Vive la difference! When a friend points out that you do something a certain way, do not take that as criticism. Understand that it may or may not be their way, but you can choose to see their remark merely as an observation. Your way is your way. All are [...]
Why do you bristle when another tells you what to do? That would mean letting go of what you think is the correct thought or action. Perhaps it is correct or appropriate, but perhaps there are other ways of thinking or behaving. Trying out those other ways would require change. [...]
Look at the waters that cover your earth. They have been there for millions of years. The waves come and go, do they not, yet the water is still there. You are like the water. The form of you comes and goes, yet you remain. “Do my loved ones hang [...]
Have you experienced the joy that comes from a pure connection with Spirit? It is quite different from the happiness of ego-based thoughts. Have you experienced the peace that comes from a true connection with your Essence? It is quite different from a human sense of being calm. Have you [...]
Oh, the beauty of a gray dawn. It holds such promise. Each day begins anew, with or without the sparkling dew. What you do with it is up to you. Hold the promise in your hand and bless it. This is where you start. Knowing that with the sun or [...]
Why do astronauts venture into outer space? To discern things and worlds unknown. To go where no man has walked before. They do this at times at great peril. Do you know that you can venture into deep space yourself at no risk and discern worlds upon worlds of great [...]
Underneath the mattress lies a pea. The one who feels it gets a prize. How sensitive are you? The prize goes to the one who can discern even the most subtle of vibrations. And what is that prize? Awareness of the Kingdom of which you have always been a part. [...]
There will be times when you find yourself in a tight spot. You have been there before. Yes, a feeling of doom may descend, but that is simply a warning sign, just as is pain. These signs and pains do not represent permanency. They merely alert you that adjustments to [...]
It matters not if the mass of humans think not as you do. It matters not if belief systems differ. There is one way in which all are the same: in the emotional field. All grieve the same. All know laughter and love at some point in their lives. And [...]
“Who gets the credit?” Do you see what a human concept this is? Only a mind that sees itself as lacking would concern itself with recognition and attention. That is the ego speaking, poor thing. Ego sees not that it is a player in the role of human-being. Its role [...]
“But we are not the kind of people who normally seek out mediums.” And who would those kind of people be, we ask? Those who have suffered great loss, perhaps, and wish desperately to know that their loved ones are not gone forever. So, would those kinds of people believe [...]
What if you were blind? How would you feel about another person when you met them? What is the first thing you would perceive? You would form your impressions most likely on the voice or the strength of a handshake. At a far more subtle level you would feel their [...]
Beginnings. They represent excitement and perhaps a bit of doubt, for you know not exactly how things will turn out. Do you remember the first day of school when all of your notebooks were new, not a word written on them? This moment is like that on this new day [...]
Whispers on the wind. Voices so subtle you are not sure you heard them. And then you follow the promptings and magic occurs. This is how you learn to trust the voice. You always have a choice. When you choose to ignore the voice, life goes on, but perhaps you [...]
What if there were no love in this world? Can you picture your planet Mars? It is still a living planet, beautiful in its own way, but blighted by a lack of vibrant presence. You have your cities like that. You call this “urban blight.” They are places where those [...]
What causes an earthquake but a shifting of energy. Your earth is a living being with a heart all its own. Change results, but not always without disruption. Does this not sound familiar? Change is not always peaceful at the human level of awareness. Step into the rocket ship of [...]
Crying can become a habit. The body becomes addicted to the chemicals created when you are grieving. Yes, crying is cathartic and cleansing, but after you have released, it is time to renew. Maintain awareness of your feelings. Do you wish to return to happier days? It is this focus [...]
“Good morning!” said with a cheery smile to a stranger can save a life. So many of you feel cut off from each other, and you are, but only in a physical sense. How simple it is to reconnect. What a gift you are to each other, yet you withhold [...]
Wherever you go, there I AM. Such comforting words. Who or what is this I AM? The Source of your very being. Do you notice that last word? Being. It is who and what you are: existence in its purest form whether or not you have a physical body. You [...]
Had you any idea how much your subconscious thoughts control your emotions and actions, you might change your ways. Ah, but there is the challenge. To change your ways, you must take conscious control of your thoughts. Reprogramming less than helpful thoughts takes deliberate intent and focused attention. How easily [...]
Why do babies cry? The moment they enter the world they express their discomfort in audible ways. Their distress is written on their face. You joke that they are saying, “What have I done?” and this is not far from the truth. What is it that calms them down? When [...]
So many of you want to know about your loved ones on the other side. “Are they okay?” you ask. “Are they happy?” In so asking, you are placing them in a human context. In your world there is okay and not okay. There is happy and sad. You come [...]
Your friends rant and rave. They send you communications full of opinions with which you disagree, yet they want you to pass them along. Why are you friends with such people, you wonder, and the answer is clear: for the lessons they afford you in mastering your emotions and for [...]
What do you call the prayers said at your meals? Some call them “grace.” It is by grace that the sick are healed, that the lost find their way, and that the hopeless find love in their heart. This love is yours for the taking, but you so often miss [...]
