The Daily Way

“Have mercy on me.”  How often have you heard this?  But today we say, have mercy on yourself.  You are far too demanding, far too critical, far too unbending.  It is the human way to expect so much of yourself, to expect perfection, when those who love you—both in human [...]

Disappointment is a human emotion.  It comes from not getting or doing something that you expected or foresaw, but that indicates a future predicated upon many variables.  Those in your sister realm do not experience disappointment.  We remain in the now-moment and see the many possibilities.  We have what you [...]

Pain in the physical body results from disease or a wound.  Pain in the emotional body results from dis-ease and emotional wounds which have not been healed.  All require attention or they will fester.  Do not ignore emotional pain.  Face it head on.  Ask it, “What are you trying to [...]

I’ll show HIM!”  When have you heard this?  When have you thought or said this?  And what was the motive?  In each case there is a sense of righteousness that one’s actions or thoughts must be heard or validated.  Recognize the human side at work here.  See the inherent sense [...]

Are your loved ones who have passed with you as you say, “24/7”?  Not exactly.  They are with you as you need them and as you think of them.  It is a sharing of consciousness, a blending of energy which accompanies you just as they did whilst in human form.  [...]

To do something halfway is to only put half of your heart into it.  Half-hearted.  This means that the desire or motive is lacking.  And when you put your whole heart into something?  Why, then there is nothing that can hold you back.  At a subtle level, others recognize half-heartedness.  [...]

Compassion … Can you ever have too much?  Compassion says, “I know what you are going through, and even if I cannot change your situation, I can send you love.”  Compassion says, “I understand that you do not know your true nature as love or you would not behave as [...]

You all just want to be loved.  Why do you think your world is in the condition it is?  So many equate power with love.  They do not know they are love inside, and so they experience fear.  This manifests in ways that are often less than loving.  What if [...]

A bear hug.  Could you not use one right now?  What is it about connecting with another face to face and heart to heart?  Within yourself you are whole, but in connecting with another you experience yet another level of wholeness—Love experiencing itself.  This awakens within you the awareness that [...]

It is tiring at times to maintain focus.  Why is this so?  For the mind wants to chatter.  It is like a little child filled with curiosity who speaks incessantly and wanders everywhere it can in search of new wonders.  Is it any wonder you find it difficult to quiet [...]

And so, you have a friend who has done something that bothers you.  In fact, it has you to the point where you feel you must say something.  Isn’t that interesting?  Why do you feel you must step in?  Why do you feel you must set them straight?  Can you [...]

Do not grow discouraged when one you are with does not think or react as you do.  This is the perfect example of the yin and the yang.  Together you make up wholeness.  Look at your individual perspectives.  You are convinced that your way is right and the other is [...]

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 [...]

Yes, the soul of another can visit you in your dreams.  It can visit you when you are awake.  The soul has no bounds.  We are not speaking only of the souls of those who have passed.  The souls of those in human form wander about at night as well.  [...]

Never underestimate the power of love.  You have a saying to never say never, but when it comes to love, there are no rules.  Rules are human things.  Love is of the spirit.  You are human and spirit, but so many do not realize this.  And so, you need your [...]

Those who need reassurance need love more than ever, for what is lacking is a lack of trust.  What is it they do not trust?  That all is in perfect order.  And why do they not see this?  For they are focused on the human level.  You walk in two [...]

Everyone comes into your life for a reason.  Even the briefest of encounters holds meaning.  How often do you pass another without acknowledgment … without realizing the gift that has just passed you by.  The gift is in the opportunity to turn up the light within you and within them.  [...]

How many times in your life do you face what you perceive as a challenge?  You feel as if you are being judged, and if other humans are involved, then most likely you are.  And what of it?  If you can face this test and others’ scrutiny with the knowledge [...]

There is no sacrifice too big when it comes to serving another.  Have not there been those you call heroes who sacrificed their physical lives for another?  You call this “the ultimate sacrifice,” and indeed it may seem that way for those left behind, but for the one who passed, [...]

What is it that you criticize in others?  What is it that elicits at times a derisive laugh?  Could it be that you have the same trait?  Could it be that in focusing your attention on that other’s actions the ego is diverting attention from your own?  “Oh, no!” you [...]

Does it become tiresome to be around those who speak often of their ailments, aches, and pains?  Yes, of course, feel compassion for those who prolong their problems by giving them power.  And now how about your own wounds … those silent ones you carry around in your emotional body?  [...]

Yes, your loved ones send you signs from the other side.  They whisper in your ear, but you do not hear them, and so they manipulate your physical world in such a way that you will notice.  Did you see that butterfly land on a finger?  Did you see that [...]

Why do humans lie?  Most often it is a protective measure.  We are not going to tell you an action is right or wrong, for there are only learning opportunities, but as with most actions, motive is all-important.  Why you waver from the truth is all-important for the soul’s growth.  [...]
