Who are you? Are you a mother, brother, a sister, a father? To have such a role requires another, does it not? And then what happens when that other passes? If there is no more child, then in your belief system, you cease to be a mother, and if there [...]

Do prayers really make a difference? More than you know, but not in the way that most humans think. Most of your path has been mapped out, as we have recently described. The ups and downs are all great learning and growing experiences. Praying in an effort to change these [...]

Begin at the beginning … it was not the day you were born. It was the now-moment when thought decided to have an experience and call it “My Story.” This story was given a name, and it was all written out. Someone had to play the starring role, and it [...]

A “can do” attitude does indeed make a difference, for it is based upon belief. It is your beliefs which propel you onward or keep you remaining in one place. What do you believe you “can do?” Of course not everything is possible in a world of physical limitations, but [...]

What is perfection, but a state of Wholeness. Where do you find Wholeness? In Unity Consciousness. It is the rare human being who knows himself as All That Is all the time, fully aware of his wholeness, and so he strives and strives for perfection, following the nudge ever onward, [...]

You do something to honor another. What does this mean? You have received a gift from another, be it physical, mental, or emotional, and now you wish to return the gift in some way. The other need not be present. By acknowledging their gift to you and others, you are [...]

Where you place your focus is where you have your experience. Where does it hurt? Is that not then what you focus upon? And if, in the midst of your pain, a loud explosion distracts you, at that moment of shifting your attention, do you not during that time forget [...]

Give credit where it is due, and greater blessings will come to you. “I did this and I did that,” you say and so it may seem. But who are you? If you are willing to examine yourself closely and ask, “Who am I?” with the intention of getting to [...]

And so you are told to annihilate the ego. With this thought often comes fear. “If I cease to exist, then I will disappear. Life as I know it will end.” That is not so. Life with its feeling of separation will cease to exist. You will know yourself more [...]

How well can you focus? This is an important key in self-discovery. You cannot know your True Self as long as you allow the mind to drift and wander as it is wont to do. The mind can be trained. Why would you want to do so? An untrained mind [...]

Anniversaries of passings, birthdays and the like oft turn out to be days of pain for those who no longer feel the presence of loved ones. We assure you they are more present than ever at those times. We are not telling you to stay away from your memories. We [...]

You can memorize your lines, or you can allow Spirit to speak through you. You can practice your dance steps, or you can allow Spirit to lead. You can read wisdom writings to your heart’s content, or tune in to your own Inner Wisdom. You always have a choice. One [...]

Group consciousness is a powerful thing. Entire nations have committed atrocities as the result of belief systems holding patterns of consciousness which more and more then feel compelled to follow. Be aware of group thinking at any level and the susceptibility of weaker souls to be drawn in by these [...]

Pull the thread and what happens? Life as you know it may indeed unravel, but you will see then the connection of all of the strands. All is connected. What may appear separate is in reality one ball of yarn with many fibers. When one stands out, there is a [...]

Giving, giving, giving … when you live a life of service it may seem as if this is all you do. We remind you now that you may also give and be of service to yourself. If your giving gets out of balance, we advise you to begin to see [...]

The body is your greatest impediment to growth after your thoughts. Mind takes the vibrations higher and lower, to be sure, but the body has a mind of its own at times. You cannot separate mind and body whilst in human form, and so the body becomes the repository of [...]

“Oh, I could cry!” you say, and why don’t you? You are seeking a release, so get it out. How long you stay in this state is the key. You can wallow in the lower vibrations and become accustomed to being there, or you can decide that peace—that state in [...]

“I am not my body. I am not my moods. I am not my emotions, my aches, my pains. I am not even my thoughts, so many of which are influenced by my body, and my moods, and my emotions, and my aches and pains. I am beyond all of [...]

Only through effort do you grow. How badly do you wish to make a difference? How much do you wish to fulfill your purpose? Know that you need do nothing at all. There need be no pressure. But if you feel an inner push to love more, serve more, to [...]

“They have their own life to live.” Have you heard this before? And they are meant to live it. Yet, it is human nature to feel responsible for another’s life—to want to lessen pain—especially when you are part of the same soul group. You are responsible for your own life. [...]

Ongoing .. that is what your life is. What image does the word “ongoing” conjure up in your mind? It could be a slow and steady plodding forward of one foot before another. It could be a drip or a flow, but it is never ending. It could be slow, [...]

“That is not acceptable!” you state, and it is accompanied with a feeling of anger or righteousness. Oh, can you feel the wall that you have erected around yourself with this statement? Do you feel how it has blocked the flow? There is no longer ease, for there is no [...]

You’ll see it when you believe it. There is great truth in this. Until you believe that something is possible or exists, to you it is not real. What is real? That which you hold in consciousness. If you do not believe in angels, then they are the imaginary figures [...]

“I am just …” “You are just a …” Think of when you have heard or used such phrases with the meaning of “only” or “a little bit” … in some way restricted or limited. It is a be-little-ing term, is it not? “Oh, I was just kidding,” and in this [...]

I AM the Light. I AM the Light. What does this mean? Think not in terms of a physical light, but an all-pervasive glow and Power that illuminates all around it -- a brightness that in its Presence obviates darkness, meaning there is no understanding of darkness, for the Light [...]
