Hear us well: being spiritual does not mean that you do not feel pain. You are living in a world of duality, where pain, due to the Law of Balance, is equally present with pleasure. Does this mean you stay in a state of pain once you acknowledge it and [...]

“Surely you jest!” Do you not say this when incredulous that another has made what you consider an unbelievable or inaccurate statement? And when you learn that they are quite serious, what then? Why, you face a decision: to alter your belief system or not, to allow the other to [...]

You speak of recharging your batteries. There is much similarity with this and clearing your energetic field. How often are you around others who are not well or are quite sad? How often do you mix with others who speak negatively? These types of situations drain your batteries far more [...]

The connection with your guides and higher self may not always be evident. There are a number of reasons why you may not sense us. Perhaps the body is tired or energetically blocked. Perhaps you need to be reminded of the difference between being in the flow and “making the [...]

“Not good enough. Not good enough.” Do you not recognize this as programming? These are not messages from the soul. Spirit does not pull you down in this way. Only human egos do this. To think that you are not good enough is learned behavior which becomes an ingrained pattern [...]

When at last you think you know it all, think again. And then be willing to admit that you, of yourself, know nothing. It is this attitude that will allow you to continue growing. Growing in what way? In your ability to love as does the Source of All That [...]

  “From this moment on” … may this be your mantra for today.  Do not drag yourself through the mud for past transgressions or regrettable decisions. Apply what you know now to be Truth and do your best.  “But I was doing my best then!” you cry, and we ask you, were you?  If so, [...]

  Why are you here? This is what so many wish to know. You are here because God wanted to experience this existence as you. Do you realize the miracle that you are? Physically, you are one in a trillion. Metaphysically speaking, you are one … one with God and [...]

When you feel as if you cannot go on after a loss, know that you can.  You are still here for a reason. Pain is part of the process of grief.  Few escape it, but it is also part of the human belief system and need not be quite so unbearable.   How [...]

You recover from your excesses.  At the dawn of a new day, you say, “Never again.”  At the dawn of a new year you say, “I am starting anew.”  What does it matter if you enjoyed a bit of excess?  It matters not a bit if you learned nothing from it.  Seek balance.  [...]

How you view an event is completely up to you.  Does a tragedy—or what you interpret as a tragedy—propel you into action or lethargy, anger or compassion?  Why are there so many choices?  For yours is the realm of duality, of polar opposites.  The whole point of this existence is that [...]

When you are harried or rushed, life can easily pass you by.  What does this mean?  Life is ongoing all around you in this now-moment.  Imagine yourself in a car.  The illusion is that you are moving past the scenery—going, going, going here and there, when in fact, in every moment you are [...]

Grief is a process. This you know. It has certain stages. You cannot escape grief when you have lost one who is dear to you, and why would you want to?  Yes, we know: because it feels so very awful. The pain at times seems unbearable. Do you not see [...]

Simon Says.  Do you remember that game?  Any words that came after “Simon says” you were supposed to do, and you did them.  What a silly game, yet you had fun playing it.  For a while you subdued your free will and did whatever you were told.  Now you have grown up.  Who is Simon [...]

“Is there a Hell?” so many of you ask, and the answer is yes, but it is not as you envision.  It is not a place, but a state of mind.  And no one is trapped there, but remains there as a result of their own thoughts.  “Not an uplifting topic today,” [...]

Earthly responsibilities can easily push you out of balance.  What do we mean by this?  You can become so overwhelmed with your earthly tasks that you forget that you are also fully spirit.  When you fail to pay attention to that side of you which is peace and love, you become [...]

When all you have left are pictures, oh how you cry.  You feel that you only have memories, but there you err. Your loved ones are still with you. They have left you in physical form for a while, but what they have left you cannot be destroyed.  They have left you [...]

Forgetfulness.  Where do the thoughts go which you are trying to remember?  They are still there.  Thoughts are energy.  They do not go away.  You must merely place the intention of matching the frequency of the concept you are trying to remember and send that intention outward.  It will catch the intended thought as a [...]

It is all very simple, this thing you call life, yet you make it so difficult. There is love and there is fear. That is all. Everything you do is a choice between the two. How hard is it to choose love? It only becomes hard when you let your [...]

  Yes, celebrate the successes:  The operation went well.  The talk was well received.  The family visit passed without incident.  You arrived safely at your destination.  The prayers worked well.  Now you can relax.  Yes, relax, but do not stop praying.  We say this not to indicate that once again you need worry.  We [...]

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 so blindly any longer, [...]

“Do as we say, not as you do” — a bit of a twist on one of your sayings. So often you march off through your day acting on your own, as if you are connected to naught but your own mind. Then, when you err or encounter difficulties, you [...]

When the world seems to be moving faster than you are, begin with deep breathing. Slow down your racing thoughts just enough that the whisper of the Voice of Spirit can get through. “Relax,” it says. There is never any need for worry when you turn over all results to [...]
