The Daily Way

What if you cannot have it your way?  Because there is a “your way” means there are choices.  The greatest choice you can make is the choice to pause and see all of the choices rather than sticking to what you perceive is the only choice, the “my way.”  In [...]

When you cannot love yourself, it is because you are identifying with a story.  You are finding things to resist.  “I cannot accept this, and I cannot accept that.” You are identifying with labels, acts, thoughts, and none of these is your eternal, basic essence.  Set aside the memories, feelings, [...]

Rainy days come.  How do you greet them?  It depends upon your expectations.  Did you have plans that involved sunshine?  If not, then the rain makes no difference to you.  It is all in the expectations.  What if you simply accepted and adjusted to what comes into your day?  This [...]

What does it mean to be nurtured?  To be coddled both physically and emotionally.  To feel another’s love clearly and know that you are dearly loved no matter what.  To feel swaddled in emotional warmth.  To know that you are safe.  The human longs to be nurtured for it is [...]

Disappointments.  They go with the territory.  The human landscape is fraught with its ups and downs.  That is the point.  If all were steady-state, a level playing field, where would be the growth?  If you walk all the time, a little running strengthens the heart.  If everything is pleasant and [...]

Perhaps you mourn someone special on this special day.  This is understandable.  Their alleged absence seems to stare you in the face.  What if you knew that they are there, staring you in the face?  Would you cry in woe and sadness, or smile and send them love?  They are [...]

Deliverance.  What does this mean?  You are given what you need.  Saved from some less than optimal outcome.  How does deliverance come about?  At times by grace and at times by great effort across the veil.  At times by your own good intentions.  It is a group effort, yet there [...]

Why the urge to correct someone when they make an assumption or an assertion that is incorrect?  The human likes order, and the ego likes to be on top.  Stop for a moment before correcting that apparent other and ask, “Does it really matter?”  What matters most?  Being right or [...]

Family members do not always do what you would like or expect.  Why should they?  You chose each other for the growth opportunities you would provide to the other.  If all of you were perfectly loving and compatible, why then you would have to go and find someone else to [...]

A cat’s whiskers, so delicate are they.  They barely brush a surface and much information do they transmit to the animal.  You have whiskers of sorts.  These are the energetic lines that radiate outward from the heart.  They continue through your etheric body on outward to interact with those around [...]

“I don’t know what to say to this person!  How can I possibly help?”  It is quite simple.  You assist by realizing that both of you are not only persons but souls.  And then, you go that place within you that is the bridge between the person and the soul, [...]

What do you do when you cannot control something?  A dog goes missing ... a loved one grieves, and you want so badly to help.  Countless examples of things beyond the human’s span of control.  This is when you remember your dual aspect as human and the entire field of [...]

Friends.  Who needs them?  Think not in terms of need, but of benefit.  You benefit from each other.  It is not a one-way street.  And that is the beauty of friends.  They are there for you and vice-versa.  It need not always be balanced.  You will have times of need, [...]

Life:  One song, many verses, many notes.  Harmony and a bit of disharmony at times for variety.  Chords comprised of several notes played together.  And together, the music plays on, yet it is one.  One song.  Unified.  Uni-verse.  An infinite loop of music arising, notes playing out for the sheer [...]

When you want to do a thing very much so as to prove something to others, examine your motives.  Is it to show how great you are or is it to show others how great they are?  What do you have to prove?  The greatest prayer in this regard is, [...]

The ego is a funny thing.  It can cause one person to be puffed up, or “full of themself” as you say.  It can cause another to be withdrawn and feel unworthy.  Both are human attributes, for the human is the one with the ego as operations manager.  And if [...]

“What do I call my guides?  What do I call my loved ones who have passed, and angels?  Are they real?”  You can call them love, for that is what all that arises from love are — extensions of the Source, created in the image — not an image of [...]

Forget everything you ever knew .. and who are you?  Take away the dreams and memories, and what remains?  It is not nothing.  It may appear to be empty, boring, useless, space.  Far from it.  Far from your seeming humanity, yet as close as your breath is Life.  What is [...]

Why does a topic or an object keep coming up in your life?  Repetition is an attention attention attention getter.  Do you get it?  Why do you choose to ignore these not so subtle subtle subtle signs, nudges, indications that you should pay attention?  Higher Consciousness is trying to get [...]

How could you be anything but This?  Awareness is your very nature since before time began.  Yet, it is so present, so much a part of your being, that you overlook it.  You go seeking through meditation, through spiritual teachers, and books for that illusive God, that illusive Source, that [...]

The body is a suit that you put on.  It is not the real you, the absolute you, the eternal you that never dies.  You know from experiencing the passing of others that the body is impermanent, and this fills so many with fear.  Trust us:  the passing of the [...]

Exclusivity.  Do you think you are the only one to have ever achieved what you have?  Some wish to say this, to claim to be the best.  That is because each of you is here to shine your light in the way that only you can.  Now, how does this [...]

What instead of a list of all the things you wish for, all of the things you would like to change or to have, you had a list of all of the things for which you are grateful?  All this entails is a shift of focus, a movement of attention.  [...]

This is it.  This is the moment you have been waiting for.  This is what Life has presented to you.  Why keep looking toward the future?  Is this not good enough for you?  Then you face the challenge of never being satisfied.  That is the bottom line.  The future is [...]

When you try to figure out how it all works, you can quite easily get stuck in the head.  The mind needs to analyze, judge, and find the logic.  This is only half of how you know how Life work.  The knowing aspect of you has its locus in the [...]

Let it stew for a while.  What does that mean?  You have several ingredients in the mix, and the result could come out in any number of ways, depending upon how things get mixed and how much or little heat you give to that stew.  Ah, are metaphors not the [...]

Yes, life is lived through stories.  Value the story.  Treasure it, but do not become addicted to it, dependent upon it, lulled by it, deluded by it.  How else could Love express itself, enjoy itself, live itself but through a story?  Stories, lives, serve a purpose.  Through them life is [...]

Why does a child play with clay or mud?  To satisfy the innate desire to create, to make something out of nothing.  To make something better out of something at hand.  And why do you exist?  For the self-same reason.  All of life follows this primal urge of creation.  This [...]

Salvation.  The word brings relief and a bit of fear at the same time.  You will be saved!  From what?  The greatest fear for the human is the fear of death.  And what happens when you come to know you cannot and do not die?  Why, this means there must [...]
