It has no worries in a year of drought,
and never fails to bear fruit.”

Be receptive, today.
Be Love, today.

Today's Quotes:   

"Sit up tall and focus on what you can hear, and focus on the objects you can see by becoming aware of your present reality...Evoke the picture of a mountain in your mind. Look at its beauty, its peaks, valleys, and vegetation. It’s starting to rain, then raining harder. A torrent of water hits the mountain, but it remains undisturbed. Now bring your body into the image. Your head is the mountain’s peak, your shoulders and arms its sides, your torso the middle, and your legs the firm base. Even though the rain of your life circumstances is hitting you, you remain peaceful like the mountain that remains stable in any weather. The mountain is unaffected by passing clouds, so you are not affected by passing emotions and thoughts..."
-Sacinananda Swami

"Though struck by torrents of water, the mountain does not shake but rather becomes beautiful, being washed of dirt.  Similarly, a devotee, afflicted by the pains caused by his body, mind or other entities, is not disturbed because his mind is absorbed in the Supreme Lord."
-Srila Thakura via The Mountain Meditation

"Be still like a mountain and flow like a great river."
-Lao Tzu

SONG: "Higher Than the Mountains" (I reside)
Slow down
And give your mind a rest
Calm down
And do your best
Become one in the eyes of love
Seeking god above
It's all inside, it's all inside

I'm higher than the mountains
Higher than the mountains
Ooh higher than the mountain
Slow down, down low
You make me high, oooo"
- Sam Garrett

Today's my birthday, my appearance day, and all I want is the gift of your conscious smile!

Relax your shoulders as you read this.
Notice your breathing as you read this.
Allow a gentle smile as you feel Love inside.
Thank you :)

If all you did was smile consciously today,
something would change.

If all you did was smile consciously, everyday,
everything would change.

I Love you,

Today's Quotes:   

"There is no such thing as an enlightened person. The truth is identical for both of us. I haven’t achieved a better status than you. When you hear someone say that searching for enlightenment is like fish in the ocean struggling to find water, this is what they mean. One fish may know it and another may not, but they’re both swimming in an ocean of water and always were."

Though in my experience, Bliss appears as the world.

In today's episode, I share a synchronistic moment that happened over the weekend involving covid, my mantra (Hare Krishna, Hare Rama), and a majestic looking Egret.  The photo evidence is up on my Patreon! 

We also practice remembering Go(o)d memories with the sole/soul purpose of constantly feeling Go(o)d. THIS is why memory has been given to us.

Today's Quotes:   
"Dear you,
You who always have
so many things to do
so many places to be
your mind spinning like
fan blades at high speed
each moment always a blur
because you’re never still.
I know you’re tired.
I also know it’s not your fault.
The constant brain-buzz is like
a swarm of bees threatening
to sting if you close your eyes.
You’ve forgotten something again.
You need to prepare for that or else.
You should have done that differently.
What if you closed your eyes?
Would the world fall
apart without you?
Or would your mind
become the open sky
flock of thoughts
flying across the sunrise
as you just watched and smiled."
- by Kaveri Patel via Daily Meditation

"Life is found only in the present moment. I think we should have a holiday to celebrate this fact. We have holidays for so many important occasions - Christmas, New Year's, Mother's Day, Father’s Day, even Earth Day - why not celebrate a day when we can live happily in the present moment all day long? I would like to declare today ”Today’s Day”, a day dedicated to touching the Earth, touching the sky, touching the trees, and touching the Peace that is available in the present moment.
- Thich Nhat Hanh, in ”Essential Writings”

"Behind the scenes, we see, the Great One, appearing as everyone!'
-Joel Goldsmith

"I have been saying 'hey' lately too, to God.
Formalities just weren't working."
-Rumi 

“I see the Lord in His universe, viewing a beautiful tree, my heart is moved and whispers: ‘He is there!’ I bow to adore Him. Doesn’t He permeate every atom of the earth? Could our planet exist at all except by the cohesive power of God? A true devotee, she sees Him in all persons, in all things; each rock becomes an altar.”
-Yogananda

"Hey God."
-Bon Jovi

SONG: "I Love you Lord, Today"

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

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,
Nik

Today'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

The felt-Presence of God turns down your belief in thoughts,
it turns down your belief in problems,
it turns down your belief in other powers,
powers other than God.
The whole world has God behind it,
you just have to keep turning God up,
and turning the world down.

I Love you and Happy Mother’s Day!

Today's Quotes:

“People try to get away from it all—to the country, to the beach, to the mountains. You always wish that you could too. Which is idiotic: you can get away from it anytime you like. By going within. Nowhere you can go is more peaceful—more free of interruptions—than your own soul.”
-Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

"Turn my headphones up." 
-Dave Chappelle 

"When you begin to sit still and you look upon the mind, the thoughts, you witness the thoughts, you watch the thoughts, the mind slows down. As you continue witnessing the thoughts, watching the thoughts, the mind becomes weaker and weaker and weaker and you become happier and happier and happier. Bliss comes when the mind is at rest. Unalloyed happiness comes when the mind is inactive."
-Robert Adams

Every time I remember that God is with me,
I know the world is for me, 
from Me. 

“To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.”
- Lao Tzu

Affirm: 'God goes with me wherever I go", and feel into this meditation from 'A Course in Miracles': 

"Today’s idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and abandonment all the separated ones experience. Depression is an inevitable consequence of separation. ³So are anxiety, worry, a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering and intense fear of loss.

The separated ones have invented many “cures” for what they believe to be “the ills of the world.” But the one thing they do not do is to question the reality of the problem. Yet its effects cannot be cured because the problem is not real. The idea for today has the power to end all this foolishness forever. And foolishness it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may take.

Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to them.

You can never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. You can never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. You can never be alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever you go. Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with you wherever you go.

We understand that you do not believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden deep within, under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we will make our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud, and to go through it to the light beyond.

There will be only one long practice period today. In the morning, as soon as you get up if possible, sit quietly for some three to five minutes, with your eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat today’s idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. Try, instead, to get a sense of turning inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear of any thoughts that might divert your attention.

From time to time, you may repeat the idea if you find it helpful. But most of all, try to sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these things. You are trying to leave appearances and approach reality.

It is quite possible to reach God. In fact it is very easy, because it is the most natural thing in the world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open, if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring very startling results even the first time it is attempted, and sooner or later it is always successful. But it will never fail completely, and instant success is possible.

Throughout the day use today’s idea often, repeating it very slowly, preferably with eyes closed. Think of what you are saying; what the words mean. Concentrate on the holiness that they imply about you; on the unfailing companionship that is yours; on the complete protection that surrounds you.

You can indeed afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go."
-ACIM, Lesson 41

Every time you come into a new moment,
into a new seeming worldly situation today,
find your exits into Truth.
Find your breath,
Find the Name,
Find His Silence.
Find the Love,
and then engage with the moment fully. 
Enjoy your Self,
but know the Truth.
Only Love is here.

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:  

“Meditate unceasingly, that you quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. Cease being a prisoner of the body; using the secret key of Kriya, learn to escape into Spirit.“
- Lahiri Mahasaya 

"There's simply no polite way to tell people that they've dedicated their lives to an illusion."
-Daniel Dennet

"There's nothing to think about except illusion."
-Peter Stoughton 

"All is illusion except the name of God.”
-Ramayana 

“My thoughts are not me
But my thoughts make me feel like I am them
If I believe in them I start to feel, “I am having a bad day today “
A thought cannot have a bad day, 
It’s just the believer in the thought that can have a bad day.
But the believer in a thought is also a kind of thought…  The most dangerous thought actually, because nobody suspects it is a thought. We all think it is us. And because we think it is us... our life becomes very unstable and unsteady because even that identity is not steady.  ‘The only steady thing is the Self which is what we really are.’”
-Mooji

"Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you saying this is the way, walk in it."
-Isaiah 30:21
