Altruism—a focus on helping others.  Have you noticed that when most people feel a push to change their vocation it involves a bit of altruism?  Why is this?  It is the natural course of the soul’s evolution.  As the soul grows, one moves from a focus on the restricted self [...]

Actions do, indeed, speak louder than words.  Most of you hear words and launch directly into your human programs.  They activate the left-brain side most associated with logic and the ego.  Actions, however, speak to the right side of the brain associated with feeling.  Your words can say one thing [...]

A breakthrough.  This is what you call it when your abilities in a skill rise to a new level.  What is it that you are breaking through?  An invisible barrier.  It is cause for celebration, like when a racer crosses a finish line and raises his arms as he runs [...]

“I feel the earth move under my feet” … lyrics to a song you know, and useful for our lesson today.  Normally, you do not feel the earth move, yet in actuality, your earth is rotating quite rapidly.  It appears as if the sun rises and sets, yet scientifically you [...]

A force to be reckoned with … That is what you are when you fully realize who you are.  You are not just human.  You are a beautiful soul.  With soul awareness, we ask you not to look down upon the human side of you.  The human being is a [...]

Yes, you are human and you do human things.  You live in a world of duality to experience the effects of opposites and to learn from them.  So do not berate yourself when you think like a human, when you judge, when you feel anger and other very human traits.  [...]

Why do you hire a guide in a strange land?  For you acknowledge that there are others who know the way better than you.  With the guide at your side, do you then set out and go wherever you please?  That would be quite foolish, would it not?  So why [...]

What are you doing with your life?  Are you putting it to good use or merely putting in time?  Do you know that it matters not if you are “doing” and producing?  Are you adding to your soul’s growth?  That is the question.  When you add to one aspect of [...]

You are love embodied.  Yes, love is an emotion.  It is something you experience and it is something you give, but it is also what you are.  This is why you know it when you feel it.  It is why you feel out of sorts when you withhold it or [...]

There is no end to creativity.  You are all sculptors using the basic clay of Consciousness to create anew in every moment.  It is when you get in a rut and create the same creations day after day and even moment to moment that you stifle your creativity.  Life is [...]

Heroes come in many forms.  You think of your heroes as those who do something courageous for another or one who goes above and beyond.  When has someone done such a thing for you?  But when have you done the same for another?  You are all heroes in your own [...]

“Without you I am nothing.”  Have you ever said this to another?  Then this other somehow made you feel whole and complete.  And what if that one departs from your life?  Does that mean you are no longer whole?  You may feel this way, but that is only the false [...]

And the question has been given:  Why do some people face more pain than others?  And the answer is that these souls are the bravest of the brave.  Before stepping into their earthly bodies they have agreed to face challenges.  They do so knowing that overcoming these challenges will help [...]

How easily your mind is distracted!  Even when you set a goal of focusing on one thing it wanders off in another direction like an unruly child.  We highly recommend patience and training.  Just as with a child, you must set a goal and train the mind to achieve it.  [...]

Vary your routine.  This is what they teach your diplomats so as to be safe.  It is good advice for you—not because you are unsafe or are being watched—but because you are limiting your possibility of grander experiences by repeating the same patterns over and over.  A sense of safety [...]

God-guided … it is a beautiful way to live.  You do not give up your free will.  You still make choices, but you know that there is Higher Guidance available to you always simply by tuning in to your heart.  You no longer march off and do things in automatic [...]

Never fear that you are doing the right thing.  It is your very concern that indicates that you are.  “The right thing” is changeable and dependent upon belief systems, is it not?  Therefore, “the right thing” does not come from the head but from the heart.  When you worry about [...]

So many rules.  So many restrictions.  Do you not at times wish to go and live on an island where you can just be free to be yourself?  That island lives within you, my friend.  You can always go there when you seek peace, but you will not want to [...]

Be not afraid of what will happen tomorrow.  Your future will take care of itself when you focus upon your thoughts here and now.  Yes, this is a common saying and ancient awareness as well, and it contains much truth.  You are laying the groundwork for future now-moments with your [...]

You strive for perfection, but what is this elusive thing?  It is merely a concept, for it is based on beliefs, which are changeable.  In a world of duality in which all slides between two polar opposites, where does perfection actually lie?  And yet, you wear yourselves out at times [...]
