GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki: The Rosary

Take a few moments to notice that when you're not blinking, you're not thinking.  And notice what you FEEL in that pause.  Love.  Become a transparency for that Love to shine through, for the Kingdom to reach out and through and touch others.  Text someone a message of gratitude, today.  Be Love, today, and remember that the Kingdom is not only where you reside, It's what you are.

I Love you and I'm with you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"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

"By and by your consciousness will become more and more centered in the eyes. You will just be aware; there will be no thinking.  Eyes cannot think. When the whole consciousness is centered in the eyes, the mind has no energy left for thinking.  There is no mind-- only the eyes exist-- so there is no thinking." - Osho

When you're hearing your mantra, you're Love Focused.
When you're hearing the silence, you're Love Focused.
When you're seeing the space surrounding the objects, you're Love Focused.
When you're seeing and feeling God where you see people,  you're Loved Focused.
Rumi said concentrate on the Essence,
concentrate on the Light.
Eyes fixed on the Love, on the Soul--
when you're eyes are fixed Here,
the future fixes itself.

I Love you,

"Each instant, put your heart into it again.
Each moment, remind yourself again,
Each second, check  yourself again.

In the morning, commit yourself again.
Each meditation session, examine mind minutely
Never be apart from dharma, not even accidentally.
Continually, do not forget.
-Patrum Rinpoche

Warmed by the Light of God, fed by the Ground of BEing,
your life has been brought to blossoming.
And as you stay here, rooted in Love, swaying in Grace, 
you make the inevitable transition from being a 'hearer of the word, to a doer of the word'. 
From flowering, to fruiting.

I Love you and I'm with you,
Nik

“But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. “For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: “For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was."
-James 1:22–25 

"The secret of meditation is to visualize God in one of His eternal aspects- as infinite light, cosmic sound, eternal peace, love, or joy; seek to unite yourself with Him in that aspect."
-Yogananda 

"it is possible for anyone to change the trend of his life, not by hearing or reading truth, but by making it an active part of his consciousness in daily experience, until it becomes a habit every moment of the day, instead of an occasional thought. Let these principles operate in consciousness morning, noon, and night, until gradually the actual awareness comes. Then we make the transition from being hearers of the Word to being doers of the Word. Then we shall be abiding in the Word and shall bear fruit richly."
-Joel Goldsmith

The Tree, by Eva Bell Werber in 'Quiet Talks with the Master'

"The Lord is on my head like a crown, and I shall not be without him.
They wove for me a crown of truth, and it caused Thy branches to bud in me.
For it is not like a withered crown which buddeth not.
But Thou livest upon my head, and Thou hast blossomed upon me.
Thy fruits are full-grown and perfect; they are full of Thy salvation. Alleluia."
-The Ode of Solomon

Every time you leave the Silence for too long now, you get Homesick.
Homesick looks like anger, it looks like stress, it looks like fatigue.
And even as you experience the fatigue, you listen again for the Lover's voice.
And you remember that where the fatigue appears to be only Rest is,
only Perfection is.
When you forget to hear Silence, you hear thoughts--
thoughts that tell you that you're tired, that you've still got a long way to go...
when you're really Home, already.
You're always Home.
R E S T.

"You are the obstacle and you are the way. You need not look further than breath."
-Anu Kaul

You think you're sitting in that familiar room,
but you're really sitting in the blessing.
Even as you see the same stuff, you're not disheartened by it.
You're not fooled by it.
You're led by it, 
to the Energy behind it that creates new rooms.
To that Energy that keeps you praying,
keeps you believing,
 keeps you trusting and remembering,
that God is in you and you are in God,
and nothing is impossible here.
Nothing is the same.
You've arrived,
so act like It.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:   

Meditation adapted from Robert Adams 

"The day before everything changes, everything seems the same. Keep praying, keep believing, keep hoping, keep trusting, keep praising."
-@Rock_solid_ministries_intl via IG

"You're doing everything right. You're loving yourself more, you're increasing your gratitude, you're restoring your faith; there isn't a single part of your soul you haven't nurtured, recovered, and healed. Don't let your mind convince you that you're not where you're supposed to be: you're inside the blessing. Ground your current energy so deeply in this moment that your past self has no choice but to walk away. Having the ability to grow and be at peace in the same environment that tested you is why your magic is just different. You're invincible. Drown out the noise of negative energies and tune into the soft melody of your intuition. The Universe always has the final word."
-@The diaryofagoddess , Esther T via IG

"Forget the past. Everything in the future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now."
-Swami Sri Yukteswar 

Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

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.

Ride your inner elevator from the mind down into the Heart.  Ride it from noise to Silence. From chaos to Peace. From fear to Love.  It's noisy in the head, but quiet in the Heart. Stay (t)here in this Loving Silence. Don't ride the elevator back up. Stay (t)here. Stay Love.

Today's Quote: 

"The mind should be kept in the heart as long as it has not reached the Highest End.  This is wisdom, and this is liberation.  Everything else is only words." 
-Maitri Upanishad 6.24

Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

In order to cope with the uncertainty of your future,
you have to realize the certainty of this felt-Love--
of Its oneness, of Its allness, of Its completeness.
From this energy of Love, you'll come to see that the
future you've been wanting is already the past.
You have It. You are It.
So embody It,
by smiling,
exhaling longer,
relaxing,
TRUSTING,
DEEPER.
Let Love in, from the inside.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:   

"The more trouble we have, the more we need meditation... Lots of people who have asked my advice about their troubles have later come back and said, "Now everything is all right." And the only advice I had given them was just to meditate a little more."
-Swami Bhaktananda Giri 

"Keep a green tree in your heart and perhaps a singing bird will come."

This moment in time and space is an
eggshell with an embryo crumpled inside, 
soaked in belief-yolk,
under the wing of grace, 
until it breaks free of mind to become the
song of an actual bird, and God.”
― Rumi, The Soul of Rumi: A New Collection of Ecstatic Poems

"And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple, but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind, I hope you don't mind
That I put down in the words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world"
-Sir Elton John, Your Song

"Melodies from Heaven
Rain down on me, rain down on me"

"God is fulfilling Itself as my life right now. If I remain conscious of that truth, I will behold Gold fulfilling Itself as my life.  If I don't remain conscious of it, I will continue dreaming that I have a human life and behold a life of fearing and desiring."
-Bob Pilato

"As I walk towards You, every step I take is a blessing."
-Rumi  
     
He assumed he had it and continued to assume he had it until his assumption took on the feeling of reality and he got it. This is how you find God in yourself, by being persistent in your assumption."
-Neville Goddard

sing praises
when trouble's in your life
sing praises
hallelujah (rep 3 times)"
