Are you ready to be free?  You must be willing to shine a light into the darkest of places.  Many times, you may not even know that there are certain closed doors within your psyche with fears and traumas locked behind them.  When you are willing to ask the question [...]

Do not go backwards.  When you have a disagreement with another, do not continue to replay it in your mind.  Do not dissect every little cause, every word said or action taken in anger.  You know very well what happened.  Going back digs up the emotions.  Move forward knowing you [...]

A state of limbo.  What does this mean?  You are waiting for something to occur or for an answer, and that could go either way:  either in your favor, as you would perceive it, or against your favor.  The human does not like to be in limbo.  You desire certainty, [...]

Do you steel yourself at times in advance of a visit from someone with whom you have a history?  This is a mistake.  People change, and we are not necessarily speaking of the one coming to visit.  You are growing spiritually.  You are changing daily, becoming more loving, more accepting, [...]

Just One.  Can you eat just one of your favorite morsels?  Can you enjoy just one delightful pleasure?  The answer is yes if you set a clear intention and set aside the belief that you cannot stop at one.  You are a slave to the body and your beliefs when [...]

Playful.  Have you ever met someone you would describe in this way?  And how do you react?  Some might react with disdain, but most feel a lift.  A playful person takes you back to your childhood when you were allowed and even encouraged to have fun, and then what happened?  [...]

Laughter is the best medicine, yes, after a large dose of love.  Seeing the humor in a situation means you have risen above it.  When you can laugh at yourself, even if wryly, you have noticed the drama.  All is temporary in your world, save one thing—the part of you [...]

Do not get addicted to the highs, for they are followed by the lows.  This is one of the rules, that Life in your world seeks balance.  Oh, the highs feel so good.  Joy!  Exuberance!  Love!  There is nothing wrong with these, but you will then go to great lengths [...]

Things may not always turn out as you plan.  They may turn out better!  Or yes, they may turn out worse, but that is what happens in a world of opposites.  But yours is also a world of balance.  What goes down does eventually go up.  It must.  It is [...]

You are playing the role of your life, dear actor, the greatest role you will ever and can ever play, for there is only Life—one continuous play of ongoing flow and change and changing roles from one act to another as you stretch and grow from sleepy morning stretching to [...]

There is only one Mind.  Yes, we are back to that, Reality 101.  And that one Mind fragments itself again and again and again.  Look around you.  You see physical objects, people, animals, birds, and bees.  All are creations of the Creator, of that Divine Thought.  You are made of [...]

What purpose serves a grave if the body is only a vessel for the soul?  What purpose serves an urn?  It provides a place or an object to focus one’s thoughts—a focus for one’s prayers or memories.  It is meaningful for some to go to a grave or a place [...]

“How do I stop these negative human feelings that keep coming up?” you ask.  It is an excellent start to be aware of them.  When you can rid yourself of fears and limiting beliefs, all that remains is love.  Do you realize this?  Anything other than love boils down to [...]

Have you ever watched a leaf floating on the water, perhaps on a flowing stream?  How effortless is that floating!  Yes, you know about flowing with life, but before you flow you must learn to float.  You cannot float if you are carrying heavy baggage.  Release it.  Yes, just like [...]

You don’t have to do it all alone.  In fact, you cannot, for you are never alone.  You are part of something far greater than the human self.  When you remain disconnected from the Source of guidance, inspiration, and love, it is akin to trudging vs. gliding.  How are you [...]

How do you connect with Spirit?  Remember the words “both/and”.  You are both a soul and a soul having a human experience.  As long as you are breathing in a human body you will have the human identity, but with awareness that the greater part of you is the soul, [...]

“Look how God showed up today!”  This is the phrase we wish you to keep in mind, for all is Spirit.  Even when those around you are acting far from your perception of what is God-like, remember that yes, they are acting … acting out a role and so identified [...]

Take flight.  Spread your wings and simply fly when life in human form becomes too challenging.  Do we mean to fly away as if running away from your challenges?  Not at all.  They represent great opportunities for raising the quality of your consciousness.  Too often the human gets caught up [...]

Wake up!  You hear an alarm as a clock or a phone rings and you obey it.  You spring up, turn off the offensive noise, and change what you were doing. You go from sleep or rest to action.  This is what you call “a wake-up call,” and it is [...]

What is a tool?  It is an instrument used to perform work or a service.  It is used by something other than the tool for a useful purpose.  Is that not why you as a soul are having this human experience?  You as a soul being human are a tool [...]

Everything and anything in your life can be used as an analogy, a metaphor, a teacher.  Let us use music.  Why do you like some songs and not others?  It is a matter of resonance.  When you feel a resonance with the tones, all is well.  You are in harmony.  [...]

Free will is a great responsibility.  Without it you would be like a hand puppet of God.  That would not be such a bad thing, for would it not be wonderful to experience nothing but goodness and the right choices?  But yours is an experimental world born of Consciousness.  It [...]

You exist in this earthly realm, in this body, at this time for a reason.  At the soul level you agreed to have this experience for your own growth—not as a human, but as a soul.  The human is the vehicle for the growth of the soul.  Why do you [...]

Who are you?  This is the most important question you can ask, followed by “Why am I here?”  The answer to the first question provides the answer to the second.  You are spirit experiencing itself through a temporary role.  Why would you choose to do so?  For the experience and [...]

When you follow the snags, it is so easy to help you.  When you listen to your intuition, which is how Spirit speaks to you, it is so easy to guide you.  When you let go of your fears and trust that you are snagged, and guided, and lovingly led, [...]

Do you have rituals … patterns of thoughts and behaviors you believe you must do before doing something important?  Rituals are useful.  They are stepping stones to help you get step by step with focus to your intended goal.  Are they necessary?  They are if you believe they are.  When [...]

Your loved ones who have passed have not truly “gone” anywhere.  They still exist just as much as you do.  “But they are gone!” you say.  “We held their funeral and said goodbye.”  Of course, just as when you say goodbye to one who goes off on a trip, you [...]

Porcupines.  Their body is designed to protect it from predators.  The porcupine does not know it is spiny.  It will still run if chased by a predator, and yet it has built-in protection. Do you not get prickly at times? What exactly are your spines? You can use words and [...]
