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
Love is saying- Everything brought you to this moment, for you to hear this message, for you to receive this certainty, before you go back out into the appearance, the field of uncertainty. For you to feel this confidence, to be this Confidence, even while you appear to be unsure, even while in the storyline, you're doubting, you're stumbling, you're falling. In your Heart, simultelsouly, there's a knowing that you're carried. That all you have to do is relax and allow, let go and receive. Stand up and know you're not alone,* know that you have Me by your side, in front of you, in back of you, within your Heart- that's My Home. I'm always within and I Am all you need. The 'I Am', this felt-Love, the way you know you're alive, is all you need.

The day that you've been waiting for. The moment that changes your life forever." -@saralandon via IG "In India, there is a proverb, 'If God is happy with you, He gives you a lot, and if He is very happy with you, then He gives you a slap also'. This is because every time God gives you a slap, He turns you away from the material world towards Himself; He wants to draw you to Himself. Drop everything and look at Him. That is why He gives you the slap because He is too compassionate and too happy." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Love is the religion and the universe is the book." -Rumi "What the universe manifests for us is much more exciting than what we are trying to manifest." -Adyashanti "God's Spirit of life approaches us so silently that we do not become aware of the presence immediately." -St Sophrony "How does one make muddy water clear? Be still. and the water will clear in time. How does one become still? Let everything happen, and stillness appears. -Tao Te Ching, i5 (trans. Marshall Davis "Stand up! You are a warrior. You are not alone, you have Me by your side, I'm all you need." -@neemkaroli_babaofficial__

I'm back! A little earlier than expected on this GoOD Friday! In today's episode, I share about what I've been up to, what Krishna Das told me that day we hung out together, and I share a powerful practice that you can start and continue for the rest of the day. It's harvest season, now...early, and forever. I Love you and I'm with you! Nik p.s. Shout out Beyoncé and her new album Cowboy Carter for the inspired title, 'II Hands II Heaven'. Today's Quotes: "1. I am the true Vine and my Father is the Worker. 2.*Whichever branch that does not produce* fruit by me, He cuts* it off. And the one that produces fruit, He prunes* it, so that it brings* much fruit. 3. "You are already* cleansed, because of the Milta I presented* you. 4. "Graft* yourselves onto me, and I onto you, for the branch cannot bring* fruit by* itself, if it is not grafted* to the vine; likewise you also, if you do not adhere to me. 5. "I am the vine and you are the branches. Whoever adheres to me and I to them, they shall bring much fruit. Because without me, you cannot do anything. 6. "For if a person* does not adhere to me, they are cast out. Like a branch that withers, [which they cut off and throw into the fire to burn. 7. "And for those of you who adhere to me and my words take hold* in you, whatever you wish* to ask for, you shall have. 8. "By this the Father is glorified, that you bear* plentiful fruit. And that you become my disciples. 9. "Just as my Father has loved me, I too shall love you. Nourish* [yourselves] with my love* 10. "If you observe* my commandments, you will be nourished* by my love; Just as I guarded the commandments of my Father and have become strengthened by His love. 11. "I gave you these words so that my happiness is [expressed] through you and that happiness becomes* your happiness as well. 12.

Affirm: "I carry Light and Silence."* I keep my eye on the feeling of Love, and this eye doesn't blink, It doesn't lose sight of this Feeling beyond feelings, of this Faith beyond appearances. It's opened. And It opens. It's blessed. and It blesses. Loving is the Reaping. Faith is my blessing. I Love you, Nik ******God is afoot!

Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all." -Ramana Maharshi "The final reality is the Light and Love of God. Root yourself in that final reality always and at every moment, and evil will crumble around you." - Mother Meera "Believing we are 'human beings', rather than 'spiritual', is the disease itself." -Joel Goldsmith "Whether in daytime or in nighttime I always carry inside a light.

There is nowhere where God is not, where Joy is not, where Abundance is not. You just have to know where to look, how to look, how to shift. And as you shift, the world shifts.

It's only after you've broken through your shell that it hits you: you're responding differently, you're smiling deeply, money is flowing to you more easily, your relationships are improving or ending, the lens in which you view your experience is adapting to your upgrades. This will be one of the biggest chapters to your evolution. One shift at a time is altering your entire world. -Pedro de Santos via IG @sourcemessages "They can't see how beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that.” -Naya Rivera "Love is the cure, for your pain will keep giving birth to more pain until your eyes constantly exhale love as effortlessly as your body yields its scent." -Rumi (via Daniel Ladinsky's 'Love Poems from God') "One day He did not leave after kissing me." -Rabia (via Daniel Ladinsky's 'Love Poems from God') "Sing my tongue; sing my hand; sing my feet, my knee, my loins, my whole body. Indeed I am His choir." -St. Thomas Aquinas (via Daniel Ladinsky's 'Love Poems from God')
What's got you worried today? Speak it into the Silence. That's how you surrender it. That's how you give it to God-- you give it to the Silence. And then you just keep hearing the Silence, you keep listening to the Silence, the same way you were listening to the words of your worry, you listen to the Beauty of the Silence, you become the Beautiful Silence. And then, worry becomes Prayer, and the mountain moves. I Love you, Nik ******God is afoot! I’m writing, and working on something BIG (and very useful) for your practice!

Support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings ________________________________ Today's Quotes: "The basic condition for us to be able to hear the call of beauty and respond to it is silence." -Thich Nhat Hahn "The position that you're in should excite you. Think about it for a moment: the hardest parts are over. Why? Because you had to endure playing catch up. You had to negate what was holding you down and holding you back this entire time. What you're left with is nothing but space & opportunity with which to build up on this open canvas. The decision is yours, and quite frankly, you already decided. You didn't start on this path just to get this far. This is when the fun begins. This is when fulfillment consistently finds you. This is when those wings begin to expand." -@SourceMessages via IG "Wherever you are, love is your sole refuge. Fill your hearts with love, and let love be the guiding principle in all your activities when you return home. When you have love in your heart, you do not need to worry about anything. God will always be with you, in you, around you and will look after you in all respects." -Satya Sai Baba Divine Discourse - April 13, 2005 "To seek is to abandon the here and now. To wake up is to abandon the search." -Alexander den Heijer @purposologist "God desires to give us everything, that is, the fullness of the Divine Life. We just have to be empty enough to receive it." -@isha_das_craig_bullock via IG "You're being guided, strengthed, and wisdomed from within." -Joel Goldsmith "Children, you should develop an attitude of bowing down to anything and everything. Keep the plate of food in front of you and bow down to the food before eating, and bow down to the plate after eating. An attitude to prostrate to anything at any time should come. In this way, an awareness, 'for what am I doing this?' will arise. Thus we should build up good character. Prostrate to the cloth you will wear. Bow down to the water with which you will take a shower. During these occasions of bowing down, you will have a pure resolve to see the same Consciousness in everything whether with form or without. While doing so, you are in fact remembering God." -Amma "Dead promises must resurrect. The dry bones must come to life. He's breathing over the dead area. One breath. One touch. One moment and it all changes. Through this might wind he is breathing life. New life. New season. New births. Hallelujah." -@Godlywaiting via IG
We set out on this path listening to God, remembering God the way God remembers us, until we remember that God is us. That's what we are here for. That's what we're here to practice. That's what we are here to 'win', and you've won. So keep winning. I Love you, Nik ******God is afoot! I’m writing, and working on something BIG (and very useful) for your practice!

In the silence is where all the answers are." -Robert Adams "When the mind becomes empty, then any wish or desire that you have at that time instantly manifests. This is a great secret." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Once you are on this path, there's only victory. Know that you are the ultimate winner."* -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "By being pleasant always and smiling, it takes you nearer to God, nearer than any prayer." -Swami Vivekananda "Clear the mind of all worldly things. If you can't control your mind, how will you realize God." -Neem Karoli Baba / Maharajji

It is not on the way to another moment. It is not a bridge to another opportunity. It is the timeless perfection. So stop and sink into this timeless moment." -Mooji "I have also given you the password, Love. When you come to barriers across your way, use the word freely and forcefully and nothing shall hinder your progress. You will be shown flowers of attainment which will bloom for you as you do well the tasks of the day, as you live largely and freely as a child of the Father who holds all good in His hands for you." -Eva Bell Werber, Journey With the Master

Sending Love to everyone who's tired of feeling stuck." -@michellcclark via IG "Just because you're struggling doesn't mean you're failing." -@Lisettedesigns_ via IG "O Rama, If you thus overcome this sorrow of samsara (birth and death), you will live here on earth itself like a god, like Brahma or Vishnu! For when delusion is gone and the Truth is realized by means of enquiry into Self-nature, when the mind is at peace and the heart leaps to the Supreme Truth, when all the disturbing thought-waves in the mind-stuff have subsided and there is unbroken flow of peace and the heart is filled with the bliss of the absolute, when thus the Truth has been seen in the heart, then this very world becomes an abode of bliss." - Sage Vasishta. *

God and the saints are all powerful but no one has to beg anything from them. They know and so they themselves give what is appropriate." - Maharajji "Spiritual practice is a staircase by which the devotee climbs to God, and God climbs down to the devotee.

The way you have no doubt that you're alive? You have to have THAT kind of faith that God is providing for you. Can you have no doubt about that? No doubt that you're being guided? No doubt you're being sheltered, protected? When you get quiet, when you 'be still and know' that you're aware, that you're alive, you're simultaneously acknowledging the presence of God. THE ALIVENESS AND THE PRESENCE OF GOD ARE ONE. The "I Am" and the presence of God are One. Your presence is His. In that moment, just as you don't doubt that you're alive, you also don't doubt that you're being carried. I Love you and I'm with you, Nik ******God is afoot!

For when he is lost, he is God; not even that he is God, but that God is God. Oneness of God consciousness, one eternal existence, oneness of eternal life, oneness of absolute Being; only the One remains. And then the varieties of life are like the varieties of the waves in the eternal ocean of love of God." -Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Art and Science of Being, Transcendental Meditation "If you gather your will to the point of wakeful absence of thinking, everything you engage in will work out perfectly. Simply make way for the intelligence beyond the mind and let the creator play you like a flute." -Bentinho Massaro "Walk this earth for one purpose only; to show forth God's glory." -Joel Goldsmith Hollow Bamboo Episode
You don't have to force your way into this Silence. You don't have to force your way into this Love. You don't have to force a manifestation. R E L A X, into the Force. That tension you were feeling was the false force, this Stillness that you've softened into, this Love, is THE Force. It's God. And God isn't a He, She, or It. God is an experience-- not something you have to force, just something you have to feel, and not stop feeling, no matter what else you feel, forever. I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com p.s.

That is the hardest part and that is what you are responsible for. Once you take that step let everything do what it naturally does and the rest will follow. Don't go with the flow. Be the flow. " -Shams Tabrizi "That one thing is everything. Your body is God. Your breath is God. Your thoughts are God. The good is God. The bad is God. There is nothing other than that one thing.... then the duality vanishes. You and I vanish... that's Samadhi." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Where God guides, He provides" (Isaiah 58:11) -via IG @SheRises "Rahme is an active force transforming the world around us. When we experience the state to which this Beatitude points, our rebirth allows those whom we love to freely rebirth themselves as well. Ripening in a healthy way are those who radiate womb-like love from the deepest place inside. They shall be reborn within Love's creative stream." -The Aramaic Jesus, Neil Douglas Klotz "For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is." - Yoda "Close your eyes. Feel it. The light...it's always been there. It will guide you." -Maz Kanata "If you're feeling negative emotion, it means you're telling yourself a lie." Abraham Hicks "See I am all in you, and all for you." -Luisa Piccarreta
In moments when you feel pressed, close your eyes, and let the Word(s), 'I can of my own self do nothing' direct you to the Nothing inside. Look at It. Hear It. Feel It. The No Thing that does Everything. Right in that Place that you're attending to now, that you're actually being now, is where you must come back to often during the day. You must retreat here for at least 1-2 minutes every hour. This is how you keep from breaking down. This is how you keep letting go. This is how Love lifts you. I Love you, Nik ******God is afoot!

If you want better things, have patience. If you want best things, surrender to Lord Shriram." -Maharajji Even when it seems as if God isn't answering you, He is. You may be looking for a simple yes or no, but God always faithfully answers: abide." -@Amy_klutinoty IG "As you place yourself in willful dependency on God, he will not disappoint you. In moments when you feel pressed to, and even beyond, your limits, do not panic, nor be afraid" "Do not fear vou will expire as vour resources become depleted, but understand these are the valuable moments in which you will begin to experience me. You will experience me in the times you are in greatest need, and it will shape you and mark you for the rest of your life. You will not forget these times because you will be desperate in your heart, mind, and circumstances. But know, though you are desperate you will not be disappointed, for you will not put your hope, trust, or dependence upon yourself, circumstances, or your resources, but upon me. (1) In this you will learn to move beyond your present limits. You will advance to the edge of your limits, but will encounter me in these limits and will begin to understand how to move beyond them. You will allow yourself to overcome, to understand, and to manifest and possess, what you previously could not. While this experience and process will certainly be uncomfortable, know it will grow you and produce good fruit in your life over the course of time." -Neil Vermillion "Think how it changes the nature of your prayer when you stop looking out or up. Close your eyes and gently, "Look down within," and feel. "Right here, closer to me than breathing, is the very source of everything I shall need in my outer life. There is even the "good pleasure" to give me the entire kingdom." -Joel Goldsmith, Consciousness Transformed "Few souls understand what God would accomplish in them if they were to abandon themselves unreservedly to Him, and if they were to allow His grace to mold them accordingly." -St. Ignatius Loyola
In the presence of God your mind is silent. In the presence of God your mind IS Silence. God heard your prayers before you were born. Your True prayer, the one behind the words-- to be happy, to give love, to be loved, to be Love. He's not asking you to do anything but trust. Give this silence, this stillness your attention, and It will give you everything. I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com ******God is afoot!

You might not be able to see the sun/Son yet, or hear It, but you can feel It, you can feel Him, while you look out at the seeming others and know, they're Him, which means they're perfect. And any problem that is perceived, is misperceived. That they don't have to become more loving, more positive... but that you must abide in that Place inside, of that Source of Love, of Compassion, of clearness of Purpose, first.

Thus you gradually remove finite concepts from your mind and allow its ever-present unconditioned state to come into focus." -Bob Pilato "The key to 'figuring it out' is not trying so hard." - Abraham Hicks "There is really only one problem, distraction. And therefore only one solution- mindfulness." -DJKR "The source is within you. And this whole world is springing from it." - Rumi "The whole universe is full of this voice, if you can but open your (inner) ear and listen to it. The most important facts that should be understood about the Sound Current are that it is God Himself and that it is now within every human being. It is the Supreme Creator, manifested and manifesting. It is not only an emanation of God, but it is God Himself. God is not static. He is superlatively dynamic, and the Sound Current is His dynamic energy and intelligent life force in a continuous process of manifestation. It is the omnipresent form of God which flows into and through everything from the highest to the lowest, and surrounds and pervades everything in the universe. "The Audible Life Stream is the everlasting form of the Lord, and is always within every one of us," says the Master Sawan Singh. But while the Holy Word is within each one of us, we cannot hear its melodies or see its light because we are spiritually deaf and blind. It is to this fact that Jesus referred when he said. "They seeing see not; and hearing they hear not." (Matthew 13:13) - Shah Niaz via Yoga and the Bible "If there is no thought, there is no me, and if there is no me, there is neither thought nor desire nor fear. The whole intent and purpose of self-inquiry is to focus the attention intensely and ceaselessly on the sense of I so that the spurious imposter me and it's identifications are exposed as nonexistent." -Ramesh Balsakar
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!

Feel God saying- 'that thorn in your side (that job, that illness, that person), is to bring you closer to Me, to lock you inside of Me, inside of My Love, inside of My Healing, inside of My Will, so that you'll stop leaving. Don't let the appearance of this world make you forget that you're in Me. That I'm all around you. Just listen, when the noise becomes too much, listen for Me. When you listen to sound, the very listening is Me. The Silence and Sound are not separate. The Formless and Form are not separate. I Am not separate from you. Surrender. Soften.

Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I t the source of your Joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need something more? Let nothing else worry you, disturb you." -Virgin of Guadalupe to Juan Diego, December 12, 1531-From the Original Nican Mopohua recorded by Antonio Valeriano. "Jesus is the beginning, the means and the end of all desires. As I was concerned about the state of my soul, all of a sudden my adorable Jesus came and told me:"My daughter, do not be concerned, for I alone am the beginning, the means and the end of all your desires." With these words I calmed myself in Jesus.

For when I am weak, then I am strong." -2 Corinthians 12
Feeling the breeze, think, "God is breathing on me." Feeling the sun, think, "God is shining on me." Feeling the water, think, "God is cleansing me.'

Things have already 'come together', 'unfolded', 'fallen into place', but they will appear to take time in your experience. It's all here, always now, the storm and the rainbow, but the purpose of your experience is to live moment to seeming moment, in and AS this Love. That's what you're missing. As often as you notice you forget to consult with Me, to listen for Me before acting, you forget to be this Love. If you could just Love more, you would see more of what's already Here. You would stop trying to paint your own doors on walls, and finally, look and see My doors standing wide open for you. Pass through.

When that body slouches, it's like it's slouching into forgetfulness. It's slouching into worry. It's slouching into overthinking. Sit back up straight, like you’re on your Throne, and be Greatness. In this posture, that body is like an antenna, receiving, remembering Greatness, remembering its Divine Essence, remembering Truth. Remembering that everything it encounters is also Greatness, is one with Greatness. That there is nothing but Greatness. I Love you, Nik Nikki@curlynikki.com ******God is afoot!

You're back! But you have to keep coming back. In the midst of your day, in the midst of that impulse to scroll your phone, in the midst of your worry sessions, you must surrender to this process that's unfolding, that's happening to you. God is doing something extraordinary through you-- that's the tension you feel. That's the anxiety you feel. It's not because of anything that appears to be happening in your life. It's the growth happening in Here. Fix your eyes, Here. Even when you're seeing what's around you, it's like you're looking inside. You're feeling inside. You're hearing inside. You've changed, inside, even though the mind disagrees. God knows, and you'll see. I Love you, Nik nikki@curlynikki.com ******God is afoot!

We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed." - Alice Walker, Living by the Word "God did not bring you to this wilderness to leave you. But to lead you to a better life." -via IG @LaurenFortenberry "Something really beautiful happens when you're in the middle of your pain and you choose to surrender everything to God." -via IG @goforspiritual "We're not pretending to be joyful or hiding behind rose-colored glasses we're smiling faithfully and truthfully in every season because we know Him and His way of working in the unseen." -@wildflowerpages via IG "When we fix our eyes on God and watch Him work, the Lord will help us not to be shaken or unsettled." -Karen Ehman
*God is saying, 'It's the Love that counts. It's the Love that matters. It's the Love I hear. It's the Love that prays, that breathes.' Right now, breathe like you know who you are, like you know whose you are. Smile, like you know where you're going. You don't... you're walking by faith not by sight, but you're making it.

It's taking place in the ocean of Love. Hear this Silence. Feel this Love. And you'll see that even that disturbing thought, its essence is Love.
