GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki

You are making a way where there was no way. 

I Am (is) giving you a glimpse. 

I Am (is) multiplying you. 

Keep going, 

in My Stillness,

in My rhythym,

at My pace, 

not yours. 

"He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers." - Deuteronomy 7:13

I Love You

I Am You

"So many people struggle with trying to know the difference between a voice that is coming from the ego or from the Soul. 

A voice that’s coming from the ego is trying to feel safe and know that it’s loved.

A voice that is coming from the Soul already feels safe and already knows that it’s Love(d)." - Cory Muscara 

“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” John 14:26

May the morning bring me word of your unfailing Love. For I have put my trust in you. Show me the way thay I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Teach me to do you will for you are my God. May your good spirit lead me on level ground." -Psalm 143:8

"Remember not the former things

Nor consider the things of old

Behold I am doing a new thing

And now it springs forth.

Do you not perceive it?

I will make a way in the wilderness 

And rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:18-19

 

To get to the GoOD part of your life,

you have to die to this part.

You have to not react to this part, 

not desire or want in this part. 

You have to be Baba, now.

You have to be Christ, now.

You have to be Mother, now.

You aren't becoming. 

You aren't believing. 

You're be-Loving. 

I Love You

I Am You

"What you will hear in your ear, in the other ear proclaim from your rooftops. After all, no one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket. Nor does one put it in a hidden place. Rather, one puts it on a lampstand, so that all who come and go will see its light."- Jesus (The Gospel of Thomas)

"God spoke the Word, and this light appeared. I appeared not of my own or another's volition, but I was sent forth. By the Father as a living witness. That life is good, for God is good." - Virginia Stephenson 

"Whatever you can become is not what you are." - @thehamsterwheelisnotmotorized

Ram Dass podcast I listened to (mentioned in the episdoe).

When you pray, notice that you're often directing that prayer outside of you.

Direct it inward this time.

Talk to that Love,

talk to that Silence.

And then retire from talking.

And just listen.

Just receive.

Let yourself receive.

You used to have such a hard time with that, but not anymore.

Now you know you are worthy.

You've always been.

But you can feel It now.

Even when the mind tries to play its tricks,

even when that anxiety lies to you.

Even when that fatigue tries to overwhelm you,

tries to tell you to lay back down.

To not get up and pray,

to not get up and chant or meditate,

to not practice.

You're not fooled anymore.

You're not the one you used to be anymore.

You can hear Me saying,

"You have Me.

Give me your Heart.

Give Me Space,

give Me Stillness,

and everything else will be added unto you."
 
I Love You
I Am You

 "Don't lose hope, you don't know what you are going to get next..." - @Neem_karoli_babaa via IG

"Silence is essential. We need silence, just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us." - Thich Nhat Hanh   "You have no choice, only the illusion of it." -Nisargadatta Maharaj   "Just look into all the pleasures that you get from the world. They all come with a tax. You have to pay a tax for them.. and this tax is sorrow." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar   "Spirituality is a simple process: a matter of putting your guard down in the presence of God; and, we are always in God's presence! - Isha Das   "Prayer is to understand and feel that the only being in us is God's being, and to abide as that!" - Rupert Spira

 

"I am alive", "I am scared", "I am in need", "I am stuck"...

That's what you think this Presence is saying. 

That's what you've been told It's saying.

But really It's saying, "you are not".

"Your fears are not."

"Your desires are not."

 "Your illnesses, your concerns are not."

I Am.

That's Me you're claiming,

 and putting all those limitations on.

Stop that.

See that you're already where you need to be. 

Where you need to be is depending on Me.

Dissolving in Me. 

This is your 40 days and nights.

 And I can hear you asking, when does it end?

When you know it's only Me here.

I Love You

I Am You

Today's Quotes:

"Why Should the 'I' Feel Discouraged?" - Simona Jae @simona_jae_ via IG 

"Be quiet that is Truth. Be Still that is God."- Ramana Maharshi

"When approaching God, one has to give everything, all one possesses. But people say: 'How am I to give up my pride, my anger, my self-importance, how can I bear insult without a murmur?' When you give everything, you get everything." -Anandamayi Ma

"The very moment God sees us fully convinced of our nothingness, He reaches out His hand to us." -St. Therese of Lisieux

"He knows what is best and when and how to do it.

Leave everything entirely to Him.

His is the burden:

you have no longer any cares.

All your cares are His.

Such is surrender.

This is bhakti." - Ramana Maharashi 

"A Realized Soul looks upon his body in the same way that a coolie does regarding his load.

He will look forward to putting down the load at the destination." - Ramana Maharshi 

 

Original airdate- Nov 2022

God consciousness is always acting,

never reacting.

It's always recalibrating,

restoring you to this new version of you.

This new version of you doesn't have the old desires, the old wants.

This new version of you is content, is fulfilled, is full.

If you already had the relationship, if you already had the house, if you already had that number in your bank account,
You wouldn't be affirming it right now.

You wouldn't be thinking about it right now.

You wouldn't be needing it right now.

You'd be silent right now.

That's the sound of answered prayer.

That's how you sound when you don't want anything, when you don't need anything.

That's how you sound when you are one with God.

Listen.

That's how you sound when you know who you are.

That's how you sound when you know God is.

This is what a smile sounds like.

Affirm to yourself- My life changes now.

I am at the beginning of a new journey.

I'm sitting up taller.

I'm feeling love.

I'm being loved.

I am on the expressway,

smiling unswervingly through it all,

on my way to it all,

remembering that I am it all.

Love you, 

I Am you,

Today's Quotes:

"Each person comes to life at a time when they have something to give to the world."
-Old Proverb

"Identify the most profound and pleasant experience that you have experienced. At that moment, what sort of face did you carry? Make that experience and expression the baseline of your life.  You should not come below that high that you already know. You can only exist above that benchmark. Make the high point of your life the base for the future! The tools for transformation are there. You are at the right time in history. This is a great time for blossoming into your fullest. When I am here, you should not aspire for the mundane. Your goal should be nothing less than the Ultimate."
-Sadhguru 

Before outer conditions can change, your reaction to them must stop, for it is your reaction that perpetuates them by giving truth to the lie.  Refuse to do something about nothing. Reacting to thoughts about the material world is like a hypnotized stage subject swinging at an imaginary opponent.  The secret to non-reaction is in remembering that you are already infinite God-consciousness.  We are to let thoughts pass out of us and thus uncondition our mind. As they are passing out, don't pull them back by thinking about them. The only reaction you should have is to omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence; that reaction being awe and gratitude that you are one with all that is. God-consciousness is always acting, never reacting."
-Joel Goldsmith 

"Fear says 'what if'
Faith says 'even if'"
-@prayerteam via IG 

"WHENEVER HE LOOKS AT YOU
God sees nothing in us that He has not given,
Everything is empty until He places
what He wishes into it.
The soul is like an uninhabited world
that comes to life only when
God lays His head
against us.
The delight a child can know
tossing a ball into the air,
my Lord confessed He experiences
whenever He looks at you.
God sees nothing in us
that He has not given."
-St. Thomas Aquinas, Love Poems From God by Daniel Ladinsky

“Smiling can be a deliberate, intentioned act. When it is that, it becomes an act of creation, and a powerful tool. Be quick to smile, and quick to share your smile with others. You will light up your heart and light up the room.”
-Neale Donald Walsch

“When you are in readiness, you are in wakefulness. A smile can take you there. A simple smile. Just stop everything for one moment, and smile. At nothing. Just because it feels good. Just because your heart knows a secret. And because your soul knows what the secret is. Smile at that.

You read about Me.

You share about Me.

Sometimes you even believe in Me,

but you still don't trust Me.

What you call faith is often just distraction,

from the appearances,

with other appearances.

True Faith is when you face the problem,

the appearance,

and all you see is My Face,

all you hear is My Voice,

all you feel is My Promise.

That's the difference between yesterday and today-

LOVE, sustained.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His Love endures forever."
-Psalm 136:1

********

Today's Practice:

Instead of Where's Waldo,

keep asking, 'where's Jesus'?

Where's the Christ?

And keep seeing It shining through appearances,

as appearances,

as you. 

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes: 

"God, may I focus more on what I'm trying to get to, than on where I'm trying to get away from."
-@Dayal.gauranga

"Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, That my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, That my work, too, may be holy.
Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, That I love but what is holy.
Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, To defend all that is holy.
Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, That I always may be holy."
-St. Augustine

"When the Lord God, the Holy Spirit, visits us [he says] and comes to us in the fuliness of his ineffable goodness, then we have to stop praying and refrain from prayer itself. The praying soul speaks and offers up words, but at the descent of the Holy Spirit it must be utterly silent so that it can clearly hear and truly understand the words of eternal life which the Spirit condescends to bring to it."
-St Seraphim of Sarov 

"The will of God will never take you where the grace of God won't sustain you."
-Unknown 

"We live in a Christ-soaked universe that is pulling us into the abundant, resurrection life of Jesus. We can either let go and trust the process or we can resist and suffer. Either way, death is the inevitable entryway into resurrection life."
-Brandy Anderson

"Just because something hasn't manifested, doesn't mean it can't. You are not miles away from what you want, and you are not years, or hours, or months, or weeks away from what you want. You're only vibrations away from what you want."
- Esther Hicks

"If you can recognize and accept your pain without running away from it, you will discover that although pain is there, joy can also be there at the same time."
- Thich Nhat Hanh, No Mud, No Lotus

"God desires to give us everything we just have to be empty enough to receive it."
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Today's Quotes:

"If negative thoughts, insecurities, doubts come into the mind, chant Om Namah Shivaya. This itself will  put you on the right track."
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

"Regardless of time or place, one who chants the Holy Name, even while eating or sleeping, attains all perfection."
-Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

"Sleep while awake."
-Ramana Maharshi

"No matter what your impulses dictate, let nothing sit on the throne of your heart but God. If you love this creation of God's more than Him, you will be disillusioned. God first, God in the middle, God last."
-Yogananda

"You should not be carried away by the dictation of your mind, but the mind should be carried away by your dictation."
-Srila Prabhupada

"Let there be no boundaries. When you lose all sense of self, the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul”
- Rumi

"In this world full of shapes, there you are with no form."
-Rumi

"Japa is not a battle with the mind but an emotional connection with Krishna."
-Mahatma Das

"There is a silence in you.
It is always here, constant and unmovable.
It is not doing anything. Be aware of this.
It is simply here but it didn’t arrive.
You are not a person here. In the silence itself,
you are without history, name and form.
Recognise that space here now which simply is.
It underlies all activity, but it itself
does not participate in any activity.
Notice and confirm this now,
and stay in your beautiful rest."
-Mooji

"You've been seeking a drop of water when God has the ocean written for you."

Grammy-nominated Kirtan singer and GoOD Friend, Krishna Das (KD) joins Nikki to talk about the first mantra he was given by Ram Dass (that saved him from a car accident), his experiences meeting Indian saints like Anandamayi Ma, his personal spiritual practice (chanting versus meditating), one of his favorite Christian Saints, St. Seraphim of Sarov, his time in India with Neem Karoli Baba aka Maharajji, and his time now, still living in the boundless presence that is his Guru. They cover how to manage doubt,  how to grow in Faith, and KD shares the mantra he turns to when maya/illusion gets very loud. Finally, KD leads a the beautiful 'Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram' chant. Watch on Youtube!

राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम

"The words of these chants are called the divine names and they come from a place that's deeper than our hearts and our thoughts, deeper than the mind. And so as we sing them they turn us towards ourselves, into ourselves. They bring us in, and as we offer ourselves into the experience, the experience changes us. These chants have no meaning other than the experience that we have by doing them. They come from the Hindu tradition, but it's not about being a Hindu, or believing anything in advance. It's just about doing it, and experiencing. Nothing to join, you just sit down and sing. The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy." - Krishna Das 

The 'Sri Ram' Mantra is known as the victory mantra. 'One gets success and victory in all his ventures who chants this mantra. It is a miracle mantra which can make the impossible tasks possible.'

Sri - Honorific title to show respect and reverence

Ram - the Light of your Soul 

Jai - Victory or Triumph

Victory to the Light within me.

"Just take Ram's name and all desires will be fulfilled." - Maharajji to Dada in Miracle of Love

"Q: Maharajji, what can I do to gain pure love for Ram? -- Maharajji's Answer: You will get pure love for Ram by the blessings of Christ. Hanuman and Christ are one. They are the same." - Miracle of Love

"Standing or sitting, eating or lying down, if one chants 'Ram, Ram' constantly, one will be able to gain His Grace, there is no doubt about it. A person, who is anxious to gain God's Grace, can experiment on this and test its truth. He, who constantly chants 'Ram, Ram', will become Ram." -Sri Sitaramdas Omkarath

Aditya Hridiyam Mantra Meditation with Ram Dass  - "All evil vanishes from life for him who keeps the Sun in his heart." 

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." - Ephesians 2: 8-10   Chants of a Lifetime by Krishna Das   राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम

Look around you and smile.

You can't get there,

where you're so desperately trying to get,

without being here, now. 

This is a crucial part of your journey.

This moment, this listening,

this Silence that's speaking to you,

that's praying in you,

peace, be still. 

I didn't give you that desire to not fulfill it. 

I gave it to you to inspire you.

To make you move differently.

To make you think differently.

To stop your thinking sometimes,

so you can hear Me say, 

take that opportunity. 

you're ready.

You don't think you are,

but I Am.

Start that project already.

It looks impossible.

You don't think you have the resources,

but I do.

Let Me do the thinking for Us. 

My thinking is Stillness. 

It's Clarity.

It's a Certainty. 

It's Love. 

And where there is Love, 

there is no need for anything else.

That's why you were one way before,

and why you are this way now.*

Because of your encounter with Me.

As this silence, as this Love.

This voice is just noise

to bring your attention to the Harmony that's waiting on you. 

You don't have to create Harmony in your life. 

You just have to listen for It.

It already is.

And then, because of you, It becomes. 

It appears to heal.

It appears to fix.

It appears to pay. 

It appears to feed.

it appears to clothe.

This Harmony that you listen for. 

This Harmony that you are. 

"Faith comes by hearing and hearing…" -Romans 10:17

Hear it Here. 

Your journey is just getting good because you just got God (awareness). 

I Love you, 

I  Am you,

"Faith is looking at the impossible and knowing that your Guru will not fail you." - @neemkaroli_babaofficial_

"Where there is Love there is no need for law." - Maharaj Sawan Singh

"Through the sound, the world came into being. Through the Word, the carpet of Light was spread for His Presence." - Rumi

"Everything in your life is planned by Him, so just relax..." - @neemkarolibabaji

"I was one way, and now I'm completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him." - The Chosen (Mary Magdalene speaking about Jesus/Yeshua)

"Your future will be nothing like your past. You won't have to do as much talking; your energy will speak for you. You won't have to do as much of the hard labor; your energy will work for you. You won't have to do as much convincing because you'll realize that the authentic truth as you know it always reveals itself. You're getting more comfortable in your skin and soul, and that growth will manifest on a number of levels. Life is getting easier. Life is getting lighter. When you envision your future, leave the difficult version in your past." -@sourcemessages

"I know that Jesus could not wish useless suffering for us, and He would not inspire me with the desires I feel, were He not willing to fulfill them." - St. Thérèse of Lisieux

"The clearer your mind gets, che more it projects a friendly universe, until one day it occurs to you that you haven't had a problem for a very long time." -Unknown

"Even the impossible becomes possible through devotion." -Sarada Devi

"This princely aspect of his nature-_its sublime beauty and transparent purity unceasingly present in him-has always been imperceptibly and silently waiting there to receive him, secretly giving meaning to his existence without his having known it. Whenever he remembers to turn his look inward, he will always find it there, ever awake, unchanging, never affected nor sullied in any manner by anything that has taken place in his life." - Edward Salim Michael

 

"Yes, you are."

That's My response to that energetic mantra you've got going over there.

The one that's silently saying 'I'm not there, yet',

'I'm not ready, yet',

'I'm not her, yet' (the highest version of myself),

'I'm not him, yet',

'I'm not that, yet'.

'I'm not enlightened, yet'.

Yes, you are.

Yeshua.

Yeshua. 

That's your original energetic mantra.

You're feeling It again.

You're breathing It again.

It's riding the exhale down into (Y)our Heart.

Down into that Place where I Am singing,

I Am being

You. 

I Love You

I Am You

"Surrender is not something that you can do.

If you do it, it is not surrender, because the doer is there.

Surrender is a great understanding that,

"I am not."" -Osho 

"In a flash, in the blink of an eye, your new normal will be the reality that you once desired, that you have dreamed of, that you have imagined." - Sara Landon

"My heart is now awake, and so I am able to feel what is real. I begin by "Seeing as God Sees," and then I move to the next step of "Feeling as God Feels." God feels only love, and so I give this gift that it may be mine." - James Twyman, The Jeshua Code 

"There is a song deep inside you. You are born to sing a song and you are preparing. You are moving around in the stage with your dresses, but you are forgetting to sing---holding the mike, too, but you are keeping silent. Till that time, you'll be restless---until you can sing that song which you have come on the stage to sing. Doesn't matter if vou feel a little out of tune for one minute or two. Go ahead." - Gurudev H.H SriSri Ravi Shankar

"In your silence when there are no words, no language, nobody else is present, you are getting in tune with Existence." - Osho 

I Am the Core of you, the Joy that was poured into you at the beginning.

When you recognize Me in you, the Crucifixion is over.

The struggle, the suffering is over.

And we can begin.

We can rise.

We win. 

There is power in My Name, 

which is (Y)our Name. 

Chant It, speak It, hear It, sing It, cry It.

Yeshua, or Jesus, or Christ, or Yahweh, or Jehovah, or Allah, or Rama, or Krishna. 

It doesn't matter which Name, which language, 

or which story you most relate to of (Y)ours. 

When I say take My Name, 

I mean take this Feeling.

Melt into Me.

Dissolve in Me. 

And let Me take over today. 

Let Me speak today. 

You don't have to worry about what to say.

Let Me do it. 

Let Me pray. 

Silence is my prayer.

"Thank you, Father," is my prayer.

"It is done." "It's finished." is my prayer.

And all of my prayers are answered instantly.

So what do you have left to worry about?

What do you have left to think about? To doubt about?

Stop running. You're home.

Say, "I'm home."

The Christ is saying I'm Home,

in this temple, 

and it's time to finish what We started. 

I Love You

I Am You

"How can I know God's Will? When you begin to unravel those layers of fear that have given you a sense of safety and identity in your world, you will find that you and God are one. You will know God's will then, for it will be your own." - Emmanuel, Book 2

"Peace rushes in the moment we remember it's not on us to figure it all out." -@proverbs31ministries via IG

"When I  wanted to give up,I God told me to get up!" - Livingchristian.org

"Stopping is the basic Buddhist practice of meditation. You stop running. You stop struggling. You allow yourself to rest, to heal, to calm." - Thich Nhat Hanh

"Jesus and love are synonymous. If you say love, you need not say Jesus and when you say Jesus, it means love. Whatever glimpses you may get here and there indicates that fullness, the ultimate expression of the inexpressible that life is striving to express throughout time." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

"Divine God, Beloved Guru, You have a divine destiny for me, A purpose which is mine alone.  Give me the grace to attend to the burning bush in my Soul." -Isha das 

"Maharajji is not further away from you at this moment than the thought you're thinking now and I f you were capable of completely stopping this thought or transcending it or being centered from the inside behind it, He and You would then be One." - Ram Dass 

The Silence is always here. 

It is abundant.

It becomes (y)our Abundance.

But you don't invest in It.

You don't sit with It.

You sit with your worries.

You sit with your plans.

Planning is GoOD.

But then you have to put them down,

and listen for the Key that will unlock those plans,

that will unfold the seeming future.

You can't get (t)here without This,

no matter how hard you work,

you need Grace.

You need Prayer.

You need Love. 

I Love You

Hear the voice of the wind of the trees 

and of your own heart and somehow, in some way, I will speak to you through that."  - Emmanuel Book 1

The light inside, the love inside of us, is always present. It can't be anywhere else. God lives inside of us as who we really are. Not as "God": Some Other Thing. As who we are. Not somebody else. Not something else." - Krishna Das, Chants of a Lifetime 

"If your life is made in such a way that in every step you are feeing the presence of Krishna, then that is Krishna Consciousness." -Srila Prabhupada

"If only you knew how powerful you'd become once you stop waiting for other people to confirm what you already know is true." -Michell C. Clark

"Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops." - James 5:17-18

There's something about this passage I've never noticed before... Elijah prayed it wouldn't rain.  And it didn't for three and a half years. Then he prayed it would. And it did. But something else happened... crops grew. If crops grew when the rain came, that implies there were seeds in the ground. This story suggests that farmers were still sowing seeds in the dust. They kept planting, believing the rains would eventually come. I  don't know about you but prayer can sometimes feel like this for me. Like I'm sowing seeds in the desert. But I've learned that often when it feels like nothing is happening physically, there is plenty that's happening spiritually. Even if I can't see it yet. Personally, I want to have seeds already in the ground when the rain comes. My prayer is that, even when our prayers don't seem to be making a visible difference, we'd keep sowing anyway, trusting the One who brings the rain. Keep sowing, friend. - @iansimkins via IG  (both pinned posts)

"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” - John 13:35

Right now, where you are, only God is breathing.

That Breath is how He sounds in this moment.

That is His form.

You are His form.

His hands.

His feet.

His mouth.

Feed us today.

We need your Energy.

We need that Peace you're carrying,

that Joy that only you can give.

Don't withhold It from anyone.

We all need It.

We all need You,

just as You are. 

You already made it. 

I Love You

I Am You

"God's plan for your life far exceeds the circumstances of your day." - @worthyofgrace via IG 

"Maharajji had breathed me into a place of calm and peace and stillness. He was huge. There was no place that He was not." - Krishna Das 

"I was first led to say; 'I have never seen a thing without seeing God behind it, then to say which is closer to the truth: I have never seen a thing without seeing God with it, then finally to say 'I have never seen a thing without seeing God before it. Now I can only say, He He He."- ibn Sab'in

"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders." - Lao Tzu

"A God-ordained transition season is rarely comfortable, but what it never lacks is peace."-@worthyofgrace via IG 

"Your Relief is written, Don't lose hope.

Your miracle will happen. It will all happen unexpectedly and you will wonder at how everything worked out for you, You will be amazed at how Allah answered your dua. So don't worry about your prayers, they are not going unheard. Trust Him." -@ownthoughts_24 via IG 

"This inner Grace appears as love in our hearts and as food on our table. It satisfies our every need without our taking thought. It creates in us an awareness of "My Kingdom"." -Virginia Stephenson

"Sometimes you are so focused on the future that vou don't realize you're in the middle of what vou used to pray for." - @trustgodbro via IG 

"I am who I am, and that is enough." - Bashar

 

Even though the Name may sound like,

'Hare Krishna',

or 'Hare Rama',

or 'Yahweh',

or 'Abba',

It's basically saying:

'There's nothing to fear here.'

'This is illusion.'

'This is maya.'

'Only God is here.'

'Only Love is here.'

'You're safe.'

'I'm with you.'

'I'm protecting you.'

'I'm healing you.'

'I'm growing you.'

'I'm prospering you.'

'I'm blessing you.'

All of that,

is implied,

as you chant,

as you catch this Beat,

and feel this Rhythm.

It's all in the Name.

It's all in the Name.

I Love you,

Nik

Today's Quotes:

"There's a morning when presence comes over your soul. You sing like a rooster in your earth-colored shape. Your heart hears and, no longer frantic, begins to dance."
- Rumi

"Where the pictures on the screen of the mind no longer disturb. That is enlightenment."
-Anu Mullick Koul

"Out of the four problems of material existence, namely the food problem, the shelter problem, the fear problem and the mating problem, the fear problem gives us more trouble than the others. Yet all fear is vanished as soon as there is the sound of the Lord, represented by His holy name. We can take advantage of these sounds and be free from all threatening problems of material existence."
-Srila Prabhupada

"The transcendental Presence must become a living experience, permeating our consciousness, flowing through us to the extent that the fingers tingle with It, and the toes. It is a reality, even though the human mind cannot understand It, the human eyes cannot see It, and the human ears cannot hear It. It is so real that when It happens we know It, and there are no questions."
- Joel Goldsmith

"And if hardship approaches, you then say:
You are what I will
use to blossom"
-Hashim Y. A.

" The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. The awareness that there is nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your mind, though not necessarily in a place you recognize as yet, you have remembered God, and let His strength take the place of your weakness. The instant you are willing to do this there is indeed nothing to fear."
-A Course in Miracles

"Once a dog came to the ashram to beg for food, Anandamayi Ma placed some food close to wooden tigers that were so realistically painted that they appear as real tigers. The dog obviously was in a quandary. He was eager to eat the food but fear of the tigers kept him from touching it. Anandamayi Ma there upon remarked that the dog found himself in the position of most human beings who are held captive by their imaginary fears.  Fear is unreal and it appears only in imagination; abide in Self to stay fearless."
-Sri Anandamavi Ma

Today's Quotes:

"Don't let what you see make you forget what I said. -God"
-Unknown via IG

“The large Kainchi temple is built at a spot where Sombari Maharaj, a great saint of that area, had lived in a cave. The cave still remains at the back of the temple and there is a strong feeling of continuity of spirit there. Once Maharajji, Siddhi Ma, and Jivanti Ma went at night to the site that was later to become the temple at Kainchi. While the Ma’s sat by the roadside, Maharajji crossed over the river and didn’t come back for four or five hours. When he did, he said, “I hear the sound here. We shall have a temple.””
— Miracle of Love: Stories about Neem Karoli Baba by Ram Dass

"Thinking of anything other than God is what creates sorrow."
-Anandamayi Ma

'Everything that is meant for you, you will have."
- @lawofattractionuniversal via IG

"There's nothing to see here, there's nothing to see/hear."
-Jarett Anderson 

"I'm here because I followed the path of practice that my Guru laid out for me." - Nina Rao

Nina Rao learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in south India when she was nine years old. The chants quietly stayed with her until she rediscovered chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996. For many years Nina has been Krishna Das’ business manager and accompanies him onstage. In 2007, she recorded the track ‘Nina Chalisa’ on Krishna Das’ CD Flow of Grace. She has since recorded the albums Antarayaami—Knower of All Hearts and Anubhav. 

In this chat she shares about her Guru, Sri Siddhi Ma, her powerful and anchoring experiences on the pathless path, the real meaning of the Ram mantra, and the importance of service and constant God remembrance. She leads us in to Presence by chanting Sri Ram Jai Ram and the Hanuman Chalisa.

"You went through most of your life worrying about how your future would be, and yet, here you are; thriving and well. But, for some reason, a part of you still worries about what lies ahead. Even with all the proof of how well things turn out for you. It's time to end this pattern of thinking, and to start giving your life the benefit of every doubt. Things have always worked out, even when they seemed as if they couldn't. You deserve the peace of what the present moment is offering you. Trust that you are being cared for by a much greater force." - @SourceMessages

"If we move according to the instructions of the Vedas, the perfect paths for our lives will be set. Otherwise, if we do not move in that way but act according to our whimsical ideas, our lives will be spoiled by confusion and will end in despair. Actually, because people at the present moment are not following the instructions of the Vedas, they are all confused." -Srila Prabhupada : Srimad-Bhagavatam 5.1.14, Purport

"To remain without thought in the waking state is the greatest worship."- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

I have never said a prayer in my whole life. When I say "Shiva," for me it's everything. When I utter "Shiva," whatever I wish to know is here for me. If I sit here long enough, just with one word I will know the whole existence. It is because of this that I walk through life with such ease - just Shiva. You must know the strength of that. Don't get lost in your logical mind. This is not that kind of nonsense. This doesn't belong to that genre. This is a way of going beyond where you are. This is a way of stepping beyond the boundaries that human beings are supposed to stay within." -Sadhguru

"PRAY WITHOUT CEASING" (1 Thess. 5:17) Prayer changes as we rise in con-sciousness. When we live in a material sense of existence, our prayers have words and thoughts because our faith is in externals. As we grow in grace and feel our oneness with our Source, the words and thoughts are less necessary for the altitude of consciousness is higher. We then learn the meaning of how to "pray without ceasing." - Virginia Stephenson, Agreement An Attitude of Prayer

"When you inhale, say "I."

When you exhale, say "Am.

A subtle change of energy takes place within the self, and you will become more peaceful, calm, and soon you will lose all identification with your body and mind.

You will remain as "I Am." - Robert Adams

When you feel that 'fight or flight' kick in,

use that to trigger your recognition-

'I Am',

which means 'He's Here',

which means,  'I'm GoOD'.

And then you can handle business,

because you know it's already handled. 

You just appear to be going through the motions,

going throught the emotions,

but you're not fooled. 

You can feel the Light, 

as you, in you, on you. 

It's your turn. 

"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." - John 4:4

***************************************

"The scriptures speak of three Holy rivers Within.

These are Existence, Consciousness, and Bliss.

Being beyond thought or effort they cannot be objectified or subjectified.

They are so dear, so near, behind the retina and before the breath.

You need not see This, you are It."  - Papaji

"When I am silent,

I fall into that place

where everything is music." - Rumi

"It's okay to be honest. I know you're trying to keep it all together for quiet a while now. Beloved, there's a safe space for you here. I see that heart. The heart that wants to stay strong for those she deeply love. God sees that heart. He's saying, "My child, come rest in Me."

"Help me to have faith beyond my own understanding. Remind me that my weaknesses are not my defeats. Remind me that Your steadfast love goes beyond my goals and dreams. Remind me of how faichful You are."

In your hopelessness, let God's voice be the loudest. He's here. He's in your situation. He's breathing hope to your hopeless heart.: - Joenna Sandiego via IG

"While you may be tired, and while you may want things to be easier, know the work set before you is valuable and worthwhile. Know the struggle is very real, as you remember hard work is part of the process. Through this process, weakness will be revealed and eventually become strengthened. Remember the process is not punishment, though it may feel uncomfortable and you may not like it or enjoy it. It is part of what is necessary to prepare you. The process is your preparation, not your punishment." - Neil Vermillion 

"If you are in agreement with this, then you will never fear a belief in material causa-tion. Your freedom is assured when you realize the name of your heavenly Father is "I" and "I am come in my Father's name . . .Are you in agreement that there is only one Ego and that this One is not human but divine, not finite but in-finite? Then you never need fear persons or conditions, for God is the Father of us all and greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." When the seventy returned to Jesus after he had sent them out to heal the sick in "My name," which he revealed as the I Am, he said:... rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Nothing can defile the great I Am, for it is hallowed. It is holy, it is whole. Are you in agreement with this? If you are in agreement that there is only One, I Am, and that It is the hallowed name, then healing is the revealing of true identity. Healing takes place by impersonalizing and nothingizing the human concept of a personal ego, that can be sick, sinning and dying; and by realizing the oneness and all-ness of the eternal I Am. By inheritance you have your Father's name I Am and by living in agreement with the hallowed One you are under the grace of divine Sonship." - Virgina Stephenson

"You have no enemies; only Yourself, in varying degrees of ignorance." - @Ram_bodhi 

 

That your next chapter already started.

This is what you prayed for--

it just begins with a bit of discomfort,

it begins by moving you in a new way, 

so you can start seeing in a new way,

hearing in a new way.

I'm just here to guide you into the fulfilment of this new way. 

Into the fulfillment of your deepest desire,

the desire to remember who you are,

and be that in the world. 

So you can finally reintroduce yourSelf

as the One without fear. 

The One who LIVES Faith, 

who is Love,

You are the Miracle. 

(T)His Love is non-different from the Miracle.

"God is alive. Magic if afoot.' - Leonard Cohen

"Question: Is grace the ultimate deciding factor?

Amma: Grace is the factor that brings the right result at the right time in the right proportion to your actions.

Dedication is the most essential aspect. The more dedicated you are, the more open you remain. The more open you are the more love you experience. The more love you have the more grace you experience." -Amma

"You're asking for a sign and you are looking for an external sign. God has already given vou that confirmation in your spirit. Pay altention to the nudges, the peace, and the ideas coming up in your mind." - @TheRealSweetspot

"The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the beginning of knowledge. This has misled many people, because the truth is that fear is entirely evil and is indeed the only enemy we have. You can heal any condition if you can get rid of the fear attaching to it. Trouble or sickness is nothing but subconscious fear outpictured in our surroundings. It is true at all times that "we have nothing to fear but fear."

How then do we account for the texts quoted? The answer is that in the Bible the fear of God means reverence for God, not fear in the usual sense of the word. Reverence for God is the beginning of wisdom. How do we show reverence for God? By seeing God everywhere, refusing to recognize anything unlike Him, and by living the Christ life.

Confidence is worship. You worship whatever you trust. Are you trusting more in fear or in God? What are you worshiping? That is the test." - Emmet Fox, Around the Year 

"You are no thing, presently

conceiving of yourself as something.

The body is something, but without the mind, the body could not be seen.

And without the consciousness, the mind cannot be seen.

And without the absolute,

the consciousness cannot be seen.

Contemplate this."- Mooji 

"Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace". -Job 22:21

"Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way prosperity will come to you." - Job 22:21, NIV

“Not seeing results? The last thing to grow on a fruit tree is the fruit." -unknown 

I am the Vine: You are the branches. Those who remain in Me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from Me you can do nothing." - John 15:5

"It's still going to happen, says God." -  @SardineBread

"Your struggles are not because you didn't pray the right way or because you didn't pray enough, or because you have weak faith or insufficient intercessors. It is because God is using you in ways that you may not understand now, but one day you will. One day you will see how God used your affliction to prepare you for an incomparable weight of glory." -@therealsweetspot

"Taking time to rest challenges us to believe God is working even when we are not." - @worthyofgrace

"The more you sit in the Self, the more you will begin to feel an energy that you have never experienced before. It comes up from behind, rather than in front where you experience your mind and emotions. When you are no longer absorbed in your melodrama but, instead, sit comfortably deep inside the seat of awareness, you will start to feel this flow of energy coming up from deep within. This flow has been called Shakti. This flow has been called Spirit. This is what you begin to experience if you hang out with the Self instead of hanging out with inner disturbances. You don't have to get rid of loneliness; you just cease to be involved with it. It's just another thing in the universe, like cars, grass, and the stars. It's none of your business. Just let things go. That's what the Self does. Awareness does not fight; awareness releases. Awareness is simply aware while everything in the universe parades before it.

If you sit within the Self, you will experience the strength of your inner being even when your heart feels weak. This is the essence of the path. This is the essence of a spiritual life. Once you learn that it's okay to feel inner disturbances, and that they can no longer disturb your seat of consciousness, you will be free. You will begin to be sustained by the inner energy flow that comes from behind you. When you have tasted the ecstasy of the inner flow, you can walk in this world and the world will never touch you. That's how you become a free being-you transcend." - Michael Singer, The Untethered Soul 

"Wherever there is Shree Krishna, the Lord of all Yog, and wherever there is Arjun, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be unending opulence, victory, prosperity, and righteousness." - BG 18.78

 

Affirm: "I’m not late for anything.

I am resting from worrying, 

from doubting,

from dreading,

from thinking.

I am trusting that what God has placed before me,

that what 'I' has placed before me, 

is exactly what I need."

This is Faith. 

This is the Knowledge that you must say 'Yes' to . 

Chant 'Yes, yes, yes', in every seeming moment, 

FEELINGLY.

Smilingly.  

Yes. 

Yesh.

Yeshua.

It is so.

Today's Quotes:

"Why do you worry about money? Look into that box of yours. You have kept money in it." -Neem Karoli Baba aka Maharajji

"This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment.

First to let go of life.

Finally, to take a step without feet." -Rumi

"Faith is realizing that you always get what you need". - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

"Taking time to rest challenges us to believe God is working even when we are not." - @worthyofgrace

"Most people are so consumed by earthly concerns and possessions that they never get to

feel the love of God." -Saint Paisios the Athonite

"Your passion has been sleeping within you and must now be awakened. This will happen the moment you desire one thing. Your challenge has been that you desire more than one thing, and so you are not able to see that all desires are the same. If you choose in darkness, then shadows will enfold everything you perceive. But if you choose in the Light, then they will shine as you shine, and be blessed by your Holy Desire. Passion and desire stand together in your mind and cannot be separated. We will now open to the One Desire that will lead you to the goal you seek - the Peace of God. Nothing else in this world can satisfy you now. You have come too far." - James Twyman, Jeshua Code

"I have called you to remember the reason you chose to be born. You have chosen to answer that call, for the song that was planted in your soul is now ringing in your ears." - James Twyman, Jeshua Code

"You have been taught to chant the word YES to open the channels of your soul, preparing your heart for the Great Work that lies before us. It doesn't matter what language you use. It is the feeling you generate that creates the opening.  There is a sound in Hebrew that essentially means "It is so." This is a more powerful interpretation of the word YES. The sound is Yesh. Say it a few times out loud. Make the sound long and draw it out for at least a few seconds. "V-E-S- H."  Chant it over and over, as often as you can. Call to the Christ in You, and it will awaken. Will you believe me when I tell you that the rest will happen on its own? What do you wish to see in the world? Peace? Harmony? Adopt the vision that was given before time began..."- James Twyman, Jeshua Code

Open that body's eyes in the same spirit that you start the engine of your car.

You don't think the car is You,

and right now, you're not thinking that that body is You.

You're seeing it silently.

You're looking 'in' at the world,

at these words,

through that body's eyes,

from where You are,

from what You are.

And suddenly, You're doing It!

You're BEing the Impossible,

and life is GoOD.

I Love you,

Today's Quotes:

"Heaven is a well of living water that seeks to replenish and renew the face of the earth. Let it begin now, with me.” - Isha Das

"Start by doing what's necessary;
then do what's possible;
and suddenly you are doing the impossible." -St. Francis of Assisi

"Breathe in and out of your heart. With each inhalation, you take in that Love a little more. With each exhalation, you get rid of that which keeps you from acknowledging that you are Love." -Ram Dass

"My consciousness has never association itself with this temporary body.  Before I came on this earth I was the same.  As a little girl I was the same. Even afterward, though the dance of creation changes around me, in the hall of eternity I shall be the same." -Anandamayi Ma

"Now imagine that you stop to sit on a bench in the park.
As you sit there everything stops, absolutely stops. Your mind is so still and quiet that you can hear dust particles floating in the air. Suddenly you are falling, and falling, and falling. There is no ground below or sky overhead, just a crushing thunderous silence, racing faster and faster. You suddenly realize that it’s going to kill you, rip you limb from limb and explode your lungs into dust. There’s no way out, no possible means of survival. And so you do the only thing there is to do. Surrender.  All goes blank and empty, more empty than limitless space.  Prior to life and death, you blink out of (or is it into?) existence. Timelessness is all there is, all there ever was, or could be. Eternity reigns supreme, and is radiantly present in every particle of being.  Something unborn and undying stirs to life and opens its eyes—your eyes. You or It is still sitting on the park bench.
It is smiling, radiant, and content. A little girl on roller skates passes by. The sun glitters through the aspen leaves as an old man
smokes his pipe on a footbridge crossing over a stream that feeds into a pond filled with goldfish." -Adyashanti excerpt from The Way of Liberation

Today's Quotes:

"You are not lost,

you are not less than,

you are not losing it all,

unworthy,

or invisible in any way.

You are waking up."

-Matt Khan

"Take no thought"

-Joel Goldsmith 

"You are calling up the Divinity within you which will enable you to bear hunger and thirst, heat and cold."  -Vivekananda

"Call up the Divinity with you. If any social institution stands in your way of becoming God, it

will give way before the power of Spirit." -Swami Vivekenanda  

"It's time to disconnect from the standard.  Disconnect from the norm. You're operating at an entirely new level of frequency. What you're capable of doing with this renewed spirit of energy is beyond the average. Where most people can't, you can. Where most people won't, you will. Where most people stop, you go. Don't follow the line because you're creating your own now. This phase of your life doesn't require courage; it just requires you accepting who you were always meant to be." -@SourceMessages via IG

"Look past your thoughts,

so you may drink the pure nectar of this

moment." -Rumi

"The human being has a unique place among God's creation.

'I breathed into him of My Spirit', God says.

Each and every one of us without exception

is designed to be God's delegate on earth.

Ask yourself, just how often do you behave

like a delegate, if you ever do so?

Remember, it falls upon each of us to discover

the Divine Spirit inside and live by it."-Shams Tabriz

"Do what you have been called to do, and then do more. The sky will clear and God's presence will be your presence." -@Isha_das_craig_bullock via IG

Amma says, "when we accept everything is God's Will, all our burdens are taken away."

And Rumi said, "the moment you accept what troubles you've been given,

the door will open,

the fog will clear,

 and you'll see that the body and mind were a part of the fog, too.

Do what you have never done...

Accept it.

Accept the situation.

Stop in the middle of it and see through it.

Stop in the middle of paying that bill and see through it.

Stop in the middle of checking your bank balance and see through it.

Stop in the middle of that doctor's appointment and see through it.

Stop in the middle of that meeting-  the meeting is still going on, they don't know what you're doing.

But you're shifting inside.

You're shifting outside too.

Because there isn't two.

Keep seeing through.

I love you

I Am You

"You don't need to respond right now. You don't need to let emotions dictate your actions. You don't need to let that split-second of irritation become a lasting regret. You do need to pause. You do need to breath." - Ailey Jolie 

Circumstances are not there to test you but to reveal God's greatness in your life." - @yourlifepursued

"You still don't realize who is standing behind you." - Sri Neem Karoli Baba 

In every seeming moment, you have one choice.

Fear or love.

And fear will feel closer.

It will feel like the obvious choice.

It will be the easiest choice. 

But we're here to do the hard thing.

We're here to open our hearts even when they feel heavy,

even when we feel defeated,

 even when you feel tired,

and it feels like doors are closing.*

In actuality, entire mansions have been prepared. 

You just have to stop running from what you prayed for.**

Every time you take a thought of 'when' of 'how', that's running.

Come back.

To the only Place where prayers are answered.

To the only Place that you are truly Called.

And don't strain.

The Silence is the Call.

It is the Message. It is the Voice.

"Those in whom the eternal Word speaks are delivered from uncertainty. From one Word proceed all things and all things tell of Him. Love the Word better than the world." -The Imitation of Christ

"You know who I am.

I am the voice of your remembering.

I am You, beyond the physical costuming, beyond the walls of forgetting, beyond the illusion of darkness.

I take no other form.

I claim no other identity.

I use my name because names are essential in your world.

Would you have come to hear me if I had said, "I am you?"

There is nothing I know that you do not.

My task is not to give you

information that is new and different.

My task is to help you remember

what you have forgotten.

And why do I exist?

I like the "why."

I exist by the very miracle of love.

We ARE.

There is no other why." - Emannuel Book II

"Have you not noticed that love is silence? It may be while holding the hand of another or looking lovingly at a child, or taking in the beauty of an evening. Love has no past or future, and so it is with this extraordinary state of silence." -Jiddu Krishnamurti-

"Stop running from what you prayed for." - @Godlyladytalk via IG 

"At times it feels like doors are closing. When in actuality, entire rooms are being built just for you." - @sourcemessages via IG 

"The maha-mantra is a prayer to come closer to Krsna, so we always want to be in that mood when chanting. We want to communicate from the heart, not from the lips. Chanting which is only from the lips is compared to shooting a blank bullet. A blank bullet is not actually a bullet, but it makes an explosion like a bullet. Similarly, we can be chanting blank mantras, mantras without substance that only sound like the maha-mantra. And we cannot defeat maya by shooting blank mantras." - Mahatma Das

"As mentioned before, Srila Bhaktisid-dhanta Sarasvati Thakura said that we don't chant with our lips, we chant with our heart. The exact words are, "The holy name is not lip deep; it's heart deep." Although people may say loving things, what's expressed from their heart is what actually communicates their love." - Mahatma Das 

#ProTip: Today keep something in your ear, so you’re not in your head.

May all your doors open,

Today's Quotes:

"Learn to sit still and be mentally still, and the silence thus generated with be more vocal than words spoken and written, and you will have an instantaneous solution not only to your own personal problems but to the problems of others as well." -Kirpal Singh, The Way of the Saints

"While the mind sees only boundaries,

Love knows the secret way there." -Rumi

"The air is alive, the water is alive, the soil that you walk upon is alive, and the very cosmic space is alive.

Today, science proclaims that water has its own memory and intelligence.

Someday, when science goes far enough, they will find that there is nothing in the Cosmos that is not alive.

The important question is, are you alive enough to perceive it?" -Sadhguru

"The Lord is near.

Do not worry about anything.

But...with thanksgiving let your requests

Be made known to God.

And the peace of God...will guard your hearts

And your minds in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:5-7

"Rushing only gives you the illusion that you're moving faster." - @peathefeary

Every time you get upset,

everytime you feel lost, 

everytime you ask Me a question,

My Answer starts when your thoughts stop.

My Blessings start,

when you chant.

Chant now-- one of My Names,

or 'Thank you',

or the Sound of Silence,

or the feeling of Love, 

or 'I choose Love, Here.'

"You come to bring Light where there seems to be darkness, to bring Love where fear seems to be. Remember the purpose of your Soul. Then such a time of darkness will seem less like an oppressive weight, but rather an opportunity. Where can I see Love here?

When, without even knowing the meaning of it, you say with every inhalation, "I choose love here. I choose love," you will see the light change and the darkness dispel. Your mind may say, "I don't understand what happened. All I did was sit here for fifteen minutes choosing love." Well, mind, that's all that is required.

The lifeline, the golden rope, is to know that there is such a thing as love, and in that moment you are empowered to choose it.

Just that. Even if your heart is breaking and you feel on the edge of collapse, say, "I choose love." By this mantra you silence the lifelong mantra that would choose fear." - Emmanuel Book II

"The Spirit breathes where it wants to, and you hear its voive, but do not know where it comes from and where it goes; this is how it is with everyone who is born by the Spirit." - John 3:8

Today's Quotes:

"The holy name is saying, "I am present here, my mercy is here, my love is here, please accept it, please feel it, please utilize it." -Mahatma Das

"I have a friend who unties the burdens of the world from the depths of my mind, heart & soul weightless,I lean into His God-Wind feeling its freedom at my back leading me toward the harvest fields pulling me closer to my purpose & welcoming me into the land of the redeemed. -from the book, There Is Beauty Still, Brittany Lister @wildflowerpages

"The message of The Infinite Way revealed to me at the beginning that God does not set us free. It is the consciousness of God in us that makes us free. Where the consciousness of the presence of God is not, there is bondage; there is sin, false appetite, disease, lack, limitation, and man's inhumanity to man. But where the consciousness of God is present-not where God is present-God is omnipresence. Where the consciousness of God is present, there is liberty, freedom, wholeness, completeness.

So carry the consciousness of God with you. Carry it up to heaven if you mount there, because you will not find God in heaven unless you carry Him there. Carry the consciousness of God to hell if your pathway leads you there. Carry the consciousness of the presence of God into disease, into death, into hospitals, into mental institutions. Carry the consciousness of the presence of God into your business..." -J. S. Goldsmith: The Government of Eden. Part One; The Courageous Choice Chapter 1: Governed by God or Governed by Man; Our Birthright of Freedom; Kindle: pp 23-24

 "Can you give me a mantra to use when I feel lost in my own depression and fear?..." - Emmauel Book II

"It isn't how many times you go away but how many times you come back. Because each time you come back you're coming back to the singularliry of the Name." - Krishna Das 

"I honestly believe discliple is freedom... when you have discipline you get what you want and when you don't have disclpine you don't get any of that you want. When you don't have discopine, anxiety sets in..." -Venus Williams 

You aren't a slave to maya, 

you are a servant of God. 

A Rememberer of God. 

A Bearer of God.

So don't worry,

you will get more than you need. 

You don't have it yet,

because you don't need it yet. 

(S)He's not finished yet, 

working on you, 

on your heart, 

changing you, 

and then everything will change, 

just like that. 

As fast you can become God Conscious, again.

Conscious of the Silence, again.

Conscious of your smile, again.

That's how fast Love turned it around.

You'll see. 

and then you'll believe. 

I Love You

I Am You

Today's Quotes:

"If you keep looking at the Sea (your worries, your problems, your obstacles) it will overwhelm you. Look instead at the One who can split it in half." - @relyonallah_

"Your presence is my rock, my sustenance, and my life. Help me to be present for your ever-present presence." - Isha Das

"Mary, woman of listening, open our ears; grant us to know how to listen to the word of your Son Jesus among the thousands of words of this world; grant that we may listen to the reality in which we live, to every person we encounter, especially those who are poor, in need, in hardship.

"Mary, woman of decision, illuminate our mind and our heart, so that we may obey, unhesitating, the word of your Son Jesus; give us the courage to decide, not to let ourselves be dragged along, letting others direct our life.

"Mary, woman of action, obtain that our hands and feet move "with haste" toward others, to bring them the charity and love of your Son Jesus, to bring the light of the Gospel to the world, as you did. Amen." -Concluding prayer of Pope Francis

"I gave birth to you through my qalb (innermost Heart)

I gave birth to you through my love.

I gave birth to you through my love from a place that exists within you.

That's the place where God abides.

That's the place where love abides

That's the place where truth abides.

That's the place where the soul, the life, abides.

That's the place where justice and

conscience abide.

That's the place where peace abides

You can reach that peace in the state of love." - Bawa Muhaiyaddeen 

 

 

You've been offered a new job! It's a different position...a witnessing one, a Loving one.   You will continue to work your present job, for now, but from now on, you'll do it from and AS "Loving Awareness", the awarness that is NOT a person. You'll  watch that body work. You'll watch it from and AS  the position of Joy.  And that Joy will radically transform the work that body does, how it serves, who it serves... this Joy will take shape as an entirely new life.  A life in Its own image.

I'm with you in and AS Love,

Today's Quotes:

"The real work is to feel the silence in everything that we do."
- Dr. Bruce Davis

"The love in the silence has specific plans for us. With our hearts open, the voice of the stillness inside us speaks clearly to trust this love, our true guide and employer. People who are tested in their work are being challenged in their belief in how present the silence is and how much it provides and cares for them. The struggle for survival is moved by the fear that we are all alone and the world is against us. The love in the quiet reminds us that we live in God’s midst, which is full of purpose and meaning and caring. It is through living in the monastery without walls that our worries about survival give way to trust in the silence. The sacred moments melt our fears, giving way to a practical life full of the joyous essence.

We are each called to a work that gives fulfillment. Fulfilling work separate from a life full of silence is not possible. We are called to work for the silence, in the silence, with the silence, and feel the love of the silence working through us."
-Dr. Bruce Davis,  Monastery Without Walls: Daily Life in the Silence

The deeper the self realization of a man, the more he influences the whole universe by his subtle spiritual vibrations, and the less he himself is affected by the phenomenal flux. " 
- Yogananda 

"Now that your worry has proved such an unlucrative business, why not find a better job?" 
-Hafiz

Today's Quotes:

"It's like Love calls and I answer."
-Kiyada via Love Charging Station  

"To materialize your wish, the universe has to change the things around you. Your body is also one of those things. Drop the idea of ownership over your body and consider it as just another part of the universe.  Otherwise either your wish will never materialize, or it will materialize in a distorted way."
-@Shunyasouls via IG

"RELAX!
Do not believe that you can either bring about the flow of God or prevent its flow. It is already full and complete within your being, awaiting your recognition of your fullness in Christ. Though your sins be scarlet, you are white as snow. Only do not go back; do not sin again; do not go back to the belief of a sense of separation from God. Do not go back to seeking your good from outside because after you have learned that the kingdom of God is within you and that you must let it flow up from the within to the without, if you then again go seeking it without, you create a deeper sense of separation than you ever had before. Do not do it! Do not go back! Do not go back! "Go, and sin no more." Do not go back to being hurt because somebody is not doing for you what you think he should: forgiving you, co-operating with you, or recognizing your virtues. Do not go back to that! Loose him! Forgive him and let him go! You are alone with your God. You are alone in your God-being. There are times when you are faced with the appearance of discord, inharmony, pain, lack, or limitation; and the temptation is to make a mental effort to indulge in vigorous thought-taking, affirmations, and denials in order to achieve peace and harmony. Now reverse that, and whenever there is an appearance of discord, relax. Make no mental effort.  Remember that your good does not come to you by might or by power, but by the very gentle spirit. It does not come to you by your striving, by your efforts, by your thought-taking: it comes to you from the depths of your being, in stillness, in quietness, and in confidence. You are not to try to achieve a healing. You are to be still and let the still small voice take over. You are to let the Spirit descend upon you. Rest. Rest, right now, in the midst of the disease, lack, discord, or inharmony that is disturbing you. Rest; relax! "My grace is sufficient for thee. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee." Why struggle, as if you had to?

Today's Quotes:

"Melodies from Heaven
Rain down on me, rain down on me
Melodies from Heaven
Rain down on me, rain down on me
Take me in Your arms and hold me close
Rain down on me, rain down on me
Fill me with Your precious Holy Ghost
Rain down on me
Rain down on me "
-Kirk Franklin, Melodies from Heaven

Excerpt from 'Journey with the Master' by Eva Bell Werber 'I Am Your Teacher' 

"If you get in touch with something bigger, the smaller things naturally evaporate. The source of life which is functioning within you is a far bigger phenomenon than the thought process."
-Sadhguru 

"It is necessary to close the eyes to all appearances, judging neither good nor bad, acknowledging only that it is, and in this way something rather like a vacuum is created within your own being, and into that place of stillness and peace Truth reveals Itself as the harmony unto the situation."
-Joel Goldsmith 

"I rest in the shelter of God's Loving Presence."
-Unity Church  

"When Christ wishes it... he receives within himself the Song sent into Him from the heavens, and His meditation is changed into Melody, and His Spirit lingers in marvelous Harmony."
-Richard Rolle, "The Fire of Love"

"It does not matter how urgent, threatening or overwhelming the problem seems to be nor its category-- health, wealth, harmony, peace, or justice; neither does it matter how close to destruction or even death the problem seems to leave you. When you seek God for God itself you are safe. You are protected from physical and material harm of any category even though the problem may appear to be overwhelming or even too late to resolve. Nothing is unresolved or too late in God."
-Don Mardak 

"One cannot handle the mind from the level of the mind. Just forcing positive thoughts on oneself is not enough. This is where knowing the secret of breath can transform lives."
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

"Let us never fear an image in our mind whether that image is a person, a disease, or even a bomb. That still small Voice in the midst of us is mightier than all of these, and if we can become so silent that that Voice can utter Itself—even if only as a deep breath or a sense of peace or warmth—this earth will be filled with the voice of God and the belief in two powers will be silenced."

***************************************

"When you are tempted, recognize that a crown is being prepared for you."-St. John Chrysostom

" Whatever is flowing out from our consciousness, that which is going forth in secret, is being shown to the world in outward manifestation." Joel S. Goldsmith

"The power of God flows out from you, and It enfolds everyone who comes within reach of your consciousness. No power flows to you: no good power and no bad power. All power is given unto you from God; it is within you; and it flows out from you, but you must open out a way for it to escape. You are the one who first must acknowledge: The kingdom of God is within me, and the kingdom of God is the all-power, the only power, the all-mighty power. Besides It there are no other powers: no material and no mental powers, for the only real power is the power of Spirit, for the power of Soul, the invisible power that is within me and is forever flowing from me to embrace this world. 

The letter of truth is made up of statements, quotations, and words, none of which, alone, is power. The only power is God itself. It is very much as if the shades on the windows were drawn, and we sat all afternoon talking about sunlight: what it is, what it will do, and how to avail ourselves of it. Then, after several hours, someone very skeptically remarked, "But, it's still dark here. After a...ll this talking about light, it is still dark," Yes, it is still dark, and dark it will remain until we roll up the shades. So it is that we can talk about truth; we can read truth; we can study truth; we can hear about truth and never once feel the light, never once feel the presence and power of God, unless and until we take the final step of opening consciousness to the very presence of God. When truth comes to our conscious awareness from within our own being, we have gone from the letter to the Spirit. That is the most important phase of the activity of truth in consciousness." -Joel Goldsmith: Practicing the Presence

"Our todays are determining our tomorrows." -Joel Goldsmith

"All things happen in the inner world long before they happen outside. Anything happening in the external world happened long ago in the internal world. You should know that it happened within you long before it happened outside you." - Swami Rama Path of Fire And Light, Vol 2 [pg 14]

 

The mandatory evacuation order ended last night and I'm heading home, listening to and from the Resonance all the way. 

We were very blessed! The water was knee deep just down the street and around the corner from us, but we didn't take any water or sustain any damage. Thank you for your prayers and kind notes! 

I Love You

I Am You

"Certainly, the state is superior to the words. Bawa tells us a parrot can recite words, but when he is in danger, he reverts to squawking. So learning words can help us understand a state to strive for, but ultimately through determination and persistence on the path, we must come to the state to know the Reality of the state. Does this make sense? So ultimately, we have to open the inner eye of wisdom which can see all the worlds that exist within Allah. (Bawa says there are 124,000 worlds!) It is there where we no longer see divisions between each of us. That is where you are feeling the love that is formless. That is a good place to be! Keep the outer eyes shut and reflect within!" - an email from teacher, Hamzabibi to Nikki

 

 

Your breakthrough is here. But first you must break through and feel Love.  You must focus on the Love, on (t)His Light. No matter what else you're feeling, no matter what else you're hearing, no matter what else you're seeing, you have to feel this Love anyway. You have to find God. Like, where's, Waldo? Every street, every restaurant, every seeming moment. Only you're not looking for that striped shirt, you're listening for The Feeling.  You listen for the Silence until the Love rushes in. And then the search never was.  There's only 'Him', again. Every time you hear the Silence, even just a little bit,  (t)here's only Love again.   I Love You,  I Am You, Nik

"We may ignore, but we can nowhere evade, the presence of God. The world is crowded with him. He walks everywhere incognito." -C.S. Lewis

"My world is just like yours. I see, I hear, I feel, I think, I speak and act in a world I perceive, just like you. But with you it is all, with me it is nothing. Knowing the world to be a part of myself, I pay it no more attention than you pay to the food you have eaten. While being prepared and eaten, the food is separate from you and your mind is on it; once swallowed, you become totally unconscious of it. I have eaten up the world and I need not think of it any more." - Nisargadatta Maharaj

"We are the sons of light and love, the sons of God, His children. As such we must have His qualities and His attributes of love, peace, and kindness towards all." - Elder Thaddeus of Vitovnica

"Jesus said, "If they ask you, 'Where do you come from?' tell them, 'We've come from the light, the place where light came into being by itself, [established] itself, and appeared in their image!'

"If they ask you, 'Is it you?' then say, 'We are its children, and we're chosen by our living Father.'

"If they ask you, 'What's the sign of your Father in you?' then say, 'It's movement and rest.!" -  Gospel of Thomas, Sayings of Jesus

"When we meditate, then our work happens easily. People are unaware of this secret. They think why to spend 20 - 30 minutes meditating, when that time can be spent to earn them money." -Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar

"Suddenly a small child ran across the road and the driver pulled the reins to stop the horse just in time to save the child.

Maharaji said, "Like that", pointing to the driver holding the reins. "As the mind will travel here, there, and all directions, you should always try to pull it to one point.

You should center it with continuous practice, then automatically it will go to the one point on which you want to meditate. Ultimately, after years, the mind becomes quiet." - Miracles of Love, Neem Karoli Baba

"Your outer experience is the direct manifestation of your inner state of consciousness. Therefore, the outer world can be no better to you than the degree of your present state of consciousness... (excerpt from 'I Stand on Holy Ground' by Joel Goldsmith)

"FORGIVENESS IS STILL.

To practice forgiveness is to not take things personally.

To practice forgiveness is to not take offence.

To practice forgiveness is to not be emotionally attached to what appears to be happening.

To practice forgiveness is to meditate.

To practice forgiveness is to abide in and as Non-judgemental Awareness.

To practice forgiveness is to have no guilty thoughts about the past and no anxious thoughts about the future.

To practice forgiveness is to look as a silent witness at these negative emotions as they arise.

To practice forgiveness is to no longer identify with these negative emotions that appear to create division and cause Self hatred..

To practice forgiveness is to no longer believe in the concept of a separate self and detach from the emotional effects of this belief held in the body.

To practice forgiveness is to end the illusion of separation and to dissolve into your True Self."-Pat Nolan

"Questioner: In what shape does He come?

Maharaj: According to your expectations.

If you happen to be unlucky and some saintly soul gives you a mantra for good luck and you repeat it WITH FAITH AND DEVOTION, your bad luck is bound to turn.

Steady faith is stronger than destiny.

Destiny is the result of causes, mostly accidental, and is therefore loosely woven. Confidence and good hope will overcome it easily.

Questioner: When a mantra is chanted, what exactly happens?

Maharai: The sound of mantra creates the shape which wil embody the Self.

The Self can embody any shape

- and operate through it.

After all, the Self is expressing itself in action - and a mantra is primarily energy in action. It acts on you, it acts on your surroundings.

Questioner: The mantra is traditional. Must it be so?

Maharaj: Since times immemorial a link was created between certain words and corresponding energies and reinforced by numberless repetitions.

It is just like a road to walk on.

It is an easv wav

- only faith is needed.

You trust the road to take you to your destination." - Nisargadatta Maharaj

"We can not pray in love and live in hate and still think we are worshipping God." - AW Towser

 

to return Home

to the Name

to the Silence

to our Love 

We received mandatory evacuation orders yesterday and had to be off the island by 7pm eastern. I picked the kids up from school, and we quickly threw stuff in stuff and loaded it up, before driving smooth across the state through green pastures and towards calmer waters (and my sister, Syl). I write this from a bed in a cute airbnb in Lake Worth, Florida, the same one I booked last year for the same reason. It's becoming something like a tradition. Gia gets to spend her 13th birthday NOT in school (school is closed for the next couple of days), and Max is playing by the pool. Mom is sipping coffee. And I'm recording, writing, editing, Loving... You.

All signs point Home.

They point Here.

No matter where Here appears to be,

you can relax... more.  

Nik  

p.s. How do you 'treat' a hurricane spiritually? Many would say, 'it isn't there', or, 'it's an illusion'. But you have to take it a step further. The ocean isn't either, or earth, or you, or me. Only Love is here. And all of this is done in Silence, as Silence.

"Sometimes the sign isn't the rainbow you asked for, but the way it made you feel when you saw it." - Seyada Noir @seyadanoirpoetry via IG 

"Bawa Muhatyaddeen: Yes. I am very old in years. My teacher would not be dwelling within the world. At any moment, in any eventuality that it is needed, the appropriate reply will be given, whenever I ask. It would be very, very difficult for everyone to obtain such a teacher as this. One must have the benevolence of God to receive this. As for my speaking, I cannot speak. The one who wishes to speak must be the one who speaks. If it is wished to speak of God, then it is God who must speak. If it is wished to speak of the prophets, it is the prophets themselves who must speak. If it is Gabriel (A.S.) who must be spoken of, then it is Gabriel (A.S.), himself, who must speak. And if they do speak, we must have the wisdom to understand what they say. If Jesus (A.S.) is to be spoken of, it is Jesus (A.S.) who must speak; if it is Moses (A.S.) who is spoken of, it is Moses (A.S.) who must come and speak. Then if there is any fault in what is said, if there is any mistake, then the fault relates to them. Also if there is any gain in it, it is theirs. ...It all relates to them. It is their responsibility. If the Prophet Muhammad (Sal.) is to be spoken of, it is he, himself, who must speak. Whether it be Adam, Noah, David, or Abraham, peace be upon them all, they themselves must come and speak.

Each one, whoever it be, must come and speak of himself. The words come like sound passing through a microphone. I have nothing to do with it; I am nothing. This is the way each of them speaks and tells his story. I do not want the praise or the blame.

We must complete the duty that we have come to perform. This is the way. If you do it like this, it is correct.

"God will not give you a message.  For God to give u a message,.,God has to be far away from you.  God is closer than your breath.  How can he give you a message? -Gurudev H.H.SriSri Ravi Shankar

"The source of all comfort, is silence. The source of all discomfort, is a single thought." -Pat Nolan

"The eternal father spoke only one word and he spoke it in an eternal silence. And that isn't silent; we hear it." - Father Keating

"It is the Divine Presence that gives value to life. This Presence is the source of all peace, all joy, all security. Find this Presence in yourself and all your difficulties will disappear." - Mirra Alfassa

"You may have everything that the world can offer, but if you don't have peace, serenity, silence, ecstasy, you will still remain poor." -Osho

"Apart from Love, everything passes away.

The way to heaven is in your heart.

Open and lift the wings of Love!

When Love's wings are strong, you need no ladder."

Affirm: "I no longer live by effort but by Grace

I inherit my GoOD. 

I do not labor for It,

struggle for It,

or strive for It,

I inherit It. 

I am inherting It."*

Inherit It now by shifting your focus. 

Give your attention to that space you want to inherit, 

to that thing you want to inherit, 

this Feeeling that becomes the things that you want to inherit, 

no matter what else comes,

no matter who else comes,

no matter what thought,

what doubt comes,

no matter what mood washes over you,

you stay in this space, 

in this posture 

with this smile,

because that is the fastest way to change absolutely everyting.

*"Where I am, God is. I need never fear; I need never be afraid. This Presence a with me. This I is within me. Without this realized Presence, you are the man of earth who is not under the law of God, and you do not receive the things of God. It is only when you come to the absolute conviction that the Spirit of God is with you and that the Spirit of God goes where you go that you are fulfilling the promise that those who have the Spirit of God are children of God, heirs of God, "joint-heirs with Christ" to all the heavenly riches. But whether or not you acknowledge or recognize It, the Spirit of God is always and ever with you, even though It is of no avail to you, because it is only through your awareness of It, your consciousness of Its presence, that It functions. The Spirit of God is within me and dwells in me. The Spirit of God goes before me to "make the crooked places straight, " to prepare mansions for me. The Spirit of God has ordained me. Only when you have come into this agreement within yourself do you become the child of God. Then you no longer live by effort, but by Grace. You then inherit your good. You do not labor for it, struggle for it, strive for it: you inherit it." -Joel Goldsmith

"Be anxious for nothing." -Philippians 4:6

Be anxious for Nothing... this No Thing beyond everything is our only real desire. :) 

"Pain and suffering have come into your life, but remember pain, sorrow, suffering are but the kiss of Jesus - a sign that you have come so close to Him that He can kiss you." -St. Teresa of Calcutta

"Be a lotus flower. Be in the water, and do not let the water touch you. Be afraid of nothing." -Osho

I got stuck on a roller coaster this weekend. Side ways for a bit, going backwards in slow motion for a bit, stalled for nearly an hour. It gave me plenty of time to practice seeing through it all! 

"What I think is that a good life is one hero journey after another. Over and over again, you are called to the realm of adventure, you are called to new horizons. Each time, there is the same problem: do I dare? And then if you do dare, the dangers are there, and help also, and the fulfillment or the fiasco. There's always the possibility of a fiasco. But there's also the possibility of bliss." - Joseph Campbell

Ask yourself, "what am I giving right now?"

and feel the quality of the moment change. 

The atomstphere lightens,

your heart lightens,

like you're being drawn up and away from your problems, 

entering ino this new earth where there are no problems, 

just appearances of problems,

of stalled roller coasters,

of not enough time,

not enough money,

not enough attention,

not enough love. 

Can you give Beauty for ashes in those moments?

Can you give the Oil of Joy instead of mourning?

Or a Garment of Praise instead of the spirit of despair?

That's the challenge today and every seeming moment,

whatever is presented,

can you remember to chant His Name?

Can you take the Name of God?

Can you remember Her Love?

Can you give It?

can you feel It? 

I Love You

I  Am You

"To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness, that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be glorified.” - Isaiah 61:3

"The following passage comes from the Gospel of Matthew in the Holy Scriptures, and it has mystified, confused, and been misunderstood by many people over the centuries.

"Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him."

You have to admit that when you read the passage it appears unjust, as it seems to be saying that the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. But there's a riddle to be solved in this passage, a mystery to uncover, and when you know it a new world will have opened up for you.

The answer to the mystery that has eluded so many for centuries is in one hidden word: gratitude.

"Whoever has gratitude will be given more, and he or she will have an abundance. Whoever does not have gratitude, even what he or she has will be taken from him or her."

By the revelation of one hidden word, a cryptic text is made crystal clear. Two thousand years have passed since those words were recorded, but they are as true today as they ever were: if you don't take the time to be grateful you will never have more, and what you do have you will lose. And the promise of the magic that will happen with gratitude is in these words: if you're grateful you will be given more, and you will have an abundance!

From the Koran the promise of gratitude is equally emphatic:

"And (remember) when God proclaimed: 'If you are grateful I will give you more; but if you are ungrateful verily my punishment is indeed severe.'"

It doesn't matter what religion you follow, or whether you're religious or not, these words from the Holy Scriptures and the Koran apply to you and your life. They are describing a fundamental law of science and of the Universe." - Rhonda Byrnes, The Magic

"If there is not enough love in your life, it is only because you are not loving enough, and that means that you are not tapping the infinite source of love within your own being. Let that love flow out: Love this world; love the sun, the moon, and the stars; love the plants and the flowers; love all the people. Let the love flow. That love which flows out from the infinite storehouse within you will be the bread of life which will come back to you." -Joel Goldsmith

Your ears are hearing me. But what is your Soul hearing? What is My Soul saying that these words can't express? You can feel what My Soul is saying because we have one Soul.  Whatever Name of God you choose to chant, chant it. That's how you change your life. Chanting means changing,  because chanting means witnessing. Because it throws you back into that Witness, the bodiless one, the desireless one, the. Invisible one, the Christed one, the only one,  that one solver that one healer,  that spoke through Jesus and said 'rise, take up thy bed and walk.' Pick up this knowledge, that there's only One God, that there's only one power.  You pick up that knowledge and in that instant, you rise above the appearance of problems. Above maya.  You'll See.    I Love You I Am You nik

"HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS? TRY PRAYING THIS WAY ALLEN WHITE

One of our readers asked this question: If there are multiple appearances, is the intention to get clarity one at a time or all inclusive? The third chapter of my first book, God is All, opens with the story of Alice Ross. Her cheating husband left her with two sick children and a sister strung out on drugs. She's unemployed and about to lose her home. Her friends tell her, "Don't worry, just pray about it, but Alice doesn't know where to start. She thinks to herself, " have so many problems, I don't know what to pray about first." Many people seem to be in Alice's situation. There are so many problems; they don't know where to start. When they focus their prayers on one situation, the others get worse. In faith, they soldier on, but it seems like a losing battle. How do you solve this problem? How do you pray when it appears you are drowning in problems?  Years ago, I was working on a challenging piece by Chopin. The fingers must move up and down the keyboard at a dizzying speed. There were many challenging sections. I thought the problems were a weak fourth finger, lack of finger independence, and a lazy thumb. I worked for weeks on these problems, but nothing improved. Frustrated, I sat down at the keyboard to examine my approach more carefully. I made a startling discovery. I had only one problem - wrist rotation. Once I corrected that, I was flying up and down the keyboard faster than a cheetah chasing a gazelle. The point of this story is that in every case where it seems like you have many problems, you have only one. When you correct the one, you resolve them all. The problem, obviously, is not wrist rotation, but it is THE BARBARIC BELIEF THAT THERE IS A PRESENCE AND POWER OTHER THAN GOD. When you think you are drowning in a sea of problems, there is only one problem - the belief that there is another presence, power, or activity other than God. Do you want to handle all of your problems with a single prayer? Pray to discern God's Presence as the entirety of your Life. Your prayer could look like this (using your own words, of course): "God let me discern your Presence in and as every area of 'my' Life." You can shorten this by praying, "God, all I want is you. Reveal Thyself." Just be mindful that you are not addressing a God outside of you. Never mind the seeming dualism in this prayer. That will be handled with the realization of God's Presence. Now you may be wondering how often to pray this prayer. The answer is simple: until God reveals Itself in a clear and unmistakable way. The first time you try this and your problems are resolved, you'll probably think, "It's like magic. I didn't even have to think about my problems and they all disappeared." From then on, you'll never have to worry about how many problems you seem to have. All that matters is a clear realization that God is All." - Allen White 

I catch God peeking at me,
from around every corner,
from behind every person, situation, and thought,
smiling at me,
ready to be found,
so He can be It,
and I can know Him as All. 

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"Young children, who have not yet accumulated a lot of stress, exhibit an abundance of energy, enthusiasm, profound joy, and unconditional love. These qualities that manifest spontaneously in an innocent child demonstrate the truest, unadulterated essence of humanness. We are all born with a wellspring of love and joy.  These qualities are not just emotions, they are the essence of our existence. The truth of our essence cannot change, it can only be covered over and hidden from us."
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

"Your Name is Everything.
Hare Rãma.
It should be heard, spoken, sung, thought.
And yet ultimately it is unheard, unspoken, unsung,
unthought.
The mantra is the bridge to this unknown.
-@gaieasanskrit via IG

"Really, if only you have this faith in the Name, you need not struggle to secure the chance to detail to me your desires and wants. I will fulfill them even without your telling me. Have the Nam bright and clear on your tongue, in your mind; and the form symbolised by it before your eye and mental vision-nothing can harm you."
-Shirdi Sai Baba 

"As Consciousness is Lifted into Awareness, there is nothing but Harmony. All Life is of God, Infinite Love. Go right to God and stay there."
-Al Denninger

...reminding you to cross that bridge from B.C. to A.C.,
from before chanting, to after chanting,
and from head chanting, to Heart chanting.

Here, is Love.
 
This is the something Sacred that's born every moment.
And your awareness of It births new experiences in the world, every moment.
You have to stay aware of this unbroken  connection
between the Invisible and the visible,
between the Kingdom and the world,
between God and You.
 
Heart Chanting is the bridge. 
 
I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"before chanting to after chanting!"
-Jessika via the Love Charging Station 

"MAHARISHI : ... I was in Norway - don't remember which church in Norway - and then after the lecture boys and girls gathered around me and said "I like your lecture" and I say "What did you like about the lecture?" "And he said, "You said that life is bliss, and we heard in church that life is misfortune and you must suffer." "And we're afraid to go to church because we're sad to hear that life suffers, and you have to suffer."

I said life is happiness. You just have to enjoy it. But I told you how to enjoy. If you are not connected to the creative intelligence, which is within you, you will suffer. I said the teaching of the church is not that you must suffer, but the teaching of the Church is that if you don't study the kingdom of heaven within you will surely suffer. (laugh)

So better research the kingdom of heaven within then tell the church people that they are right and now start enjoying life. I said the doctrine is fine but you have to understand the doctrine. If you don't know the kingdom of heaven, you shall suffer. Many young boys and girls started meditation and became happy. Just a message that life is bliss and there is no need for suffering. This information is just so uplifting……. the kingdom of heaven within."
-Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Audio, 1964

"I am using words just to create silent gaps.  The words are secondary; the silences between those words are primary. This is simply a device to give you a glimpse of meditation. And once you know that it is possible for you, you have traveled fare
in the direction of your own being." 
-Osho 

"Being "in the gap- can be disorienting + even scary.  Nothing to hold on to, no sense of direction, not even a hint of what choices possibilities might lie ahead.  But it was just this state of pure potential that existed before the universe was created.  Relax into the no-thingness; fall into this silence between the words.. watch the gap between the outgoing and incoming breathing, and treasure each empty moment of the experience.  Something sacred is about to be born. 
-Osho 

"The river that flows in you also flows in me."
-Kabir 

I close my eyes all the time so I can See

so I can Feel the next step, 

which is just this same step over and over again- 

Love

Love

Love

Not the word, the Feeling. 

And you give thanks for the Feeling, 

because you know as long as you have This,

God can see you but maya (the illusion) can't.  

Lack can't touch you. 

Sickness can't touch you. 

Trouble can't touch you here. 

Not the Real You.

Not the Real Thing. 

"A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord your refuge, the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, no scourge come near your tent. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone." -Psalm 91:7-12

I Love You

I Am You

"The Universe never speaks to you using words. Yet, you always feel the message clearly. You can feel what the right decision is. You can feel what's best for you. You can feel when someone who isn't around is thinking of you. The language of life does not use words, charts, or graphs. It comes from within, and if you had any idea how unbelievably powerful you are, you'd never go outside of yourself for reasoning again. Listen from within. Speak from within. Feel from within." - via @sourcemessages via IG

"no matter how loud life gets, silence is always present"- @draino via IG 

"People should learn how to just be there, doing nothing... It's not so easy to just be. If you can be happy, relaxed, and smiling when you're not doing something, you're quite strong. Doing nothing brings about quality of being, which is very important. So doing nothing is actually something." -Thich Nhat Hanh

"Just for now. Find a corner of your soul that feels good. Rest there." -Jaiya John

"You do not have to be good.

You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.

You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves." -Mary Oliver

"Of all that is material and all that is spiritual in this world, know for certain that I am both its origin and dissolution. O conqueror of wealth (Arjuna), there is no truth superior to Me. Everything rests upon Me, as pearls on a thread." (Bg. 7.6,7)

Krsna is easily visible, but He is only visible to those who are devoted to Him. For those who are envious, foolish or unintelligent, He obscures Himself with His veil of mãyã:

"I am never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My eternal creative potency (maya); thus the deluded world knows Me not, who am unborn and infallible." (Bg. 7.25)

This eternal creative potency, or yoga-maya, which obscures Krsna to the unintelligent, is dissolved by love. This is the verdict of Brahma-samhita." - Matchless Gift by Srila Prabhupada

Love.

Love. 

Love.  

And when you least expect it, 

that's when it'll work out.* 

I Love you

I Am you

"Jesus I trust in you." - St. Faustina, Divine Mercy 

"Jon, I  share your feeling that the Way of Christ is not followed exclusively by Christians. And certainly when Maharajji said "Christ lives in the hearts of many" and to some he said, "Christ is your Gurur"- he was speaking of the Real Thing." - 1976 letter to Jon Seskevich from Ram Dass

"I  do not know why there is this difference,

but I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait.

When you do enter your room, you will find that the long wait has done you some kind of good which you would not have had otherwise.

But you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light: and of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house.

And above all you must be asking which door is the true one;

not which pleases you best by its paint and paneling." - C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

"Being angry is like beating yourself up from the inside." - Sadhguru

"Let July be July.

Let August be Augus And let yourself just be even in the uncertainty.

You don't have to fix everything.

You don't have solve everything.

And you can still find peace and grow in the wild of changing things." - Morgan Harper Nichols

I turned the lights out so you could see. 

It's dark right now.

Not as a punisiemt but as a gift, 

so you won't be distracted by what doesn't matter. 

The world feels unbearlby crushing,  

so you can turn to what is Light, 

what's right Here behind you.

I am in front of you too, but you can't see Me for all of your made up problems. 

So what's easiest at first is to close those eyes,

and look back,

look within,

and stay within, 

until you feel Me. 

When you came into this appearance,

you felt Me first. 

You felt real Joy first. 

R E M E M B E R. 

That's the only 'thing' that you desire,

that's all you're looking for. 

My Light. 

That first Light you saw when you came here, 

the Light before the light. 

The Sound before the sounds. 

R E M E M B E R. 

I Love You

I Am You

"There is one

and only one meditation to see God:

the One who prays to God must be God.

The One who does God's duty must be God.

The One who wants to do His duty must be Him in order to do it.

The One who wants to worship God must be God, and then perform worship.

God must worship God.

Only God can see God.

If he remains separate and

God remains separate, he cannot see God."

-Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, The Map of the Journey to God 

 

"His resonance, His explanation,

His sound, His vibration is what comes.

Each sound is His resonance,

His vibration;

it comes as rays of grace, arul kadirgal, from Him.

This is the same sound and vibration that Gabriel[A.S.]

brought to each of the prophets as Commandments and Laws.

These are the sounds sent down by God to the Maygnana Qutb[Ral.], to those who have the Wisdom of the Qutbiyyat.

In the world, these sounds come

to that kind of true Guru, unmaiyana Guru, who has received the Wisdom of the Qutbiyyat

and the grace of God." - -Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, The Map of the Journey to God 

 

"You feel often a restlessness and sense of aloneness. This comes to you that you may turn to the God-Mother within you and find completeness. More and more shall you learn the valuelessness of the outer and the great Power of the Inner. Do not let these days of seeming restlessness disturb you. I know it is hard, but you must learn that then of all times is the time to be still. Though you may seem not to hear My Voice, yet know It is speaking to you through the silent depths of your soul and that soon the shafts of My Sunlight shall penetrate through the fog of the outer mind and My Peace shall be in your heart. So never fail at such a time to contact Me, for of what value can I be to you unless I can serve when you need Me most?" - Eva Bell Werber, Quiet Talks with the Master

The one that’s waiting for that text back

That call back

That opportunity

That contract

That check

That viral moment

That come up

That sign from God.

That’s not you.

Keep affirming: "That's not Me."

You are God’s Sign. This Silence is His Message.  

Hear It and relax those shoulders back into the Silence.

Relax that dis-ease, that tension, that neediness, back into the Silence.

You don’t need anything.

You have Everything.

And when you know you do,

you’ll see It.

I Love You

I Am You
