What lies beyond your story?  We are not speaking of a time in the future after the passing of the body.  We are speaking of here.  Now.  Do you know?  Have you taken the time to truly get to know your true nature without a story?  For some this is [...]

I chose to have this experience in this particular body-mind.  It is like a dream, but real as long as I am in the experience.  I limit my awareness of who I AM whilst in this body-mind, and I do so knowing it is temporary.  At times it feels like [...]

Feelings come in layers.  At the surface may be one feeling, yet if you truly examine it, beneath it you will find others that are related yet may seem very different.  It is easy to throw blame at another for a surface feeling you are experiencing, but what lies beneath [...]

Should you choose to listen to music, know that in doing so, you may be tossed about by the waves of emotion the notes may engender.  Certain notes and chords can bring about melancholy or soaring joy, or any number of states in between.  Skillful composers write songs with this [...]

Think of your family in spirit like a constellation.  When you study constellations in school, you don’t just see groupings of stars, you see drawings of specific stars within the sky connected by lines.  Yes, the lines are drawn to show you the connections, but these lines are as real [...]

At the very first note, you recognize a favorite song, so familiar are you with how it sounds.  And so it is with a loved one who has passed.  You know their tone so well that at the very first sense of their presence you know it is them, here [...]

What is balance?  It is that point at which, when standing on one foot, you do not fall to one side or another.  In life, your emotions have a balance point.  So does your body.  How do you know when the emotions or the body are out of balance?  You [...]

What are you afraid of?  Embarrassing yourself?  This fear arises from “What will others think?” Which arises from “I am not enough,” which arises from “I am not appreciated,” which arises from “I am not loved.”  Such fears arise from the misconception that you are separate from the womb of [...]

What is a kaleidoscope, but a tube in which tiny stones and bits of glass are rolled past a prism of sorts.  As light comes in one end and you peer through another, you witness a magical array of beautiful designs. Why are kaleidoscopes so fascinating?  For you never know what [...]

Babies crawl before they can walk.  They drag the body across the floor until it gets a bit old scraping the knees and hands.  Looking about, they see others standing on two feet.  This looks a bit easier, and so they pull themselves up.  “Oh, so precarious it is to [...]

Watch the ego.  This could have two meanings:  Be careful of how ego can take your well-intentioned actions astray, and observe the ego to notice how it differs from those thoughts and actions more closely aligned with your true nature as unbounded Awareness.  Such observations will lead you to be [...]

Snag, act.  Snag, act.  This is how to move forward with grace and ease.  What is a snag?  That little catch, that little pull that grabs your attention.  It can be oh so subtle or quite obvious, but it carries an energy that causes it to stand out from the [...]

Why is floating on a raft so pleasant?  You don’t have to do a thing.  You bob and rock gently on a surface that supports you on yet another surface that supports you on yet another surface that supports you … the body on the raft on the water [...]

Guided always.  That is what you are.  You think they are all “my” thoughts.  What if you were to shift your point of view to the state where all Consciousness is united, not apparently separate as it may seem to you now?  Then “my” thoughts would be “My” thoughts, arising [...]

Yes, you got the sign you asked for, and then what you wanted did not come to pass.  What is up with that?  Perhaps you simply needed a reminder that you are not alone.  You are not independent.  You are part of a wholeness in which all is interconnected.  “But [...]

Your breath has been recycled.  So has your body.  It is all energy-information, even your thoughts.  And oh, how your thoughts are recycled.  Round and round they go in the eddies of the mind.  Your mind is quite different from the One Mind from which all thoughts arise.  Those you [...]

You are in this together.  Pity, you were taught to go it alone.  They say, “No man is an island,” but even islands are not separated from the mainland.  Take away the water and what do you have?  Contiguous land.  You are all interconnected.  So, when challenges arise, most especially [...]

In order for something to get clean, something else must get dirty.  In order for there to be physical life, there must be physical death.  This is the dance, the back and forth, the sharing of polarities.  To argue with this is to bring about suffering.  Notice how the many [...]

Difficulties will continuously arise.  This is the obstacle course you call “life.”  How you perceive them is all-important in how you navigate them.  You may not have a choice in what you do about a challenge, but what you think about it is up to you.  You were most likely [...]

Made of the same cloth.  You know this term to mean that two people share the same traits or characteristics.  What if you truly understood that each of you is a thread in one tapestry of consciousness-energy?  You truly are made of the same cloth.  All of you.  Some threads [...]

Exemplary.  The word implies that a thing serves as an example.  Used in a positive light, you hold it up as a model for others to emulate.  What is the highest attribute a human can model?  Loving kindness.  This has naught to do with success or riches.  Loving acts of [...]

You are familiar with choices. Thirty-two flavors of ice-cream … a menu with multiple options. “Which one shall I choose today?” Oh, the excitement! Choice is how you learn and grow. With food and clothing, choice is simple. It is a matter of taste. With patterned behaviors, it is not [...]

A necklace is made of many beads.  Each is part of one whole.  Which is more beautiful?  A necklace in which each is exactly alike, or one with varied colors and shapes?  Perhaps the answer is both.  The way the beads are strung together is part of the fun, the [...]

You sit in a chair that is too small for your body.  It limits your movement.  What do you think it is like for the soul to inhabit a body?  It is by choice that the soul incarnates.  It does so knowing the limitations this imposes on the Light.  It [...]

The passing of a loved one from physical to non-physical—what you would call death—is an adjustment, for you ordinarily can only see the ordinary.  You are focused on the physical world to the exclusion of that beyond the senses.  Were you able to travel the spectrum of Consciousness, which makes [...]

In the analogy of Consciousness being the ocean and each one of you a wave, you can see that the ocean and the wave are inseparable.  You can also see that you and those around you are waves of the same ocean interacting as you will.  When you arise close to [...]

You are far more than the physical body.  Keeping your attention within the confines of the head and thinking that this is the center of all knowing is restricting what is available to you.  You are one light in a field of twinkling stars, yet you are also the entire [...]

Don’t forget to flow.  Forget?  How could you forget what comes naturally?  In the same way that you forget moment by moment that you are far more than a person in a body with a mind. How could you forget something as fundamental as being a being of light on [...]

Breakthroughs in your level of consciousness, in your soul’s growth, happen incrementally.  You are who and where you are due to every choice made previously.  Are you ready for a breakthrough?  Begin by setting aside the guilt.  There is not one among you without regrets, be they big or small.  [...]

A dog gets a new toy and immediately sets upon chewing it. This is instinct.  How many things do you do by instinct?  How often do you choose things that may not be in your soul’s best interest because you are following the instinctual behavior of the human nature?  These patterns [...]
