Place both hands over that fearful heart and ask it, "why fear when I Am (is) here?" and feel the shoulders relax back down.  The face softens.  The silence deafens.  Seas part.  Mountains move.  Problems are not.  God is. I Am.  "I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me.  I am the Lord, and there is no other." - Isaiah 45 : 5-6 ************************ To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at nikki@curlynikki.com!  Join us on Patreon to support the show, and tune into and participate in live video Q&As with me!  Support the show ************************* "It's happening for your betterment only." - unknown IG "You are not the mind  so where is the problem of the mind? Leave the darkness where it is and just light your lamp. Are you going to think carefully and then surrender?  O mad one! Surrender is a leap outside thought. Either jump or don't jump but please don't ponder over it! 137 Love. God is far off because we don't know how to see him close by. Actually there is nothing closer than him. More than that - he is the here and now. The name God is just for those who can't find the here and now. Words, names, doctrines, scriptures, religion, philosophy. all these are created for those who can see him only at a distance. Hence they have no connection with godliness, but only with those who are blind to the near. That's why I say: Drop the distant. Drop paradises in the sky. Drop hopes in the future, and see the near in time and in space. Be here and now and see. See the instant in time, see the atom in space. In the time-moment, time ceases to exist. In the space-atom, space ceases to exist. There is no space, no time, here and now. What is left is truth, is God, is that. You too are that. Tattvamasi Shvetketu - thou art that, Shvetketu!" - Osho "Why fear when I am here? I am formless and everywhere. I am in everything and beyond. I fill all space. All that you see taken together is my Self. I do not shake or move. If one rests in me, need fear nothing for body and soul. When you see with your inner eye, then you realize that you are God and not different from Him. Get on with your worldly activities cheerfully, but do not forget the Divine. Whatever you do, wherever you may be, always bear this in mind: I am always aware of you. - Shirdi Sai Baba "Can't give someone a blessing they're not ready for, even if that blessing is you."- @diorkenn "The Bible tells me over and over again to praise the Lord, never mind what's happening." -Elisabeth Elliot
