As Long As There Are Thoughts, There Will Be Fear #GMweekends

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  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "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.

How do you surrender to God? You become like an empty cup. A wholly silent, Holy vessel. Let Him fill you. I Love you, Nik [email protected] Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings 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,  nik  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings  "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 nik Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "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,  nik  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "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 

When you hold that breath, you feel the Love that's been holding you.  And then that Love takes care. It takes on His form, Her shape. It changes everything. Lift your hands up, palms up,  and see if you can feel the wind of change at hand. Even if the air where you are is standing still, this Breeze, the Holy Spirit is moving.  Detect It.  This is worship.

Worship directs every fiber of our being Heaven-ward." -Darlene Zschech "Question: " How can we at any time ignore the realities of this world ? We're going to get run over at an intersection! Robert: "That is not going to happen, because your body will take better care of itself than you could ever want it to. When you begin to search for yourself. When you begin to try to understand yourself, your body is not going to go to sleep or become dull. The same power that grows oranges on an orange tree, that grows wheat in the wheat field, will take care of you and will take care of your body. Your work will be done better everything you do will be more efficient because you will no longer interfere with it. So you can keep your mind on God or your Self and your body will continue to do what it came here to do. Try it. You'll be surprised"- Robert Adams, May 26th, 1991 "Great changes are in the wind, some will claim. But it might be truer to say that the wind itself is change. The world you love is driven by forces beyond your comprehension or control. But you can be one with those forces and feel no fear of them so long as you are holding My hand. I stand with you in the wind, and I am the wind. The wind that was and the wind that is coming. The wind that even now is lifting everything up to reveal the truth at hand." - Way of the Rose, Our Lady of Woodstock Speaks (through Carl Strand)  "We are about our business. We are about the business of being human beings. And be cause of it, we find that the thoughts we entertain actually shut us off from God. We are separated from God by our own thoughts We move in a world, which is nothing more than our own thoughts externalized." -Herb Fitch, Infinite Way Book Study  "You think about your bodily comforts. You think about food, lodging, work and money, health and whatever. It's those very thoughts that keep you away from your highest good. If you were able to stop your mind from thinking, a mysterious power would take over and you would find that you're in a better position than you've ever been in your life, by not thinking."- Robert Adams

"Humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time He will lift you up in honor."* Lift those hands up, palms up, give all your worries and cares to God. Give everything to God. Don't touch anything. Don't even touch that body with its hands up. That's not you. You're aware of that one, too. You're just feeling that one,  sensing that one,  experiencing that one. But it's not you.  You're the Son, the Radiating, the Resurrecting, the Full One,  the Never-Setting One,  never settling... the Destined.  I Love you,  nik  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "Keep your feet on the ground, your head in the cosmos, and your body in purity and silence; then, you will see everything in a completely different way. Have your head in the immensity, in the knowledgeless, and your heart in greatness, and you wil discover the blue sky, the soul and all of the stars." It is for this reason that, in churches, she is often represented with her feet on the ground, wearing a cloak scattered with stars, with a serpent at her feet." - Mary the Essene Virgin *Hebrews 13:5 "The moon doesn't go through phases. Our perspective of the moon goes through phases. No matter what the calendar says, the moon is always full. Regardless of someone's opinion, perspective, or inability to see it as whole and complete, the moon is unapologetically full. I find wisdom and strength in this truth." -Steve Maraboli "If you listen carefully to the sounds around you, you’re likely to hear a continuous, high-pitched inner sound like white noise in the background. It is a sound that is beginningless and endless. It is called nada. Perhaps, that’s what you are hearing. Let it go on, just turn your attention to it and listen more intently until it becomes a continuous shimmering silvery stream. It helps us see the entirety of our physical, mental and emotional world, like a cinema. The background music is that buzz (it may change to some other sound later). Don't worry about the academics or theories or fanciful names about it. Just listen in. You hear it in meditation and then hearing it itself becomes your meditation." - Reddit Board "To me came the Sound incomparable, which comes Neither from within, nor from without. Neither does it come from the left, nor from the right, Nor from the back, nor from the front. You will ask then, whence does it come? It comes from the direction you are seeking to go. You will ask then, which way shall I face?- The side from which the bridegroom cometh. That direction whence ripeness comes to fruit; That direction from which stones become diamonds. Be silent and listen to the five sounds from Heaven, The Heaven which is beyond all senses and directions. Every moment of life this wondrous Sound Reaches down from the courts of Heaven. Fortunate above all the children of men Is he who hears its enchanting melodies." - Kabir 

This is your life on Love. Where every thorn becomes a rose, and every thought becomes GoOD. You think about God all day the way you used to think about your problems all day. You feel GoOD all day no matter what comes, by intending, "I'm feeling Go(o)d anyway". And you smile. And the world smiles. Because God is.

Don't let this life go by and miss discovering the Supreme One." -Mooji  "It is an insult to your Self to be born, live, and die without knowing the answer to the mystery of why you were sent here as a human being in the first place. To forget God is to miss the whole point of existence. Learn to feel God, and to enjoy Him." -Yogananda  "All objective experience- thoughts, images, feelings, sensations and perceptions- appears and disappears, but knowing or being aware remains present throughout all changing experience, just as a screen remains present throughout all movies." -Rupert Spira "If I pick a rose without you,  it becomes a thorn in my hand.  If I am the thorn,   I become a rose in your hand." -Rumi  "Don't worry about whether you are making progress or not... just keep your attention on the Self twenty-four hours a day.  Meditation is not something that should be done in a particular position at a particular time, It is an awareness and an attitude that must persist throughout the day." -Annamalai Swami 

How do you put down imaginary baggage? You just know there isn't any. And your shoulders come down, and you sigh a breath of relief. You sigh your way into a deeper relaxation. Into a deeper trust.
