Like Rumi said, you've been knocking on this door, chanting your mantras, practicing your breathing, reading scripture, sitting for meditation, you've been knocking, praying, ceaselessly, and finally, the door opens... and you see that you've been knocking from the inside. You're already inside, in Here in Him with me, we're here together, as One. And the world is new.

It opens. I've been knocking from the inside.” -Rumi "In oneself lies the whole world, and if you know how to look and learn, then the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either that key or the door to open, except yourself." -J. Krishnamurti "The key is to be in a state of permanent connectedness with your inner body - to feel it all times. This will rapidly deepen and transform your life." -Eckhart Tolle. "Real death is death of the ego. Real birth is to dwell in one's natural state." -Ramana Paravidyopanishad "Your mind will tell you go somewhere else, go do this and go do that, keep searching, keep looking. It will never tell you there's nothing to look for. It will never tell you there's nothing to do. It will never tell you just be yourself, awaken. It will put you through all kinds of trials and tribulations. It will even make you believe that the more you suffer, the greater the value. But if you're wise, you will simply observe, and watch your mind telling you all these things. You will not fight, because your mind will always win. You will simply dissolve your mind through observation, through becoming the witness, or by asking "to whom do these thoughts come?" And the mind will grow weaker. But it will really fight you. It will cause you to observe many dastardly things in this world, and perhaps some upheavals in your life also. To make you believe in your mind and its power. I guess that's what Jesus meant when he said "Get thee behind me Satan!" In other words his mind was trying to tell him things are wrong, you're wasting your time. So he named his mind Satan. And told it "don't bother me, don't come up with all these things: I don't believe in you, you're a liar." That's exactly what you must do. Let the mind show us the worst. Allow the ego to do what it wants. But you be the observer, the witness. Hold on tight to the 'I. And follow the I thread to the heart. And you'll start laughing for you'll come to the conclusion, there never was a mind, there never was an I, there never was an ego, there never were problems, there never was a world, there never was a personal God, there never was karma, there's no such thing as enlightenment, there's no such thing as awakening. You are already That.  So be it." -Robert Adams Support the show Beginning Aug 7, 2023 - 'GoOD Mornings with CurlyNikki' will host pre and post roll ads within the back catalogue.
