GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki: The Rosary

If you're off from work,
actually be off from work, today.
Don't take thought,
take This.
This Silence.
Your Song.
His Peace.
Quiet your mind and get the comfort.
Quiet your mind and get the answers. 

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"There is not one thought worthy of having."
-Ram Dass  

"Your life is right now! It’s not later! It’s not in that time of retirement. It’s not when the lover gets here. It’s not when you’ve moved into the new house. It’s not when you get the better job. Your life is right now. It will always be right now. You might as well decide to start enjoying your life right now, because it’s not ever going to get better than right now—until it gets better right now!" 
-Abraham-Hicks

"We search for Him here and there while looking right at Him.
Sitting by His side we ask, 
'O Beloved, where is the Beloved?'
Enough with such questions!"
-Rumi

"God is here. I am safe."
-Daily Word- September-October 2022 (Unity Publication)

When I sit down in the morning to chant, I'm sitting down to feel Love.
When I' sitting down to record for you, I'm sitting down to feel Love.
When I'm doing yoga or breathing exercises, I'm doing it to feel Love.
When I'm doing any spiritual practice, ever, I'm only doing it as a way to feel Love.
The practices will "get you in the room with Christ.
But only Love will keep you (t)here."*

Everything I do, I do for Love... to remember It, to feel It, to know It as my Self.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"The most subtle aspect of my teaching is Love. The circle around that subtle point, in order to realize it, is the spiritual practices such as meditation, repetition of the name of the Lord, talking with good people, directing the mind away from harmful thoughts, and so on. In themselves, these spiritual practices are of no value. The only thing of real value is Love itself."
-Satya Sai Baba 

"The true mystic is not a devotee lost in ecstatic communion with the One, or a reclusive saint who avoids others. The true mystic lives alongside other people- coming and going, eating and sleeping, buying and selling, marrying and chatting-- but not for a moment does he forget God."
-Abus Sa'id lbn Abi-l-Khayr 

"The yogi medicine puts you in a room with Christ.  But it can’t keep you there. The only thing that can keep you there is love."*
-Maharajji

"Q: I have been practicing japa and meditation for a long time, but there is not enough progress.

Amma: You should also love God. Without love no amount of japa and meditation will bear fruit. When your love for God becomes very strong, all the bad vasanas (mental tendencies) within you will automatically drop away. Rowing a boat against the current is difficult, but if there is a sail it becomes easy. Love for God is like a sail that helps the boat go forward.
When two lovers are sitting together, they won't like it when anyone comes near them. A real sadhak has the same attitude. He doesn't like anything that isn't related to God. Living with the thought of God always in his mind, he can't bear any obstacles that come between himself and God. Compared to his love for God, everything else is worthless to him.
Son, one should have true lakshya bodha (one-pointed focus on the goal). Only then can one's sadhana (spiritual practices) become deep. When someone sets out with a strong desire to reach a certain place, no obstacle can stop him. If he misses the bus, he will take a taxi. But if he lacks interest, he may decide to go home if he misses the bus, thinking he can try again the next day. Children, without intensity in sadhana it is difficult to reach the goal.
Before you sow the seed you have to prepare the land, clearing it of grass and weeds. Otherwise it is difficult for the seeds to sprout. In the same way, we can enjoy the bliss of the Self only if we clear the mind of all external things and direct it to God."
-A

Know that Love is here.  Know that everything is changing.  Know that It, what's meant for you, is happening! And there's nothing you or anyone can do to stop It. It's all flowing from you, and that flow sounds like Silence and feels like relaxation, like Love.  Step into your destiny by resting in and AS this Love.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

“When I run after what I think I want,
my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety;
if I sit in my own place of patience,
what I need flows to me, and without pain.
From this I understand that
what I want also wants me,
is looking for me and attracting me.
There is a great secret here
for anyone who can grasp it.”
- Shams-i Tabrizi

“There is an inmost center in us all, where truth abides in fullness;....and, to know, rather consists in opening out a way where the imprisoned splendor may escape, then in effecting entry for a light supposed to be without.”
-Robert Browning

No matter what I see, I focus on God.
No matter what I hear, I focus on God.
And when I'm focused on God, God is focused on me,
and I'm free.

Today's Quotes:

"Though there are days you feel you cannot continue, let me assure you I will not allow you to be tested you above what you can bear. I know you feel lifeless, as if you have no energy left. I know you feel more than weary, as if there is no possible way you can continue. I know you are hard pressed on every side, feeling crushed, downtrodden, and overwhelmed, but despite these things allow yourself to engage with me. As you do, you will find new strength available for you. You will see new perspective and acquire new understanding to situations that seem hopeless. You will find new courage to circumstances that seem so overwhelming and frightening.

In me you will see the world as I do and will have no fear. In me you will not concern yourself with temporary setbacks or irrelevant losses that do not matter in the big scheme of things. I will change your perspective and your interpretation of your surroundings. I will change the emotions within your heart, and as a result, you will choose to respond differently."
-Neil Vermillion of NeilVermillion.com    

"I focus on God and find Peace."
-Oct 22, 2022 Daily Word- 'Inner Peace'

"To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace." 
-Romans 8:6

Everything you see is a temptation for you to believe in something other than God.
God is appearing as that phone,
as that person,
as that headline, temporarily,
only to take you Beyond.
Can you remember?
Remember ME.
Do this in remembrance of Me.
Do everything you do all day in remembrance of Him, of It, of your Self, of Love.
Let everything bring you back Here,
and then stay Here,
until there's no you, either.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:
"The sound Abba reminds us to remember and praise the Father. It positions us as the child. St. Paul calls it the word of our adoption by God. We need not be concerned with small self wants, a knowing father will provide.  Abba is a meditative prayer whose constant, devoted repetition brings us closer to understanding the first commandment. More devotion to that word means less devotion to other words. As all those lesser words fall away, we become aware of a luminous, silent presence.  Abba is a word that glides with the inhalation and exhalation of the breath. Its Sanskrit equivalent is Aabbhaa and means to shine, irradiate, blaze, appear and become visible. It is a word that invokes the light.  Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.” Give us this day our daily bread.  And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.” - Luke 11 (2:4)
-McDermott, Brian. Hidden in Plain Sight—The Mantra of Jesus Christ 

"The use of the Lord’s name, the informal loving form of Father, simplifies us back to children. We sit with one word to solve all problems. He who has the name as his only word of concern becomes simple in outlook and penetrating in mind—a child of the Kingdom."
-McDermott, Brian. Hidden in Plain Sight—The Mantra of Jesus Christ 

"Sit down, recollect your spirit, introduce it—I mean your spirit—into your nostrils; that is the route your breath takes to reach the heart. Pull it in so to force it to descend to your heart at the same time as the air is breathed in. When it is there, you will see the joy that follows; you will have nothing to regret. Just as the one who returns home after an absence can no longer contain the joy at being able to see spouse and children again, so the spirit when it is united to the soul overflows with joy and ineffable delight."
-Reho, James Hughes. Tantric Jesus: The Erotic Heart of Early Christianity (pp. 181-182). Inner Traditions/Bear & Company. Kindle Edition.

You were promised God's Name,
but can you make the promise today to walk in that Name?
Hearing It, feeling It in each step?
Remembering that no matter which Name you're calling,
It's only guiding you back to the real Name...
which is YOUR Name-
His Presence,
His Church,
Your Shelter,
Your Home.

"God isn't calling you to go to church, he's calling you to be His church."

"Please keep me calm in the stillness of your presence. Help me to cling to You in all circumstances."
-@hertrueworth via IG

"My chosen ones have walked in me, and my ways I will make known  to then that seek me, and I will promise them my Name. Alleluia."
-Odes of Solomon 33:13  

“The only life raft here is Love and the Name. Say it brother, O, say the divine Name, dear sister, silently as you walk. Don’t die again with that Holy ruby mine inside still unclaimed, when you could be swinging a golden pick with each step.” 
- Hafiz

"The Kingdom of God is spread upon the earth, and men do not see it.'* The Kingdom isn't far away.  The Kingdom is right here and right now. The challenge of Jesus' message is that it constantly asks of us: Can you see it? Can you see the Kingdom right now? Right in the midst of this very moment in the midst of this very life that often seems mundane and ordinary-- can you see eternity? Have you allowed yourself and your world to be rendered transparent to the underlying divinity that shines through it?   
- from Adyashanti's, 'Resurrecting Jesus'

*The Gospel of St. Thomas 113

God is always hiding behind everything--
behind everyone,
behind every moment,
behind every cloud,
this Light is.
All you have to do is stay on the lookout.
Like you are right now,
aware of God breathing you,
aware of It smiling your face, and appearing as you,
changing you. 
Changing the season.
It's your season, now,   
Your moment.
Show up.
Don't fear.

Today, I want you to prioritize the Silence. Make yourself the ‘quiet vessel’ and ‘get out of your own way’, so that you may hear the feeling of Love and unfold Its unique path for you. Take 5-10 minutes today to sit on the charger :)  You got the juice!

Today's Quotes: 
Today's Quotes:  "When we plug the battery into the charger, it doesn't chatter away about how much it needs charging... it simply and quietly accepts the inflow of energy. And when we pray, Jesus is telling us, we should get into the depths of our being, and shut out the concerns of the world, and "pray to the Father in secret".

As we grow in understanding of the Truth of our relationship with God, as we begin to see ourselves in the light of our divinity, prayer becomes an experience in the silent.  We put the words of entreaty, of supplication, even of adoration behind us.  Our heart speaks in the language of the soul.  We praise God through our feeling of gratitude.  We worship through our spirit of reverence.  We ask for help through our receptive mind and heart. We affirm the Truth of being by meditating quietly upon it."

-Eric Butterworth, excerpt from 'Discover the Power Within You: A Guide to the Unexplored Depths Within'

"A true Christian is a true Hindu, and a true Hindu is a true Christian." - Swami Vivekananda

“Along this path of knowledge, I find that prayer and meditation are elemental. Guidance comes from those practices. Sometimes in meditation one really tries to think of nothing. I do, anyway. I try not to have any focus or use any focus to get away from everything. I try to make myself a quiet vessel, a quiet pool where ideas can rise."
- Maya Angelou
