Weeping willow trees … their branches hang limply. Why do they weep? It is as if all of the strength has gone out of their limbs. Do you not feel the same way at times? Crying can leave the physical body weak and limp, but it is a cleansing process. [...]
Visitors in the night …Are they real?They seem so closeTheir breath you can feel.You reach out to touch themAnd then they vanishBut their memory nowYou cannot banish.Treasure these momentsThese elusive dreamsThe ones you question,“Was that what it seems?”Yes, my friend,‘Twas a loved one’s kissA way to acknowledgeThey know you do [...]
Do not underestimate the power of love. It is a healing force beyond anything in the material world. As the highest vibration—lo, the only vibration from which all arises—it can be used to move mountains, as you have been told by one who learned to use this power fully.Harness the [...]
Fear is a subtle killer. It kills your dreams and it kills your hopes. It comes in the form of thoughts which tell you that you are not good enough or that you will not meet the expectations of yourself or others. Fear is a by-product of the ego, for [...]
Carry on, even when the road gets bumpy. You may wish to stop exposing yourself—always so vulnerable to attack, but this is the ego that says, “Look out. Be on guard. We do not want opposition.” It is the spirit that says, “All is in perfect order. Fear not. Simply [...]
Do not retreat into your cave when things do not go as you wish. There is a difference between going within and sitting in the silence and going within a physical hiding place and sitting in solitariness. It is far better when suffering to be with other souls. Do not [...]
Compassion … caring for another … feeling their pain and understanding how they feel. Compassion comes from knowing that at your core you are all the same. Even one who has no understanding of the truths of the Spirit can have compassion for another human, for the human experience is [...]
What is death, but a shift in your state of consciousness? In one state, you focus on the physical world, seeing through the eyes, interpreting all by how it looks, or feels, or sounds, and you think that these external things are the only reality. And then, in the blink [...]
Bellows stoke the fire.Air does fan the flames.What began as just a sparkNow as a giant roar remains.The path to your awakeningIs a bit like this.There is no turning back, my friend,Once you do taste the bliss.You have that tiny spark right now.It’s waiting to be fanned.By thoughts and dreams [...]
Barriers … walls you erect around yourself with your thoughts. “Do not come too close,” say the invisible signs which hang there. The walls themselves are invisible—so see-through that at times you are not even aware you have erected them. Of what are they made, these walls that keep others [...]
Chocolates for the soul … little morsels of wisdom that you do collect and digest for the pleasure they bring. Perhaps you keep a small diary of these delectable treats—words which speak to your heart and make it sing … words which remind you that this world of meat and [...]
Hidden in the forest lies the answer to the puzzle. You cannot see the big picture, for you see only details—tiny pieces of the puzzle. One appears to be a great oak tree, and so you think the world is made of oak trees. You step a bit farther along [...]
The sky appears blue, but is it really this color? What is color, but different vibrations along the spectrum of light? You vibrate as well, and your color changes with your thoughts and emotions… at times blue, at times red with anger, at times yellow with fear. Understand that we [...]
What is resonance, but when two or more waves enjoy compatibility in their frequency. You know a kindred spirit immediately upon meeting by the very feeling they produce in you. This is resonance. Your energetic signatures—your personal vibrational frequencies—are in tune, not dissonant. Energy is malleable. It changes in accordance [...]
Those who believe in miracles do experience them. What is a miracle, but an event or action beyond the normal human experience? Do you not yet understand that there occur events and actions far beyond the human experience at all times? There exist dimensions upon dimensions. All co-exist and inter-mingle, [...]
When watching the sun rise over your ocean, from anywhere you look upon the horizon the sun is straight ahead. How do you explain this miracle? It is quite simple: As above, so below. From anywhere you look, the Source of All Love is straight ahead as well as there [...]
Sounds of creation: creaks and groansAnd what at times do sound like moans.But is it suffering that you hear?Let us make this perfectly clear …Does not the mother cry in pain?When giving birth she moans the same.For creation is a wondrous thing.These creaks and groans pure joy do sing.A bit [...]
Note from Suzanne: Just before walking into my study to meditate, I read the blaring headlines that 10 years after 9/11, Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the attacks, had been killed. My immediate reaction was very human. It was relief, not joy, but still it flew in the face [...]
You are all points of light. Billions of stars light the sky, but are the stars the source of light, or merely a reflection of it? You know the answer. And so we say to you yet again: As above, so below. Billions of souls walk about your planet, but [...]
Note from Suzanne: I never cease to be awed by this process. As I wrote the first four lines that I heard in meditation, I thought, "Oh my God, it's another poem!" ... so unexpected, yet so welcome, this poem flowed non-stop in under five minutes. I find its message [...]
Suffer not, my children, for all experiences are temporary. Knowing this, can you not endure a bit of discomfort, knowing that light always arises from the darkness? Do not wallow there in the muck. It may seem easy to become stuck when this becomes a familiar place, but look within [...]
Your doctors speak of those with a “multiple personality disorder.” To the one who experiences this so-called “disorder,” are they not experiencing life as if through multiple minds? How do you think that the Great Infinite Mind experiences Life? Is it through its One Mind or through the billions of [...]
Belly rubs. Back rubs. Foot massages. Why are these so special? It is more than just the human touch, which is special enough in and of itself. These special moments of sharing form a bond—a connection—soul to soul. “I care for you,” they say. “I know how good this feels, [...]
Note from Suzanne: A neighbor asked me to ask Sanaya for some clarity after some particularly tragic events in the local news this week. Here is Sanaya’s response:Depravity. This you call aberrant behavior in which human beings do commit atrocities such as taking the life of another in a particularly [...]
Why do you speak of God as “Light?” Why do you wish others “love and light?” What is light, but energy—vibrant energy which dispels darkness, revealing Presence. Does not light allow you to see what before you did not realize was there? Does it not bring warmth and comfort? Are [...]
