Standing on the Father's Feet, Dancing.

Sit up taller,  until You are taller than that body.  Beyond that body.  What can you hear? What can you see? You are being led by the Silence, by the Sound in (and AS) the Silence, by the Sweetness, back to where you came from. And while you effortlessly abide back here, that body moves forward into the Light, into its purpose, into trials that it will triumph over, into what it was made to do, who it was made to be, which is Christ in this world. God in this world. Can you treat everyone you meet today like they are Jesus in disguise? Jesus in different costumes?  Some old, some young, some with floppy ears and wagging tails, some with beaks, some with gray hair, some with brown hair, some with attitudes, some with smiles... If you can treat each of these as if they are Jesus,  you become more like Him. Like The Christ He is beyond 'Jesus'.  You walk like that. You live like that. Death dies like that.  I love you,  nik  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "Now, at this time, you are not able to hear his True Name, but the name that is given to him is Jesus the Messiah." - Acts of Thomas; cf. AAA p.294 "The Messiah is Among You" --Matthew Kelly "The whole purpose of life as I see it now is to practice the presence of God at every conscious moment. I used to think that such a state of mind or soul would be conferred suddenly when I succeeded in reaching samadhi or union. Now I realize that it is a habit that has to be trained into me, and that samadhi is not to be the cause of this perpetual enjoyment but the result and crowning achievement of it. More frequently now my mind is drawn to that very deep state where the presence of God is explicit, incontestable... Sometimes His presence comes with such a quiet and tender sweetness that I find myself weeping with gratitude. When you surrender to that absolute stillness, that all-pervasive beneficent light, that inexpressibly sweet, sweet bliss, there is no doubt, no doubt at all, in your heart or in your mind, that you are experiencing God." - Nancy Mayorga "There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual conversation with God... Ah! if we but knew the need we have of the grace and assistance of God, we would never lose sight of Him, no, not for a moment." - Brother Lawrence  "Only from the heart can you touch the sky." - Rumi

"Surrender is not surrendering control.  Surrendering is surrendering to the Control that's already built into you."* Surrendering to The Plan that's already built into you-- His Plan that's manifesting through you.   Knowing that He is among you,  in the midst of you,  changes you,  and everything around you. You see clearly that there is no 'you'.  Only Love,  fully operating. Nothing happening,  gloriously, perfectly.  I Love you, nik  p.s. My Silence is never not here for you to borrow, to match, to mimic until you see your own clearly. Relax into your own. That Silence becomes your Home. And then It becomes a home. It takes the shape of one. Listen.  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings *"You don't have to make things happen.  Surrender is not surrendering control. Surrendering is surrendering to the Control that's already built into you. That's why you go with the flow. The current already knows where you need to go. You don't need to make things happen. Believing that you need to make things happen is resistance to the current. Everything that's relevant for you is already contained within the current's energy. Just go with the flow. Your life will unfold naturally. You will respond to it in a positive way. Synchronicity will abound. Everything that needs to happen in your life, that's relevant for you to experience, will happen in perfect timing. You don't need to make it work. Let it work." - Bashar  "Father, I am Thy name hallowed; I am Thy kingdom come; I am Thy will realized; I am on Earth as I am in heaven." - The Essene Mary "t is my will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting." -1 Timothy 2:8 W"hat are you trying to control that God wants you to surrender?"- @Craigroeschel "When you have emptied all the content - thoughts, desires, memories, projections, hopes - when all is gone, for the first time, you find yourself, because you are nothing but that pure space, that virgin space within you. Unburdened by anything, that contentless Consciousness, that's what you are! Seeing it, realizing it, one is free, one is freedom, one is joy, one is Bliss. You are absolutely free only when there is no identity left. You are neither a Christian nor a Hindu nor a Mohammedan; you are neither an Indian nor a Japanese nor a German; you are neither a man nor a woman. You are pure Consciousness, and that Consciousness is eternal."- Osho  ~ Osho 

Ask the Son.  Ask Me--  acknowledge Me.  And you don't have to thank Me with words, just Recognize that it's Me.  Just beyond these words. Just past your boss, just beyond their words. Just past that phone,  or that computer, or that book, or that tree. It's Me.  There is no question.  Only the Answer.  Listen.  I Love you, nik  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "God Alone." - St. Louis De Montfort  "If you have complete faith, there are no questions. If you have no faith there is no point in asking any questions because how can there be any faith in the answer you receive? If you have faith in God when you know someone is taking care of you, what is the need for questions? If you have taken the Karnataka Express to Bangalore, there is no need to ask at every station, "Where is the train going?" When someone is taking care of your desires, why go to an astrologer?" - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Celebrating Silence "The Assisi Experience A letter from St. Clare of Assisi to St. Francis Dear Francis, I must share something very sacred with you. Don't tell a single soul. I am sure you, only you will understand. Speaking of bread, recently this has been happening quite often. A neighboring farmer suddenly appears with fresh bread for us. He seems to arrive on the very days when our cupboards are quite bare. Somehow he knows just when we are getting hungry. But the moment we sit down and begin to eat this bread, I swear to you Francis, it is not bread! It is the actual love of our Lord. There are no words. Our bodies, hearts, and souls are overtaken! There is a presence which can only be described as love more pure then pure. I just sit there in awe and of course, tears. Many of the sisters have the same experience. The others cannot help but feel the peace that is suddenly in the room. We don't tell anyone. But I can share this with you, Franics. Thank you dear Francis. Thank you that I can share so completely. Your Clare."--  Historical fiction from The Love Letters of St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi by Bruce Davis, available on Amazon  "One flower cannot ask another flower for the sunshine - for the other flower cannot give it. But the sun is there and it shines upon all flowers. Therefore, do not look to another for help - for the help is there and available for you to use. Avail yourself of it."- Seth, The Early Class Sessions, Book 1. ESP April 8, 1969

A short and powerful meditation on the 'I' that you are, and how knowing It, is the deepest, most regenerative rest possible.  When you know that only It is here, there's nothing left to think or worry about because whatever you're thinking or worrying about, isn't there... where it appears to be Love is. Bliss is.  The Bliss that you're sitting in right now.  The spacious and loving 'I' that you'll be walking through later. Feel This and be free. And here's a bonus activity from Wayne Dyer: "Think of the five words -- "I am that I am." In your mind, place a comma after the word "that." Let "that" represent for you what you would like to manifest, or become as a person. I can't stress this enough -- write down on paper precisely what that represents for you. Whatever constitutes your wish, write it down and in your mind, call it "that." For example, "that" could mean your perfect health or abundance or a specific job or a happy, loving partnership. Write it down and be specific. And as you close your eyes in meditation, let your inner mantra be "I am that." For example, "I am perfect health," "I am abundance," "I am in possession of the job I seek."    You take it a step further and let 'that' be... THAT... the All  that is being everything and nothing.  And then let THAT become what It's destined to be. That's trust. Surrender.

Feel your reality in the stillness,  in the quietness,  where there is no mind,  no thought, no words,  who are you then? You just are.  I Am. I Am.  I Am not this. I Am not that.  I Am.  I Am that which has always been, I Am that which will always be,  I Am That I Am. " -Robert Adams        "I  exist’ is the only permanent self-evident experience of everyone. Nothing else is so self-evident as ‘I am’. (…) So to do self-enquiry and be that ‘I am’ is the only thing to do. ‘I am’ is reality. I am this or that is unreal. I am is truth, another name for Self." -Ramana Maharshi "Deep rest is bliss, and bliss is the understanding that only God exists.  Knowing that only God exists is the deepest rest possible." -Ravi Shankar Support the show

"Since the Kingdom of God is within me, all power is within me." - Joel Goldsmith (Invisible Supply) Bonus Quote: "Here is the answer to every problem that will confront you, today and tomorrow and throughout time.  In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your faith is placed in the most trivial and insane symbols; pills, money, “protective” clothing, influence, prestige, being liked, knowing the “right” people, and an endless list of forms of nothingness that you endow with magical powers. All these things are your replacements for the Love of God. All these things are cherished to ensure a body identification. They are songs of praise to the ego. Do not put your faith in the worthless. It will not sustain you. Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances.  - ACIM Lesson 50 Today's Practice: Every time you notice worry thoughts today, let go of them by immediately remembering the mantra, "all power is within me", allowing the words to guide you back to the Peace, the Love, Power, Itself. Use this mantra to help you FEEL through to the Truth of every moment.  Only Love is here.  There can't be a problem AND Love.  There are no problems in the Kingdom.  There's only God, only Love, only the One.  Relax your shoulders as you're reading these words and know that you are the Kingdom.  You are safe. All is well.   Bonus Practice: Take out a cute notebook and pen and write down everything in your life that is not power.    Keep adding to that list until you can see and know and FEEL that Love is the only Power and that all seeming other powers dissolve in the presence of this Love.  Love is truly all we need.

This is what Love feels like-- imitating His Silence,  matching His Joy,  holding His hands.  Feeling Him move.  Noticing... you're held.  No desires. No needs. No wants. Just Grace. Thank God.

Lewis, Mere Christianity "For the grace of the presence, be grateful." -Rumi "Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful.

How do flowers say 'thank you'? By simply being. Silently. Beautifully. Uniquely.  Radiantly. Hold you hand out as if you're waiting for God to place Her hand in yours. And feel Her hand in yours.

Look at the flowers, they are giving thanks to God. The whole being is nothing but thanksgiving! Not worried, they are being plucked, they will die tomorrow - not worried. As long as they live it's giving thanks. Look at everything, look at this candle, what is it? Is thanksgiving. Everything that is created is giving thanks. What about us human beings? We say, because we can say it, they cannot say. It doesn't have words to say. We have language, that's how we have become superficial, we have lost our depth because we have language. There is no language for the silent expression" - H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi "I write to you, dear children, because you know the Father. I write to you, fathers, because you know him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one."- 1 John 2:14 "To wake up from the dream is to wake up from a deep depression. Peace is not to be found there. Love is not to be found there. Happiness is not to be found there. You will journey through the darkness of your own illusion until you are still and discover "I Am The Light". - Pat Nolan "Those who say they are born again should feel the all-pervading power of God around them. If they cannot feel it, they are not born again." -H.H. Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi "When you get to the point, where nothing, can rattle your cage, its because, you're no longer in one.  Your True Nature, is unlimited Joy, Peace and Love." - Pat Nolan "There is no you, there is only the state of freedom.

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,  nik  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings "If you want peace, joy, and meaning, do not dwell in your thoughts but in your heart.

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.
