Sit quietly with eyes closed until you can feel your heartbeat without using the fingers. There it is, continuously doing its job of maintaining you in this physical experience. What is it that keeps the heart beating? It is not the mind. It is the soul. And beyond that? What [...]

“I lost it,” you may say when referring to throwing a tantrum or other such extreme behavior. And what is it you have lost? Awareness, dear one. Awareness of your True Nature and your deepest state. You were caught up in the swirling energies of a mental and emotional storm [...]

Be open to anything. Of course you do not wish to look foolish. To be open to something means to consider the possibilities. Your human world may seem limited, but it and you arise from a field far more vast than anything you know in your limited perspective within a [...]

Look around you. What do you see? If you are conditioned to see the human way, you see an object here, an object there. Perhaps people, pets, and property. I see differently. I see flow. I see not objects with space in between, but one united tapestry where “space” is [...]

To what or whom do you give your allegiance? Do you honor a story that has accumulated from the first moment those in authority over you gave you a name and told you who you are? Or do you honor the Voice within that tells you without words that you [...]

What is a heretic? One who goes against accepted wisdom. Are you willing to be a heretic? You need not speak your inner Truth aloud if it causes angst. Embrace it. Roll around with it awhile. Roll around in thoughts of being love and loving all others until the idea [...]

Do not ever think that you have learned it all. When you reach a point that no new information seems to be coming forth, this is merely a fertile time of resting and integrating what has already been learned. Why come into this incarnation if not to continue growing? Hear [...]

“You’re on a streak,” someone tells you, and you feel good. But now the pressure begins. The human side of you, which you would understand as the ego, feels it must continue the streak at all costs. And what is that cost? Peace, dear one. Why is it so important [...]

Gratitude is the great equalizer. All that you have and all that you appear to own are possible thanks to the one Web of connections. Yes, there are disparities. Through the contrast you are given opportunities. One disparity may cause envy. Another may cause pride. These may cause you to [...]

What is consciousness but awareness, your most basic essence. Why does it matter to pay attention to this? When you are not aware, it is far easier to suffer. What if you did not know that all is connected at the deeper levels? Then you would feel separate, alone, and [...]

Philosophy. A field of study in which you investigate the mind and thought. Do you know that most cannot even agree upon a definition of mind? It is for this reason that you will have those who spend a lifetime philosophizing about this formless aspect of you in a form. [...]

Do you really want to know how the story ends? Do you read from the back of a book to the front? No, you start at the beginning and enjoy the suspense as it builds. This is true in life as well, but instead of being simply a by-stander, you [...]

Mistakes happen. Do you chew on them endlessly, wondering how you might have done things better, reworking the scenarios in your mind over and over? This is the human way. Recognize the tendency, and then see mistakes for what they are: natural results of working by trial and error that [...]

What if that other who you judge has been wearing different lenses their whole life? What if both of you were unaware that you differ in your perceptions for both of you wear different sunglasses? The same light is here, yet the filters of the lenses shade the way you [...]

Does it matter what others think of you? To the human side it does, for approval means love. To the soul, which knows it is Love incarnated in a human body, you know that all of you arise from the same Source. The soul cares more about loving others and [...]

A swirling maelstrom. This is what you might call a storm of great proportions. It is quite easy to get sucked into patterns that swirl. Take notice how this happens in crowds of people and in conversations one-to-one when another becomes quite animated. You may be susceptible to these attractive [...]

What does it mean to be “in your own little world?” You are part of something so vast that the human mind cannot wrap its head around it. And so, you use attention to focus outward and inward like the lens of a camera. At times you narrow the focus [...]

The way a baby gazes at you with such interest … this is you at another level: curious about the world. Nonjudgmental. Aware of your total connection with all that you see. Could you but see the world once again in the way you did when first you entered this [...]

What do you see when you look outside of you? Do you see beauty or blemishes? Of course, both are present, but even in the midst of near-perfection, the brain will draw you to the flaw. Be aware of this built in tendency. This awareness is the remedy. Yes, pay [...]

Trust Spirit in all things. You have learned not to trust other humans, and at times this is well warranted, for many is the human who has shut off their awareness of their inner guiding Light. But this Light is within you. In point of fact, it is You at [...]

“Please help me.” This prayer is an acknowledgment that you cannot do it all on your own. Oh, how the human wants to be independent. Do not let the ego fool you. Inside and outside and beyond all sides is a part of you that cannot be separated from you [...]

When you say you are broken, be aware of what this actually means. You can break a physical bone, but you cannot break the soul. You may hurt more deeply than you have ever hurt, but what is broken is your awareness of your ongoing connection with all that is [...]

When one you love in the physical world departs to the next chapter of their ongoing existence, be aware of the words you use to describe this transition. They did not leave you. They did not leave the body. The energy that fueled the body’s existence is no longer doing [...]

It all fits together. You may not be able to see the whole puzzle at once, and so you become confounded. What if you had the angel’s eye view? Imagine seeing the finished picture before you began piecing the puzzle together? The analogy is not exact, for your free will [...]

Hubris. When you think you can do it better or best without assistance and come out on top. Can you sense a bit of ego entwined with this word? There is not judgment in our message today, only a hint to remain aware of how hubris can sink you when [...]

Surprises come in many forms. It is the element of what is not expected that makes them a surprise. If you knew exactly how everything was going to unfold, where would be the joy? Where would be the wonder? Do you not enjoy a bit of anticipation? Why worry if [...]

Be aware of the power you give to physical objects. That favorite stone or other such thing you own? You believe it has a special power. Indeed, all objects carry unique frequencies, and some are more helpful than others. But what if you lose or break that special-to-you object? Then [...]

Yes, so much is hidden in plain sight. The brain keeps you focused on certain aspects of life that fit its program, but you have existed for all time—long before you had a brain. And you will continue to exist long after it has returned to dust. Yes, forever after. [...]

You have a team of helpers across the veil. Do you know this? Have we not told you that you do not and cannot act in isolation? It is energetically impossible. Even if you do not sense or believe this, what would it hurt for you to pretend that it [...]

Monitor your state of mind. Like taking your pulse, sometimes it speeds up, and sometimes it slows down. And if you are diligent about this monitoring, you will come to notice that sometimes it is just right. This is optimum for maintaining the peace that is resident within you here, [...]
