As your God reception grows stronger, you drop the world. You drop all calls but the One. The true Calling. The one that God has on your life.  The One that shall cause you to walk in His commandments, and do Go(o)d works, greater works than you can imagine. Be receptive, today. Be Love, today.

All you can do is stop believing that it's there." -Bob Pilato "The entire spiritual life is based on the rejection of appearances." -Joel Goldsmith "We must experience the Christ as a permanent and continuous dispensation.  We must live in the constant, conscious awareness of truth active within, maintaining always a receptive attitude... " -Joel Goldsmith, The Infinite Way (Prayer)

The aim of all practices is to hear The Sound, because even just listening for this ringing Sound, even if you can't hear It, what do you hear? ... ... Not thoughts. When you just stop and try to see if you can hear the Sound of all sounds.  the Sound that sounds come from, you're not thinking, which means you're not afraid. You're no longer afraid, and light will shine on the road ahead of you. You will succeed at what you have chosen to do, because He chose it for you. He's doing it through you. It is done. It was finished before you started. It's already here. HEAR.

If people are in trouble and you say, ‘Help them,’ God will save them.: - Job 22:28-29 "And I assure you that the time is coming, indeed it's here now, when the dead will hear my voice—the voice of the Son of God. And those who listen will live." - John 5:25 "Patanjali declares in the Yoga Sutras that the manifesting symbol for God is Om, nadam, supreme music. According to the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Supreme yogic state is achieved when the nadam or cosmic sound can be heard. The aim of all Hatha Yoga practices is to hear this sound. The practices of yoga should result in a sound body and a sound mind. The true meaning of this goes far beyond the usual understanding of physical and mental health. A truly sound body and mind is tuned to the cosmic vibration. In verse 100 of the fourth chapter in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika we find this sutra: "When one hears the nadam, the quintessence of which is the supreme, the mind then becomes one with that supreme object and is dissolved in it. The ability to listen is essential for God-realization." - Shannon Gannon "You must try to pray so that, in your prayer, you open yourself in such a way that sometime--perhaps not today, but sometime-you are able to hear God say to you, " love you!" These words, addressed to you by God, are the most important words you will ever hear because, before you hear them, nothing is ever completely right with you, but after you hear them, something will be right in your life at a very deep level." -Ronald Rolheiser "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." -2 Timothy 1:7

When given a gift,  don't look at your hands,  don't look at the gift,  look at the Giver.  Listen to the Giver.  You haven't even tried to do the works that He told you can do-- greater works than He did.  You haven't tried. You don't think it's possible, but that is just a thought.  Let the silence show you what's possible.  you can say, 'show me...', 'show me Myself'. And you'll find Yourself, as if in the one, behind the one,  with her hands raised, Love raised, status changed, name changed.  Love changes things.  I Love you,  nik  [email protected] Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings Omar and the Old Poet by Rumi (not Imru' al-Qays)  "If even the slightest desire to be free has arisen in you, you should pat yourself on the back, you are very lucky. Billions of lives on this planet don't have this blessing. They do not even live. They exist, die and dissolve. They are not bored. Even if they are bored, they're bored about something very small. A little change can make them very comfortable again. So, blessed are those who get bored!" -Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Your belief in 'two' breaks you open,  revealing the One that never becomes.  Thank God,  until you feel what It stirs,   and don't settle.  I Love you,  nik  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "You and I, so fond of the notion of a you and an I, we should live as though we had never heard those pronouns" - Rumi "When a bud breaks, it becomes a flower, when a heart breaks it becomes Divine. " -Sri Sri Ravi Shankar "What is meditation? It is to think about one thing only. Therefore, in meditation try to hold onto one thought, and all the other thoughts will gradually go away. They may be present for some time but if you resolutely hold onto your single thought, they will not trouble you. Our minds are weak through habit, unable to concentrate. We must make the mind strong so as to keep to one thought. Q: Is there a time of day which is better for meditation? M: Yes, meditation in the early morning upon arising is the best time because the mind is then free of thoughts, cares, and worries. But all these rules regarding hours of meditation etc, are only for beginners. There will come a time when you will say, 'I have given up meditation,' because then you will have realized that the idea implies duality: the person who meditates, and the object of meditation; you will perceive the standpoint of the true Self which does not need to meditate. ... We must learn to find solitude (mentally) in the midst of society; we should not give up our meditation because we are among people, but carry it on even then. Just do not be ostentatious about it - do it secretly. Do not make an exhibition of the fact that you are meditating." - Ramana Maharshi 

(t)His Silence is your soundtrack, now. It's no longer that voice with its criticisms and judgments, the labeling and constant complaining.  Your attention and God are one. Now you recognize that the Silence is God, and that when you seem to move out of the Silence, you're moving away from God. You're moving away from your goals, away from your dreams, away from the Promise, into your planning to obtain the promise. But His ways are not yours.  He moves in Silence.  Be Still,  in listening,  I Love you, nik [email protected] Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "When the mind is plunged in silence, that's God. Silence is another way of saying: to keep the mind on God all the time. God is silence, and you are that." -Robert Adams "I have no pleasure in my family. Should I remain there or leave it and go away? "Are you in the house or is the house in you? Is there any house apart from you? If you become established in your own place, you will find that all things have merged into you and such questions will become unnecessary. Sri Ramana Maharshi "Meditation does not bring you into an altered state. It brings you out of one." -Scott Feinberg "Man can overcome any limitation because he has spiritual resources which are not subject to planetary pressure." -Swami Sri Yukteswar Giri "Even though you may want to put God the Mother aside, She will not leave you. Are you not Her offspring? Keep in mind that everything is under Her dispensation. She provides for each the right thing, at the right time, in the right way…..." - Anandamayi Ma

Nothing is stopping you but yourself, but your thoughts. Give them to Me. Take My Silence, use My Faith, My Strength, My Name, My Feeling.  That's how you pray. Not with words, but with Love.  I Love you,  nik [email protected] Support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings _____________________________ Today's Quotes: "The Great Remembering Cannot be Stopped." - @Ramonalappin via IG When you pray with deep sincerity, all restless thoughts disappear. When you meditate deeply, all the distractions of the senses vanish and in that stillness you feel Him approaching. Then you will understand how wonderful life is. - Paramahansa Yogananda "From the beginning was I created, and before all the worlds, and in the ages to come I shall not cease to be, and in the holy house I have exercised my ministry before him (the Lord)." -Eccl. 24:4  "The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his ways, before he made anything from the beginning. I was set up from eternity, and of old before the earth was made. The depths were not as yet, and I was already conceived, neither had the fountains of waters as yet sprung out. The mountains with their huge bulk had not as yet been established: before the hills I was brought forth. He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world. When he prepared the heavens, I was present. When with a certain law and compass he enclosed the depths, when he established the sky above, and poised the fountains of waters, when he compassed the sea with its bounds, and set a law to the waters that they should not pass their limits, when be balanced the foundations of the earth; I was with him forming all things, and was delighted every day, playing before him at all lines, playing in the world..." Prov. 8:22-31

...but there's a place inside, a certain altitude of consciousness where thoughts are not.  Where you witness thoughts without becoming them.  Where you witness fear without becoming fearful.  Listen to this short meditation to learn how to live fearlessly and free in and AS Love.

Whatever it is that you fear, take your mind away from it and leave it to Me. Have faith in Me and you will be free at once." -Mahavatar Babaji "As long as there are thoughts there will be fear." -Ramana Maharshi "Think of Me until all thoughts are dissolved." -Bhagavad Gita "The technique of the witness is to merely sit with the fear and be aware of it before it becomes so consuming that there’s no space left. The image I usually use is that of a picture frame and a painting of a gray cloud against a blue sky. But the picture frame is a little too small. So you bend the canvas around to frame it. But in doing so you lost all the blue sky. So you end up with just a framed gray cloud. It fills the entire frame. So when you say, 'I’m afraid,' or, 'I’m depressed,' if you enlarged the frame so that just a little blue space shows, you would say, ‘ah, a cloud.’ That is what the witness is. The witness is that tiny little blue over in the corner that leads you to say, ‘ah, fear.’" -Ram Dass 

Affirm: "This is my moment of permanent change. I'm choosing Love I'm choosing who I came here to be." You came here to feel GoOD,  to remember God, to remind the world, by example, that God is real., that God is here, that God is Love. You came here to be Love. And when you're identified as Love, you've written a new chapter for that life, a chapter that can only be written Now. Smile. Everything is new.

Nothing exists but this Listening,  which is the same as saying nothing exists but this Loving, this Love,  or this Silence,  or God,  Nothing exists but God. Nothing is but God. Only the fullness of Love is here.  And you can use it as a mantra,  until the feeling,  the fullness itself becomes the mantra. You stop repeating words,  and you just keep repeating this Feeling. You keep repeatedly turning to this Feeling that's already here.  And eventually, you stop doing that, because even the one that's turning to the Feeling doesn't exist. Only that Feeling is here, only that Fullness. And It never fails.  I love you, nik Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings  "If I speak in the tonguesa]">[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,b]">[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13 "Don't be afraid. You're going to make it, but it's always going to feel as if you're not. That's the fun, you see." -Alan Watts "A Saint has told us that one day at Mass he saw Jesus Christ with His hands full of gifts, looking for souls to whom He might give them." -St.John Vianney "There is no need to change anything because it doesn't exist." -Ranjit Maharaj
