    Meditating is telling God, “Here I Am, ready to listen". #GMfaves

    Meditating is telling God, “Here I Am, ready to listen". #GMfaves

    For a better morning,
    listen for God’s voice first.
    For a better night,
    listen for God’s voice last.
    For a better life,
    listen for God’s voice all day.*
    Shhhh…
    It sounds like the constant feeling of Love.
    Don’t think about that last sentence. Just read it again, and FEEL the Silence. Hear the Love. Smile. Relax your shoulders. Sway.
    Unexpected blessings happen here.
    I Love you and I'm with you,

    You are coming out of the fog. It's time. 🚀

    You are coming out of the fog. It's time. 🚀

    You might not be able to see the sun/Son yet,
    or hear It,
    but you can feel It,
    you can feel Him,
    while you look out at the seeming others and know,
    they're Him,
    which means they're perfect.
    And any problem that is perceived,
    is misperceived.
    That they don't have to become more loving, more positive...
    but that you must abide in that Place inside,
    of that Source of Love,
    of Compassion,
    of clearness of Purpose, first.
    That, you must be GoOD first.
    It's time.
    I Love you,

    Today's Quotes:
    *Reading from 616A: 1951 First Seattle Series, The Practitioner of Spiritual Healings by Joel Goldsmith
    "In hard times, inner changes must precede changes to outer circumstances."
    -Michael Meade
    "By becoming still in the face of the appearance, you make it possible for the light of consciousness to dispel the illusion that is appearing.
    Thus you gradually remove finite concepts from your mind and allow its ever-present unconditioned state to come into focus."
    -Bob Pilato
    "The key to 'figuring it out' is not trying so hard."
    - Abraham Hicks
    "There is really only one problem, distraction. And therefore only one solution- mindfulness."
    -DJKR
    "The source is within you.
    And this whole world is springing from it."
    - Rumi
    "The whole universe is full of this voice, if you can but open your (inner) ear and listen to it. The most important facts that should be understood about the Sound Current are that it is God Himself and that it is now within every human being. It is the Supreme Creator, manifested and manifesting. It is not only an emanation of God, but it is God Himself. God is not static. He is superlatively dynamic, and the Sound Current is His dynamic energy and intelligent life force in a continuous process of manifestation. It is the omnipresent form of God which flows into and through everything from the highest to the lowest, and surrounds and pervades everything in the universe. "The Audible Life Stream is the everlasting form of the Lord, and is always within every one of us," says the Master Sawan Singh.
    But while the Holy Word is within each one of us, we cannot hear its melodies or see its light because we are spiritually deaf and blind. It is to this fact that Jesus referred when he said. "They seeing see not; and hearing they hear not." (Matthew
    13:13)
    - Shah Niaz via Yoga and the Bible
    "If there is no thought, there is no me, and if there is no me, there is neither thought nor desire nor fear. The whole intent and purpose of self-inquiry is to focus the attention intensely and ceaselessly on the sense of I so that the spurious imposter me and it's identifications are exposed as nonexistent."
    -Ramesh Balsakar

    We Stay in GoOD Company #GMfaves

    And in the end,
    which is the beginning,
    you'll see that there never was a path to contentment,
    or steps made on it,
    or breaths taken in it.
    or persons met along it.
    There's no one here to recognize Love;
    to practice It, or to turn toward It.
    Only Love is here.
    And that's the final Truth.
    I Love you,
    NIk

    "Rama, 
    there are four gate-keepers at the entrance to the Realm of Freedom, moksha.

    The wise seeker should diligently cultivate the friendship of these, or at least one of them. "

    Do not fear anything; nothing will happen to you against My Will. #GMfaves

    Do not fear anything; nothing will happen to you against My Will. #GMfaves

    Feel God saying- 'that thorn in your side (that job, that illness, that person),
    is to bring you closer to Me,
    to lock you inside of Me,
    inside of My Love,
    inside of My Healing,
    inside of My Will,
    so that you'll stop leaving.
    Don't let the appearance of this world make you forget that you're in Me.
    That I'm all around you.
    Just listen,
    when the noise becomes too much,
    listen for Me.
    When you listen to sound,
    the very listening is Me.
    The Silence and Sound are not separate.
    The Formless and Form are not separate.
    I Am not separate from you.
    Surrender.
    Soften.   
    Relax into Me--
    the fulfillment of your greatest Desire.'
    I Love you,
    Nik

    "Jesus is the beginning, the means and the end of all desires.
    As I was concerned about the state of my soul, all of a sudden my adorable Jesus came and told me:"My daughter, do not be concerned, for I alone am the beginning, the means and the end of all your desires." With these words I calmed myself in Jesus. May everything be for the glory of God, and may His Holy Name be blessed."

For when I am weak, then I am strong."
    -2 Corinthians 12

    I Know God Breathed on Me #GMFaves

    I Know God Breathed on Me #GMFaves

    Feeling the breeze, think, "God is breathing on me."
    Feeling the sun, think, "God is shining on me."
    Feeling the water, think, "God is cleansing me.'
    Feeling the Love, think, “God is blessing me.”
    Use every moment of every day for remembrance of God, and you'll come to see that it's actually Him remembering you.
    I Love you,
    Nik

    What Is Yours Will Know Your Face. #GMfaves

    What Is Yours Will Know Your Face. #GMfaves

    Things have already 'come together',
    'unfolded',
    'fallen into place',
    but they will appear to take time in your experience.
    It's all here, always now,
    the storm and the rainbow,
    but the purpose of your experience is to live moment to seeming moment,
    in and AS this Love.
    That's what you're missing.
    As often as you notice you forget to consult with Me,
    to listen for Me before acting,
    you forget to be this Love.
    If you could just Love more,
    you would see more of what's already Here.
    You would stop trying to paint your own doors on walls,
    and finally, look and see My doors standing wide open for you.
    Pass through.   
    I Love you,
    Nik

    Today's Quotes:
    "What is yours will know your face."
    -John Boroughs
    "If I can't stop thinking, maybe I can just let my thoughts go by without getting all caught up in them. Feel the breeze on your face or your neck? See how it's going by? You're not all hung up with it. You don't have to see where each breeze goes. You don't have to look quickly to see if it hit those trees over there. It's breezes, and they're just going by. Make your thoughts like those breezes, those little breezes…..just going by."
    - Ram Dass
    "Who am I?
    I am myself a word spoken by God.
    Can God speak a word that does not have any meaning?"
    -Thomas Merton
    "Your name is blessed. Your home is blessed. Your career is blessed. Your family is blessed. I speak nothing but blessings over your life. This is your time to be blessed."
    -@godlovessyou via IG
    "The present moment is not linear, it is spherical. When you go deep in meditation, you experience this and realize that everything is in this moment."
    -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
    Seth: "Now, do not walk so heavily the paths of earth. Walk lightly. The weight you carry is not physical. It is not physical pounds that weigh you down. Your own identities will enlighten you. There is no need for you to concentrate so avidly and exclusively upon the physical paths. You have walked other paths
    You [this seemed directed to Rachell have cultivated other gardens. There are joys that can lighten your burden. It is not your ego that you fight, although you have a model of an ego. You fight a memory that lingers on the outskirts of your mind. A transgression already forgiven - a storm already passed - a dark cloud already punctured. Now, you are naturally as free as air. The rest is a facade to hide the memory. Now, consciously you will not understand what I am telling you but unconsciously you will. The transgression has already been paid for. The penance is finished.
    When you realize that you are free you will be able to enjoy your freedom
    Now, what brings you here? Knowledge that you do not realize that you possess, yet you do possess it. I look back again at your past histories and to your probabilities and futures in your terms, and my, how you change. You would not know yourselves. Be good of heart.
    You have more staying power than you know and you [Amelia] should realize that you are also here for a reason and that you build more that garden roads."
    -ESP 1968.10.22 (EC1)
    :Till the false is seen as false, Truth is not."
    -Jiddu Krishnamurti

A blessing

I randomly met Nikki while at a playground with my kids. Not knowing who she was, we chatted about kids and life for a bit. Her energy and positivity stuck with me. She had mentioned this podcast so I came home and started listening. What a blessing! I’m so grateful for her message.

Divine

I followed CurlyNikki at the beginning of my natural hair journey. It is divine that I have now found her at the beginning of my spiritual awakening. These recordings bring peace to my morning and are rooted in the word of God. I am thankful that I continue to grow with a familiar voice in my journey.
