    Your mind is not the Healer, Christ is.

    Your mind is not the Healer, Christ is.

    Only the fullness of the Christ is here. 
    And every time you close your eyes,
    you're saying, like Jesus did, 
    "Come out, 
    rise up...",
    and everything that was dead in your life, will. 
    I Love you,

    "Some people think when you say, "God within" that you are referring to "the Mind and how to use it", but that isn't it either." - Joel Goldsmith 
    "Peace. Peace. "My Peace I give unto you. Not as the world giveth." "My peace. The Peace of Christ. And, now, I am going to tell you a secret: More healings have taken place through absolute silence than ever have taken place through all of the arguments a metaphysician could think up in the whole history of the world. If you want, really and truly, to know what healing is, all right! When you are called upon for help, sit down and get at peace. Think no thought. Just sit there and wait, wait. Be patient and wait for the Peace of the Christ to descend upon you. And, in that point or place in consciousness where one would be ready for the Spiritual Answer - the Spiritual Consciousness - to unfold, we, here, are in a different position than we were when we were functioning with treatments. You see, we have come to such a place in consciousness, due to all we have been through these many years, that we are ready for the next "Higher Step." Even if mental argument were necessary to us in the earlier days of our work, even if affirmation and denial were necessary then, they are not so now. We can leave those forms alone.
    Learn to sit down, relax. Whether the case is sin, disease, death or unemployment - and, whether or not it is serious - sit down and relax. Do not try to "handle" it.
    Do not try to "work" on it. Do not try to "treat" it.
    Rather, try to sit back. And, in silence, create a kind of vacuum for God - the Christ- to rush in. Sit down and relinquish your thought that the human mind is a healer.
    Christ is the Healer. I, The Substance of the whole work we are doing, is this: God Is." - Joel Goldsmith 
    "Sometimes God lets you hit rock bottom so that you realize that
    God is the rock at the bottom." - @living.chrisitnan 
    "One who is not amazed by the magnificence of this creation, his eves are not yet opened. Once your eyes are opened, they close and this is meditation. (Laughter)
    Tell me, what is not a mystery in this creation?
    Birth is a mystery; death is a mystery. And life is certainly a greater mystery, isn't it?" - Ravi Shankar

    The Battle's Not Yours

    The Battle's Not Yours

    In Luke (9:23), Jesus says, " If any of you want to be my followers, you must forget about yourself. You must take up your cross every day and follow me." 
    When you remember Love, 
    yourself is forgotten. 
    For that instant, 
    you are beyond the body, 
    beyond the story, 
    beyond the world, 
    being Love. 
    No narration, 
    no history,
    no future,
    no language,
    nothing.
    See how much freer you are when you are no thing?
    When you're no one?
    We're all trying to be somebody.
    Trying to make a name,
    when the only way to make a name is to take His. 
    To forget yourself,
    to become nothing.
    Rumi says, "then He makes you everything."
    I Love you,

    And all I could say was, 'Oh my God. It's You. You're here!'

    And all I could say was, 'Oh my God. It's You. You're here!'

    "It was astonishing when I first felt His presence.
    It was a little after midnight.
    The room became so still, and so quiet.
    And so peaceful and calm.
    Like when it snows.
    But warm.
    And then...an undeniable Presence.
    And all I could say was,
    "Oh my God. It's You. You're here!
    You're really here!"
    And I cried the good cry and slept the good sleep,
    with the Master sitting right there.
    I'll never forget that day.
    I pray a day like that for every Seeker."- @that_baltimore_girl replying to this IG post on my feed
    *******************
    The time has come for God to give you the fruit of your practice, 
    of your devotion,
    of your love,
    of your patience.
    Your faith.
    This felt-faith. 
    But you have ears that can hear,
    and eyes that can see This. 
    You're looking at the past. 
    Don't be fooled by appearances. 
    Look past that to This. 
    Don't judge by what you think you know, 
    by what you think is coming. 
    You don't know.
    You just keep coming back to the Silence.
    You keep stopping,
    because in that stopping (in that stilling of the mind) things are changing.
    And the more you stop,
    the more things change,
    to reflect how you're feeling, 
    how you're being.

    I Am Immersed in the Flame of Love

    I Am Immersed in the Flame of Love

    Lovingly affirm:
    "I am immersed in the flame-
    The flame of time,
    The flame of love,
    The flame of life.
    The universal fire flows through me."*
    The Living God is appearing as you and every seeming thing. 
    I feel Light(er) when you get this. 
    And you're getting this. 
    I Love you, 
    nik
    "Everything exposed to the light itself becomes light" (Ephesians 5:13). In prayer, we merely keep returning the divine gaze and we become its reflection, almost in spite of ourselves (2 Corinthians 3:18). The word prayer has often been trivialized by making it into a way of getting what we want. But I use prayer as the umbrella word for any interior journeys or practices that allow us to experience faith, hope, and love within ourselves. It is not a technique for getting things, a pious exercise that somehow makes God happy, or a requirement for entry into heaven. It is much more like practicing heaven now.
    +Adapted from The Naked Now: Learning to See
    as the Mystics See, pp. 22-23.
    "Live for a few days in the meditation,
    "I am immersed in the flame-The flame of time, The flame of love, The flame of life.
    The universal fire flows through me."
    Step into that fire. wholeheartedly,
    Starting with the big toe,
    Then, surrendering everywhere.
    Only the not-self,
    Which doesn't exist anyway,
    Burns away.
    Attend to this continually And awaken into tranquility.
    Your essence is renewed in the flame, For it is flame and knows itself as flame Since the first heartbeat of creation.
    Imagine the entire world consumed by flame.
    Stay steady, do not waver,
    As fire transmutes form into light.
    The soul reveals itself."
    To itself as Radiance.- the Radiance Sutras

    Negative Thoughts: How to Stop Them #GMweekends

    Negative Thoughts: How to Stop Them #GMweekends

    A meditation to help you IMMEDIATELY surrender negative thoughts. It's useful not just during 'formal' meditation, but in every moment you find yourself fearful or worried.   You shift from being aware of being 'you', to being aware AS the Christ Light that you truly are.  You shift out of your mind, and into the mind that was in Christ.  Into the no-mind of the Buddha.  How does that mind sound?  Is it thinking about your troubles, your past, your future? Or is It silent... steady?  How does It feel?   
    Stay (t)here.   
    I Love you,
    Nik

I did not reason out that I should be free, I found myself free, unexpectedly, without the least effort.  Spontaneity became a way of life, the real became natural and the natural became real. And above all, infinite affection, love, dark and quiet, radiating in all directions, embracing all, making all interesting and beautiful, significant and auspicious."

    My Heart is Beating in the Peace of God #GMweekend

    My Heart is Beating in the Peace of God #GMweekend

    Assume, just for today, that the sound of your heart beating is the presence of God with you.
    That every time you stop,  listen, and feel for the heart beating, you know that God is (t)here.
    You know that God is in the silence of the listening.
    You know that God is beating that heart.
    You know that God is that heart.
    You know that God is both being ‘you’, and beyond ‘you’.
    And because you know This, because you feel This,
    your new chapter begins.
    I Love you and I'm with you!

    Today's Quotes:
    My Heart is Beating in the Peace of God
    "Surrounding me is all the life that God created in His Love.  It calls to me in every heartbeat and in every breath; in every action and in every thought. Peace fills my heart, and floods my body with the purpose of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me peace; each breath infuses me with strength.  I am a messenger of God, directed by His Voice, sustained by Him in love, and held forever quiet and at peace within His loving Arms. Each heartbeat calls His Name, and every one is answered by His Voice, assuring me I am at home in Him.
    Let me attend Your Answer, not my own. Father, my heart is beating in the Peace the Heart of Love created.  It is there and only there that I can be at home.'  - Lesson 267
    "In proportion as you are listening (to Silence), you are consciously aware of the presence of God, the power. the reality, the joy, the Spirit, the life, and the wisdom of God... Recognizing your Self as Consciousness, and adopting the listening ear, the attitude of consciousness, you become the child of God that is joint-heir to all the heavenly riches."
    -Joel Goldsmith (Consciousness is What I Am)

Your podcast is an experience!!

WOW I found you through Sister Cody and since listening to your podcast I have found that through your messages I have found my way back home to myself. I was looking for home outside of myself and you made me realize I was home the whole time. There is no place to go out to find it’s all here within me ALL OF IT!! Thank you Nikki for sharing your gifts with the world and allowing God to speak through you. I have saved your episodes and go back to them multiple times a day as they pull me back to my truth. I put my noise canceling headphones on and listen to your words as they integrate with my soul and WOW what an experience!! 🙏🏼💕
