“Dead and gone.” Such finality there is in these words. This is why death brings such shock. One moment one you love is there and in just an instant they have passed. At this point you begin telling yourself you will never see them again, and that is when [...]
Your culture tells you what is appropriate behavior and what is not. You say there are certain topics that should not be discussed at certain times or certain acts that should not be performed in public. With these cultural beliefs, you inhibit the lower nature that could very easily get [...]
Never question your worthiness. You may have made mistakes. All humans do. You did not come here to be perfect, but to perfect your ability to make choices. Any choice that brings more love into your world is the perfect one in the moment. Any choice that engenders separation is [...]
Whatever is happening, trust the moment. It is happening for a reason. If you cannot sleep, you are meant to be awake. If you cannot stay awake, you are meant to sleep. Be quite cautious of asking the question, “Why is this happening to me?” What if you ask instead, [...]
Music has much to teach you. Two notes played together: are they harmonious and resonant or dissonant and discordant? Each two people who gather are musical notes dancing and playing together. You can tell if you are in resonance with another from moment to moment. This “moment to moment” aspect [...]
Discernment. It is critical if you are to move forward in peace. “Does this ring true in my heart?” Move your awareness to this energetic center at the center of you and feel whether there is constriction or open spaciousness. “Do I follow this path or not?” Follow the same [...]
Trust the process. When your big plans hit a big wall, trust there is a reason. Could higher consciousness be protecting you from something you cannot foresee? Could Spirit be asking you to wait because something better is coming? Trust the process. Yes, it is disappointing when your plans don’t [...]
Death is not the end. You seek answers. You want to know, “Where did my loved one go? They cannot be gone forever!” and you are right. No body lasts forever, but the soul is eternal, for it is part of a larger being ... of be-ing, itself. Seek this [...]
Let us return to gratitude. Yes, it seems self-evident that gratitude brings attunement with the higher realms, but how often does one forget to express it? You must engender it, this feeling of appreciation, when you are out of balance. You are given free will for a reason. Through your [...]
Be here for those who need you. You say in English, “Be there for them,” as if you have to go somewhere, but you do not. You are all connected in the heart. The heart is right here energetically. If you must go anywhere at all, go there, for there [...]
When fear runs amok, it can really take off. It runs like a squirrel, zipping here and there, checking out all the places disaster could hide. It runs to the future. It runs to the past where all its little acorns of having seen possibilities fuels its crazy antics. Zip, [...]
Supports. Something that props up another thing. There are times when the weight of living can cause you to sag. Perhaps the body is ailing or weak. Perhaps the emotions are weighing you down. Who or what is there to prop you up? This is why the One divides into [...]
Hatred is a divisive vibration. It can only be expressed when one forgets about the underlying unity that connects all of you. It is easy to forget that your basic essence is connection when one looks about and remains focused on sensory inputs. The physical senses are wonderful tools, but [...]
If there are many realms, where do you meet the one you are meant to interact with? Why not begin in the heart? It is the center of the center, the bridge to all realms. Yes, move your consciousness along the golden thread as high as it will go, stopping [...]
Deliverance. It means to be led out of a difficult situation. You pray for this, and we wish you to know that you can deliver yourself from evil through the power of harnessing your own thoughts. You have been taught how to think and act as a human by other [...]
The sun is always shining, even when you cannot see it. If you have flown on an airplane through stormy skies, then you know the feeling of bursting through that thick layer of clouds and finding the brightness that has been there all along. What a perfect analogy to remind [...]
Impatience. It is the adversary of presence. What is happening around you this very moment? Can you hear the cat purr? The clock tick? Can you smell what’s cooking in the oven? Do you feel the warmth, the cold? You are alive! So many sensations surround you, and all of [...]
Do you feel the tension rising? It is in the air. What does that mean? Tension is not a physical thing, yet you feel it in your physical body. Tension is an experience. Your thoughts are an experience. Everything you perceive is simply that: experience. Now you get to choose: [...]
Never give up. Your growth is ongoing. The lessons may not always be easy, but they all lead eventually to Joy. You may feel you know nothing of Joy, but it is your fundamental nature. It is why you seek pleasure, for it is the human equivalent of this divine [...]
How many miracles have you missed because your human nature jumped in and said, “That could never happen”? You were on the cusp of creating, but taking that next step was up to you. And then, the voice of doubt stepped in. Yes, you create miracles through trust, by acting [...]
What don’t you understand? Take a breath. Do you feel the tightness in the head? Get out of the head. In that moment of breathing, move awareness to the heart area. At a deeper level, knowing already exists. Understanding arises from knowing. Ask a specific question of Awareness, the unconditioned [...]
Why do you not stay in the same grade in school year after year? For life is about moving onward and upward. Yes, the formal schooling ends, but the learning ... may it never end, for that is how one evolves. Growth in alignment with the highest Self, with Love, [...]
You must make a decision ... take a leap. It is one thing to have blind faith. It is another to know what you have faith in. Have you asked for guidance within before stepping out? Do you know to what you are speaking when you do so? Higher aspects [...]
Memories. Picture post cards in the mind of favorite past-times, special trips, meals eaten on the couch ... These bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart. And then, a pang of sadness when the one with whom you shared these memories will no longer enjoy them [...]
