Peter Piper picked a peck of what?  Pickled peppers.  You remember this phrase you learned how many decades ago as if it were this morning.  Why is that?  For the arrangement of the letters.  "Alliteration" you call it.  And so, we give you a bit of alliteration to play with [...]

You have a button you push and it replies, “That was easy.”  The human is always looking for the easy way out, but life on earth in human form is not like that.  Were it easy, every soul would be clamoring to come here.  Of course, we jest.  Souls make [...]

You are the director of your life.  Each choice you make determines the next act.  But did you know you have a production Team?  Like any good stage show, they remain off to the side, hidden behind the curtain, but the show could not go on without them.  Do you [...]

A vessel can get off course from time to time, tossed about by waves and wind.  This is why it is valuable to have a star to guide you and a course laid out.  Minutely detailed tracks on a vast ocean are not necessary.  When your star cannot be seen, [...]

Is it your imagination that your loved one visited you in a dream or at your bedside?  What is imagination, but a type of dream state where consciousness creates experiences.  All you see before you in the physical world, in a sense, is your imagination, created by Consciousness.  All that [...]

Why do you care what others think?  Because you are human.  Humans judge and humans form opinions, and humans compare, for the human lives in a world or relativity.  But thanks to that dance of opposites, through trial and error you slowly awaken.  Bit by bit you remember, “Ah, yes, [...]

When a pattern repeats itself, you call this a fractal.  You see it in your lightning bolts, and your cabbages, and your river deltas.  The existence of fractals is a representation of the principle “as above, so below.”  In this manner, you are a fractal—an extension … a perfect representation [...]

So many “shoulds” and “musts” and “have tos.”  Relax and be.  No needs, no worries.  “But I must eat!  I must put shelter over my head and my family.”  Yes, you are correct.  And beyond that come the shoulds and needs and have tos, do they not?  This is excess, [...]

Yours is the story of all other human beings:  You are born into a body and you pass from that body. In between those two book ends you experience pain and laughter, sorrows and joys.  There is not a one of you who is not fully human and at the [...]

Another brings you a stunning message that is just what you needed to hear.  It helps you with a goal or it answers a burning question you have had.  How did that happen?  Was it merely coincidence?  You are not isolated.  You are one shining jewel in a web of [...]

What do you do when you are afraid?  Step away from your fears.  How do you do this?  Become an impartial witness.  Take on a different role.  Step across from the role you are playing as the fearful one and see yourself in full costume. Observe every thought, every gesture, [...]

Do you notice the miracles around you?  They are everywhere.  Things for which there is no other explanation than the hand of a Force far greater than the human hand or mind at work—a Force that no computer could create.  Yes, man is intelligent, creative, kind and cruel.  Man has [...]

Yours is a story that began before time.  Yours is a story with no end.  Do not think in terms of beginnings and endings, but in terms of sheer existence … of being.  Of being what?  Awareness itself.  Before time begins each morning in your story, the very first thing [...]

You have a saying that is quite worthy of remembering: “If it were easy, then everyone would be doing it.”  Loving kindness in the face of anger.  Unconditional love in the face of hatred.  Why should you bother?  If it were easy, everyone would be doing it.  Do not allow [...]

Rage, rage, from where does it come?  The potential for this explosive anger lies in every human.  Blow up a balloon beyond its capacity to hold air and it will explode with a loud bang.  What are you holding inside?  What anger have you fueled but not released in a [...]

When is enough enough?  If you feel an urge for more, more, more, and that urge cannot be satisfied for long, then we urge you to stop and breathe.  Is that urge from ego or from the soul?  You need do or have nothing to be enough.  You are good [...]

You know that one you love is dying.  It is a challenging time, for you have spent a lifetime thinking that death is the end.  What if you knew your loved one would soon be more present than ever, as close as your breath any time you think of them?  [...]

Fear and doubt. Fear and doubt. When, oh when, Will you let them out? Now that we have your attention, notice how often these two elements run your life without your awareness.  What would you do if you knew you could not fail?  What is holding you back?  Fear and [...]

There is the story of John, and the story of Mary, and the story of Ruth, and the story of Bill, and the story of Jose, and the story of Maria, and the story of … We could go on and name one million names, but none would be anything [...]

You must live with your choices.  That is why you are here in the world of this or that, yes or no, do it or don’t.  “But I did something, and now everyone will …” Everyone will what?  Judge you?  Know that there is a human side to you as [...]

Love never dies.  It is created and created through experience, through feelings and emotions, through beauty, through the story of you.  A thing cannot be created from something it is not.  Do you understand this?  You cannot create a cake without its ingredients.  You cannot create something from nothing.  Love [...]

Like plugging a cord into a socket, you can energize and revitalize yourself.  Imagine a shaft of white light surrounding you from as far above as possible and anchoring you into the core of the earth.  Along this bright beam are nodes—points of light that connect you to the various [...]
