Could it be you think too much? Time spent analyzing can turn into time spent agonizing. Ah, yes, you know this state well. It can definitely be a kind of hell to fall under the logical mind’s spell. Know this: There is a part of you that does not need [...]
For the joy of it. That is why to do anything. “But I must go to work,” you say, and where can you find the joy in that? Can you find a way to connect with another in doing your work? Can you find a way to make another’s life [...]
Think of your family in spirit like a constellation. When you study constellations in school, you don’t just see groupings of stars, you see drawings of specific stars within the sky connected by lines. Yes, the lines are drawn to show you the connections, but these lines are as real [...]
What is balance? It is that point at which, when standing on one foot, you do not fall to one side or another. In life, your emotions have a balance point. So does your body. How do you know when the emotions or the body are out of balance? You [...]
What are you afraid of? Embarrassing yourself? This fear arises from “What will others think?” Which arises from “I am not enough,” which arises from “I am not appreciated,” which arises from “I am not loved.” Such fears arise from the misconception that you are separate from the womb of [...]

In order for something to get clean, something else must get dirty. In order for there to be physical life, there must be physical death. This is the dance, the back and forth, the sharing of polarities. To argue with this is to bring about suffering. Notice how the many [...]
Exemplary. The word implies that a thing serves as an example. Used in a positive light, you hold it up as a model for others to emulate. What is the highest attribute a human can model? Loving kindness. This has naught to do with success or riches. Loving acts of [...]
A necklace is made of many beads. Each is part of one whole. Which is more beautiful? A necklace in which each is exactly alike, or one with varied colors and shapes? Perhaps the answer is both. The way the beads are strung together is part of the fun, the [...]
