'I' didn't bring you here to leave you.Do you trust that?Do you trust Me?Then show me. Relax enough to feel Me. That Feeling IS My Name. Call It."Become conscious of Being Conscious. Eventually, the false 'I' will vanish, leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent 'I', Self-Consciousness Itself." - Ramana Maharshi******I call It Jesus. I call It Christ. I call It Love, still. Only Love is here.But when I say, 'Only Jesus is here',there is a dimension of feeling that has yet to be experienced. It feels more personal.It makes me take things less personally.It makes me more humble.I live in a posture of bowing,of worshiping everything,of seeing Him everywhere. Which is why one prayer is not better than another one.One religion is not better than another.Love is Love,and it does not belong to any one religion.This body goes into a Catholic church daily and serves as often as possible.It receives the Eucharist as often as possible.But the Spirit,this Awareness, that's Here, the church is in It,the temples,the ashrams are all in Here.I can't fit in them.Nikki goes to them.She likes to visit them,but I can't fit in any box.I Am That, and You are That.And every time you remember that,"All the saints salute you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, is with you." - 2 Corinthians 13-14I Love you, nik p.s.

In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the our Father: "Hallowed be thy Name", that is, be glorified in my need. "Thy kingdom come", that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven", that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: "Thy will be done", which is the same as saying: "You take care of it", I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations. 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_______________________________"Once (people] let go of the reins and just kind of put their trust in the divine, in God - He will basically change your entire life the way He did mine." Jonathan Roumie"There are times when the burden of need and our own limitations might tempt us to become discouraged. But precisely then we are helped by the knowledge that, in the end, we are only instruments in the Lord's hands; and this knowledge frees us from the presumption of thinking that we alone are personally responsible for building a better world. In all humility we will do what we can, and in all humility we will entrust the rest to the Lord. It is God who governs the world, not we. We offer him our service only to the extent that we can, and for as long as he grants us the strength. To do all we can with what strength we have, however, is the task which keeps the good servant of Jesus Christ always at work: "The love of Christ urges us on" (2 Cor 5:14). - Pope Benedict XVI, God is Love: Deus Caritas Est"The Light you give off did not come from a pelvis. Your features did not begin in semen. Don't try to hide inside anger, radiance that cannot be hidden." - Rumi "People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God; It was never between you and them anyway." -Inscribed on the wall of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta'Prayer is the natural outgushing of a soul in communion with Jesus. Just as the leaf and the fruit will come out of the vine-branch without any conscious effort on the part of the branch, but simply because of its living union with the stem, so prayer buds, and blossoms, and fruits out of souls abiding in Jesus' -Charles Spurgeon

7:15 AM// Kannagi speaks to Avika, a regenerative farmer in Chiang MaiOn a recent episode of 3CR's Women on the Line, Kannagi spoke to Avika, a regenerative farmer in Chiang Mai, Thailand who is passionate about regenerating soil and working with farmers across the country to make regenerative farming tools and techniques more accessible.

The Antipoverty Centre was established in 2021 and are a collective of activists, advocates and researchers with direct, contemporary experience of poverty and unemployment. Their mission is to shift how people speak about and respond to poverty and unemployment in this colony.

At University of Melbourne, students and staff came together to demand the university cut academic ties with so-called Israel, and divest from research partnerships with weapon manufacturers that are complicit in the ongoing genocide in Palestine. We will now listen to two speakers from the rally at University of Melbourne. Sophie Rudolph is a research fellow from the Faculty of Education who spoke on behalf of the National Tertiary Education Union and staff members who are in opposition of the increasing repression against protests on campus, as well as the proposed anti-semitism definition by Universities Australia. After that, we will hear from Pipin, an international student from Indonesia, highlighting the global and interconnected struggle for liberation and democracy. For more information, see @studentsagainstwar_unimelb and @melbournebergerak on Instagram 8:00 AM// Avalon Airshow picketCommunity members rallied against the Avalon air-show last week, highlighting the event as a weapons expo. On Friday (28 Mar) Amy Aednat [pron: Eed-Nat] Ciara spoke to Jaimie Jeffrey from IPAN (Independent and Peaceful Australia Network) Geelong-Southwest and community member Cheryl about the many levels of government involvement in the arms trade, Australia's role in producing weapon components and how this contributes to genocide, how it contributes to the promotion of militarism. Jamie and Cheryl also discuss local community's thoughts and pushback on the day. This recording was made on the ground at the blockade.  8:15 AM// Anti-trans campaign by Australian Christian LobbyOn Sunday, for 3CR's Trans Day of Audibility 2025, Amy from Kill Your Lawn and Kick Your Fence and Local Food Connections, interviewed non-binary sex worker Charlie Bear about their research into the Australian Christian Lobby's anti-trans and anti-sex worker campaigning. This is a timely conversation as Russell's Vought's and the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 brings a far-right Christian nationalism into law making in the USA.

Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this: 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""The Name of the LORD is a strong fortress, the godly run to Him,and are safe. - Proverbs 18:10"There are days when you give it to God and it still hurts. And you are still doing fine." - Noelle Gallo "God's plan over mine. Jeremiah 29:11" - @betteryoulivingThe state of your inner being as well as your mental health has significantly improved. You went through so much. You dealt with a lot. As a result, much of that toxicity remained within you as emotional anchors to stress and pain. We hope you realize how much of that you released, and replaced it with harmony and balance. While there's still room for improvement, recognize all you overcame at this moment. This inner boost is spilling over into your outer world. Eventually, your environment will reflect all the work you've put in." - @SourceMessages

Grace Is Here.It has found you.Because you have found the courage to say,"Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven."And actually mean it. You are one of the very few who is walking this narrow path,and I am blessed to be on It with you.To be able to look up ahead sometimes,or look behind me sometimes,and see you here.For us to both be stumbling together.Sometimes, walking side-by-side,hand in hand,reminding each other, "Only Love is here, don't forget!" Every time you're scared, I'm whispering it to you.Every time I'm scared, you're whispering it to me.She's whispering to us.He's whispering it to Her.I love you. I love you.

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. Please support the show!▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings"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

ONLY LOVE by Jordan Smith[VERSE 1]How much more are we gonna take?How many nights do we have to lie awake?How many tears are we gonna cry?We can wish until the well runs dry[PRE-Chorus]But what happens when the sky above runs out of every single shooting star?And what if every good intentions only meant to go so far?[Chorus]Only love, only love can save us nowKeep the world from burning down, down, down.

What is Creation?Creation is the sum of all God's Thoughts, in number infinite, and everywhere without all limit. Only Love creates, and only like Itself. There was no time when all that It created was not there. Nor will there be a time when anything that It created suffers any loss. Forever and forever are God's Thoughts exactly as they were and as they are, unchanged through time and after time is done.God's Thoughts are given all the power that their own Creator has. For He would add to Love by its extension. Thus His Son shares in creation, and must therefore share in power to create. What God has willed to be forever one will still be one when time is over; and will not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it was before the thought of time began.Creation is the opposite of all illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the holy Son of God, for in creation is His Will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the Whole. Its oneness is forever guaranteed inviolate; forever held within His holy Will, beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection and of any spot upon its sinlessness.We are creation; we the Sons of God. We seem to be discrete, and unaware of our eternal unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. For Love remains with all Its Thoughts, Its sureness being theirs. God's memory is in our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us.Our Father calls to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in the Name of its Creator, Holiness Itself, Whose holiness His Own creation shares; Whose holiness is still a part of us.LESSON 321Father, My Freedom Is In You Alone.I did not understand what made me free, nor what my freedom is, nor where to look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me. Now I would guide myself no more. For I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me, and the way to You is opening and clear to me at last. Father, my freedom is in You alone. Father, it is my will that I return.Today we answer for the world, which will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our freedom through the certain way our Father has established. And how sure is all the world's salvation, when we learn our freedom can be found in God alone.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

We at The Wolf love hard rock, heavy metal, prog rock, classic rock and 80s MTV. While Bryan Adams may match a couple of those categories, we can't say that he was one of our very favorites. Because we were bombarded with him from 1983-86 on US radio and MTV and because girls seemed to like him (maybe his music too), he just didn't do it for us. However, his 5th album released in 1984, Reckless, boasts hit after hit like Heaven, Summer of '69, Run To You, Somebody, and It's Only Love. So as it turns 40 on November 5, we thought it would be a good idea to bring in friend to the show and Canadian rock guru Chris from My Rock N Roll Heaven to give us his perspective. 1984 not only saw the release of Reckless but the launch of Canadian MTV-type station Much Music which not only played videos but had to play a certain percentage of Canadian artists. That helped propel the album to become the first diamond selling album (1,000,000 in sales for Canada) in Canada by a Canadian artist. Aided in the songwriting by Jim Vallance and backed up on guitar by long time collaborator Keith Scott, Bryan had huge success in his home country, in the US and around the globe. The videos all had a theme and featured the same actor (Lysette Anthony) which helped create an image for Adams in the US. We go track x track and enlist Chris's Canadian perspective to see why this album was so popular and how it stands the test of time.

Jesus is saying, "I'm taking over.Rest this weekend.Rest in Me.Trust in Me.Give Me your mess,give it to Me,and watch what I give back." We aren't affirming, "I am Love, I am Love, I am Love..."We're feeling It.You're being It without the words.You're hearing It without hearing It.Can you feel the difference?The effort of constantly affirming, 'I am Love',versus ceaselessly praying The Feeling-Love, Love, Love.That's why it's really powerful to practice on your rosary or mala.Not the word, L-O-V-E,but The Feeling on every bead.And then putting the beads down.And then becoming as if a bead.You're the Love that you think you practice,that you think you remember and forget,that you think you turn to.There's no one turning.Only Love is here.I Love you,nik__________My new book, 'Wake Up to Love' is a lifetime in the making (and now a Top New Release, thanks to you!).Divinely inspired.Love led.And WILL bring forth the ‘more' in you. ❤️‍

"Unmasking Illusions: A Journey Beyond Linear Time and Specialness" - A Movie Commentary by David HoffmeisterDavid's movie commentary dismantles our belief and perception of linear time, private thoughts, and people-pleasing. Private thoughts are defense mechanisms against the Holy Instance, love, light, and simplicity. Jesus teaches that the present moment is the closest approximation of eternity, and all mystics and saints emphasize being present and bringing God's love. However, the linear world of time and space is like a mask pulled over, made out of specialness.Jesus explains that specialness is the ego, and specialness made this world. This goes beyond the concept of special relationships and what many people think about special relationships. Everything that seems to exist independently is specialness.David's movie commentary helps us disassemble our faulty perceptions and show that things we assume are unreal. Jesus teaches us that God did not make trees, the world, or time. He also explains that nothing real can be threatened, and therein lies the peace of God.The day's lesson is that illusions cannot satisfy God's Son. Carol King's song "Only Love is Real" illustrates this point. The movie commentary reminds us that everything else is an illusion, and understanding the truth about the world is crucial for overcoming our faulty perceptions and embracing God's love.To participate online in a Tribe of Christ Movie Workshop with David Hoffmeister, join our online community: https://programs.the-christ.net/products/communities/tribe-of-christIf you want to know more about David Hoffmeister and Living Miracles events, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/events.Recorded online, September 28, 2024, at La Casa Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

There is only one problem in life we will ever have to solve. This is our "imagined separation" we think we have from our Source, from God, from the Universal Life Force. We think there is "death" in the midst of the truth of Eternal Life. I imagine an "alternative" to the Absolute Truth. LOVE has no opposite in truth, but we have projected all kinds of conflict and hate in a Universe that is Only Love.  In Truth and Beauty there are no "problems." This is the Heaven State in which we are created. This END of "separation" is the true UNION with the Universal Life Force, our Source, and our full realization of this fact.  Only in our "projection of thought" could we "dream up" a "hell” of “separation,” full of “problems." When we bring our "thought" to an end, we make contact with a state of consciousness free of all "problems." We extend the Will of our Creator when we act from the place of Pure Joy. This is “pure Consciousness”— “Sat, Chit, Ananda.” Then, the Action we do in Life coming from this Pure Consciousness would have to yield results of Pure Joy. There is nothing but Grace in this emanation from Truth. There is tremendous productivity and satisfaction in this State of Being free of all "problems." Our Actions produce Love, Peace and Joy—free of all projections of pain and suffering. Let us recognize our "problem” (of separation) has been solved. We are ONE with LOVE, and embrace a State of Being free of all problems of conflict and sorrow. 

Watch my interview with NBC's WFLA Daytime, HERE, thanks to my GoOD Friend, Farron Hipp!  https://www.wfla.com/daytime/podcast-host-puts-love-in-print-with-upcoming-book/ "If God removed every bit of darkness from your life, then you'd still be afraid of the dark next time it came. He's actually making you the kind of person who can have authority over darkness so that whenever you meet it, you rule over it. That's the good news." - Jim Baker  Every time you start to think,  stop and Feel.  And recognize every thought is happening in Him.  And when that recognition comes, the thought goes, and only happiness stands. Only Love stands. Only He stands, and faces everything you thought you had to face alone.  Be not afraid.  I Love you, nik __________________________________________ QUOTES "You're safe. It's just change." - Milkwaygurl  "Human history is the long, terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy." - CS Lewis "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"- 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Goliath. Many of you have met your giants. You're facing them this year. For some, it's caused you to want to retreat. It's caused you to grow faint and weary. You're starting to feel as though you can no longer fight them. But God sent me to tell someone today....the giants in front of you are proof that you have stepped into your season of fulfillment! The giants are a sign that you've made it!" -@Godlywaiting "Become completely empty, calm the restlessness of the mind, then you will be able to see everything appear from nothingness." -Lao Tzu "Explanation by the tongue makes most things clear, But love unexplained is clearer."-Rumi "Let go of what has happened, let go of what may come, let go of what is happening now. Don't try to figure anything out, don't try to make anything happen. Relax in the present and rest." -Mahasiddha Tilopa "O Jesus, I surrender myself to you; take care of everything." Father Dolindo

'I' didn't bring you here to leave you. Do you trust that? Do you trust Me? Then show me.  Relax enough to feel Me.  That Feeling IS My Name.  Call It. "Become conscious of Being Conscious.  Eventually, the false 'I' will vanish, leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent 'I', Self-Consciousness Itself." - Ramana Maharshi ****** I call It Jesus.  I call It Christ.  I call It Love, still.  Only Love is here. But when I say, 'Only Jesus is here', there is a dimension of feeling that has yet to be experienced.  It feels more personal. It makes me take things less personally. It makes me more humble. I live in a posture of bowing, of worshiping everything, of seeing Him everywhere.  Which is why one prayer is not better than another one. One religion is not better than another. Love is Love, and it does not belong to any one religion. This body goes into a Catholic church daily and serves as often as possible. It receives the Eucharist as often as possible. But the Spirit, this Awareness, that's Here,  the church is in It, the temples, the ashrams are all in Here. I can't fit in them. Nikki goes to them. She likes to visit them, but I can't fit in any box. I Am That, and You are That. And every time you remember that, "All the saints salute you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, is with you." - 2 Corinthians 13-14 I Love you,  nik  p.s.

Surrender Novena #2 (All nine days in one place!)   Day 3- Surrender Novena  How many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need, turns to me, looks at me and says to me; "You take care of it", then closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the our Father: "Hallowed be thy Name", that is, be glorified in my need. "Thy kingdom come", that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven", that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: "Thy will be done", which is the same as saying: "You take care of it", I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations.  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 _______________________________ "Once (people] let go of the reins and just kind of put their trust in the divine, in God - He will basically change your entire life the way He did mine." Jonathan Roumie "There are times when the burden of need and our own limitations might tempt us to become discouraged. But precisely then we are helped by the knowledge that, in the end, we are only instruments in the Lord's hands; and this knowledge frees us from the presumption of thinking that we alone are personally responsible for building a better world. In all humility we will do what we can, and in all humility we will entrust the rest to the Lord. It is God who governs the world, not we. We offer him our service only to the extent that we can, and for as long as he grants us the strength. To do all we can with what strength we have, however, is the task which keeps the good servant of Jesus Christ always at work: "The love of Christ urges us on" (2 Cor 5:14). - Pope Benedict XVI, God is Love: Deus Caritas Est "The Light you give off did not come from a pelvis. Your features did not begin in semen. Don't try to hide inside anger, radiance that cannot be hidden." - Rumi  "People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway. If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway. What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway. The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway. You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and your God; It was never between you and them anyway." -Inscribed on the wall of Mother Teresa's children's home in Calcutta 'Prayer is the natural outgushing of a soul in communion with Jesus. Just as the leaf and the fruit will come out of the vine-branch without any conscious effort on the part of the branch, but simply because of its living union with the stem, so prayer buds, and blossoms, and fruits out of souls abiding in Jesus' -Charles Spurgeon

His Favor is upon you, "and a thousand generations, and your family, and your children, and their children, and their children."* And you know this, while knowing nothing is here,  while knowing nothing has happened, and nothing will happen, and that that's the only way to worship the God that was,  and is,  and is to come.  Only Love is here.  I Love you, nik  nikki@curlynikki.com Please support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings ▶▶ Cash App $NikWalton  *- The Blessing, Elevation Worship __________________________________________ Surrender Novena Day 9 - Father Dolindo Ruotolo  "Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this:  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" "The Name of the LORD is a strong fortress,  the godly run to Him, and are safe. - Proverbs 18:10 "There are days when you give it to God and it still hurts. And you are still doing fine." - Noelle Gallo  "God's plan over mine. Jeremiah 29:11" - @betteryouliving The state of your inner being as well as your mental health has significantly improved. You went through so much. You dealt with a lot. As a result, much of that toxicity remained within you as emotional anchors to stress and pain. We hope you realize how much of that you released, and replaced it with harmony and balance. While there's still room for improvement, recognize all you overcame at this moment. This inner boost is spilling over into your outer world. Eventually, your environment will reflect all the work you've put in." - @SourceMessages

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

This world is in the valley.  Many old souls have been trying to climb this mountain in reverse gear.  Even if they climb and reach near Shiva, they roll back down to the valley because of their attachments.  Climbing this mountain is not as important as changing the orientation: Turn your back to the valley and face toward Shiva." - @ImmortalTalks on IG Shiva is your innermost Self and the alert snake, with its raised hood around His neck represents PEAK Loving Awareness, Shakti, GoOD Energy on TEN!  As you read these words feel your back straightening, your shoulders relaxing down and back, your face smiling, your energy rising, Love peaking.  There!

Want to know what '60s megastar Tommy James is doing today? Can you name Tommy James and the Shondells biggest hit? Would you like to know Tommy's life story? Tune in here because few stars had a better run on the pop charts in the '60s than Tommy James. As the leader of his group the Shondells, Tommy had a way with upbeat pop tunes that packied a solid rock & roll punch. The creator of songs like "Hanky Panky," "I Think We're Alone Now," "It's Only Love," and "Mony Mony" - the soundtrack to a generation. As the decade changed so did Tommy writing and recording hits like "Crimson and Clover" and "Crystal Blue Persuasion." As a solo artist in the early '70s, Tommy adopted a more mature and soulful (but still radio-friendly) style with "Draggin' the Line" and "I'm Comin' Home." and he's still doing it today - embracing contemporary pop styles, with electronic instruments and elements of dance-pop and hip-hop. Tommy's journey began in Niles, Michigan, where he formed his first band, The Echoes, at the age of 12. His early passion for music set the stage for his future success. The Shondells, initially formed as The Tornadoes, evolved with his vision, and their innovative fusion of rock, pop, and psychedelia set them apart. Following the success of "Hanky Panky," Tommy James and the Shondells produced a series of chart-toppers. Then, as a solo artist he did it again. Tommy's autobiography, "Me, the Mob, and the Music," revealed his tumultuous relationship with Morris Levy of Roulette Records, adding depth to his legacy and offering a glimpse into the darker side of the music industry. Tommy James was a pioneer in studio experimentation, using cutting-edge effects to create unique sounds that influenced future generations of musicians. His music captured the spirit of the '60s. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, Tommy James' enduring legacy is a testament to his impact on rock and pop music history. His ongoing contributions to music and his influence on artists like Billy Idol, who famously covered "Mony Mony," underscore his lasting impact. From his early days in Michigan to his rise as a music icon, Tommy James' story is one of resilience, creativity, and enduring appeal. I know you're going to love hearing Tommy tell his story.

"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.

In the morning you have to be aware that that's not you stretching, that's not you sleepy, groggy, not wanting to get out of bed. It's just an image, just an appearance. And then you watch them get up, and you watch them walk to the bathroom, and all the while you're knowing, "that's not me." "Nothing is happening." "Only Love is here." While that one brushes its teeth and looks in the mirror, that's not you. Remember like it says in the Gospel of Thomas, you have to make your image just an image. Your foot becomes just a foot. That's just a hand. That's just a body, not your body. That's how you get free. This the Truth that sets you free. You have to live It. You have to realize that He's living you. In the secret book of John, He says, "I am the Providence of everything. I became like my own human children. I existed from the first. I walked down every possible road.

While we may think of the German band the Scorpions as an 80's metal band, they started much earlier - way back in 1965.  Things didn't really come together for the group until the 1978-1992 personnel lineup of Klaus Meine on lead vocals, Rudolph Schenker on rhythm guitar, Mattias Jabs on lead guitar, Francis Buchholz on bass, and Herman Rarebell on percussion.  By the time that the live album entitled World Wide Live came out in 1985, the group had established itself as an international commercial success.Recorded during their 1984 world tour, "World Wide Live" showcases the band at their best, and is a testament to their skill as live performers.  The album was produced by Dieter Dierks, and was initially released as a 2-LP vinyl set, a cassette, and a VHS of tour footage showing off the band's stage presence.  Folks, you got your money's worth when you originally purchased this album!From the high intensity of rockers like "Big City Nights" and "Rock You Like a Hurricane," to the raw emotion of ballads like "Still Loving You," the Scorpions deliver a performance that connects with their audience.  Hearing the live versions gives you a sense of the band in a way that is hard to capture from the studio arrangements.Lynch leads this journey back to 1985, when the Scorpions were rocking the world like a...well...they were rocking the world. Big City NightsThis song from "Love at First Sting" leads off side two of the first LP.  Schenker and Meine composed this one, as they did with many Scorpions songs.  This homage to night life in the city was released as the third single from their studio album, but failed to chart.No One Like YouOriginally appearing on their 1982 album, "Blackout,"  this track deals with infatuation and desire.  Despite its only reaching number 65 on the Billboard Hot 100, it is one of the songs that established the Scorpions as premiere hard rockers of the 80's.Still Loving YouLong before the hair metal ballad became a trope, the Scorpions demonstrated their ability to handle a slower song while still maintaining intensity and raw emotion.  The lyrics are of a guy struggling to convince the girl he has lost to give their love a second chance.Rock You Like a HurricaneThe Scorpions' signature song first appeared on "Love at First Sting" the year before this live album was released.  It reached number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, a rare Scorpions song to break the top 40.  The track leads off side three of the album.  The risqué video would be a prime exhibit of the PMRC in their quest for more parental control over child access to music videos. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Crazy by Patsy ClineA film called "Sweet Dreams" chronicles the life of country music star Patsy Cline, and was in American theaters in this month. STAFF PICKS:Whole of the Moon by The WaterboysWayne gets the staff picks started this week with the best-selling song from an overlooked British-Irish rock-folk band.  Cerebral and artsy, with lyrics like "I saw the crescent, you saw the whole of the moon," the song is about individuals with rare depth.  The Waterboys reformed in 2000, and can still be seen touring, primarily in Europe.Lay Your Hands On Me by The Thompson TwinsRob brings us a song from the British group that has neither members named Thompson nor twins.  It went to number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Thompson Twins member Tom Bailey has said that the song takes religious ritual as a metaphor for the connection between artist, performer, and artist.It's Only Love by Bryan Adams and Tina TurnerBruce's staff pick is the sixth and final single from Adam's amazingly popular album "Reckless," and also appears on Turner's "Tina Live in Europe" released in 1988.  Loaded with melancholy and anger from a breakup, the song encourages the jilted lover to remember - it's only love.  This song went to number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100.Money for Nothing by Dire StraitsLynch features a signature song from Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits, with a strong helping of Sting to boot.  This Grammy Award-winning track was a staple of MTV, and spent three weeks atop the US pop charts.  The lyrics are a conversation between two working-class men as they watch music videos. INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Tears In a Prophet's Dream by Celtic FrostThis Swiss heavy metal bands instrumental takes us out for this week's podcast.

David and Urpi share what is the Purpose of releasing the world in experience. Speaking from hearts joined and using examples of symbols of the world, the experience emerges. Using movies, songs, and a Netflix series of episodes called “3 body problem” they talk about the dismantling of faulty perception, false identity, and release of the past. The fear of the ego has already been replaced by the freedom of Divine Mind. Our Identity is in Christ and our Creator. Only Love is Real.

And in the end, which is the beginning, you'll see that there never was a path to contentment, or steps made on it, or breaths taken in it. or persons met along it. There's no one here to recognize Love; to practice It, or to turn toward It. Only Love is here. And that's the final Truth. I Love you, NIk nikki@curlynikki.com ******God is afoot!

A Lot can.  But please remember that 'A lot' = 'Love'.  Love can happen today, IS happening today,  taking the form of 'that' (which you hope will happen),  and everything else. Only Love is here.  But in the seeming meantime,  before you KNOW this, simply affirm: 'Love is here, too.' And let It happen.  I Love you I am you, nik  ************************ To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at nikki@curlynikki.com!  Join us on Patreon to support the show, and tune into and participate in live video Q&As with me!  Support the show "Allow yourself the freedom to travel between dimensions, to accept what comes to you gladly.

You release an emotion by letting it in. Letting go is a paradoxical concept. It does not ask of us to stop feeling, but to feel more deeply. Non-attachment is not indifference, it is the art of making our grief holy. It is in the alchemical ashes from within the furnace of terrifyingly beautiful surrender, that we rise as the phoenix. Not by becoming immune to pain, but by breathing into its embers, and calling forth its light." -Scott Feinberg via @contemplativereflections "Give up all and you gain all. Then life becomes what it was meant to be; pure radiation from an inexhaustible source. In that light, the world appears dimly like a dream.... My intention is to wake you up...

"Here God, I am doing this because I love You." -Chris Fields (quoting Brother Lawrence), How to Enjoy God All the Time "Jesus, please come into my heart. Help me with everything in my life. I am sorry for all my sins. I want to have a new life with you. Wash my heart with Your love and joy and live inside me. I give you all of me. Please give me all of You, And be my Best Friend forever. Amen." - Chris Fields, How to Enjoy God All the Time "If you have never felt God's love inside you, ask Him to help you. Be quiet for a minute. It may be as gentle as a butterfly kiss. It may be as quiet as a ladybug. But as you listen, you will recognize His whisper deep inside you. You may feel peace. This is the beginning of enjoying God. He doesn't always speak in words. Sometimes He speaks in a picture, a feeling, or a song, But He always speaks with love." - Chris Fields, How to Enjoy God All the Time "If you have never heard God speak to you, you can be quiet right now and listen to Him. He gave you special ears inside your heart that are made for hearing Him. He has so much to tell you. Most people only listen with their outside ears. Once you are good at listening with your inside ears, you'll hear how much God has to say. He will be the sunshine of your heart." - Chris Fields, How to Enjoy God All the Time  "This is the point in your life when things take off for you. You should feel confident in making bold moves. The expectation is that everything you put your hand to now will improve and flow your way Mainly because you're shifting your energy, which is allowing you to bring more elevated frequencies to the things you're focused on. Know that the tide has been turning for a reason. Move with that knowing. Shift with that balance. Your energy is providing you with leverage you've never had before." -@Source Messages "Call to Me, and I will give you an answer, and let you see great things and secret things of which you had no knowledge." Jeremiah 33:3 "Clear your mind of dogmatic theological debris; let in the fresh, healing waters of direct perception. Attune yourself to the active inner guidance. The Divine Voice has the answer to every dilemma of life." - Lahiri Mahasaya "You can only be non-possessive, non-jealous, when a different kind of love has arisen in you which is no more dependent, which needs nobody, which simply goes on overflowing. If somebody partakes, good, you are grateful. If nobody partakes, very good, you are alone, absolutely happy." - Osho  "Oh, Jesus, my love... my vocation, I finally found my vocation, it is LOVE." - St. Thérèse of Lisieux "How to Recognize God's Voice" by @kapchatfield (meditation inspiration)  "The voice of the Lord is full of power; the voice of the Lord has a noble sound."

In my phone, I have a photo album that keeps my chanting practice HOT--hundreds of screenshots of quotes to keep me 'ON' and motivated to continue waking up at 5 a.m., even on sleepy days.

Without knowing what the results will be on the other side of your yes. God sees. God knows. God provides. His ways are better. His thoughts are higher. He sees the greater picture.

Like a gardener without a garden, the eye remains empty without Love. What is the state of a human being without Love? He is like one who is denied all delicacies and whose mouth is filled only with dust. Without Love, one does not find the flow of the Sound Current.

It is exactly the same: those who experience Christ here on earth, experience Paradise... Our task is to attempt to find a way to enter into the light of Christ." -Saint Porphyrios "416. Are you crying due to the grief due to lack of food, clothes and money? Sing Naam, sing Naam! Whether you desire it or not, food will be heaped at your doors, you will be able to feed thousands of people. Without seeking it, lots of money will fall at your feet. You will not have to worry about clothes; in fact, you will be able to distribute clothes to other people. Even if you want to renounce it, the objects and wealth you are indifferent to, will follow you. I am in no way exaggerating. Should you require proof, come to me I can give you a testimony of this. 417. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare: Keep chanting this mahamantra continu-ously. You will not have to worry about anything; God will take care of your entire burden. He will look after your needs; you will be free of all tensions. Just keep chanting Naam. Don't let a single breath be wasted. He who enthrones Naam on the asana (seat) once, he doesn't have to think of anything, the second seat is naturally taken by God. Wealth rolls at the feet of he who sings Naam. The singer of Naam sacrifices both sin and merit. By hearing Naam constantly, the Mother [kundalini] is awakened. Then she starts singing and dancing, emanating light both inside and outside the singer [She comes in the form of Nada]. The singer of Naam then keeps hear ing this spontaneous singing by the Mother. In the brilliant light of the Mother's body, the singer sees the devayana - the road to vaikuntha. At the time of departing from this life, he discards his outer frame and goes out by the Brahma-randhara and this liberated soul goes along the devayana, where he is worshipped by the gods and finally arrives at vaikuntha, at the feet of Sri Bhaga wan, who lifts him up and endears him." -Sri Sri Thakur Sitaramdas Omkarnathji  

...and heal the man by seeing the God that's actually (t)here. Only Love is here, appearing as Lenard sharing about his spiritual practice, his God encounters as a child and into adulthood, his healing journey, and his experience hearing the Divine Sound Stream in meditation. Describing the Sound of Silence he says, "The Tone sounds like it's going like this... *draws a straight, horizontal line in front of him with his pointer finger* Just a line, like this...straight, that's what the Tone sounds like. Like It's just going in a line, but It's a smooth line... It's like when you're lying on a beach and you look out at the ocean, and you know how you can see the body of water and it looks flat, but it's like a (horizon) line. Like you could literally, if I'm sitting on the beach, I could take my finger and I could just do this line out to the ocean. That's how the Sound, that's what It feels like to me."  He starts the day early at 4 a.m. with prayer, gratitude, and a 5-minute mantra-based meditation. His 'Mental Wealth Expo' is this weekend (Oct 7) in Times Square in NYC!  Entry is FREE and open to all ages!   Today's Quotes: CthaGod's interview with Deepak Chopra "Heal the boy, the man appears." - @Mystic.mind.movement via IG "We have come from the Light and will return there again." - Gospel of Thomas “I tell you truly, your body was made not only to breathe, and eat, and think, but it was also made to enter the Holy Stream of Life. And your ears were made not only to hear the words of men, the song of birds, and the music of falling rain, but they were also made to hear the Holy Stream of Sound. And your eyes were made not only to see the rising and setting of the sun, the ripple of sheaves of grain, and the words of the Holy Scrolls, but they were also made to see the Holy Stream of Light. One day your body will return to the Earthly Mother; even also your ears and your eyes. But the Holy Stream of Life, the Holy Stream of Sound, and the Holy Stream of Light, these were never born, and can never die. Enter the Holy Streams, even that Life, that Sound, and that Light which gave you birth; that you may reach the kingdom of the Heavenly Father and become one with him, even as the river empties into the far distant sea.” -Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, Essene Gospel of Peace, Volume IV 

to return Home to the Name to the Silence to our Love  We received mandatory evacuation orders yesterday and had to be off the island by 7pm eastern. I picked the kids up from school, and we quickly threw stuff in stuff and loaded it up, before driving smooth across the state through green pastures and towards calmer waters (and my sister, Syl). I write this from a bed in a cute airbnb in Lake Worth, Florida, the same one I booked last year for the same reason. It's becoming something like a tradition. Gia gets to spend her 13th birthday NOT in school (school is closed for the next couple of days), and Max is playing by the pool. Mom is sipping coffee. And I'm recording, writing, editing, Loving... You. All signs point Home. They point Here. No matter where Here appears to be, you can relax... more.   Nik   p.s. How do you 'treat' a hurricane spiritually? Many would say, 'it isn't there', or, 'it's an illusion'. But you have to take it a step further. The ocean isn't either, or earth, or you, or me. Only Love is here. And all of this is done in Silence, as Silence.  To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at nikki@curlynikki.com!  Join us on Patreon to support the show, and tune into and participate in live video Q&As with me!  Support the show ************************* "Bawa Muhatyaddeen: Yes. I am very old in years. My teacher would not be dwelling within the world. At any moment, in any eventuality that it is needed, the appropriate reply will be given, whenever I ask. It would be very, very difficult for everyone to obtain such a teacher as this. One must have the benevolence of God to receive this. As for my speaking, I cannot speak. The one who wishes to speak must be the one who speaks. If it is wished to speak of God, then it is God who must speak. If it is wished to speak of the prophets, it is the prophets themselves who must speak. If it is Gabriel (A.S.) who must be spoken of, then it is Gabriel (A.S.), himself, who must speak. And if they do speak, we must have the wisdom to understand what they say. If Jesus (A.S.) is to be spoken of, it is Jesus (A.S.) who must speak; if it is Moses (A.S.) who is spoken of, it is Moses (A.S.) who must come and speak. Then if there is any fault in what is said, if there is any mistake, then the fault relates to them. Also if there is any gain in it, it is theirs. ...It all relates to them. It is their responsibility. If the Prophet Muhammad (Sal.) is to be spoken of, it is he, himself, who must speak. Whether it be Adam, Noah, David, or Abraham, peace be upon them all, they themselves must come and speak. Each one, whoever it be, must come and speak of himself. The words come like sound passing through a microphone. I have nothing to do with it; I am nothing. This is the way each of them speaks and tells his story. I do not want the praise or the blame. We must complete the duty that we have come to perform. This is the way. If you do it like this, it is correct. "God will not give you a message.  For God to give u a message,.,God has to be far away from you.  God is closer than your breath.  How can he give you a message? -Gurudev H.H.SriSri Ravi Shankar "The source of all comfort, is silence. The source of all discomfort, is a single thought." -Pat Nolan "The eternal father spoke only one word and he spoke it in an eternal silence. And that isn't silent; we hear it." - Father Keating "It is the Divine Presence that gives value to life. This Presence is the source of all peace, all joy, all security. Find this Presence in yourself and all your difficulties will disappear." - Mirra Alfassa "You may have everything that the world can offer, but if you don't have peace, serenity, silence, ecstasy, you will still remain poor." -Osho "Apart from Love, everything passes away.

This whole world is the manifestation of the Self. This whole world is the sport of God. When one understands that God pervades everywhere then no matter where his mind goes, no matter how fickle it is, no matter whether he attains the state of samadhi or not, still he has God, he has liberation. Jagatguru Shankaracharya, the Guru of the world, wrote many, many books. And after he had written all those books he said, "Now I will tell you the essence of millions of book in half a word: Consciousness alone is the truth. There is no such thing as world or maya. They don't exist. There are no individual beings. There is only the play of Supreme Brahman, and it is that supreme consciousness which plays as the world." - Baba's farewell 1976 talk from South Fallsburg Photo: Baba in Kashmir, 1982 "Has it ever occured to you that you are seeking God with his eyes." - Adyashanti "You must become nobody.

SEASON 3 begins Aug 7!!! First, I remember that it doesn't matter what the body is feeling or what the mind is thinking-- I Am Love and Love is unfolding where I Am.  Then, I wait to feel this Love.  And because I'm now feeling Love, I'm no longer matching the energy of the moment.  I'm not generating a false or fake joy, but turning back toward the inner Light, the subtle Joy, the Love that IS.  And I keep feeling the Light, holding this Love, through the situation, through the anxiety, through the worry... until it's seen that only the Light is real.  The eyes see the appearance but I'm no longer judging by the appearance.  I'm no longer fooled by it.  I'm seeing it... but I'm feeling Love at the same time.  And I know that Only Love is Here. As you move through your dark nights, it's important to remember that you aren't seeking God. You aren't seeking the Light.  You don't want Freedom or happiness or Love.   YOU ARE THAT.  You want them because of the false perception that you think you are separate from That, from God.  Freedom is the essence of who you are.  Relax, recognize, and stay feeling this Truth, inside.  And this Truth becomes your outer circumstances. "He is a real man who does not let go his hold on the Self-state while he is attending to whatever problems come of their own accord and without desire." - Ramana Maharshi, Padamalai pg. 250 "Self-knowledge, or knowledge of Truth is not had by resorting to teachers, scriptures, or good deeds.  It is attained only by means of enquiry inspired by those who have awareness of the inner Light.  One's inner Light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner Light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.  Whatever sorrows there may be that seem to be difficult to overcome are easily crossed over with the help of the boat of wisdom (the inner Light).  He who is devoid of this wisdom is bothered even by minor difficulties.  The effort and the energy that are directed by the people in worldly activities should first be directed in the gaining of this wisdom.  Wisdom or the inner Light is like the legendary precious stone which bestows on its owner whatever he wishes to have." - The Yoga Vasistha Rhonda Ross' poem mentioned in this episode.  Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.
