Do not be so hard on yourself. All of your thoughts and actions which are less than loving are born of the ego—born of ignorance of your eternal spirit nature. Ego knows only separation and wishes for you to pay attention only to him. He is quite a persistent fellow, [...]

There is always more to learn. Always. You may scoff at your perpetual students, but they enjoy the learning. The important aspect is to not just be a perpetual student, but to put into practice in every moment what you are learning. What good does it do for you to [...]

Be true to your self. What does this mean? The true self, which is of spirit, knows when something that you will say or do is in alignment with the divine – with truth and love. Lies and falsehoods are of the ego. Why? Because they are defensive, protective measures. [...]

Note from Suzanne:  Is Sanaya real?  As real as we are.  As real as All That Is.  Yesterday's message that I received in meditation was about fairy tales.  The message had been preceded by words about symbols and mythology, but I had not gone deep enough for the words to flow [...]

When things seem backwards to you, pay attention. Why is this so? In your world you are used to an orderly flow from A to B to C, but this is all illusion—a convenience for your learning. In fact, A, B, and C have already occurred. When a child dies [...]

Your life can be as fanciful as a fairy tale like those written by the one known as Grimm. Is your life grim? Would you like it to be more pleasant? You change it with your thoughts. If you wish to meet Little Red Riding Hood when you cross the [...]

Defensiveness … a tool of self-protection, but the spirit needs no protection. Therefore, it must be of the ego, do you see? When another makes statements or takes actions which you perceive as a threat, you counter them. This is a good time to step back and examine why you [...]

You do not have to do it all alone. How long have you soldiered on, feeling as if you fight a solo battle? There is no need to struggle or fight. Surrender. There is no weakness in this. Sit in a chair, allow the body to slump, the head to [...]

Sarcasm .. the very word has the root of one of your illnesses, sarcosis. It is a biting word, meant to make a point, but the point—in the end—jabs not just the recipient of the words, but the one who issues them. Be aware of when you use sarcasm as [...]

A bell rings and you turn your head. It has caught your attention. In the case of your telephone, when it makes a sound, you rush to answer, even if the caller may be someone you do not wish to hear from, so programmed are you. Spirit sends you nudges [...]

Head and heart, human and spirit, masculine and feminine … all of these represent energetic aspects of the self. The more each of these aspects is in balance with the other, the more peace you feel. Body, mind, and spirit all work together to form a whole. Why do you [...]

Life is but a dream … so where will you row your boat, and will you do so merrily? Have you experienced the lucid dream state in which you know you are dreaming and then participate actively in it? You do not like the direction it is going, and so [...]

We ask you to examine your aspen trees. On the surface of one grove, you see individual trees of varying sizes and ages, all appearing separate. Underneath what appears to be a surface—the earthly ground—lies a vast web of connections: the root system. What appears to be separate is but [...]

When miracles happen you are astonished. Miracles are but a brief parting of the veil that allows you to have the unwavering knowingness that there is more … more than this physical experience. A miracle is a “no other explanation” moment that tells you that you are not alone and [...]

Be cautious when you criticize or judge another for a certain act, for the same potential lies within you. “Oh, no. I could never do that!” you say, but if you are honest with your ego, you will find examples when you have done so, or—heaven forbid—you will find yourself [...]

“But (s)he has changed so much!” you complain, and this is understandable. One you have come to know has decided to take on a new role, but you have not. Or have you? All of life is about change. Some remain very fixed in their roles and change little. They [...]

You can do your best to script your life … plotting out each moment of your personal reality show, but what do you lose in doing so? The big picture. So focused do you become upon The Show That is You and the role you are playing, that you cease [...]

Transparent … to see through a thing. You give a compliment to another by saying they are transparent. “What you see is what you get.” They have nothing to hide. This is called transparency. Some of you will know of the machines used to display a thing called a transparency. [...]

Look back upon the most painful periods of your life. Some you revisit over and over. Others you wish to never think of again. What good did they do? How did they serve you? They brought you exactly where you are now, did they not? You would not be reading [...]

Yes, of course you should talk to your loved ones who have passed. They are not gone. Even if you speak not aloud, but only in your thoughts, they hear you more clearly than ever now that they do not need to rely upon physical proximity or technological devices. Think [...]

Resistance. You find it in your power cables and it causes heat. Resistance. It builds up friction and reduces flow. Why, oh why do you resist so? You can easily be aware of when you are in a state of resistance. The teeth are clenched, the heart is constricted, the [...]

Start at the beginning when you emerged from your mother’s womb. Ten fingers and ten toes. “Perfect,” they said, and all rejoiced. And then you cried a loud wail, and all rejoiced yet again. “Perfect.” Now move forward a few years. You have put something in your mouth out of [...]

When can the passing of a loved one turn into something good? When you see it as an opportunity. In this case, we choose the use of the word “good” to mean bringing more love into your world. When it seems the light has gone out of your life, this [...]

(Note from Suzanne: I checked the news just before meditating this morning and learned of yet another theater shooting. I thought I had put this out of my mind as I began meditating, but Sanaya raised the issue) Bullets rain around you. Is nowhere safe? Do you think we are [...]

Trust. At times that is all you can do when another tells you they will do something. At times you are disappointed, for you held in your mind certain expectations. You visualized an outcome from your perspective. And why, when you trust another, do they at times not live up [...]
