When at last you think you know it all, think again. And then be willing to admit that you, of yourself, know nothing. It is this attitude that will allow you to continue growing. Growing in what way? In your ability to love as does the Source of All That [...]
“From this moment on” … may this be your mantra for today. Do not drag yourself through the mud for past transgressions or regrettable decisions. Apply what you know now to be Truth and do your best. “But I was doing my best then!” you cry, and we ask you, were you? If so, [...]
Why are you here? This is what so many wish to know. You are here because God wanted to experience this existence as you. Do you realize the miracle that you are? Physically, you are one in a trillion. Metaphysically speaking, you are one … one with God and [...]
When you feel as if you cannot go on after a loss, know that you can. You are still here for a reason. Pain is part of the process of grief. Few escape it, but it is also part of the human belief system and need not be quite so unbearable. How [...]
You recover from your excesses. At the dawn of a new day, you say, “Never again.” At the dawn of a new year you say, “I am starting anew.” What does it matter if you enjoyed a bit of excess? It matters not a bit if you learned nothing from it. Seek balance. [...]
How you view an event is completely up to you. Does a tragedy—or what you interpret as a tragedy—propel you into action or lethargy, anger or compassion? Why are there so many choices? For yours is the realm of duality, of polar opposites. The whole point of this existence is that [...]
When you are harried or rushed, life can easily pass you by. What does this mean? Life is ongoing all around you in this now-moment. Imagine yourself in a car. The illusion is that you are moving past the scenery—going, going, going here and there, when in fact, in every moment you are [...]
Grief is a process. This you know. It has certain stages. You cannot escape grief when you have lost one who is dear to you, and why would you want to? Yes, we know: because it feels so very awful. The pain at times seems unbearable. Do you not see [...]
Simon Says. Do you remember that game? Any words that came after “Simon says” you were supposed to do, and you did them. What a silly game, yet you had fun playing it. For a while you subdued your free will and did whatever you were told. Now you have grown up. Who is Simon [...]
“Is there a Hell?” so many of you ask, and the answer is yes, but it is not as you envision. It is not a place, but a state of mind. And no one is trapped there, but remains there as a result of their own thoughts. “Not an uplifting topic today,” [...]
Earthly responsibilities can easily push you out of balance. What do we mean by this? You can become so overwhelmed with your earthly tasks that you forget that you are also fully spirit. When you fail to pay attention to that side of you which is peace and love, you become [...]
Get yourself out of the way when you are having difficulties accomplishing a task. It is the ego which causes blockages. Always remind yourself, “I by myself do nothing. I as a part of the Greater Self have limitless power.” Take less credit for your accomplishments and give credit where [...]
Why does a mountain evoke so much power? Why the desire to be "on top of the world" --to stand at the very peak and be higher than all around you? It is because you are that mountain. You are limitless in scope, size, and view. You tower over all [...]
All of life exists along a spectrum of vibration of Consciousness. The higher the vibration, the closer you come to the experience of bliss—of perfection—of the totality of God. Just as in the physical world you can only perceive a limited segment of the spectrum of electromagnetic energy, light, and [...]
Was anyone else out there raised by Depression-era parents? Growing up, if we were lucky enough to go to the movies, forget about spending money on popcorn! I'm not a penny-pincher these days, but I realize my parents' attitude toward money has had a lingering effect in some areas, such [...]
When all you have left are pictures, oh how you cry. You feel that you only have memories, but there you err. Your loved ones are still with you. They have left you in physical form for a while, but what they have left you cannot be destroyed. They have left you [...]
Forgetfulness. Where do the thoughts go which you are trying to remember? They are still there. Thoughts are energy. They do not go away. You must merely place the intention of matching the frequency of the concept you are trying to remember and send that intention outward. It will catch the intended thought as a [...]
It is all very simple, this thing you call life, yet you make it so difficult. There is love and there is fear. That is all. Everything you do is a choice between the two. How hard is it to choose love? It only becomes hard when you let your [...]
"Our world is your world," those on the other side tell us. "We can't reach out and touch you, but we surround you with the love that we feel all around us here." I've had the opportunity to truly appreciate these words from spirit as Ty and I begin our [...]
Yes, celebrate the successes: The operation went well. The talk was well received. The family visit passed without incident. You arrived safely at your destination. The prayers worked well. Now you can relax. Yes, relax, but do not stop praying. We say this not to indicate that once again you need worry. We [...]
In darkness you live, stumbling about, groping for truth, groping to find your way. You turn a corner and see a bit of light. It is refreshing, full of hope. It feels so very different. You no longer can settle for darkness, and so you stumble on, but not quite so blindly any longer, [...]
Note: Greetings from New Zealand! Ty and I just arrived for a 3 week trip we have been talking about for decades. I will be making the occasional post about our adventures on my Facebook page, and if you're interested in more details and photos, Ty will be blogging regularly. [...]
When the world seems to be moving faster than you are, begin with deep breathing. Slow down your racing thoughts just enough that the whisper of the Voice of Spirit can get through. “Relax,” it says. There is never any need for worry when you turn over all results to [...]
Imagine a crystal ball, clear as can be. Is it a tool of magic? Not at all. It is a point of focus, just as can be a candle, a mirror, a flower, or any other object real or imagined of your choosing. The point of such an object is [...]
You cannot fail. You can only fail to understand how you fit into the grand scheme of things. If you think this earthly world is the only world, then you will fail to see love all around you. If you think that physical matter is really solid, then you will [...]
When others do not act as you wish, do you grow frustrated? Angry? Are you their puppet master? We do not wish to be critical, merely to make a point: You cannot control others’ actions or thoughts. Ego would like you to be in control of all around you, including [...]
Act as if you are _____ and you will be. Have you not heard this? Fill in the blank with whatever you wish. Your entire life you are acting out roles, so when you have a new role you would like to play … a new way of being you [...]
Yes, you can strive for the things you want and think you need. There is nothing wrong with that. Have we not told you that right and wrong are human concepts? All simply is. You give it meaning. And so, you give meaning to a goal and you go for [...]
