GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki: The Rosary

Today's Quotes: 

"When God loves people He afflicts them.  If they endure with fortitude, He chooses them." - Rumi

"If only you can go through difficult times with inner Grace, every situation you face will be an opportunity to enhance your life." -Sadhguru 

"Don't stop believing, hold on to the feeling."- Journey, 1988

Today's Practice: The next time you're angry,  shift from being the one who is angry, to being the One that is aware that anger has come.  It's a simple (not easy, lol) shift that happens the moment you become aware of Silence, or Love, or your mantra.  You go from being angry to being the Loving Awareness of anger. Cut on some music, take a shower, change the scene (switch rooms) if you can...pause, breathe, smile.  And then let Love move that body into right action.  Let Love heal everything, because It is everything.

Today's Quotes-  

"Never confuse outer symbols for reality.  Know them for what they are.  Always turn within where Reality dwells allowing the living soul of you to speak for you the Truth. 

Always know that the Life Force which lives you is your guide and you will never confuse reality for that which is unreal.  

Always do you have access to the holy shrine within you. Come now to that shrine, let us be still together."
-Eva Bell Werber from 'In His Presence' 

"When formerly answering my mail or phone calls, if a student said, “I have a cold,” or “I need a job,” or “Business is bad,” or “I have family trouble,” I would reply that I would take care of it, assuming they knew and understood that I was going to take care of a spiritual realization. However, since I discovered that they were perfectly willing to stay in the attitude of problems and demonstrations, I stopped that practice about a year ago [circa 1963]. It is a form of metaphysics I do not understand. All I can do is try to lift you into a spiritual consciousness where you become aware of the presence of the Christ. I can do nothing about those other things.
-Joel Goldsmith, 1964 London Class

"You've got to be centered in God, that's your number one priority.  That's all you've got to do at all times- to be centered in God and everything must come your way, it's a law.  Spirit draws unto Itself.  Spirit will employ you because Spirit is you. But if you're not Spirit or if you disclaim being Spirit or if you act like a human and not Spirit, how can Spirit serve?"
-Herb Fitch

"Your Heart knows the way. Run in that direction."
- Rumi

"Things that excite you are not random. They are connected to your purpose. Follow Them."
- Deepak Chopra

"There's so much peace in knowing that you will not miss out on what's meant for you."
-unknown on IG

The Kanye West song I mentioned, 'Come to Life' from Donda (track 22).

Today's Practice:
Take out your notebook and write down your 'thing'.  That thing you can't stop talking about. That thing you would do for free.  And start doing some form of it today.  Begin unfolding your Soul's purpose.  Come to Life. Come to Love. Tell Divine Love, tell God that you're ready.

Say, "I'm ready."

I love you,
Nik

When you turn from your problems to My Presence,
your load is immediately lighter.*
You live in a new way,
You see in a new way,
you consistently feel a new way,
and so God does a new thing.
He's already done It.
But now you're about to see It.
You're walking right into It.
I N E V I T A B L E,
your blessings.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes: 

"My child. Your mind leaps from problems to problems to problems, tangling your thoughts in anxious knots.  When you think like that, you leave Me out of your worldview and your mind becomes darkened. Though I yearn to help, I will not violate your freedom. I stand silently in the background of your mind, waiting for you to remember that I am with you. 
When you turn from your problems to My Presence, your load is immediately lighter.  Circumstances may not have changed, but we carry your burdens together. Your compulsion to "fix" everything gives way to a deep, satisfying connection with Me. Together we can handle whatever this day brings.    
-Sarah Young, "Jesus Calling"

"Whatever action we are doing, we should be sure to keep the thought of God alive within. Whenever we sit or get up, we should prostrate in that place. It is good to cultivate the habit of considering our pen, books, clothes, vessels, and the tools of our job as imbued with divine presence and use them with care and respect. This will help keep the thought of God alive throughout our body, mind, and atmosphere."
-Amma 

“A day of silence can be a pilgrimage in itself.”
-Hafiz

How do you feel when you're on a journey with someone who has already been there before?
With someone that knows the way?
With someone who is The Way?
You trust.
You smile.
You relax your shoulders,
and enjoy the view.
If you stay where your feet are,
you'll arrive.

I Love you,
Nik

See through your clouds all week.
This idea of a week, even a short one, is a cloud.
Going back to work tomorrow,  a cloud.
Are you going to meet it with fatigue, annoyance, avoidance?
Or can you meet it with His smile in your heart,
and a smile on your face?
Facing your clouds and seeing through them is how you qualify for God's calling on your life.
 
I Love you,
Nik

If this is a spiritual reality, of what value is the body?

Feel the answer to that question in today's meditation.

Spoiler, cause I know you like instant gratification : The body is how we come to know God.

How do you surrender to God?
You become like an empty cup. 
A wholly silent,
Holy vessel.
Let Him fill you.

Today's Quotes:    

"If you surrender totally to God, He will make sure that you don't lack anything."
-Amma via @Ramdasbatchelder via IG 

“When you are free of your identity and your person, nothing more needs to be learned. It's like another power, a great presence, flowing through this body and it doesn't seem strange. The less there is of you, the more you are. What a paradox! You without you are the real You. You without your person are the face of God.
Your life doesn't get more complex, more sophisticated, more learned. You are not becoming a great scholar. It is so simple, there is a presence, wisdom, love, unlimited. A peace, unbreakable, alive, without end. Not a person. And yet you feel it inside, 'I don't do anything, I simply am.'”
-Mooji

Simply thinking, 'the Presence goes before me’,  is not enough.
You have to listen for that Presence,
feel for It.
In the feeling of It, It has already 'gone before you to make the crooked places straight',
It's healing what's behind you,
and It's where and what you are presently, performing miracles.
When you stay with Him.
He stays with you.
In you.
As you.
Consciously.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:    

“God is compassion. He is waiting at the door of every heart. He is an uninvited guest everywhere, because whether you call Him or not, He is there. Whether you are a believer or a nonbeliever, He is within you uninvited. Behind every form, behind everything, God is hiding. He beautifies things and makes them what they are. He is the hidden formula of life. But He won’t reveal Himself to you. You won’t feel Him unless you call Him. Prayer is the invitation. You must invoke Him through prayer and meditation. Chanting, singing and repeating the mantra are invitations, asking God to reveal Himself.”
-Amma 

"The Presence does go before you, and It “makes the crooked places straight”—if you have the conscious awareness of the Presence. There are persons all over the world declaring, “The Presence goes before me,” and It does not do a single thing for them. No, no, the Presence does not go before you just because you declare some words, nor is God consciously present with you just because you declare It.

God is an experience. God must be experienced, and we experience God through our meditation. I am not saying meditation is the only way to have the experience. There are people on earth who have never meditated who have a conscious awareness of the presence of God all the time. But those who have not had the experience of the presence of God have not lived, and if they have not experienced the presence of God, it is because they have not specifically known the truth and then gone to the source where God is to be found.

Do you understand now what I mean when I point out there must be discipline and a declaration or statement of truth, a realization of truth, and yet, in the same breath, I say that when you get to the point of prayer or treatment, you do not need words or thoughts? Let this be clear to you. Do not hesitate about it, because it is very important."

-Joel S. Goldsmith: The Only Freedom. Chapter Six; The Discipline of Knowing The Truth; Practice Is Essential; Kindle: location pp 99

"We've been together for a while now
We're growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there's no doubt
I will stay with you as each morning brings the sunrise
And the flowers bloom in springtime
On my love you can rely
And I'll stay with you

Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arise
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you."
-John Legend, Stay With You

"The God Who Stays"
-Matthew West 

"When you are faced with the Fact, thought does not operate."

This Holy Silence is God saying;

"There is no problem...
that mind that is so heavy? It isn't even there,
because I'm there.
I'm here.
Hear Me.
Listen to Me."

And in that listening your shoulders come down,
your breath deepens,
lengthens,
your stomach goes soft,
your jaw relaxes,
you become aware of the weight of your phone in your hand,
and even though that face may not be smiling just yet,
your Heart Is.
And that's the 'upleveling'.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:   

"The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still."
-ACIM

"Become so still you can hear the blood flowing through your veins."
-Mira

"Now when an emotional upset starts, it may start out of a thought process, but then it starts to involve all of the body — the adrenaline and all kinds of chemical reactions. Then often, one of the ways out of it is to work with the body.  For example, running or movement. Taking a walk. Doing things which start to release the energy, the kind of chemical buildup. Because you get that kind of nervous energy when you are emotionally upset. Then there is meditation–quieting down and allowing yourself to see how lost you’ve gotten. I mean on the deeper devotional path, there is the offering of the emotion to God.  Saying, “Here, You take it.  I offer it to You.”  There is appreciating your humanity. “Yea, here I am. I’m human. I just lost it again.  Ah so!” There’s the Ah so — Right? “Okay. Once more. Boy, am I hung up.” These are all spiritual techniques. See, it’s the upleveling. It’s the ability to see it without denying it. Not saying, “I’m not really upset.” “I am upset. Far out. Here we are again.” It’s like talking with God and saying “Oh, look at how deliciously human I am.” Not to milk it.  Not to keep feeding it, but not to push it away. That’s the quickest way through. To acknowledge it, allow it, and then use body energy to keep working out the chemical stuff that’s built up and the tension in the body that’s been built up. And then get on with it and just keep letting go, letting go, letting go. Sometimes music does it. There are a lot of techniques that do it."
-Ram Dass

“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one”
-Rumi 

"Gain this consciousness of God’s presence and you have the whole secret of success in every walk of life.
...
It is our conscious union with God which enables us to live without taking thought and makes possible a life of complete abundance – by Grace."
