Stretching

The One Key
You put a key in a lock and the door opens. Only one shape fits the hole of the lock. Only one. But you can fiddle with the lock a bit and perhaps force your way in. Are not humans like that? There is one key to true spiritual happiness—to [...]
The All of It
When you pray to your guides and angels, you are praying to God. When you pray to Jesus or Buddha, you are praying to God. When you talk to a friend or a stranger, you are talking to God. When you look in the mirror, you are looking at God. [...]
No Matter What
Zero defects. This is a mentality that allows no room for error. Of course, this depends upon what you consider an error. All standards are set by consciousness. They are not laws set in stone, but set by a group or an individual. Examine your beliefs and why you adhere [...]
Every One of Them
“This is a big day!” you say, and the pulse quickens. Adrenaline rushes through the body, and this you recognize as feeling nervous. What caused this? Your thoughts. Your perception that the events of this day are more important than those of another day have just changed the timbre, the [...]
Selective Hearing
If you would only listen, oh what you would hear. A repetitive sound in the bedroom will keep you awake, will it not? You allow it to distract you and “drive you crazy” to the point where you lie in bed sleepless. This is because you allow your focus to [...]
Balancing Out
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 [...]

Let it Flow

You want to change the world. Do you honestly think you can change everybody? First examine why you want to do so. If it is because there is not enough love, then you are on the right track. But be cautioned: You need not touch every life—only one. You are [...]
Paying Attention
Seeming coincidences are actual events meant to get your attention. This word of yours (“coincidence”) tends to downplay or dismiss their importance. “Oh, that was only a coincidence!” you say. Oh yes? Well, why did it happen, and more importantly, why did you notice? It happened so that you would [...]
Choose Your Moments
Sorrow only lasts a moment, as does every emotion you feel, for all you have is this moment. It is your choice, using your free will, how many moments of sorrow or joy you will link together. Some of you get stuck adding one moment of sorrow to the next. [...]
Unscattered
Scattered and smothered … this is how you feel at times, do you not? The mind goes running off in all directions, and then the body does the same. Take a moment in these moments of mental frenzy and notice your breathing. It is likely quite shallow and as erratic [...]
