Sweet or Sour
Pickles … a strange word to hear in your meditation … but what are they? Fine vegetables mixed with a bit of vinegar or perhaps a bit of sugar, to create a pungent taste which some enjoy. All beings have different tastes. Some like sour, some sweet. These you derive [...]
Your Role in the Drama
How many roles do you play? Count them some time. You may be surprised. Do you consider yourself a mother or father? A daughter or son? A boss, a teacher, a retired person of leisure? A caretaker? These roles you play do change from day to day and moment by [...]
Love and Light
All colors become one in white light. Why do you speak of love and light together? Love is all there is, and all of the colors you perceive are held within the light. You speak of the "spark of the Divine" within you as Light, and it is the perfect [...]
Character Building
Note from Suzanne: In the past couple of weeks a group of friends and I have been discussing what may be considered some of the more "far out" New Age concepts. It has been an interesting process of discernment (how does it FEEL?) as we stretch our beliefs and comfort [...]
Crawl Under the Blankets
You can practice awareness and loving-kindness every moment, making every moment of your existence sacred. Be ever mindful of your thoughts. Are they as high as they can be, or do they drag you down? Are you seeing your brothers and sisters with compassion and empathy, or as separate beings [...]
Go With The Flow
Change comes slowly for some and like a speeding train for others, but always it arrives. All of life is about the process of change. Those who accept this and adapt do thrive. Those who fight it and dig in their heels do suffer. There is only one thing that [...]
A New Outlook
Do you feel trapped in your circumstances? You can always run away. "Oh, I could not do that!" you say, for you are aware of circumstances. This shows you have a heart. You do not wish to hurt others by taking selfish action. You also fear change. These thoughts and [...]
Climbing out of a Rut
What happens when you get in a rut? You try to dig yourself out. You spin your wheels, getting no traction, and you just dig in deeper. You get discouraged and give up, and there you do remain, falling deeper and deeper into despair. You need a lift out. How [...]
Poem #408 At Your Beck and Call
Gather your wits about you … What exactly does this mean? To make sense of what you see And the spaces in between. You do never know as much As the mind will make you think And so for far more wisdom From Spirit's font do you now drink. [...]
The Heart of the Soul
Straight to the heart, a jolt flows, making you start. Why this connection between your heart and others', when the heart is just a pump—a physical organ? Because, my friend, it is not the physical heart that jumps—it is the heart of the soul, which just happens to have its [...]
All There Is
Love is all there is. Love is all there is. Love is all there is. Your famous Beatles did sing these phrases, did they not? Is this but a trite phrase in overuse or a spiritual truth? You live in a world with fear, hatred, and evil, so how can [...]
Fine Tuning
“Make me your instrument” you pray. You ask this with the sincere desire to serve, and this is most laudable, but please realize that in order to be the perfect instrument, you must learn the art of surrender. The will is a wonderful gift from the Creator, but it does [...]
Hills and Mountains
There is no magic pill to take away your pain … no instant solution to your ills and problems. Why do you think you are here, but to build your character by surmounting your problems? If the road was always flat and straight, you would grow indolent and lazy … [...]
Always Linked
People who come in and out of your life, if only for a brief moment, are there for your growth—your soul’s evolution. Some you may know a lifetime. Others you may fixate upon for a few years, or perhaps a shorter period, but oh, the changes they do bring about [...]
Your Inner Voice
That voice you hear in your head is your own, but it is also the Voice of God. Have we not told you countless times that there is only One Mind? You seem surprised when after much effort in the form of prayer and meditation and asking for guidance suddenly [...]
Is All Just Science?
Note from Suzanne: I just finished reading a wonderful book called, “My Stroke of Insight” by Jill Bolte Taylor. When the left hemisphere of her brain was severely damaged by stroke, Dr. Taylor, a neurologist, experienced a different reality through her right hemisphere. She experienced herself as “fluid”. She experienced [...]
Enjoy the Journey
Disillusionment follows revelation, for after there is great excitement, the pendulum does swing back to the other pole. This you know as the Law of Rhythm. Be not discouraged when excitement turns to doubt. The voices you hear are real. The knowledge you gain is useful. Continue your learning, but [...]
Change and Growth
Be prepared for change, for change is coming. It is the Law of Life. Everything changes in perfect order. Life is about growth. Can you stop a plant from growing? Only by removing Life. You are the same as the plants and trees which arise from a seed and grow [...]
Competition
Competition … is it a good thing? It is if it serves to bring out the best in the human form and thereby reveal the greatness of that which impels the human form—pure Spirit. It is when competition serves only the ego, that those involved in the competition do lose [...]
Passion and Purpose
Each one has a purpose. It is up to the individual to discern what it is and why you have chosen this experience in human form. The purpose of man in general is to learn to love more fully … to express your true nature, which is love. It is [...]
This Proving Ground
Do you know that you come here for a reason? This is a proving ground—a realm in which you arrive knowing that you are spirit, but then do deliberately forget this. It seems strange, but do you not see the perfection? In order to remember what you have forgotten, you [...]
The Mirror of Life
Upon reflection, you realize that you were wrong. Upon reflection, the hurt you caused another is shown to you. In another’s eyes what do you see, but your reflection? Do you not see that all of you suffer the same pain, the same grief, the same emotions, the same joy? [...]
Let Your Tears Flow
Weeping willow trees … their branches hang limply. Why do they weep? It is as if all of the strength has gone out of their limbs. Do you not feel the same way at times? Crying can leave the physical body weak and limp, but it is a cleansing process. [...]
Poem #406 Visitors in the Night
Visitors in the night …Are they real?They seem so closeTheir breath you can feel.You reach out to touch themAnd then they vanishBut their memory nowYou cannot banish.Treasure these momentsThese elusive dreamsThe ones you question,“Was that what it seems?”Yes, my friend,‘Twas a loved one’s kissA way to acknowledgeThey know you do [...]
A Simple Recipe
Do not underestimate the power of love. It is a healing force beyond anything in the material world. As the highest vibration—lo, the only vibration from which all arises—it can be used to move mountains, as you have been told by one who learned to use this power fully.Harness the [...]
