Change and Growth
Be prepared for change, for change is coming. It is the Law of Life. Everything changes in perfect order. Life is about growth. Can you stop a plant from growing? Only by removing Life. You are the same as the plants and trees which arise from a seed and grow [...]
Competition
Competition … is it a good thing? It is if it serves to bring out the best in the human form and thereby reveal the greatness of that which impels the human form—pure Spirit. It is when competition serves only the ego, that those involved in the competition do lose [...]
Passion and Purpose
Each one has a purpose. It is up to the individual to discern what it is and why you have chosen this experience in human form. The purpose of man in general is to learn to love more fully … to express your true nature, which is love. It is [...]
This Proving Ground
Do you know that you come here for a reason? This is a proving ground—a realm in which you arrive knowing that you are spirit, but then do deliberately forget this. It seems strange, but do you not see the perfection? In order to remember what you have forgotten, you [...]
The Mirror of Life
Upon reflection, you realize that you were wrong. Upon reflection, the hurt you caused another is shown to you. In another’s eyes what do you see, but your reflection? Do you not see that all of you suffer the same pain, the same grief, the same emotions, the same joy? [...]
Let Your Tears Flow
Weeping willow trees … their branches hang limply. Why do they weep? It is as if all of the strength has gone out of their limbs. Do you not feel the same way at times? Crying can leave the physical body weak and limp, but it is a cleansing process. [...]
Poem #406 – Visitors in the Night
Visitors in the night …Are they real?They seem so closeTheir breath you can feel.You reach out to touch themAnd then they vanishBut their memory nowYou cannot banish.Treasure these momentsThese elusive dreamsThe ones you question,“Was that what it seems?”Yes, my friend,‘Twas a loved one’s kissA way to acknowledgeThey know you do [...]
A Simple Recipe

Be Fearless
Fear is a subtle killer. It kills your dreams and it kills your hopes. It comes in the form of thoughts which tell you that you are not good enough or that you will not meet the expectations of yourself or others. Fear is a by-product of the ego, for [...]
Ego vs. Spirit
Carry on, even when the road gets bumpy. You may wish to stop exposing yourself—always so vulnerable to attack, but this is the ego that says, “Look out. Be on guard. We do not want opposition.” It is the spirit that says, “All is in perfect order. Fear not. Simply [...]
Come Out, Come Out, Wherever You Are
Do not retreat into your cave when things do not go as you wish. There is a difference between going within and sitting in the silence and going within a physical hiding place and sitting in solitariness. It is far better when suffering to be with other souls. Do not [...]
Compassion
Compassion … caring for another … feeling their pain and understanding how they feel. Compassion comes from knowing that at your core you are all the same. Even one who has no understanding of the truths of the Spirit can have compassion for another human, for the human experience is [...]
A Taste of Heaven
What is death, but a shift in your state of consciousness? In one state, you focus on the physical world, seeing through the eyes, interpreting all by how it looks, or feels, or sounds, and you think that these external things are the only reality. And then, in the blink [...]
Poem #405 – This Path You’re On
Bellows stoke the fire.Air does fan the flames.What began as just a sparkNow as a giant roar remains.The path to your awakeningIs a bit like this.There is no turning back, my friend,Once you do taste the bliss.You have that tiny spark right now.It’s waiting to be fanned.By thoughts and dreams [...]
*** Barriers
Barriers … walls you erect around yourself with your thoughts. “Do not come too close,” say the invisible signs which hang there. The walls themselves are invisible—so see-through that at times you are not even aware you have erected them. Of what are they made, these walls that keep others [...]
Chocolates for the Soul
Chocolates for the soul … little morsels of wisdom that you do collect and digest for the pleasure they bring. Perhaps you keep a small diary of these delectable treats—words which speak to your heart and make it sing … words which remind you that this world of meat and [...]
Trees vs. Forest
Hidden in the forest lies the answer to the puzzle. You cannot see the big picture, for you see only details—tiny pieces of the puzzle. One appears to be a great oak tree, and so you think the world is made of oak trees. You step a bit farther along [...]
Color Your World
The sky appears blue, but is it really this color? What is color, but different vibrations along the spectrum of light? You vibrate as well, and your color changes with your thoughts and emotions… at times blue, at times red with anger, at times yellow with fear. Understand that we [...]
Resonance
What is resonance, but when two or more waves enjoy compatibility in their frequency. You know a kindred spirit immediately upon meeting by the very feeling they produce in you. This is resonance. Your energetic signatures—your personal vibrational frequencies—are in tune, not dissonant. Energy is malleable. It changes in accordance [...]
Believe
Those who believe in miracles do experience them. What is a miracle, but an event or action beyond the normal human experience? Do you not yet understand that there occur events and actions far beyond the human experience at all times? There exist dimensions upon dimensions. All co-exist and inter-mingle, [...]
Look Straight Ahead
When watching the sun rise over your ocean, from anywhere you look upon the horizon the sun is straight ahead. How do you explain this miracle? It is quite simple: As above, so below. From anywhere you look, the Source of All Love is straight ahead as well as there [...]
Poem #404 – Not Without Some Pain
Sounds of creation: creaks and groansAnd what at times do sound like moans.But is it suffering that you hear?Let us make this perfectly clear …Does not the mother cry in pain?When giving birth she moans the same.For creation is a wondrous thing.These creaks and groans pure joy do sing.A bit [...]
Feeling Very Human …
Note from Suzanne: Just before walking into my study to meditate, I read the blaring headlines that 10 years after 9/11, Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the attacks, had been killed. My immediate reaction was very human. It was relief, not joy, but still it flew in the face [...]
Points of Light
You are all points of light. Billions of stars light the sky, but are the stars the source of light, or merely a reflection of it? You know the answer. And so we say to you yet again: As above, so below. Billions of souls walk about your planet, but [...]
