He gave this example to help me understand, If you were told there is a treasure of four hundred thousand dollars at a depth of twenty feet, how long would you spend daily trying to dig it up?* Then it was clear to me, 'I would work all day and all night and would not rest until I had reached that treasure; I answered. "Similarly," he continued, "and this is just tour hundred thousand dollars of worldly treasure, But inside us, at the third eye center, there is a limitless wonderful treasure and for that we are to devote all our time. This treasure never decreases. One can even take it with one after leaving the body. It is not a worldly kind of wealth. If you take one piece from a worldly treasure, then it will always be one piece less. But the godly treasure is such that the more you use it for yourself and others, the more it will increase." -Good Stories, July 17,1977 (Thakar Singh) "You will attain what you want only if you seek for it where it is. If you want happiness, seek for it in the Self, in God, the fountain source of the highest bliss, not in sensual obiects." -Mahavatar Babaji Support the show

A voice that’s coming from the ego is trying to feel safe and know that it’s loved. A voice that is coming from the Soul already feels safe and already knows that it’s Love(d)." - Cory Muscara “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” John 14:26 May the morning bring me word of your unfailing Love. For I have put my trust in you. Show me the way thay I should go, for to you I entrust my life. Teach me to do you will for you are my God. May your good spirit lead me on level ground." -Psalm 143:8 "Remember not the former things Nor consider the things of old Behold I am doing a new thing And now it springs forth. Do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness And rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:18-19

To get to the GoOD part of your life, you have to die to this part. You have to not react to this part, not desire or want in this part. You have to be Baba, now. You have to be Christ, now. You have to be Mother, now. You aren't becoming. You aren't believing. You're be-Loving.

Nor does one put it in a hidden place. Rather, one puts it on a lampstand, so that all who come and go will see its light."- Jesus (The Gospel of Thomas) "God spoke the Word, and this light appeared. I appeared not of my own or another's volition, but I was sent forth. By the Father as a living witness. That life is good, for God is good." - Virginia Stephenson "Whatever you can become is not what you are." - @thehamsterwheelisnotmotorized Ram Dass podcast I listened to (mentioned in the episdoe).

When you pray, notice that you're often directing that prayer outside of you. Direct it inward this time. Talk to that Love, talk to that Silence. And then retire from talking. And just listen. Just receive. Let yourself receive. You used to have such a hard time with that, but not anymore. Now you know you are worthy. You've always been. But you can feel It now. Even when the mind tries to play its tricks, even when that anxiety lies to you. Even when that fatigue tries to overwhelm you, tries to tell you to lay back down. To not get up and pray, to not get up and chant or meditate, to not practice. You're not fooled anymore. You're not the one you used to be anymore. You can hear Me saying, "You have Me. Give me your Heart. Give Me Space, give Me Stillness, and everything else will be added unto you."

We need silence, just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us." - Thich Nhat Hanh "You have no choice, only the illusion of it." -Nisargadatta Maharaj "Just look into all the pleasures that you get from the world. They all come with a tax. You have to pay a tax for them.. and this tax is sorrow." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Spirituality is a simple process: a matter of putting your guard down in the presence of God; and, we are always in God's presence! - Isha Das "Prayer is to understand and feel that the only being in us is God's being, and to abide as that!" - Rupert Spira

"I am alive", "I am scared", "I am in need", "I am stuck"... That's what you think this Presence is saying. That's what you've been told It's saying. But really It's saying, "you are not". "Your fears are not." "Your desires are not." "Your illnesses, your concerns are not." I Am. That's Me you're claiming, and putting all those limitations on. Stop that. See that you're already where you need to be. Where you need to be is depending on Me. Dissolving in Me. This is your 40 days and nights. And I can hear you asking, when does it end? When you know it's only Me here. I Love You I Am You nik To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at [email protected]!

Be Still that is God."- Ramana Maharshi "When approaching God, one has to give everything, all one possesses. But people say: 'How am I to give up my pride, my anger, my self-importance, how can I bear insult without a murmur?' When you give everything, you get everything." -Anandamayi Ma "The very moment God sees us fully convinced of our nothingness, He reaches out His hand to us." -St. Therese of Lisieux "He knows what is best and when and how to do it. Leave everything entirely to Him. His is the burden: you have no longer any cares. All your cares are His. Such is surrender. This is bhakti." - Ramana Maharashi "A Realized Soul looks upon his body in the same way that a coolie does regarding his load. He will look forward to putting down the load at the destination." - Ramana Maharshi

Original airdate- Nov 2022 God consciousness is always acting, never reacting. It's always recalibrating, restoring you to this new version of you. This new version of you doesn't have the old desires, the old wants. This new version of you is content, is fulfilled, is full. If you already had the relationship, if you already had the house, if you already had that number in your bank account, You wouldn't be affirming it right now. You wouldn't be thinking about it right now. You wouldn't be needing it right now. You'd be silent right now. That's the sound of answered prayer. That's how you sound when you don't want anything, when you don't need anything. That's how you sound when you are one with God. Listen. That's how you sound when you know who you are. That's how you sound when you know God is. This is what a smile sounds like. Affirm to yourself- My life changes now. I am at the beginning of a new journey. I'm sitting up taller. I'm feeling love. I'm being loved. I am on the expressway, smiling unswervingly through it all, on my way to it all, remembering that I am it all.

At that moment, what sort of face did you carry? Make that experience and expression the baseline of your life. You should not come below that high that you already know. You can only exist above that benchmark. Make the high point of your life the base for the future! The tools for transformation are there. You are at the right time in history. This is a great time for blossoming into your fullest. When I am here, you should not aspire for the mundane. Your goal should be nothing less than the Ultimate." -Sadhguru Before outer conditions can change, your reaction to them must stop, for it is your reaction that perpetuates them by giving truth to the lie. Refuse to do something about nothing. Reacting to thoughts about the material world is like a hypnotized stage subject swinging at an imaginary opponent. The secret to non-reaction is in remembering that you are already infinite God-consciousness. We are to let thoughts pass out of us and thus uncondition our mind. As they are passing out, don't pull them back by thinking about them. The only reaction you should have is to omnipresence, omniscience, and omnipotence; that reaction being awe and gratitude that you are one with all that is. God-consciousness is always acting, never reacting." -Joel Goldsmith "Fear says 'what if' Faith says 'even if'" -@prayerteam via IG "WHENEVER HE LOOKS AT YOU God sees nothing in us that He has not given, Everything is empty until He places what He wishes into it. The soul is like an uninhabited world that comes to life only when God lays His head against us. The delight a child can know tossing a ball into the air, my Lord confessed He experiences whenever He looks at you. God sees nothing in us that He has not given." -St. Thomas Aquinas, Love Poems From God by Daniel Ladinsky “Smiling can be a deliberate, intentioned act. When it is that, it becomes an act of creation, and a powerful tool. Be quick to smile, and quick to share your smile with others. You will light up your heart and light up the room.” -Neale Donald Walsch “When you are in readiness, you are in wakefulness. A smile can take you there. A simple smile. Just stop everything for one moment, and smile. At nothing. Just because it feels good. Just because your heart knows a secret. And because your soul knows what the secret is. Smile at that.

Original airdate: 4/23/2023 You read about Me. You share about Me. Sometimes you even believe in Me, but you still don't trust Me. What you call faith is often just distraction, from the appearances, with other appearances. True Faith is when you face the problem, the appearance, and all you see is My Face, all you hear is My Voice, all you feel is My Promise. That's the difference between yesterday and today- LOVE, sustained. "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His Love endures forever." -Psalm 136:1 ******** Today's Practice: Instead of Where's Waldo, keep asking, 'where's Jesus'? Where's the Christ?

Draw my heart, O Holy Spirit, That I love but what is holy. Strengthen me, O Holy Spirit, To defend all that is holy. Guard me, then, O Holy Spirit, That I always may be holy." -St. Augustine "When the Lord God, the Holy Spirit, visits us [he says] and comes to us in the fuliness of his ineffable goodness, then we have to stop praying and refrain from prayer itself. The praying soul speaks and offers up words, but at the descent of the Holy Spirit it must be utterly silent so that it can clearly hear and truly understand the words of eternal life which the Spirit condescends to bring to it." -St Seraphim of Sarov "The will of God will never take you where the grace of God won't sustain you." -Unknown "We live in a Christ-soaked universe that is pulling us into the abundant, resurrection life of Jesus. We can either let go and trust the process or we can resist and suffer. Either way, death is the inevitable entryway into resurrection life." -Brandy Anderson "Just because something hasn't manifested, doesn't mean it can't. You are not miles away from what you want, and you are not years, or hours, or months, or weeks away from what you want. You're only vibrations away from what you want." - Esther Hicks "If you can recognize and accept your pain without running away from it, you will discover that although pain is there, joy can also be there at the same time." - Thich Nhat Hanh, No Mud, No Lotus "God desires to give us everything we just have to be empty enough to receive it." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

Grammy-nominated Kirtan singer and GoOD Friend, Krishna Das (KD) joins Nikki to talk about the first mantra he was given by Ram Dass (that saved him from a car accident), his experiences meeting Indian saints like Anandamayi Ma, his personal spiritual practice (chanting versus meditating), one of his favorite Christian Saints, St. Seraphim of Sarov, his time in India with Neem Karoli Baba aka Maharajji, and his time now, still living in the boundless presence that is his Guru. They cover how to manage doubt, how to grow in Faith, and KD shares the mantra he turns to when maya/illusion gets very loud. Finally, KD leads a the beautiful 'Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram' chant. Watch on Youtube! राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम राम "The words of these chants are called the divine names and they come from a place that's deeper than our hearts and our thoughts, deeper than the mind. And so as we sing them they turn us towards ourselves, into ourselves. They bring us in, and as we offer ourselves into the experience, the experience changes us. These chants have no meaning other than the experience that we have by doing them. They come from the Hindu tradition, but it's not about being a Hindu, or believing anything in advance. It's just about doing it, and experiencing. Nothing to join, you just sit down and sing. The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy." - Krishna Das The 'Sri Ram' Mantra is known as the victory mantra. 'One gets success and victory in all his ventures who chants this mantra. It is a miracle mantra which can make the impossible tasks possible.' Sri - Honorific title to show respect and reverence Ram - the Light of your Soul Jai - Victory or Triumph Victory to the Light within me.

Hanuman and Christ are one. They are the same." - Miracle of Love "Standing or sitting, eating or lying down, if one chants 'Ram, Ram' constantly, one will be able to gain His Grace, there is no doubt about it. A person, who is anxious to gain God's Grace, can experiment on this and test its truth. He, who constantly chants 'Ram, Ram', will become Ram." -Sri Sitaramdas Omkarath Aditya Hridiyam Mantra Meditation with Ram Dass - "All evil vanishes from life for him who keeps the Sun in his heart."

Look around you and smile. You can't get there, where you're so desperately trying to get, without being here, now. This is a crucial part of your journey. This moment, this listening, this Silence that's speaking to you, that's praying in you, peace, be still. I didn't give you that desire to not fulfill it. I gave it to you to inspire you. To make you move differently. To make you think differently. To stop your thinking sometimes, so you can hear Me say, take that opportunity. you're ready. You don't think you are, but I Am. Start that project already. It looks impossible. You don't think you have the resources, but I do. Let Me do the thinking for Us. My thinking is Stillness. It's Clarity. It's a Certainty. It's Love. And where there is Love, there is no need for anything else. That's why you were one way before, and why you are this way now.* Because of your encounter with Me. As this silence, as this Love. This voice is just noise to bring your attention to the Harmony that's waiting on you. You don't have to create Harmony in your life. You just have to listen for It. It already is. And then, because of you, It becomes. It appears to heal. It appears to fix. It appears to pay. It appears to feed. it appears to clothe. This Harmony that you listen for. This Harmony that you are.

I Am the Core of you, the Joy that was poured into you at the beginning. When you recognize Me in you, the Crucifixion is over. The struggle, the suffering is over. And we can begin. We can rise.

"It's finished." is my prayer. And all of my prayers are answered instantly. So what do you have left to worry about? What do you have left to think about? To doubt about? Stop running. You're home.

Clark "Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops." - James 5:17-18 There's something about this passage I've never noticed before... Elijah prayed it wouldn't rain. And it didn't for three and a half years. Then he prayed it would. And it did. But something else happened... crops grew. If crops grew when the rain came, that implies there were seeds in the ground. This story suggests that farmers were still sowing seeds in the dust. They kept planting, believing the rains would eventually come. I don't know about you but prayer can sometimes feel like this for me. Like I'm sowing seeds in the desert. But I've learned that often when it feels like nothing is happening physically, there is plenty that's happening spiritually. Even if I can't see it yet. Personally, I want to have seeds already in the ground when the rain comes. My prayer is that, even when our prayers don't seem to be making a visible difference, we'd keep sowing anyway, trusting the One who brings the rain. Keep sowing, friend. - @iansimkins via IG (both pinned posts) "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” - John 13:35

He was huge. There was no place that He was not." - Krishna Das "I was first led to say; 'I have never seen a thing without seeing God behind it, then to say which is closer to the truth: I have never seen a thing without seeing God with it, then finally to say 'I have never seen a thing without seeing God before it.

Even though the Name may sound like, 'Hare Krishna', or 'Hare Rama', or 'Yahweh', or 'Abba', It's basically saying: 'There's nothing to fear here.' 'This is illusion.' 'This is maya.' 'Only God is here.' 'Only Love is here.' 'You're safe.' 'I'm with you.' 'I'm protecting you.' 'I'm healing you.' 'I'm growing you.' 'I'm prospering you.' 'I'm blessing you.' All of that, is implied, as you chant, as you catch this Beat, and feel this Rhythm. It's all in the Name. It's all in the Name.

Your heart hears and, no longer frantic, begins to dance." - Rumi "Where the pictures on the screen of the mind no longer disturb. That is enlightenment." -Anu Mullick Koul "Out of the four problems of material existence, namely the food problem, the shelter problem, the fear problem and the mating problem, the fear problem gives us more trouble than the others. Yet all fear is vanished as soon as there is the sound of the Lord, represented by His holy name. We can take advantage of these sounds and be free from all threatening problems of material existence." -Srila Prabhupada "The transcendental Presence must become a living experience, permeating our consciousness, flowing through us to the extent that the fingers tingle with It, and the toes. It is a reality, even though the human mind cannot understand It, the human eyes cannot see It, and the human ears cannot hear It. It is so real that when It happens we know It, and there are no questions." - Joel Goldsmith "And if hardship approaches, you then say: You are what I will use to blossom" -Hashim Y. A. " The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength. The awareness that there is nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your mind, though not necessarily in a place you recognize as yet, you have remembered God, and let His strength take the place of your weakness. The instant you are willing to do this there is indeed nothing to fear." -A Course in Miracles "Once a dog came to the ashram to beg for food, Anandamayi Ma placed some food close to wooden tigers that were so realistically painted that they appear as real tigers. The dog obviously was in a quandary. He was eager to eat the food but fear of the tigers kept him from touching it. Anandamayi Ma there upon remarked that the dog found himself in the position of most human beings who are held captive by their imaginary fears. Fear is unreal and it appears only in imagination; abide in Self to stay fearless." -Sri Anandamavi Ma Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.

The cave still remains at the back of the temple and there is a strong feeling of continuity of spirit there. Once Maharajji, Siddhi Ma, and Jivanti Ma went at night to the site that was later to become the temple at Kainchi. While the Ma’s sat by the roadside, Maharajji crossed over the river and didn’t come back for four or five hours. When he did, he said, “I hear the sound here. We shall have a temple.”” — Miracle of Love: Stories about Neem Karoli Baba by Ram Dass "Thinking of anything other than God is what creates sorrow." -Anandamayi Ma 'Everything that is meant for you, you will have." - @lawofattractionuniversal via IG "There's nothing to see here, there's nothing to see/hear." -Jarett Anderson

"I'm here because I followed the path of practice that my Guru laid out for me." - Nina Rao Nina Rao learned traditional chants (bhajans) from her grandfather in a village in south India when she was nine years old. The chants quietly stayed with her until she rediscovered chanting with Krishna Das in New York in 1996. For many years Nina has been Krishna Das’ business manager and accompanies him onstage. In 2007, she recorded the track ‘Nina Chalisa’ on Krishna Das’ CD Flow of Grace. She has since recorded the albums Antarayaami—Knower of All Hearts and Anubhav. In this chat she shares about her Guru, Sri Siddhi Ma, her powerful and anchoring experiences on the pathless path, the real meaning of the Ram mantra, and the importance of service and constant God remembrance. She leads us in to Presence by chanting Sri Ram Jai Ram and the Hanuman Chalisa.

But, for some reason, a part of you still worries about what lies ahead. Even with all the proof of how well things turn out for you. It's time to end this pattern of thinking, and to start giving your life the benefit of every doubt. Things have always worked out, even when they seemed as if they couldn't. You deserve the peace of what the present moment is offering you.

Otherwise, if we do not move in that way but act according to our whimsical ideas, our lives will be spoiled by confusion and will end in despair. Actually, because people at the present moment are not following the instructions of the Vedas, they are all confused." -Srila Prabhupada : Srimad-Bhagavatam 5.1.14, Purport "To remain without thought in the waking state is the greatest worship."- Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj I have never said a prayer in my whole life. When I say "Shiva," for me it's everything. When I utter "Shiva," whatever I wish to know is here for me. If I sit here long enough, just with one word I will know the whole existence. It is because of this that I walk through life with such ease - just Shiva. You must know the strength of that. Don't get lost in your logical mind. This is not that kind of nonsense. This doesn't belong to that genre. This is a way of going beyond where you are. This is a way of stepping beyond the boundaries that human beings are supposed to stay within." -Sadhguru "PRAY WITHOUT CEASING" (1 Thess. 5:17) Prayer changes as we rise in con-sciousness. When we live in a material sense of existence, our prayers have words and thoughts because our faith is in externals. As we grow in grace and feel our oneness with our Source, the words and thoughts are less necessary for the altitude of consciousness is higher. We then learn the meaning of how to "pray without ceasing." - Virginia Stephenson, Agreement An Attitude of Prayer "When you inhale, say "I." When you exhale, say "Am. A subtle change of energy takes place within the self, and you will become more peaceful, calm, and soon you will lose all identification with your body and mind. You will remain as "I Am." - Robert Adams

When you feel that 'fight or flight' kick in, use that to trigger your recognition- 'I Am', which means 'He's Here', which means, 'I'm GoOD'.

You can feel the Light, as you, in you, on you. It's your turn.

Being beyond thought or effort they cannot be objectified or subjectified. They are so dear, so near, behind the retina and before the breath.

I know you're trying to keep it all together for quiet a while now. Beloved, there's a safe space for you here. I see that heart. The heart that wants to stay strong for those she deeply love. God sees that heart. He's saying, "My child, come rest in Me." "Help me to have faith beyond my own understanding. Remind me that my weaknesses are not my defeats. Remind me that Your steadfast love goes beyond my goals and dreams. Remind me of how faichful You are." In your hopelessness, let God's voice be the loudest. He's here. He's in your situation. He's breathing hope to your hopeless heart.: - Joenna Sandiego via IG "While you may be tired, and while you may want things to be easier, know the work set before you is valuable and worthwhile. Know the struggle is very real, as you remember hard work is part of the process. Through this process, weakness will be revealed and eventually become strengthened. Remember the process is not punishment, though it may feel uncomfortable and you may not like it or enjoy it. It is part of what is necessary to prepare you. The process is your preparation, not your punishment." - Neil Vermillion "If you are in agreement with this, then you will never fear a belief in material causa-tion. Your freedom is assured when you realize the name of your heavenly Father is "I" and "I am come in my Father's name . . .Are you in agreement that there is only one Ego and that this One is not human but divine, not finite but in-finite? Then you never need fear persons or conditions, for God is the Father of us all and greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." When the seventy returned to Jesus after he had sent them out to heal the sick in "My name," which he revealed as the I Am, he said:... rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Nothing can defile the great I Am, for it is hallowed. It is holy, it is whole. Are you in agreement with this? If you are in agreement that there is only One, I Am, and that It is the hallowed name, then healing is the revealing of true identity. Healing takes place by impersonalizing and nothingizing the human concept of a personal ego, that can be sick, sinning and dying; and by realizing the oneness and all-ness of the eternal I Am. By inheritance you have your Father's name I Am and by living in agreement with the hallowed One you are under the grace of divine Sonship." - Virgina Stephenson "You have no enemies; only Yourself, in varying degrees of ignorance." - @Ram_bodhi

Amma: Grace is the factor that brings the right result at the right time in the right proportion to your actions. Dedication is the most essential aspect. The more dedicated you are, the more open you remain. The more open you are the more love you experience. The more love you have the more grace you experience." -Amma "You're asking for a sign and you are looking for an external sign. God has already given vou that confirmation in your spirit. Pay altention to the nudges, the peace, and the ideas coming up in your mind." - @TheRealSweetspot "The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the beginning of knowledge. This has misled many people, because the truth is that fear is entirely evil and is indeed the only enemy we have. You can heal any condition if you can get rid of the fear attaching to it. Trouble or sickness is nothing but subconscious fear outpictured in our surroundings. It is true at all times that "we have nothing to fear but fear." How then do we account for the texts quoted? The answer is that in the Bible the fear of God means reverence for God, not fear in the usual sense of the word. Reverence for God is the beginning of wisdom. How do we show reverence for God? By seeing God everywhere, refusing to recognize anything unlike Him, and by living the Christ life. Confidence is worship. You worship whatever you trust. Are you trusting more in fear or in God? What are you worshiping? That is the test." - Emmet Fox, Around the Year "You are no thing, presently conceiving of yourself as something.

It comes up from behind, rather than in front where you experience your mind and emotions. When you are no longer absorbed in your melodrama but, instead, sit comfortably deep inside the seat of awareness, you will start to feel this flow of energy coming up from deep within. This flow has been called Shakti. This flow has been called Spirit. This is what you begin to experience if you hang out with the Self instead of hanging out with inner disturbances. You don't have to get rid of loneliness; you just cease to be involved with it. It's just another thing in the universe, like cars, grass, and the stars. It's none of your business. Just let things go. That's what the Self does. Awareness does not fight; awareness releases. Awareness is simply aware while everything in the universe parades before it. If you sit within the Self, you will experience the strength of your inner being even when your heart feels weak. This is the essence of the path. This is the essence of a spiritual life. Once you learn that it's okay to feel inner disturbances, and that they can no longer disturb your seat of consciousness, you will be free. You will begin to be sustained by the inner energy flow that comes from behind you. When you have tasted the ecstasy of the inner flow, you can walk in this world and the world will never touch you. That's how you become a free being-you transcend." - Michael Singer, The Untethered Soul "Wherever there is Shree Krishna, the Lord of all Yog, and wherever there is Arjun, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be unending opulence, victory, prosperity, and righteousness." - BG 18.78

This will happen the moment you desire one thing. Your challenge has been that you desire more than one thing, and so you are not able to see that all desires are the same. If you choose in darkness, then shadows will enfold everything you perceive. But if you choose in the Light, then they will shine as you shine, and be blessed by your Holy Desire. Passion and desire stand together in your mind and cannot be separated. We will now open to the One Desire that will lead you to the goal you seek - the Peace of God. Nothing else in this world can satisfy you now. You have come too far." - James Twyman, Jeshua Code "I have called you to remember the reason you chose to be born. You have chosen to answer that call, for the song that was planted in your soul is now ringing in your ears." - James Twyman, Jeshua Code "You have been taught to chant the word YES to open the channels of your soul, preparing your heart for the Great Work that lies before us. It doesn't matter what language you use. It is the feeling you generate that creates the opening. There is a sound in Hebrew that essentially means "It is so." This is a more powerful interpretation of the word YES. The sound is Yesh. Say it a few times out loud. Make the sound long and draw it out for at least a few seconds. "V-E-S- H." Chant it over and over, as often as you can. Call to the Christ in You, and it will awaken. Will you believe me when I tell you that the rest will happen on its own? What do you wish to see in the world? Peace? Harmony? Adopt the vision that was given before time began..."- James Twyman, Jeshua Code

As you sit there everything stops, absolutely stops. Your mind is so still and quiet that you can hear dust particles floating in the air. Suddenly you are falling, and falling, and falling. There is no ground below or sky overhead, just a crushing thunderous silence, racing faster and faster. You suddenly realize that it’s going to kill you, rip you limb from limb and explode your lungs into dust. There’s no way out, no possible means of survival. And so you do the only thing there is to do. Surrender. All goes blank and empty, more empty than limitless space. Prior to life and death, you blink out of (or is it into?) existence. Timelessness is all there is, all there ever was, or could be. Eternity reigns supreme, and is radiantly present in every particle of being. Something unborn and undying stirs to life and opens its eyes—your eyes. You or It is still sitting on the park bench. It is smiling, radiant, and content. A little girl on roller skates passes by.

In every seeming moment, you have one choice. Fear or love. And fear will feel closer. It will feel like the obvious choice. It will be the easiest choice. But we're here to do the hard thing. We're here to open our hearts even when they feel heavy, even when we feel defeated, even when you feel tired, and it feels like doors are closing.* In actuality, entire mansions have been prepared. You just have to stop running from what you prayed for.** Every time you take a thought of 'when' of 'how', that's running. Come back. To the only Place where prayers are answered. To the only Place that you are truly Called. And don't strain. The Silence is the Call. It is the Message. It is the Voice. "Those in whom the eternal Word speaks are delivered from uncertainty.

When in actuality, entire rooms are being built just for you." - @sourcemessages via IG "The maha-mantra is a prayer to come closer to Krsna, so we always want to be in that mood when chanting. We want to communicate from the heart, not from the lips. Chanting which is only from the lips is compared to shooting a blank bullet. A blank bullet is not actually a bullet, but it makes an explosion like a bullet. Similarly, we can be chanting blank mantras, mantras without substance that only sound like the maha-mantra. And we cannot defeat maya by shooting blank mantras." - Mahatma Das "As mentioned before, Srila Bhaktisid-dhanta Sarasvati Thakura said that we don't chant with our lips, we chant with our heart. The exact words are, "The holy name is not lip deep; it's heart deep." Although people may say loving things, what's expressed from their heart is what actually communicates their love." - Mahatma Das

Today, science proclaims that water has its own memory and intelligence. Someday, when science goes far enough, they will find that there is nothing in the Cosmos that is not alive.

Every time you get upset, everytime you feel lost, everytime you ask Me a question, My Answer starts when your thoughts stop. My Blessings start, when you chant. Chant now-- one of My Names, or 'Thank you', or the Sound of Silence, or the feeling of Love, or 'I choose Love, Here.' "You come to bring Light where there seems to be darkness, to bring Love where fear seems to be. Remember the purpose of your Soul. Then such a time of darkness will seem less like an oppressive weight, but rather an opportunity. Where can I see Love here? When, without even knowing the meaning of it, you say with every inhalation, "I choose love here. I choose love," you will see the light change and the darkness dispel. Your mind may say, "I don't understand what happened. All I did was sit here for fifteen minutes choosing love." Well, mind, that's all that is required. The lifeline, the golden rope, is to know that there is such a thing as love, and in that moment you are empowered to choose it. Just that. Even if your heart is breaking and you feel on the edge of collapse, say, "I choose love." By this mantra you silence the lifelong mantra that would choose fear." - Emmanuel Book II "The Spirit breathes where it wants to, and you hear its voive, but do not know where it comes from and where it goes; this is how it is with everyone who is born by the Spirit." - John 3:8 I Love You I Am You nik p.s.

It is the consciousness of God in us that makes us free. Where the consciousness of the presence of God is not, there is bondage; there is sin, false appetite, disease, lack, limitation, and man's inhumanity to man. But where the consciousness of God is present-not where God is present-God is omnipresence. Where the consciousness of God is present, there is liberty, freedom, wholeness, completeness. So carry the consciousness of God with you. Carry it up to heaven if you mount there, because you will not find God in heaven unless you carry Him there. Carry the consciousness of God to hell if your pathway leads you there. Carry the consciousness of the presence of God into disease, into death, into hospitals, into mental institutions.

Support the show *************************************** Today's Quotes: "The real work is to feel the silence in everything that we do." - Dr. Bruce Davis "The love in the silence has specific plans for us. With our hearts open, the voice of the stillness inside us speaks clearly to trust this love, our true guide and employer. People who are tested in their work are being challenged in their belief in how present the silence is and how much it provides and cares for them. The struggle for survival is moved by the fear that we are all alone and the world is against us. The love in the quiet reminds us that we live in God’s midst, which is full of purpose and meaning and caring. It is through living in the monastery without walls that our worries about survival give way to trust in the silence. The sacred moments melt our fears, giving way to a practical life full of the joyous essence. We are each called to a work that gives fulfillment. Fulfilling work separate from a life full of silence is not possible. We are called to work for the silence, in the silence, with the silence, and feel the love of the silence working through us." -Dr. Bruce Davis, Monastery Without Walls: Daily Life in the Silence The deeper the self realization of a man, the more he influences the whole universe by his subtle spiritual vibrations, and the less he himself is affected by the phenomenal flux.

Otherwise either your wish will never materialize, or it will materialize in a distorted way." -@Shunyasouls via IG "RELAX! Do not believe that you can either bring about the flow of God or prevent its flow. It is already full and complete within your being, awaiting your recognition of your fullness in Christ. Though your sins be scarlet, you are white as snow. Only do not go back; do not sin again; do not go back to the belief of a sense of separation from God. Do not go back to seeking your good from outside because after you have learned that the kingdom of God is within you and that you must let it flow up from the within to the without, if you then again go seeking it without, you create a deeper sense of separation than you ever had before. Do not do it! Do not go back! Do not go back! "Go, and sin no more." Do not go back to being hurt because somebody is not doing for you what you think he should: forgiving you, co-operating with you, or recognizing your virtues. Do not go back to that! Loose him! Forgive him and let him go! You are alone with your God. You are alone in your God-being. There are times when you are faced with the appearance of discord, inharmony, pain, lack, or limitation; and the temptation is to make a mental effort to indulge in vigorous thought-taking, affirmations, and denials in order to achieve peace and harmony. Now reverse that, and whenever there is an appearance of discord, relax. Make no mental effort. Remember that your good does not come to you by might or by power, but by the very gentle spirit. It does not come to you by your striving, by your efforts, by your thought-taking: it comes to you from the depths of your being, in stillness, in quietness, and in confidence. You are not to try to achieve a healing. You are to be still and let the still small voice take over. You are to let the Spirit descend upon you. Rest. Rest, right now, in the midst of the disease, lack, discord, or inharmony that is disturbing you. Rest; relax! "My grace is sufficient for thee. I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."

Joel S. Goldsmith "The power of God flows out from you, and It enfolds everyone who comes within reach of your consciousness. No power flows to you: no good power and no bad power. All power is given unto you from God; it is within you; and it flows out from you, but you must open out a way for it to escape. You are the one who first must acknowledge: The kingdom of God is within me, and the kingdom of God is the all-power, the only power, the all-mighty power. Besides It there are no other powers: no material and no mental powers, for the only real power is the power of Spirit, for the power of Soul, the invisible power that is within me and is forever flowing from me to embrace this world. The letter of truth is made up of statements, quotations, and words, none of which, alone, is power. The only power is God itself. It is very much as if the shades on the windows were drawn, and we sat all afternoon talking about sunlight: what it is, what it will do, and how to avail ourselves of it. Then, after several hours, someone very skeptically remarked, "But, it's still dark here. After a...ll this talking about light, it is still dark," Yes, it is still dark, and dark it will remain until we roll up the shades. So it is that we can talk about truth; we can read truth; we can study truth; we can hear about truth and never once feel the light, never once feel the presence and power of God, unless and until we take the final step of opening consciousness to the very presence of God. When truth comes to our conscious awareness from within our own being, we have gone from the letter to the Spirit. That is the most important phase of the activity of truth in consciousness." -Joel Goldsmith: Practicing the Presence "Our todays are determining our tomorrows." -Joel Goldsmith "All things happen in the inner world long before they happen outside. Anything happening in the external world happened long ago in the internal world. You should know that it happened within you long before it happened outside you." - Swami Rama Path of Fire And Light, Vol 2 [pg 14]

To practice forgiveness is to no longer identify with these negative emotions that appear to create division and cause Self hatred.. To practice forgiveness is to no longer believe in the concept of a separate self and detach from the emotional effects of this belief held in the body. To practice forgiveness is to end the illusion of separation and to dissolve into your True Self."-Pat Nolan "Questioner: In what shape does He come? Maharaj: According to your expectations. If you happen to be unlucky and some saintly soul gives you a mantra for good luck and you repeat it WITH FAITH AND DEVOTION, your bad luck is bound to turn. Steady faith is stronger than destiny. Destiny is the result of causes, mostly accidental, and is therefore loosely woven. Confidence and good hope will overcome it easily. Questioner: When a mantra is chanted, what exactly happens? Maharai: The sound of mantra creates the shape which wil embody the Self. The Self can embody any shape - and operate through it. After all, the Self is expressing itself in action - and a mantra is primarily energy in action. It acts on you, it acts on your surroundings. Questioner: The mantra is traditional. Must it be so? Maharaj: Since times immemorial a link was created between certain words and corresponding energies and reinforced by numberless repetitions. It is just like a road to walk on. It is an easv wav - only faith is needed. You trust the road to take you to your destination." - Nisargadatta Maharaj "We can not pray in love and live in hate and still think we are worshipping God." - AW Towser

to return Home to the Name to the Silence to our Love We received mandatory evacuation orders yesterday and had to be off the island by 7pm eastern. I picked the kids up from school, and we quickly threw stuff in stuff and loaded it up, before driving smooth across the state through green pastures and towards calmer waters (and my sister, Syl). I write this from a bed in a cute airbnb in Lake Worth, Florida, the same one I booked last year for the same reason. It's becoming something like a tradition. Gia gets to spend her 13th birthday NOT in school (school is closed for the next couple of days), and Max is playing by the pool. Mom is sipping coffee. And I'm recording, writing, editing, Loving... You. All signs point Home. They point Here. No matter where Here appears to be, you can relax... more. Nik p.s. How do you 'treat' a hurricane spiritually? Many would say, 'it isn't there', or, 'it's an illusion'. But you have to take it a step further. The ocean isn't either, or earth, or you, or me. Only Love is here. And all of this is done in Silence, as Silence. To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at [email protected]!

I am very old in years. My teacher would not be dwelling within the world. At any moment, in any eventuality that it is needed, the appropriate reply will be given, whenever I ask. It would be very, very difficult for everyone to obtain such a teacher as this. One must have the benevolence of God to receive this. As for my speaking, I cannot speak. The one who wishes to speak must be the one who speaks. If it is wished to speak of God, then it is God who must speak. If it is wished to speak of the prophets, it is the prophets themselves who must speak. If it is Gabriel (A.S.) who must be spoken of, then it is Gabriel (A.S.), himself, who must speak. And if they do speak, we must have the wisdom to understand what they say. If Jesus (A.S.) is to be spoken of, it is Jesus (A.S.) who must speak; if it is Moses (A.S.) who is spoken of, it is Moses (A.S.) who must come and speak. Then if there is any fault in what is said, if there is any mistake, then the fault relates to them. Also if there is any gain in it, it is theirs. ...It all relates to them. It is their responsibility. If the Prophet Muhammad (Sal.) is to be spoken of, it is he, himself, who must speak. Whether it be Adam, Noah, David, or Abraham, peace be upon them all, they themselves must come and speak. Each one, whoever it be, must come and speak of himself. The words come like sound passing through a microphone. I have nothing to do with it; I am nothing. This is the way each of them speaks and tells his story. I do not want the praise or the blame. We must complete the duty that we have come to perform. This is the way. If you do it like this, it is correct. "God will not give you a message.

I need never fear; I need never be afraid. This Presence a with me. This I is within me. Without this realized Presence, you are the man of earth who is not under the law of God, and you do not receive the things of God. It is only when you come to the absolute conviction that the Spirit of God is with you and that the Spirit of God goes where you go that you are fulfilling the promise that those who have the Spirit of God are children of God, heirs of God, "joint-heirs with Christ" to all the heavenly riches. But whether or not you acknowledge or recognize It, the Spirit of God is always and ever with you, even though It is of no avail to you, because it is only through your awareness of It, your consciousness of Its presence, that It functions. The Spirit of God is within me and dwells in me. The Spirit of God goes before me to "make the crooked places straight, " to prepare mansions for me. The Spirit of God has ordained me.

I got stuck on a roller coaster this weekend. Side ways for a bit, going backwards in slow motion for a bit, stalled for nearly an hour. It gave me plenty of time to practice seeing through it all! "What I think is that a good life is one hero journey after another. Over and over again, you are called to the realm of adventure, you are called to new horizons. Each time, there is the same problem: do I dare? And then if you do dare, the dangers are there, and help also, and the fulfillment or the fiasco. There's always the possibility of a fiasco. But there's also the possibility of bliss." - Joseph Campbell Ask yourself, "what am I giving right now?" and feel the quality of the moment change. The atomstphere lightens, your heart lightens, like you're being drawn up and away from your problems, entering ino this new earth where there are no problems, just appearances of problems, of stalled roller coasters, of not enough time, not enough money, not enough attention, not enough love. Can you give Beauty for ashes in those moments? Can you give the Oil of Joy instead of mourning? Or a Garment of Praise instead of the spirit of despair? That's the challenge today and every seeming moment, whatever is presented, can you remember to chant His Name? Can you take the Name of God? Can you remember Her Love? Can you give It? can you feel It?

Support the show ************************* "The following passage comes from the Gospel of Matthew in the Holy Scriptures, and it has mystified, confused, and been misunderstood by many people over the centuries. "Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him." You have to admit that when you read the passage it appears unjust, as it seems to be saying that the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. But there's a riddle to be solved in this passage, a mystery to uncover, and when you know it a new world will have opened up for you. The answer to the mystery that has eluded so many for centuries is in one hidden word: gratitude. "Whoever has gratitude will be given more, and he or she will have an abundance. Whoever does not have gratitude, even what he or she has will be taken from him or her." By the revelation of one hidden word, a cryptic text is made crystal clear. Two thousand years have passed since those words were recorded, but they are as true today as they ever were: if you don't take the time to be grateful you will never have more, and what you do have you will lose. And the promise of the magic that will happen with gratitude is in these words: if you're grateful you will be given more, and you will have an abundance! From the Koran the promise of gratitude is equally emphatic: "And (remember) when God proclaimed: 'If you are grateful I will give you more; but if you are ungrateful verily my punishment is indeed severe.'" It doesn't matter what religion you follow, or whether you're religious or not, these words from the Holy Scriptures and the Koran apply to you and your life. They are describing a fundamental law of science and of the Universe." - Rhonda Byrnes, The Magic "If there is not enough love in your life, it is only because you are not loving enough, and that means that you are not tapping the infinite source of love within your own being. Let that love flow out: Love this world; love the sun, the moon, and the stars; love the plants and the flowers; love all the people. Let the love flow. That love which flows out from the infinite storehouse within you will be the bread of life which will come back to you." -Joel Goldsmith

Your ears are hearing me. But what is your Soul hearing? What is My Soul saying that these words can't express? You can feel what My Soul is saying because we have one Soul. Whatever Name of God you choose to chant, chant it. That's how you change your life. Chanting means changing, because chanting means witnessing. Because it throws you back into that Witness, the bodiless one, the desireless one, the. Invisible one, the Christed one, the only one, that one solver that one healer, that spoke through Jesus and said 'rise, take up thy bed and walk.' Pick up this knowledge, that there's only One God, that there's only one power. You pick up that knowledge and in that instant, you rise above the appearance of problems. Above maya. You'll See.

TRY PRAYING THIS WAY ALLEN WHITE One of our readers asked this question: If there are multiple appearances, is the intention to get clarity one at a time or all inclusive? The third chapter of my first book, God is All, opens with the story of Alice Ross. Her cheating husband left her with two sick children and a sister strung out on drugs. She's unemployed and about to lose her home. Her friends tell her, "Don't worry, just pray about it, but Alice doesn't know where to start. She thinks to herself, " have so many problems, I don't know what to pray about first." Many people seem to be in Alice's situation. There are so many problems; they don't know where to start. When they focus their prayers on one situation, the others get worse. In faith, they soldier on, but it seems like a losing battle. How do you solve this problem? How do you pray when it appears you are drowning in problems? Years ago, I was working on a challenging piece by Chopin. The fingers must move up and down the keyboard at a dizzying speed. There were many challenging sections. I thought the problems were a weak fourth finger, lack of finger independence, and a lazy thumb. I worked for weeks on these problems, but nothing improved. Frustrated, I sat down at the keyboard to examine my approach more carefully. I made a startling discovery. I had only one problem - wrist rotation. Once I corrected that, I was flying up and down the keyboard faster than a cheetah chasing a gazelle. The point of this story is that in every case where it seems like you have many problems, you have only one. When you correct the one, you resolve them all. The problem, obviously, is not wrist rotation, but it is THE BARBARIC BELIEF THAT THERE IS A PRESENCE AND POWER OTHER THAN GOD. When you think you are drowning in a sea of problems, there is only one problem - the belief that there is another presence, power, or activity other than God. Do you want to handle all of your problems with a single prayer? Pray to discern God's Presence as the entirety of your Life. Your prayer could look like this (using your own words, of course): "God let me discern your Presence in and as every area of 'my' Life." You can shorten this by praying, "God, all I want is you. Reveal Thyself." Just be mindful that you are not addressing a God outside of you. Never mind the seeming dualism in this prayer. That will be handled with the realization of God's Presence. Now you may be wondering how often to pray this prayer. The answer is simple: until God reveals Itself in a clear and unmistakable way. The first time you try this and your problems are resolved, you'll probably think, "It's like magic. I didn't even have to think about my problems and they all disappeared." From then on, you'll never have to worry about how many problems you seem to have. All that matters is a clear realization that God is All." - Allen White

These qualities that manifest spontaneously in an innocent child demonstrate the truest, unadulterated essence of humanness. We are all born with a wellspring of love and joy. These qualities are not just emotions, they are the essence of our existence. The truth of our essence cannot change, it can only be covered over and hidden from us." -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "Your Name is Everything. Hare Rãma. It should be heard, spoken, sung, thought. And yet ultimately it is unheard, unspoken, unsung, unthought. The mantra is the bridge to this unknown. -@gaieasanskrit via IG "Really, if only you have this faith in the Name, you need not struggle to secure the chance to detail to me your desires and wants. I will fulfill them even without your telling me. Have the Nam bright and clear on your tongue, in your mind; and the form symbolised by it before your eye and mental vision-nothing can harm you." -Shirdi Sai Baba "As Consciousness is Lifted into Awareness, there is nothing but Harmony. All Life is of God, Infinite Love. Go right to God and stay there." -Al Denninger

I was in Norway - don't remember which church in Norway - and then after the lecture boys and girls gathered around me and said "I like your lecture" and I say "What did you like about the lecture?" "And he said, "You said that life is bliss, and we heard in church that life is misfortune and you must suffer." "And we're afraid to go to church because we're sad to hear that life suffers, and you have to suffer." I said life is happiness. You just have to enjoy it. But I told you how to enjoy. If you are not connected to the creative intelligence, which is within you, you will suffer. I said the teaching of the church is not that you must suffer, but the teaching of the Church is that if you don't study the kingdom of heaven within you will surely suffer. (laugh) So better research the kingdom of heaven within then tell the church people that they are right and now start enjoying life. I said the doctrine is fine but you have to understand the doctrine. If you don't know the kingdom of heaven, you shall suffer. Many young boys and girls started meditation and became happy. Just a message that life is bliss and there is no need for suffering. This information is just so uplifting……. the kingdom of heaven within." -Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Audio, 1964 "I am using words just to create silent gaps. The words are secondary; the silences between those words are primary. This is simply a device to give you a glimpse of meditation. And once you know that it is possible for you, you have traveled fare in the direction of your own being." -Osho "Being "in the gap- can be disorienting + even scary. Nothing to hold on to, no sense of direction, not even a hint of what choices possibilities might lie ahead. But it was just this state of pure potential that existed before the universe was created. Relax into the no-thingness; fall into this silence between the words.. watch the gap between the outgoing and incoming breathing, and treasure each empty moment of the experience. Something sacred is about to be born. -Osho "The river that flows in you also flows in me." -Kabir
