Oh how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you; and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in me, rest in me, surrender to me in everything. O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.Amen" - Father Ruotolo ******************"When you pray to God, do not make a list of the things you want, as you do for the supermarket. Leave your shopping list behind. Be alone, be hungry, and be awake. Take these three kinds of attentiveness with you and pray only to God. Keep God within your inner heart, be within God, and pray. Then all the forces ruling from within will leave you. In that state, the lone treasure becomes one with the Lone Treasure, and that is true worship."-M.R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen"I and the Father are one." - John 10:30 "The more a soul trusts, the more it will receive...Let that which He has ordained from all ages happen to me." - St. Faustina Diary, 386"When you pray, you only have to ask for two things: You should ask for the light to see the will of God, and you have to ask for the courage to be able to do the will of God." -Venerable Msgr. Aloysius Schwartz"Clinging to money is a lack of trust in God." - Maharajji, Neem Karoli Baba "We are in a worry culture. Every week what you stress about will shift to the next big thing If you choose to be ordinary, but you can choose to be different. When the situation arises, respond with, I don't know, but God does, and somehow this will all work out. Worry is a choice. Trust is the antidote. Choose to be different. The reward is peace."- Grace Yasmine"If you thank your mind, it will relax. If you thank your heart, it will open. If you thank your past, it will integrate. If you thank your symptoms, they will heal. If you thank your shadow, it will vanish. If you thank your life, it will transform. If you thank yourself, the light will dawn."- Matt Kahn 44 Then Jesus cried out, "Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. 45 The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. 46 | have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness." - John 12: 44-46"He's there before he sends instructions. He's there before he puts that dream in your heart. He's there before he sends you to unfamiliar places. He's there. He's already there. He's there in the place of your worries. He's there in the place of fear. Long before you think about it, he's already there. So dear, proceed anyway. The step that you are afraid to take might be the step that you need."- @noellegallo_

Be Here Now under Maharajji's blanket as Baba Here Love, Sunshine and Mad Carl discuss Mad Carl Art, infinite levels, intuitive creativity, using paintings to blow minds, the big bang and much more. All of it is applied to our spiritual awakening happening Here and Now.About Mad Carl:He is a self styled Illustrator . He received the nick name "Mad Carl" in his youth due to a combination of his unique drawing style and unconventional personality.Carl draws inspiration from Music, Nature, Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Primitive Art , the Divine and the Mundane. He seeks to incorporate an element of mystery in his work that he hopes will inspire the viewer to 'fill in the blanks" of the story in any given painting. These elements may appear to have a life of their own , almost existing before and after the painting was made. Ongoing themes in Carl's work include expressionistic cityscapes (grown organically across the canvas) and stylistic bar scenes (populated with bizarre characters and charged emotions.) Carl paints through intuition; sometimes a certain line, brush stroke, color or texture just feels and looks right. He seeks to capture that blurry memory; that corner-of-the-eye hallucination inside of a fever dream, the almost untranslatable feel that is there and then gone.Links” jam at the end of time” because it is a moment in time but for all the characters, they are living in the moment so time for them does not really exist. Feel free to speculate on all the characters feelings and history.https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1Exde49hdY/?Mad painting to the song Behind the Easelhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?si=RzKzkYuq8hulZROH&v=PCpuow5CJqs&feature=youtu.beLove Love LovePlay Play PlayHey!!!It's all OKOM SHAKTI!!!Rest in The Be Love Now moment You get The cosmic joke

All of it is applied to our spiritual awakening.“People sometimes are turned off by meditation when they begin with a method that is too hard for them. It helps to use a method which uses your natural tendencies, and so reinforces a positive attitude. At the outset choose a method that harmonizes with what you are already good at, a method that interests you. Follow it until you feel a strengthened connection to a quietness of mind, to a meditative awareness, to God.”- Ram Dass Big Love Sangha https://biglovesangha.godaddysites.com Baba's Feed Projecthttps://babasfeedproject.love/ Love Love LovePlay Play PlayHey!!!It's all OKOM SHAKTI!!!Rest in The Be Love Now moment You get The cosmic joke

Ram Dass explores the power and trials of relationships based on truth. “The truth is scary,” he says. “Truth keeps shattering your models of how you think it ought to be.” He explains how dualistic methods such as relationships and devotional yoga can help bring us into non-dualism and straddle the thin line between chaos and cosmos.Want to participate in the discussion about this episode of Here and Now? Join us for the SoulPod Meet-Up on October 22nd at 8 p.m. EDT.“Well, the problem with truth is that we are all these kinds of animal/human/unconscious – we all have all this kind of stuff going back and forth. You might look at your partner and suddenly they look like a skeleton. ‘Good morning dear, you look absolutely ghastly.' Can you handle that in a relationship? A relationship based on truth follows the very fine line between chaos and cosmos.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You look at a flower and appreciate the flower and behind the flower, there's that beauty, that truth which could bring this beauty. If this flower does not remind you of the eternal beauty, of the eternal truth, then it has not fulfilled its purpose. So behind every activity, pleasant, unpleasant, chaotic, harmonious, is one Divinity." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "All I know and all I can say is, God is preparing me for something.

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 Support the show

He is a being who is with me always, and sometimes he's with me so closely that I am him – I'm saying things to people or I'm acting a certain way towards people and I look at their reaction and I see that they're not reacting to me, they're reacting to him.” - Ram Dass on Neem Karoli Baba Love Love Love Play Play Play Hey!!!

Listen for the place inside that feels like, ‘I have', instead of ‘I want', by: Hearing the thought/desire  Immediately shifting to feeling Silent-Love View every desire today as an alarm reminding you to BE Love, again.  Reminding you to RELAX, again.  To lower your shoulders, again. To smile, again.  In this way, each desire is immediately dissolved in Love— the formless essence of both the thought and material form.  Love is the formless essence of everything, including you, and when you're aware as That, you lack nothing. You are already whole and when you're conscious of It, you project a wholly and holy abundant world. As desire disappears, fulfillment appears. Be still in This. Trust. Smile. I Love you!

Consciousness is mind at rest." -Rupert Spira "When the mind becomes still, the world begins to disappear (becomes unreal)." -Robert Adams "You're looking for beauty outside of yourself. You have to learn that you are the beauty. You are the joy. You are the flowers that you enjoy so much. You are the trees and the ocean and the sky and the mountains. It's all coming from you.  If you really realize that you are that, would you run around seeking things? Everything that you want is within you. You are that. Even relationships. You look for relationship with someone so they can make you happy, so you can enjoy their company, so you can love them, so you can be with them. But I can assure you that within yourself is a greater love, a greater joy, a greater peace than you can ever find anywhere else. True. You've got it all. There is nothing, no thing that you need from the outside.

When you have a desire for something, don't act on it and it will go away. If you desire to drink this cup of tea, don't, and the desire for it will go away.” -Maharajji

The vibration, (t)His Love you feel, must be shared. It must be expressed. Ask Him how, but in the meantime, give It silently. Feel It where you see those who are suffering.  Feel It while looking at those who are joyous. Feel It without no breaks, no brakes. And It will fulfill you and the whole world appearance.

Then the mind will be empty." - Maharajji  "When someone asks what there is to do, light the candle in his hand. Like this. How did Joseph's scent come to Jacob? How did Jacob's sight return Huuuu. A little wind cleans the eyes. Like this." - Rumi Read more about my time with Sister Grazielle, HERE!

Right now you're seeing the dark veil. You're seeing darkness where only Light is,  thoughts where only Silence is. Keep choosing the Silence. See that you have a choice to make this effortless effort over and over again. Like to sit down into the Silence over and over again.  To sit up into the Silence over and over again. To breathe into It. To thank It. Not with words, but with more Silence. For you to become more and more silent, more and more still. And that stillness, not necessarily meaning of the body, but of those thoughts,  of those doubts- they're all about the world. When you bring your mind to God, He holds it still. He holds you still in Him.  We practice meditating until the real meditation comes. Maharajji would say, you chant from until the real Ram sounds. I'm hearing the real Ram now, the Ramming. The Father Speaking blessings upon you. He's raining down blessings upon you. Put your hands out in front of you, palms up and receive. I Love You I Am You nik  ************** Support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "Whoever cannot find God in their heart, seeks God in a temple. Whoever cannot find love within, seeks love from others. If you realize that, all seeking stops. There is nothing to be found outside. Only pain. And that precisely what the pain is trying to teach us. To look within." - @michalism "Light is always within us. When the mind is settled, we see that Light. When this state is developed, we see it everywhere, even with open physical eyes. You see the dark veil, and the Light within that. In the Light you see the blue sky and the golden center shining resplendently -- in the still pose of mind; and when you try to make and use your own efforts, your mind's still pose is disturbed, and you lose it. We need not make any efforts. Our clutching will stand in the way and retard our progress. We should, however, make effortless effort." - Kirpal Singh  "Give up the mind that wants to meditate and calm down. Focus on nothing at all. Disturbing thoughts and lazy indifference are not liberation. Remain unstained by thoughts and circumstances. Rest relaxed in the uncontrived nature of mind, free of elaboration or alteration. For the benefit of one and all, simply preserve peerless awareness." - Dakini Sukhasiddhi

The Promise is on the other side of forgiveness.  You're not seeing It yet because you haven't forgiven yet.  YOU MUST FORGIVE. Yourself, others... for not recognizing that You, Yourself are the 'others'.  Loving is forgiving.  "Love is the bridge between you and everything." -  Rumi I Love you,  nik "His love comes forth, so to speak, from himself and enters into our midst." - Benedict 16th "He was crucified so that his spirit could spread thoughout the world. He sacrificed his body for the dharma. He never died, he never died. He is Atman (the Soul), living in the hearts of all." -Neem Karoli Baba "On my second trip to India in 1970, during my time with Maharaiji, he would say to me simply, "Love everyone." And all I could say was, "I can't do that, Maharajji." That was because I was identified with my ego, which could not possibly love everyone. He would come up to me, nose to nose, and repeat, "Ram Dass, love everyone." Over time this instruction took hold. My identification with ego shifted, and my perspective changed to one that came from my spiritual heart or soul. From the point of view of my soul, I was able to look at everyone as souls, and I loved each one of them. Maharajji's instruction led me to perceive myself and everyone else as loving souls. Ego is here, in your head, which is who "I think I am." If you see those thoughts and then go down to the heart, the spiritual heart, down there you say, I am loving awareness. I am loving awareness. I am loving awareness. Whisper it: I am loving awareness. Everything is love. Everything is a manifestation of love. Table. Tree. Yourself. Universe. The universes. They're all made up of love. And once you bathe in that love, you dive into an ocean of love. Oh, it feels so wonderful! Love. Compassion. Love. Compassion. We meet in that love. We meet inside. Inside our spiritual heart. In Hinduism it's called the atman. It's God, guru, and self together inside. I'll see you inside." - Ram Dass Maui, July 2014

Notice that even with eyes open, you can still sense the presence of the darkness behind closed eyes. Even with these words present, those thoughts present,  you can always sense this Silence. When that body is anxious, you can still sense this Rest,  this Joy in the background. His Light is Everywhere. It's at your office.  It's in the kitchen.  It's in the car,  in traffic, too.  It's at the store, at the hospital, in that waiting room. Just sit (t)here. Stand (t)here for a moment. Eyes closed, and feel, 'God is here, still.' 'God is greater, still.'  And you are That, You are!

Love is appearing as a European retreat right now, but I'll be back with new episodes on Jan 8th! I love you! I am you!  ****** Chanting keeps my eyes on God.  My 'I' in, and AS God.  I chant Ram, Ram, Ram all throughout the day as often as I can remember (60%-75% of my waking hours-- aloud when I'm alone, silently when I'm with others).  When I'm hearing the Sound (sounds like a high pitch 'eeeeee', here), I stop chanting and just Hear. Sometimes I continue to chant Ram WHILE hearing the Sound at the same time. Whether I'm chanting or hearing, I'm KNOWING by feeling that I'm not here as this body, as this scene, as this moment, I'm here as Love.  I'm here as the Sound. I'm here as Light.  The Sound, the Name breaks my belief in the world, in my problems, in myself. This is a 24/7 365 practice. It must go on constantly. It is your rope. Your lifeline. Keep climbing and don't let go!      Check out this excerpt on mantras from Polishing the Mirror by Ram Dass- "Keep repeating your mantra consciously until it has become a strong habit. Go for a walk and say the mantra all the time you are walking. Notice everything but keep the mantra going. Keep realizing that being with God is your focus… and therefore everything you see is part of God. Maharajji said, “The best form in which to worship God is all forms.” Everyone you meet is Ram who has come to teach you something. Mantra is remembering that place in the heart – Ram, Ram, Ram. Say it, mouth it, think it, feel it in your heart. You are continually meeting and merging into perfection. The Divine is present in the soul of all living beings and in the Universe."

But there is one thought that is continuous, though it is mostly sub-conscious: 'I am the body? This is the string on which all other thoughts are threaded. Once we identify ourselves with the body by thinking this thought, maya follows. It also follows that if we cease to identify with the body, maya will not affect us anymore." - Annamalai Swami  "You have caught My Voice, and the meaning of the words I speak is becoming plain in your heart.

Although you can't skip to the part of the day where you're already done with everything, you can skip to that feeling. You can stream this feeling even while you're at the office today. While you're at the store, you can BE 'Saturday'. You can be Sunday morning. You don't have to be Monday. You don't have to be tired... the 'character' you're playing is, your character can NOT, today, but You can. You can be Love. You can be infinitely Patient, even when they're not, because You are Faith, You are Life. And You trust your Self. You're no longer imitating that character. Taking on their fears and their personality traits, the way they speak. You are the Silent One. The Ageless One, the Faceless One, the Fearless One, the Still One. Remember? :) Welcome Back.

Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect." -Romans 12:2 "All the complexities of the human condition can be rendered null and void if you touch the hem of the Christ Robe in your meditations. Fear, conflict, pain, sorrow, and emotional turmoil can all be dissolved in a moment of God-contact." -Don Mardak  "A moment with the beloved and the river changes its course." -Anandamayi Ma  "Stillness is the only thing in this world that has no form. But then, it is not really a thing, and it is not of this world." -Eckhart Tolle "He who utters the Name of God while walking gets the merit of a sacrifice at every step. His body becomes a place of pilgrimage. He who repeats God's Name while working always finds perfect peace. He who utters the Name of God while eating gets the merit of a fast even though he has taken his meals. Even if one were to give in charity the whole earth encircled by the seas it would not equal the merit of repeating the Name. By the power of the Name one will know what cannot be known, One will see what cannot be seen, One will speak what cannot be spoken, One will meet what cannot be met. Tuka says, Incalculable is the gain that comes from repeating the Name of God." -Sant Tukaram

Grammy-nominated Kirtan singer and GoOD Friend, Krishna Das (KD) joins Nikki to talk about the first mantra he was given by Ram Dass (that saved him from a car accident), his experiences meeting Indian saints like Anandamayi Ma, his personal spiritual practice (chanting versus meditating), one of his favorite Christian Saints, St. Seraphim of Sarov, his time in India with Neem Karoli Baba aka Maharajji, and his time now, still living in the boundless presence that is his Guru. They cover how to manage doubt,  how to grow in Faith, and KD shares the mantra he turns to when maya/illusion gets very loud. Finally, KD leads a the beautiful 'Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram' chant. Watch on Youtube! राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम "The words of these chants are called the divine names and they come from a place that's deeper than our hearts and our thoughts, deeper than the mind. And so as we sing them they turn us towards ourselves, into ourselves. They bring us in, and as we offer ourselves into the experience, the experience changes us. These chants have no meaning other than the experience that we have by doing them. They come from the Hindu tradition, but it's not about being a Hindu, or believing anything in advance. It's just about doing it, and experiencing. Nothing to join, you just sit down and sing. The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy." - Krishna Das  The 'Sri Ram' Mantra is known as the victory mantra.

Yeshua, or Jesus, or Christ, or Yahweh, or Jehovah, or Allah, or Rama, or Krishna.  It doesn't matter which Name, which language,  or which story you most relate to of (Y)ours.  When I say take My Name,  I mean take this Feeling. Melt into Me. Dissolve in Me.  And let Me take over today.  Let Me speak today.  You don't have to worry about what to say. Let Me do it.  Let Me pray.  Silence is my prayer. "Thank you, Father," is my prayer. "It is done." "It's finished." is my prayer. And all of my prayers are answered instantly. So what do you have left to worry about? What do you have left to think about? To doubt about? Stop running. You're home. Say, "I'm home."

The cave still remains at the back of the temple and there is a strong feeling of continuity of spirit there. Once Maharajji, Siddhi Ma, and Jivanti Ma went at night to the site that was later to become the temple at Kainchi. While the Ma's sat by the roadside, Maharajji crossed over the river and didn't come back for four or five hours. When he did, he said, “I hear the sound here.

When you do enter your room, you will find that the long wait has done you some kind of good which you would not have had otherwise. But you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light: and of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house. And above all you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and paneling." - C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity "Being angry is like beating yourself up from the inside." - Sadhguru "Let July be July. Let August be Augus And let yourself just be even in the uncertainty.

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

Only God is repeating God's Name. The highest version of you is the only one that can remember to take the Name. When you're hearing the Name within, you're being your highest Self. So sit up higher. Look higher. What do you hear? This is (Y)our Silence. Only (Y)our Silence will save you. And you don't have to silence your thoughts to hear It. You don't have to silence me to hear It. You don't have to silence your children, your husband, your wife to hear It. You are It. Say that- "I Am it.I Am That. I'm the One, that serves the One,appearing as the all.When I'm chanting the Name, my highest GoOD is happening.  It is being done and It is done.  I Love you, I Am you, nik Support the show▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings__________________________________________Today's Quotes:    "...the Christian Bible says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1) This Word is the inner Sound. It has also been called the Logos, Shabd, Tao, Soundstream, Naam, or the Celestial Music. Master Ching Hai says, "It vibrates within all life and sustains the whole universe. This inner Melody can heal all wounds, fulfill all desires, and quench all worldly thirst. It is all powerful and all love. It is because we are made of this Sound that contact with it brings peace and contentment to our hearts. After listening to this Sound, our whole being changes and our entire outlook on life is greatly altered for the better."-http://www.Godsdirectcontact.eu "The mind is just what you are imagining awareness to be.

Like, at this moment, your heart is beating, but you're not beating your heart; your awareness isn't connected with your heart beating, it's just going on. And as your awareness draws back, and you find a way to start to remain in awareness without identification, then the phenomena of the universe continue to happen, but the awareness is no longer identified with the act. It's what the Gita calls breaking the identification with being the actor. It doesn't mean that the actions aren't happening.” – Ram DassAbout Ram Dass:Ram Dass' spirit has been a guiding light for generations, carrying along millions on the journey.

Once this is realized, there is no room for misgivings."-Maharajji "Whistle while you twerk." - The Yin Yang Twins "In this life, we learn how to flow with the river, and stop fighting with the rocks."-Lauren London "Flow of Grace." - Krishna Das "When we no longer search for the peace that the world can give, but seek only "my peace," the gates of consciousness open to admit the spiritual light which becomes the life of our being and our body. 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. This is the whole purpose of meditation."-Joel Goldsmith, "The Art of Meditation" (Chapter 2, The Purpose)Support the show

Personally, He's teaching us, "Perform this yajña you rascal, and you'll get everything. You'll get everything." Now, where is the proof? The proof is this Krsna consciousness movement.

When I share the recording of the Mahamantra soon, I'll share my favorite details and scriptural quotes about it in the show notes. If you have any questions about my other favorite mantras feel free to email me! And know that no matter what name of God you chant, the same One hears It! All messages reach the same address! I Love you,Nik nikki@curlynikki.com"Don't consider chanting the name to be a mere practice. The Name itself is God."-Muktananda"Ram's form left this world, Krishna's form left this world, but the name stays. By reciting his name, everything is achieved." Shaking his head, he reiterated, "Everything is achieved."-Maharajji "Chanting is the means of attaining everything. Through chanting, you are purified on the inside. Through chanting, love arises. If love arises, it means that you have attained God, because God's true nature is love. You sing His name so that love will arise. No good deed can equal chanting. Tulsidas said that by chanting the Name of God everything becomes pure and auspicious."-Muktananda "From the fruits of his mouth a man fills his stomach, And from the fruits of his lips he will fill himself to the full.Life and death are in the hand of a tongue, And those who rule over it will eat thefruits thereof."-Proverbs 18: 20-21CHALLENGE RULESEach day (beginning 4/26):1. Wake up an hour earlier to chant (think of it like your actual job that will pay you actual dollars) at least 12 rounds on your mala/prayer beads while hearing the words clearly. Hear the Names of God, even though your mind will be split and doing/thinking about other things. Keep bringing your attention back to the sound of the Name. That's all. Keep coming back to the Sound on your tongue and silence in your head. 2. Chant your last 4 rounds in the evening before bed. Throughout the day, allow your attention to be directed toward the mantra which will still be running in the background-- let It hangout in the foreground as you run errands, eat, drive, shower, etc. When you're home doing it formally, you can chant it just barely audibly, or loudly if you choose, but while out, you can keep it going silently within, or just allow your lips to move slightly with no sound. And that's it! We're starting with a week so you can 'try it on', but if you keep it up for at least 6 months, you'll drastically change your entire life for the better!  Support the show

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.

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. I swear there is no other way."-Rumi  "When I asked Maharajji how to meditate, he said, “Meditate like Christ.” I said, “Maharajji, how did Christ meditate?” He became very quiet and closed his eyes. After a few minutes, he had a blissful expression on his face and a tear trickled down his cheek. He opened his eyes and said, “He lost himself in Love.” Try the meditation of losing yourself in love.."-Ram Dass Support the show
