Absolute1776 and Jaytriot put together the ultimate anti-Valentine's Day playlist for anyone who's ever had their heart stomped on, set on fire, and tossed in a dumpster. Instead of love songs, they go full breakup mode, pulling out the most bitter, angsty, and rage-fueled tracks to help get you through the day. From Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" to Pantera's "This Love," the guys cover everything from classic heartbreak anthems to full-blown metal fury. Along the way, they break down the wild backstories behind some of these hits, including Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's messy Fleetwood Mac drama and the real reason Megadeth's "In My Darkest Hour" is one of the most devastating breakup songs ever written. It's a mix of pain, nostalgia, and absolute bangers, with plenty of laughs (and maybe some therapy) along the way. Whether you're happily single or just trying to make it through another corporate Hallmark holiday, this one's for you.

ROSARY RETURNS TOMORROW 4:44am ET! Set your alarms and pray with us! "If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." - John 15:4-9This is when the miracles start--when you remember there's only Him.

I sow treasure troves of graces when you are in the deepest poverty. No person of reason, no thinker, has ever perform miracles, not even among the saints. He does divine works whosoever surrenders to God. So don't think about it anymore, because your mind is acute and for you it is very hard to see evil and to trust in me and to not think of yourself. Do this for all your needs, do this all of you and you will see great continual silent miracles. I will take care of things, I promise this to you. 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 *************************************"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"Don't Think Less of Yourself, But Think of Yourself Less"- Sacinandana Swami "It is not a question of whether there is a God, apart from you, but more whether there is a 'you' apart from God."- Arthur Osborne"The ego prayed to God and listened for a response.There was no response but silence. The ego thought,"God doesn't exist."In desperation, the ego prayed again and listened to the silence. And it was revealed - the ego doesn't exist." -Pat Nolan"It has long been taken for granted that the individual exists and that God does not exist. Eventually, you realize that the individual is not real and that there is nothing but God." - Ramana Maharshi"Your identification of being somebody doesn't let you truly relax and it limits your domain." - Sri Sri Ravi ShankarI trust you and I know you have placed me here but I am still finding it hard.It's hard adjusting, it's hard to know what to do next, and it's hard to feel outside of my comfort zone every single day. I ask, Lord, that you would provide what I need. I pray you would be my comfort when I feel alone and it's painful. I pray that you would help me look for and find the blessings and joy you are providing instead of being consumed with all that is so difficult about this. Lord, please guide me to the people, places, and positions that you have prepared for me and help me to trust in your goodness as I wait.In Jesus' name,Amen" -@proverbs31ministries"Hold on.

"(From Jesus) Surrender to me does not mean to fret, to be upset, or to lose hope, nor does it mean offering to Me a worried prayer, asking Me to follow you and change your worry into prayer. It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother's way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in My care, so that only I act; saying, "You take care of it".(Repeat the following prayer 10 times.)O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.Amen" - Father Ruotolo Dolindo "A beautiful prayer to Krishna is, 'please let me feel your warm affection as I chant.'" - Mahatma Das "Without a name, without a body, tell me about yourself. Tell me something about yourself without mentioning your memories or mind. Can you tell me something? Nothing can be said... That's You." - Nisargadatta Maharaj“‘Lest ye become as little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.' Unless you start again, become that trusting, open surrendered being, the energy can't come in. That's the kingdom of heaven; the energy, cosmic consciousness, the same thing.” – Ram Dass"He was crucified so that his spirit could spread throughout 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

Isaiah 49:13-16 (MESSAGE)  Heavens, raise the roof! Earth, wake the dead!      Mountains, send up cheers!   God has comforted his people.      He has tenderly nursed his beaten-up, beaten-down people.  But Zion said, “I don't get it. God has left me.      My Master has forgotten I even exist.”  “Can a mother forget the infant at her breast,      walk away from the baby she bore?   But even if mothers forget,      I'd never forget you—never.   Look, I've written your names on the backs of my hands.      The walls you're rebuilding are never out of my sight.   Your builders are faster than your wreckers.      The demolition crews are gone for good.   This passage compares the love God has for us with the Love of a mother and her infant. There's little, if anything on earth, that compares to a mother and her intimate love for the baby she nurses. But this passage goes deeper and explains that the imperfect mother will fail at perfect love in some way or another. But not God, not ever. Maybe, this Christmas season, you might feel forgotten or overlooked. Or perhaps you know someone who you suspect might feel that way.   Can you picture right now your name written on the back of the hand of the God of the universe? He says that His Love for you will never fail and promises that the walls you are rebuilding are never out of his sight. Your builders are faster than your wreckers; the demolition crews are gone for good.    Because of our Father's love for us — sending his Son whose birth we celebrate— it says those things that work against us are slower than the one that builds in us. The demolition crews, the false love that this world represents, are gone for good because of the perfect Love born in   Bethlehem, from heaven above is here. This Love that says— I'd never forget you—never.   Lets pray: God of Love, Your son, Jesus, is your greatest gift to us. Love incarnate. Help us walk in that Love during the weeks of Advent, as we wait and prepare for his coming again. Thank   You for Your unfailing, sacrificial and redeeming Love for me. Immanuel, God with us.

She rose to fame as a member of Girls Aloud, a pop girl group created through ITV's reality competition show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002.

Collectively, the albums spawned ten singles, five of which – "Fight for This Love", "Promise This", "Call My Name", "Crazy Stupid Love" and "I Don't Care" – reached the top position on the UK Singles Chart. Cheryl was the first British female solo artist to have five number-one singles in the UK, and she held the record until Jess Glynne overtook her in 2018.Cheryl became a judge on the UK show of the television talent show The X Factor in 2008. She mentored two of the eventual winners of the competition (Alexandra Burke in series five and Joe McElderry in series six), before resigning in 2011 after series seven and joining the panel of the US version of the series, which she left during the auditions stage. She returned to judge series eleven and twelve of the UK series in 2014 and 2015. Cheryl next served as a judge on the television dance competition The Greatest Dancer from 2019 to 2020, and made her stage debut in the West End play 2:22 A Ghost Story in 2023.Cheryl has become a recognised and photographed style icon, being referred to as a "fashionista" by the press.

It is against this surrender, deeply against it, to worry, to be nervous and to desire to think about the consequences of anything. It is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother's way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in My care,  so that only I act; saying, "You take care of it". (Repeat the following prayer 10 times.) O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything!  Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus. Amen" - Father Ruotolo Dolindo  "A beautiful prayer to Krishna is, 'please let me feel your warm affection as I chant.'" - Mahatma Das  "Without a name, without a body, tell me about yourself. Tell me something about yourself without mentioning your memories or mind. Can you tell me something? Nothing can be said... That's You." - Nisargadatta Maharaj “‘Lest ye become as little children, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.' Unless you start again, become that trusting, open surrendered being, the energy can't come in. That's the kingdom of heaven; the energy, cosmic consciousness, the same thing.” – Ram Dass "He was crucified so that his spirit could spread throughout 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   

If you're not living Love, which is the only commandment Jesus left us with, if you're not living it, you're not living.  You're dead. This Love is life, eternal.  This Love is food, It's water. It's your wealth. It's the substance and tone,  the Vibration of your future.  That's why we don't have to pray with words. We pray with (t)His Vibration. We communicate like this... You can't see me,  but you can feel me. I'm communicating with you between the words. My love is touching you, through these words. His love is touching you,  He doesn't need words. God doesn't need your instruction, your consultation, your approval. He doesn't need anything.  But you are to give Him your will.  And notice the resistance that comes up. Give Him everything,  until you have nothing left. And then you are given everything.  I Love you,  nik  Support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings __________________________________________ "To become great one must be humble.

The Summer of 2004 at 20 Music Video Companion series will post every Friday, featuring a discussion of a music video from a song featured in the Casey Kasem weekly top 440. Maroon 5 was just bursting onto the scene in 2004. “Harder to Breathe” was their breakout single, but “This Love” kept the train […]

Singer-songwriter Quinn Christopherson (Ahtna Athabascan and Iñupiaq) is on a cross-country tour along with GRAMMY award-winning Alaska (by way of Portland, Ore.) band Portugal. The Man and winning over audiences with his insightful music delivered with passion and a charismatic optimism. Christopherson burst into people's consciousness after winning the 2019 Tiny Desk Contest. He is part of Alisa Amador's new single "I Need to Believe" and he collaborated with Pattie Gonia and Yo Yo Ma in what might be the most hopeful song about climate change anyone's ever heard. Sound artist Edzi'u (Taku River Tlingit and Tahltan) builds complex layers of music from instruments, their own voice, and environmental sounds in a welcoming, emotional atmospheric storytelling. They're releasing a new album Tunnel Vision with the new single “This Love”. Both artists join Native America Calling this Monday in the latest edition of our regular feature Native Playlist.

It is natural to ask questions like: Does God exist? Is He presently active in the world and in my life? Is there a purpose for my life? All the answers are in Jesus! This Love in action, that Paul writes about in Colossians 1:15-20, becomes the center around which all of our lives begin to make sense.

In this recording, Bentinho encourages listeners to reconsider their understanding of love and to reflect on its true origin. Love is not just a feeling or an action. Rather, it is the underlying eternal energy that exists everywhere, in everything. Love is the essential energy and presence of Awareness/Beingness. It is the energy born of the realization of Oneness, and it is also the foundation of every perception and manifestation.Bentinho explains that the first emanation to emerge from Awareness was Love. But this Love is not the “love” we experience in ordinary human relationships. This Love is Godlike, transcendent, and inclusive of all. It is powerful and not bound to human concepts and associations. The journey to understanding Original Love is infinite; letting go of human filters and assumptions can bring us closer to it._________Follow Bentinho on Social Media:InstagramFacebookYouTubeTwitterTikTok_________Subscribe to the Bentinho Massaro newsletter: bit.ly/3rhVNhs

When Maroon 5 came up with their smash hit “Moves Like Jagger,” they knew Jagger was a name that would resonate with listeners. And in 2011, Maroon 5 definitely knew what their fans wanted to hear. But it wasn't always that way. Have you ever heard of the ‘90s alt-rock band Kara's Flowers? If you haven't you're not alone. They were one of the more forgettable bands of their time. Kara's Flowers did catch the attention of Rob Cavallo, who you may remember as the guy who produced Green Day's American Idiot. He saw a lot of potential in Kara's Flowers and produced their second album, the power-pop-tinged The Fourth World. Upon its release in August 1997, the album only sold 5,000 copies. In 2001 Kara's Flowers resumed band activity, changing up their sound by trying a number of different styles, including country and folk, before settling on becoming what they deemed "a soul band, but with five white dudes.” They cut a demo for MCA Records, but the label rejected it. However, they did find an interested label in Octone Records, whose co-founder Ben Berkman had worked at Warner Music and knew of the band from their time with Reprise.  In a 2004 interview with Hit Quarters, Berkman said he loved what he heard in a song called “Sunday Morning” but couldn't believe it was the same band because they had such a completely different sound. It was clear to Berkman that the band was ready to take off. All they needed now was another guitarist and a brand new name. Eventually the band decided on the name Maroon 5. Why “5” and not, say, Maroon Moon? Well, the answer remains to be a secret between band members… and Billy Joel. Wait, Billy Joel? Now with a record deal and a brand new name, Maroon 5 were a whole new band. Their first single, “Harder To Breathe” was a slow-mover on the charts, but eventually earned the band some airplay. Once it caught on the band decided to re-release the album one year later, and at the beginning of 2004 they issued a second single, “This Love,” a song influenced by Stevie Wonder and written about Jane moving out after the breakup. As you may already know, “This Love” became a smash hit, followed by “She Will Be Loved” and “Sunday Morning.” You know them all. And just like that Maroon 5 were now a household name. Their second album "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" was an instant hit - thanks to lead single “Makes Me Wonder,” which became the band's first song to hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It actually broke a record by jumping from #64 to #1 based purely on its first week of iTunes sales.  Maroon 5 wanted a different experience when it came to making album number three. Luckily they received a phone call from Mutt Lange, the famous South African producer, who asked if he could make their next record with them.  Mutt has quite the résumé. He got his start in the late ‘70s, by producing both AC/DC's Highway To Hell and Back In Black. From there he would produce classic records by Def Leppard, The Cars, Michael Bolton, and Canada's own Bryan Adams. Maroon 5 released their third album, Hands All Over, on September 2010. It would debut at #2 on Billboard's album chart and receive mixed reviews, but got some love from Rolling Stone, which called it “the band's brightest-sounding and poppiest yet.”  The upbeat, funky pop on singles like “Misery” and “Give A Little More” demonstrated a punchier sound. Although the album sold well enough and kept them on the road, something was missing.Up until this point, Maroon 5 had only ever written songs themselves. They had never worked with anyone outside of their circle. But they felt it was time to open the door to other songwriters and see what could happen.Luckily for Maroon 5, two up-and-coming producers were working on a song that would become not just the year's biggest hit, but the band's biggest hit ever.  This is the true story of Maroon 5's 'Moves' Like Jagger' ft. Christina Aguilera - with newly unearthed audio.

This week twenty years ago delivered a mix of jaw-dropping headlines and eyebrow-raising moments that'll make you say, "Wait, did that really happen?"First up, the heart-wrenching tale of Pat Tillman, the NFL star turned soldier whose story reads like a Hollywood script. From sacking quarterbacks to dodging bullets, Tillman's journey took a tragic turn when he was killed by friendly fire inAfghanistan. But hey, at least the military gave him a hero's send-off, right? Wrong. Turns out, the truth got lost in a military cover up, leaving us scratching our heads and wondering, "What really went down?"Meanwhile, down under, Aussie PM John Howard pulled off a surprise visit to Baghdad. Talk about a plot twist! With more security than a pop star at Coachella, Howard made a quick pit stop to hang with the troops. Because nothing says "support our troops" like a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek in a war zone.In sports, the NFL Draft turned into a real-life soap opera when Eli Manning got drafted by the Chargers but pulled a fast one to end up with the Giants. Forget touchdown passes—this was some next-level maneuvering worthy of a primetime drama. And speaking of drama, Maroon 5's "This Love" was all over the charts, giving us major relationship vibes and inspiring awkward conversations about exes.But let's not forget the literary world, where Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins' "Glorious Appearing" took us on a wild ride through the end times. Move over, summer blockbusters—this book had everything from biblical prophecy to characters you'd swear were plucked straight from a Sunday sermon.Hang with us on socials to chat more noughties nostalgia - Facebook (@tminus20) or Instagram (tminus20podcast).

You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me. Let's get ready for "The Tortured Poets Department" and explore the concept of poetic repetition in Taylor Swift's songs. From understanding epizeuxis and anaphora to seeing how Taylor uses these devices in “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”' “Shake It Off” and “This Love,” we discuss how repetition can seem deceptively simple while still communicating a clear message. Understanding the purpose of any text can help enrich your experience of that art, and this week's episode helps us understand the power of some of Taylor's less complicated lyrics. Tune into this week's conversation to see why simplicity can be powerful, and perhaps we may even convince you to appreciate a song you don't necessarily want to listen to on repeat.    Helpful definitions: Epizeuxis (a.k.a. palilogia) - the immediate repetition of a word or phrase for rhetorical or poetic effect. For example, "the children squealed with glee, with glee” or “Shake it off, shake it off” Anaphora - repetition of a word or expression at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses, sentences, or verses especially for rhetorical or poetic effect. For example, Lincoln's "we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow—this ground.” OR “Please don't be in love with someone else, please don't have somebody waiting on you.”  Epistrophe - repetition of a word or expression at the end of successive phrases, clauses, sentences, or verses especially for rhetorical or poetic effect. For example, Lincoln's "of the people, by the people, for the people.” or “And it was enchanting to meet you / All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you”    Mentioned in this episode:  Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens King Lear by William Shakespeare Walden by Thoreau  Macbeth by William Shakespeare Mean Girls  Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire by J.K.

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

I Am taking your pain right now. Your hurts, I Am carving them out,  cutting them away, pruning you.  Feel what's growing inside of you right now... Like a New Garden in the winter,  a smile even though you're misperceiving Me as darkness, as drought.  Open your eyes and look at The Field, "because it is already ripe with the harvest."* You see The Field as that familiar place.  The place you closed those eyes on. And while it appears that nothing has changed,  you have to feel what The Field has produced (t)here,  what you can't see with those human eyes, what I Am seeing for you.  I Am feeling It with you.  You must feel Love as you look out at what looks unchanged. Nothing is the same. Nothing is the same. Nothing is the same. Say that until you hear it differently. Until you hear it rightly, This No-Thing is the same  This Love is the same.  God is always the same and knowing this,  celebrating this, worshiping this, nothing is the same.  nothing was the same. #AllMe  I love you I Am you nik Support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings __________________________________________ *John 4:35 "THE MAN WHO TURNED WATER INTO WINE CAN ALSO TURN YOUR SUFFERING INTO JOY." -@REFRESHED QUOTES "My heart wants to surrender My ego wants to plan My heart wants to be My ego wants to grow My heart wants to listen My ego wants to write" -@wordsonthepath "Now silence lets the one behind your eyes talk."  Rumi, Red Book (Coleman Barks)  "ONLY ONE SUNRISE A DAY You will not find another friend like me.

Isaiah 49:13-16 (MESSAGE)  Heavens, raise the roof! Earth, wake the dead!      Mountains, send up cheers!   God has comforted his people.      He has tenderly nursed his beaten-up, beaten-down people.  But Zion said, “I don't get it. God has left me.      My Master has forgotten I even exist.”  “Can a mother forget the infant at her breast,      walk away from the baby she bore?   But even if mothers forget,      I'd never forget you—never.   Look, I've written your names on the backs of my hands.      The walls you're rebuilding are never out of my sight.   Your builders are faster than your wreckers.      The demolition crews are gone for good.  This passage compares the love God has for us with the Love of a mother and her infant. There's little, if anything on earth, that compares to a mother and her intimate love for the baby she nurses. But this passage goes deeper and explains that the imperfect mother will fail at perfect love in some way or another. But not God, not ever. Maybe, this Christmas season, you might feel forgotten or overlooked. Or perhaps you know someone who you suspect might feel that way.   Can you picture right now your name written on the back of the hand of the God of the universe? He says that His Love for you will never fail and promises that the walls you are rebuilding are never out of his sight. Your builders are faster than your wreckers; the demolition crews are gone for good.   Because of our Father's love for us — sending his Son whose birth we celebrate— it says those things that work against us are slower than the one that builds in us. The demolition crews, the false love that this world represents, are gone for good because of the perfect Love born in   Bethlehem, from heaven above is here. This Love that says— I'd never forget you—never.  Lets pray: God of Love, Your son, Jesus, is your greatest gift to us. Love incarnate. Help us walk in that Love during the weeks of Advent, as we wait and prepare for his coming again. Thank You for Your unfailing, sacrificial and redeeming Love for me. Immanuel, God with us.

Mr Gullible!How comes you've been calling all nightAnd never once heard Allah say, 'Here, I am'?You call out so earnestly and, in reply, what?I'II tell you what. Nothing!'The man suddenly felt empty and abandoned.Depressed, he threw himself on the ground And fell into a deep sleep.In a dream, he met Abraham, who asked,'Why are you regretting praising Allah?'The man said, 'I called and called But Allah never replied, 'Here I am.' Abraham explained, 'Allah has said,'Your calling my name is My reply.Your longing for Me is My message to you.All your attempts to reach MeAre in reality My attempts to reach you.Your fear and love are a noose to catch Me.In the silence surrounding every call of 'Allah' Waits a thousand replies of 'Here I am.'"-Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi (r.a.)"To run, you must first walk.To walk, you must first stand.To stand, you must first crawl.To crawl, you must first be held.Start where you are."- @corymuscara"When you feel your peace slipping away and anxiety rushing in, stand firm and remember that Jesus has given you His peace."-Joyce Meyer "Your tears are prayers, too. "-@speakholyspirit"God will give you a Peace that makes no sense."- @michelles_losing_it"The principal thing is to stand before God with the mind in the heart, and to go on standing before Him unceasingly day and night, until the end of life" -(Bishop Theophan, quoted by Kallistos Ware in The Power of the Name: The Jesus Prayer in Orthodox Spirituality)"When you are tempted, recognize that a crown is being prepared for you."-St. John Chrysostom Support the show

This Love is momentum,and today is the beginning. Your 'I' is open now.Your Heart is open. There was never a delay, never a withholding. You just had to make 'then', Now, and 'there', Here. Collapsing it all. Dissolving it all. Releasing it all, just as God Is.Straight up miracles.  Affirm: "It already is. I already have. I already am. "I Love you,Niknikki@curlynikki.com Support the show!▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmorningsToday's Quotes:"What was said to the rose that made it open. was said to me, here in my chest."-Rumi "The main reason you can't see your Superpower is because it comes so easy to you.You assume everyone else has it too. But, they don't.-@my.humandesign via IG"The more I seek Him the more I notice flowers landing next to my feet birds singing outside my window all love letters from the God who knows no coincidence."-@Wildflowerpages via IG "There is always a reason for everything. And there are no mistakes. If you think you made à mistake, what you're saying indirectly is, "God doesn't know what he is doing." Because if God is all there is, how can there be a mistake? We just perceive it wrongly. But everything we've been through has been very necessary for our own unfoldment. Be thankful.That's another quality you should develop. Be grateful and be thankful for every experience that you go through. This will push you forward.Regret nothing." -Robert AdamsSupport the show

*I'm in the Holy Land this week, returning with new episodes on May 10th! I love you and I'm with you!*    Make an effort to hear the Silence now, and later you'll enjoy a pension.*Later this Silence will just be (t)here without you having to work for It.This Love will just flow to you,to the new you,to the retired you.The one that Love is retiring  from that unhealthy job,from that toxic relationship,or from that version of you that didn't feel confident,that version of you that didn't feel Go(o)d.You're retiring form being that one, and you're stepping into this new life where all you know is God,and the things of God,and the people of God,and the service of God.Your whole life is changing.Right now, as you read these words,relaxing your shoulders,feeling Go(o)d,you're changing your whole life. Keep holding God with both hands today,and know God is holding you, too,retiring, returning you to Hisself. I Love you,Niknikki@curlynikki.comToday's Quotes:  “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” –Socrates"You must always fix the mind on the Lord. 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

In the Adi Lila, Krishna said, "cleanse and decorate your body because you consider it Mine."Not yours. I consider that 'Love is here, and only Love is here',and where Nikki seems to be here, that's the illusion.And it's only an illusion because one day, Nikki won't be here.But 'I'  still will be,because 'I' can't go anywhere.'I' didn't come here, so 'I' can't leave here.'I Am' what is known as 'Here'.Hereness is Me.That's what you have to consider.That's what you have to practice.Everything has to remind you of That.Everything has to be your mirror.Everything has to be God.There's no room for anything else.No room for imperfections.Today you're going to look out and see imperfections.Your thoughts are going to inform you of many. And your work is to stay woke enough to hear every report of an imperfection,to see every seeming imperfection,and to hear Go(o)d where it appears to be.To feel Go(o)d where it appears to be.It's that simple.You see the imperfection and you know God.You feel THIS (Love) that you're feeling right now, while you're looking at it,and then what you're looking at changes.Even if you can't detect it in that moment,it has changed.Your gaze is healing this world.Because your gaze is silent.Because your gaze is steady.Because your gaze is God's.

For one moment quit being sad. Hear blessings dropping their blossoms all around you."-Rumi"It's you who must come to the place where the human brain is not in the way. And behold, when you come to that secret place, the light and the power which always are present, even now, sweep aside the veil of your human sense, and then they reveal to you the perfection of Heaven where the imperfection of human thought had seemed to be." -Herb Fitch La Jolla Series 8B.

Think and FEEL this mantra-- "Rooted in Love, everything I need comes to me."Recognize that no one (and that includes the one you think you are) has the power to distract you from your true Self, from Love.  This Love is the only Presence, It's the only Power, and as you stay rooted in and AS This, the one you thought you were, and everyone in your field of awareness begins to grow and flower.  Today, we stay consciously rooted, without distraction, and let the Go(o)d we've been seeking come to us.
