Flexibility
Zero tolerance—a term you use for when there are no exceptions to your rules. “There will be none of that, or you will have to pay the consequences.” A zero sum game. All or nothing. One or the other. Is this not a bit rigid? Is not life about experience [...]
More or Less?
“There is something more. There is something more. There is more, more, more …” A voice inside you repeats itself in an ongoing litany, pushing you, making you a seeker. But what is it you seek? Is it more riches, more friends, more accumulation of things? If so, then you [...]
Your Silver Lining
Silver linings on the clouds. What causes them? It is the bright light of the sun shining forth from behind this massive form. A light shines inside of you at all times. Do not at times others tell you that you have a glow about you? It is at these [...]
Without Looking
Be indiscriminate in your loving. Love everyone. Do not stop and look first. When you do that, your judgments get in the way. “Oh, that one has long hair and a beard. He is not one I would associate with.” “Oh, that one is overweight or too thin.” “Oh, that [...]
Heed the Call
A trumpet sounds, announcing a momentous event. "Pay attention," its clarion call says. It is the birth of a king. All kneel down in reverence.A voice speaks inside your head. It is not nearly so loud as the blare of a trumpet. In fact, it whispers. "I am here. Will [...]
In the Driver’s Seat
Ego so often gets in your way. He stands firmly in place, taking a hard stance, and says, “I am in charge here. Trust me. I will tell you what to do.” Quite a bossy fellow, Ego is. And what exactly is it that Ego gets in the way of? [...]
Ride it Out
After the storm comes the calm. This is a law of nature … something upon which you can rely when the winds swirl about you. You know that you need only bide your time, and peace will once again prevail. The same is true of this situation in which you [...]
Letting Go
Why are you so often disappointed? Because you have expectations. From whence come these desires? From the ego. Ego says, “I want this to happen a certain way. I want this person to do a certain thing.” Always it is your way and your desire for your outcome. Of course, [...]
Because You Love
One of your greatest challenges is to sit back and observe whilst one you love suffers through their own challenges. Why do you wish to help? Because you have suffered yourself and you wish to save them from pain. You have learned. You have gained wisdom and can see a [...]
In Digestion …
A Happy Meal – a special meal you purchase for your children to make them smile. It contains a toy—a tiny treasure to bring joy. Why are your adult meals often so joyless? You eat without mindfulness. Do you pay attention as your nourishment enters the body? Do you feel [...]
The Ride of Your Life
Fortitude. Strength. Determination. All of these signify a lack of weakness and the ability to stand firm in a storm. To many, strength is preferable over its opposite, but are there not benefits to both? Does not the twig break when it bends not? In this world of duality, you [...]
Your Choice
“Do as we say, not as you do” -- a bit of a twist on one of your sayings. So often you march off through your day acting on your own, as if you are connected to naught but your own mind. Then, when you err or encounter difficulties, you [...]
Adding Light
Barbaric were the pirates of long ago, looting and pillaging … creating havoc. And in this day and age you still have piracy. From the dark ages to your era of high technology, much has changed, yet still there remains darkness. Darkness is absolute. There is not a lot of [...]
Perception
What is a hallucination? It is when one perceives something with the physical eyes that others say is not real. What is real? What the mass consciousness has agreed upon. And so, when one person has an apparition that others have not, then the one is suffering from delusion. You [...]
What Difference?
A cat dies, and you grieve. A beloved pet gone from your life. Others may not understand. “How can you be so sad? It was only an animal!” In this we correct you. It was the object of love. It was a source of love. Was it any less valuable [...]
Still Right Here
Broken hearts mend slowly.It takes time to heal a wound.When what was had you now have lost,By grief you are consumed.See not the shell that's left behindWhen one you lost has now departed.Focus on the love you sharedThe high vibrations that you started.This energy stays with youEven though the person [...]
Sticky Fingers
Pickpockets—thieves who reach into your purse or pockets and steal your belongings without you even realizing it. So clever are they. So quick and nimble that you do not even know that you have been robbed until you discover that your valuables are gone. Do you not realize that you [...]
Your Church
So many of you enter a church one day a week to commune with God and with each other. The true church lies inside--a place, a space, a feeling where you can rest and commune with that part of you that is much greater than all of the parts put [...]
In Security
You need not sing your praises to another, merely model your best behavior and let others decide what to think. Others are far more concerned with what you think of them. All need to boast and worry of what others think stems from insecurity. Look at the root of this [...]

Watching …
Serendipity. Coincidence. Chance encounters. To you they are magical; to us, mundane. When you watch a movie, can you not oft see the outcome coming? You, as the observer, see the actions of one character. The scene shifts and you see those of another. “Ah, yes, their paths are going [...]
Take a Deep Breath
Yes, it is all about love. We will give you more evidence that we are real, for we know you want this, but just as you desire others to feel and experience our loving energy, so do we wish to share it. Can you ever hear this message of love [...]
Love – In Any Dimension
Why such an interest in past lives? Do you not have enough to learn and do in this one? Yes, we understand it is fascinating. Understand us well: You have experienced other lives and are doing so in this very moment, for there is only the now. But does this [...]
