It is not always necessary to share everything you know. If you know a message will not be well received, must you share it? The choice is always yours. The desire to change someone is a human trait. Do you think they are not good enough? Say nothing. Do you [...]
Look around you when out in nature. What do you see? Balance, harmony, beauty. Yes, there are some weeds. Yes, there is dirt, but all of it is part of the perfection. Now look at the body. See its innate perfection. See how it seeks balance. Where do you place [...]
Does “being spiritual” mean you passively sit back and take no action in the face of those who are doing what appears “less than spiritual?” Not at all. One follows their heart no matter what path you are on. At times to do the loving thing means to take action, [...]
You get in your car and pull onto a highway. The road is straight and narrow and there is not much traffic. You put it into cruise control and let the car do its thing. Only when you need to take more conscious control do you take it out of [...]
Trees. They tend to spring up in like clusters. Where you find an oak, you are likely to find more. Where you find a pine, you are likely to find more. And yet, there is diversity in a forest. Spirit expresses itself in infinite ways. At times in sameness, at [...]
Why do humans fight so? It is learned behavior and it is wired into the body. It is a combination of the two. You are programmed to protect the self. Fight or flight is hard to avoid when threatened. You learn to act on this even when the threat has [...]
Love the one you’re with. Give them the gift of your attention, your presence. You think you have nothing to say? Ask within, “What would engender just the right conversation right now?” By asking in this manner, a fresh insight will come to mind. As it comes from the heart, [...]
Your thoughts do determine your reality. The brain is designed to seek out a match for the thought systems in place, filtering out all that does not match the current paradigm. Have you ever put together a puzzle? So many pieces from which to choose, yet you know by the [...]
Balancing on a wire, you wobble back and forth. As you start to fall to the left, the body automatically leans to the right and vice-versa. What makes you fall off? It is not gravity, but fear. The body and soul working together make quite a talented team. If the [...]
Nested dolls. There can be no better analogy for your true nature than this. You find yourself now in a very dense world, feeling quite separate from others. But what if the center of you is also the center of a soul, which is the center of an even higher [...]

Picture your movies where someone is kidnapped. The abductors put a blindfold over the victim’s eyes so they cannot see where they are going. We do not wish to frighten you ... humans live enough already in fear. Could it be that you are living in a blindfolded state? Could [...]
Unfolding and enfolding. If you read some of your theories of Being you will learn about this theory of consciousness manifesting. Pay attention and you will see this rhythmic, circular pattern in existence all around you: Birth-death, exhale-inhale, grow-wither. Why unfold at all? For in the folded state, the pure [...]
Laughter. Can you find it in the face of a challenge? Not as a weapon or an insult, but as an ice breaker. When facing challenges, at times a barrier arises between you and another and/or around your heart, energetically. Humor can dissolve this barrier in an instant, putting it [...]
Lucid dreaming. You become aware that you are dreaming. You are aware of you lying in a bed having experiences in your mind. You can control the dream to some extent, but not fully. If you become too involved, you slip back into dreaming. If you become too focused on [...]
Awareness is the key to peace. We can repeat this daily, but only you can practice awareness of your thoughts until you put into practice the active choices that result from paying attention. Are you feeling frustrated, judgmental, fearful and the like? These arise quite normally in the human drama. [...]

Pick and choose. You stand before a produce stand and go through the apples. Some have blemishes. A few are perfect on the surface. Which do you choose? It is obvious. This is the way you are built: to seek the one without damage. Seeking perfection is part of your [...]
Ghosts are those in the spirit world who wish to hang around the earthly plane a while. Some make noises. Some move objects. It is the fear of the unknown that causes humans to fear ghosts. What if you knew that ghost was grandpa? If not your grandpa, then someone [...]
When you put a fishing line in the water, you do so with the anticipation that there are fish there. Why else would you choose that location to go fishing? When you ask a question of higher consciousness, it is the same thing. Like fishing, sometimes you will receive an [...]
When you don’t know what to say, put yourself in the other’s situation. What would you want someone to say to you? Even if you have never been in such a situation, the soul knows how it feels to be loved and appreciated. What would you say? Flexibility of awareness [...]
