GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki Nikki Walton

If you're doubting yourself and your seeming path, 
GoOD. 
You're closer than close. 
You're Here. 
Beyond Here, 
where only I Am. 
Just listen...
(t)His Silence whistles as It moves through you. 
I love you,

“Lost" - 
by David Whyte
Stand still.
The trees ahead and the bushes beside you Are not lost.
Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes.
Listen.
It answers,
I have made this place around you,
If you leave it you may come back again,
saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
 If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still.
The forest knows Where you are.
You must let it find you."

Whatever practice you practice,
it's just bringing you Here to The One that you already are. 
You listen to hear The One. 
You say 'I love you' to feel The One. 
You say, 'Only Love is Here' to know there's only One.  
and then you linger, as that One. 
I Love you,

"If you want peace, joy, and meaning, do not dwell in your thoughts but in your heart.
Yes, linger in love, and heaven's angels will gather around you." - Isha Das
"Your words are guesswork.
He speaks from experience.
There is a huge difference.
Rumi: The Big Red Book
Which is worth more, a crowd of thousands, or your own genuine solitude?
A little while alone in your room will prove more valuable than anything else that could ever be given you.
Whoever drinks your love takes in new life and new again.
Death used to follow me everywhere, threatening.
Then it caught your fragrance and left.
Pleasures end,
unless they fill with love.
Every rhythm must have love in it, or it does not flow.
Rain pours down over the ocean.
Pearls form from one love-drop." - Rumi 
"Things happen through vibrations more than through talking, or doing.
Things happen from the state of being." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar 
 

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,

"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.

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
