GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki: The Rosary

Today's Quotes: 

"The person who makes all cares into one care, the care for simply staying present, will be cared for by that presence which is creative Love." - Kabir Helminski 

"An instant of time, half of the instant of time, half of the half instant of time, is enough to free yourself." - Kabir 

"You do not even properly know about the present. Take care of the present, the future will take care of itself.“ - Ramana Maharshi.

Make the main thing the main thing and the other things will get sorted, naturally.  Stay focused on Love and Love will focus on and care for you... until no 'you' is left.  No relationship between you and Love.  No distinction. No separation. Just Love. 

I Love you, 
Nik

Spoiler: "Continual protection, warmth, and well-being" are the benefits of knowing Love!  The trick is shifting into the awareness of It and STAYING (t)here.  Until even the shifting is witnessed from the Love that you are.  And once you build this momentum, It builds a new life for Itself as you, with service as the foundation.

"Becoming fully human is effortless once you reach momentum—when you become aware of your Eufeeling (Love) automatically when needed. For instance, when you are first introduced to Eufeeling, even though it has been with you your whole life, it takes a little conscious direction on your part to become aware of it. This will not always be the case. In fact, in a very short time you will be aware of Eufeeling whenever you think of it. It is like putting on a coat on a chilly day. When you first put the coat on, you can feel its weight and warmth. After some time you forget about the coat and go about your business. But the coat is always with you, keeping you warm. Whenever you like, you can have the thought, Am I wearing my coat, and is it keeping me warm? Immediately your awareness effortlessly shifts to your coat and you know it to be there. Then you become aware that the coat is keeping you warm. The coat is like pure awareness, and the warmth is Eufeeling. Once your mind is accustomed to it, which could be almost immediately, it skips becoming aware of the coat and just becomes aware of the warmth—the reason you put the coat on in the first place.

Now let’s say that you are used to living in the tropics but find yourself stranded in a secluded cabin in the deep north in winter. You come back from a walk and find that the lock to your cabin is frozen, and the key will not turn. This could be dangerous, and you immediately experience a flurry of anxious thoughts about your possible demise. Despite your envious tan, the thought of becoming a human Popsicle is not at all appealing. You become quite agitated and start running around pounding on doors and windows trying to get into the safety and warmth of your cabin. Then you remember that you are not wearing a Tommy Bahama pink-flamingo-patterned shirt but an arctic-proof coat to protect you against the cold. You realize that you are actually quite warm, and your mind begins to calm down. In that calmness you remember that you have a lighter in your coat pocket. You remove the lighter and heat your key and insert it into the lock. The warm key melts the ice and the lock turns, welcoming you into the warmth of your cabin.

Okay, I know this is an absurd analogy, but it will help to make my point about momentum. Becoming aware of your coat and the warmth it provided was calming for you. Your mind settled down and was able to think more clearly. Spontaneously you remembered the lighter in your coat pocket, and the solution to your problem was at hand.

If you do not do Quantum Entrainment (Awareness aware of Itself) and are not aware of Eufeeling, it is like living in the arctic in a short-sleeved flamingo shirt all the time. Because you are underprepared, you are faced with one problem after another and live mostly in some state of agitation. You are completely at the mercy of the elements and sooner or later will end up looking like a flamingo-flavored Popsicle.

When you first start doing QE and becoming aware of Eufeeling, it is like you live in your flamingo shirt but put on your coat when you have a challenge confront you. You forget you have a coat until you have a problem. When you reach momentum, it is like you are always wearing your coat. You reap the benefits of continual protection, warmth, and well-being."

Repeat and FEEL these words:

Love is flowing through me.
Love is flowing through my body.
Love is flowing through my mind.
Love is flowing through my heart.
Love is flowing through my life.
This flow of Love is healing my life. 
It's changing my life. 
As I feel this flow now, everything is new. 
Everything is changing, 
Nothing is the same. 
Love is my life. 
Love is my life. 

Today's Quotes:

"And God said, 'Love your enemy', and I obeyed Him... and loved myself." - Khalil Gibran 

"Love, like life, flows
through the heart. 
Feel the thrill of the flow
and say nothing." - Rumi 

Today's Practice:
Say less, today.  Feel more, today.  Do what you have to do, today, but don't stop feeling the flow.  This flow is the presence of change. It's the presence of God. It's the presence of your miracle.  It's the presence and evidence of your new life. Your true life.  #RebornOfTheSpirit

Today's Quotes:

"Unless you realize and feel God's presence, or unless you actually feel the nothingness of that which is presenting itself as the appearance, the healing will not take place."
- Joel Goldsmith

Dr. Michael Beckwith's 4 Stages of Spiritual Progress (To Me, By Me, Through Me, AS Me)

1. Victim Stage (to me)
"Something is happening to me. I'm a victim. I live believing that something outside of me determines my destiny, my happiness, my success, and my well-being."

2. Manifestation Stage  (by me)
"I learn to manifest.  I use my mind, my conversation, and spiritual practices... to manifest the kind of life that I can imagine."

3. Surrender Stage (through me)
"I'm yielding. I'm surrendering.  I'm allowing, because I've come to an awareness that the order that we all depend on is none that I make.  That order already exists, and I'm yielding to it, I'm surrendering to it."

4. Oneness (AS me)
In this stage, the line of separation is dissolved, and we feel our oneness with all of life with no filter.

Bonus Quote:
"When the feeling "I am doing" is lost, nothing affects a man.  Unless one realizes the Self, the feeling "I am doing" will never vanish."
-Ramana Maharshi

Today's Practice:

Which stage are you hanging out in?  Be honest with yourself, and then practice dropping your 'self' by feeling Love until only this ocean of Love is left.  That's the 4th stage, the Go(o)d one. 

I Love you,
Nik

-Krishna Das, One Track Heart 

Bonus Quotes:
"Your true personality begins to develop when you are able, by deep intuition, to feel that you are not this solid body, but are the divine eternal current of Life and Consciousness within the body." - Yogananda

“Sustained effort ends in effortless being. What has been attained by constant practice is finally transcended. Then comes spontaneity.” ― Sri Anandamayi Ma

Excerpt from Journey with the Master by Eva Bell Werber:

"My Child, as we pause to talk together, it will often be that interruptions will come and you will for a moment feel as if you are leaving Me, your Inner Guide,  and stepping back into world consciousness.  But do not feel thus, nor allow this thought to disturb you.  Know that you cannot leave your true Self. There will always be affairs on the earth plane which will knock on your door and require your immediate attention.  Be prepared to care for these things and if necessary, answer their bidding,  Do not be impatient, for it is by this very impatience that you will step from the higher consciousness into the lower.  It is only as you allow these things to annoy and distress you that you build the bridge over which your feet will carry you away from Soul Consciousness.  If you will handle whatever interrupts you, from your Soul plane,  you will find, as we resume our lesson, that our contact has not been lost but strengthened instead." pg. 29-30

Right now, it may be hard to remember that you're Love.  But pretty soon, with some effort, and the Grace of God, you won't be able to forget It.  And It. Changes. Everything.  #TheRemix

Feeling Go(o)d is your real job, your true employment.   

“Somebody, somewhere is depending on you to do what God has called you to do."
- @25bwb 

“He who knows God knows everything.” 
– Maharajji 

“Stay quietly at one place and do your spiritual practice. Then the treasure that you have gained will find an outlet through you and communicate itself to others of its own accord.” 
– Ananadamayi Ma 

 “Once you are in touch with your awareness, you don’t have to try to accomplish anything.  You don’t even have to wish or dream, because the best possible thing that can happen to you will happen.”

Bonus Quote:

"My vocation is love. In the heart of the Church, my mother, I will be love, and then I will be all things.”
- St. Thérèse de Lisieux

Today's Practice: 
Get quiet so you can hear the call.  It sounds like silence and feels  like a Go(o)d feeling.   You answer the call by consciously, constantly listening for It, feeling  for It.  And then you watch It show up as your true work, as service to 'others', as the Go(o)d Life you deserve.

Nik

This quick but powerful meditation was inspired by Sailor Bob Adamson's book, "What's Wrong With Right Now?", and his directive to 'full stop'. 

Full Stop. 
.
.
.
Hear those words as the final thought, the final pointer before  the SILENCE that follows it. 

Everything is still... frozen... even the breath, even the mind. 

And simultaneously notice what your body feels in that instant. 

Peace. 

Love. 

Stay in the 'stop'.

Only there's no 'you'  to 'stay' in the stop. 

There's only God in the stop. 

Only Awareness .  

Only Grace. 

Only Love. 

Your new life is born of this stop, of the Love in the stop. 

I Love you,

Today's Quote:

"In his book 'Going on Being', the Buddhist psychiatrist Mark Epstein writes about the tremendous importance of recognizing this inner well-being, and he illustrates it by telling the story of the Buddha.

Following the teachings that were available to him at the time, the Buddha-to-be had been doing such intense practices that he was basically starving himself to death. His austerity was so severe that when he went to scratch himself, his skin would come off, and when he went to the bathroom, he would fall over and not be able to get up for long periods of time.

Feeling that he was close to death, he thought, I can’t do any harder practice, and yet I haven’t found what I’m looking for. "Could there be another way to enlightenment?" Just at that moment he remembered a time when he was a boy, sitting in the cool shade of a tree as his father worked nearby. At that time, quite spontaneously, with no effort, he’d entered into a meditative state of deep happiness. As the memory of this warm, pleasant state flooded him, he wondered, "Might this be the way to enlightenment?"

He investigated the nature of the happy feeling and saw that it didn’t come from outside of himself, nor did it come from the cessation of some painful experience.  He recognized that this kind of pleasure was a quality of things as they are, that this feeling of well-being was natural, and innate to our true nature."
- Krishna Das, "Chants of a Lifetime"

Today's Bonus Quote:

"The game isn’t to end up a good meditator; but to end up free.
The game isn’t to end up a good Buddhist; it’s to end up Buddha.
The game isn’t to end up a good Christian; but to end up Christ.
The game isn’t to end up loving; it’s to end up being love."
-Ram Dass

Today's Practice:

Make this  innate well-being your weekend plans.  Make It your entertainment.  Make It your "to-do ".  Make feeling It your everything, and you'll remember that since It IS everything, you need nothing. 

ACIM said, 'There is no will but God's', and God's will for you is this well-being. 

I Love you, and I'm with you in well-being, 
Nik

Today's Quotes:

"Let me not trust in my mind, let me relax in God." - Joel Goldsmith 

It is necessary to close the eyes to all appearances, judging neither good nor evil- acknowledging only that it is, and in this way, something rather like a vacuum is created within your own being, and into that place of stillness and peace Truth reveals itself as the harmony into the situation " - Joel S Goldsmith 

"But He said to them, 'I have food to eat of which you do not know.'" - John 4:32 

Today's Practice:

Stay aware of your daily bread. Your hidden manna. Your Spiritual identity.  Rest the mind, and relax in God.  Relax in Love.  Relax into the rhythm of your heart beat. Into the rhythm of your breath. Into the rhythm of God's name.  Stay in the rhythm of Love.  It's all Go(o)d here.  

I Love you, 
Nik
