The Daily Way

What is exciting to you may not be the same for others.  That is okay.  Each of you, as unique expressions of the one Light of Consciousness, is here for your own experiences.  Yes, it is enjoyable when you walk with those who share the same viewpoint and passions, but [...]

Balance is the key.  What goes up does come down. When you are out of balance, you know it.  How to find this oft-elusive state of equilibrium?  Set the intention to be more aware of your state at any moment.  Too high?  Too low?  Harness the thoughts and move more [...]

Blessed are the meek.  This is not a sign of weakness.  Aggression as well as defensiveness come from separation.  You have choices in every moment:  to see yourself as only human or part of a collective Mind, Mind, Mind.  All there is are experiences arising in this Mind, no matter [...]

Life has a rhythm to it, an order.  It may seem chaotic at times, but eventually, it plays out in a way that you can see the cycles, the beats, the order.  If there were no Intelligence beneath all that you experience, you might have reason to fear, but there [...]

Not everything is a sign from your loved ones.  In your desire to know they are around, the temptation to assign meaning to that which has no significance in the moment can occur.  Does this mean you are not connected?  Not at all.  If the event caused you to think [...]

You have your favorite phrases … words that when heard bring your beloved to mind.  Yes, they have crossed the veil, but they are always with you.  “How can this be?” you want to know when you cannot see or touch them.  You are far more than your body.  Their [...]

Muscles are designed to be used.  When you use them regularly and work them a bit, they become firm and even stronger.  The same is true with any skill.  If it falls into disuse through lack of attention, why, of course you will have to exercise it to regain your [...]

You are creative machines, if we may use the word in the sense of something that produces one thing after another.  You need not always take action with the hands, for your very thoughts are creative.  Do you not realize this?  If you look upon another and see something less [...]

You never know where life will take you.  You have a slight idea.  You hold a map in your hand and make a plan, but detours come.  New turns appear and you face choices.  You meet others along the way and they invite you, “Come along!”  So many ways your [...]

Nowhere are you more stuck in method acting, where you identify with the role and forget you are the actor-soul, than with your family of the childhood.  The friends with whom you surround yourself as you awaken from the slumber of play-acting allow you to roll around in the remembrance [...]

One you love is gone, or so you think.  You miss their presence.  You wander through rooms they used to inhabit.  Do you know they are still here?  With or without a body, they, like you, exist.  This is what you have forgotten—all of you who identify so strongly with [...]

Mothers.  Whether or not you got along well with yours, there is a bond that cannot be denied.  You shared a body for a while.  Her food was your food.  Perhaps this gives you an idea of the concept of oneness.  You as humans share the body of one Source.  [...]

Oh, that little voice inside.  You have learned from experience that when you listen to it and act upon its beneficial guidance, life flows more smoothly.  And what does this tell you?  First, it has always been with you.  Second, you can rely upon it.  Third, it is far more [...]

To walk a mile in another’s shoes is a most excellent practice for gaining understanding.  It is hard to imagine what another is going through unless you have shared the experience.  You have your regrets for things you have done.  Do not expend too much energy on regrets.  Such experiences [...]

“I’m not lovable” some of you say. What a disservice you do to yourself and your higher Self and to all those around you who are missing out on the higher frequency vibration you brought here to share.  You are dimming your own light by believing this nonsense.  Yes, a [...]

“I’ll scratch your back, you scratch mine.”  There is a give-and-take in relationships that helps to maintain balance.  A back-scratch is most pleasant.  It is easy to give.  It is equally pleasant to receive.  Not all of life is so easy, but it is painfully apparent when there is an [...]

You crave love, yet you push it away.  What is going on here?  The soul says, “Here we are.  Let us feel the connection we know as love.  It is so delicious.”  The human says, “I could get hurt.  I have been burned before.  I am not worthy.”  Can you [...]

What do you do when you have a certain understanding of what you know as Truth and others do not?  What do you do when others are operating under a belief system gained from what others have told them instead of the personal experience of touching the very hem of [...]

When you live with someone or spend a lot of time in another’s presence, you are likely to pick up their energy as likely as you are to pick up a cold.  Yes, thoughts and emotions are contagious.  When one around you is grumpy, it is easy for you to [...]

Why are you not aware of your unseen helpers most of the time?  For you are having the human experience, and this is where your focus is.  Imagine Life as a buffet.  You normally do not pile your plate with appetizers, main course, and dessert all at once.  You focus [...]

What is the meaning of this word, “still”?  In a world of time and space, it refers to that which is ongoing.  A thing existed in the past and continues to do so in what you know as the present.  There is a hope, an expectation that it will continue [...]

“When will I be with my dearly departed again?” you wish to know.  You are still here, for you have more love to experience while in this body.  You may feel you serve no more purpose, that your purpose was wrapped up with the one who has passed.  May your [...]

“Does a bear have hair?” you ask as a way of saying, “Is that not quite obvious?  The obvious is not always that which is most visible to you.  Those aspects of the self which are known as the higher self are as obvious to you as the hair on [...]

A house is built one brick and stick at a time.  It is taken down much less carefully.  You have built up habits, patterns, ways of being one thought and experience at a time.  Some of your way of being in the house that is your story, serves you well.  [...]

Fresh and stale.  You know these words well.  What causes something that is new and soft to become hard, brittle, and no longer tasteful?   You may think in terms of food, but think also in terms of thoughts.   And therein lies the challenge:  thinking.  This process can cause thoughts to [...]

You use the term “to burn out”.  This happens when a match has served its purpose, flared up, burned brightly, and then goes out.  Perhaps you know this feeling?  Perhaps you have been working at a task so long that you no longer feel that spark.  Individual tasks may burn [...]

A rabbit’s fur.  Such a silky touch.  So soft you can barely keep your hands from rubbing against it.  Why is this?  Vibration is vibration.  You know harmony when you hear it.  Softness has the same vibration.  You resonate with softness.  Hardness does not flow.  “I’m going through a rough [...]

You have not made your mind up yet.  The jury is still out.  Your decision could go either way.  If you are truly in touch with your inner world, there is no decision to make.  It is already made at the deepest level.  You are wavering, wondering.  No!  You already [...]

Death.  You fear it and do everything in your power not to think about it until one you love crosses the veil before you.  Suddenly, you no longer fear death.  You long for it.  But not really.  What you want is release from suffering.  What you want is your old [...]
