Find the common ground. One of you may be on the mountain and one in the valley. It is challenging to hear each other when so far away. All roads ultimately lead to the same place, do they not? Not in the physical world, but in the world that [...]

The temperature rises and falls quite naturally in the natural world. It remains steady within four walls when you take measures to control it. This is part of the human challenge: You can control your own emotional heat and cooling only to a certain extent. The body’s reactions override this [...]

Misunderstandings occur due to language differences. You know what you are trying to express, but the other does not receive your words in the way you intended them. Be impeccable with your words, indeed, but if the word you choose is not part of the other’s vocabulary or perhaps used [...]

We are in this for the long haul. It is challenging to haul something heavy across a surface. Friction causes heaviness. Rise above the differences in texture and there is no friction. We see you from above. We can help you from this spaceless place where there is no friction. [...]

There comes a time when you need to step back and evaluate, “How is that working for you?” You often know long before you make that pause that this certain way of doing things is not working, and yet you persist. Why? For to change may cause pain. To change [...]

Are you willing to try a new way of doing things? Trust us: the world will give you feedback immediately. This is the way of things in a reality in which the body is a barometer and an instrument of voicing opinions, pointing out better ways, and running away when [...]

We are making up for lost time. Do you not say this from time to time? Look how you are ruled by the concept of two hands that chase each other around the face of a clock in quite a mechanistic race of getting nowhere. Do not make up for [...]

Taking sides causes finger pointing. Taking sides is the human way. And where are there no sides? Within a circle. And what does the circle represent? Complete oneness and unity. Such a concept makes no sense to one who is in a box. Such a concept makes sense only when [...]

Disdain is a form of judgment. You call it “looking down your nose” for good reason. When you feel yourself higher than another and look down upon them, you are not seeing eye to eye. You may not always agree with another at the human level, but at the deepest [...]

You may grow discouraged as you see your fellow human beings treat each other badly. When will the brutality end? When you cross the veil, dear one. But do not leave yet. You came into a body for the fullness of the experience, which includes trying out all the ways [...]

What if you died today and met your loved ones face to face? Those who have done so in what you call your Near Death Experience and came back to share their stories assure you this is what happens. And why did they come back? At the soul level, [...]

Note from Suzanne: The date of September 11 causes many of us to reflect on the events that happened 22 years ago. I was stationed at the Pentagon the first time in 1995, working in the Navy section. There was a civilian man who wandered the halls every day handing [...]

Uplifting others. How often do you do so? It is a gift you can give freely—a kind of service. It takes very little effort, time, or cost. A word of encouragement, a smile, a listening ear that says, “You matter.” And the most wondrous result: in uplifting others, you [...]

That is what you are. Do you not yet realize this? Why are you drawn to a magnificent view, a magnificent mountain … magnificence of any kind?  It is because like attracts like.  You came from Magnificence. Magnificence is all there is, trying so very hard to express itself. [...]

Are you up to the task? You need do nothing. You do not have to rise to any challenge, but why is there this urge within you to try? For you are an aspect of Consciousness, and Consciousness so enjoys growing, expanding, and building upon that which has come [...]

Love your anxieties. Love them to pieces. Literally. As you become aware of that anxious, prickly feeling in the body—the one that comes with a voice that says, “I must, I have to, what if I do, what if I don’t …” – grasp it gently like an object, [...]

How long has it been since you reminded yourself, “I AM in this world, but not of it”? This does not mean that you forsake your earthly life, disdain it, judge it, or run away from it by going to live in a cave. It is meant as a [...]

“Dance with me” … three words which make your heart sing when you wish to enjoy the closeness of another.  It is a special time of bonding, this act of dancing.  Do you know that all of life is a dance?  “Dance with me,” Spirit says to you, but [...]

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” [...]

Mistakes are made. You are human, and humans learn by trial and error. If what you did or said caused yourself or another pain, then you do not want to repeat this. You change your ways. You make amends. You learn, “That did not work. There is a better [...]

Can you make a flower grow any faster?  Perhaps by speaking to it lovingly, focusing your intention upon it, and giving it exactly the right amount of water, sunlight, and fertilizer. You know these are the elements it needs to grow and that it will not do so without [...]

Cycles. All of life follows them. You experience a period of heightened connection, thinking it is the new norm, and then the connection drops off a bit. Do not be discouraged. Each time you cycle, you go a bit higher, for these are not closed cycles when referring to [...]

You are aware of the so-called “placebo effect.” When you believe a pill will make you better, it does, even if it contains no real medicine. This is the power of your thoughts. Consciousness creates reality. And so, what if you put a jar of jellybeans on your kitchen counter [...]

Serendipity — when you did not expect a thing to happen, and it did so in a most delightful way. It is a bit different from synchronicity, when things happen with a timing and meaning that shows you the web of which you are a part. Now combine synchronicity with [...]

Natural Rhythm: Why, after remaining still for a while, do you simply have to move? Some may say it is simply the way the body is, and in a way, this is correct. But more specifically, this is mimicking the natural rhythm of Love In Full Expression (LIFE). There [...]

There is no perfection, for that would indicate an end state. Rather, there is ongoing evolution as well as involution—a constant unfolding and folding of Consciousness as It experiences Itself. What does this mean for you? You can strive all you want for perfection, but you will never get [...]

When a pattern in your experience of Life changes, you are knocked off balance. Some patterns have been present for quite a while. Others may not have been lengthy in terms of time, but they created a strong impression and thus held a strong imprint. Regardless of the duration [...]

Be kind to each other. This is all we ask of you moment to moment. Be aware that when tired or distracted, it is easy to lash out. With awareness, you can counter this natural tendency, yet awareness also disappears when the human side of you is under stress. [...]

“I understand,” you say, but do you really? Have you thoroughly and completely entered the mind of the other? You can do so from a state of alignment and oneness, but most of the time in the world of time and space you are still imposing your own viewpoint [...]
