The Daily Way

When a pattern in your experience of Life changes, you are knocked off balance.  Some patterns have been present for quite a while.  Others may not have been lengthy in terms of time, but they created a strong impression and thus held a strong imprint.  Regardless of the duration or [...]

Yes, even pets grieve.  They are used to the presence of their beloved.  They are used to the interaction.  They know the connection they enjoyed, and they are aware of the sudden absence of that physical presence.  Explain to them that love never dies.  Give them your love, but do [...]

The heart knows things that the head will never discern.  Thinking and knowing are two sides of a coin.  Together they form one whole.  Is one superior?  There are times for analyzing and rationalizing, and there are times for following the inner knowing that guides without reason.  Remain spacious and [...]

New beginnings happen every moment.  Rather than dwelling in the past and building upon what has come before, be here now.  When you dwell in the past, your choices are limited.  They must follow A B C.  When you flow with the current of infinite intelligence that arises in each [...]

I AM and I am aware.  Beyond that, all is a mystery to the human.  Within that is the key to peace and the keys to the Kingdom.  All else beyond I AM and I am aware is story, layer upon layer of story moving outward at the speed of [...]

This time of year, no matter your beliefs, there is more of a focus on connection.  “Happy holidays” you wish each other, in deference to the fact that all may not celebrate the birth of Christ.  What is a Christ, but one who knows him or herself to be the [...]

When you have been knocked down and you think you cannot get up again, you do.  As you do so, those around you voice encouragement, such as, “That’s my girl!” or “Way to go, buddy! We knew you could do it.”  How did they know?  For all have been there.  [...]

If you cannot escape it, and you cannot change it, and you no longer wish to suffer, then you must accept it.  “But I don’t want to accept it!” you cry, and do you see how suffering ensues?  It is that simple.  Life has its ups and downs.  This is [...]

To surrender your story when the drama gets to be too much, simply slip out of gear just as you would when driving a car.  It is not a deliberate act requiring you to take action.  Instead, it is a drifting motion in which you experience simply being.  In being, [...]

It is the false belief that a person or pet must be physically present for you to be happy that holds you in bondage.  You see them walking towards you and you are given the instant feel-good feeling, and so you believe that this physical sight is necessary to engender [...]

You are caught up in the story. You are caught up in the story. When suffering ensues, you have focused your identification on your current role. Watch your thoughts. There is always a higher perspective for the multidimensional being you are.  Yes, feel the pain and the joy as you [...]

It is quite possible to be so focused on surface appearances and issues that you miss the underlying cause.  Do not berate yourself.  It happened.  Now dig deeper.  What lies festering there that bubbles up as other symptoms?  Most humans do not want to deal with messy things.  Who does [...]

How can you be loving to yourself when you have not experienced it from others?  Model this behavior.  Become an actor upon a stage and step into the role of one you know who is loving, kind, and compassionate.  Now play that role to the hilt and turn your acting [...]

Why do you disdain this or that?  These are judgments.  The human nature judges, makes comparisons, and deems something good or bad based on history.  What if you knew nothing?  What if you gave nothing meaning?  What if you simply observed?  There is an innate awareness if a thing is [...]

What does it mean to nurture?  To lovingly provide what is needed, be that another person, an animal, any living being, including a plant … to assure it that it is loved and that you will take care of it, listen to it, be there for it no matter what.  [...]

Why go through all of this?  Why endure all the ups and downs?  Why not simply BE?  You have had the experience of simply BE-ing for timeless time unto eternity and you continue to have that ongoing experience.  After a timeless while, however, you want to live it up!  You [...]

It is the human way to focus on the negative.  The human nature is to protect the self and the tribe.  You will look for dangers and threats.  Be aware of this nature and the propensity to ignore the good in favor of the bad.  It can become a habit.  [...]

Do not fear moving away from or leaving an area where a loved one who passed once spent time.  They are with you here, in Consciousness, in Awareness, which is where everyone dances.  You appear to be in a room, but the room is appearing in Consciousness.  It is not [...]

Things are not always what they seem.  Do you not hide things going on in your life from others out of a sense of privacy?  Are there not challenges going on in your life that you do not wish to share with others?  And when these challenges bubble up and [...]

People come into your life for a reason.  Those who attract you are easy to deal with and accept, but what of those you wish to run from?  What is the lesson there?  It could be your greatest lesson.  Why are you here?  To be the expression of the Love [...]

You are an actor in a drama.  It can be quite tiring to remain “on” at all times.  What do you do to regain balance?  Step off the stage every now and then.  Between acts do something to refresh yourself.  Perhaps you will meditate and clear your energy.  Perhaps you [...]

Are you a slave to certain activities?  Ask yourself why.  There is most likely fear involved.  “If I don’t do this, then I won’t ...” And if you are honest with yourself and dig deeply enough, the ultimate bottom line for the human side is you fear you won’t be [...]

Others are here to learn from their trials and errors just as you are.  Would you have them not learn their lessons?  Why do you wish to correct others?  Yes, keep others safe.  Yes, keep them from harm, but listen to the words that you are about to utter before [...]

Mistakes are made.  You are human, and humans learn by trial and error.  If what you did or said caused yourself or another pain, then you do not want to repeat this.  You change your ways.  You make amends.  You learn, “That did not work.  There is a better way.”  [...]
