The Daily Way

How easy it is to give away your power.  You give it to doubts.  You give it to fears.  You give it to the mirrors.  This giving away is a habit, and for most humans is far easier than stepping into your Power.  The latter comes with awareness that inside [...]

The whispers in your mind oft go unheard, for you have programmed yourself not to hear them.  “That cannot be true,” you say when the little voice softly tells you the things you most need to hear.  And so you go in search of things outside yourself that you think [...]

“They have their own life to live.”  When have you heard this?  When have you experienced this?  You give your concern, and care, and love to others, and at times they reject you.  This is part of the human experience.  It goes back to the instinct of survival, to think [...]

Purity.  What does this mean?  Picture a beautiful mountain stream, its water flowing over and between the rocks.  You can see all the way to the bottom of this crystal clear water.  You can drink it with no worries of becoming ill.  This is purity.  If you were to look [...]

A smile upon the lips, oh what a difference this makes.  So many remain unaware of the intimate and intricate connection between body, mind, and spirit.  You wish to relax?  Move your lips slightly upward.  This sends an instant signal to your autonomous nervous system.  You do not have to [...]

A blip in eternity.  Yes, that is one way in which to view your challenges.  They come and go, and some you label more serious than others based upon your human consequences.  But what of the consequences to you as a soul?  Does this blip add to your opportunities for [...]

There is no hurry.  You are already there.  Where are you trying to get to with all of your rushing, all of your angst?  That urgent need to do, and go, and be and get is born of the sense of separation you learned as a child from those around [...]

First things first.  How are your priorities?  What tops the list?  Service to others or concerns of the self?  Love above all else or “Do this or else?”  There are no right or wrong answers to these questions.  How you respond, however, determines how you feel inside and how your life [...]

On guard … that is the human way:  to always be ready to defend.  It stems from your caveman days, and is a built-in mechanism to ensure the survival of your species.  It extends into every aspect of your life, this instinctive need to protect and defend.  But there are [...]

What is this concept of self-worth?  It is quite a silly thing, actually, yet you give it all importance.  Does a flower worry about its worth?  Does a weed?  Does a mountain worry about its worth?  Does a tiny pebble?  Does a lion or a kitten?  Then why do you?  [...]

Confidence … is it a good thing or bad?  Neither.  It is a state of knowing Truth and standing tall in that knowing.  When mixed with human pride, confidence takes on a different hue.  How to bring it back to center?  Realize from whence come your gifts, from whence the [...]

What goes up must come down.  It is not just a law of nature, but of the soul in human form.  It is the spirit’s way of seeking balance, of bringing the human back to center.  If your emotions swing too far to one side they will of necessity experience [...]

“The end is near!”  You hear these words and are filled with fear.  Yes, an ending is always near, because existence flows in cycles.  When an ending comes, a new beginning follows immediately.  And so, you could focus upon the end and be filled with angst, or you could also [...]

Do not despair when you encounter bumps in the road.  The path of life is never a smooth one.  Never.  If it had no ups and downs, where would be the learning and the growth?  If you cannot embrace the bumps, then simply take your foot off the accelerator and [...]

A mirror is a point of focus.  You step in front of a mirror with a set intention, to view the body and make a judgment.  Think upon this.  Is it not so?  It is merely for the purpose of judging the body or its adornments.  In many cases, your [...]

This past week we enjoyed the company of Dr. Gary Schwartz and his wife, Rhonda, while Ty and I were passing through Tucson, Arizona.  We enjoyed social time as well as some work with the other side (a blind research reading), and a lecture to his Psych 357 class at the University [...]

Integrity … why is it so important?  Higher choices are always those which are in alignment with Truth.  Lower choices are dissonant.  All aspects of the Higher Self work in harmony to show you what is the highest choice.  The physical self cringes and twinges when decisions, actions, choices, thoughts, [...]

Lazy days with time spent sitting by a river or drifting on a raft.  How often do you enjoy such an experience?  The term “lazy” to some carries a negative feeling accompanied by the thought that you must be doing something or going somewhere.  “Lazy” can just as well carry [...]

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 [...]
