You come here as a soul and take on a role.  For a while you forget this, and you do as you came here to do:  you act very human.  Humans do things that at times come from the heart and at other times come from the head, or they [...]

Do it out of love.  Do you feel put upon by a request?  Can you say yes anyway?  What if you did it for love?  For the sheer Joy of serving.  Even if the other is appreciative, that is not the reason to say yes.  You say yes, for you [...]

What is channeling, but the merging of minds.  Understand:  minds are not actually separate, simply unique expressions of the One United Mind.  Think ocean and waves.  And so, when two waves merge and flow together, each takes on the characteristics of the other.  You channel source every time you speak.  [...]

You can’t have them back … but you can have them forward.  You grieve because you feel you’ve lost them.  This word is only partly true.  The physical interaction and conversations in person may be gone, but these conversations can continue.  Do not cease talking and sharing because you can [...]

You have a sudden insight.  It leads to another and another.  You can feel the ideas bubbling up, ready to burst.  “Give me a piece of paper ... something to write or draw with!”  Do not worry.  The Source of these inspirations is not going away.  You are Creation itself [...]

Death.  It carries such a sense of finality.  The brain finds it hard to process that one you know and loved is no longer in a physical body.  Do not make the mistake, however, of believing that they are no longer around you.  Should you make it your task to [...]

You have a cast of characters around you in the heavens.  For each it is different according to your beliefs, your culture, your understanding.  For some an angel appears, complete with wings and harp.  For others, the master Jesus.  For others, a loved one in spirit who continues to guide [...]

Bellows.  You use them to fan a flame.  You can do the same with your breath to turn up the light of awareness within.  Why would you want to do so?  This is the essence of your being, yet so often it goes ignored in light of more attractive options.  [...]

“Going up!”  Picture awareness like the rider in an elevator.  It goes up and down simply through intention.  The soul is the elevator with the full potential always present, yet choosing the experiences of each floor.  First floor:  Bodies and Earthly Experiences.  Second Floor:  Bodiless, Yet Still Playing and Creating [...]

What if things don’t turn out as you wish?  Can you trust that there is a bigger picture?  Larger voices may be calling.  Spirit may be using you.  Yes, get upset, if you will.  That is very human.  It is also a choice.  When one is upset, it is challenging [...]

“That’s unacceptable!” you declare, and you are setting yourself up to suffer.  The situation is what it is.  It is happening.  Can you change it?  Then by all means, do so.  If it is outside your control, then by declaring it UN-acceptable, you are arguing against, denying, what IS.  This [...]

Do you know that you feel safer if you point fingers and point out faults?  By taking the attention off of yourself and anything within yourself that is not aligned with the Highest, you do not have to pay attention to these lesser traits.  By complaining about what others do [...]

When you take a stand, you are sure to find those who oppose you.  Opposites and opposition are built into your world.  Find a belief, and you will find its opposite.  Ask for someone’s opinion, and you may or may not agree.  If you want others to love you for [...]

It is easy to love others when you accept them as they are.  So many do not realize this.  By nature, one often looks to the differences and notices what are perceived as faults, when, in fact, they are simply being as they are at this moment.  Yes, it is [...]

“There is safety in numbers,” you say.  And then you may begin to wonder, just how many does it take for you to be safe?  What is the perfect number?  One, dear one.  There is safety in knowing that you can shift awareness to being aware of the interconnectedness of [...]

“We are the world.”  You may recall these lyrics, and with good reason.  There is great truth in this statement.  All of you make up one wholeness, yet there is wholeness within wholeness, like nested dolls.  Kingdoms, species, bodies, cells ... where does it begin and where does it end?  [...]

You awaken from a bad dream.  Shake it off, like a dog shaking wetness from its fur.  That’s all a dream is:  drops of thoughts and images and sensations that get stuck in your fur for a while.  Shake it off, clear it out, and you are back to your [...]

When a thing isn’t working, stop pushing.  There is a reason.  What if you sit with no expectations for a while and allow things to unfold from a higher place?  New insights may arise allowing you to continue as you were or perhaps in a new direction.  Or perhaps an [...]

You say that love never dies.  What does this mean?  It means that whether or not there is a person in your presence, whether or not one you love is in a physical body, the love shared is here.  How can this be?  For love—divine love—is not a thing.  It [...]

Do you walk about fearful, holding onto what you have earned, be it possessions, status, relationships, or more?  What if you knew you are already complete and whole?  Who told you you are not?  Society?  Culture?  Family?  You?  Over and over you hear and think “not enough,” and when you [...]

What if your middle name were Love?  What if it were Joy?  Would you remember more often that this is your true nature?  What if your first name were Light?  What if your last name were Spirit?  Would it help to have multiple reminders that you are not only human?  [...]

What is holding you back?  Only your thoughts.  Begin with examining the thoughts you have for someone else which may be filled with disdain.  Know that these thoughts are a projection of that which you do not wish to see in yourself.  Point the finger in the other direction and [...]

Why do people travel long distances to stare at mountains?  It is not just the visual pleasure that arises, it is the sense of power and majesty that is felt.  You innately know that you are part of something so much grander than the limited self.  You know that such [...]

What is a smorgasbord, but a large buffet with choices.  Is that not what life is?  How often do you take the same food from the buffet?  How often do you try something new?  If life is a smorgasbord, sample widely, and do so with a sense of wonder and [...]

Group dynamics.  You know them well.  You dance back and forth trying to please, trying to get along, and along comes a bump and a jostle.  There is a natural urge for cohesion and coherence.  You will work it out, and at times that means some members are out.  Why [...]

What if you were free to think anything you wanted?  What if you were unconstrained by beliefs?  Then you would not be thinking at all.  You would be perceiving the insights and guidance that bubble up spontaneously from the void, which is not empty at all, but is a plenum [...]

When you are desperate, you grasp at lifelines.  You think they are the only thing that will keep you from drowning.  What is drowning you are your beliefs and thoughts that you are alone, disconnected, and only human.  When you lash out and reach out, freeze.  Find the voice within [...]

“Isn’t that interesting!”  Have you said this lately in response to something that in the past would have upset you?  Well, then, you are finding peace.  Where did you find the peace?  In taking a neutral stance.  In not giving meaning to an experience.  In saying, “Isn’t that interesting,” the [...]

The moment you feel a bit of irritation by another’s behavior, shift your point of view.  Are you seeing them as a fellow human being?  Shift to awareness that at a deeper level you all arise from one Field of Consciousness.  Does one cell in the body become offended, insulted, [...]

Is the world one continuous whole or is it divided into parts?  Both!  Why must things be black and white?  Why must there be wrong or right, day and night?  At the surface level you have two.  Beneath it there’s no me and you ... only This ... this creative [...]
