When one you love is in denial Look upon them with a smile They are as a child in need So now our message please do heed Sit back and watch their role unfold The little child do not scold They hurt enough--it's why they do The things that most [...]

When you are aware that you are in this world but not of it, you have greater freedom.  You become aware of your ability to choose what role you will assume from moment to moment, for that is what you are doing, you know:  playing a role.  And so, you [...]

Ty and I are really looking forward to our summer tour.  One of our stops is a return visit to Unity on the North Shore, located just outside of Chicago.  I just learned that the church is using my book, “Messages of Hope,” and the Messages of Hope documentary for [...]

A baker’s dozen … this is when you receive more than you asked or paid for.  It is a special treat given out of kindness and generosity.  You receive that extra something and feel as if you have won a lottery of sorts.  How easy it was for the baker to [...]

You have a long lineage.  Your ancestors were quite primitive.  They followed their instincts.  The fight or flight syndrome, linked to the limbic system of the brain, ensured greater survival.  That part of your human brain still exists and operates in you, but it need not rule you.  When the [...]

When you do not resonate with someone, the tendency is to run away, to move in the opposite direction.  The energy physically repels you.  To run away is the human reaction—that, or to fight.  Both are protective measures of the ego.  There is another way.  Recognize ego at work.  Recognize [...]

When you place certain colors next to each other there is discomfort.  You call this “clashing.”  If you could hear these colors, you would cover your ears and complain.  All is vibration.  Whether you see that which exists as colors, hear it as sound, or simply feel it is merely [...]

Always examine your motives.  Why do you wish to take a certain action?  What is your driving force?  Is it spirit-driven or ego-driven?  Is spreading love the cause or is it self-aggrandizement?  When the anger and indignation that compel you to lash out die down and you can see straight [...]

Entanglement.  Yes, it is all one giant web, one mass of connections, a matrix in which you live and have your being.  Of course this makes no sense from the level of the physical world where you bump into each other.  Take your focus off of the body and allow [...]

Pointing fingers is easy.  Taking responsibility is far more difficult.  Why?  Because ego gets in the way.  You live in a society where it is far too common to point fingers away from the self.  What if you were to say, “Because I am aware of this situation, I am [...]

“Oh, look at that behavior,” you say.  “I would never do that!”  In this way you judge and ego is satisfied.  He feels superior and separate once again.  And then what happens?  One day you find yourself doing exactly what you once derided in another.  How does this happen?  All [...]

You are surrounded by others who do not think as you do.  And what happens?  Little by little you begin to sink down, for it is far easier to go along with the crowd.  And before you know it, you are judging others and feeling separate instead of knowing that [...]

No man is an island.  Nothing happens in isolation.  You could not survive alone.  Dependency is not a bad thing.  It helps to reveal the interconnectedness of all things.  Give gratitude always for those who have gotten you to where you are now.  Some of them you would not think [...]

Peace begins at home.  Your true home, of course, is in the heart.  Wherever you go you can take peace with you in spite of whatever chaos reigns around you.  If there was little peace in the physical home in the formative years, this set a pattern which you may [...]

“I love you” … three simple words that when bestowed upon another bring joy.  Is this not the definition of a gift?  How much does this gift cost you to give?  How much time does it take to prepare and present?  How many of this gift of saying “I love [...]

How often do you do two things at once or maybe more?  In your society you favor multi-tasking.  Those who can handle more than one task at a time are lauded.  But while focused on several things at once you lose your focus on what matters most.  If you do [...]

Luminous.  What does this mean?  Something that glows from within.  You are a luminous being.  You have a light within you that glows constantly.  Brightness is measured in what you call lumens.  How luminous is the light within you?  Why, that depends upon you and only you.  All babies come [...]

Love no matter what.  This is your greatest challenge, and few meet it.  Nevertheless, it is worth the effort.  So many do not even pay attention to what they are feeling, yet if they were to do so, they would find that what propels them to act as they do [...]

“I choose love.  I choose peace.  When all around me I am bombarded with images, news, thoughts, and belief systems that are anything less than this, I choose love.”  Now we ask you to repeat this over and over and over until you feel that love and peace.  Is this [...]

Yes, you have heard the analogy, but it bears repeating:  When the surface of a pond is covered with waves, you cannot see your reflection.  When you are in turmoil, your true self cannot be seen.  Always at the bottom of the pond is there stillness, just as at the [...]

There comes a time when silence is not the best option.  Yes, then speak up.  For this you are given a voice.  Know, however, that you can speak up and do so from a place of love.  Others will not hear you if your words cause their defenses to go [...]

You clean the physical body on a regular basis, but what do you do to keep your subtle body clean?  The two go hand in hand.  Your subtle body can become quite cluttered from the simple act of living, so surrounded are you by lower vibrations.  Why, even your dreams [...]

Friends are your best protection against yourself.  They buoy your spirit, not allowing ego to continually drag you down.  They are there when you need them, your angels in human form.  They would go to great lengths to help you—something that you would often not do for yourself before giving [...]
