Today's Quote:

Lyrics to 'All You Need is Love' by the Beatles 

"There's nothin' you can do that can't be done
Nothin' you can sing that can't be sung
Nothin' you can say, but you can learn how to play the game
It's easy
Nothin' you can make that can't be made
No one you can save that can't be saved
Nothin' you can do, but you can learn how to be you in time
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need

There's nothin' you can know that isn't known
Nothin' you can see that isn't shown
There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be
It's easy

All you need is love
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
All you need is love (all together now)
All you need is love (everybody)
All you need is love, love."

Today, we take a mini retreat and convert every scary, inner headline (thoughts,  and every outer headline, back into God, back into Love.

We have to experience Love more than we're experiencing the world, and that's what changes the world.

Every time you hear the word 'war',
PAUSE
and remember, 'only Love is here.'
And allow these words to guide you back to the silent Awareness of Love.
You've been practicing for this very moment,
to see that you can remember,
to see that you have the courage to look through appearances,
to not judge by appearances,
to know that God is in the midst of you,
is in you,
is being you,
and everyone else.

I Love you and I'm with you,
Nik

Today's Quotes: 

"This sky. This sky where we live is no place to lose your wings, so 
love
love
love."
-Hafiz 

"It wasn’t for pleasure or pastime that Scripture reveals that “one with God is a majority,” or that even “two or more gathered together in my name,” or that “ten righteous men can save a city.” We don’t have to wait for three billion people to learn this truth to save the world. A little handful of us can uphold this I, can live with this I up here, face the world with It always, and watch the evils of this world dissolve in the consciousness of personal enemies, national enemies, international enemies. But somebody must hold up the banner of I. Somebody must admit the I that is knocking at the door of this whole world, seeking entrance. Now, let us go beyond this room; let us go beyond each of us individually, and let us remember that this I, of which I have been talking, is God. The I is knocking at the door of this entire world at this minute and begging to be admitted, and all we have to do, a little of us, a group of us—is to open this world to the presence of I. Open the door and say, “Father come in, for in Thy presence, there is no warfare; in Thy presence is peace; in Thy presence is fulfillment.” And, open the door of your consciousness, open the door of this universe, and admit God. For this world is suffering from only one thing: the absence of God."
-'The Government of Eden' by Joel Goldsmith 

"Even when you let go of His hand, He's still holding yours."
-Krishna Das/Maharajji 

"Don't freak out."
-Neem Das

You don't have to pray for God's presence, ever.
You never have to ask Love to come to you or reveal Itself to you.
It appears as the darkness behind closed eyes.
It's appearing as the sound and feel of your heart beating.
It's appearing as the hands holding that phone, reading these words.
The presence of your breath is the presence of God.
And the presence of God is the presence of everything.
You are this presence.
Aware of the shoulders relaxing.
Aware of the face smiling,
Aware of the body swaying.   
Self Aware. 
 
I Love you,

Today's Quotes: 

"You don't have to be concerned about demonstrating anything after tonight. You do not have to take thought, or give yourself a treatment for supply.  From now on, your treatment is: "I and the Father are one, and all that the Father hath is mine."
-Joel Goldsmith
 
"God dwells in you, as you, and you don't have to 'do' anything to be God-realized or Self realized, it is already your true and natural state.  Just drop all seeking, turn your attention inward, and sacrifice your mind to the One Self radiating in the Heart of your very being.  For this to be your own presently lived experience, Self-Inquiry is the one direct and immediate way."
-Sri Ramana Maharshi

“God cannot be explained, He cannot be argued about, He cannot be theorized, nor can He be discussed and understood. God can only be lived.  Therefore, the GOAL is to realize the Reality and attain the “I am God” state in human form.”
-Meher Baba, God Speaks 

"God is everywhere and does everything. God is within us and knows everything. God is without us and sees everything. God is beyond us and IS everything.
God alone IS."
-Meher Baba

Repeat: I do enough.  I have enough. I am enough.

Smile. :)
Shoulders down and relaxed.

This 'I' IS enough.
This 'I' is everything, including you.
Including me.
It's not 'we', but One.*
And this One is Love. 

I am You,

Our only practice is keeping Loving-Silence, the presence of God, in the foreground of our experience. 
Hearing This first.
Seeing This first.
Noticing This first.
Being This first,
then being human,
then being a mom, sister, friend, a husband.
Being Love first, 
because It makes you a better mom, sister, friend or husband.

Silence is not hiding from you.
You can't find It.
You can't earn It.
you don't have to understand It.
You just have to STOP,
and listen to It...
listen for It...
just like you're listening now...
just like you're relaxing your shoulders now...
just like you're smiling now :)
 
Don't talk to God today.
Just listen. 
Feel It (the Silence). 
Hear It (the Silence).
Trust It (the Silence).
Then, watch It :)

I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"Any attempt to find peace is throwing  a stone into a calm lake.  Peace is already here. You just disturb it by running outside. When you don't make any attempt there is no mind, but when you try to make any attempt, there rises the mind which is going to disturb you."
-Papaji

"Silence is not a thing to find-- It is a place inside me.
I can go there and visit whenever and wherever I want."
-'The Boy Who Searched for Silence' by Andrew Newman

"Silence is something that comes from your heart, not from outside. Silence doesn't mean not talking and not doing things; it means that you are not disturbed inside.  If you're truly silent, then no natter what situation you find yourself in you can enjoy the silence."
-Thich Nhat Hanh

Stress happens when you forget God is you.

But we're not forgetting anymore.
We are forever remembering.
From this Holy Instant forward,
we know that-
'God is here,
and God is me,
and God is being everyone and everything.'

Only Love is here.  and I Love you, I AM you,

Today's Quote:   

"The true beginning of prayer is warmth of the heart, which scorches (compulsions and disorders), fills the heart with the joy and delight of unshakable love and strengthens it with sure conviction." (St. Gregory of Sinai) This state is so deeply blissful and satisfying that the Christian tantric masters say it is one and the same as heaven, a heaven in the heart. "
-Dr. James Hughes Reho, 'Tantric Jesus'

The gravest error man can make is 'man on earth and God in heaven. Me here, God there.' In our lifetime we have all made that error and we perpetuated it in many ways.  Every moment of fear, every doubt, every lack, every limitation comes from 'me here, God there'... never in the same place."
-Herb Fitch 'The Mystical I' , talk 1

"Shut your eyes and see." - James Joyce

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 Quote:    

"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."
-Amma

Affirm:
"This is my moment of permanent change.
I'm choosing Love
I'm choosing who I came here to be." 

You came here to feel Go(o)d,
to remember God,
to remind the world, by example, that God is real., that God is here, that God is Love.
You came here to be Lpve.
And when you're identified as Love,
you've written a new chapter for that life,
a chapter that can only be written Now.

Smile. Everything is new. 

I Love you,
Nik

... you say to yourself as you face another day.  Think of everything, from your thoughts to challenging people, to the day's events and tasks like a bucking, mechanical bull turned to the 'expert af' setting,   Your work is to stay 'on'. To keep your balance. To not forget God, or as Hafiz calls It, the Friend.  No matter how wild the ride gets today, you feel the Friend's hand on your shoulder. You feel the Friend's kiss. 

How would you feel right now if the Friend leaned in and kissed you? Made It's Presence known. You'd be smiling. You'd be glowing. You wouldn't be worrying, or complaining, or distracted. You'd be full here. Fully now. Fully alive. Fully thankful. Fully ready for the rodeo.

Let's go!

I Love you!
