Stop running from what you prayed for.

In every seeming moment, you have one choice. Fear or love. And fear will feel closer. It will feel like the obvious choice. It will be the easiest choice. But we're here to do the hard thing. We're here to open our hearts even when they feel heavy, even when we feel defeated, even when you feel tired, and it feels like doors are closing.* In actuality, entire mansions have been prepared. You just have to stop running from what you prayed for.** Every time you take a thought of 'when' of 'how', that's running. Come back. To the only Place where prayers are answered. To the only Place that you are truly Called. And don't strain. The Silence is the Call. It is the Message. It is the Voice. "Those in whom the eternal Word speaks are delivered from uncertainty. From one Word proceed all things and all things tell of Him. Love the Word better than the world." -The Imitation of Christ I Love You I Am You nik To claim your free gift, leave a review on Apple Podcasts, screenshot it and send it to me at nikki@curlynikki.com !

I am the voice of your remembering. I am You, beyond the physical costuming, beyond the walls of forgetting, beyond the illusion of darkness. I take no other form. I claim no other identity. I use my name because names are essential in your world. Would you have come to hear me if I had said, "I am you?" There is nothing I know that you do not. My task is not to give you information that is new and different. My task is to help you remember what you have forgotten. And why do I exist? I like the "why." I exist by the very miracle of love. We ARE. There is no other why." - Emannuel Book II "Have you not noticed that love is silence? It may be while holding the hand of another or looking lovingly at a child, or taking in the beauty of an evening. Love has no past or future, and so it is with this extraordinary state of silence." -Jiddu Krishnamurti- "Stop running from what you prayed for." - @Godlyladytalk via IG "At times it feels like doors are closing. When in actuality, entire rooms are being built just for you." - @sourcemessages via IG "The maha-mantra is a prayer to come closer to Krsna, so we always want to be in that mood when chanting. We want to communicate from the heart, not from the lips. Chanting which is only from the lips is compared to shooting a blank bullet. A blank bullet is not actually a bullet, but it makes an explosion like a bullet. Similarly, we can be chanting blank mantras, mantras without substance that only sound like the maha-mantra. And we cannot defeat maya by shooting blank mantras." - Mahatma Das "As mentioned before, Srila Bhaktisid-dhanta Sarasvati Thakura said that we don't chant with our lips, we chant with our heart. The exact words are, "The holy name is not lip deep; it's heart deep." Although people may say loving things, what's expressed from their heart is what actually communicates their love." - Mahatma Das
