A butterfly’s wings—the symbol of transformation. The caterpillar encloses itself in a cocoon and emerges a seemingly transformed being. Do you not also retreat into a cocoon before you experience change? For some it is quite dark inside—yes, the dark night of the soul. But it is there in the [...]
Be not afraid of the dark. It holds no evil. There is no boogeyman. These are tales passed down to you to frighten you and make you behave a certain way. “Please, could you leave the light on?” Do you see what a tool the imagination is? It sees monsters [...]
Barbed wire – an invention of man to keep another in or out of a space. Its sharp edges cut when encountered, and so you keep away. Do you not know of certain people armed with their own barbed wire, as if wrapped in pointy thorns? They exude an energy [...]
An invention brings to reality something which never before existed—a new thought which becomes a process or a product. You were created by the greatest of all Inventors. You as spirit have existed always, but you as John or Mary are a new invention, unique in your thoughts and experiences. [...]
You couple with another to learn how to reconcile duality with oneness. Picture your yin and yang symbol with black and white—two so very different colors, yet fitting together almost sensually, you might say. They mold the one into another like two very separate pieces of a puzzle, yet together [...]
From Suzanne: For those of you who found comfort in the post entitled "Rooms" about death being nothing more than stepping from one room to another, a gift: Thanks to Beverly Garlipp for formatting Sanaya's "Rooms" message into a beautiful page to be printed and shared. Click here to download [...]
Anesthesia. You use this to deaden consciousness. What is consciousness, but awareness? Your doctors inject you with a drug so that the body is not aware of what is being done to it, yet the body continues to function. Some of you “inject” yourselves with other anesthetics so as to [...]
You wonder, “How can I thank that person enough for their kindness, for their generosity?” and you think in human terms. You wish to give them a gift of some material thing. Do you not know that your heartfelt thanks carry the very vibration of the Highest Order? When you [...]
What is evil, but the lack of recognition of God. Evil does not exist as a thing. It is an effect—an outcropping. What you judge as evil was caused by ignorance. You need not condone ignorance and its effect, but you can understand it. See it in the greater picture [...]
Oneness is not a word, but a state of being—an experience of utter connectedness. Is the circle not the perfect symbol? Where does the circle begin and end? Yes, you can take a pen and place the point on individual points along the surface of the circle or sphere and [...]
“There is only one person who can help me,” you think, and when that person is not available or does not give you the answer you expected, you are disappointed. You feel yet more despair. This is because you had expectations in the first place. Do not feel bad about [...]
It feels good to say yes to others. They respond with a smile at you. You fill their needs and thus feel needed. But what of your needs? When you continuously fill the needs of others and deny the self, you deplete the self. Energy flows in both directions. Be [...]
And so, you judge. You look upon another and form an opinion. Usually that opinion is based upon the variance between others’ actions, appearance, or words in relation to your own. When you judge, your actions, appearance, and words become the standard. When we tell you that you are a [...]
Relax. It is all perfect. “But my life is far from perfect!” you protest. We ask you to look back upon your greatest challenges. Perhaps they did not seem perfect at the time, but did you not grow from them? Are you not stronger now? Did you not learn?Life is [...]
Busy, busy, busy … always running around, doing. Stop for a moment and ask why you spend so much effort in doing and so little on simply being. “Being is not productive,” you say, and we laugh. Being fuels the doing. You would tire far less if you would simply [...]
At times the body does betray you. You wish to participate in an activity, and it does not work. It “gets sick,” as you say. It breaks down. It ages. It may appear at times that the mind breaks down, but this is a consequence of the brain and its [...]
Why are you here? This is what so many wish to know. You are here because God wanted to experience this existence as you. Do you realize the miracle that you are? Physically, you are one in a trillion. Metaphysically speaking, you are one … one with God and all [...]
Failure is a human concept. Does God fail, or do humans fail to realize God? You cannot fail when you surrender your self-concept as that of a limited human and allow the full force of God to flow through you and act through you. It is your doubts that this [...]
Back to the basics. You can explore all avenues of metaphysics. You can delve into other dimensions, other realities, and dabble in what some would consider outlandish topics. Are there aliens? Do dolphins talk to us? Are spaceships going to carry you away? All of the searching that mankind does [...]
Be not afraid on this new leg of your journey. Be not afraid ever, whatever leg of this eternal existence you embark upon. Of what is there to be afraid? There be no dragons. These exist only in the mind. “No, I see them!” you cry. “They are all around [...]
You listen to others spout their diatribes of misunderstanding and judgments, and inside you clench. “Why can’t we all just get along?” The veil of human separation is wispy thin in some and thick as a black-out curtain in others. Like in a house of mirrors, you witness differing images [...]
