When God Picks You Jan 13, 2022

Show notes

What to Expect: The Enlightenment Edition
"When the universe picks you, and you put on the magic glasses there's rules that go with them. You can never take them off... you never see things as they're supposed to be, you see things as they are."
-Dick Gregory
"When I shut my eyes, I still see it (light) shimmering and shining, softer than soft, more tender than tender, finer than fine. When the eyes are open, I see the blue rays all around. Whenever I see anyone, I see first the blue light and then the person. Whenever I see any thing, I see first the beautiful, subtle rays of Consciousness and then the thing itself. Wherever my mind happens to turn, I see the world in the midst of this shining mass of Light. The way I see things, whether large or small, demonstrates the truth of the verses of Tukaram, which I have quoted before: "My eyes have been bathed with the lotion of the blue light, and I have been granted divine vision."
-Muktananda, Play of Consciousness
"When you continually meditate on Divine Mother, you start to see her in everything. You see her in everybody, and people – their faces, bodies, colors and features – simply disappear. The first thing that comes in front of you is the form of Devi. The first layer is Devi, Goddess, Energy, Divinity, whatever name you want to give, and the second layer is light. I see everybody as a light. Then the light disappears, and the third layer that I see is the actual human body. It wasn’t like this before; it’s not that it has been like this since I was born. This experience came about after my intense sadhana in the Himalayas. And the presence of the divine energy of Mother Divine is so real in my life that I really hope by the time you finish this book, that you would walk away with enough inspiration, as well as learning, to manifest the same in your life."
-Om Swami, from The Hidden Power of Gayatri Mantra: How to Realize Your Full Potential Through Daily Practice
Remember--
WHEN God picks you, don't get so lost in your worldly work and success that you forget Him, your innermost Self. Stay aware of this felt-Love (in and AS the background), while enjoying the world (appearing as the foreground)! Be "in the world but not of it". Write to me and tell me of your enlightening experiences!
I Love you and I'm with you,

Let's Get Lifted | A Powerfully Simple Way to Meditate Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

If you lie down, Love will raise you up... you will rise in Love, in Freedom, in Victory.
Try meditating in corpse pose, today.
Try surrendering, today.
Try saying 'yes' to Loving Silence, today.
Stop trying and do, today.
Stop doing and BE, today.
There's a place inside (and out) that's already surrendering, no matter the position the body is in.
There's a place inside (and out) that's already Silent-Love, no matter the state the mind is in.
Be That, today and always.
"The silence is another way of saying to keep your mind stayed on God all the time. God is the silence and you are that. Feel the silence right now. You can feel it. It's a thing of beauty. You know when you're getting into the true silence, you begin to become happier, and happier, and happier for no reason. It makes no difference what's going on in the world. The world is in one place and you're in another place. In the deep silence you are identifying with the substratum of creation. Always remember to go into the silence. A sage is always in the silence. A sage may be talking, listening, partaking of activities, but to the sage there's only silence."
-Robert Adams
"I have never known Truth to fail, never known any 'problem' that didn't vanish, once I was wholly honest with Omnipresent Awareness. Do not just declare words, as if reciting a formula, but absolutely admit Love is pure, single, unadulterated-- thus unchallenged, unopposed Authority."
-Aiken
"To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders."
-Lao Tzu
"Whatever happens, hold onto God's feet without loosening the grip even slightly."
-Amma
“The only thing that we ever drop is a concept of body. And as we stepped out of our infant body and our youth body into maturity, so we step out of a mortal sense of body into the spiritual demonstration and realization of body. And that we can do, and do do here on this plane. It is not necessary to die or make a transition to experience it. We have experienced it here and now. The Master says, “I can lay down my life, I can pick up my life.”[3] And I will tell you that there are others who can step in or out of the mortal concept of body and life at will, here and now. And it all comes about through attaining the revelation or realization within of true being.”
-Joel Goldsmith

Every Day is 1/11 Jan 11, 2022

Show notes

"The key is to be in a state of permanent connectedness with your inner body, to feel it at all times, this will rapidly deepen and transform your life."
-Eckhart Tolle
"The moment you are in touch with your breath, the universe pours into you."
-netz.der.indra
"All your problems arise because you don't stand firm within your Self."
-Amma
Today's Practice:
Every time you look down at your phone for a sign, look within and feel for the REAL sign. When you're turned toward and feeling Love in and AS that body, you stop looking around and waiting for permission (like 1/11) to be your best self. You stop looking for signs of success and you start watching that body step into and celebrate It. You start watching this Love unfold as the Go(o)d Life.
I Love you,
Nik

Affirm: I will not react to appearances today, I will see through them. Jan 10, 2022

Show notes

My life depends on me being Love, because when I'm being Love, I can see through appearances, and when I can see through appearances, they change.
This is how you see yourself out of any situation you have outgrown. Not through resistance. When the resistance comes up, immediately see through it, too! See through every thought, through every emotion, through every person, place, and thing, to the REAL. And let the REAL manifest and define Itself.
Note: The REAL feels like the feeling of Love in and as that body. And you can sense It even when the body is discordant.
I Love you and I'm with you!

Quotes:
"The two worse feelings in the world are not having a job and having a job."
-Unknown via IG
" In wealth is the fear of poverty, in knowledge the fear of ignorance, in beauty the fear of age, in fame the fear of backbiters, in success the fear of jealousy, even in body is the fear of death. Everything in this earth is fraught with fear. He alone is fearless who has given up everything."
-Swami Vivekananda
"Do not try to control matter. Know it does not exist. You control it by knowing it does not exist."
-Herb Fitch
"Being never came into being because It is eternal. Therefore nothing in the three-dimensional world ever came into being. It came into appearing. "
-Bob Pilato
"In 2022, I resolve not to react to appearances, but to see through them."
-Gil Michaels

‘Home’ and ‘You’ Are the Same Thing Jan 09, 2022

Show notes

“Rumi says, ‘The one who brought me here must take me home.’ Who is the one who brought you here? That Grace is calling you home. Where is home, which direction is home? You and home are the same thing.”
-Mooji
"It is foolish to think that we will enter heaven without entering into ourselves."
-St. Teresa of Avila
"Having never left the house you are looking for the way home."
-Nisargadatta Maharj
"Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone's soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd."
-Rumi
"We are called into the inner room, and then out again to serve others."
-Carl McColman
Today's Practice:
Every time you find that place inside that is forever still, you are Home. You are in Heaven. You can turn any moment into heaven by, 'going into your heart cave' as Ram Dass would say. Go into your heart cave before you go into your office tomorrow. Don't leave your heart cave. Realize you ARE the heart cave, itself.
“Your homework is to stay home inside your heart.”
- Mooji
I Love you and I'm with you,

Nothing Will Interfere With God’s Plan for Your Life- "Don't Lose Sight" Jan 08, 2022

Show notes

"Just as a lamp in a windless place does not flicker, so the disciplined mind of a yogi remains steady in meditation on the Self."
-Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6:19
Self = God = Loving Awareness = What you truly are
"As the golden flame of the candle burns steadily, without flicker or wavering, so shall My Flame burn ever more in your heart. It shall burn out all dross of the mortal mind, smallness of nature, meanness of spirit, vindictiveness, jealousy. It shall burn out all carelessness of your habits, in the outer realms of your being. My Law and My Order can then function perfectly in your life. Then and then only will you be a worthy vessel for the inflow of My Spirit. Then and then only can My Spirit flow through you to other of My children. Likewise shall all disease be burned from the physical body, that nothing shall interfere with My Plan for your life. As the sigh of your spirit disturbs the flame and makes the candle drip, so the faintest wavering of your feet from the path of attainment causes a less steady burning of My Flame in your heart, and My Work goes on in imperfection. Oh, My Beloved, how necessary that you live with the eye single, to the high purpose of your calling. But you have many helpers. No soul who enters the path is left to walk alone. So go on, day by day, with the light and assurance of My Love in your face. Mighty Ones whom you see not, are by your side. And the forces of darkness shall touch you not."
-Eva Bell Werber, ‘Quiet Talks the Master’
"Dear God, help me to not lose sight of your presence when things are going well."
-Unknown
Today's Practice:
Watch Love the way you'd watch an unexpected lizard friend on the wall of your bedroom! Don't lose sight of It for nothing!
I Love you,
Nik

Hold on. Stay Strong. Trust God. Jan 07, 2022

Show notes

"Hold on. Stay Strong. Trust God."
- @Bible_verses_kj on IG
"Grace has the ability to change anything at any time."
-Ravi Shankar
Breathe and go with the flow of Grace. Even if you can't see it yet, everything is new. For now, just feel the Newness, even if you can only feel 5% of It. Trust that It's carving out a niche for you. A holy space for you to continue to grow and begin to thrive in.
Don't stop... you're (t)here. Just keep pausing and becoming still enough to notice the presence of God all around you. God is here, smile. Radiate Him.
I'm with you and practicing, too!

"By reciting His name, everything is achieved. EVERYTHING." | Mantra 101 Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

"We should always be confident that this chanting is not a vibration of this material world. It is imported from the spiritual world. It is completely spiritual."
- Narottama dasa Thakura
"Only God's name is real."
-Larry Brilliant
"It's all illusion except the name of the Lord."
-The Ramayana
"Rams' form left this world, Krishna's form left this world, but the Name stays. By reciting His Name, everything is achieved. Everything is achieved."
-Maharajji (Maharajji constantly chanted Ram all of his waking hours)
"Kalau nasty eva nasty eva na-sty eva gatir anyatha", or, "in this age, there is no other alternative, no other alternative, no other alternative than to chant the holy name of the Lord (Hare Krishna)." - Caitanya Mahaprabhu via Srila Prabhupada
"National duties, social duties, and humanitarian duties are obligatory only to those who are bereft of spiritual duties. As soon as man takes his birth on earth, he has all these obligations to the great sages that left behind vast treasure houses of knowledge to guide him through life, to forefathers, family members, the government, and so forth and so on. But as soon as one engages himself in the one single obligatory duty- the duty of spiritual perfection- then he automatically liquidates all other obligations without having to make separate efforts."
-Stephen Knapp
Books-
Polishing the Mirror by Ram Dass
The Mantram Handbook by Ekwath Easwaran

Can you change how things turn out by changing how you feel? Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

Today's Quotes:
"God
Disguised
As a myriad of things and
Playing a game
Of tag
Has kissed you and said,
"You're it---
I mean, you're Really IT!"
No
It does not matter
What you believe or feel
For something wonderful,
Major-league Wonderful
Is someday going
To
Happen. "
- Daniel Ladinsky, from 'You're It' in "The Gift, Poems by Hafiz"
"I became conscious of being (feeling) it.
I am still conscious of being it.
And I shall continue to be conscious of being it until that which I am conscious of being is perfectly expressed. "
-Neville Goddard
"By changing the way you feel you can change the way things turn out."
-Abraham Hicks
"Actually the only freedom you have is not to react to conditions and to turn within, to see the truth. Everything else is preordained. Whatever appears in your life is destined to be. It is your reaction to what appears that matters to you, what's going to happen to you next."
-Robert Adams
"The secret is to allow the world to show you what it will, and for you not to react to anything."
-Robert Adams
Today's Practice:
Every time you see something disturbing today (a headline, an email, an annoying someone), or feel some inner upset, pause and remember, 'I'm It'. You've been tagged. You've been chosen to remember that things aren't as they appear. You become the witness of the inner or outer disturbance AND witness to the Love that's also present. Feel Love in that body while the disturbance appears to be (t)here. This is the first and last step.
Witness as Love smiles that face, relaxes that body, and stirs up Peace and calm-confidence. This is what 'It' feels like. When you're feeling It, you're being It, and soon you'll be seeing the fruits of 'It' in and as the world.
You're IT,
Nik

Transform Your Life By Opening Your Heart With This Powerful Mantra Jan 04, 2022

Show notes

Let's chant together -- "Aditya Hridyam Punyam Sarv Shatru Bena Shenam"
This Sanskrit mantra is from the Ramayana and it means, "All evil vanishes from those who keep the sun in their heart." I've shared it before in passing.
In this case, 'evil' means something that distracts you from or makes you feel separate from Love. This could be anything from thoughts, or your job, to an unhealthy relationship, or bad habits, etc. And trust that whenever something falls away, something that is Go(o)d, something that is of this Love, something in alignment with all that you are, falls in its place!
While chanting (reading along with) the Sanskrit words, FEEL your intention to serve God... to be an instrument of Love. Hold your heart, or namaskar, or sway... feel that as you speak the words you are in the presence of God. Would your mind wander into the past or future if you were sitting in the presence of God? Right. Stay where your feet appear to be and chant this mantra while radiating Love, while feeling Him, while feeling your new life.
I Love you,
Nik
nikki@curlynikki.com
Bonus Quotes and Material:
"Keep God in your heart like you keep money in the bank."
-Maharajji
"Love is essentially self communicative; Those who do not have it catch it from those who have it."
-Meher Baba via, 'Be Here Now'
