The Difference
We do not care what you do on your path. We do not care how many people you touch or heal. What matters is why you do what you do. Do you do it to align with pure, unconditional Love, or to serve the ego? Do you do it from [...]
Habit vs. Awareness
Are you a slave to your body? It says, “feed me,” and you eat. It shows you thirst and you drink. These are all well and good—part of the survival system of the body, but what of the many times when you are not hungry or thirsty? You see an [...]
All You Need to Know
There is nothing you can do to have more peace in your life. All the peace in the world is already within you. There is nothing you need do to have more love. Seek not love outside of yourself. Be not discouraged when others do not give you the love [...]
Staying With It
You give power to your stories by telling them over and over. Yes, the amusing ones are entertaining when at a party or with new friends. Laughter is good, but once again we return to your victimhood. When you feel you have been harmed or wronged and you tell this [...]
Meant to Be
People are put in your path for a reason. Use them. Not in a way that takes advantage of them. Ask your higher self for guidance. “Why have I crossed paths with this person? How can our interaction be of service to the whole? I am here to serve, and [...]
Intrepid
Your astronauts go into outer space to explore the unknown. Why bother? For they may find something helpful, something educational, something interesting. How often do you explore your inner space? Why bother? Need we say more? Prepare to take off, intrepid explorer. Once you discover what has been within you [...]
Expectations
People come to expect things of you. Does this become a burden? You need not provide and produce. Will they be disappointed? Is there a lesson in that disappointment? Most likely there is one for both of you. Go on providing and doing if your heart tells you to, but [...]
Knowing
You know what you know. How do you explain this feeling? At times you cannot, for it is so subtle and so subtly different from thoughts that come through thinking. Knowing comes through soul-awareness, based in the heart. It is the purest, truest way of knowing, and learning, and being [...]
Through the Veil
If a dog or cat can see and sense across the veil, why can’t you? It is part of the human body design. The veil is lifted individually and at just the right time. Do you not enjoy the magic as you obtain glimpses of a greater reality? Does it [...]
Rather Than Victimhood …
When something happens that upsets you, do you not immediately want to tell another? You want sympathy and understanding. This is understandable, for that is how humans operate. Be aware: sharing your woes with others is how you play the role of victim. “Can you believe what that person did [...]
Change Agent
Situations arise that change everything in a flash. How do you react? Yes, go into a shell for a while, but after a while you must come out for sustenance. Look around you. The world is still there. Your world may have changed, but the greater world keeps spinning. It [...]
Attention
A door slams and makes a loud noise. Instantly, you tense, not because you are frightened, but because a slamming door has a different meaning to you. It denotes anger. It denotes raised vibrations in terms of amplitude and not higher consciousness. But could it mean simply that someone used [...]
Gift Exchange
When you manifest what you asked for in your life and just the right person comes into it, you say, “Thank you. What a gift,” to those on the other side who helped to make it happen. But look deeper. Nothing happens that does not affect another. Could it not [...]
Which “I”?
“I” is what you call awareness. “I” is how you know you exist, but there are varying levels of “I.” “I” can be the story built up around your belief system and experiences, and not all of these may serve you. “I” can be the Witnessing Awareness that observes the [...]
You Can Relax Now
Are you here to change the world? It is already altered by your presence. You can relax now. 2000 years ago, a man walked the earth and changed the world, but he did not completely heal it, and neither will you. It is all a process, this thing called Life. [...]
Fearless
What have you been telling yourself you cannot do? Is it something mental, such as learning a new skill? Something emotional, such as overcoming fears? Something physical, such as driving a car? Is it something that combines these, such as driving a long distance? You are not trapped by lack [...]
One Reality
Where you place your focus becomes your experience, and what you experience becomes your reality. If you focus on your thoughts and emotions, you think that you are these, yet beside you another human can be experiencing a very different reality. What if both of you raised your consciousness and [...]
A Free Spirit
There is a part of you that wants to dance. Set it free! It matters not if your legs don’t work and your body has slowed down. The child within has been trapped too long. Step outside of your self-imposed bonds and love. Talk to others. Find out what brings [...]
Divine is the Light
“Om namah shivaya …” “I celebrate the all that is in you.” It is a bit like saying, “Namaste,” upon greeting or leaving another. It says, “There is no difference between us. You are not just a human being. You are the Light, and all that is is Light. You [...]
No Stranger to Love
When you come upon a stranger, what do you see? What you see determines what you think, and what you think determines what you feel. Do you feel guarded? Do you feel like stepping away or stepping up to say hello with a smile? All of this is learned behavior—neither [...]
Looking Back
When you were young did anyone yell at you? Of course, they did. That is what humans do. It is how they teach and how you learn. Over and over they said, “No!” And “That is bad!” and hence you thought that you were bad. Yes, this is how you [...]
Reconnecting
Have you not felt disconnected at times from your Source and from those around you? This is impossible, you know, for you are an expression of the Love that gives you Life, that flows through you. At times, however, something happens that jars you. It is analogous to a power [...]
