GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki

Everything you see is sacred.
Everything you taste is sacred.
Everything you smell is sacred.
Everything you hear and touch,
sacred.
Hafiz said, 'everything you do is sacred."
In this Silence we practice, you are sacred.
And in this sacredness there's nothing but Grace.
Receive It by staying open to It, by feeling It...
by giving It.
The more you give, the more you have.

I Love you,
Nik

Dick Gregory said, "When we are born, we have one thing to do.  All raindrops have one job... to work its way back Home to the river, to the stream, to the ocean. When you come here, the only thing you have to do is work your way back Home."

But wait-- while that raindrop was making its way back home, it was already, always water! It was water while it was appearing as the cloud, it was water as it fell to the ground, it was water as it mixed with mud, it was water as it merged with The Water, The Ocean.  It was water all along the journey.  It didn't need to meditate to become water. It didn't have to pray, practice, or fast to become water.  It just had to realize 'I Am Water'... and feel the presence of it Self.  Remembering that you're God while appearing to be human, will make the journey back Home a blessed one.

I Love you,

"How scary it is to admit to yourself that you want to live a different kind of life."*
But you're doing just that.
Living from your Worth,
from the feeling of your Peace,
from your Freedom,
from God's Love.
You ARE God's Love, and your life is blooming as you feel It, consciously. 

TRUST DEEPER.

I Love you,

"Lord help me to live from my worth and not for it. Anchor me in Your Word and what you say of me, not what the world expects of me. In Jesus' name, amen."
-@hertrueworth via IG 

"God is hearing all our prayers. In truth, the Lord knows each and every thought; He does not have to hear the prayers of His devotees. He is all pervading. People's thoughts exist in God only, but they do not know it. All powers belong to Him."
-Amma

Herb Fitch said, 'the mind that is stayed on God is the Power, and the mind that is not stayed, is strayed. So you're either one or the other, stayed or strayed.

Which are you? If you're 'stayed', you can hear the Silence in the noisiest of rooms. You can feel Love even though fear seems to be present. That's my prayer--
"Let me remember to listen for You all day, to feel You all day. Please give me the strength to stay my mind on You, no matter what comes."

That's our only intention,
to know the Silence,
to stay as the Silence,
to live as the Silence.

Miracles are born of Silence.

I Love you,

*Instead of looking for some law that is miraculously going to make you healthy, wealthy, and wise-- be that Law."

Be the health.
Be the wealth.
Be the wisdom.
Be the Word.

It's only one step to Freedom.

Today's Quotes:

"Begin by reversing your own beliefs about yourself. Reverse the belief that you exist as an effect of something, as an image, a reflection, or an idea. You exist as the very presence of God, the allness of God, individually manifest here for the glory of God. Begin now! Instead of looking for some law that is miraculously going to make you healthy, wealthy, and wise, be that law. Forget about mortal mind, and see that everything that comes within range of your vision is appearance. Right where the false appearance is, right there, is reality, the universe of God, perfect, entire, complete, and only awaiting your recognition: “I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.”  All that is real of me is the Christ. Anything else—that which is visible to sense—is but my limited view of the Christ which I am."
Goldsmith, Joel. The World is New (pp. 42-43). Acropolis Books. Kindle Edition. 

"I  carry the atmosphere of my being with me, and it blesses not only me, but all who come within range of my consciousness. They must be blessed even if they touch my coat, because I am permeated with the atmosphere of God. God is my mind, my Soul, and the substance of my body, the law of my body. There is nothing to me but God, and if anyone sees me as less, he is seeing what his own vision has created. Here where I am, there is only God; and that is all I see in anyone."
Goldsmith, Joel. The World is New (p. 40). Acropolis Books. Kindle Edition. 

"The emotion that overpowers you for a minute and passes away the next instant, that cannot be called Love.  That is Love which ever remains kindled and enlivened in this body all the twenty-four hours.  Everyone takes the Name of Love but none truly recognizes its essence.  That which endures all the twenty-four hours, that is Love."
-Kabir 

Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

In the Adi Lila, Krishna said, "cleanse and decorate your body because you consider it Mine."
Not yours. 
I consider that 'Love is here, and only Love is here',
and where Nikki seems to be here, that's the illusion.
And it's only an illusion because one day, Nikki won't be here.
But 'I'  still will be,
because 'I' can't go anywhere.
'I' didn't come here, so 'I' can't leave here.
'I Am' what is known as 'Here'.
Hereness is Me.

That's what you have to consider.
That's what you have to practice.
Everything has to remind you of That.
Everything has to be your mirror.
Everything has to be God.
There's no room for anything else.
No room for imperfections.
Today you're going to look out and see imperfections.
Your thoughts are going to inform you of many. 
And your work is to stay woke enough to hear every report of an imperfection,
to see every seeming imperfection,
and to hear Go(o)d where it appears to be.
To feel Go(o)d where it appears to be.

It's that simple.
You see the imperfection and you know God.
You feel THIS (Love) that you're feeling right now, while you're looking at it,
and then what you're looking at changes.
Even if you can't detect it in that moment,
it has changed.
Your gaze is healing this world.
Because your gaze is silent.
Because your gaze is steady.
Because your gaze is God's. 

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"A person trying to play me plays themself."
-Prince

“It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."

"Beauty surrounds us, but usually we need to be walking in a garden to know it."
-Rumi

"But listen to me. For one moment quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms all around you."
-Rumi

"It’s you who must come to the place where the human brain is not in the way. And behold, when you come to that secret place, the light and the power which always are present, even now, sweep aside the veil of your human sense, and then they reveal to you the perfection of Heaven where the imperfection of human thought had seemed to be." 
-Herb Fitch La Jolla Series 8B. In the Spirit of Truth

"Your gaze is healing the world."

You spend time with God by listening.
Think of that image of Dolores from Disney's 'Encanto', with her hand up to her ear. That.
Just listening. 
This listening is continuous,
that's mediation.
When you're listening you're not thinking,
that's meditation.
And then in the quiet listening,
Love is felt.
You hear God's silence, and then you feel God's Love.
You're gifted His Peace, 
and then you notice that that too, is continuous!
No matter what comes (or goes), this Peace stands.
All you have to do is remember to listen for the feeling of Peace,
and then that Peace dissolves everything that isn't Peace...
help comes,
because God is.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes: 

"...continuous reaching toward the center of our being, will eventually result in the experience of the Christ. In that moment, we discover the mystery of spiritual living: We do not have to take thought for what we shall eat, what we shall drink, or wherewithal we shall be clothed; we do not have to plan; we do not have to struggle. only Christ can live our life for us, and we meet the Christ within ourselves in meditation. The degree to which we attain the experience or activity of the Christ, the presence of the Spirit of God in us, determines the degree of individual unfoldment."
-by Joel S. Goldsmith via Practicing the Presence, Chapter 7 

"I am the spaces between my thoughts."
-via @daytohaveaday via IG

“If a man wants to be used by God, he cannot spend all of his time with people.” 
-A. W. Tozer

"Does a young woman forget her jewelry? Does a bride hide her wedding dress? Yet for years on end my people have forgotten me."

Only Love is real, and you are That.

Right now, as you read these words, simply shift from not-glowing to Glowing. 
It may feel like someone turned on the Light, inside.
Like you're more alert, more present, more confident... activated. 

You owe it to your Self to be consistent in This.
You owe it to your Self to be disciplined about This.
You owe It to your Self to stay focused on This. *

This Glow is how the body feels when you're being your Self. 
It's the 'light of Your Grace'.
It's the only purpose.

Whenever you're not glowing today, catch your Self, and Glow.

I Love you,
Nik

You are bigger than the fear.
You are bigger than the anxiety.
You are the Love that the problems,  the fear, and the anxiety seem to come and go in.
You are being the Love, consciously now, appearing as Joy, solutions, and miracles, Now.

With you in and AS Love,
Nik
nikki@curlynikki.com

Today's Quotes:

"There is no order of difficulty in miracles.

To God, every moment is a new beginning. And God is held back by nothing. God would never say, "I could help you, but you messed up badly so I can’t.”

Neither does He say, “I could give you a great life, but your parents were dysfunctional so my hands are tied." Limits do not stand before the limitlessness of God; it is only limits to our faith, not inherent limits in our circumstances, that would keep us from experiencing miracles.

Every situation provides us the chance to live with broader, more audacious faith that all things are possible. God is bigger than any limited circumstance in our past; God is bigger than any limits that the world is showing us now. Limitations exist only as a challenge to us to mature spiritually, to realize that through the grace of God we are bigger than our problems.

There is no order of difficulty in miracles. When we pray to God to dissolve the messes that we have created, His spirit enters our minds. It then turns us into the people we need to be in order to make all things right."
-Marianne Williamson, Return to Love

"You're here to do wonders but you must  be patient with yourself. Patience is an attitude of mind characterized by poise, inner calmness, and quiet endurance in the face of trying conditions. It is perfected only in those who have an unwavering knowing in the inner God (Good)."
-IG @whoisprakarsaka

Repeat, feelingly: 
"I know all the power I need to live a successful life is within me.
I relax my entire body.
I cast all burdens on the Christ. (aka Love, Source, God, etc)
I go free.
I claim and feel the Peace of God flooding my mind, heart, and whole being.
I know the quiet mind gets its problems solved.
I am at Peace."
-Unknown author

The Hollow Bamboo Game  by Ram Dass

A quiet mind is all you need.  All else will happen rightly once your mind is quiet."
-Nisargardatta Maharaj  
      
"When I remember God, He takes care of everything." 
-Maharajji aka Neem Kaorli Baba 

Today's Practice:
1. Become like a hollow bamboo... an empty reed... a flute... 
2. Become aware of the emptiness, the space and silence within you-- hollow bamboos don't think. 
3. Notice the fullness of Love in the emptiness. 
4. Know this Love as God. As your true Self.  As the solution to every problem.  

I Love you and I'm with you,

"Since the Kingdom of God is within me, all power is within me." - Joel Goldsmith (Invisible Supply)

Bonus Quote:

"Here is the answer to every problem that will confront you, today and tomorrow and throughout time.  In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your faith is placed in the most trivial and insane symbols; pills, money, “protective” clothing, influence, prestige, being liked, knowing the “right” people, and an endless list of forms of nothingness that you endow with magical powers.

All these things are your replacements for the Love of God. All these things are cherished to ensure a body identification. They are songs of praise to the ego. Do not put your faith in the worthless. It will not sustain you.

Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances. 
- ACIM Lesson 50

Today's Practice:

Every time you notice worry thoughts today, let go of them by immediately remembering the mantra, "all power is within me", allowing the words to guide you back to the Peace, the Love, Power, Itself. Use this mantra to help you FEEL through to the Truth of every moment.  Only Love is here.  There can't be a problem AND Love.  There are no problems in the Kingdom.  There's only God, only Love, only the One.  Relax your shoulders as you're reading these words and know that you are the Kingdom.  You are safe. All is well.  

Bonus Practice:

Take out a cute notebook and pen and write down everything in your life that is not power.    Keep adding to that list until you can see and know and FEEL that Love is the only Power and that all seeming other powers dissolve in the presence of this Love.  Love is truly all we need. Let's stay plugged in, today.

“What if the doctor told you that you have 24 hours to live and the one thing that could save you, is that for the next 24 hours you have to get into the Kingdom and stay there? If you were told you cannot move into doubt, depression, worry, or fear for more than 5 minutes… it would be a challenge to you, but you would surely give it your best effort.

If getting into Joy was a life or death situation, you would find you could do it.  You would shift immediately into Gratitude.” – Lisa Natoli 

“Know this: When you say, ‘I’, the true meaning of ‘I’ is Joy, It is Happiness, It is Life—and It’s also the witnessing of Life.” - Mooji

-Robert Adams 

"Everyday you should sit quietly and affirm with deep conviction: "no birth, no death, no caste have I;  father, mother, have I none. Blessed Spirit, I am He. I am the Infinite Happiness." If you again and again repeat these thoughts day and night, you will eventually realize what you really are: an immortal soul."
-Yogananda

“Do not despair in any situation. Have faith NOT in the capacity of friends and family to help you out, but in the capacity of God. God will show you the right path.” 
– Pandit Shriram Sharma 

"You have no idea how good things actually are right now.  You just haven’t reached that moment in time that the gift is revealed.  

In full faith believe that your beautiful destiny is unfolding on this beam of God Light you can feel.  It’s coming into view in proportion that you can stay aware of It.  It’s rearranging your life, dropping the ish, and replacing it with sugar, effortlessly. " 
-Note from my phone, Sept 2018

“Much prayer—much power.  Little prayer—little power.  No prayer-- …” – Toure Roberts

Today’s Practice:

Every time you're in the midst of needing someone to respond to you or do something for you, remember in that moment that you don't need anything but God.  That remembrance is the true miracle that shows up as the seeming material one. Rest. Abide. Trust in this Love.

"To be conscious of the breath means that no thoughts can be allowed, because thoughts will distract your attention. Buddha never says, "Stop thinking." He says, "Breathe consciously." Automatically, thinking will stop; you cannot both think and breathe consciously. When a thought comes into your mind, your attention is withdrawn from the breathing. A single thought and you have become unconscious of the breathing process.

Buddha used this technique. It is a simple one, but a very vital one. He would say to his bhikkhus, his monks, "Do whatsoever you are doing, but do not forget a simple thing: remember the incoming and the outgoing breath. Move with it, flow with it."

The more you try to do it, the more you endeavor to do it, the more conscious you will become. It is arduous, it is difficult, but once you can do it, you will have become a different person, a different being in a different world." - Osho

Allow everything that happens today to happen in the flow of your breath.  Stay conscious of your breathing today.  Don't forget to feel for it.  Make it primary, and everything else secondary.  It's your anchor.  It's always here.  Always now.  Just as God Is.  Just as Love is.  Just as you are.  You are breathing life into your new life. Trust this. 
Smile. 
Give thanks. 

I Love you, 
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; 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

"It takes very, very, VERY, good karma for a person even to want to know God."
-Yogananda

"Any work you do while keeping constant remembrance of god is of the same value as meditation. To constantly remember God is not your habit.  To cultivate it, japa (repeating a mantra or name of  God) is the prescription."
-Amma

"When I am with you, everything is prayer."
Rumi

It's like the subatomic texture of the universe, the dark matter that connects everything. When you tune in to that flow, you will feel it in your own heart—not your physical heart or your emotional heart, but your spiritual heart, the place you point to in your chest when you say, ‘I am’.”

"The Kingdom of God is spread upon the earth, and men do not see it.'* The Kingdom isn't far away.  The Kingdom is right here and right now. The challenge of Jesus' message is that it constantly asks of us: Can you see it? Can you see the Kingdom right now? Right in the midst of this very moment in the midst of this very life that often seems mundane and ordinary-- can you see eternity? Have you allowed yourself and your world to be rendered transparent to the underlying divinity that shines through it?   - from Adyashanti's, 'Resurrecting Jesus' 
*The Gospel of St. Thomas 113

"By and by your consciousness will become more and more centered in the eyes. You will just be aware; there will be no thinking.  Eyes cannot think. When the whole consciousness is centered in the eyes, the mind has no energy left for thinking.  There is no mind-- only the eyes exist-- so there is no thinking." - Osho

Today's Practice:
Take a few moments to notice that when you're not blinking, you're not thinking.  And notice what you FEEL in that pause.  Love.  Become a transparency for that Love to shine through, for the Kingdom to reach out and through and touch others.  Text someone a message of gratitude, today.  Be Love, today, and remember that the Kingdom is not only where you reside, It's what you are.

When the heart is warm with Love, the head is automatically cool.   
Your response is chill.
Your thoughts are chill.
Sometimes, it's like they're saying- 
"Thank you for giving me this Love as a reminder of Your presence.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity, this moment, to remember you."

And you can take as many of these moments as  you need during the day. 
Every time you close your eyes and go within,
that's the Sabbath.
That's true rest.
That's the absence of desire (aka the feeling of lack),
and the presence of all things Go(o)d.

I Love you,
Nik

As you read these words, shift from that weak signal to having ALL your bars. A strong connection feels like Love, radiating. It feels like a straighter spine. A smiling face. Belly breaths. It feels like... Home. Welcome back :)

Today's Quotes:

"Hope, expectancy, and what the world calls faith—this all has to do with a future tense. God has no way of operating except now, a continuing now. “Now is the appointed time,” and this takes away from us the false sense of faith that God will meet our rent on the first of the month. 

It helps us to realize that God does not operate in the future, because that takes away from us the false sense of expectancy and the false sense of faith it gives us. “I will never leave you nor forsake you,” so omnipresent I is a continuing experience, but not one that begins tomorrow. If faith has anything to do with anything beyond this moment it is not faith at all. You may say that you will not have fruit on your fruit trees until next month; but I say to you—if the law is not operating in your trees now, there never will be fruit. It is only the operation of the nowness that brings fruit in its season. It is what is happening in the tree now that determines the fruit to be on the tree. So it is, that which is taking place in our consciousness now determines the fruitage in our bodies, in our pocketbook, in our family, in our life—next week, next month, next year. "
- Joel Goldsmith 'Consciousness Transformed' (pp. 114-116). Acropolis Books, Inc..

"This life is about finding a way to be in the world that connects you to your Soul."
-Ram Dass 

"And now these three remain: faith, hope, love, but the greatest of these is Love."
-1 Corinthians 13:13

"The present moment is the only moment available to us and it is the door to all moments."
-Thich Nhat Hanh

“This love and life are not different. 
This love and God are not different. 
This love and consciousness are not different. 
This love and the Absolute are not different.”
— Mooji, White Fire: Spiritual Insights and Teachings of Advaita Zen Master 

“I AM come here within you to be your life everlasting. I AM to resurrect you out of any tomb into which you may have fallen: the tomb of sin, the tomb of disease, the tomb of poverty, the tomb of unhappiness. Into whatever tomb you have fallen, I, your Christ-self, am here to resurrect you, to bring you back to the Father’s house so that you will “die” to that flesh and blood and bone belief, and actually witness your Self as you are, the Christ, the perfect son of God, the perfect offspring of the perfect Substance, Life, and Being.”

"I release all inner resistance and doubt.  I trust my inner power." - Louise Hay

Today, when you notice that familiar resistance to feeling Love, don't force It... simply invite It in.  It's a light intention.  A gentle turning toward and recognizing.  And in the instant you remember to turn, you are immediately aware of It, as It. Love wasn't covering Its face, we were covering ours.  Let's take our hands down from over our eyes, and  look... feel. 

There, Love is! 

I Love you,

The prayer brought sweetness into my heart and made me unaware of everything else."

My life depends on me being Love, because when I'm being Love, I can see through appearances, and when I can see through appearances, they change.  

This is how you see yourself out of any situation you have outgrown.  Not through resistance. When the resistance comes up, immediately see through it, too!  See through every thought, through every emotion, through every person, place, and thing, to the REAL.  And let the REAL manifest and define Itself.  

Note: The REAL feels like the feeling of Love in and as that body.  And you can sense It even when the body is discordant. 

I Love you and I'm with you!

Quotes: 

"The two worse feelings in the world  are not having a job and having a job."
-Unknown via IG

" In wealth is the fear of poverty, in knowledge the fear of ignorance, in beauty the fear of age, in fame the fear of backbiters, in success the fear of jealousy, even in body is the fear of death. Everything in this earth is fraught with fear. He alone is fearless who has given up everything."
-Swami Vivekananda

"Do not try to control matter.  Know it does not exist. You control it by knowing it does not exist." 
-Herb Fitch

"Being never came into being because It is eternal.  Therefore nothing in the three-dimensional world ever came into being. It came into appearing. "
-Bob Pilato 

"In 2022, I resolve not to react to appearances, but to see through them."

Becoming the Witnessing Consciousness is a very subtle shift,  that in the beginning brings about very subtle changes... so subtle you won't notice them until people start bringing them to your attention.

"You look happier."
"You look younger."
"You're so easy to talk to you, I love your energy."

But It's God's Light they're feeling.
It's God they're seeing.
It's God they're hearing.
And they don't know.
You know. 
You know what Is,
You have what Is.
You're aware of what Is, aware of God,
between the space of where you are and where you want to be,
trusting that as long as you continue to practice feeling Go(o)d, the work you're doing, the work you're watching, becomes your path.

"The universe is saying: Allow me to flow through you unrestricted and you will see the greatest magic you have ever seen." - Klaus Joehle 

"Praying for a change in your life, well maybe it's gon' come tonight." - Kanye West 

Today's Practice:

In your journal write, "The moment I feel Love, I Am ___________." The 'blank' is your desired reality.  Trust that when you are consciously feeling Love, you are Love, and that Love will take the form of that desired reality or something even more in alignment than you can presently imagine.    Don't be attached to outcomes, just trust that It will provide. It always has and It always will, and now, the process is conscious. 

Keep relaxing into Love, today. Keep breathing into Love, today.  Allowing It to flow unrestricted, absolutely nothing is impossible, and with Love, "everything is achieved." - Neem Karoli Baba

A short and powerful meditation on the 'I' that you are, and how knowing It, is the deepest, most regenerative rest possible.  When you know that only It is here, there's nothing left to think or worry about because whatever you're thinking or worrying about, isn't there... where it appears to be Love is. Bliss is.  The Bliss that you're sitting in right now.  The spacious and loving 'I' that you'll be walking through later. Feel This and be free.

And here's a bonus activity from Wayne Dyer:

"Think of the five words -- "I am that I am." In your mind, place a comma after the word "that." Let "that" represent for you what you would like to manifest, or become as a person. I can't stress this enough -- write down on paper precisely what that represents for you. Whatever constitutes your wish, write it down and in your mind, call it "that." For example, "that" could mean your perfect health or abundance or a specific job or a happy, loving partnership. Write it down and be specific. And as you close your eyes in meditation, let your inner mantra be "I am that." For example, "I am perfect health," "I am abundance," "I am in possession of the job I seek."   

You take it a step further and let 'that' be... THAT... the All  that is being everything and nothing.  And then let THAT become what It's destined to be. That's trust. Surrender.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:    

"Who am I ?
Feel your reality
in the stillness, 
in the quietness, 
where there is no mind, 
no thought, no words, 
who are you then?
You just are. 
I Am. I Am. 
I Am not this. I Am not that. 
I Am. 
I Am that which has always been, I Am that which will always be, 
I Am That I Am. "
-Robert Adams       

"I  exist’ is the only permanent self-evident experience of everyone. Nothing else is so self-evident as ‘I am’. (…) So to do self-enquiry and be that ‘I am’ is the only thing to do. ‘I am’ is reality. I am this or that is unreal. I am is truth, another name for Self."
-Ramana Maharshi 

"Deep rest is bliss, and bliss is the understanding that only God exists.  Knowing that only God exists is the deepest rest possible."
-Ravi Shankar

When you find and hold Love
before,
during,
and after
the Cross you've been given to bear,
you find that not only are you healed but that you can heal.
That your Presence Itself is healing.
Because It is everything.
And It is perfect. 

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes: 

"You do not heal 'from' trauma.
You simply come to know yourself
as Life Itself.

And you turn towards the wounded place.
And you flush it with attention,
which is love.

And maybe the wound will always be with you.
Maybe you will always walk with the hurt.
But now, you hold it. It doesn't hold you.
You are the container, not the contained.

It doesn't control you any longer, the wound.
Because it is drenched in awareness now.
Drenched in You.
Loved by You.
Even celebrated by You.

You do not heal 'from' trauma.
You find healing 'in' the trauma.
You find yourself at trauma's sacred core.
The One who is always present.
The One who can bear
even the most intense feeling states.
And survive.
The Indestructible One.
The Infinite One.
The Powerful One.
You."
- Jeff Foster

"To love is human
To feel  pain is human
But to feel love despite the pain is pure angel."
-Rumi 

"A boy came one time and asked, “Maharajji, did Jesus really get angry?” As soon as Maharajji heard the word “Jesus,” tears came to his eyes. He was sitting up when the question was asked, and he leaned over on his elbow and tapped his heart three times with tears coming down from his eyes. There was total silence for a moment. Maharajji had brought the reality of Christ into everyone’s consciousness, and he said, “Christ never got angry. When he was crucified he felt only love. Christ was never attached to anything; he even gave away his own body.” And at that point everyone was crying—we had gone through the complete Passion of Christ. And all of a sudden he sat up and said, “The mind can travel a million miles in the blink of an eye—Buddha said that.”
-Maharajji

Let's take a moment to feel the truth of our existence, the source of our sustenance,  the peace of the One that is meditating in us.  He chants in me.  She's the Silence in you.  It's the Love we are, and It feeds us. 

"I am fed from within.  Don’t change your outer way of living but inwardly know where and what Source is.  Break this attachment to the outer world.  Break the belief that you’re dependent on man for justice, or for loans, or for forgiveness, or for your support.  It takes a while to break your attachment to the outer world,  but you can do it if you can remember the word, 'Now'.

Now, am I and my Father one.  Now, do I draw upon the Kingdom of God within me.  Now, do I seek living waters within myself, the bread of life, the staff of life within myself.  No longer do I seek from 'man whose breath is in his nostrils', but now I know my attunement is the secret of the spiritual life.  Turning within a hundred times a day just for a momentary remembrance, 'thank you Father, the Kingdom is within me', 100 times a day.  Just smiling at the remembrance that now you are one with the infinite, the entire infinite is flowing forth into your experience."
-Joel Goldsmith 

"To go within means to come out of thinking. And when you come out of thought, you are within.  When you find the moment of rest from thought, you are in Consciousness.

"The 'problem' with most people who believe in God, is that they also believe in the devil.  That's believing in two powers rather than only one!"
-Gil Michaels 

"'...error is not real and it has no power.'  That is an incomplete statement because error does have power until it comes into contact with an illumined consciousness.  We should first complete the sentence by saying, 'error is not power in the presence of an illumined consciousness.'  Illumined consciousness is of course not human consciousness with knowledge.  You must bring the actual presence of God into the situation.  Harmony begins to come into your experience only as you attain the actual realized presence of God or spirit of God.  You can sum up the evils of the world in the words 'temporal power'.  Nothing happens to the errors that come into your experience until you have attained the realization of the presence of God-- then temporal power is dissolved as darkness is dissolved in the presence of light. Which means that evil or error of any nature is not power in the  presence of the realized presence of God." 
-Joel Goldsmith

"Faith is the greatest thing Jesus wanted us to learn: not blind faith in mere words, but faith born of the experience of his inner presence." 
-Swami Kriyananda 

Today's Practice:
Catch yourself believing in secondary powers.  Every time a thought is noticed about the inherent power of dollars or the media, immediately turn to the felt-presence of Love.  That's it.  You don't have to replace the thought or change the belief.  Just feel Love, and watch as every unnecessary belief is dissolved on sight.  This Love doesn't bring you into alignment, it IS alignment.  The moment you feel It, you're being your Self.  The moment you feel It, you're back on the Throne... it's Go(o)d here :) 

I Love you,

You are both in that place, and you're not.
You're both the seed, and the oak tree.
You're both the bud, and the rose in full bloom.

Today's Quotes- 

"Once I said to God, 
'How do you teach us?'
And He replied, 'If you were playing chess with someone who had infinite power and infinite knowledge and wanted to make you a master of the game where would all the chess pieces be at every moment?  Indeed, not only where he wanted them, but where all were best for your development; and that is every situation of one’s life.’”
-St. John of the Cross via ‘Love Poems from God’ by Daniel Ladinsky 

"...Your humanity isn't an error. All your desires are part of the journey."

Today's Quote: "Past karmas can't be settled one by one. They get settled all at once, in a single moment, when you realize that all of this is a dream. When you realize that you didn't do anything you think you did." - @ImmortalTalks via IG

Today's Practice: Set your phone timer to go off once an hour on the hour to remind yourself that this is all like a dream. To remember to remember to hold the thread of Truth. To feel for the essence of Love in every seeming moment.  Only Love is here. Only Love is real.  Today's practice is to live lucidly, aware that "life is but a dream."  And to smile to that dream : )

Bonus quotes: Ramana Maharshi on the nature of reality-
‘The world should be considered like a dream.' - from Who Am I?
'Waking is long and a dream short; other than this there is no difference.' - from Who Am I?
'The present waking state is no more than a dream.' - from Talks 244
'The so-called waking state is itself an illusion.'- from Talks 199

Nisargadatta Maharaj on the nature of reality- 
"The dream is not your problem. Your problem is that you like one part of your dream and not another. Love all, or none of it, and stop complaining. When you have seen the dream as a dream, you have done all that needs be done."

A quick review of different 'doors' or practices to keep you in Love this week, to get you through and beyond your hardships to the Go(o)d that awaits.
The Go(o)d you deserve.
The Go(o)d you ARE.
The Go(o)d that IS.

The only one I forgot to mention (that helped me TREMENDOUSLY) was:

1. Notice when you're worrying about something
2. Remember that you don't feel bad because what you're worrying about is true (or will come true), you feel bad because it's NOT TRUE. It's false. And that's the only reason you feel 'off'... because God doesn't agree with you on that subject.  When you and God differ on a topic, you get a sign. And that sign is 'worry', or 'fear'.
3. Feel the relief in that remembrance and feel Go(o)d again.  Now you and God agree!
4. And watch what happens :)

Finally, a seed to be planted-

“Your own concepts have created "walls" and so you need a "door." But when there are no concepts, there are no walls.”
-Ravi Shankar

DM's with my Go(o)d friend, Ganesh Das, on IG last week inspired today's episode. Chant and proceed :)

"Nik: I had a mini revelation a few weeks ago that because we found God's Love, it’s like we can’t help but be in line… we are in cue for Home. But unless we are actively chanting, the line doesn't move very much lol. When we chant, it starts moving again 😂

Not sure if that makes sense to anyone but me, but yeah... Things move when I’m doing my 16 rounds.  Stagnation is felt otherwise, inside and out.

Ganesh Das: 🤯 That’s it!! Perfect visual representation. Wow. Chanting is the the Fast Pass at Disney World 🤣"

"If we don't fill our mind with prayer, it will fill itself with anxieties, worries, temptation, resentment, and unwelcome memories." - Unknown via IG

Chanting is the Fast Pass for our world, for this level of Consciousness.  Silently, inwardly, calling on God, that's how we pray, that's how we move. We fill our minds and hearts with Love and have the time of our lives!

I Love you and I'm with you,

Today's Quotes: 

"When God loves people He afflicts them.  If they endure with fortitude, He chooses them." - Rumi

"If only you can go through difficult times with inner Grace, every situation you face will be an opportunity to enhance your life." -Sadhguru 

"Don't stop believing, hold on to the feeling."- Journey, 1988

Today's Practice: The next time you're angry,  shift from being the one who is angry, to being the One that is aware that anger has come.  It's a simple (not easy, lol) shift that happens the moment you become aware of Silence, or Love, or your mantra.  You go from being angry to being the Loving Awareness of anger. Cut on some music, take a shower, change the scene (switch rooms) if you can...pause, breathe, smile.  And then let Love move that body into right action.  Let Love heal everything, because It is everything.

Today's Quotes-  

"Never confuse outer symbols for reality.  Know them for what they are.  Always turn within where Reality dwells allowing the living soul of you to speak for you the Truth. 

Always know that the Life Force which lives you is your guide and you will never confuse reality for that which is unreal.  

Always do you have access to the holy shrine within you. Come now to that shrine, let us be still together."
-Eva Bell Werber from 'In His Presence' 

"When formerly answering my mail or phone calls, if a student said, “I have a cold,” or “I need a job,” or “Business is bad,” or “I have family trouble,” I would reply that I would take care of it, assuming they knew and understood that I was going to take care of a spiritual realization. However, since I discovered that they were perfectly willing to stay in the attitude of problems and demonstrations, I stopped that practice about a year ago [circa 1963]. It is a form of metaphysics I do not understand. All I can do is try to lift you into a spiritual consciousness where you become aware of the presence of the Christ. I can do nothing about those other things.
-Joel Goldsmith, 1964 London Class

"You've got to be centered in God, that's your number one priority.  That's all you've got to do at all times- to be centered in God and everything must come your way, it's a law.  Spirit draws unto Itself.  Spirit will employ you because Spirit is you. But if you're not Spirit or if you disclaim being Spirit or if you act like a human and not Spirit, how can Spirit serve?"
-Herb Fitch

"Your Heart knows the way. Run in that direction."
- Rumi

"Things that excite you are not random. They are connected to your purpose. Follow Them."
- Deepak Chopra

"There's so much peace in knowing that you will not miss out on what's meant for you."
-unknown on IG

The Kanye West song I mentioned, 'Come to Life' from Donda (track 22).

Today's Practice:
Take out your notebook and write down your 'thing'.  That thing you can't stop talking about. That thing you would do for free.  And start doing some form of it today.  Begin unfolding your Soul's purpose.  Come to Life. Come to Love. Tell Divine Love, tell God that you're ready.

Say, "I'm ready."

I love you,
Nik

When you turn from your problems to My Presence,
your load is immediately lighter.*
You live in a new way,
You see in a new way,
you consistently feel a new way,
and so God does a new thing.
He's already done It.
But now you're about to see It.
You're walking right into It.
I N E V I T A B L E,
your blessings.

Today's Quotes: 

"My child. Your mind leaps from problems to problems to problems, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots.  When you think like that, you leave Me out of your worldview and your mind becomes darkened. Though I yearn to help, I will not violate your freedom. I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that I am with you. 
When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter.  Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to "fix" everything gives way to a deep, satisfying connection with Me. Together we can handle whatever this day brings.    
-Sarah Young, "Jesus Calling"

"Whatever action we are doing, we should be sure to keep the thought of God alive within. Whenever we sit or get up, we should prostrate in that place. It is good to cultivate the habit of considering our pen, books, clothes, vessels, and the tools of our job as imbued with divine presence and use them with care and respect. This will help keep the thought of God alive throughout our body, mind, and atmosphere."
-Amma 

“A day of silence can be a pilgrimage in itself.”
-Hafiz

How do you feel when you're on a journey with someone who has already been there before?
With someone that knows the way?
With someone who is The Way?
You trust.
You smile.
You relax your shoulders,
and enjoy the view.
If you stay where your feet are,
you'll arrive.

See through your clouds all week.
This idea of a week, even a short one, is a cloud.
Going back to work tomorrow,  a cloud.
Are you going to meet it with fatigue, annoyance, avoidance?
Or can you meet it with His smile in your heart,
and a smile on your face?
Facing your clouds and seeing through them is how you qualify for God's calling on your life.

If this is a spiritual reality, of what value is the body?

Today's Quotes:    

"If you surrender totally to God, He will make sure that you don't lack anything."
-Amma via @Ramdasbatchelder via IG 

“When you are free of your identity and your person, nothing more needs to be learned. It's like another power, a great presence, flowing through this body and it doesn't seem strange. The less there is of you, the more you are. What a paradox! You without you are the real You. You without your person are the face of God.
Your life doesn't get more complex, more sophisticated, more learned. You are not becoming a great scholar. It is so simple, there is a presence, wisdom, love, unlimited. A peace, unbreakable, alive, without end. Not a person. And yet you feel it inside, 'I don't do anything, I simply am.'”
-Mooji

Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Simply thinking, 'the Presence goes before me’,  is not enough.
You have to listen for that Presence,
feel for It.
In the feeling of It, It has already 'gone before you to make the crooked places straight',
It's healing what's behind you,
and It's where and what you are presently, performing miracles.
When you stay with Him.
He stays with you.
In you.
As you.
Consciously.

Today's Quotes:    

“God is compassion. He is waiting at the door of every heart. He is an uninvited guest everywhere, because whether you call Him or not, He is there. Whether you are a believer or a nonbeliever, He is within you uninvited. Behind every form, behind everything, God is hiding. He beautifies things and makes them what they are. He is the hidden formula of life. But He won’t reveal Himself to you. You won’t feel Him unless you call Him. Prayer is the invitation. You must invoke Him through prayer and meditation. Chanting, singing and repeating the mantra are invitations, asking God to reveal Himself.”
-Amma 

"The Presence does go before you, and It “makes the crooked places straight”—if you have the conscious awareness of the Presence. There are persons all over the world declaring, “The Presence goes before me,” and It does not do a single thing for them. No, no, the Presence does not go before you just because you declare some words, nor is God consciously present with you just because you declare It.

God is an experience. God must be experienced, and we experience God through our meditation. I am not saying meditation is the only way to have the experience. There are people on earth who have never meditated who have a conscious awareness of the presence of God all the time. But those who have not had the experience of the presence of God have not lived, and if they have not experienced the presence of God, it is because they have not specifically known the truth and then gone to the source where God is to be found.

Do you understand now what I mean when I point out there must be discipline and a declaration or statement of truth, a realization of truth, and yet, in the same breath, I say that when you get to the point of prayer or treatment, you do not need words or thoughts? Let this be clear to you. Do not hesitate about it, because it is very important."

-Joel S. Goldsmith: The Only Freedom. Chapter Six; The Discipline of Knowing The Truth; Practice Is Essential; Kindle: location pp 99

"We've been together for a while now
We're growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there's no doubt
I will stay with you as each morning brings the sunrise
And the flowers bloom in springtime
On my love you can rely
And I'll stay with you

Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arise
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you."
-John Legend, Stay With You

"The God Who Stays"
-Matthew West 

"When you are faced with the Fact, thought does not operate."

This Holy Silence is God saying;

"There is no problem...
that mind that is so heavy? It isn't even there,
because I'm there.
I'm here.
Hear Me.
Listen to Me."

And in that listening your shoulders come down,
your breath deepens,
lengthens,
your stomach goes soft,
your jaw relaxes,
you become aware of the weight of your phone in your hand,
and even though that face may not be smiling just yet,
your Heart Is.
And that's the 'upleveling'.

Today's Quotes:   

"The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still."
-ACIM

"Become so still you can hear the blood flowing through your veins."
-Mira

"Now when an emotional upset starts, it may start out of a thought process, but then it starts to involve all of the body — the adrenaline and all kinds of chemical reactions. Then often, one of the ways out of it is to work with the body.  For example, running or movement. Taking a walk. Doing things which start to release the energy, the kind of chemical buildup. Because you get that kind of nervous energy when you are emotionally upset. Then there is meditation–quieting down and allowing yourself to see how lost you’ve gotten. I mean on the deeper devotional path, there is the offering of the emotion to God.  Saying, “Here, You take it.  I offer it to You.”  There is appreciating your humanity. “Yea, here I am. I’m human. I just lost it again.  Ah so!” There’s the Ah so — Right? “Okay. Once more. Boy, am I hung up.” These are all spiritual techniques. See, it’s the upleveling. It’s the ability to see it without denying it. Not saying, “I’m not really upset.” “I am upset. Far out. Here we are again.” It’s like talking with God and saying “Oh, look at how deliciously human I am.” Not to milk it.  Not to keep feeding it, but not to push it away. That’s the quickest way through. To acknowledge it, allow it, and then use body energy to keep working out the chemical stuff that’s built up and the tension in the body that’s been built up. And then get on with it and just keep letting go, letting go, letting go. Sometimes music does it. There are a lot of techniques that do it."
-Ram Dass

“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one”
-Rumi 

"Gain this consciousness of God’s presence and you have the whole secret of success in every walk of life.
...
It is our conscious union with God which enables us to live without taking thought and makes possible a life of complete abundance – by Grace."

That which sees the waves of unknowing and the waves of knowing, the waves of doubt, and the waves of clarity, is beyond both.
That, you are. 
 Like kneeling over a disturbed lake,
trying to see your reflection through the waves,
you can see something,
you can see a distortion,
but as the waves calm down,
as the lake goes still again,
there you are.
When the mind is still,
like it is right now,
more aware of silence than anything else,
there you are
(t)here, God is.

I love you,

Today's Quotes:   

"When you feel pulled into two different directions,
surrender into the not knowing. 
It's okay to not know what direction to go in
when you feel this conflict.
It's your heart teling you to release control, 
to make space and allow spirit to lead you through."
-@JessicaDelmar_ via IG

"I entered into unknowing and remained there, knowing nothing.
This place transcends all thought. I had no idea where I was, but when I found myself there (without knowing where there was) I suddenly understood sublime things, ineffable things."
-St John of the Cross     

"This is what you are to do: lift your heart up to the Lord, with a gentle stirring of love desiring him for his own sake and not for his gifts. Center all your attention and desire on him and let this be the sole concern of your mind and heart. Do all in your power to forget everything else, keeping your thoughts and desires free from involvement with any of God's creatures or their affairs whether in general or particular. Perhaps this will seem like an irresponsible attitude, but I tell you, let them all be; pay no attention to them.
...
And so diligently persevere until you feel the joy in it. For in the beginning it is usual to feel nothing but a kind of darkness about your mind, or as it were, a cloud of unknowing. You will seem to know nothing and to feel nothing except a naked intent toward God in the depths of your being. Try as you might, this darkness and this cloud will remain between you and your God. You will feel frustrated, for your mind will be unable to grasp him, and your heart will not relish the delight of his love. But learn to be at home in this darkness. Return to it as often as you can, letting your spirit cry out to him who you love. For if, in this life, you hope to feel and see God as he is in himself it must be within this darkness and this cloud. But if you strive to fix your love on him forgetting all else, which is the work of contemplation I have urged you to begin, I am confident that God in his goodness will bring you to a deep experience of himself."
-Excerpt from 'The Cloud of Unknowing'

Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

God isn't revealed in the words,
you feel Him in     the       s p a c  e      between them.
Then you grab hold of that wordless feeling, the 'I Am",
and you keep feeling It throughout the words,
throughout all the noise of the world,
feeling the Kingdom while experiencing the world.
That's inner freedom.
The only freedom.
And then It appears to become evident as your outer freedom.

I Love you,
Nik
