This Living Metaphor

2011-08-31T13:01:00-04:00August 31st, 2011|

Glorious weather brings a smile to your lips. You raise your eyes to the sky and bask in the warm sunshine. Why this upliftment? Why do you not feel the same when the sky is gray and cloudy? All of life is a metaphor. All is simply a different way [...]

Perception is Reality

2011-08-30T11:09:00-04:00August 30th, 2011|

Fireworks light up your sky. You shout and clap in delight. Such a pleasure you cannot deny, Yet to some it does bring fright.   They clap their hands upon their ears. They balk at all the noise. To some it's joy, to others fear, And total lack of poise. [...]

The Gift of Discernment

2011-08-29T12:57:00-04:00August 29th, 2011|

Do you remember as a child the excitement you did feel at the thought of a special holiday?  If you did believe in Santa Claus, did this thought not make your very limbs tingle?  This was a physical phenomenon brought about by the higher vibrations of joy.  Do you realize [...]

More Than Tolerance

2011-08-28T12:03:00-04:00August 28th, 2011|

You speak of religious tolerance.  We ask you to feel this word, "tolerance."  Does it not have a bit of a negative vibration?  Do you not "tolerate" bad behavior or a naughty child?  Do you not "tolerate" medicine?  We ask you to see others' spiritual beliefs and all beliefs which [...]

In the Face of a Storm

2011-08-27T11:44:00-04:00August 27th, 2011|

You are preparing for a storm.  What do you do?  You place heavy boards over large windows.  You pick up objects which could fly about.  All of these are protective measures.  Do you not see that often you do prepare yourself in the same way in your mind for coming [...]

Embrace Life

2011-08-26T12:52:00-04:00August 26th, 2011|

Note from Suzanne: While hiking in the Adirondacks this week I took this photo of this amazing sight. (If the photo speaks to you, please share the link from this page with your friends). At the time, I tried to put into words in my mind what the scene meant [...]

Clearing the System

2011-08-25T13:44:00-04:00August 25th, 2011|

A cough is a natural way of ridding the body of an irritation. The muscles tense, and in a burst of air, the lungs, throat, and mouth are cleared. Through meditation and visualization you can do the same with your energy body. This is most helpful in clearing feelings of [...]

Finding Balance

2011-08-24T13:16:00-04:00August 24th, 2011|

You walk a tightrope between the physical and spirit world.  It is a balancing act.  Where you do you place your focus?  You place your attention on this physical life, for that is why you are here—to learn from it and from the others around you … all of you [...]

Awake and Celebrate!

2011-08-23T13:05:00-04:00August 23rd, 2011|

Oh, how you do disdain the physical body! “It is too large … It pains me here, and here, and here … This does not work right … This does not look right ...” Paradoxically, your complaints oft become even worse as you begin to awaken to your true nature [...]

Gifts

2011-08-22T12:02:00-04:00August 22nd, 2011|

Share your gifts. What is it you do best? Why do others call them gifts? A gift is something special you give to another with no expectation of anything in return. These abilities and talents which you enjoy are God’s gift to you. You could do nothing with them and [...]

Sensitivity

2011-08-21T13:23:00-04:00August 21st, 2011|

A cat’s whiskers are so very sensitive. They are small antennae that protrude from the face to detect and inform the cat about its surroundings. Would it not be useful to have such antennae? In fact, my friend, your entire energy field is like this. Vibrations around you do enter [...]

In Moderation

2011-08-20T12:27:00-04:00August 20th, 2011|

Moderation is the key to peace. Do you not see how these two concepts fit like a hand in a glove? You cannot have peace when you are experiencing either too much or too little of anything, be it good or bad. This is why those who know peace intimately [...]

Higher and Higher

2011-08-19T12:11:00-04:00August 19th, 2011|

You say that you are attempting to contact higher aspects of yourself.  And then the doubt does creep in.  "How can there be anything but this self that I know as 'me'?"  For a lifetime you have placed your focus on "me," and it is this very myopia which has [...]

Dive Right In

2011-08-18T12:14:00-04:00August 18th, 2011|

In an effort to be and see only goodness, do not shut out the outer world.  Yes, it is true:  There beyond the Self is a world of duality—of good and evil, love and fear.  This is why you are having this earth-bound experience:  to learn from the differences.   [...]

Step Out Boldly

2011-08-17T12:59:00-04:00August 17th, 2011|

Where you are going? You really don't know. Just remove your blindfold And enjoy the show.   Life's an adventure Meant to be seen, Not run away from Like a frightening dream.   Take on the challenges. Step boldly out. For enjoying the journey Is what life's all about.   [...]

This Wondrous Journey

2011-08-16T12:17:00-04:00August 16th, 2011|

You wish to be farther along your spiritual path.  Why the impatience?  It is because once you have embarked upon this journey of remembrance, the rewards are so great that you become a bit greedy.  "I want more of these good feelings," is how you feel.  Yes, you feel.  That [...]

Poem #414 – Great Wisdom

2011-08-15T12:00:00-04:00August 15th, 2011|

You hear a whisper in your ear But the voice at first, it is not clear. Who is that speaking to me there? Can I believe this?  Do I dare?   This is a voice that came with you. It was there inside you as you grew. And walk it [...]

Simple Pleasures

2011-08-14T13:06:00-04:00August 14th, 2011|

Simple pleasures bring a smile to your face: the beauty of a flower … a pair of lovers embracing … the playfulness of a puppy … All of these are so-called mundane sights, yet are they not in their own way, highlights in your life?  This is because they highlight [...]

Seeing Consequences

2011-08-13T10:37:00-04:00August 13th, 2011|

At the speed of a turtle … this is how it oft seems that things are accomplished in your world.  In the world of spirit, where all truly understand the creative nature of thought, thoughts manifest instantly.  In your world, you do entertain an idea, and at times the thought [...]

Never without

2011-08-12T13:13:00-04:00August 12th, 2011|

You can search the world over for love, but you will be wasting effort.  Love is wherever you are, for love is all there is.  "Yes," you say, "but then why does there seem to be so much darkness and pain wherever I look?"  Because, beloved, you are looking externally [...]

Fully Secure

2011-08-11T12:10:00-04:00August 11th, 2011|

Insecurity … a word with which most humans are familiar.  We speak not of physical safety, but of emotional neediness.  You do experience a state of fear quite often with a basic question at the heart of it:  "Do others love me?"  You can break this down into a variety [...]

In Your Loving Arms

2011-08-10T12:44:00-04:00August 10th, 2011|

You swaddle a baby in your arms and pull it close to your chest.  There your hearts do beat as one.  Is this not one of the greatest joys a human can enjoy?  This is a connection that takes you back to that place from which you came.  You feel [...]

Symphonies of Love

2011-08-09T12:29:00-04:00August 9th, 2011|

Music is the key.  It is the key to understanding all reality.  When a note vibrates at a certain pitch, it speaks to the chakras—the energy centers within your energy body.  It awakens them with a gentle touch.  It communicates a message of remembrance.  The varying tones of certain songs [...]

Waterfalls

2011-08-08T13:56:00-04:00August 8th, 2011|

Note from Suzanne – As we have travelled about this summer and last, the highlights for me have always been the waterfalls we come across, big and little. Waterfalls are my favorite thing in nature. I stand and stare at them, and have never been able to figure out exactly [...]

With a Purpose

2011-08-07T12:16:00-04:00August 7th, 2011|

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the name of Love … for why else would we be here? Does your life at times seem empty and without purpose? This is far from the truth. You fulfill the greatest purpose that exists: You exist to love.Fancy yourself as a hawk. [...]

Compassionate Dispassion

2011-08-06T12:27:00-04:00August 6th, 2011|

You well up with frustration when others react contrary to your liking.  This is a very human response.  Do not berate yourself for feeling less than loving.  Simply recognize it and then shift to spirit-consciousness.  From this place of love, send compassion to those who do not think as you [...]

Ups and Downs

2011-08-05T12:27:00-04:00August 5th, 2011|

Every day presents new challenges with its ups and downs.  Is this not just like your stock market?  At times things are on an upswing, and at others there is a precipitous fall.  We wish you to understand that all events are outside the True Self.  You need not ride [...]

Reactions

2011-08-04T12:49:00-04:00August 4th, 2011|

"Did you meet the situation with love?"  That is the great test of your lifetime.  This is a test you can apply after any event, any experience.  And apply it you should, for it will be the question you are asked by your higher self and by those who gently [...]

Refresh Your Soul

2011-08-03T13:07:00-04:00August 3rd, 2011|

See the beauty in all things.Hear the song that nature sings.All of life exists to showThat which inside you all do know.Had you the opportunity, as some have had, to listen to the sound of your earthly crickets singing at a higher rate of vibration, you would hear in their [...]
