Wine serves a purpose. It pleases the palate when imbibed in moderation, but when too much is taken in, it does dull the very senses you aimed to please. Many bypass the palate in search of an anesthetic—a way to lessen the pain they experience from moment to moment. Life [...]

The grass grows tall and greenAnd in the spaces in betweenYou see lightWith great delight …… It is in the silence that you should delight as well. Your lives are filled with noise. What is noise, but the outward manifestation of vibration. What is vibration, but the creative manifestation of [...]

Note: A neighbor passed to the the other side yesterday, and this was very much on my mind all night. I thought I had pushed it to the background while meditating, but Sanaya addressed it quite well ...One you know has passed from the physical body. She no longer breathes [...]

Each moment of your life you start anew. There is only now. Because of your perception of time, you do see it as a line traveling from a past with a beginning and hurtling forward into some unknown future. We ask you to change your perception. See life from the [...]

You look upon anotherAnd see naught but a faceOr perhaps a body shapeOr perhaps the race.But these are all just markers—Indicators of a type,Like the difference ‘tween a horse’s hairAnd a zebra’s dark, black stripe.Inside is where to look, my friend,To know the person true.Beyond the face and bodyEach one [...]

Note from Suzanne: It happened again … last night I went to pick up a book that I’d been reading, but I had the urge to start another that had arrived earlier in the day from Amazon. I finished the introduction of the new book and was ready to turn [...]

Much evil has been done in the name of religion. Unfortunate misinterpretations of the teachings of various masters and abuse of power did lead and still does lead to the opposite results of the true purpose of religion. People band together to share their joy and love at discovering the [...]

God is in your little finger.God fits there.God is in a mighty oak.God fits there, too.God is in your every cell.God fills your every hair.God courses through your arteries.God flows through all of you.There is nowhere that God is not, for God fills all things. God is not a limited [...]

Note from Suzanne: At 2:30 this morning my husband and I got up and went outside to see the lunar eclipse. It was one of the most incredible sights I’ve ever witnessed. Gazing at the full, red moon, my heart was full as well. It was a spiritual moment for [...]

Be as a child; this we say.Go out this day, have fun, and play.Too much time you spend inside.It’s as if you want to hide.But sun and light are good for you.As is clean grass that’s wet with dew.Get back to nature; get outdoorsEven when the rain it pours.For this [...]

We speak so often of your trials and challenges, but today we speak of joy. Be childlike in your actions and your thoughts. Children know best how to express joy, for they have not yet accepted the false beliefs and negative thought patterns that take you away from being your [...]

Increase the temperature. Keep turning it up, for just as a roast cooks in the oven from the increased heat, you, too, toughen your skin by the same method. Of course we do not mean this literally, but we use this analogy to once again explain that you are forged [...]

Many times a couple does get together for the wrong reasons. They are attracted by physical desire--and there is nothing wrong with this--but then they do mistake their affection for each other for true love. The love they feel is quite often based on "How can you make me feel [...]

You have a song in which it is stated that one is the loneliest number. This is a fallacy, when you do come to understand that all is one. There is but one Mind. All of you who feel so alone are but part and parcel of this Mind. And [...]
