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

When you're chanting Ram, or Hare Krishna, or only Love is here, or Chisthood, or Peace, or thank you, or la ilaha ilAllah-- whatever you're chanting in that moment,

it's like you're a wave chanting "Water, Water, Water". 

You've always been Water. 

You were Water before you waved,

and you'll be water after you wave.

You came from God and you will return to God,

and all while you're here, you are God.

You are Love. 

And so you are just chanting your real Name,

you're feeling your real Self,

the Resonance.

The Essence.

Home. 

"You came from Love

You will return to Love

And all while you’re (appearing) here, you are Love."

I Love You

I Am You

nik

p.s. as for the title question- does it work? It works perfectly to reveal what you already are. 

"Always chant Hare Krishna mantra, be in touch with Krishna in so many ways, then you are secure. Maya will not be able to touch you and if we can someway or other pass our days, and at the time of death, if we remember Krishna, then the whole life is successful." - Srila Pranhupada 

"Meaning is made up in human minds, sound is the essence of creation" - Sadhguru 

"According to Thich hat Hanh, we are meant to be water:

"It's like a wave on the surface of the ocean

She may be very fearful because she gets caught in notions

Like, beginning, ending, going up, going down More or less beautiful than the other waves

But if the wave is aware that she is water And then,

she loses all this kind of fear

Going up she is joyful

Going down she is joyful

Because she knows that she is water

She is not only a wave.

She is also water.

So water represents the ultimate water represents god water represents Nirvana" - Thich Nhat Hanh

I am not only a wave

l am water" - Regina Brown

"If something has been written for you, you're going to walk right into it on the path you think you've taken to avoid it." - @brokenpearl via IG 

"The material world is a house of correction meant to reform my tendency to remain absent in our relationship. The only purpose of the material world is to teach me to connect and be present in  my identiy as Krishna's servant." - Sacinandana Swami, The Living Name

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

What do you feel like you need to disconnect from God from, to be good at?

A lot of people disconnect when they get into relationship

They lose themselves in the world

In the seeming other

In the seeming job

But you can’t break the connection

You can ignore it

You can overlook it

Until Maya does what it does

And it startles you

Or hurts you

Stings you

Pushes you back

Into recognition of what you truly are

It turns you towards the only thing that can make you happy

The one thing that didn’t come, so it can’t go

It’s right here

Waiting for you to hear.

This is the foundation of my spiritual practice. Nothing is worth stopping the practice for. 

I Love You

I Am You

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

I chant Love.

Not the word, but the feeling. 

When a desire comes, 

I chant Love with my Heart. 

I feel GoOD and by the time I remember the desire, 

the fulfillment of it is looking at me. 

I Love You

I Am You

Wake up,

out of thought, 

out of desire, 

and tell me where that problem is.

That’s the end of the world as you know it.

This Silence is Heaven.

You were overlooking It.

"I and the Father are one." - John 10:30

"If you completely cut off all thinking for one minute, then you're the Buddha for one minute." -@soulisgod via IG 

"Everytime you notice doubt, LOVE."- Nik

"If you are in an empty desert and no one is there, not even demons, ghosts, devils or human beings, a place where all the animals have been destroyed by you [people], if you must move to a place where you have no land, no gold, no food or water, in that place,the Wisdom of the Guru will be honey, food and water for you. It will be like this, for everything that happens. If you have to cross the ocean of maya, it will become a ship. As you go fur-ther, it will be a compass to show you the way. As you proceed even further, it will be a Light to take you to the shore. It will be like this in your life. Until you reach God, your Father, it will become a series of helpful tools for you, doing whatever is necessary during the journey." - Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

Feel My hand on you.

Feel My light in you.

And have courage. 

When you’re here looking at Me inside,

looking at this Silence,

this Space,

you’ll know My Grace never stops.

"No one can take your Place, your Peace, or your Promise."*

Because there is no one but Me,

sitting (t)here as you.

Today, keep my eyes open,

and Love evertything We see.

"This is my command -be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." -Joshua 1:9 NLT

"To say the Word la ilaha and to experience bliss, to say the Word illAllahu and to have it fill and overflow from your heart,

to say the Word la ilaha and to push the world away, to say the Word illAllahu and to bring it down into your heat, to experience bliss,

to say it without saying it,

to raise and lower it breath after breath,

to say it without saying it,

to raise and lower it breath after breath,

until the liberation in the Word illAllahu resonates alone,

until the liberation in the Word illAllähu resonates alone,

until it shines as Itself within Itself, until it shines as Itself within Itself,

expanding, resplending, expanding, resplending, merging with that One Being who is illAllahu, merging with that One Being who is illAllahu-that is the only meditation that completely fills my heart, that is the only meditation that completely fills my heart." - Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

"Enjoy in peace the Joy God is giving you, without worrying about the future.

He is reserving for you, I am sure, new graces and many consolations." -St. Thérèse of Lisieux

"The state of silence is invaluable to you. Let the form of divine luminous wisdom grow from within the state of inner silence. Scrutinize yourself as the consciousness within that form of divine luminous wisdom. It will appear as One. That form is that. And That is you. That state is the One, shining as the all-pervading, radiant Effulgence." - Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

Today we begin,
to stop.
Just for Now.
Whenever you get the urge to leap into unnecessary business,
pause and Hear.
Pause and Chant. 
Pause and Love.
As humans we're all addicted to something,
so crave this Pause.
Worship this Scintillating Silence.
Devour It.
Love It.
Until Grace wakes you up as It.

I Love you,

Today's Quotes:

"There is a worm addicted to eating grape leaves. Suddenly, he wakes up, call it grace, whatever, something wakes him, and he is no longer a worm. He is the entire vineyard, and the orchard too, the fruit, the trunks, a growing wisdom and joy that does not need to devour."
-Rumi

-There's a great silence that is listening to the thoughts."
-Adyashanti

"We are all addicts. All addiction has spiritual roots. The alcoholic, when they're drinking the beer, what they're really trying to do is drink unconditional Love. And when they're smoking  a cigarette, they're trying to inhale unconditional Love, the cigarette, the chocolate the sex might give you a taste of unconditional Love but it doesn't last. That's why you see the seeking mechanism can't provide the unconditional love that we seek, because the unconditional love that we seek is actually who we already are."
-Jeff Foster

I've read and LOVE and highly recommend all of his beuatiful books, but this one is a great place to start if you feel like stopping :) -- The Way of Rest

But this one, 'An Extraordinary Absence' was one of the books that kicked off my journey more than 10 years ago! I read it and re-read it and now that I'm remember it, will be revisiting! Enjoy!

Keep finding Him by waking up in every appearance and asking,
"Is this here, or is God here?"
"Is that problem here, or is God here?"
"Is this worrying thought here, or is God here?"
"Am I here, or is He here?"
"What is 'here'?' 
Love.
Only That.

Today's Quotes:

"Our Father (God) who art in Heaven (eternal reality), hallowed be thy Name." Prayer is the remembrance of the Divine Name. The Kingdom is come, the Will is done, when the Name is remembered."
-Jay Matthews via Quora 

"When God wishes to help, He lets us weep. 
Wherever water flows life nourishes. 
Wherever tears fall, Divine mercy is shown."
-Rumi

"Nothing can make you happy until Nothing can make you happy."
-Jeff Foster 

"The Light of God surrounds you,
The Love of God enfolds you,
The Power of God protects you,
The presence of God watches over you,
Where ever you are God is,
And all is well."
-Ray Rarmilo via FB

"I am pleased with you, My Child.  Allow yourself to become fully aware of My pleasure shining upon you. You don't have to perform well in order to receive My Love. In fact, a performance focus will pull you away from Me, toward some sort of Pharisaism. This can be a subtle form of idolatry: worshiping your own good works. It can also be a source of deep discouragement when your works don't measure up to your expectations.Shift your focus from your performance to My radiant Presence. The Light of My Love shines on you continually, regardless of your feelings or behavior. Your responsibility is to be receptive to this unconditional Love.  Thankfulness and trust are your primary receptors. Thank Me for everything; trust in Me at all times. These simple disciplines will keep you open to My loving Presence.
- @jesuscalling.daily via IG 

"Where we see waves we have
a God who makes highways.
Where we see dead ends, we have
a God who makes a Red Sea Road.
The brave trust Him unwaveringly
and know that it's okay if things
feel kinda unsteady when your
heart's fixed on Him because:
Faith feels like waves.
And your heart takes a deep breath,
smiles wide, takes its own wild
leap of faith and believes:
The brave ignore waves."
-Ann Voskamp

"I  was a black ant,
on a black stone,
on a dark night,
but God has found me."
-Sufi Proverb

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

You are the Annointed One. 

The Christed One.

Created for the ssake of Love.*

Surrender...

the one that thinks she needs to surrender. 

Feeling Love, 

radiating Love, 

beaming It. 

It's always happening, just recognize It. 

Simply recognizing- 

that's real surrender.

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

The signs are everywhere, 

telling you to look up,

to not blink or you'll miss It, 

to feel Him calling your Name. 

That call feels like Love. 

It may sound like a ringing,

or a flute,

drawing you. 

You’ve been making decisions, 

making moves,

doing things,

setting boundaries,

that when you stop and think about,

you worry about, 

you rethink about,

you overthink about,

but they couldn’t have been any other way.

And soon you will see why.

You are treading the path of the Saints.

That’s what you’re hearing.

That’s what you're repesonding to.

That’s what you’re moving to.

The Rhythm the world knows not of.

"He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it isn’t looking for Him and doesn’t recognize Him. But you know Him, because He lives with you now and later will be in you." - John 14:17

I Love You

I Am You

"It will not come by waiting for it. It will not be a matter of saying 'here it is' or 'there it is.' Rather, the kingdom of the father is spread out upon the earth, and men do not see it." - Gospel of Thomas Saying 113 

"Everything is dancing.

Everything is alive.

Everything announces what you are.

Everything announces your own true nature.

Everything speaks back to you and reflects back to you what you are, the Essence itself, whether you call it Life, Buddha nature, Spirit, God.

Everything speaks that back to yourself when you can see it." - Adyashanti 

"You dropped the desperation. You dropped the need. The way you're pursuing your goals now is different than any other point in your life. In the past, you needed to establish a foundation. Which came with a ton of resistance. Now, you're exploring all the different paths to abundance. You're doing it openly, with joy, and excitement. The energy shifted, and so have your results. This is a new day. A new chapter. A new way. You're moving from a space of inner alignment." - @SourceMessages via IG

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

I’m holding this Flower out for you all the time,

Right (t)here under your nose.

Breathe It in, sweetly.

Breathe that GoOD 'Future' in, 

that Healing in, 

that unending Joy in. 

It’s always, already in. 

But this just helps you keep your eye on It :) 

When your 'I' is on It, then your mind is silent. 

And when your mind is silent, 

aware of this Silence,

aware of the non-mind, 

It happens. 

“You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.” ― Franz Kafka

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

“The musicians have gone, yet the Sufis still listen…” -

When my voice stops you’re still listening,

not even for my next word,

but for the Love that wells up in the Silence, 

the Peace that surpasses your understanding. 

Affirm: The Silence is the sound of God.

This Silence is the Voice of God. 

It’s speaking to me. 

It’s Loving me. 

It’s giving me peace.

And comfort.

This silence is My real voice.

It’s My real mind.

It’s My real existence.

And It feels good.  

The secret to life in 4 words- Only Love is Here. 

"The Peace that God gives us where our focus is on him is uexplainable." - @TrustGodBro

"The Lord says that a man who really understands knows that this whole world is his own manifestation. This whole world is the manifestation of the Self. This whole world is the sport of God. When one understands that God pervades everywhere then no matter where his mind goes, no matter how fickle it is, no matter whether he attains the state of samadhi or not, still he has God, he has liberation.

Jagatguru Shankaracharya, the Guru of the world, wrote many, many books. And after he had written all those books he said, "Now I will tell you the essence of millions of book in half a word: Consciousness alone is the truth.

There is no such thing as world or maya. They don't exist.

There are no individual beings. There is only the play of Supreme Brahman, and it is that supreme consciousness which plays as the world." - Baba's farewell 1976 talk from South Fallsburg Photo: Baba in Kashmir, 1982

"Has it ever occured to you that you are seeking God with his eyes." - Adyashanti

"You must become nobody. Only a person that is nobody can abide as Self/God." -Ramana Maharshi

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

Whatever it is you think you don’t have,

You do. 

And even if it isn’t as obvious as some coins on you that you forgot were there,

It’s (t)here AS that feeling of Love, 

in that smile that you’re beginning to remember,

in that slowing down...

we have to slow down a bit so our life can pick up,

so that things can take off

in the direction we know we’re headed.

Slow down. 

You’re already (t)here.

"I am so close, I may look distant. 

So completely mixed with you, I may look separate. 

So out in the open, I appear hidden. 

So silent, because I am constantly talking with you." -Rumi

PSA: There's no self (t)here that you have to learn how to love. 

You just have to learn how to receive God's Love where that body appears to be. 

There's only one step: RELAX. 

Relax into Perception. 

Relax into Reception. 

Relax,

Love.

I Am You

"He is doing a new thing with me as His co-artisan,  and because I have turned my ears to hear the simple sweetness so often disregarded, the entire world looks & sounds everlastingly different." - @wildflowerpages via IG

"If you want to conquer the anxiety of life, live in the moment, live in the breath." -Amit Ray

"Abstract Sound is called saute surmadi by the Sufis. All space is filled with it... It was the saute surmadi the sound of the ab-stract, which Mohammed heard in the cave of Gar-e-Hira. Moses heard this very sound on Mount Sinai... It was heard by Christ when his Heavenly Father manifested to him in the wilderness. Shiva heard the same anahad nad during his samadhi in the cave of the Himalayas. The flute of Krishna is symbolic of the same sound. This sound is the source of all revelation to the Masters. Whoever has followed the strains of this sound has forgotten all earthly distinctions. The sound of the abstract is always going on within, around and about man. Man does not hear it as a rule, because his consciousness is entirely centered in his material exist-ence... In comparison to it, the sounds of the earth are like that of a whistle to a drum. When the abstract sound is audible all other sounds become indistinct to the mystic." - Julian Johnson, The Path of the Masters 

"In the inner stillness where meditation leads, the Spirit secretly anoints the soul and heals our deepest wounds." -St. John of the Cross

Do you eat more when you're down (aka not allowing yourself to feel Love)? Do you seek out new experiences, new relationships, new distractions instead of stopping, and FEELING? 

Remember- 

Love is your Name. 

Give yourself to your Self. 

I Love You

I Am You

Nik 

"You do not have to earn Love." - Sharon Salzberg

"Dear God,

I am so afraid to open my clenched fists!

Who will I be when I have nothing left to hold on to?

Who will I be when I stand before you with empty hands?

Please help me to gradually open my hands and to discover that I am not what I have, but what you want to give me." -Henri Nouwen

"Love is my true identity.

Selflessness is my true self.

Love is my true character.

Love is my name." -Thomas Merton

"God has a way of stripping everything that we think we need, and He leaves just Himself to us. It is never an easy thing to be in that situation; one day praising God for His goodness and the next crying out to Him to make Himself known in the storm. When we have rooted ourselves to a safe place, God tends to rip us out of the ground and plant us somewhere new. We may hate it, revile Him for it, and even reject Him for a time. But when we look back, we will see that we needed to be uprooted, to be changed from that place that was slowly killing us.

God is the master gardener, He knows all His plants by name, He delicately removes the bad weeds and waters the good seeds. He does what needs to be done, so that one day we can look back and see the majesty that He was doing. You are being made into a beautiful thing, something that God loves to watch grow. So the next time you are taken out of your comfort zone, know that Christ is slowly making you something great, because He is doing it; and He is the greatest thing." - T.B.LaBerge

"Our hearts must be made resonant.

Look at the birds and the winged creatures, Come here, do not lie in your beds!

There is work that needs to be done at four o'clock.

We must worship our Beloved.

We must know our Father.

We must know our Original Father, our Adi Pida.

We must reach the Light.

We must attain a life of liberation.

We must attain a life without illness.

We must live without troubles.

We must regard other lives as our own.

All the lives must pray to God." -M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, Come to Prayer: The Wake-up Song, pp 6-7.

"If a person is eating more it is a symptom of a certain undercurrent. Food is always a substitute for love. People who don't love, who somehow miss a life of love, start eating more - it is a love-substitute.

When a child is born, his first love and his first food are the same thing - the mother. So there is a deep association between food and love..." -Osho

"According to the science energy comes from food. Look at the potato plant. It draws energy from 'somewhere' to make that potato. But brothers, you go to the store, buy the potato, clean the potato, cook, eat and digest it. Until you become like that potato plant when you know how to draw energy from 'somewhere', you have to continue to go to the store, buy it cook it and eat it - what a wasteful and lengthy process." - Bawa Muhaiyddeann

This Silence is The Answer.

This that will join you with The One.

"Truth is silent.

If Truth has dawned within you, then there will be no further speech.

It is silence, and silence is the greatest Truth, the best question.

If there is no Truth, then there will be a lot of talk and questions. One is good and the other is bad.

If there is good within you, there will be no further noise within.

But if you are full of bad,

there will be so much of talk, speeches, and questions.

Therefore, seek the good.

God does not make a noise.

If you need anything, then you have only to knock, and if you are tuned to that point,

with the sound of that knock, you will get an answer immediately. No noise, you do not have to make a sound.

This is the Truth.

There is no noise outwardly."-Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen ,God, His Prophets and His Children, p. 175

"be unwavering..." - Sadhguru

"Never make final or important decisions in the middle of the night.

Never go down thought spirals or Google/ WebMD rabbit holes after midnight.

Don't reconsider your marriage / career / parenting / state of the world in the wee-hours of the morning.

Go to bed. Sleep. Or read a book with a blanket if you must.

But leave the thinking and worrying and deciding to the daytime.

It's easy to forget that the sun always comes up in the morning. And sunlight has a way of helping us see the truth." - @johndelony

Just like when you put on your noise cancelling headphones, 

there's that moment where it seals out the outsides noises...

right now you've been sealed off from the inside noise. 

Thoughts can't touch Here. 

Only the Silent One can. 

Only the Silent One is. 

It's always speaking, but now you're Listening. 

The way you listen after you say 'hey siri' or 'alexa' or 'mercedes'...

You know how you listen after you say that? To see if she heard?

This Silence is the way you know God heard. 

God hears. 

 This Silence is your Treasure,

and then it beomes your treasure (in maya)--

you see it as health, 

you experience it as wealth,

you experience it as a GoOD life,

becuse you've embodied the GoOD state. 

The state that sees the 7000 things,

but knows The One,

feels The One,

hears The One.

Whenever you find youreself over thinking today,

noisy inside, 

bring both hands up to your ears as if you're putting on your thought-cancelling headphones, 

put them on. 

And God will put You on. 

I Love You

I Am You

"In between two thoughts, what is there?

Awaken to your timeless and immutable Self."

What sound does a Star make?
Ask yourself this question and listen to the silence that follows.
Every time you're noticing thoughts today,
pause,
and come back Here.
To the Scintillating-Silence.
Hear your Light.
Feel your Light.
When you dissolve thoughts in this Light, you're dissolving the problem.
Whatever it was you were thinking about is also clearing--
the sky of your mind is clearing,
revealing the twinkling Star,
the Sun,
that you are,
that I Am.

p.s.  How I weathered the (inner and outer) storm-

1. Prioritized meditation and silent sitting 

2. Limited access to me- reduced meetings, phone calls, text messages, excessive news watching, and went inside myself ("Worldly people go outwards but you go inwards like the tortoise withdrawing in his shell." - Neem Karoli Baba)

3. Whenever fear or doubt would arise, I'd immediately retreat if I could, to hear God's voice, the voice of Silence, over my own. 

4. Trusted that everything would be okay no matter what, and that whether the storm appeared to hit our home or not, the practice, the work was the same-- to open my heart. 

5. Smiled and help others find theirs.

“My challenge to you as fellow pilgrims on the journey, is to cultivate the stability of living on two planes of consciousness simultaneously—as Christ said, ‘In the world but not of the world,’ to be fully passionately involved in life and also be totally equanimous and centered. This is not an either/or, it’s a both/and.”

"Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen said,

No, it is the state in which our qalb, our innermost heart, joins with God's in perfect faith saying, "O my God, none of these actions are mine, everything I do belongs to you.

There is no place where You are not. All my suffering begins with not seeing you.

All my suffering begins with holding on to things inside myself that you do not keep inside You. O God, Take everything away from me that you have removed from Yourself. I need nothing other than Your path. Everything I have which you do not causes me such sorrow, suffering, pain, woe, and misery. It is hell.

O God, please remove from me those things that are not in You, whatever they may be. O my Father, please accept me, and let everything inside me fall away".

That is surrender." -A Book Of God's Love- Pg. 70-71

This episode is a portal,

a door,

an open door you just walk thorugh. 

A threshold you cross over. 

Nothing is the same. 

The practice (to be performed three times a day, for two minutes each time):

1. Sit down and close that body's eyes

2. Mentally state: "Here I am Father. Speak, I am listening. I desire to do your will."

3. Expectantly listen for a couple of minutes before getting up and going about your GoOD day. 

Note: I speak as if to the Love I feel inside-everywhere. I speak it to the Silence.

"If you are faithful to this practice, I guarantee that your life will be a success. A blessing." - Joel Goldsmith

"Aim for the supreme stage of nothingness." - Rumi

"But He is very small, smaller than an atom within an atom; He is extremely small; He is in a state in which no one can see Him. That is how He has escaped. God is in that state: He escapes.

Like that, those who have wisdom, gnanis, true human beings, those who have received the Light of God, those who have received the compassion of God, all those who have received the grace of God have become small.

It is because they have become small that they have escaped from these masks, they have escaped from these games, they have escaped from these accidents. They are hidden from those things; they are hidden, they are hidden from all the accidents. Why? Because it is very difficult to find them. As their wisdom grows, they become smaller and smaller.

Like that, as your wisdom grows, you must become smaller and smaller. The qualities must become out spread within you, precious children, jeweled lights of my eyes, because it is from those qualities that you obtain the grace. You have to change. It is only when your ac tions change, when your state changes, and when your love changes, that you will change into God, then you will become God." - Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, God is Light

Notice that just as you can stop your breath for a moment, 

you can stop your thoughts for a moment, 

which means you can have Peace for a moment. 

And once you feel that Peace,

even when the breath resumes,

 and the mind resumes,

you can keep your 'I' on the peace, 

you can keep your finger on the pulse, 

on that Rhythm, 

on that Joy, 

even when anger comes,

even when sadness comes.

Your greatest power is your ability to feel Joy, even in the grief,

even in these changes.

"Do not sit with your eyes closed and imagine you are praying to Allah;

do not think that just because your eyes are shut you have shut out everything else.

Open the eyes of your heart when you pray, and you will understand good and evil.

Then stay with the good and discard the bad." -Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen, Sufi Quotations- pg. 331

"It happened that in America, there was a man who was very, very efficient in reading other people's thoughts - a mindreader. He was always a hundred percent right.

He would sit before you; you would close your eyes and start thinking, and he would close his eyes and start talking about what you were thinking. Immediately that you would think, the thought would be transferred and he would receive it. This is an art. Many people know about it. It can be learned, you can do it, because thought is a subtle vibration. If you are receptive the other mind becomes a broadcasting station, you become the receiver. Thought is a broadcast because ripples arise in the electricity around the man. If you are silent enough, receptive, you will catch them.

When Meher Baba was in America, somebody brought a man to Meher Baba. The man had lived for many years in silence. The man sat before Meher Baba, closed his eyes and meditated and meditated and meditated. Again he would open his eyes and look at Meher Baba. It took too long; people became worried. They said, 'You never took such a long time.' The man said, 'Well, what to do? This man is not thinking at all. There is no thought.'

The East says, 'Dreaming itself is pathology.' It is a sort of illness; it is a disturbance. When you are really silent, thinking disappears in the day and dreaming disappears at night. Thinking and dreaming are two aspects of the same thing: during the day while you are awake, it is thinking, and at night while you are asleep, it is dreaming.

Dreaming and thinking are both the same. When dreaming stops, thinking stops; when thinking stops, dreaming stops. The whole effort in the East has been: how to drop the whole thing. We are not worried about how to adjust it or how to interpret it, but how to drop it."

you are the Love. 

You are The Sound. 

You are The Word. 

You are the Father. 

"I and the Father are one"

and all that He has is Yours. 

Always, already. 

"But whoever listens to Me will dwell secure and will be at ease, without dread of disaster."-Proverbs 1:33

"For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, "In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." - Isaiah 30:15

I Love You, 

I  Am You,

You are Love(d). 

Other than You there is nothing. 

Only You are God. 

"La ilaha, other than You there is nothing, ill-Allah, only you are God.” Say it and look at your Heart. Sit down for ten minutes and think about these two words: “La ilaha, there is nothing else. Other than You there is no God. Ill-Allah, only You are God, only You are God. There is no other God than You, You are God, other than You there is nothing.” - Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

"At the time of creation, God said only these words. Even now this is what God says. This is very good for many different things. Because you have forsaken it, you are suffering. Do not forsake this. At least from now on recite this. Through it, you will attain Peace." -Bawa Muhaiyaddeen

"In 30 seconds I can show you God..." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar 

"Human history is the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy."- CS Lewis 

"My God, if my tongue cannot say in every moment that I love You, I want my heart to repeat it to You as often as I  draw breath." - St. Johm Mary Vianney

SEASON 3 begins Aug 7!!!

First, I remember that it doesn't matter what the body is feeling or what the mind is thinking-- I Am Love and Love is unfolding where I Am.  Then, I wait to feel this Love.  And because I'm now feeling Love, I'm no longer matching the energy of the moment.  I'm not generating a false or fake joy, but turning back toward the inner Light, the subtle Joy, the Love that IS.  And I keep feeling the Light, holding this Love, through the situation, through the anxiety, through the worry... until it's seen that only the Light is real.  The eyes see the appearance but I'm no longer judging by the appearance.  I'm no longer fooled by it.  I'm seeing it... but I'm feeling Love at the same time.  And I know that Only Love is Here.

As you move through your dark nights, it's important to remember that you aren't seeking God. You aren't seeking the Light.  You don't want Freedom or happiness or Love.   YOU ARE THAT.  You want them because of the false perception that you think you are separate from That, from God.  Freedom is the essence of who you are.  Relax, recognize, and stay feeling this Truth, inside.  And this Truth becomes your outer circumstances.

"He is a real man who does not let go his hold on the Self-state while he is attending to whatever problems come of their own accord and without desire."
- Ramana Maharshi, Padamalai pg. 250

"Self-knowledge, or knowledge of Truth is not had by resorting to teachers, scriptures, or good deeds.  It is attained only by means of enquiry inspired by those who have awareness of the inner Light.  One's inner Light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner Light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.  Whatever sorrows there may be that seem to be difficult to overcome are easily crossed over with the help of the boat of wisdom (the inner Light).  He who is devoid of this wisdom is bothered even by minor difficulties.  The effort and the energy that are directed by the people in worldly activities should first be directed in the gaining of this wisdom.  Wisdom or the inner Light is like the legendary precious stone which bestows on its owner whatever he wishes to have."
- The Yoga Vasistha

Ride your inner elevator from the mind down into the Heart.  Ride it from noise to Silence. From chaos to Peace. From fear to Love.  It's noisy in the head, but quiet in the Heart. Stay (t)here in this Loving Silence. Don't ride the elevator back up. Stay (t)here. Stay Love.

An emotion only lasts 90 seconds,
and if you can wake up during those 90 seconds and remember,
'I'm not upset...
I'm aware of this upset,
I'm aware of this emotion,
I'm aware of this wave,
conscious breathing is my anchor',
then that'll be the beginning.
A new way to live in the world.
Rumi said, 'absorbed in this world you've made it your burden.
Rise above this world, there's another vision."
Every time you breathe and feel your way through an emotion, you have risen.
Feel the sun/Son in your Heart and know, "I Am risen."
The I Am is the healing and it's flowing through and from You.   
Thank You.
Thank God, for Love.   

I Love you,
Nik

Whatever you ask in Love's Name
(while feeling Love,
feeling Love while the words come from that Love,
addressing that Love,
like you're speaking directly to that inner experience of felt-Love),
will be given to you.

Read that again.
That's how I pray.
Sometimes I ask that Love for what I want.
But mostly I just listen to It...
And It gives me what It wants.
This Silence that is everything.

This alert-listening to the felt-Love is the most powerful prayer.
It moves mountains.
It helps you to see they were never truly (t)here.
Only Love is.

I Love you,

Today's Quotes:   

"Your path is more difficult because your calling is higher. Make it happen. Shock everyone."
- @Raghunathyogi via IG

"Stop thinking in terms of a God who will do something for a person. There is no such thing. There is no such thing as a God who will heal me or you or your patient or your student. That is going back to paganism. God is the impersonal life of all being, but God is spirit, and so your entire consciousness must be on the nature of the kingdom of God: Seek ye first the kingdom of God, the nature of spiritual grace, the nature of the gift of God. Then when you are absent from the body, when you are absent from taking any thought about the externalized forms, “the bridegroom cometh.” The eternal mistake is trying to connect a spiritual God with a material universe when “My kingdom is not of this world.” Do not try to make a spiritual God maintain a human body or a human home or a human purse or a human business, and in the moment ye “think not” about persons, things or conditions, and continue to abide with me—continue to abide in the Word—spiritual harmony comes and it brings the out picturing of harmonious human conditions."
-Goldsmith, Joel S.. Consciousness Transformed (pp. 457-458) Kindle 
    
"Imagine a thread pulling you toward the ceiling."
-Sacinanand Swami , The Living Name 

"I know you and I have a relationship, I may not always feel it but please  don't take this personally, It's just my mind. I can't help that I am weak. Only You can help me..."

In this moment you are deeply thankful to be able to be Love while things are rearranging, knowing that wherever you appear to be right now, is where you need to be. That you couldn't be anywhere else.  That your blessings are unfolding.  That the miracle is here.  That the miracle can be felt before It can be seen, but that It must be felt consistently, before It can be seen... before the scene can change.

I Love you and I appreciate you!

Affirm:
"This is my moment of permanent change.
I'm choosing Love
I'm choosing who I came here to be."

You came here to feel Go(o)d,
to remember God,
to remind the world, by example, that God is real., that God is here, that God is Love.
You came here to be Lpve.

you've written a new chapter for that life,
a chapter that can only be written Now.

Today's Quotes:   
"The next time you feel intimidated by the prospect of making a choice and you don’t feel anything in your heart one way or the other, just keep quiet, but without waiting for something to appear. You are going to have to bear some discomfort for a bit because something inside will not want to experience that feeling of not knowing. Something wants to go, but just sit with that uneasiness. Remain as awareness itself. Then, at some point, everything will calm down. A kind of recognition rather than a decision may enter your heart. The way forward may clearly manifest, and you simply move in a certain direction."

Ravi Shankar said the best form of prayer is, 'being silent and knowing that the Divinity is taking care of everything'.
But first It reveals to you that there is no 'everything'.
That there is nothing here but It.
Nothing here but God.
Nothing here but Love.
Unlocated, undivided, formless.
And once you're able to see past the form, to see through everything, you're given the best of everything.
You have to see through it all to receive the best of it all.

You're going to look back and appreciate these days.
These apparent 'slow' or 'no momentum' days.
So relax into that Gratitude, now.
Relax back into Love, now.
Notice that when you're caught in a thought train,
you're not aware of Love.
But when you become aware of Love, you're no longer caught.
You see that you were never caught.
You were never in the train...
you were watching it.
Watching this life unfold.
Watching 'the more' unfold from Here,
(w)here you're Reigning,
and Resting.

"I just felt God softly say to me, "there's more".

"Acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the foundation for all abundance."
-Eckhart Tolle

Ceaselessly acknowledging God by feeling Love, and knowing this Love as the source of 'the good that is already in your life', is the foundation for all abundance.

Today we practice remembering that this feeling of God, our Joy is the foreground of our experience, not the background.  We eat joyfully, drive joyfully, breathe in Joy, walk in Joy... we do everything we normally do on a Sunday morning, but with conscious Joy.  We do all of it as if we  are existing  and moving in and through a Joy bubble... feeling this same Joy within and without.  The more we remember to feel this all-pervasive Joy, the more our life changes. The instant you feel Joy is the instant the changes begin.

“Whoever works for God, his work will be done by itself.”
-Neem Karoli Baba aka  Maharajji

"For one who sees Me everywhere, and everything in Me; I am never lost to Him, and he is never lost to Me."
-Sri Krishna (Bhagavad Gita)   

"Wherever you concentrate, and on whatever centre, there must be a you to concentrate, and that is what you must concentrate on."
-Ramana Maharshi

"A fully Krishna (God) Conscious person, although situated in this material world, does not see anything but Krishna."
-Unknown
*Krishna is the God of Love in Hinduism

"I Am so often not recognized. Life is a thing so taken for granted. Blessed art thou that thou dost love, recognize, and adore the Power indwelling.  For I blend with your body, I thrill through your veins, I think through your mind, and love through your heart center, even as I am the One who thrills through every other being of My creation...
This is your lesson for the day. Bow before Me in all whom you contact and you shall see miracles spring from the very dirt beneath your feet."
-Eva Bell Werber,  Voice of the Master

God isn't just on the mountaintop, He's in the valley, too, and everywhere in between, and beyond.  God's Love, It's Peace, your innermost Self, can be felt even when you're in the valley of sadness. It can be felt on the pathless-path up the mountain, and once you reach the summit, you'll find that there isn't a 'you' feeling this Love, there's only Love. Only God.  And in and AS That, you abide.

I Love you!

Today's Quotes:  

"Shiva lives on the mountain top of awareness. This world is in the valley.  Many old souls have been trying to climb this mountain in reverse gear.  Even if they climb and reach near Shiva, they roll back down to the valley because of their attachments.  Climbing this mountain is not as important as changing the orientation: Turn your back to the valley and face toward Shiva."
- @ImmortalTalks on IG

Love is whispering in your ear,
not with words,
but with a soothing Feeling,
"Don't be afraid, have courage.
Feel My Love and keep going.
I Am guiding you.
I Am  showing you how to trust.
I Am teaching you how to breathe.

B R E A T H E.

...how to be aware that you're breathing.
When you're aware of your breathing, you're aware of Me.
When you're aware of your breathing, you're aware of Me being 'you'.
You're aware of My Grace.
Every time you feel afraid today, come back to Me.
Come back to your Self, back to your breath, and stop leaving.
That's when things get good.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:   

"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
-Isaiah 41:10

"God take my soul to that place where I may speak without words."
-Rumi 

You're no longer repeating the same old patterns. The more you open your heart and mind, the more you tell the Universe: "I'm ready for new and elevated fulfillment." The flow that is required for these changes to take place has been set. Which is why you're beginning to experience major shifts. This is your revolution of a lifetime. Uplifting the entire landscape of your life is no easy feat, but it's the most important thing you'll ever do for yourself."

He chose you.
Love chose you to wake up.
It chose you to pray ceaselessly.
To Hear, ceaselessly.
Your silence is prayer.
Your mantra is prayer.
This Love you feel is prayer.
Your tears are prayers.
And in every moment they're answered,
'Here I Am'.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:   

"All night, a man called 'Allah' Until his lips were bleeding.
Then the Devil said, 'Hey! Mr Gullible!
How comes you've been calling all night
And never once heard Allah say, 'Here, I am'?
You call out so earnestly and, in reply, what?
I'II tell you what. Nothing!'
The man suddenly felt empty and abandoned.
Depressed, he threw himself on the ground And fell into a deep sleep.
In a dream, he met Abraham, who asked,
'Why are you regretting praising Allah?'
The man said, 'I called and called But Allah never replied, 'Here I am.' Abraham explained, 'Allah has said,
'Your calling my name is My reply.
Your longing for Me is My message to you.
All your attempts to reach Me
Are in reality My attempts to reach you.
Your fear and love are a noose to catch Me.
In the silence surrounding every call of 'Allah' Waits a thousand replies of 'Here I am.'"
-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi (r.a.)

"To run, you must first walk.
To walk, you must first stand.
To stand, you must first crawl.
To crawl, you must first be held.
Start where you are."
