What Do You Expect?
Expectations … they follow a spectrum from high to low, from beyond the stars to none at all. From whence come these hopes and dreams or lack thereof? All come from a seed of an idea. All arise from the mind, and there they are left to you to grow. [...]
Get On With It
Take the time to stop every so often and remember why you are here. It is not to make money. It is not to constantly be doing. It is simply to be. "To be what?" you ask. To be an expression of your Source. If your Source is all goodness [...]
Center Yourself
We have spoken of zippers in the past … of how the teeth must fit together just so or they do not function. The same is true of your closet doors that ride a track. If not centered on the rail, they do not move as designed. Yet you push, [...]
Ever Upward
Do not meet hatred with hatred. Greet anger not with angst. These lower vibrations only add to the mix. Anger, hatred, and intolerance are the byproducts of ignorance. There is a reason you call darkness darkness. Such lower vibrations represent a lack of light. Light represents goodness, love, compassion, and [...]
Outside the Box
"Break out of the box." "They broke the mold when they made you." These are expressions of creativity, are they not? What kind of box have you placed around yourself? How do your thoughts box you in? Your spirit-essence does not exist in a box. It is boundless, limitless, and [...]
The Grand Reality
You currently perceive the world through your five senses, for this is where you place your attention. But does not a dog perceive the world differently? Yes, for it sees not the same colors as you do due to different physical receptors within the eye. And does not a plant [...]
Like a Child
Your sacred writings tell you to be as a child. There is great wisdom in this. Let us examine why. It is because of this very reason! The adult examines everything, dissects things, and then worries about them … sees the flaws in them, sees the impossibility, sees the limitation, [...]
Learning to Trust
Note from Suzanne: I felt a bit silly when I posted yesterday's message from Sanaya. I mean, really ... surfing? The whole "Cowabunga" thing seemed far from spiritual, but I've learned to trust what I hear. So ... I sat down last evening to continue reading a book I'd been [...]
Cowabunga! (Did we not promise you a bit of wit?)
What makes a wave rise? It is your laws of physics. Laws are in effect in all aspects of your world. Were this not so, there would not be growth, only chaos. Due to the laws of nature and the Law of Love, there is growth ever upward. You call [...]
Like a Child
A baby's smile lights up a room. So innocent are they. They draw those around them like a magnet. You want to touch their tiny toes, to stroke their hair, and to cuddle them to the breast. Why this attraction? It is the innocence. The purity. These new-born souls are [...]
The Magic of Creation
Mickey Mouse is one of your cartoon figures, created by a man of great vision—a man who had an idea and allowed it to grow into an empire. This Walt Disney created a kingdom, did he not? A magic kingdom where happiness reigns, filled with laughter, and joy, and colorful [...]
Oh God in the heavens, may I know that heaven is where I sit. May I feel your presence in all that I do. May I see you in every face and every flower. May I know you in every second and every hour. May there not be a moment [...]
Always in Control
At times your life goes off in directions you did not foresee. At times you feel a bit out of control. Never forget that it is not you who controls this great drama you call life. You play a vital part, but the drama would not exist, save for the [...]
High Praise
Flattery will get you anywhere. Why is this so? Because your fellow human beings are so very hungry for recognition and reassurance. Most only have the dimmest recognition that they are truly divine beings. Until fully awakened, they look outside themselves for goodness, love, and affirmation of their worth.Try it, [...]
This Living Metaphor
Glorious weather brings a smile to your lips. You raise your eyes to the sky and bask in the warm sunshine. Why this upliftment? Why do you not feel the same when the sky is gray and cloudy? All of life is a metaphor. All is simply a different way [...]
Perception is Reality
Fireworks light up your sky. You shout and clap in delight. Such a pleasure you cannot deny, Yet to some it does bring fright. They clap their hands upon their ears. They balk at all the noise. To some it's joy, to others fear, And total lack of poise. [...]
The Gift of Discernment
Do you remember as a child the excitement you did feel at the thought of a special holiday? If you did believe in Santa Claus, did this thought not make your very limbs tingle? This was a physical phenomenon brought about by the higher vibrations of joy. Do you realize [...]
More Than Tolerance
You speak of religious tolerance. We ask you to feel this word, "tolerance." Does it not have a bit of a negative vibration? Do you not "tolerate" bad behavior or a naughty child? Do you not "tolerate" medicine? We ask you to see others' spiritual beliefs and all beliefs which [...]
In the Face of a Storm
You are preparing for a storm. What do you do? You place heavy boards over large windows. You pick up objects which could fly about. All of these are protective measures. Do you not see that often you do prepare yourself in the same way in your mind for coming [...]
Embrace Life
Note from Suzanne: While hiking in the Adirondacks this week I took this photo of this amazing sight. (If the photo speaks to you, please share the link from this page with your friends). At the time, I tried to put into words in my mind what the scene meant [...]
Clearing the System
A cough is a natural way of ridding the body of an irritation. The muscles tense, and in a burst of air, the lungs, throat, and mouth are cleared. Through meditation and visualization you can do the same with your energy body. This is most helpful in clearing feelings of [...]
Finding Balance
You walk a tightrope between the physical and spirit world. It is a balancing act. Where you do you place your focus? You place your attention on this physical life, for that is why you are here—to learn from it and from the others around you … all of you [...]
Awake and Celebrate!
Oh, how you do disdain the physical body! “It is too large … It pains me here, and here, and here … This does not work right … This does not look right ...” Paradoxically, your complaints oft become even worse as you begin to awaken to your true nature [...]
Sensitivity
A cat’s whiskers are so very sensitive. They are small antennae that protrude from the face to detect and inform the cat about its surroundings. Would it not be useful to have such antennae? In fact, my friend, your entire energy field is like this. Vibrations around you do enter [...]
In Moderation
Moderation is the key to peace. Do you not see how these two concepts fit like a hand in a glove? You cannot have peace when you are experiencing either too much or too little of anything, be it good or bad. This is why those who know peace intimately [...]
Higher and Higher
You say that you are attempting to contact higher aspects of yourself. And then the doubt does creep in. "How can there be anything but this self that I know as 'me'?" For a lifetime you have placed your focus on "me," and it is this very myopia which has [...]
Dive Right In
In an effort to be and see only goodness, do not shut out the outer world. Yes, it is true: There beyond the Self is a world of duality—of good and evil, love and fear. This is why you are having this earth-bound experience: to learn from the differences. [...]
