You don’t have to resonate with everyone. You cannot, for just as some notes on a piano do not sound harmonious when played together, you each have a unique tone. However, all notes make up the wholeness of what you call music, and within that wholeness, everything is valued. Play [...]
Appreciation is the greatest form of flattery. You are focusing on some attribute of another that has been helpful. In calling this to the other’s attention, you are being helpful to them in return. You are showing them that they matter. Do you feel disconnected at times? At the deepest [...]
Find a penny, pick it up. Now, do not simply wish for good luck. Notice the location of the penny. Notice what you were thinking about—or who—just before you found it. Notice the year of its production. Now you are catching on. Signs from Heaven are delivered in meaningful ways, [...]
Self worth. You use the word as if it is something people must gain, as if it is a gift. It is an unnecessary word when you remember that you are all emanations of the one Light of Consciousness. It makes no sense to speak of worthy or unworthy, for [...]
Change disdain to compassion and see how that changes things for you. You cannot know what another has gone through or is facing in the moment you look upon them. Yet, you have likely experienced your own trials. This is the source of compassion. To wear another’s shoes is to [...]
You read your headlines and gasp. Of course you do. Look at the things humans do to each other. Now you face a choice. Get sucked into the drama or see it for what it is. It is an opportunity to create a different ending from a place outside the [...]
Special days in a loved one’s life cause you to ask for special favors. “Send me a sign, please,” you ask, and those in spirit will do their best to comply. For them, each day is special, for they see you and follow your thoughts and actions far more than [...]
Darkness. It is the absence of light, not a thing unto itself. You can add light to a dark room, but you cannot add more darkness. What to do when all seems bleak? Turn up the light. You control this light. Yes, read these words again. The light within you [...]
There are always surprises when you realize you are part of one big web. If you were a sole operator, you could predict every outcome, but you are a soul operator—part of an intricate system of Light in which all is connected. You only think you act in isolation. You [...]
You say the mind wanders as if it is a thing. The brain is constantly processing sensations, thoughts, and feelings that arise from the One Field of Awareness. You are aware of these and put your attention on one after another without using your will to focus the attention on [...]
It is quite easy to get caught up in the story of your life. “What else is there?” you ask when trying to imagine life without the drama. There is simply being. This is a state you knew quite well when first you entered the body. You looked about you [...]
Here is a map. You can see the roads lined out quite clearly and you start down one with a known destination. And what if another destination has not yet been discovered? What if it is there but there is not yet a path? Could you not miss it? Might [...]
“But we have nothing in common!” you say when referring to another whose interests and beliefs may differ from yours, and there you err. You have humanity in common. You grieve, you cry, you hurt. You celebrate, you rejoice, you congratulate. The pains and pleasures of being human may at [...]
Love is all that matters. This may seem a nonsensical statement to those who are worried about putting food on the table and paying bills. This we understand. What we wish you to understand is that there are two ways with which to view your life: as a human, who [...]
Circular movements represent the shape of creation. All arises from the void and returns again to silence. All is vibration. You arose from the mind of the Divine Mind, beginning as pure spirit and to Spirit you will return. You experience what you know as birth and death, but these [...]
Pick a penny off the floor. How did it get there when nothing was there before? And then pennies begin to appear in other strange places. How can this be? Your world is not as solid as you think. If angels can appear when needed, could we not just as [...]
It is easy to become discouraged when you read your headlines. You work to bring more love into your world. You do your best to be the presence of love, to see only goodness, and in less than one minute a single focus of ignorance brings pain to many. One [...]
It is all about the connection. God could have remained alone. God knows only love, but there is something engendered through connecting that cannot be experienced until experienced. You can love yourself fully. You can enjoy your alone time, but to expand the heart outward is a pleasure unto itself. [...]
A long journey begins with a single step. Do not worry about the distance you have to travel. Be aware only of being. You are. You, at another level, are neither here nor there, and you exist not in time, but in the timeless state of being. How does this [...]
“But why would we come back for more?” you ask, and the answer is right before your eyes. When you enjoy a certain series of dramas on your television, do you not come to know the characters so well that they feel like family? Do you not want to know [...]
