What does it mean to be a Light? Sailors understand the power of a beacon guiding them home and keeping them from shoals and hazardous rocks. A light serves many purposes: It heals, it guides, it warms, it illuminates, it causes things to grow. Is it any wonder you are [...]
Does your earth stop revolving? Does the sun fail to shine? Then why would you stop growing? You are here for the endless experiences, one learning opportunity after another. They may not all be pleasant and they may not all be painful. In fact, if you are honest, you will [...]
Alcohol, drugs, and food—initially you use these in excess to feel better. Eventually they make you feel worse. The unconscious human is in an ongoing battle with the self, constantly seeking pleasure and pushing away pain. You need not do anything to excess to realize that this constant seeking of [...]
“Follow me” … words said by a leader. And what is it that causes others to do so? It is magnetism—a confidence and inner light that says, “This one can be trusted. I wish to do as they do and I feel safe in doing so.” Is it your head [...]
Service to others … the grandest of callings. Does this mean you give up your other work if service is not involved there? Not at all. We daresay that any job can contain great elements of service when you see it as a means to such. Did you know that [...]
Have we not told you that you are the Light? You may appear to yourselves to be solid, but we see you as individual lights. Some appear more bright than others. Imagine how you look to us when you band together to turn up the light. Can you picture the [...]
You speak of recharging your batteries. There is much similarity with this and clearing your energetic field. How often are you around others who are not well or are quite sad? How often do you mix with others who speak negatively? These types of situations drain your batteries far more [...]
The connection with your guides and higher self may not always be evident. There are a number of reasons why you may not sense us. Perhaps the body is tired or energetically blocked. Perhaps you need to be reminded of the difference between being in the flow and “making the [...]
“Not good enough. Not good enough.” Do you not recognize this as programming? These are not messages from the soul. Spirit does not pull you down in this way. Only human egos do this. To think that you are not good enough is learned behavior which becomes an ingrained pattern [...]
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 [...]
