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.'”-MoojiSupport the show

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.

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 nowWe're growing stronger everyday nowIt feels so good and there's no doubtI will stay with you as each morning brings the sunriseAnd the flowers bloom in springtimeOn my love you can relyAnd I'll stay with youOh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downsOh I'll stay with you when no one else is aroundAnd when the dark clouds ariseI will stay by your sideI know we'll be alrightI 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."-J Krishnamurti, Meeting Life Support the show

This Holy Silence is God saying;"There is no problemthat 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'. I Love you, Niknikki@curlynikki.comBonus content every week:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmorningsGo(o)d Mornings merch:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings_______________________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."-Goldsmith, Joel S., The Infinite Way (Kindle Locations 1081-1089).

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.

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'Support the show

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.

"-Ravi Shankar"There's a great space in which this moment takes place. There's a great silence that is listening to the thoughts."-Adyashanti "All unhappy states are only this Consciousness forgetting itself. They are imaginary as states, but real as Consciousness."-Rupert Spira Support the show

Watch your thoughts and watch yourself watching the thoughts.Watch your mantra, and watch yourself watching the mantra. Your mantra cleans up the inside,and because in the Kingdom there is no inside or outside,it cleans up what appears to be the outside for you, too. It cleans up your relationships,it cleans up your career, it cleans up how you relate to your children, it cleans up how you relate to your Self. But it all begins with how you relate to your thoughts in this moment. Assume responsibility for your practice, for your life, until you realize that the responsibility is God's.And that you do what you can, until Grace kicks in. Until the Holy Spirit flows in, and the blocks are cleared,and the path is open,and your success is established.I Love you, Nik “Christ may make His home in your hearts”-Ephesians 3:17"If you clear the cobwebs of material sense from the darkest corners of your mind, you will be preparing a place for the inflow of the Holy Spirit. As that Divine Presence then establishes Itself as the Primal Force in your soul and consciousness, It will go before you to lighten all burdens of the human condition that have been restricting your progress on the path to mystical illumination. So, take every opportunity to retire often to the inner sanctum of your being, where this cleansing process can occur and then, allow this hallowed Presence to work Its magic in your ongoing life unfoldment."-Don Mardak"Watch your thoughts and watch yourself watching the thoughts. The state of freedom from all thoughts will happen suddenly and by the Bliss of It, you shall recognize It."-Nisargadatta Maharaj "Stuck with another day, how should we pass it?If anything worked for you before--I'd give thatpreference."-Mira via Daniel Ladinsky's, 'Love Poems from God'"A house is made of brick and stone, but a Home is made of Love alone."-Rumi Support the show

This is your life on Love. Where every thorn becomes a rose,and every thought becomes Go(o)d. You think about God all day the way you used to think about your problems all day. You feel Go(o)d all day no matter what comes, by intending, "I'm feeling Go(o)d anyway".And you smile. And the world smiles.  Because God is.

Don't let this life go by and miss discovering the Supreme One."-Mooji "It is an insult to your Self to be born, live, and die without knowing the answer to the mystery of why you were sent here as a human being in the first place. To forget God is to miss the whole point of existence. Learn to feel God, and to enjoy Him."-Yogananda "All objective experience- thoughts, images, feelings, sensations and perceptions- appears and disappears, but knowing or being aware remains present throughout all changing experience, just as a screen remains present throughout all movies."-Rupert Spira"If I pick a rose without you, it becomes a thorn in my hand. If I am the thorn,  I become a rose in your hand."-Rumi Support the show

Keep going."-@PursuitofHoliness via IG "Focus on the step in front of you. Not the entire staircase."- @iliastration via IG"Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit." When we have learned not to resist evil, not to fight it, and not to try to get God to fight it for us, we will not have to labor for our good: we will receive it by Grace.  Our very acknowledgment of the unreal and illusory nature of the discords of this world is the spiritual power."-Joel Goldsmith "Certainly  you will have doubts.

As long as you don't forget that you're actually Love, that you're the underlying pattern,the building blocks and the glue of all of creation, then your foundation is strong, and you can build higher. It's like you're in the trenches and you're building, and you can't really see what you're building, but you just keep trusting, and you just keep listening for Silence, and you just keep feeling for Love.

You feel that you have lived, have loved, have rejoiced and sorrowed; but I say to you, that which has seemed of such importance was only as the threads of silken web drawing ing you up to Me. Your life shall unfold. You are, as it were, but at the beginning of that which never began. The page lies fresh and white before you even as does the new day. Old things shall rule you no more. Old ways shall tempt you no more. You shall go on and up the sunlit lit path with Me. If at times you seem to be back again and the old familiar ways seem to take possession of you, only turn within and know that the One who dwells on the throne of your heart is after all that which is eternal. As you do your work, as you meet My children on the path, you will be love-filled and understanding, for it shall be the Christ in you who sees and works.

Initially, you have to make some effort.  Later you enjoy a pension."*-Ramakrishna "Do your work with one hand and hold onto God with the other. when you finish yor work, you will hold God with both hands."**-Ramakrishna "It is normal to experience a silent pause, a limbo space, between the old you and who you are becoming. Some call this the void,  It may feel a little empty, because you are shedding  yet another layer of who you once were while finding your foot ing for what is next. It can be so subtle that you may not even notice it. Except for the feeling that something is off, something has changed.  What used to resonate and excite you may feel a bit duller. But this  is because your consciousness is expanding and you are being nudged-- there is more out there! So much more that will move your soul. Only you don't know where to look just yet.  And that is okay.  It is in the pause, where you are recalibrating. Coming back to your center. Quieting the noise... The truth of who you are is beyond any human concept beyond language. Beyond thought.  And only you can feel It for yourself."- @asmi.path via Instagram Support the show

You always wish that you could too. Which is idiotic: you can get away from it anytime you like. By going within. Nowhere you can go is more peaceful—more free of interruptions—than your own soul.”-Marcus Aurelius, Meditations"Turn my headphones up." -Dave Chappelle "When you begin to sit still and you look upon the mind, the thoughts, you witness the thoughts, you watch the thoughts, the mind slows down. As you continue witnessing the thoughts, watching the thoughts, the mind becomes weaker and weaker and weaker and you become happier and happier and happier. Bliss comes when the mind is at rest. Unalloyed happiness comes when the mind is inactive."-Robert Adams Support the show

Every time I remember that God is with me,I know the world is for me, from Me. Affirm: 'God goes with me wherever I go", and feel into this meditation from 'A Course in Miracles': "Today's idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and abandonment all the separated ones experience. Depression is an inevitable consequence of separation. ³So are anxiety, worry, a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering and intense fear of loss.The separated ones have invented many “cures” for what they believe to be “the ills of the world.” But the one thing they do not do is to question the reality of the problem. Yet its effects cannot be cured because the problem is not real. The idea for today has the power to end all this foolishness forever. And foolishness it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may take.Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to them.You can never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. You can never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. You can never be alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever you go. Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with you wherever you go.We understand that you do not believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden deep within, under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we will make our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud, and to go through it to the light beyond.There will be only one long practice period today. In the morning, as soon as you get up if possible, sit quietly for some three to five minutes, with your eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat today's idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. Try, instead, to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear of any thoughts that might divert your attention.From time to time, you may repeat the idea if you find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these things. You are trying to leave appearances and approach reality.It is quite possible to reach God. In fact it is very easy, because it is the most natural thing in the world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open, if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring very startling results even the first time it is attempted, and sooner or later it is always successful. But it will never fail completely, and instant success is possible.Throughout the day use today's idea often, repeating it very slowly, preferably with eyes closed. Think of what you are saying; what the words mean. Concentrate on the holiness that they imply about you; on the unfailing companionship that is yours; on the complete protection that surrounds you.You can indeed afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go."-ACIM, Lesson 41I Love you, Niknikki@curlynikki.comBonus episodes every week:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmorningsGo(o)d Mornings merch:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings Support the show

If one is real the other must be false, for what is real denies its opposite. There is no choice in vision but this one. What you decide in this determines all you see and think is real and hold as true. On this one choice does all your world depend, for here have you established what you are, as flesh or spirit in your own belief. If you choose flesh, you never will escape the body as your own reality, for you have chosen that you want it so. But choose the spirit, and all Heaven bends to touch your eyes and bless your holy sight, that you may see the world of flesh no more except to heal and comfort and to bless."-A Course in Miracles, Lesson 31"I am a voice throughout time, spoken by few, and unheard by many.

Many people desire spiritual power in order to enjoy more harmonious experiences. Their purpose in seeking God usually is to enjoy more and better earthly things, to catch larger fish in their nets bigger fish, better fish. But the basis of our work is to "leave your nets," to leave this search for more and better human good and open consciousness to the spiritual realities. Then the things which come to us in the outer world are the fruits of an inward grace. Grace can only be attained by a state of inner silence, a state of inner awareness and receptivity; therefore it is necessary for us to prepare ourselves for the experience of receiving that grace.

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."

"Why is there so much suffering if God is compassion?" Yes, God is compassion. Therefore, there is so much suffering. Unless you pass through suffering, you will not reach the ultimate ecstasy. It is a basic training. Unhappiness is a basic training for the ultimate flowering of happiness. Every suffering is a Buddha seed.How can you reach ecstasy if you have not known agony? If you reach the world of ecstasy without knowing what agony is, you will not be able to recognize it. The recognition is impossible. Only through darkness can light be recognized. You may be living in light, but if you don't know darkness, you cannot know that you are living in light. A fish in the sea cannot know that the sea exists. Only if the fish is thrown out of the sea, does it come to recognize the sea. If it is thrown back into the sea again, the fish will be totally different and the sea will be totally different to the fish. Now the fish will be able to recognize it. The world is just a training ground.

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.

Even while appearing as 'you' in that room, you are beyond it. Agree with God and be at Peace.* Reestablish your oneness with God and Be Love.

All about you shall you find it. You so little realize the Great Power flowing through you. You are like a mighty dynamo, and more and more shall you see miracles rise up as you pass on your way. Only Love much, bless, and give thanks, and know you serve Me day by day as I see fit. You cry out for light and understanding, and you cry not in vain. Great truths shall be revealed to you; listen for My Voice, that these things shall not pass you by. You often feel a need to find Me in ceremonies, monies, in rituals. I feel a crying-out in your soul for some way to contact Me. But listen carefully and ponder much on this-a truth which many lose, and which keeps them from the companionship with Me which otherwise they might have. It is this: In simple ways and by simple means is the best contact made between man and his Maker. You need not seek out places where altar fires burn, or go through deeply impressive ceremonies. Light the altar fires in the throne room of your heart and there shall you find Me, and know Me, through the simple everyday things in life, all about you. Yes, I AM even now in the gentle breeze you hear through the rustling leaves. I AM in the shaft of sunlight slanting across the grass. I AM in the fragrance of the flowers, in the starry sky and the soft moonlight. Learn to know Me through these simple, lovely things of My Creation, and never shall you have need to seek Me out in complex ways. So blest art thou to hear My Voice in the inner thoughts and recesses of your soul, My child, as I bring you these truths. You can serve Me well, for they are as a foundation stone for a life lived in My Service."-Eva Bell Werber. Quiet Talks the Master (Kindle Locations 376-387). Kindle Edition. "I woke up like this.

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.

I AM the dimension where all karmic law is broken, shattered, never to raise its head again. Where I AM, even in the midst of the appearance of war, there is peace; in the midst of the appearance of lack there is abundance. Where I AM, there is no depression. Where I AM, there are no broken bones. Where I AM, there are no germs. Where I AM there is no death, because I AM Life Itself. Such a realm has existed before Time was invented by the mind of man. We are walking in a realm, a realm called I, a realm of Spirit which man calls God and this Spiritual Realm is waiting patiently, just beyond the periphery of every man's consciousness, waiting for him to expand, to open up. And that's the meaning of Rebirth.As your consciousness expands to become aware of this invisible kingdom around you, it enters into your consciousness; and its name is I. It is infinite. It is present. I stand here NOW, the perfect invisible Kingdom, waiting for anyone who has the vision, the understanding, the courage, the desire to serve truth instead of concept. And so we open up. We open out a way for that imprisoned splendor. And when you do, then you receive your signs very quickly, for I AM quick, sharp, powerful. The moment you turn to I, I rushes to you. And then you find power is not in the mind. Power is not in the sword. Power is not in the bomb. Power is not in the human planning and scheming. Power is simply in the receptivity to I. That's your new philosopher stone. I in the midst of you can do all things. Nothing is impossible to I."Herb Fitch 1971 Seminar Tape Series"The Mystical I"Class: 1"I Stand At The Door And Knock"Page 15"Lose your soul in God's Love.
