Yes, you can compare yourself to others, but what does it matter?  Are you content?  Do you feel that doing what others do is going to make you content?  Peace and contentment are not found outside the self.  They are found by finding the True Self.  It is here, right [...]

Yes, It is a Force, for It acts upon and creates change in an apparent “other.”  Yes, It is a Power for the self-same reasons.  Yes, It is the Light, for It shines outward, this Force, this Power, illuminating that which was previously unseen, yet existed in potential.  Yes, It [...]

It is quite easy to become a slave to the body.  You are trained to respond to its demands.  You feel the slightest twinge of hunger, and you eat.  You feel the slightest dry mouth, and you drink.  A bit of pain, and you take an aspirin.  There is nothing [...]

What happens when, to use one of your phrases, you wall yourself off? You literally erect an energetic barrier. These do not always come down by themselves. If you are feeling out of sorts, irritable, or not yourself, think back to when you might have been at odds with [...]

Your thoughts are far more powerful than you are aware.  Form follows thought.  There may be a delay in seeing the results of your thoughts, but you have CHOSEN to live in the realm of time delay for the lessons this delay affords you.  Look around you.  What challenges do [...]

The analogy of the sky as Source is a good one.  Experiences in your life pass through the sky, yet the sky remains untouched.  You are as the cloud.  You may appear separate, but does not the cloud dissolve back into the sky?  Clouds come and go.  The sky remains.  [...]

You remember the games.  In one, you drew with two knobs, turning them left and right to draw lines and arcs, and when you were finished, you shook the whole frame to erase your masterpiece.  In the second, you drew on a board with a stylus, and when you were [...]

Never is there a time when you are not watched over like a baby playing with others while the parents look on.  You are not the first to go through this earthly experience.  Those who have gone before you have learned the ropes.  They know the challenges.  From their higher [...]

Gratitude. Practice it often. Nothing will bring you into alignment faster. Alignment with what? With the Source of All Goodness, the Source of all for which you are grateful. But do not deceive yourself and think for a moment that you are separate from this Source. Alignment with the Field [...]

Catch yourself the moment a thought arises.  Is it old, habituated, worn out by use?  Does it serve you?  Or is it fresh, new, and arising from some place other than the storehouse of your memories?  You can control your thoughts if you choose to do so.  Remain aware.  Remain [...]

You can change channels at will on your television and radio.  You pick up a remote or speak to some voice-recognition helper and in an instant, your experience changes.  Do you not realize that you can change your experience with the remote control within?  It is called “intent.”  Firmly take [...]

What do you see when you look at another person, at an animal, at anything at all?  You see what you have been trained to see.  You give all names and labels.  What if you suddenly landed on this planet with no awareness of what you were seeing, what anything [...]

When you are unable to feel joy, happiness, and love toward another, you suffer.  Why?  Because connection is your true nature.  At a deeper level than your normal human awareness, all is connected.  The heart knows this.  Separation is learned behavior.  Separation is learned behavior.  Separation. Is. Learned.  Behavior.  Look [...]

You do not have to do anything simply because someone asks you to do it.  Why does something make you uncomfortable?  Yes, perhaps your belief system is causing you to interpret things a certain way, but perhaps your soul is trying to get you to pay attention.  Breathe deeply.  Get [...]

When the body gets out of balance, everything does... your moods, your emotions, your connection with spirit.   How do you get out of balance?  An event happens that causes fright or extremes of any emotion.  Then the chemicals continue to course after the rush.  During this period in which the [...]

Repatterning.  If you are tired of the same old same old, then you must be the one to change the energy within your field.  Awareness is the key.  You are aware of thoughts or activities you would like to change.  Start by envisioning the desired change.  Compare the two-the old [...]

Trust that many times when a thing doesn’t work out as you think it should, there is a reason.  Perhaps there is something better coming for you, perhaps for someone else.  Think “bigger picture.”  Why did that file suddenly disappear?  Why did that creation break?  Could it be you are [...]

You do not have to share everything.  There is a difference between keeping secrets and knowing when a thing that you know or have experienced will not be appreciated at the same level that you are appreciating it.  Sacred means revered.  If you revere certain knowledge or a sacred experience [...]

Miracles happen.  Miracles are not rare occurrences, but daily events, momentous happenings in any moment when you put on your God-colored glasses.  What is God, but the Source of all connections, the one sea of Consciousness from which all that you know and are arises.  You cannot be separated from [...]

If you were to dissolve all ideas of self before making any decisions, you would make far wiser choices.  What is the self but a finite idea that has arisen from an infinite mind.  Dissolve into infinity.  Get out of the limited box you have placed around you in the [...]

A new year ... a new decade.  It seems rather momentous.  A chance for a new start.  Freshness is in the air along with hope and a tinge of excitement.  You are presented with new opportunities, a clean canvas, a blank slate.  What will you create?  You are here for [...]

Lucid dreaming holds the key to understanding reality.  What are dreams?  Scenarios played out in awareness.  Thought patterns that arise from Pure Awareness playing out on the screen of that self-same Awareness.  Are they real?  You would claim they are not, if for you “real” means solid and physical, and [...]

When a pattern in your experience of Life changes, you are knocked off balance.  Some patterns have been present for quite a while.  Others may not have been lengthy in terms of time, but they created a strong impression and thus held a strong imprint.  Regardless of the duration or [...]

Yes, even pets grieve.  They are used to the presence of their beloved.  They are used to the interaction.  They know the connection they enjoyed, and they are aware of the sudden absence of that physical presence.  Explain to them that love never dies.  Give them your love, but do [...]

The heart knows things that the head will never discern.  Thinking and knowing are two sides of a coin.  Together they form one whole.  Is one superior?  There are times for analyzing and rationalizing, and there are times for following the inner knowing that guides without reason.  Remain spacious and [...]

New beginnings happen every moment.  Rather than dwelling in the past and building upon what has come before, be here now.  When you dwell in the past, your choices are limited.  They must follow A B C.  When you flow with the current of infinite intelligence that arises in each [...]

I AM and I am aware.  Beyond that, all is a mystery to the human.  Within that is the key to peace and the keys to the Kingdom.  All else beyond I AM and I am aware is story, layer upon layer of story moving outward at the speed of [...]

This time of year, no matter your beliefs, there is more of a focus on connection.  “Happy holidays” you wish each other, in deference to the fact that all may not celebrate the birth of Christ.  What is a Christ, but one who knows him or herself to be the [...]
