Today's Quotes:
"If you surrender totally to God, He will make sure that you don't lack anything."
-Amma via @Ramdasbatchelder via IG
“When you are free of your identity and your person, nothing more needs to be learned. It's like another power, a great presence, flowing through this body and it doesn't seem strange. The less there is of you, the more you are. What a paradox! You without you are the real You. You without your person are the face of God.
Your life doesn't get more complex, more sophisticated, more learned. You are not becoming a great scholar. It is so simple, there is a presence, wisdom, love, unlimited. A peace, unbreakable, alive, without end. Not a person. And yet you feel it inside, 'I don't do anything, I simply am.'”
-Mooji

The God Who Stays May 27, 2022

Show notes

Simply thinking, 'the Presence goes before me’, is not enough.
You have to listen for that Presence,
feel for It.
In the feeling of It, It has already 'gone before you to make the crooked places straight',
It's healing what's behind you,
and It's where and what you are presently, performing miracles.
When you stay with Him.
He stays with you.
In you.
As you.
Consciously.
I Love you,
Nik

Today's Quotes:
“God is compassion. He is waiting at the door of every heart. He is an uninvited guest everywhere, because whether you call Him or not, He is there. Whether you are a believer or a nonbeliever, He is within you uninvited. Behind every form, behind everything, God is hiding. He beautifies things and makes them what they are. He is the hidden formula of life. But He won’t reveal Himself to you. You won’t feel Him unless you call Him. Prayer is the invitation. You must invoke Him through prayer and meditation. Chanting, singing and repeating the mantra are invitations, asking God to reveal Himself.”
-Amma
"The Presence does go before you, and It “makes the crooked places straight”—if you have the conscious awareness of the Presence. There are persons all over the world declaring, “The Presence goes before me,” and It does not do a single thing for them. No, no, the Presence does not go before you just because you declare some words, nor is God consciously present with you just because you declare It.

God is an experience. God must be experienced, and we experience God through our meditation. I am not saying meditation is the only way to have the experience. There are people on earth who have never meditated who have a conscious awareness of the presence of God all the time. But those who have not had the experience of the presence of God have not lived, and if they have not experienced the presence of God, it is because they have not specifically known the truth and then gone to the source where God is to be found.

Do you understand now what I mean when I point out there must be discipline and a declaration or statement of truth, a realization of truth, and yet, in the same breath, I say that when you get to the point of prayer or treatment, you do not need words or thoughts? Let this be clear to you. Do not hesitate about it, because it is very important."

-Joel S. Goldsmith: The Only Freedom. Chapter Six; The Discipline of Knowing The Truth; Practice Is Essential; Kindle: location pp 99
"We've been together for a while now
We're growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there's no doubt
I will stay with you as each morning brings the sunrise
And the flowers bloom in springtime
On my love you can rely
And I'll stay with you

Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around
And when the dark clouds arise
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you."
-John Legend, Stay With You
"The God Who Stays"
-Matthew West

Love comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant, and is still. May 26, 2022

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."

Enter Into the Unknowing May 25, 2022

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."

Find Go(o)d in the Space Between May 24, 2022

Show notes

God isn't revealed in the words,
you feel Him in the s p a c e between them.
Then you grab hold of that wordless feeling, the 'I Am",
and you keep feeling It throughout the words,
throughout all the noise of the world,
feeling the Kingdom while experiencing the world.
That's inner freedom.
The only freedom.
And then It appears to become evident as your outer freedom.
I Love you,
Nik

When you talk to me, I listen to the space between the words,
to you, the words are real,

The space is Consciousness,
while the words are just a mark on Consciousness."

Clean Your Heart and God Will Move In May 23, 2022

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."

This is Your Mind On God May 22, 2022

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 Go(o)d 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,
Nik

-Mooji
"It is an insult to your Self to be born, live, and die without knowing the answer to the mystery of why you were sent here as a human being in the first place. To forget God is to miss the whole point of existence. Learn to feel God, and to enjoy Him."
-Yogananda

"All objective experience- thoughts, images, feelings, sensations and perceptions- appears and disappears, but knowing or being aware remains present throughout all changing experience, just as a screen remains present throughout all movies."

You Don't Have to Carry Everything You've Been Through May 21, 2022

How do you put down imaginary baggage?
You just know there isn't any.
And your shoulders come down,
and you sigh a breath of relief.
You sigh your way into a deeper relaxation.
Into a deeper trust.

You Are Closer To Your Victory Than You Are To Where You Came From May 20, 2022

Show notes

The moment you step onto God's escalator, going up,
like at the airport,
you loosen your grip on your baggage,
you relax a bit,
you can rest.
Even though at times it feels like you're taking two steps forward and one step back,
doubting,
believing,
doubting,
believing,
you're still rising.
You're still going up.
Everything is happening, the good and the bad, while you're continuing the inevitable ascent,
back to the Home you never left.
I Love you,
Nik

"Not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit."

The Creator is Hidden in the Creation May 19, 2022

Show notes

As you learn to let go of thinking even as the thinking is happening,
shifting the attention out of the mind,
and down into the silence of the Heart,
the looking becomes Loving.
And in that Loving vision,
everything is perfect.
That's God's vision,
the original vision for your life.
