Deserving ... what does this mean?  That you are worthy, have merited something.  Imagine a culture in which some are deemed more deserving than others, more worthy based on possessions, beauty,or other such temporal things. Such a society would be laughable, would it not? If you are laughing, then you [...]

The beauty of a flower in the desert  Stands out amid the starkness. The light of one lantern Stands out in the darkness. Love is like that. Where there is hatred, anger, and sadness, Bring in the Light. Where there is fear and worry, With your peaceful presence take away [...]

Resonance is all-important.  Each of you plays your own unique tune.  When you meet another, you instantly know at a soul level whether your combined tunes are in harmony or not.  If dissonant, you will want nothing to do with the other.  If you must be in the same space [...]

There is never any pressure, except that which is self-imposed.  Why do you feel the stress and angst?  Did someone tell you that it is necessary?  You are perfect the way you are.  The outcome of your efforts does not change this.  You are loved no matter what happens in [...]

“I have no choice!” you cry, and you are mistaken.  You simply do not care for the alternative.  Perhaps that alternative fills you with fear.  Perhaps you feel it will hurt another.  That is what you mean by “no choice,” but there are always alternatives.  The choices become easier to [...]

No one has told you enough how beautiful you are.  No one has said to you enough, “You are so loveable.”  And so, when you hear these words from another, you are drawn to them like a magnet.  You bloom as your heart opens upon hearing such words and feeling [...]

Johnny on the Spot.  Who is he?  The one who always jumps to get things done—always there when you need him … oh, so reliable.  You could each use your own Johnny on the Spot, could you not?  And you have one.  Turn within when life becomes too challenging, when [...]

In your world of objects, things do not last.  Things break, and chip, and malfunction.  Bodies are included in the list of things that do not last forever.  Physical forms serve a purpose, but they do change.  There is a way to come to a place of peace in such [...]

Surprises come in many forms.  The best kind are those that delight versus fill you with fright.  How can you prepare?  Be flexible, if you dare.  That is the challenge for the human side, for humans do so enjoy predictability and do so fiercely eschew change.  Know that change is [...]

Be mindful of your words, whether written or spoken.  Keep in mind that many who read or hear what comes from your lips or pen will not think in terms of you, the source of the words, but of themselves.  This is the human way.  And so, they can easily [...]

Do you catch yourself performing rituals from your childhood?  Do you step across cracks in the sidewalk or cross your fingers when crossing train tracks?  Have you stopped to examine the rituals?  What purpose do they serve?  You have rituals that go beyond your superstitions that serve no purpose other [...]

The journey of awakening is a short one, but it is not necessarily easy.  The path consists of traveling from a state known as ego to a state known as Love.  Both have varying names.  Ego, for example, can be known as pride, but also as self and separation.  Love [...]

Angels are real.  They come into your life just when you need them and at times when you did not realize your need.  What is an angel, but a helper.  Your dictionary defines an angel as a divine messenger, and this is so.  For this reason, angels can come in [...]

You never know who may help you.  And why may you need help?  For you are not a sole person, but a soul.  The soul is one aspect of an indivisible Spirit.  Spirit is essence, consciousness, love.  How do you divide that?  You cannot.  It simply flows.  You can temporarily [...]

Do not think that no one cares for you.  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  Every soul you have loved who is on the other side hears your thoughts and sees your tears. You are surrounded by angels.  Do you think these are just words to placate you? Ask [...]

In a dream you wrestle with a demon.  His arms wrap around you as if in a vice, and you are filled with fear.  Suddenly, you realize it is your own arms that are wrapped around yourself, and there is no one there.  A voice whispers, “There was never another one [...]

Insecurity.  The word indicates a state of not feeling safe, lacking a sense of security of the self.  Where does this come from?  The human side, of course, ruled by ego.  Had you any idea who you are on the inside, words such as “insecure” and “self-esteem” would have no [...]

“Who am I?  I don’t matter at all.”  And with that thought you do a disservice to divinity.  Even the smallest creature has the same value as any other, for all is a manifestation of Divinity, of Source.  All is Spirit experiencing existence.  May we use the wave in the ocean [...]

There is only one Power, and that is Love.  This Power rules the Universe.  Now, we hear you.  You look about you and see examples of things that reflect less than love.  This is when we ask you to understand that there are two ways of being in and seeing [...]

Denial is a protective behavior.  You wear it like a coat.  The problem is that it holds the cold IN instead of protecting you from anything outside of you.  If you truly remembered who you are on the inside, you would have no need for denial.  Instead, you would proudly [...]

If you are to live in a state of peace, you must come to terms with uncertainty.  It is the separate sense of self which wants all to be predictable and orderly.  Control is a tool of the ego.  All is in perfect order, but on a far grander scale [...]

Patience is a virtue.  Why?  Because it brings peace to those who know it.  If you do not have patience as your friend, you do not know peace.  You know frustration.  You know ego quite well, for he is the one who says, “I want it now.  Why has this [...]

There is no doubt that the body of humanity is not fully healthy.  It never has been.  There are pockets of dis-ease that exist like tumors spread throughout.  But there remain more vital, healthy cells than dis-eased ones or your experimental school of life would not still be in session.  [...]

One hundred will say wonderful things to you and one will sling arrows.  Where will you place your focus?  Most humans will be drawn to the arrows.  Why?  Because negativity fuels the ego.  It bolsters the sense of separation, without which ego cannot survive.  Positive strokes do the same thing, [...]

“I’m not myself today.”  It is good that you notice this.  Awareness is key.  Then you might ask whose energy are you carrying around?  What is it that is blocking your true nature from shining through?  Energetic cleanliness is all-important.  Those around you may carry quite a different vibration from [...]

Roses on a gravestone.  Ashes on a shelf.  The love of your life is gone.  Or so you think.  This is when we ask you not to think.  Thinking takes you to the false belief that your beloved is never to be seen or felt again.  Oh, how thinking does you a [...]

All are of the Spirit … not just the beautiful beings, not just those who smile, not just those who make your time worthwhile.  The same spirit that breathes you breathes all others.  Those who seem the least of you may in fact be kings.  Make an effort to spend [...]

Compassion is always the answer, for it is born of love.  When you do not know how to respond in the face of very human reactions, whether of another or even yourself, turn on the compassion.  Compassion does not say, “I agree with your actions.”  It does not say, “I [...]

The real you is concealed behind a costume.  You call it a body.  The real you will not disappear when the body lives no more, for the real you is eternal.  You exist to grow in this realization, but the real you has always known this.  It is the body [...]
