In the physical world, you use a barrier when you apply a toxic substance to another object.  Perhaps you wear a glove or use a brush.  Why is this?  For the flow goes in both directions.  You do not want that toxic stuff on you or in you.  Flow is [...]

Only when you drop your defenses and get out of the way, can Higher Consciousness begin to play.  You are the vessel through which higher levels carry out creative activity.  Will you allow your vessel, which includes the mind, to cooperate or do it your way?  You are part of [...]

The curtain comes down, and all there is is darkness … or so some of you think, for you know how it feels to sleep each night. You have no other point of reference.  And what of those whose bodies fail or break, and they go beyond sleep to a realm [...]

Just because your eye is drawn to something, you do not need to act upon it.  A robot acts in robotic ways, and you are not that.  Programming, however, affects the human aspect of you, overshadowing your awareness of Presence.  You have set the intention to be present, and suddenly [...]

If you were constantly surrounded by the scent of a certain perfume—if you never knew anything but this scent—then you would not be aware of it as separate from the air around you.  The same is true of your guides in spirit.  You have one, and in many cases two, [...]

Energy flows where Consciousness goes. Perhaps you have heard this said, and it is true.  Do you have a pain in the body?  By focusing your attention there, the pain will seem worse.  Yes, pain calls your attention to a challenge so that you can deal with it.  Once you have [...]

Have you marveled lately at the perfection of nature? Have you gazed in wonder at a mountain or the sea? Have you pondered the fingers of your hand and contemplated how perfectly it is designed to do what it does for you?  Moments such as these of reflection with appreciation for the [...]

So much is available to you when you flow.  So little do you see when you are sitting with blinders on.  Do not rely only on the eyes to claim the prize.  Be like a bird that flies the skies.  Shift your viewpoint as often as you can.  Learn just [...]

“I’m not coming back!” you say when life becomes a bit too challenging for your taste.  That is all well and good, but what if you knew that all of these challenges are temporary?  “But my loved one is gone!” you exclaim, and that feels far from temporary.  Ah, this [...]

Why would you do something that goes against what your heart is telling you to do?  Herein lies the paradox:  Many act contrary to their heart’s urging to feel more loved, to gain appreciation and approval.  Ah, this is where you can see two modes of being engaged in a [...]

What does it mean to do something mindlessly?  Without awareness. Now, this is a misnomer, for Awareness is the essence of who and what you are, so you cannot be without Awareness.  Even as you sleep, Awareness is responsible for the bodily functions at multiple levels.  So, what is mindlessness?  [...]

Somnambulism. This large word means ambulating in a dream.  You would call it more simply sleep walking.  When walking in one’s sleep there is the danger of bumping into things, yet the experience in the mind is very real.  Aha.  Could it be that you are sleep walking when you [...]

It goes without saying.  What does this mean?  The answer, the actions are known, no matter what the issue.  It is self-obvious.  What goes without saying at the human level may be quite different from what goes without saying at the soul level and higher.  Each level of being, each [...]

There is more than one way to resolve a conflict.  There are many ways, including at least as many ways as there are players involved and many more depending upon how creative the players are with consciousness.  Here is where choice enters the equation.  Do you resolve conflicts with forceful [...]

This too shall pass.  When has an up not followed a down?  Life must go this way, for balance is what holds the world together.  When you feel you cannot stand the downs a moment longer, ask your angels to show you an up.  Now relax.  You cannot try or [...]

Swirling, twirling, dancing … why does it feel so good to lose yourself in the motion of movement?  For this is your true nature.  Sitting still for too long causes all of the dancing fields within fields within fields within to stagnate.  They never stop moving, but oh what a [...]

Flow.  Life is not stagnant or still, and neither are you.  Grasping at tree limbs as you flow with the river may cut your hands.  Lying back and going with the flow is far more peaceful.  “But I want …!” you cry as you grasp away.  Have you ever tried [...]

Continue to pray to the angels.  They will help you in ways unimagined.  If you find this amusing, then you have not agreed to release your human belief system and “be as the child.”  This was most excellent advice when given some two thousand years ago.  You may wish to [...]

Divine love.  Do you know what this is?  The love between parent and child comes close, but even in this sacred relationship one places conditions.  It is part of being human to have rules and impose them upon others, to expect others to behave in certain ways, and to feel [...]

You see a photo or hear the name of a person to whom you have given meaning and immediately you drop into a belief box.  Is this truth?  If experience to you equals truth, then yes, it is your truth.  But inside the box there is no room for growth.  [...]

You are frustrated, and we feel this.  If you were given a soap box upon which to stand, what would you shout?  What energy would it send out to those passing by?  Would you spread divisiveness or unity?  Why does it matter?  Picture little cancer cells gobbling up the other [...]

We have not gone anywhere, your guides and loved ones in spirit.  How could we?  We, just as you, exist as expressions of one Divinity.  One divine Mind.  One Field of Consciousness.  One Sacred Heart.  You are used to looking around and seeing separate physical objects.  We are used to [...]

Flexibility.  Like the tree that bends in the wind, as you bend with the winds of change, you are able to bounce back and remain standing.  If you remain rigid, you may break, crack, or splinter.  The challenge occurs when you don’t realize where you are being rigid.  It is [...]

A ring around the neck.  A special memento.  A thumbprint on a chain.  All of these reminders hang where?  By the heart.  This is no accident.  The energy of your loved one who has passed is imbued in that talisman, that special amulet that connects you in the mind with [...]

You get to choose your point of view from moment to moment just as you choose your mood.  Will you be grumpy or cheerful?  Loving and kind or judgmental?  “Choose it?” you ask if you do not realize that you can choose the thoughts you pay attention to and act [...]

Do not forget the soul.  As you do so, you lapse into the role played by the soul, and it is all about the drama.  Yes, you go the movie theaters to enjoy a bit of drama, and perhaps you learn a thing or two as you do so.  It [...]

Do not try to convince anyone of anything.  Let experience speak for itself. Share your experiences with the divine until others have their own experiences.  They may choose to believe them or not, for yes, it is a choice to take that leap into the unknown until you have, yourself, [...]

Why do two animals curl up together?  They seek not only warmth, but connection.  It is the natural state from the womb to the tomb whilst in physical form.  And once the form no longer exists, you will come to know yourself as that connection, beautiful soul.  Love is knowing [...]

Yes, the eyes are the window to the soul, liquid pools into which you can dissolve if you are willing to see past their connection to other physical features that keep you stuck in patterns of behavior.  Beyond the eyes and the story you have ascribed to them is a [...]

Beginnings.  They don’t only happen on specific dates or at specific times of the day.  Each moment is a beginning and an ending at the same time.  There is only this experience.  Yes, of course, experiences add up, but there are beginnings within beginnings and endings within endings.  Such a [...]
