The Daily Way

You can always find words to justify your position, be they from a religious book, a spiritual book, a political book, a magazine, or your Internet.  When the ego has something to defend, it will find that perfect defense.  Tune in to your stomach and heart area.  What do they [...]

Your thoughts set you free or hold you prisoner.  What do you focus upon?  What do you affirm repeatedly throughout the day?  Is this not, then, your reality?  Are you tired of not feeling well?  What do you focus upon?  Are you tired of being sad?  What do you focus [...]

Have no fear, Spirit is here.  What is Spirit, but Consciousness—the One Mind expressing Itself through the many.  That includes you, of course, and yet you think you are alone.  You and all you see around you arise from Divinity.  If you would only settle down, sink back, and dissolve [...]

Rushing about.  That is what gets you in trouble. In that state of rushing to do this or that, you often forget completely Who you are.  Rushing is done by the one playing a role.  Source is always there to guide you, but with the wind rushing in your ears, [...]

Do you react the same way each time someone pushes your buttons or interacts with you in some way that is not to your liking?  That is a construct.  A construct is a fabrication, a structure, a pattern of responses that serves as a crutch to hold up who you [...]

Since you cannot know the entirety of your magnificence, as you are an aspect of Source, a projection, a ray of the Light that makes up All That Is, why not get to know this little light?  And yet, if you are just a fraction of the brilliance that would [...]

“Who’s in charge here?”  You want to know this when there is a problem.  You ask to speak to the highest authority.  You know that this manager will help you to resolve the issue.  So we ask you:  who is in charge here?  Is it the smaller self that oft [...]

Emotions are like drugs.  Some have what you call good effects and others bad.  Some you crave and others you call a “bad trip.”  And yet, you can become addicted even to the lower emotions.  Yes, it is true.  To some, anger feels good, rage even better.  The body craves [...]

Do not rush through a thing simply to get it over with.  Savor every moment, even of the most mundane tasks.  What are you rushing to get to?  Before you know it, this too shall pass and you will have missed this moment here and now.  “But some tasks are [...]

So subtle.  That is how the little snags from spirit—higher consciousness—can be.  You might call them nudges.  They come from within as the still, small voice, always benign, always loving, and they come to guide you.  It is nigh unto impossible to hear them when ego is chattering away, blaring [...]

You say you need to come into alignment with new surroundings or new situations.  Be aware that the soul is always in alignment with the greater reality. It can be no other way.  What can often use aligning is your human thoughts and energy with the vibrations of higher consciousness.  [...]

In a world of language and concepts, there are limitless ways to express Truth.  So many combinations of words and thoughts and images … Be cautious if you become stuck to one story like glue. One story cannot express the entirety of Truth.  We can give you words such as [...]

Anxiety — is it not simply fear that is extended?  It is not a sudden, frightful feeling, but an ongoing gnawing within.  What if you were to see that gnawing as a sign that something is out of balance and talk to it?   Thank you for showing me where I [...]

Do you find yourself disdaining others at times?  Do you look down your nose at them and think “less than” thoughts?  Do you know this is a projection of what you are not allowing yourself to think about yourself?  Now, the human side of you may rebel at this thought, [...]

The hero’s journey —- it is what all of you are enacting.  You come into this world and go on an adventure.  Along the way are trials and tribulations.  You know the phrase.  Do you know what a tribulation is?  Something to overcome — a challenge that is well worth [...]

Yes, it is true.  At times the soul agrees that the role it plays will endure a hardship for the learning that will result for others, if not only for the role player.  In other words, when you as a human suffer a bump in the road, do not think [...]

Never forget who you are.  We are not speaking of your temporary lifetime on this date in this place.  We are speaking of you AS eternity.  You exist beyond space and time.  If existing for all eternity sounds boring or frightful, then you are thinking and perceiving in human terms.  [...]

Completion.  You enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done.  And perhaps for a while you rest.  And then what happens?  The urge to create arises again.  And a new project begins.  Always something is in creation, for that is the way of life.  Beginnings and endings.  It is an [...]

Close the mouth.  Say nothing when inside the human part of you is bursting to talk back, to make a retort, to explain, to make an excuse, to justify.  Oh yes, especially in these cases.  Close the mouth.  Bite the tongue, seal the lips, sit on your hands, and listen.  [...]

An uprising.  This is what you call it when a group of people take matters into their own hand.  When they are not content with the status quo and they wish for change.  Change is usually the result, be it good or bad in human opinion.  Did you know that [...]

What are you afraid of?  That is your greatest blessing, your greatest opportunity for growth.  Are you willing to examine your fears, to change the thinking and the issues in your life that are keeping you in separation?  That is what fear does:  it holds you hostage to the role [...]

The language you use will hold you captive in the role if you are not living consciously.  I is an insidious pronoun.  I allows you to think this role you play is the real and only you.  “If there is no ‘I’, then what is left?” You ask.  This … [...]

Can you be grateful for the times that people say things about you that hurt?  Why would you want such a situation?  No human being would want to hear unkind things about themselves, but is this not the greatest opportunity to truly practice walking the talk?  If you truly know [...]

Habits.  They can enslave you if you are not careful.  They are comfortable. They require little effort.  But life is not about being effortless.  It is one thing to flow, it is another to grow.  Examine your habitual behaviors and thoughts.  Do they serve a purpose?  What is it?  We [...]

Life does not always go as you wish.  Sometimes the lesson is for someone else, and you must bear the burden.  Of course, there are always nuggets to be gleaned from difficulties.  What does your discomfort highlight for you?  Now is a good time to be rid of any so-called [...]

Do you see the paradox?  You want to celebrate your diversity, yet recognize your oneness.  You want to include all with one photo using perhaps one human to symbolize all others, yet that is impossible, for in the manifestation of the One Heart, there is far more than one way [...]

Yes, the soul is the bridge between the human aspect of you and pure Being, pure Awareness ... THIS that breathes you.  And yet, do not fall into the trap of believing that these are separate entities or beings.  THIS is a spectrum of awareness.  The soul is every bit [...]

Others give you gifts.  There are some with greater monetary value than others.  In your human world, at times money equates to love.  If one spends more money on you, does that mean they love you more?  At times, that is the reality in their mind.  But what if another [...]

If you are stressing about something, then you are not trusting.  You are neither trusting yourself or others, perhaps.  It matters not the exact situation.  Whatever the case, stress indicates that you are focusing fully on yourself in the role as a human being.  Do you not remember that you [...]
