In darkness you live, stumbling about, groping for truth, groping to find your way. You turn a corner and see a bit of light. It is refreshing, full of hope. It feels so very different. You no longer can settle for darkness, and so you stumble on, but not quite [...]
Hello, friends. As part of my next book project, I'd love your help. Do you have any special posts from Sanaya that you have "earmarked" or saved in some way because the words truly spoke to you? If so, please send me an email (srgiesemann@aol.com) and let me know the [...]
In every man’s heart there is goodness. Do not forget this. It is easy to feel this as a lie when you see a man or woman performing acts contrary to what you know as goodness. But always remember that beyond the body, beyond appearances, lies the Soul, which is [...]
Do not devalue the worth of any other, for in so doing, you are belittling God. Once again, we remind you that all is of the Creator. What you see as the human part you know as individuality, but it is merely a creative, individualized aspect of the Creator, expressing [...]
Ask and you shall receive. But be aware of how very powerful consciousness is. ask and you shall receive exactly what your thoughts have asked for. Be specific in your request, but at the same time, be aware that God always has the bigger picture and the greatest good in [...]
Give and take … you know this as a rule of life. When there is balance there is harmony. Give, give, give of your love, not so that you will get more in return, but because you world is out of balance. Believe us, the more you will receive. It [...]
The one true Mother is the One who birthed the spirit. Any other you identified as "mother" who failed to live up to an ideal was chosen as a teacher. The one true Father is the one who birthed you as spirit. Any other you labeled as "father" is one [...]
There is nothing new under the sun. Consciousness has been around for a while, playing, enjoying, observing, interacting. The only new thing is the form in which it expresses itself. The feelings and emotions you experience are nothing new as they come and go in response to the interaction of [...]
Pepper and salt … condiments … additives you put upon your food to increase the enjoyment. Without them, to you there is less flavor, less enjoyable taste. What are the other condiments in your life? The greatest of these is love. Is your life a bit bland? A bit tasteless? [...]
Tumbling tumbleweeds. They go where the wind blows. Do you? So light are they, with no roots to hold them in place. They change directions frequently. Do you? If you are going to allow yourself to be blown around, then at the very least ask that you may be guided [...]
How do you find peace in the midst of a storm? You go to the eye—the center—which is always there. When caught in the worst of the winds it may be a struggle to find your way to the center, but trust that it is there. Relax the body. Take [...]
You can run, but you cannot hide from your deepest fears, your anger, your demons. There is no real devil. There are only the lower, slower vibrations which exist as possibility, as does all Source energy. It is your own consciousness which raises and lowers the vibrations. Some of the [...]
Survival … getting through a situation alive. It is a silly word, for there is no death. What you mean when you laugh and say, “I survived it,” is that you are still here … a bit wounded, perhaps, but also a bit changed. Yes, you will survive. You will [...]
Hold onto your thoughts if they bring you peace. Discard them if they do not. It is that simple. You cannot instantly change the physical situation around you, but you can change your feelings, your moods, your mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being in an instant. You do this. No other [...]
When you do something in earnest, you throw all of your efforts and emotions into it. You fully believe in the cause and in yourself. If something is not working out as you had planned, are you doing it in earnest? First look at your motivations. Why are you doing [...]
Adversity … those times when you struggle to maintain equanimity, balance. You are thrown off balance by a challenge. The natural inclination is to return to standing tall instead of falling. It is the law of balance. You make every effort to right yourself, but sometimes you need a little [...]
From whence cometh envy? From the false belief that you do not have enough. The desire for material things comes from a need to fill a void. The void is merely the lack of awareness that you are essentially love. When you awaken fully to the presence of Love as [...]
The ever-present Presence. Do you know it? Yes, you do. You know it as Love. It is there, calling your attention, or you would not seek love in all that you do. But do not seek outside of yourself, for although Love is in all things, it is most reliably [...]
With certainty look upon the face of another and know that you are seeing the face of God. With certainty, look into a mirror and see the same. Ah, but there enters the doubt. “How can this be God,” you say, and this is where you lack in understanding. Allow [...]
