

as It loves me, 

as I love you.

there is no world, there are no words, there is no nikki-

then words come.

you have it.

"There is a secret known to the few which eventually must be known and understood and practiced by all. Peace can be established on earth by one, but more swiftly by two or more, and very quickly by "ten" righteous men. This you may prove first in your family, business, professional, and community life. Once you have succeeded, it will not be necessary to ask you to encompass the universe because vou will no longer have the power to refrain from doing so.Set aside one meditation period each day-and a few minutes each time will be sufficient-to sit in meditation with the inner ear opened. That is all: no praying, no asking, no seeking, especially no desires to be fulfilled. Just meditate with the inner ear open, and then go about your business. Give a specific period to this each day, and do not let yourself watch for results. In due time, fruitage will appear in some form or harmony within yourself, your home, your family, or your business, art or profession. As fruitage appears, raise your consciousness to take in the weather, elections, national and international relationships. Remember that none of these subjects enters your thought while in meditation. You may not even think of peace on earth. Just be still. Listen with the invisible ear for the inaudible Word. You are thus ushering in the kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven." - Realization of Oneness Chapter 8, Joel Goldsmith

"When you know that you are meditating it is not meditation." - H.W.L. Poonja

 

He gave you that goal, 

that desire,

to be better,

to do better, 

but it wasn't a goal, 

it wasn't a desire, 

that is how you misinterpreted The Promise. 

That's how you understood His Word then,

but now you know, 

now you relax, 

that body's shoulders down and back into His Word, 

into The Truth that you're already That.

"God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth."-Jesus (John 4:24)

"God has said, "I have created Man as the most exalted creation, as My wealth. made him clear. I gave him seven lights by which to see Me. I gave him seven faculties by which to know Me, to touch Me, to discover Me, and to understand Me: perception awareness, intellect, assessment, wisdom, discerning wisdom, and the Divine Luminous Wisdom that is Nur, Light and completion. These are th levels of wisdom I have given him. If he uses them, he will see Me. He is my secret and I am his secret. He has to know Me through them." -M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, The Choice, p. 172

"The temple bell stops-but the sound keeps coming out of the flowers." -Matsuo Bashö

Spend your whole day in Love.

The same way you feel when you're in human love,

 but all of that directed at God.

There's no ghosting here,

no flexing here,

no hurt feelings here,

not even conversation, here--

like when you're with someone real special,

and you can just sit with them in the silence,

and it doesn't feel awkward,

there's no struggle to think of something to say to fill the space,

'cause the space is so full, 

Love is so full.

This is how you sit with God, 

AS God. 

Hey, God. 👋🏾❤️

"As you continue make your plans, what used to take years will now take weeks. What used to take days will now take seconds. The hour of rapid acceleration is already here, and all this is a sign of the times and the day in which you are living. (4)

For those with wisdom, those who will discern and respond according to the season, you will walk in so much abundance as you cooperate with me in all I am doing on the Earth. You will quickly overcome previous limits and will advance to new heights, heights you have not even conceived yet, for these are my plans for you, for those who will hear my voice, but also take action in response to my call. (5)" - Neil Vermillion

"Look for and search for God within yourself, within your own body. God resides inside - look for him there." -Maharishi Mehi

"We don't need wine to get drunk, or instruments and singing to feel ecstatic. No poets, no leaders, no songs, yet we jump around totally wild." -Jalaluddin Rumi

"This is the supreme meditation, this is the supreme worship? The continuous and unbroken awareness of the indwelling presence, inner light, or consciousness. While doing whatever one is doing - seeing, hearing, touching. sealing, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing or talking - one should realize one's essential nature as pure consciousness. Thus does one attain liberation." -The Yoga Vasistha 

Nikki sits down with Vanamali Mataji of Rishikesh, India, while she is touring Europe. The scribe of nearly 20 books about God (from Sri Krishna to Hanuman to Shiva), Mataji starts with a powerful mantra and decree before sharing about the relationship between the apparent form and Formlessness, between Divine Ecstasy and quiet-Joy, and on living beyond time and storylines. She recommends practicing Yoga asanas daily to appear as she does- absolutely Radiant. 

"You can't live in a state of ecstasy all the time because the world will pull you down. But, even though it may not be ecstatic, it's still so filled with joy, not happiness, but joy. Because everything you see is a form of Its Form, or Its Voice. The birdsong, the sunrise, the moonrise, everything is part of that enormous and amazing power that energizes the whole cosmos. Every bit. So you can't go anywhere. Can you ever run away from yourself? There is no place you can run to. So that it is everywhere. The ecstatic moments may not be always there. As I said, the world will pull you down. But that joy is always there. Underlying joy is always there. That's why people love to live, even if you're in the throes of the worst type of disease, say, you still, the longing to live is still there because of that drop of Bliss which is always present in the whole."- Vanamali Mataji 

 

 

And once you find This, 

you'll never 'wait' again. 

"I" will make everything alright. 

I Love You 

I Am You

"You know the Hebrew word for wait? It actually means to be intertwined. It's like a three-legged race. You tie up with your partner, and you tie your legs together, and then you have to get in sync with one another, that's what waiting is in Hebrew. You get in sync with God and He ties up with you. You feel when He pauses and you pause. You feel when He runs and you run. And it's those who intertwine who wait to tie their life up with God's they renew their strength. - Bob Grimm

"But those who wait on the Lord  will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles;  they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." - Isiah 40:31

"The things that change are not our real life. Within us there is another body, another beauty. It belongs to that Ray of Light which never changes. We must discover how to mingle with it and become one with that unchanging thing. We must realize and understand this treasure of truth. That is why we have come to the world."- M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen from his book Questions of Life, Answers of Wisdom Vol. 1

You're re-membering. 

The Name.

Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath, writing about meeting Sri Anandamayi Ma:

"She smiled and called me indoors, saying I was a stubborn child, and so I was. Before I sat, I proceeded to touch her feet, which normally she does not permit, but as I touched her feet, I was shocked to find my hands go through her bones and flesh to touch the floor. My body was electrified at that. I remembered that an Avatara is an illusion of light in the illusion of the world. It can at will, to increase a person's faith, make one experience his or her body of light. No flesh, no shadow, no karma... An Avataric Being is karma-less, when it does work in maya, it leaves no samskaras. It's like writing on water. When the un-liberated student does his daily chores or work, he creates karma. It's like writing on the sand. Uplifted and wonder-struck by this experience, I settled in a trance-like state and saw her radiance flooding the whole ashram and countryside. As my body elongated, my Consciousness left it to expand and merge in her wondrous aura. I was blessed, and when I opened my eyes, the surroundings were still radiant with Her Presence.

"One face alone do I see. One melody alone do I hear." - Vanamali Mata

"Chanting the Holy Name of the Supreme Lord Hari heals all diseases, ends all troubles and subdues all disasters (Vishnu Purana). Just as the mighty wind scatters the clouds, and the rising sun certainly dissipates the darkness - similarly the Holy Name of the Lord drives away the calamities that torment the living beings on the strength of its potency. These are the words of Vyasadeva." - HareKrishnaGlories

I have set a table for you in the presence of the illusion, 

and I will eat with you,

just as I am speaking with you,

and you will know now, 

that I alone exist. 

that (t)here is no 'two'. 

Only Love is here.

Only Love is. 

Love, 

breathe.

SMILE.

It's done.

*Hebrews 13:5

**Psalm 23:5

You don't release an emotion by letting it go. You release an emotion by letting it in. Letting go is a paradoxical concept. It does not ask of us to stop feeling, but to feel more deeply. Non-attachment is not indifference, it is the art of making our grief holy. It is in the alchemical ashes from within the furnace of terrifyingly beautiful surrender, that we rise as the phoenix. Not by becoming immune to pain, but by breathing into its embers, and calling forth its light." -Scott Feinberg via @contemplativereflections

"Give up all and you gain all. Then life becomes what it was meant to be; pure radiation from an inexhaustible source. In that light, the world appears dimly like a dream....

My intention is to wake you up... My heart wants you awake. I see you suffer in your dream, and I know that you must wake up to end your woes. When you see your dream as a dream, you wake up. "- Nisargadatta Maharaj via @alexbecomingnobody

"An illusion isn't something that doesn't exist. An illusion is something appearing as something other than it is." - Keith Kavanaugh 

"Do not dwell on even your reality for too long, for your reality is also an illusion. The only reality is Me." - Maharajji

"Where am I? Where is the world? ..... This is my house. I am not here. My Guru has taken me away." - Shirdi Sai Baba 

Affirm: 'I Am Castled In God's Presence'

And in the beginning, It will feel like a fortress,

like you're protected.

But as you progress,

you'll realize-

there's

No thing

here.

No one that needs protecting.

Nothing to be protected from.

No fortress.

Just Love.

And the mind stops.

And this Love is heard.

I Love you,

Nik

Today's Quotes:

"For how many more days can you live by external light, like that of sun and moon?
When your eyes fail, when your body becomes feeble with age and your intellect clouded, you will be left to grope in utter darkness. Set to work while there is yet time and try to kindle the inner light.  In the hearth of the mind, ignite the fire of Self-inquiry or the fire of God's Name; fan it into a blazing flame by associating with the Holy and Wise, by prayer and meditation.  Little by little, this light will grow bright and steady and illumine you both inwardly and outwardly; thereby the path to Self-realization will be made easy."
-Anandamayi Ma

"At all times keep your mind immersed in the thought of God, so that there may be no possibility of straying into a path that leads to misery."
-Anandamayi Ma

"Another level of you will begin to be born, a level of you which faces the apparently solid world around you. You'll find your Soul replacing your mind. You'll find the senses bump into your Soul instead of your mind which acquiesces and your Soul says, "uh-uh, no, no." And this birth of Soul awareness, as you practice this, is really the end product of what you're doing."
-Herb Fitch, 40 Days in the Wilderness Audio 1 (Orlando, 1984)

"Never accept the limitations of your environment. Remain inwardly ensconced in the castle of God's presence. There is no other haven of safety....In fearlessness affirm: "I am castled in God's presence. No harm can reach me, for in every situation of life - physical, mental, financial, spiritual - I am protected in the fortress of God's presence."
-Paramahansa Yogananda

"When you do Sadhana, all the lines on the hand changes."
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

"Stop your mind so you can hear your Soul."
-Sant Dattatreya Kali Baba 

"Let freedom ring..."
-Dr. Martin Luther King jr.

"So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
-John 8: 31-32

to know by felt-Faith,

'No wall, here.

Only God, Here.'

"If your mind is active in the service of God then that's as good as it not being active."- Rupert Spira.

Nikki sits down with spiritual leader and philosopher (and one of her living teachers) Rupert Spira, to discuss the role of devotion and prayer on the non-dual path. He speaks about the difference between the knowledge, 'I Am' and the experience, 'I Am,' and the highest Truth that there is only God's Presence shining in us, as our experience as our Self. He then leads a deep meditation into the 'I Am,' reminding us, "All that is necessary is to sound the Divine Name, I Am, once, silently, within oneself." If you've been trying to access the Love beyond the mind, this is an episode that you should listen to twice. Each word is Presence. His words flow from The Word. And the Word is Grace. 

"Breath is one of the most transparent, the most silent experiences there is.  But our Beingness is even more silent, even more transparent, even more empty than the breath."

"The shining of God's Presence in us as us is not really the shining of God's Presence in us because there is no 'us' apart from God's Presence in whom God's Presence might shine.  There is only God's Presence shining in us as our experience as our Self."

"The ultimate form of prayer is the awareness of being. It's the highest prayer, the ultimate devotion in which there is no person left,  just God's infinite being aware of itself."

"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death— even death on a cross!" - Philippians 2:5-8

Rupert Spira's, 'The Heart of Prayer' on Amazon

 

This special hearing comes with seeming time, with more seeming practice.  My Song is here for you to hear now, behind the breath, behind the beating of your heart, behind the thoughts. You don't have to wrestle them. You don't have to stop them. When you hear Me, they stop.  You stop worrying.  You stop.  I start.    I Love you I Am you nik

  On the Varying States the Perfect (Initiated) have to go through... The seventh is that of hearing the sanctifications of the seraphs [angels], which cannot be embodied in spoken words but are defined in intellectual sounds?* - Bar Hebraeus, Book of the Dove: * Not audible sounds but subtle sounds heard within.

"Wherever you are, you are being taken care of. Whatever you are doing, you are being taken care of. You don't even have to ask for a blessing. I have given blank cheques for blessings. Use them for whatever you want!"- Sri Sri Ravishankar

"God is inside you. You are that. God is deeper than your breath Your breath is also on the surface. You go beyond that breath there is God. You are that." - Sri Sri Ravishankar

  "From the fear that trusting You will leave me more destitute, deliver me, Jesus." - Day 4, St. Faustina Maria Pia, S.V. 'Jesus I Trust in You: A 30-Day Personal Retreat with the Litany of Trust'   "Praise, O servants of the LORD, praise the name of the LORD. Let the name of the LORD be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the LORD is to be praised. The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens." -Psalm 113 :: NIV   "Indeed, something so simple as a repetition of the fundamental petition of the Our Father prayer does, in these days in which God has deigned to give the Gift, constitute a request for the Gift. Let this prayer, then, be your Mantra: "Jesus, I Trust in You. Thy Will be Done."

"We must say "no" to such thoughts constantly invading our minds and hearts. Instead of letting these thoughts invade our minds we must, rather, implement practical ways of ensuring that we are constantly in a state of recollection, peace, and prayer. Keeping good company is a first and obvious step. Turning off the worldly vanity is essential as well. In all things, say "Jesus, I trust in You. Thy Will be Done." -The Crown of Sanctity: On the Revelations of Jesus to Luisa Piccarreta- Two Thousand Years Later, The Greatest Prayer Will Not Go Unanswered' Daniel O'Connor

You will love Me as I love you,

with the Love that I Love you with,

and you'll let It be enough.

And I'll show you that It's more than enough,

that you're more than blessed,

that you've always been more than worthy.

Something big is coming your way.

I've been preparing you, 

and it feels like it's been slow going. 

I know you've been frustrated,

and I know you're tired, 

but It's here, 

and It's good...

It's Me. 

I Love you

I Am you

"When I knew there was no it, then it appeared." -Joel Goldsmith 

"While we are alive, when we are born, and when we die there are no separations. Here and there we are joined together in the same place. We eat in the same place, we live in the same place, we disappear in the same place, we die in the same place, and we again join together and live with our Father in the same place." God's Psychology: A Sufi Explanation, pg. 185 (Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen)

This world is a school, and we came here to learn His story by studying His actions, His justice, and His ways. We have to study each thing we see, and as we learn from these examples we will exclaim, "My God!" Our faith will become strong, and from that faith will come the firm conviction that He is there, existing as a great Power. In everything we see, in every bit of His artistry, even in the grass and the weeds, we can begin to understand His Power. Each thing tells a part of the story of God. He sent us here saying, "Go, and understand all of My creations. If you understand the stories that they contain, you will understand Me and accept Me." Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen Questions of Life-Answers of Wisdom, Volume One, p. 170

"Not till your thoughts cease all their branching here and there, not till you abandon all thoughts of seeking something, not till you mind is motionless as wood or stone, will you be on the right road to the gate." - Huang Po 

You'll still do the things. 

You'll still pay the bills. 

But It's Love paying Love. 

As long as you have Love,

you'll have Love to pay, 

Love to give,

Love to share. 

When you forget It, It looks like money you don't have,

like relationships you don't have.

like problems you do have.

If you ARE Love,

you have everything. 

And you must rest on that. 

Trust in this. 

"The more a soul trusts, the more it receives."*

The quieter you become inside,

letting that tidal wave of silence hit you,

wash through you,

the more you will receive--

the more comes in on that wave,

the more treasures come in on that wave,

get washed up from the bottom of that sea. 

I Love You

I Am You

"The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive." - Jesus to St. Faustina (Diaries) 

"The highest meditation is to think of nothing. If you can remain one moment without thought, great power will Come." - Swami Vivekananda

"The best meditation is that which continues in all the three states. It must be so intense as not to give room even to the thought "I am meditating". As waking and dream states will thus be fully occupied by it, deep sleep may also be deemed to be an undifferentiated dhyana." - Ramana Maharshi 

"Until you know Truth you can't quiet the mind. That is the anesthetic for the mind, Truth. And so that is the area that must be strengthened for an individual who finds that I still cannot be still. You do not know the Truth yet. You do not even know the letter of Truth at this point, because with the letter of Truth in consciousness, that provides the peace that in turn opens the way for the inspiration." - Herb Fitch. Infinite Way Book Study 1969

You feel different because you are different. 

It's hard for you to do the things that other people do,

the routines that other people have,

because you're not other people. 

You're not a people.

So stop trying to be a people.

Stop trying to fit in.

Stop trying to keep up.

You live this Christhood,

and you be your own,

you be His own, 

and you'll lift everyone with you. 

You'll bring everyone with you,

but you're not focusing on them-- that's just the side effect. 

You just chant and mind your business. 

You feel love where you see yourself,

 where you see others,

 and you mind your business.

You see your business, and you feel Love,

 that's how you mind your business. 

And the right actions happen,

but really nothing is happening.

And as long as you remember nothing is happening, 

even while you are in action, 

you won. 

I Love You

I Am You

"Stop identifying with the world created by your mind, and a new world will open up for you."- Amma

There's not a day that goes by that I don't say, "end game, cancel game, exit game"" -@farmerbill88 via IG

"That Gurmukh unto whom the Lord becomes merciful, chants the Lord's Name, and wins the game of life." -Guru Ram Das Ji

Herb Fitch, The Infinite Way Book Study on Kindle --

"You can't be a Republican and a Democrat at the same time. You can't be man and woman at the same time. You cannot be here and there at the same time. Because Christ is your Reality every moment spent in another identity is a life in unreality. Every moment not in Christ, not as The Conscious Christ realized is a moment that has no real exist-ence. And if there happens to be fifty years of such moments then it is fifty years of unreal existence. Again, where do you go to live in your Christhood? You don't. You shed the belief that you are something else. You start with you. You cannot behold Christ in anyone until you have started with you. You have Infinity to give and if you are withholding that Infinity from your experience, you cannot find it even for yourself. Now, if we were to make a full-time commitment to our own Christhood, it would run something like this: Your telephone rings, and you say, Hello this is Will or this is Frank, or this is Dorothy, and then the other person identifies himself and you have a little conversation. Now, at that moment you have been caught unprepared, and you have not witnessed The Christ of the one on the other side of the phone. They have caught you unprepared and they have caught you in a human consciousness. You are not living in Reality at that moment. Whatever you say to the one on the other side of that line, whatever they say to you, is valueless in the true creation. It is something that will pass, it is not Christ centered. And so one of the major lessons and the most difficult to learn is to be alert to Christ. So that, you are always in the Consciousness that where you are the Light of Christ Is, and that is all that is there. And further, that the Light of Christ is everywhere, Now. So that the first phone that rings in your house, when you pick up that phone to respond you must consciously know The Christ is always here and The Christ is all that is there. When you are willing to make this preparation, this alertness, then you are beginning your full-time commitment to Christ and you are really taking the Two Commandments seriously. You will find that the moment someone on the other end of the line says something you don't like, if you are in this conscious awareness, that only the Light of Christ can be present, something in you will recognize the Life on the other side of that line and literally give Life to that individual. You only give what is there. And then your full-time commitment in Christ as the recognition of The Christ of all those you encounter, whether visibly or on the phone or wherever or however, even writing a letter, becomes an experience in Christhood. And what comes back to you is your own commitment to Christ. As you give the life of Christ to all those in your relationships they give it right back to you." - Herb Fitch, The Infinite Way Book Study on Kindle

“These words are for the sake of those who need words to understand. But as for those who understand without words, what use have they for speech? The heavens and earth are words to them, sent forth themselves from the Word of God. Whoever hears a whisper, what need have they for shouting and screaming?” - Rumi

"SURRENDER

may we run into waters unknown and valleys below

if that's where You're calling

may we stay planted in lands and riverbeds no matter how dry if that's what You're asking

may we live this life in complete surrender because it was never ours to begin with." - @wildflowerpages via IG 

"Just keep in mind the feeling 'I am', merge in it, till your mind and feeling become one. By repeated attempts you will stumble on the right balance of attention and affection and your mind will be firmly established in the thought-feeling 'I am'. Whatever you think, say, or do, this sense of immutable and affectionate being remains as the ever-present background of the mind." - Nisargadatta Maharaj 

"He told them, “I have food to eat you know nothing about.” The disciples were puzzled. “Who could have brought him food?” - John 4:32-33
