Why does it sometimes take a painful incident for you to “learn your lessons?” That is the human way. You are pleasure seekers. It is built into your brains. It is a survival mechanism. Were it not for pain, you would self-destruct far sooner. Be grateful for the pain. Instead [...]
You have a new project and you begin. It does not flow, and so you begin again. Still it does not flow, and so you find yourself working harder, and in so doing, the frustration builds. What has happened? You ignored the lack of flow and now are working in [...]
You look at your face in the mirror and you say, “Oh, my!” It is not as you remember it. You hold in your mind the picture of the face of a child—smiling, smooth, and shining. Now the skin is not so tight. The history of time is showing there. [...]
When you were a child, you played childish games. That is what children do. Once you grow up and realize you are a grown-up, you leave your childish games behind. The spiritual path is similar: When you are asleep and do not realize you are the expression of the Source, [...]
Yours is a world that seems to have gone crazy. People are killing each other, and it doesn’t matter if the beliefs are political or religious or personal. It is all because of the beliefs. These are learned and they are born of fear, of the belief in separation from [...]
Someone says to you, “I’m so disappointed,” and immediately you jump. You wish to placate them. You had done or said something which elicited their comment, and now it is your fault. Or is it? Will you now change your stance or allow them to feel what they are feeling? [...]
No one can ever understand exactly what you are going through, what you are thinking, or where you have been. They can only meet you where you are based on what they are going through, and where they have been. If the two of you can meet in the heart, [...]
Lies make a person all-powerful. Those with no discernment will believe anything the one who lies says. There is always an opposite in the human world of duality. Knowing that a person can lie, one also learns to distrust. And so, do you trust all or disbelieve all? Of course, [...]
Think back to your earliest days in school. Was it not important to be liked, to be popular? You banded together in groups, and there were those on the inside and those on the outside. There was most definitely meaning given to each group, and those who were in each. [...]
If balance is key to a peaceful state—and it is—then a cross is a most fitting symbol. The horizontal crossbar represents the physical plane, balancing the many opposites you find in your world of duality. If you go too far in your thoughts, actions, or emotions, you are not centered. [...]
You are characters in a play. Any behaviors that you judge and criticize in another could easily be yours. You are capable of anything as a human: every emotion, every action. If you do not believe us, choose one action of one near and dear to you that you judge [...]
History repeats itself. There is nothing new upon the face of the earth. Yes, your technology has changed, and your fashions, names, and so forth, but what of emotions? What of the dramas? These will keep going ‘round and ‘round, repeating themselves through endless iterations whilst you learn to get [...]
Enjoy your possessions, but be cautious as to how much you allow them to define you. Appreciate your photos and mementos, but be aware if they are holding you in the past. What is the spiritual path about? About releasing your identification with the ego. Why? So as to know [...]
When someone greets you with an angry face, a set jaw, a firm frown, it has nothing to do with you. They are hurting. “But what if I am the one who hurt them?” you ask, and we tell you that is your issue. Another can only allow themselves to [...]
What is a line? It is a connection between two points. Who are you, but a theoretical being—an aspect of consciousness expressing itself in human form. You are an energetic field in toroidal shape with your consciousness centered at the heart. As above, so below. What is your Source, but [...]
The body is an instrument – a tool. You use a hammer to pound in a nail. Do you think you are the hammer? Of course not. Yet you say, “I hammered the nail.” The hammer was the go-between between your thought, your will, and the action. That is what [...]
You can get caught up in others’ stories … in their excitement, in their fears or their sadness, their anger or their happiness. One moment you are at peace and the next you are swept up and carried away by currents that are not in alignment with your own. “What [...]
Disconnected … this is how many humans feel. Disconnected from what? From their Source. This is impossible, you know, and yet, this is the perception due to years and years of ego’s lies. How to get plugged back in? The cord has never really come out of the socket. It [...]
When you cannot feel the light within, life does indeed feel quite dark. You cannot remember how it felt to feel happy, yet you long for that state. Forget happiness. It always has an opposite. Aim for peace. Aim for knowing divine love intimately, and then turn your sites within. [...]
We are drawing this one’s eyes to a tiny puzzle piece that sits in her room. There are dark spaces and light. The eyes are naturally drawn to the light, which form unrecognizable patterns, but with a slight change in focus, from the dark parts emerges a pattern which is [...]
In all the hustle and the bustle You no longer hear the rustle The softest of whispers That comes to guide you. Spirit never leaves For Spirit through you breathes Within and without, And right there beside you Take a break from the hurry, Your cares and the worry And [...]
And this is how it goes: up and down, up and down. The higher you rise, the lower you fall. It is the law—the law of balance. You like getting excited and manic. Adrenaline gives you a rush. The body seeks balance on its own, which is why you feel [...]
You save the world by saving yourself. The fact that you feel there is something wrong with the world and not seeing the truth beneath all that is is a result of you projecting your need for perfection onto that which you see. If you had no sense of separation, [...]
Your sports figures practice a method of achieving their goals called visualization. They see themselves succeeding. They see the high jump, the field goal, the home run, and crossing the finish line first. This method is very successful, but even better is becoming one in your mind with every element [...]
