Hold that thought. What perfect instructions for creating what you want. And if that thought serves the greater good, creating an experience that you may not have had yet, you will see it come to fruition. Examine those thoughts. Which ones are you holding that do not serve the greater [...]
Not everything is emotional. Your cravings or bad moods may have physical causes. Are you over-tired? Stressed in some physical way? Yes, of course spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical are all interlinked, but at times your cravings and less than positive feelings stem from the physical. Be aware that often [...]
Where there is rage, there is a deeper issue than the surface challenge which triggered this super level of anger. Study your reaction. Do others respond so dramatically? Rage is a signal, an invitation to uncover past hurts from this lifetime or previous ones which are in need of healing, [...]

Are you always rushing? Ask yourself why. Life has a flow, and it is a steady one. Like you, your earth has its own vibration, its own hum. It does not rush. Rushing comes from inner thoughts that say, “have to, need to, must, and should.” Do you hear these [...]
Instinct. There are certain behaviors you see in animals that defy explanation. How do they know to do that? It is inbred. Did you know that loving is the same? If you are not feeling the desire to reach out to another when they are hurting, you have shut off [...]
The ability to help others is indeed a blessing. You have a built-in pleasure meter within, and it spikes when you connect with others. You are naturally drawn to be of service, for connection is your true nature. Even the slightest instance of lending a hand or a smile fulfills [...]
Trust what you hear inside. Yes, of course, at times they may be your thoughts, born of your unique belief system and experiences, but at other times the words you hear are insightful beyond your normal thoughts. From where did those come? There is ultimately only One Mind, one Sea [...]
If others speak untruths about you, there is an immediate desire to defend. This is human nature. You as spirit know Truth. You know if you have done right or wrong. If you have done nothing wrong and your words would not be heard, ask your Self if you might [...]

Yes, you can compare yourself to others, but what does it matter? Are you content? Do you feel that doing what others do is going to make you content? Peace and contentment are not found outside the self. They are found by finding the True Self. It is here, right [...]
It is quite easy to become a slave to the body. You are trained to respond to its demands. You feel the slightest twinge of hunger, and you eat. You feel the slightest dry mouth, and you drink. A bit of pain, and you take an aspirin. There is nothing [...]
What happens when, to use one of your phrases, you wall yourself off? You literally erect an energetic barrier. These do not always come down by themselves. If you are feeling out of sorts, irritable, or not yourself, think back to when you might have been at odds with [...]
You cannot stop the hands of time. You cannot change change. Movement is life. Movement IS. All is in motion, an ongoing, ever-flowing exchange of information, ever onward, ever upward. This is evolution. This is life in expression. You may see a thing deteriorating and call it the opposite of [...]
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 [...]
You remember the games. In one, you drew with two knobs, turning them left and right to draw lines and arcs, and when you were finished, you shook the whole frame to erase your masterpiece. In the second, you drew on a board with a stylus, and when you were [...]
Never is there a time when you are not watched over like a baby playing with others while the parents look on. You are not the first to go through this earthly experience. Those who have gone before you have learned the ropes. They know the challenges. From their higher [...]
Gratitude. Practice it often. Nothing will bring you into alignment faster. Alignment with what? With the Source of All Goodness, the Source of all for which you are grateful. But do not deceive yourself and think for a moment that you are separate from this Source. Alignment with the Field [...]
Catch yourself the moment a thought arises. Is it old, habituated, worn out by use? Does it serve you? Or is it fresh, new, and arising from some place other than the storehouse of your memories? You can control your thoughts if you choose to do so. Remain aware. Remain [...]
You can change channels at will on your television and radio. You pick up a remote or speak to some voice-recognition helper and in an instant, your experience changes. Do you not realize that you can change your experience with the remote control within? It is called “intent.” Firmly take [...]
