Learning
Your guides cannot tell you everything. They are simply that: guides, not the answer to every challenge. Challenges arise at times for the lessons you can learn from them. If you were given every solution, where would be the learning and growth? Ask for guidance, tune in to guidance, but [...]
Anticipation
What is a hiccup? A small bump along the way ... a spasm of the diaphragm that you cannot control. You may laugh when the body causes you to make a funny noise with that hiccup. Can you do the same when you experience a hiccup in your plans? You [...]
With Love and Joy
You have heard the phrase, “Change your thoughts and change your life.” Now try, “Change your words and change your awareness.” Instead of using the word “God,” knowing it is impossible to name The Nameless, put a name on this limitless boundless Source anyway. Change the word to “Love” or [...]
Dissolving
You want the best outcome? Dissolve. Turn from ice to water, from rigid to flowing. Go from “my way” to “Thy way.” This is not a position of weakness, but meekness that comes with great insights. Have you not heard, “Blessed are the meek?” In your human world power is [...]
Ever-Present
Spirit will speak to you in many ways. Yes, at times the messages you need to hear come in a still, small Voice from within. At others they come through external gifts. Just the right person carries the perfect message. A card reveals the answer you seek. A sign along [...]
This Experience
“But that dream seemed so real.” Of course it was! You experienced it. But who is this you? At times in your dreams are you not both in the dream and watching it? And what of this life? Will it not seem like a dream when you step back to [...]
In the Light Direction
There is a reason you have standards. There is something within you that nudges you towards greatness. Your Source is perfection. As a human, you will never reach this, for by its very existence yours is a world of opposites, yet the pull towards the light versus the darkness is [...]
The View from the Top
When you catch yourself praying beseechingly, almost begging for favors from God, notice this is but one viewpoint. This is the “bottom-up” view of you as a separate, powerless being in need of help. It is a valid viewpoint and every bit as real as any other, but it is [...]
The Higher Perspective
You cannot always know what comes next. For most humans, this causes fear, this fear of the unknown. And then, you come to discover that you are the expression of a Source far greater than this limited human story. The Source from which you arise is G(o)od. If you trust [...]
No Less Present in Your Heart
When your loved one is far away, at times they can make a phone call, and you satisfy yourself with that brief contact. When you are no longer in communication, does that make them any less present in your life? What if they have no phone at all? Does that [...]
Never Forgotten
Your whole life you have called this body “mine.” You have done the same with “your” mind. What if you knew what you knew as a newborn babe: that the body and mind belonged to no one. They they are simply expressions of pure Being, as are all body-minds? Why, [...]
Without Comparison
Do not compare yourself to any other. Each one’s path is unique. This is because Source wishes to experience life in as many ways as possible, and one of those ways is through your experiences. You cannot let Source down. You do not have to achieve anything. Just experience. En-JOY [...]
To Do or Not To Do
You speak of feeling overwhelmed. This is because you have allowed your thoughts and your to-do list to overtake your true nature. Go back to when you were a baby. You had no thoughts. You merely observed without giving meaning and therefore importance to all things. What if you were [...]
Why does gossip feel so good? It is one of ego’s greatest ploys. Talking in scintillating terms about another takes the attention off of your own faults. Ego wishes you to think you never do anything gossip-worthy. Ego wishes you to feel separate from others. If you were to keep [...]
Do-be-do-be-do
Are you dissatisfied with your life? Try a new way of being. Being is the opposite of doing. When doing, most people act in habitual ways, seemingly on automatic. In being, there is space. There is attunement. There is knowing. There is room for newness. It is a fresh approach [...]
