Latest Episodes:

Love comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant, and is still. #GMfaves May 25, 2023

Show notes

This Holy Silence is God saying;
"There is no problem...
that mind that is so heavy? It isn't even there,
because I'm there.
I'm here.
Hear Me.
Listen to Me."
And in that listening your shoulders come down,
your breath deepens,
lengthens,
your stomach goes soft,
your jaw relaxes,
you become aware of the weight of your phone in your hand,
and even though that face may not be smiling just yet,
your Heart Is.
And that's the 'upleveling'.
I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:
"The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still."
-ACIM
"Become so still you can hear the blood flowing through your veins."
-Mira
"Now when an emotional upset starts, it may start out of a thought process, but then it starts to involve all of the body — the adrenaline and all kinds of chemical reactions. Then often, one of the ways out of it is to work with the body. For example, running or movement. Taking a walk. Doing things which start to release the energy, the kind of chemical buildup. Because you get that kind of nervous energy when you are emotionally upset. Then there is meditation–quieting down and allowing yourself to see how lost you’ve gotten. I mean on the deeper devotional path, there is the offering of the emotion to God. Saying, “Here, You take it. I offer it to You.” There is appreciating your humanity. “Yea, here I am. I’m human. I just lost it again. Ah so!” There’s the Ah so — Right? “Okay. Once more. Boy, am I hung up.” These are all spiritual techniques. See, it’s the upleveling. It’s the ability to see it without denying it. Not saying, “I’m not really upset.” “I am upset. Far out. Here we are again.” It’s like talking with God and saying “Oh, look at how deliciously human I am.” Not to milk it. Not to keep feeding it, but not to push it away. That’s the quickest way through. To acknowledge it, allow it, and then use body energy to keep working out the chemical stuff that’s built up and the tension in the body that’s been built up. And then get on with it and just keep letting go, letting go, letting go. Sometimes music does it. There are a lot of techniques that do it."
-Ram Dass
“God turns you from one feeling to another and teaches by means of opposites so that you will have two wings to fly, not one”
-Rumi
"Gain this consciousness of God’s presence and you have the whole secret of success in every walk of life.
...
It is our conscious union with God which enables us to live without taking thought and makes possible a life of complete abundance – by Grace."
-Goldsmith, Joel S., The Infinite Way (Kindle Locations 1081-1089). Dancing Unicorn Books. Kindle Edition

The Real Name of God Revealed May 25, 2023

Show notes

"Come, that I may teach you about secrets no person has ever seen. For there exists a great and boundless realm, whose extent no generation of angels has seen, in which there is a great Invisible Spirit, which no eye of an angel has ever seen, nor thought of the heart has ever comprehended, and it was never really called by any Name."
-Gnostic Gospel According to Judas

The Feeling, 'I Am here', is closer to Its Name than any name you can pronounce, recite, or chant with your mouth. But we chant a name, we take a mantra to keep us focused on the Feeling.
"Silence thy thoughts and fix thy whole attention on thy Master yet whom thou doest not see, but whom thou feelest."- Voice of the Silence
I only speak to Pause.
You're only here to Love.
Stop forgetting.
I Love you,
Nik

Enter Into the Unknowing #GMfaves May 24, 2023

Show notes

That which sees the waves of unknowing and the waves of knowing, the waves of doubt, and the waves of clarity, is beyond both.
That, you are.
Like kneeling over a disturbed lake,
trying to see your reflection through the waves,
you can see something,
you can see a distortion,
but as the waves calm down,
as the lake goes still again,
there you are.
When the mind is still,
like it is right now,
more aware of silence than anything else,
there you are
(t)here, God is.
I love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:
"When you feel pulled into two different directions,
surrender into the not knowing.
It's okay to not know what direction to go in
when you feel this conflict.
It's your heart teling you to release control,
to make space and allow spirit to lead you through."
-@JessicaDelmar_ via IG
"I entered into unknowing and remained there, knowing nothing.
This place transcends all thought. I had no idea where I was, but when I found myself there (without knowing where there was) I suddenly understood sublime things, ineffable things."
-St John of the Cross
"This is what you are to do: lift your heart up to the Lord, with a gentle stirring of love desiring him for his own sake and not for his gifts. Center all your attention and desire on him and let this be the sole concern of your mind and heart. Do all in your power to forget everything else, keeping your thoughts and desires free from involvement with any of God's creatures or their affairs whether in general or particular. Perhaps this will seem like an irresponsible attitude, but I tell you, let them all be; pay no attention to them.
...
And so diligently persevere until you feel the joy in it. For in the beginning it is usual to feel nothing but a kind of darkness about your mind, or as it were, a cloud of unknowing. You will seem to know nothing and to feel nothing except a naked intent toward God in the depths of your being. Try as you might, this darkness and this cloud will remain between you and your God. You will feel frustrated, for your mind will be unable to grasp him, and your heart will not relish the delight of his love. But learn to be at home in this darkness. Return to it as often as you can, letting your spirit cry out to him who you love. For if, in this life, you hope to feel and see God as he is in himself it must be within this darkness and this cloud. But if you strive to fix your love on him forgetting all else, which is the work of contemplation I have urged you to begin, I am confident that God in his goodness will bring you to a deep experience of himself."

The Messenger is the Message May 24, 2023

Show notes

The last time you checked a voicemail,
were you talking?
Or were you listening?
That same silent hearing...
That's how we pray.
This is how we live.
God is our only message.
Everything else is Nothing.
I Love you,

"Normalize silence.
Train without music. Eat without using a phone. Sit in a room with your thoughts, and nothing else. Magic happens when you give it space to exist."
-@monkwithquotes
"Mystical prayer is nothing like orthodox prayer. In mysticism, there is no outside power, person, or agency to pray to that will bring spiritual revelation to you. Prayer, then, is not petitioning for salvation, nor is it seeking some blessing from an external power. It is the receptive attitude of listening to the Divine within your own being. Prayer is finding that state of consciousness where fear and desire fade, and you come into a profound stillness and peace. It is the atmosphere of peace spoken of in the Bible. It is the "still small voice" of Truth that comes without words and thoughts, revealing the nature of Spirit.
Meditation is the path to "answered prayer," that consciousness wherein the nature of God is revealed. Meditation is not an end in, and of, itself. It is the means by which you bring yourself into a prayerful attitude. The main purpose of meditation is to move you out of the realm of words and thoughts, for which there are many techniques."

Guess What Happens When You Stop Waiting? May 23, 2023

Show notes

The 'waiting'.
Are you filling this gap,
or FEELING It?
Right behind that filler-thought 'but nothing is happening,'
is the Feeling, the Love that Is.
The one that is waiting is not you.
The one that is growing impatient is not you.
The one that thinks every possibility is closed is not you.
The one that keeps finding and losing Faith is not you.
You're not waiting.
You're Loving.
And Love changes everything.
I Love you,
Nik

Clean Your Heart and God Will Move In #GMfaves May 22, 2023

Show notes

Watch your thoughts and watch yourself watching the thoughts.
Watch your mantra, and watch yourself watching the mantra.
Your mantra cleans up the inside,
and because in the Kingdom there is no inside or outside,
it cleans up what appears to be the outside for you, too.
It cleans up your relationships,
it cleans up your career,
it cleans up how you relate to your children,
it cleans up how you relate to your Self.
But it all begins with how you relate to your thoughts in this moment.
Assume responsibility for your practice, for your life,
until you realize that the responsibility is God's.
And that you do what you can, until Grace kicks in.
Until the Holy Spirit flows in,
and the blocks are cleared,
and the path is open,
and your success is established.
I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:
“Christ may make His home in your hearts”
-Ephesians 3:17
"If you clear the cobwebs of material sense from the darkest corners of your mind, you will be preparing a place for the inflow of the Holy Spirit. As that Divine Presence then establishes Itself as the Primal Force in your soul and consciousness, It will go before you to lighten all burdens of the human condition that have been restricting your progress on the path to mystical illumination.
So, take every opportunity to retire often to the inner sanctum of your being, where this cleansing process can occur and then, allow this hallowed Presence to work Its magic in your ongoing life unfoldment."
-Don Mardak
"Watch your thoughts and watch yourself watching the thoughts. The state of freedom from all thoughts will happen suddenly and by the Bliss of It, you shall recognize It."
-Nisargadatta Maharaj
"Stuck with another day, how should we pass it?
If anything worked for you before--
I'd give that
preference."
-Mira via Daniel Ladinsky's, 'Love Poems from God'
"A house is made of brick and stone, but a Home is made of Love alone."

Listen.
Did you feel that Shift?

That Elevation?

Today's Quotes:

"Stress makes you believe that everything has to happen now.
Faith reassures you that everything will happen in God's timing."
-@amazinggracecoffee
"At the start of the day, thank God for what He is about to do.
At the end of the day, trust God for what He did."
-@angelittleblog via IG
"Let go of your mind and then be mindful.
Close your ears and listen!"

"Feel your prayers, feel your mantra and you will feel God. Stay immersed in the Bliss of the Self."
-Amma
"Pray until your situation changes.
Miracles happen every day, so never stop believing.
God can change things very quickly in your life."
-@amazinggracecoffee via IG
"Since we are the living Soul, we stand behind the mind, and if there is a time when we try but cannot meditate, we can gently address our mental state from this altitude of "I and my Father are one."
We can say, "My Peace give I unto you, my mind.
Receive God's grace. My Peace give unto you, my mind."
We do this just as we would reassure a little puppy dog, "Peace, peace, lie down, rest, nothing will harm, you be at peace." then the mind settles down: Now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation, now are we children of God and the Kingdom of God is within Us.
We need not fight; we need not struggle, but just be at peace.
Finally, we see that like the little puppy, the mind finally gets the message, becomes quiet and then there is that stillness.
When this occurs, we know we have exercised our God-given dominion over our thoughts and our mentality, and our Soul is at rest."
-Virginia Stephenson, June 2013 "Infinite Being"
"Dear God,
I trust you today.
I trust you tomorrow.
I trust vou with my past.
I trust you with my future.
I trust you."
-@Hertrueworth via IG
"Faith is believing what God says even if everything in your life is trying to convince you otherwise."

This is Your Mind On God #GMweekend May 21, 2023

Show notes

This is your life on Love.
Where every thorn becomes a rose,
and every thought becomes Go(o)d.
You think about God all day the way you used to think about your problems all day.
You feel GoOD all day no matter what comes, by intending, "I'm feeling Go(o)d anyway".
And you smile.
And the world smiles.
Because God is.
I Love you,

Your Silence Opens the Door May 19, 2023

Show notes

Go to Him without a request,
without a demand,
without yourself.
Your silence opens the Door.
It opens (t)His Love.
And then It opens that mouth,
and words of healing come.
It opens your eyes,
so you can see what’s really here,
the Joy that He’s hiding behind every seeming thing.
And it opens out a way for Him to bless through.
As you bless,
you are blessed.
Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in Me,
will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do."
Tell Him you believe.
And then look and feel-- the Door is open.
Go out and do the Father’s Work,
be about His Business today,
and He’ll take care of yours.
I Love you,
Nik

Your door will always open and welcome you."
