Incoherent.  Is this not the word you use when you cannot understand someone for they are making no sense?  There are various things that can cause one to become incoherent:  mental confusion, ingested substances, fear, lack of focus ... Coherence is necessary to communicate not only in this earthly realm, [...]

Frantic?  Misaligned.  Fearful?  Misaligned.  Harried, worried, flustered?  What do you think? Yes.  Misaligned.  What happens when your tires are out of alignment?  You bump along the road.  Things do not go smoothly.  What is alignment?  Flowing smoothly, the way you are built or meant to be.  How are you meant [...]

Monkey mind.  This is what you call the incessant chatter.  It is part of ego’s ploy to keep you trapped in the apparent separation you perceive from others and the drama inherent in being human.  Always focused on the past, the future, and your many relationships.  There is one relationship [...]

Dream visits are undeniably real.  Those you love who have passed will take advantage of the dream state, when your mind is not so focused on the physical, to let you know they are still with you.  And what do they do?  They use the physical body to get you [...]

You go to a botanical garden and marvel at the many different colors and shapes and expressions of Creation.  Do you do the same with humanity, or do you think everyone must think as you do?  By all means, gather with kindred spirits.  Like does attract like, but appreciate that [...]

Oh, that word “try.” It will block the magic time and again.  What if you cease trying to connect with Higher Consciousness and simply Be.  Be in a childlike state of wonder.  Be in the awareness that you are part of something so much greater.  Be in a state of [...]

Why would life end with the end of the body’s service?  You are not the body.  The body houses you.  You do not take your body with you in your dreams, yet you experience life in your dreams.  You experience life in your current experience through the body, yet there [...]

You do not have to be the best.  Just do your best.  Worrying about being the best puts you in competition and judgment, bringing on stress and striving.  At another level there is no other.  There is only Being.  Who are you competing with?  Do you see the folly?  Do [...]

You are never given more than you can handle, but sometimes you take on more than is recommended.  You understand the feeling of being overwhelmed.  There is a reason you feel this way.  You are out of alignment with your true nature true nature true nature.  You do not have [...]

What happens when you have a nightmare?  You tell others about it.  You dramatize the story, sharing how awful it felt to experience the images and sensations.  What you are doing is extending the nightmare, lengthening the time you feel bad.  And yet, it was a dream.  By focusing on [...]

Your guides cannot tell you everything.  They are simply that:  guides, not the answer to every challenge.  Challenges arise at times for the lessons you can learn from them.  If you were given every solution, where would be the learning and growth?  Ask for guidance, tune in to guidance, but [...]

What is the place you call home?  What is the place you long to return to?  It is the one where you feel “at home,” peaceful, safe, protected, and loved.  Even if you have never known such a place in this lifetime, you long for it, for the heart knows [...]

What is a hiccup?  A small bump along the way ... a spasm of the diaphragm that you cannot control.  You may laugh when the body causes you to make a funny noise with that hiccup.  Can you do the same when you experience a hiccup in your plans?  You [...]

If you keep your focus on the external world and pay no attention to your internal world, suffering will ensue.  It can be no other way, for in the physical world, what goes up also goes down.  And if things do not go down, then you cling to the ups [...]

You have heard the phrase, “Change your thoughts and change your life.”  Now try, “Change your words and change your awareness.”  Instead of using the word “God,” knowing it is impossible to name The Nameless, put a name on this limitless boundless Source anyway.  Change the word to “Love” or [...]

You want the best outcome?  Dissolve.  Turn from ice to water, from rigid to flowing.  Go from “my way” to “Thy way.”  This is not a position of weakness, but meekness that comes with great insights.  Have you not heard, “Blessed are the meek?”  In your human world power is [...]

How many have felt the sting of words?  At a vulnerable time in your life, others have slung phrases at you that you took as truth.  Why?  Have you not heard that “Just because something is in print it isn’t necessarily true?”  The same holds true for the spoken word.  [...]

Spirit will speak to you in many ways.  Yes, at times the messages you need to hear come in a still, small Voice from within.  At others they come through external gifts.  Just the right person carries the perfect message.  A card reveals the answer you seek.  A sign along [...]

Forged by fire.  This is how you make the strongest of metal.  Does this mean you must suffer?  Only if you believe there is only one reality will you suffer.  You will have your trials and tribulations.  In a world of ups and downs they are inevitable.  The viewpoint you [...]

“But that dream seemed so real.”  Of course it was!  You experienced it.  But who is this you?  At times in your dreams are you not both in the dream and watching it?  And what of this life?  Will it not seem like a dream when you step back to [...]

There is a reason you have standards.  There is something within you that nudges you towards greatness.  Your Source is perfection.  As a human, you will never reach this, for by its very existence yours is a world of opposites, yet the pull towards the light versus the darkness is [...]

When you catch yourself praying beseechingly, almost begging for favors from God, notice this is but one viewpoint.  This is the “bottom-up” view of you as a separate, powerless being in need of help.  It is a valid viewpoint and every bit as real as any other, but it is [...]

“I am here for You.”  Saying this is equivalent to, “Thy will be done.”  Say it and feel the peace.  You don’t have to work so hard.  You don’t have to do it all.  Once you make this declaration, be willing to listen.  Notice how Spirit shows up in your [...]

You cannot always know what comes next.  For most humans, this causes fear, this fear of the unknown.  And then, you come to discover that you are the expression of a Source far greater than this limited human story.  The Source from which you arise is G(o)od.  If you trust [...]

When your loved one is far away, at times they can make a phone call, and you satisfy yourself with that brief contact.  When you are no longer in communication, does that make them any less present in your life?  What if they have no phone at all?  Does that [...]

Your whole life you have called this body “mine.”  You have done the same with “your” mind.  What if you knew what you knew as a newborn babe:  that the body and mind belonged to no one.  They they are simply expressions of pure Being, as are all body-minds?  Why, [...]

You are here for the experiences.  This does not mean only the ones you label pleasant.  Roll around in life.  Discover how it feels to be human.  “So, this is how it feels to be uncomfortable.” If you do not like it, take note.  It does not change your true [...]

You are whole.  You cannot be anything but whole.  You may experience emotions that cause you to feel less than whole, such as when a loved one is no longer physically present, but that is one of many possible viewpoints.  If you knew your loved one lives on, albeit at [...]

Do not compare yourself to any other.  Each one’s path is unique.  This is because Source wishes to experience life in as many ways as possible, and one of those ways is through your experiences.  You cannot let Source down.  You do not have to achieve anything.  Just experience.  En-JOY [...]

At the time of your birth, you were given a name.  At this time, you experienced your first limitation of Mind.  You are an extension of a sea of potential and intelligence so vast that it could not possibly be limited.  You arose from that and have taken on form [...]
