Criticism ... a deeper, more harmful form of judgment. When you judge, you are, in effect, looking at another and saying, “You and I are separate.” When you judge, you see the differences instead of that which binds you—the Spirit, which is pure love at its essence.Criticism is far more [...]

Your loved ones watch over you. This, many of you suspect, but you look for proof. “How can you prove that which you cannot touch?” This, the skeptics among you ask. But those of you more prone to sensing, those of you who understand the meaning of faith and the [...]

The lesson for today is faith. There is a world of difference between your world and ours—between the physical world in which you now walk and our world or pure spirit. Your scientists may try as they may to prove the existence of a spirit world, but always they will [...]

Fortune seekers … those who take great risks in hope of gaining great treasure. Always there is the excitement of anticipation that they will finally “hit it rich” and never again have to worry. But even for those who do find gold, although they may have much physical comfort and [...]

Birds do fly and soar, enjoying what appears to be far greater freedom than you with the heavy physical body which keeps you so firmly rooted on the ground. But make no mistake—you can soar like a bird as well. To gain your wings and fly, first realize what you [...]

Step outside yourself. This we have told you before. But what do we mean? You allow your body to define your boundaries. To so many, the world of awareness ends at the skin, but this is an illusion. The body is a vessel—true—but you exist far more around and beyond [...]

Perfection is not so easily attained, yet you strive for this. The goal is not a bad one, but the trouble comes when you fail to achieve this ever-elusive state and feel somehow less than you are. At your essence, you are perfect already. You are perfect Love, for your [...]

A fellow human beingWho walks upon the earthFeels the same emotionsWhich you have felt from birth.You think that you’re aloneAs you struggle and you toil,But all do face the same great testsAs they walk upon the soil.No human is exempt from pain.No one does go withoutThe sorrows and the loss [...]

Behold the blue sky. Is the sky truly blue, or is this just the play of light? It is the latter, for does not the sky’s color change quite frequently?All of life is the play of Light—God’s Light. You are an actor in this play—not a puppet on strings, but [...]

Received from the spirit world in the final three minutes of my meditation:You look with dread upon the dead,Thinking it’s the end.But there is far more to this life--This message we do send.Do not think that what you seeIs truly what is real.Nor are the things you hear and taste,Nor [...]

Where you place your focus is what you bring to yourself. It is the Law. So sit and ask yourself, what do I wish to manifest in this life? By the same token, take notice when things you do not desire in your life continue to manifest. What is it [...]

Forgiveness—a topic which arises quite often in our lessons, for yes, it is one of the lessons so many of you struggle with the most. Forgiveness is a gift. It is a form of surrender, but not a form of weakness. When you can sit back and release all blame, [...]

Growing old is never easy, as you watch your loved ones depart from this world … as you watch the changes in your body and theirs … but is not all of life about change? You have seen the changes in the seasons your whole life. All of life expresses [...]

There are those who are always waiting … waiting for something better to come along … never satisfied with their current circumstances. Can you not see from your vantage point that they will never be satisfied, for to them satisfaction lies in something that has not yet happened. Are you [...]

Further effort is not always necessary when you begin to achieve success on a project. Know that evidence of success is a sign that you are in the flow. That is to say, that your mind and thoughts are working in harmony with the higher good and that all is [...]

Competition and cooperation—two words which begin with similar letters, but on a spectrum are as far apart as they can be. What is competition, but the purest evidence that there exists a sense of separation. And why do two people compete? For the ego’s need to prove just how separate [...]

Blockages. We speak of them often. And so we ask you, “Blockages of what?” Of the Life Force. Blockages of that which animates you … gives you life. This Life Force flows through you at all times, for if not, you would not survive in this world. You would pass [...]

Note from Suzanne: A poem! Last night I was discussing with friends that we love Sanaya’s words, but we miss the poetry. This morning Sanaya gave us a gift. When I felt the rhythm of the words and heard the rhyme my heart soared. The phrases came as fast as [...]

Cherish the moments you spend by yourself. So often you try to fill the time with noise—the television or music play in the background as if to blot out the silence. Of what are you afraid? Of hearing your own thoughts? Of getting to know yourself? What is so bad [...]

Have you ever had a puppy lick your face? Then you have experienced pure love … love without conditions. In that simple gesture you feel the flow of goodness and acceptance of who you are, with no concern for what you may have done in the past or what you [...]

What does it matter who or what you are? Are titles and labels so important? Look at those who cease to work and suffer great depression at the perceived loss of their identity. This is ignorance—ignorance of your greatest Truth.You need no labels or titles to be the most powerful [...]

Ask and you shall receive. This is the way your world works. “But I have asked quite often and see no results,” you say. Let us explain. First, please understand that you must pay attention to how you ask. Be most deliberate in your wording. Quite often you will receive [...]

All of your needs are provided. This you have heard over the years, and yet you see the beggar on the corner with his sign. And where is his provision? Why do some go homeless and without food? It is because they are living in darkness. Call it ignorance, if [...]

Love is the antidote. And what is an antidote, but a substance given when one has been affected by poison. There are so many poisons in your world … hate, anger, jealousy, judgment … all of these things which are the direct opposite of the qualities of God. You have [...]

When others do not think as you do, when others complain or make a fuss where you would not have, this does tend to ruffle your feathers, but this kind of reaction in yourself is habitual. Habits can be broken. If you find that you habitually react to others who [...]

You wish to laugh? You wish for words of wit? Why do you think this is? Why does laughter feel so good to you? It is because it is all part of that Power which flows through you which is all goodness. Do you not see that you are here [...]

As you travel down the road, you see yourself passing by all around you. Is this illusion, or is it real? Change your perspective as you gaze at the road. Imagine, instead, that you are perfectly still and the road is passing under your feet. The scenery is flying by [...]

Each of you has a ministry. You minister unto others when you take the time to care for them more than yourself. The self is so very self-absorbed. This you call the ego. Do not denigrate the ego, for it plays a very important role. It allows you to fulfill [...]

You wander at times as if lost, wondering, “Which way should I turn?” But your life comes with no directions. You are left to interpret the map as you are. “Should I take the high road or the low? The main road or the back road? And if I do, [...]

You are so much greater than you have been led to believe. You are not trapped in this body. You are limitless, and once you understand this and begin to act from that place of limitlessness, then the entire universe opens up to you. Surrender. It is the ego that [...]
