Copycats.  At times you ridicule those who imitate another.  Is not imitation a sign of flattery?  Choose your examples carefully.  What behavior do you wish to mimic?  It is far too easy to be a copycat in a world where violence and anger prevail.  Choose a model who stands out [...]

When you gaze upon a mountain, that is how much you are loved.  When you see a beautiful flower or hear the most melodious song, that is how much you are loved.  When you behold a newborn child and your heart opens wide, that is how much you are loved.  [...]

There is no dress rehearsal.  There is only the performance.  “But what if I mess up my lines?”  Then you have a choice:  You can slink off stage and sit behind the curtain as the play goes on without you, or you can hold your head high and realize that [...]

You live in an orderly universe.  Your planets follow orderly, predictable paths.  The sun always rises and sets.  Where there is seeming chaos in nature, there is actually an underlying order.  Study your fractals and you will understand this.  At a personal level, you may experience chaos in your life, [...]

A reader asks, “The more I give, the more I'm expected to give, it seems. I don't like these feelings of resentment, but, I too, need to feel love from others that's truly just love being given with nothing asked in return. Does Sanaya have words to address this?”  Sanaya [...]

A woman writes:  I am just losing faith by the minute watching two of my friends in Hospice die.  As a child in church they taught us that God was omnipotent, loving and created each of us the way we were supposed to be. We are not created equal. Some [...]

Does a parent give a child everything it wants?  If so, how does the child learn?  If not, what is the reason?  It is for the child’s growth and learning, or as you say, “For their own good.”  Do you get everything you pray for?  Why do you think this [...]

Comment from Suzanne:  It appears Sanaya is responding today to a comment from a follower who asked (in response to yesterday's post "Unlimited"), “What is the difference between opening up to the greatest possible outcome and fantasy?”  Sanaya says: What is fantasy?  Imagining things beyond what most humans would consider realistic.  [...]

Expectations … they can be enjoyable, but they can also lead to disappointment, can they not?  What if you had no expectations?  What if you simply set an intention for the greatest possible outcome resulting in the greatest possible good for all?  What if you then sat back and allowed [...]

“Words are cheap.”  What does this mean?  You can say anything you want, for it costs you nothing.  What is truly in your heart?  It costs you nothing to share love with all, but so many hold back in sharing this gift.  It costs nothing to say “I love you,” [...]

At times you waver.  This is doubt.  Doubt comes from being human and is understandable.  Have compassion for the side of you that forgets to trust.  And then, into your life come angels, in the form of messengers who carry just the right words to put you back on track.  [...]

You have your police force to keep control of things and give you a sense of peace.  But what happens when they are not around?  Then you become nervous.  You feel a sense of danger.  But do you not realize they always respond to your call, your cries for help?  [...]

Cornucopia … abundance … it does not always come at once, and it may not last.  All things come and go, ebb and flow.  Does that mean you give up?  No, you press on, knowing that abundance is your true nature.  As spirit, you have everything you need.  Love is [...]

You are not autonomous.  Thank God. You do not act alone.  Thank God. You need not fear.  You have help.  Thank God. When things go well, thank God. When things get out of hand, call on God. Are you beginning to get the picture? You are loved.  Thank God.

Let down your walls, those barriers which hold others at arm’s length.  What if there were no distance between you at all?  “Why, then people would know my secrets!” You all have them, these shameful things you know about yourself which you think would keep others from loving you.  Do [...]

You are all wounded beings.  There is not a one of you who has not suffered some perceived hurt as a result of your group illusion.  You say harmful things to one another and do harmful things, and all out of ignorance.  You do these things at the human level, [...]

“You push my buttons.”  What does this mean?  You place blame upon another for knowing exactly what it is that “makes you angry” or causes you upset.  Isn’t that interesting? Buttons are programmed, and oh, so totally illusory.  They are not real at all, yet you have made them so [...]

There is no dress rehearsal.  Every moment counts.  If you do not get the moment exactly as you wish, why then, you take a step forward, hold your head high, and enjoy this moment that now presents itself.  What does it have to offer?  What do you have to offer [...]

You ask for forgiveness from another, and it is not forthcoming.  And now you suffer.  What of it?  Why this wasted emotion on your part?  It is only the ego that needs to be forgiven and appreciated by another.  As spirit, you need only forgive yourself for whatever mistake you [...]

"Wash away my sins.”  Have you not heard this before?  And some of you have been told to say it.  This phrase has the ability to make you feel less worthy than you are.  A better way of saying this would be, “Wash away my mistakes.”  Picture yourself sitting in [...]

A baby takes its first breath and cries. Such a shock to have left the womb. What is it that calms the distress? A caress. Once held to the breast, The crying decreases. Or ceases. This is the power of love. From love you came, to love you will return. [...]

You, of yourself, can do nothing.  You think you are autonomous, but you are not.  You can try to hold your breath, and what happens?  Aha!  The body has a Mind of its own, does it not?  Where do you think that Mind comes from?  You may want to continue [...]

Could you go a day without saying “I” or “mine”?  Could you even go an hour?  You will catch yourself a multitude of times, and when you do, what if you shift your focus to another?  “But I give all I have to others,” you say, and do you not [...]
