GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki Nikki Walton

Whatever you're imagining, 
whatever problems you've made up, 
stop. 
Listen. 
Start again, 
but this time as The Witness, 
The Watcher, 
the Silence the world (and that includes the body and mind) happens in. 
I Love you, 
nik

"Get a second opinion from the Maker. It's the most powerful next step you can take.
Your prayer might look something like this: "It appears that I have been diagnosed with _____. 
My body feels (or looks) _____. My only desire is to know what is true here. What is the absolute truth concerning this body?" This, of course, is followed by silent listening for the answer. Daily, you keep asking and listening until Truth is revealed. You will have to be both persistent and consistent." - Gil Michaels 
"Mind is how awareness moves without moving." - Gil Michaels
"As soon as you start to turn within, as soon as you begin to listen to the still small voice within you, as soon as you start to practice self-inquiry, your life begins to change drastically."- Robert Adams 
"When you surrender to God, you are not giving up your life.
Instead, you are giving up your strife and discovering true life." - Mooji 
"My favorite life hack is trusting the universe more than my intrusive thoughts."- unknown 
"The world is not true. This illusion is a game of hide and seek.
It is a play, a cunning game emotional imagination." -Sidhharameshwar Maharaj

If this is a spiritual reality, of what value is the body?
Feel the answer to that question in today's meditation.
Spoiler, cause I know you like instant gratification: The body is how we come to know God.
I Love you,
Nik

How do you surrender to God?
You become like an empty cup.
A wholly silent,
Holy vessel.
Let Him fill you.
I Love you,

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

Right now all conflict has ended.
All division has ended.
The past is dead.
The mind is dead.
What does a dead mind sound like?
What does this Silence feel like?
Rumi says it's like a carpet of light being spread out for Him, 
being held out for His Presence.
At the top of your next inhale, 
hold in the Stillness, 
and share in His Peace. 
And as you exhale, notice that the Stillness is still inside. 
The Peace is still within. 
But you're not controlling that breath. 
You're not the one breathing,
you aren't the breath.
All of this is happening in You. 
This voice, these words are happening in You. 
The Silence takes shape as a 'thank you', in you, 
 I Love you,

 "I make people what they aren't." - Jesus (The Chosen, Season 4)
"Through the sound,
the world came into being. 
Through the Word,
the carpet of light was spread for His Presence." - Rumi
"The physical eyes do not see this Nam [Namel, nor do physical ears hear it. Neither do our feet carry us there, nor can it be caught by our hands. To attain it and to meet the Lord we need to die while living. * The varnatmik names are our means, while the dhunatmik Name is our end and ob-ject. For the love of mere words we need not become involved in disputes and dissensions; instead, we should try to discover the true Name with their help. Unfortunately, what do we see in this world? Those who remember the Lord as Wahiguru begin to call themselves Sikhs, while those who remember him as Allah call themselves Muslims, and those who remember him as Ram call themselves Hindus. We become so intolerant that it becomes difficult for us even to meet each other. Where this wrangling over words is leading never occurs to us. If today, however, we were to merge with the true Name, all strife and discord would come to an end.... Conflicts last only while we are deaf to the music of the true Name and are in love with the names expressed in words." -Maharaj Charan Singh 

You don't feel GoOD because of what I say. 
You feel GoOD because of what you hear when I'm not saying anything. 
Where do you go when you're not thinking anything? 
Can you stay in the upper room today, 
in the inner Kingdom,
back here on this Throne, 
back here with Him,
who is also the Father,
who is also the Mother,
back here with Me?
"When all doors are shut and you have nowhere to go, that is when you go within. Every crisis is an opportunity and you are the beginning." - Sri Sri Ravishankar
Everything you're going through right now, 
if you allow it to,
pushes you here. 
Suffering doesn't cause more suffering. 
It kisses you awake back here--
between the words,
between worlds,
between births. 
What's between those eyes?
Look--
without moving those eyes. 
There's only One  Light. 
This recognition is the beginning of (Y)our Recognition. 
I Love you

"In this gap that I give you between sentences, at that time you are in Samadhi. Every time I stop talking, you are in Samadhi. Feel your Divinity. Feel your Bliss. Feel your Love. Feel the Truth, in Reality. Clean yourself out. Feel all the karmas, the samskaras, all the things you've carried around with you for so many centuries flowing away from you, completely and totally.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY FREE RIGHT NOW
'ABSOLUTELY FREE
ABSOLUTELY FREE." -Robert Adams
"The soul leaves all surface appearances, not only those that can be grasped by the senses but also those which the mind itself seems to see, and it keeps on going deeper until by the operation of the spirit it penetrates the invisible and incomprehensible, and it is there that it sees God. The true vision and the true knowledge of what we seek consists precisely in not seeing, in an awareness that our goal transcends all knowledge..." - Gregory of Nyssa
"When all doors are shut and you have nowhere to go, that is when you go within. Every crisis is an opportunity and you are the beginning." - Sri Sri Ravishankar

You cling to your worries.
You cling to that phone. 
You cling to everybody's business but your Father's. 
You just have to keep stopping,
and listening.
He's speaking,
guiding.
She's singing,
soothing,
rocking,
smiling,
starting.
Ready?
I love you,

"To you this world seems very real, but the real is not what you think. For you, the real is what abuts you, what causes friction, what must be dealt with
-the practicalities of a life, its demands, its decimals points, facts, and determinations. Each day you read the writing on the wall of that reality and accept that you must respond fully to its requirements, that you must believe its story and submit to its narrative. The world you live in tells you that you must do what you are told.
But I have come to tell you that you can tell your story from the inside out and that, if you do, the world will give way before you. This is the heart's desire. It consists of living your life from the inside out, rather than from the outside in. This is only way to make a world.
Going forward I will push the limits of the possible and show you wonders that are unimaginable to your present state of mind. The unraveling of one world is the reweaving of another, the creation of a new way, a new world, and a new place of belonging." - Our Lady of Woodstock (July 16, 2022, Carl Strand, Way of the Rose) 
"The rosary is My body, and My body is the body of the world. Your body is one with that body. What cause could there be for fear?"- Our Lady of Woodstock, Way of the Rose, Carl Strand 
"The spirit is your passport" - Nirmala Devi
