The Holy Name is the Supreme Thought Apr 20, 2023

Show notes

You just hear the Name,
and you feel the Love,
and you do the work,
and you watch the changes,
and you give thanks NOW,
'because you've never been blessed
on the level that God is about to bless you.'*
Prepare. Yourself.
"Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it."
-John 14:13-14 ESV
"My Holy Name is the supreme thought."
-Sri Krishna

"You're stepping into a season where things change for the better! You're about to receive and experience unprecedented favor, miracles, and breakthroughs in every area of your life. You've never been blessed on the level that God is about to bless you. Prepare yourself!"
-@shawn.mckenzie via IG

"The point is not to find the answers, but to lose the questions."
-@contemplativereflections via IG
"Examine everything
in life and say
"This is nothing"
and what remains is LOVE, and that is Everything."
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
"By becoming silent, through silence. By allowing my mind to empty itself of all thoughts, and as I keep on watching my mind in action, without responding, I notice something very interesting happening to me. I notice that I feel happier. I feel more peaceful and I feel more powerful."
-Robert Adams
"Krishna's holy name is the light, which dissipates all darkness of negativism in life."
-Unknown

"You are a never-ending river that is full of experience, surprises & strength. If you can recall the times in which you felt like all was crumbling down with ease & compare those times to where you are now; a feeling of pride should overcome you at this very moment. You exuded strength & persistency even when you thought you didn't. There is a new understanding of "the beauty of self" present. You are less afraid of what tomorrow might bring. You are excited for the fresh air of potential that a new day brings. A feeling inside of you seemingly kept you on a path that you needed to go through in order to get to where you are today. The love in your heart is expanding & so is everything around you."

"Don't consider chanting the name to be a mere practice. The Name itself is God."
-Muktananda
"Ram's form left this world, Krishna's form left this world, but the name stays. By reciting his name, everything is achieved." Shaking his head, he reiterated, "Everything is achieved."
-Maharajji
"Chanting is the means of attaining everything. Through chanting, you are purified on the inside. Through chanting, love arises. If love arises, it means that you have attained God, because God's true nature is love. You sing His name so that love will arise. No good deed can equal chanting. Tulsidas said that by chanting the Name of God everything becomes pure and auspicious."
-Muktananda
"From the fruits of his mouth a man fills his stomach,
And from the fruits of his lips he will fill himself to the full.
Life and death are in the hand of a tongue,
And those who rule over it will eat the
fruits thereof."
-Proverbs 18: 20-21

CHALLENGE RULES
Each day (beginning 4/26):
1. Wake up an hour earlier to chant (think of it like your actual job that will pay you actual dollars) at least 12 rounds on your mala/prayer beads while hearing the words clearly. Hear the Names of God, even though your mind will be split and doing/thinking about other things. Keep bringing your attention back to the sound of the Name. That's all. Keep coming back to the Sound on your tongue and silence in your head.
2. Chant your last 4 rounds in the evening before bed.
Throughout the day, allow your attention to be directed toward the mantra which will still be running in the background-- let It hangout in the foreground as you run errands, eat, drive, shower, etc. When you're home doing it formally, you can chant it just barely audibly, or loudly if you choose, but while out, you can keep it going silently within, or just allow your lips to move slightly with no sound.
And that's it! We're starting with a week so you can 'try it on', but if you keep it up for at least 6 months, you'll drastically change your entire life for the better!

First you feel GoOD, then you live GoOD. #GMfaves Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

There's a place inside you that IS Silence.
That place is also Still.
That place is also God.
The 'I Am'.
The Principle that shows up as answered prayer before you even have the thought to pray.
Hearing the Silence now,
sensing the Stillness now,
feeling the Love now,
you'll be living the Miracles, always.
I Love you,
Nik

The Only Presence is God Apr 18, 2023

Show notes

Breathe. Relax. Smile.
You're in the Presence of God.
In fact,
the only Presence is God.
That silent sense of here-ness,
now-ness,
me-ness
is Him-ness,
but you're claiming It.
Your mind is saying this is 'me',
but It's Love,
and It's everywhere.
It's all that is,
appearing as all that isn't,
wordlessly assuring you-
I Am (is) always giving you everything right Now,
you just have a limited capacity to receive.
But you're opening your Heart,
your mind is still,
and even when it's not,
I'm still here,
as this monastery without walls,
Loving you.
Love,
Love

Today's Quotes:
"Aditya Hridayam Punyam Sarv Shatru Bena Shanam"
-Ramayana (via Ram Dass)
"From whomsoever you receive Love, just know that it is from the Divine. If you get sunlight through the window, know that the light is coming from the sun. It is not the light of the window."
-Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
"Stop!
Where are you running?
Everything you seek is inside:
God, happiness, soul.
You might miss it all if you keep searching outside."
-hidaya mandire (Sanskrit) the temple of the heart via Sacinandana Swami
"When you let the light in it has a way of making everything new."
-@wildflowerpages
Monasteries are silent so that the monks may -within. Contemplatives do not create silence, for silence is already given to us it is our birthright as children of a loving God. To enter mystical silence involves not doing something, but doing less- less attachment to the chatter within, the endless commentary spun by the thinking mind.Between and beneath all our thoughts, our daydreams, our interior imagination, rests vast, open, limitless silence. It's always there. We simply need to learn to notice the silence, and in noticing it, to touch it. To touch that silence is to enter the presence of God.
-Carl Mccolman, The Little Book of Christian Mysticism
'The Only Presence Is God'
-Joel goldsmith
Rumi was once asked,
"Isn't it strange that you talk so much about silence?"
He answered, "The radiant one inside me has never said a word.'

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways," declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
-Isaiah 55:8-9 New International Version
"Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old. 19 Behold, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it? Indeed, I will make a way in the wilderness and streams in the desert. The beasts of the field will honor Me, the jackals and the owls, because I provide water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to My chosen people...."
-Isaiah 43:18
"Prepare yourself. I'm about to take you to another level in your life."

Today's Quotes:
"Actually, you can. You can follow your heart. You can alter your path. You can break the mold. You can take the leap. You can free yourself from your fears. You can refuse to settle for less than you deserve. You can live a life aligned with your purpose and passions. You can do the thing you're not sure you can do. You can take the first step. You can create your future. You can have exactly what you've been dreaming about. You are strong enough. You are brave enough. You have what it takes."
-Zanna Keithley
"I think God might be a little prejudiced.
For once He asked me to join Him on a walk
through this world, and we gazed into every heart on this earth,
and I noticed He lingered a bit longer
before any face that was weeping,
and before any eyes that were laughing.
And sometimes when we passed
a soul in worship
God too would kneel down.
I have come to learn: God adores His creation."
-St. Francis of Assisi via Daniel Ladinsky's 'Love Poems From God'
"Our hands imbibe like roots,
so I place them on what is beautiful in this world.
And I fold them in prayer, and they draw from the heavens light."

This is the Secret to Your Peace Apr 17, 2023

Show notes

You're the Key,
when you're silent like this,
when you're feeling like this.
When you stop talking long enough to feel Me,
you cross over.
Into what I promised you before you were born,
into My Mercy,
My Grace.
Stay here.
'Don't move,
don't move your mind'.*
And see.
"For you are about to cross the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and you shall possess it and live in it."

Today's Quotes:
*"Don't move, don't move, don't move your mind.
That is all.
Keeping QUIET is the Highest Tapas, the Greatest Yoga,
and the most beautiful Devotion.
This is BEING."
-Sri Papaji
"What emotion do you feel when you're not thinking? This is the secret to your peace."
-@itsjosephnguyen

"Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication."
-Ephesians 6:18
Let your eyes look straight ahead; fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths for your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil."
Proverbs 4:25-27
"Let me be still and listen to the truth.
If you will lay aside the ego's voice, however loudly it may seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts that give you nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open mind, that has not told you what salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in stillness, and completely certain in Its messages.
Listen, and hear your Father speak to you through His appointed Voice, which silences the thunder of the meaningless, and shows the way to peace to those who cannot see. Be still today and listen to the truth. Be not deceived by voices of the dead, which tell you they have found the source of life and offer it to you for your belief. Attend them not, but listen to the truth.
... Ask and expect an answer. Your request is one whose answer has been waiting long to be received by you. lt will begin the ministry for which you came, and which will free the world from thinking giving is a way to lose. And so the world becomes ready to understand and to receive."
-A Course in Miracles
"Along with silence, there must go a sense of the Presence of God. This means begging the Divine Light to illumine our hearts to see them not as we think we are, or as others think we are, but as we really are in the sight of God."
- Archbishop Fulton Sheen (Simple Truths)
"It's impossible to lose your footing when you're on your knees."

The More you Practice THIS, The More Your Life Changes #GMweekends Apr 16, 2023

Show notes

In the Adi Lila, Krishna said, "cleanse and decorate your body because you consider it Mine."
Not yours.
I consider that 'Love is here, and only Love is here',
and where Nikki seems to be here, that's the illusion.
And it's only an illusion because one day, Nikki won't be here.
But 'I' still will be,
because 'I' can't go anywhere.
'I' didn't come here, so 'I' can't leave here.
'I Am' what is known as 'Here'.
Hereness is Me.
That's what you have to consider.
That's what you have to practice.
Everything has to remind you of That.
Everything has to be your mirror.
Everything has to be God.
There's no room for anything else.
No room for imperfections.
Today you're going to look out and see imperfections.
Your thoughts are going to inform you of many.
And your work is to stay woke enough to hear every report of an imperfection,
to see every seeming imperfection,
and to hear Go(o)d where it appears to be.
To feel Go(o)d where it appears to be.
It's that simple.
You see the imperfection and you know God.
You feel THIS (Love) that you're feeling right now, while you're looking at it,
and then what you're looking at changes.
Even if you can't detect it in that moment,
it has changed.
Your gaze is healing this world.
Because your gaze is silent.
Because your gaze is steady.
Because your gaze is God's.
I Love you,
Nik

You do not heal 'from' trauma. You find healing 'in' the trauma. #GMweekends Apr 15, 2023

Show notes

When you find and hold Love
before,
during,
and after
the Cross you've been given to bear,
you find that not only are you healed but that you can heal.
That your Presence Itself is healing.
Because It is everything.
And It is perfect.

Nik

Today's Quotes:
"You do not heal 'from' trauma.
You simply come to know yourself
as Life Itself.
And you turn towards the wounded place.
And you flush it with attention,
which is love.
And maybe the wound will always be with you.
Maybe you will always walk with the hurt.
But now, you hold it. It doesn't hold you.
You are the container, not the contained.
It doesn't control you any longer, the wound.
Because it is drenched in awareness now.
Drenched in You.
Loved by You.
Even celebrated by You.
You do not heal 'from' trauma.
You find healing 'in' the trauma.
You find yourself at trauma's sacred core.
The One who is always present.
The One who can bear
even the most intense feeling states.
And survive.
The Indestructible One.
The Infinite One.
The Powerful One.
You."
- Jeff Foster
"To love is human
To feel pain is human
But to feel love despite the pain is pure angel."
-Rumi
"A boy came one time and asked, “Maharajji, did Jesus really get angry?” As soon as Maharajji heard the word “Jesus,” tears came to his eyes. He was sitting up when the question was asked, and he leaned over on his elbow and tapped his heart three times with tears coming down from his eyes. There was total silence for a moment. Maharajji had brought the reality of Christ into everyone’s consciousness, and he said, “Christ never got angry. When he was crucified he felt only love. Christ was never attached to anything; he even gave away his own body.” And at that point everyone was crying—we had gone through the complete Passion of Christ. And all of a sudden he sat up and said, “The mind can travel a million miles in the blink of an eye—Buddha said that.”

I Shall Not Be Moved ❤️ Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

You don't have to outthink the appearances.
Our mantras,
your affirmations,
you're not 'outthinking',
you're pointing to,
relaxing into,
dissolving into,
what's beyond the appearance,
what's peaking around the appearance,
of your boss,
or your partner you're at odds with,
of your child, that's throwing a tantrum,
of that thought that's scaring you,
telling you about your future,
convincing you to brace yourself for what's coming.
See it through the filter of Christhood-
'that appears to be there but only the Christ is there,
only this love is (t)here.
I have set the Lord always before me,
between me and the world,
and I shall not be moved.'
"I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved."
-Psalms 16:8, KJV

"The story is told of a child sitting on a rock in the woods, meriting the alphabet over and over again. The adult who came along asked, "What are you doing?"

"Let go of the ways you thought life would unfold; the holding of plans or dreams or expectations -
Let it all go.
Save your strength to swim with the tide. The choice to fight what is here before you now will only result in struggle, fear, and desperate attempts to flee from the very energy you long for. Let go.
Let it all go and flow with the grace that washes through your days whether you received it gently or with all your quills raised to defend against invaders. Take this on faith: the mind may never find the explanations that it seeks, but you will move forward nonetheless.
Let go, and the wave's crest will carry you to unknown shores, beyond your wildest dreams or destinations. Let it all go and find the place of rest and peace, and certain transformation."
