God Takes Care of Itself

Today's Quotes: "Unless you realize and feel God's presence, or unless you actually feel the nothingness of that which is presenting itself as the appearance, the healing will not take place." - Joel Goldsmith Dr. Michael Beckwith's 4 Stages of Spiritual Progress (To Me, By Me, Through Me, AS Me) 1. Victim Stage (to me) "Something is happening to me. I'm a victim. I live believing that something outside of me determines my destiny, my happiness, my success, and my well-being." 2. Manifestation Stage  (by me) "I learn to manifest.  I use my mind, my conversation, and spiritual practices... to manifest the kind of life that I can imagine." 3. Surrender Stage (through me) "I'm yielding. I'm surrendering.  I'm allowing, because I've come to an awareness that the order that we all depend on is none that I make.  That order already exists, and I'm yielding to it, I'm surrendering to it." 4. Oneness (AS me) In this stage, the line of separation is dissolved, and we feel our oneness with all of life with no filter. Bonus Quote: "When the feeling "I am doing" is lost, nothing affects a man.  Unless one realizes the Self, the feeling "I am doing" will never vanish." -Ramana Maharshi Today's Practice: Which stage are you hanging out in?  Be honest with yourself, and then practice dropping your 'self' by feeling Love until only this ocean of Love is left.  That's the 4th stage, the Go(o)d one.  I Love you, Nik Resources: The Practice of the Presence of God by Brother Lawrence  (free PDF) The Practice That Changed My Life (My mantra/japa practice ) Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.
