Anxiety — is it not simply fear that is extended?  It is not a sudden, frightful feeling, but an ongoing gnawing within.  What if you were to see that gnawing as a sign that something is out of balance and talk to it?   Thank you for showing me where I [...]

Do you find yourself disdaining others at times?  Do you look down your nose at them and think “less than” thoughts?  Do you know this is a projection of what you are not allowing yourself to think about yourself?  Now, the human side of you may rebel at this thought, [...]

The hero’s journey —- it is what all of you are enacting.  You come into this world and go on an adventure.  Along the way are trials and tribulations.  You know the phrase.  Do you know what a tribulation is?  Something to overcome — a challenge that is well worth [...]

Yes, it is true.  At times the soul agrees that the role it plays will endure a hardship for the learning that will result for others, if not only for the role player.  In other words, when you as a human suffer a bump in the road, do not think [...]

Never forget who you are.  We are not speaking of your temporary lifetime on this date in this place.  We are speaking of you AS eternity.  You exist beyond space and time.  If existing for all eternity sounds boring or frightful, then you are thinking and perceiving in human terms.  [...]

Completion.  You enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.  And perhaps for a while you rest.  And then what happens?  The urge to create arises again.  And a new project begins.  Always something is in creation, for that is the way of life.  Beginnings and endings.  It is an [...]

Close the mouth.  Say nothing when inside the human part of you is bursting to talk back, to make a retort, to explain, to make an excuse, to justify.  Oh yes, especially in these cases.  Close the mouth.  Bite the tongue, seal the lips, sit on your hands, and listen.  [...]

An uprising.  This is what you call it when a group of people take matters into their own hand.  When they are not content with the status quo and they wish for change.  Change is usually the result, be it good or bad in human opinion.  Did you know that [...]

What are you afraid of?  That is your greatest blessing, your greatest opportunity for growth.  Are you willing to examine your fears, to change the thinking and the issues in your life that are keeping you in separation?  That is what fear does:  it holds you hostage to the role [...]

The language you use will hold you captive in the role if you are not living consciously.  I is an insidious pronoun.  I allows you to think this role you play is the real and only you.  “If there is no ‘I’, then what is left?” You ask.  This … [...]

Can you be grateful for the times that people say things about you that hurt?  Why would you want such a situation?  No human being would want to hear unkind things about themselves, but is this not the greatest opportunity to truly practice walking the talk?  If you truly know [...]

Habits.  They can enslave you if you are not careful.  They are comfortable. They require little effort.  But life is not about being effortless.  It is one thing to flow, it is another to grow.  Examine your habitual behaviors and thoughts.  Do they serve a purpose?  What is it?  We [...]

Life does not always go as you wish.  Sometimes the lesson is for someone else, and you must bear the burden.  Of course, there are always nuggets to be gleaned from difficulties.  What does your discomfort highlight for you?  Now is a good time to be rid of any so-called [...]

Do you see the paradox?  You want to celebrate your diversity, yet recognize your oneness.  You want to include all with one photo using perhaps one human to symbolize all others, yet that is impossible, for in the manifestation of the One Heart, there is far more than one way [...]

Yes, the soul is the bridge between the human aspect of you and pure Being, pure Awareness ... THIS that breathes you.  And yet, do not fall into the trap of believing that these are separate entities or beings.  THIS is a spectrum of awareness.  The soul is every bit [...]

Others give you gifts.  There are some with greater monetary value than others.  In your human world, at times money equates to love.  If one spends more money on you, does that mean they love you more?  At times, that is the reality in their mind.  But what if another [...]

If you are stressing about something, then you are not trusting.  You are neither trusting yourself or others, perhaps.  It matters not the exact situation.  Whatever the case, stress indicates that you are focusing fully on yourself in the role as a human being.  Do you not remember that you [...]

Why does love feel so good?  Why does it feel heavenly when someone looks you in the eye with all sincerity, and you know that they care about you?  For they are reflecting back at you your True Nature.  Love is the absence of separation.  If you think about this, [...]

Point of view is all-important to the human whose awareness lies across the veil from the All, which contains all points of view.  To the All, there is no-thing and all-things.  Things come and go, arising from pure Be-ing, going outward to have experiences, and then dissolving back into the [...]

You are kidding your self if you think this life is all there is.  You are kidding your smaller self if you think that loved ones who have passed no longer exist.  You are kidding a limited version of the Self if you think and do not feel with the [...]

The many are in the One.  In the One are many.  This is all you need remember when you look about you and see the apparent separation.  There is a reason for this appearance.  The One is experiencing life through its offspring, and yet there is no separation, no difference.  [...]

The more calm you are, the more agitated another becomes.  Or perhaps it is the opposite.  You are agitated, and you think the one you’re with should be as well, yet they are calm.  It is the Law of Balance in action.  Like two test tubes connected and filled with [...]

Bonded.  In the case of your glue, you mean two or more things affixed in a way that they do not come apart.  In the case of human relationships, you mean two or more people who care deeply about each other and enjoy an affinity that holds them emotionally connected.  [...]

Reassembled.  What happens when you empty the contents of a puzzle box onto a table?  You must put the pieces back together.  There is a certain order in the end, but the process of reassembling a puzzle is not necessarily 1, 2, 3, but any-which-way until the picture reveals itself.  [...]

“Love the one you’re with.”  Each person is put before you as an opportunity.  “But what if they are abusive?” you ask.  Read our words again:  Love the One you are with.  There are two ways to see every being before you:  as a human being and as Being playing [...]

Circulation.  This is the key to awake and aware living.  Just as the breath flows inward and then outward in ongoing cycles, so must your awareness if you are to be free from ego’s patterned way of perceiving the world.  You are used to inward living, focusing on I, which [...]

“Maybe I can salvage this situation.”  Have you heard this said or said it yourself?  What does it mean?  You are aware that something has worth, and you want to benefit from that worth before wasting an opportunity.  You cannot waste a life.  Simply by “being” you are adding to [...]
