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?
And keep seeing It shining through appearances,
as appearances,
as you.
I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:
"God, may I focus more on what I'm trying to get to, than on where I'm trying to get away from."
-@Dayal.gauranga
"Breathe in me, O Holy Spirit, That my thoughts may all be holy.
Act in me, O Holy Spirit, That my work, too, may be holy.
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

Today's Quotes:
"If negative thoughts, insecurities, doubts come into the mind, chant Om Namah Shivaya. This itself will put you on the right track."

-Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
"Sleep while awake."
-Ramana Maharshi
"No matter what your impulses dictate, let nothing sit on the throne of your heart but God. If you love this creation of God's more than Him, you will be disillusioned. God first, God in the middle, God last."
-Yogananda
"You should not be carried away by the dictation of your mind, but the mind should be carried away by your dictation."
-Srila Prabhupada
"Let there be no boundaries. When you lose all sense of self, the bonds of a thousand chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul”
- Rumi

-Rumi
"Japa is not a battle with the mind but an emotional connection with Krishna."
-Mahatma Das
"There is a silence in you.
It is always here, constant and unmovable.
It is not doing anything. Be aware of this.
It is simply here but it didn’t arrive.
You are not a person here. In the silence itself,
you are without history, name and form.
Recognise that space here now which simply is.
It underlies all activity, but it itself
does not participate in any activity.
Notice and confirm this now,
and stay in your beautiful rest."
-Mooji
"You've been seeking a drop of water when God has the ocean written for you."
-Maharajji

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.
"Just take Ram's name and all desires will be fulfilled." - Maharajji to Dada in Miracle of Love
"Q: Maharajji, what can I do to gain pure love for Ram? -- Maharajji's Answer: You will get pure love for Ram by the blessings of Christ. 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.
"Faith comes by hearing and hearing…" -Romans 10:17
Hear it Here.
Your journey is just getting good because you just got God (awareness).
I Love you,
I Am you,
nik

"Faith is looking at the impossible and knowing that your Guru will not fail you." - @neemkaroli_babaofficial_
"Where there is Love there is no need for law." - Maharaj Sawan Singh
"Through the sound, the world came into being. Through the Word, the carpet of Light was spread for His Presence." - Rumi
"Everything in your life is planned by Him, so just relax..." - @neemkarolibabaji
"I was one way, and now I'm completely different. And the thing that happened in between was Him." - The Chosen (Mary Magdalene speaking about Jesus/Yeshua)
"Your future will be nothing like your past. You won't have to do as much talking; your energy will speak for you. You won't have to do as much of the hard labor; your energy will work for you. You won't have to do as much convincing because you'll realize that the authentic truth as you know it always reveals itself. You're getting more comfortable in your skin and soul, and that growth will manifest on a number of levels. Life is getting easier. Life is getting lighter. When you envision your future, leave the difficult version in your past." -@sourcemessages
"I know that Jesus could not wish useless suffering for us, and He would not inspire me with the desires I feel, were He not willing to fulfill them." - St. Thérèse of Lisieux
"The clearer your mind gets, che more it projects a friendly universe, until one day it occurs to you that you haven't had a problem for a very long time." -Unknown
"Even the impossible becomes possible through devotion." -Sarada Devi
"This princely aspect of his nature-_its sublime beauty and transparent purity unceasingly present in him-has always been imperceptibly and silently waiting there to receive him, secretly giving meaning to his existence without his having known it. Whenever he remembers to turn his look inward, he will always find it there, ever awake, unchanging, never affected nor sullied in any manner by anything that has taken place in his life." - Edward Salim Michael
"Yes, you are."
That's My response to that energetic mantra you've got going over there.
The one that's silently saying 'I'm not there, yet',
'I'm not ready, yet',
'I'm not her, yet' (the highest version of myself),
'I'm not him, yet',
'I'm not that, yet'.
'I'm not enlightened, yet'.
Yes, you are.
Yeshua.
Yeshua.
That's your original energetic mantra.
You're feeling It again.
You're breathing It again.
It's riding the exhale down into (Y)our Heart.
Down into that Place where I Am singing,
I Am being
You.
I Love You
I Am You

"Surrender is not something that you can do.
If you do it, it is not surrender, because the doer is there.
Surrender is a great understanding that,
"I am not."" -Osho
"In a flash, in the blink of an eye, your new normal will be the reality that you once desired, that you have dreamed of, that you have imagined." - Sara Landon
"My heart is now awake, and so I am able to feel what is real. I begin by "Seeing as God Sees," and then I move to the next step of "Feeling as God Feels." God feels only love, and so I give this gift that it may be mine." - James Twyman, The Jeshua Code
"There is a song deep inside you. You are born to sing a song and you are preparing. You are moving around in the stage with your dresses, but you are forgetting to sing---holding the mike, too, but you are keeping silent. Till that time, you'll be restless---until you can sing that song which you have come on the stage to sing. Doesn't matter if vou feel a little out of tune for one minute or two. Go ahead." - Gurudev H.H SriSri Ravi Shankar
"In your silence when there are no words, no language, nobody else is present, you are getting in tune with Existence." - Osho
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.
We win.
There is power in My Name,
which is (Y)our Name.
Chant It, speak It, hear It, sing It, cry It.
Yeshua, or Jesus, or Christ, or Yahweh, or Jehovah, or Allah, or Rama, or Krishna.
It doesn't matter which Name, which language,
or which story you most relate to of (Y)ours.
When I say take My Name,
I mean take this Feeling.
Melt into Me.
Dissolve in Me.
And let Me take over today.
Let Me speak today.
You don't have to worry about what to say.
Let Me do it.
Let Me pray.
Silence is my prayer.
"Thank you, Father," is my prayer.
"It is done." "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.
Say, "I'm home."
The Christ is saying I'm Home,
in this temple,
and it's time to finish what We started.
I Love You
I Am You

"How can I know God's Will? When you begin to unravel those layers of fear that have given you a sense of safety and identity in your world, you will find that you and God are one. You will know God's will then, for it will be your own." - Emmanuel, Book 2
"Peace rushes in the moment we remember it's not on us to figure it all out." -@proverbs31ministries via IG
"When I wanted to give up,I God told me to get up!" - Livingchristian.org
"Stopping is the basic Buddhist practice of meditation. You stop running. You stop struggling. You allow yourself to rest, to heal, to calm." - Thich Nhat Hanh
"Jesus and love are synonymous. If you say love, you need not say Jesus and when you say Jesus, it means love. Whatever glimpses you may get here and there indicates that fullness, the ultimate expression of the inexpressible that life is striving to express throughout time." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
"Divine God, Beloved Guru, You have a divine destiny for me, A purpose which is mine alone. Give me the grace to attend to the burning bush in my Soul." -Isha das
"Maharajji is not further away from you at this moment than the thought you're thinking now and I f you were capable of completely stopping this thought or transcending it or being centered from the inside behind it, He and You would then be One." - Ram Dass
The Silence is always here.
It is abundant.
It becomes (y)our Abundance.
But you don't invest in It.
You don't sit with It.
You sit with your worries.
You sit with your plans.
Planning is GoOD.
But then you have to put them down,
and listen for the Key that will unlock those plans,
that will unfold the seeming future.
You can't get (t)here without This,
no matter how hard you work,
you need Grace.
You need Prayer.
You need Love.
I Love You
I Am You

"Listen. Just listen.
Hear the voice of the wind of the trees
and of your own heart and somehow, in some way, I will speak to you through that." - Emmanuel Book 1
The light inside, the love inside of us, is always present. It can't be anywhere else. God lives inside of us as who we really are. Not as "God": Some Other Thing. As who we are. Not somebody else. Not something else." - Krishna Das, Chants of a Lifetime
"If your life is made in such a way that in every step you are feeing the presence of Krishna, then that is Krishna Consciousness." -Srila Prabhupada
"If only you knew how powerful you'd become once you stop waiting for other people to confirm what you already know is true." -Michell C. 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
Right now, where you are, only God is breathing.
That Breath is how He sounds in this moment.
That is His form.
You are His form.
His hands.
His feet.
His mouth.
Feed us today.
We need your Energy.
We need that Peace you're carrying,
that Joy that only you can give.
Don't withhold It from anyone.
We all need It.
We all need You,
just as You are.
You already made it.

"God's plan for your life far exceeds the circumstances of your day." - @worthyofgrace via IG
"Maharajji had breathed me into a place of calm and peace and stillness. 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. Now I can only say, He He He."- ibn Sab'in
"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders." - Lao Tzu
"A God-ordained transition season is rarely comfortable, but what it never lacks is peace."-@worthyofgrace via IG
"Your Relief is written, Don't lose hope.
Your miracle will happen. It will all happen unexpectedly and you will wonder at how everything worked out for you, You will be amazed at how Allah answered your dua. So don't worry about your prayers, they are not going unheard. Trust Him." -@ownthoughts_24 via IG
"This inner Grace appears as love in our hearts and as food on our table. It satisfies our every need without our taking thought. It creates in us an awareness of "My Kingdom"." -Virginia Stephenson
"Sometimes you are so focused on the future that vou don't realize you're in the middle of what vou used to pray for." - @trustgodbro via IG
"I am who I am, and that is enough." - Bashar
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.
I Love you,

Today's Quotes:
"There's a morning when presence comes over your soul. You sing like a rooster in your earth-colored shape. 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

Today's Quotes:
"Don't let what you see make you forget what I said. -God"
-Unknown via IG
“The large Kainchi temple is built at a spot where Sombari Maharaj, a great saint of that area, had lived in a cave. 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."

-Jarett Anderson
