You find detritus . . . bits of a plant with teeth marks . . . and you make an assumption that a small animal has brought it to this place. You are basing this understanding on the evidence before you. Now you know that the animal exists, yet you [...]

Death is not the end, because consciousness does not have a beginning and end. Consciousness exists and expresses now through you reading words and now through being in the eternal now. Whether or not consciousness as you is reading words or taking out the trash or floating amidst the clouds [...]

Guardedness. Are you even aware when you are in this state? A tell-tale sign is when you do not enjoy yourself in a crowd. It is natural to want to protect yourself from perceived dangers, but are you in danger at a party? The story you tell yourself may contain [...]

Your very name keeps you feeling separate from others. But what if you have a name that is quite common? Does that make you like all those who share the same name? Not at all. You have your unique characteristics and experiences that differentiate you. That is your story. But [...]

Do you know how many people appreciate you? Truly, have you paused to consider this lately? Perhaps you take for granted the things you do for others. Perhaps you assume that people take you for granted. Pause today, why don’t you? Truly pause and revisit the many times people have [...]

And so, you are given a deadline. Does it hang over your head like a sword on a thread whilst you put it off to the last minute or do you dive in immediately to get it out of the way? Could there be a better way? What if you [...]

And so, you do not like the word “surrender.” It causes friction within as you consider an imbalance of power. Do you know that by resisting what is flowing around and through you, you impede the flow? “But that is exactly what I want to do!” you say, for you [...]

You read a name and then you meet a person by that name. An image arises in the mind’s eye and then you encounter this image as you go about your day. What is happening here? You may call these moments “God-winks” and it is an appropriate term for the [...]

And so, you experience Joy, and you want others to experience it as well. This is quite natural. Suffering leads to relief, and along the way you grow in wisdom. You wish to impart wisdom to others and alleviate their suffering. This is also quite natural. But if you truly [...]

Where there is love, differences remain but lose their charge. In the expanded state of seeing what connects all beings, all is accepted. That which is “not you” is noticed but not judged to the point of rejection. Love is the great equalizer. It says, “We may have surface differences, [...]

“Now do you remember?” What is remembering, but the re-experiencing of experience. Sensations, thoughts, and feelings, the ST-F of life arise in awareness. These re-create an experience that you call a memory, but there is only ever the experience of this, here, now . . . Aware Awareness simply be-ing. [...]

You are both a body-mind and Awareness itself. The two operate together but are often sensed through different lenses. Are you nervous? This is the nervous system. Is there a part of you that is aware of being nervous, yet simply says, “Isn’t that interesting?” This is Awareness. When you [...]

There is no end to the learning. You learn from your mistakes. You learn from teachers. You learn from pain. You learn from pleasure. Experience is your teacher. And what is learning? Comparing what you are experiencing now with what you have experienced in the past and deciding if the [...]

You are playing Blind Man’s Bluff. Do you not recall how in this game one willingly puts on a blindfold and allows themselves to be led around? This is what you as Source in expression decided to do to have the human experience. You willingly chose to become blinded, if [...]

You are given precisely what you need as you need it. Do you yet realize this? As you trust the truth in this phrase and place more awareness on how life unfolds for you and as you, you will see more of the connections . . . the web. How [...]

Yes, time flies when you look back at a moment and count how many years have passed. You experience surprise, for some eras and experiences are so deeply embedded in awareness that “it seems like only yesterday.” And what of those who you love who have passed? Are they ageing? [...]

Are you ready to try something new? Do you feel a shiver of excitement rise up from within with the very thought of this? From where does this excitement come? What is this “within”? There is a well of potential that seems to be inside of you but is [...]

Making excuses. Have you found yourself doing so? Of course, for the human does not always agree with what is before it. The soul flows. The soul adapts by making choices that serve the highest good. This is not meant to make one feel guilty. It is given as a [...]

And so, perhaps you go overboard. And you berate yourself for being human. And what do you do next? Perhaps you go overboard in the other direction to make up for your perceived transgressions. And why does this happen? Imbalance, dear one. The pendulum continues to swing a bit too [...]

Do you see the perfection in what is manifesting about you? If not, your human filters are blinding you. Of course, human ideas of perfection are a bit different from those of the soul. The soul, without filters, can see the web of connections and how each strand fits together. [...]

As you awaken to the Truth of your essence—that you are what you are seeking—you may wonder then, “If I am Awareness itself, why do I not have instant access to all facts, all awareness?” And we remind you of your dual nature as both human and soul. You as [...]

Are you ready to go to the next level in your journey? You know you are. What gives you this knowing? The soul that you are is shining through the layers of human story that have occluded this soul-awareness until now. You have been doing the “work” of excavation. Why? [...]

Do you rush to complete a task or do you focus upon why you are doing it? If you do a thing simply because it has been asked of you and there is no mindfulness, we dare say there will also be little to no pleasure. Imbue your work with [...]

“Are we having fun yet?” This is a phrase often said with wry humor when life becomes more challenging than usual. It is a way of acknowledging with irony that you are going through a rough patch and things could be better. And you are correct. Life may not always [...]

How do you differentiate knowing from doubting? With knowing, there are no words. With doubting, thoughts run around in the head like a hamster on a wheel. With knowing, one must provide words after the fact. And yes, it is facts that one knows when one merges so completely with [...]

When you are in a group that is buoyant, do you feel uplifted as well? When you are in a toxic environment, do you experience the toxicity? These questions should prove meaningful to you. Some are more sensitive than others. Be aware of how others’ energy affects you. Without blame, [...]

Yes, you carve out time for stillness in the morning. But what of the rest of the day? And most especially, what about those times when you are weary from so much activity that it is far easier to forget you are a soul playing a role? Why, then this [...]

Peanut butter and jelly. What a strange combination of textures, flavors, and visuals. And yet, together they produce a most pleasant sensory experience. You can change whether the butter is smooth or crunchy and what fruity flavor infuses the jelly. Yes, LIFE is about choices and trying new combinations. By [...]

And so, you have turned a page, opening a new calendar to mark the progress of time. And what of the world beyond time? Do you know it? Have you spent time examining it? Experiencing it? This timeless state is far closer to your true essence than the role you [...]

Blessings. What are these? They come in limitless forms. Blessings are gifts that seem to come from a higher place bestowed upon you for no reason other than you are worthy. And oh yes, dear one, you are worthy of blessings. You are worthy of health, happiness, and love. If [...]
