Strategy is a word you use for a detailed plan. Do you not realize that your Creator has a strategy for you? You are to awaken however slowly to the Truth that you are not merely a human being, but a being far more powerful—a spirit-being … a child of [...]
Bury your resentments. They do you only harm, keeping you from expressing your true nature. So many of you hold onto negative emotions as if they were your friends—as if you could not survive without them. Hear us now: You would literally THRIVE without them.It is only the survival instinct [...]
Each day is a fresh start. As you open your eyes, think not back upon what has gone before, but rejoice in yet another opportunity to create anew. If you find yourself filled with worry, then you are holding onto false illusions of yourself and the situations around you. Surrender! [...]

Beauty abounds, if you would only open your eyes. Beauty is, indeed, in the eye of the beholder. What is beauty to one person—and yes, even to one culture—may not be considered beauty to another. All of life is like this—subject to perceptions and beliefs. Each individual focus of consciousness [...]
There are many fish in the ocean—creatures of many sizes and shapes. Some are dangerous, some benign. These fish are analogous with your thoughts. They swim through your mind –some dangerous, in that they can cause harm to self and to others; some benign, in that they can do good [...]
From Suzanne: As happens quite often, I heard the opening lines of Sanaya’s message today and couldn’t help but think, “Where is this going?” And as always happens, the words continued and I ended up shaking my head in wonder at this process—the process of attunement and communication with such [...]
All of you are so very interconnected. You breathe the very air that has circulated through billions of bodies, yet it is with the spirit that you are even more closely entwined. Where do you draw the boundary between two focuses of Consciousness? Is it at the perimeter which you [...]
Carry on your tasks of the day as if nothing were wrong. “But how can I do this?” you ask, “when around me my world is falling apart?” Do you see the angst you create with this very thought? It is there you place your focus, and in this way [...]
Note from Suzanne: Yesterday while running, I was thinking about the earthquake and tsunami which had just occurred in Japan, and I couldn’t help but hurt for so many people who were affected. I suddenly received an insight into how to look at yet another seeming tragedy in our world. [...]
So many of you hunger … You hunger for friendship. You hunger for peace. You hunger for love. You walk around as if a starving person, picking up crumbs of what you hunger for wherever you find them, ever grateful to those who drop them. Open your eyes! The crumbs [...]
It matters not how many birthdays you have. What matters is how you fill those days. Do you use your time in this body to love? Do you use this time to grow? If you see a new wrinkle, do you bemoan the fact that the body is changing, or [...]
Zippers … two sides of hard metal with teeth, that when joined together bring closure and firmly hold two pieces of cloth as one. The teeth fit together as a puzzle, perfectly joined one after another, yet if not aligned properly at the start, there is no closure. There is [...]
Alight you shineWith a fire so brightThat all can feel itEven had they no sight.This is what happensWhen God’s love you know.And through your actionsHis Light you do show.Hide not this Light,But let it shineAnd all will then senseThat this Light is Divine.All have this Light,But in some it is [...]
There are vibrations all around you. Many of them you perceive through the physical senses, but many go unperceived. Think of one whose senses are a bit dulled. He hears not a certain pitch, and for him, this sound does not exist. It is not part of his reality, but [...]
What is imagination, but the creative use of the mind. What is the world in which you exist, but the creative use of the Mind of God—of Spirit. You were born of the imagination of the Divine Mind—a thought which became an image, which took form and then became matter. [...]
Remove “mine” and “yours” and what is left, but One. All is One, but it is the fact that you perceive differentiation when you look about you that that causes misunderstanding. Does one finger of the hand say, “That finger is yours, and this finger is mine”? Perhaps, but are [...]
The heart is the focus of love. The heart in the physical body is naught but a mechanical pump, but without this pump, the vital nutrients and oxygen which the physical body requires would not circulate via the bloodstream and feed the hungry body. You could not exist without this [...]
Night turns into day, and day into night. The cycles of life are everywhere. You have your four seasons, your tides, your monthly changes, your birth and death. Yes, this, too, is a cycle. Have you found anything in life which does not experience rebirth … recycling? Even your scientists [...]
Note from Suzanne: Sanaya has spoken about the theme of this post in the past, but we can always use a reminder of this message again. Blessed are the meek. Why do you think this is so? Meekness is not weakness. To be meek means in your language timidity mixed [...]
Hansel and Gretel—two fairy tale figures who lived in the woods. Brother and sister in a gingerbread house. Is this fantasy? No more fantasy than buying into the illusion that you are powerless to create your environment. If you wished to live in a house of gingerbread you could do [...]
What is time, but a construct of your environment to aid you in identifying experiences in a linear fashion. You can look upon experiences which you have already had and call that your past. You can imagine experiences yet to come and call that your future, but all you truly [...]
Peace is a gift—a glittering treasure like a golden coin you find buried in the sand. You pick it up and think, “Oh, look what I have found! I am so lucky!” But this gift of peace lies hidden within you always. It is part of the game of life [...]
You hear the sounds of trucks on the road. This is the sound of busy people doing their work so early in the morning. You need these workers with their discipline to keep your society operating. Do you not realize that you require the same discipline to maintain your awareness [...]
Memories of bygone days … you focus on these, remembering better times … happier times when you were younger in years, more youthful in your thoughts, with a body that moved more gracefully. What is the matter with now? Nothing at all. You have created this “now.” It is all [...]
Bananas hanging in a bunch …This is what you have for lunch.A good thing that you did not eatSomething fattening and sweet.What goes inside your body staysTo affect your mood and mind for days.For what they say is really true:What you eat, it becomes you.All is energy, you seeVibrating thoughts [...]
You never stop learning. The doors of the School of Life are always open. So many lessons are you sent, but the curriculum is always the same. The subject is how to be the loving soul that you are at all times. Think of every situation in which you could [...]
The human body serves as an antenna for the waves of energy and information in which you at all times are swimming. This is why you want to keep the spine straight while in meditation. But understand that you are not just a receiver of energetic information, but a transmitter [...]
Confine your troubles to a box. Put them there for safekeeping. Put a lock on it and peer inside from time to time when you need a reminder of why you came to this life on earth. Place a label on the box: “My life lessons”, then sit back and [...]
Humility is a virtue. Treasure it. There is nothing to be gained by thinking you are more special than any other. You are unique, indeed, for all are endowed with unique abilities and talents, but all are equally special. Judge not another based upon appearances, actions, or lack of actions. [...]
