With Focus
You say the mind wanders as if it is a thing. The brain is constantly processing sensations, thoughts, and feelings that arise from the One Field of Awareness. You are aware of these and put your attention on one after another without using your will to focus the attention on [...]
Just Breathe*
It is quite easy to get caught up in the story of your life. “What else is there?” you ask when trying to imagine life without the drama. There is simply being. This is a state you knew quite well when first you entered the body. You looked about you [...]
Adventuring
Here is a map. You can see the roads lined out quite clearly and you start down one with a known destination. And what if another destination has not yet been discovered? What if it is there but there is not yet a path? Could you not miss it? Might [...]
Connections
“But we have nothing in common!” you say when referring to another whose interests and beliefs may differ from yours, and there you err. You have humanity in common. You grieve, you cry, you hurt. You celebrate, you rejoice, you congratulate. The pains and pleasures of being human may at [...]
Let’s Chat
If you wish to go for a walk with a friend, more than likely you would chat the whole time, sharing your challenges and joys, receiving support and companionship. You would be grateful for the listening ear and open heart your friend brings. Do you not realize you have [...]
Love-Based
Love is all that matters. This may seem a nonsensical statement to those who are worried about putting food on the table and paying bills. This we understand. What we wish you to understand is that there are two ways with which to view your life: as a human, [...]
Ride the Wave
Circular movements represent the shape of creation. All arises from the void and returns again to silence. All is vibration. You arose from the mind of the Divine Mind, beginning as pure spirit and to Spirit you will return. You experience what you know as birth and death, but [...]
Pennies from Heaven
Pick a penny off the floor. How did it get there when nothing was there before? And then pennies begin to appear in other strange places. How can this be? Your world is not as solid as you think. If angels can appear when needed, could we not just [...]
Be the Light
It is easy to become discouraged when you read your headlines. You work to bring more love into your world. You do your best to be the presence of love, to see only goodness, and in less than one minute a single focus of ignorance brings pain to many. [...]
Connect
It is all about the connection. God could have remained alone. God knows only love, but there is something engendered through connecting that cannot be experienced until experienced. You can love yourself fully. You can enjoy your alone time, but to expand the heart outward is a pleasure unto [...]
A Single Step
A long journey begins with a single step. Do not worry about the distance you have to travel. Be aware only of being. You are. You, at another level, are neither here nor there, and you exist not in time, but in the timeless state of being. How does [...]
For the Connections
“But why would we come back for more?” you ask, and the answer is right before your eyes. When you enjoy a certain series of dramas on your television, do you not come to know the characters so well that they feel like family? Do you not want to know [...]
The Big Picture
Do your best not to catastrophize when unexpected news comes your way. When things seem to be going to Hell, you are in it in your thoughts. Pull yourself upward with a few deep breaths during which you are well advised to shift your attention to the heart. The head [...]
Shimmering
Love is the connective tissue that binds you all. Do not think of it as an emotion. The feeling you experience is the byproduct of the total connection. This is love. Could you see beneath the surface, so to speak, you would see that all of you exist in a [...]
In Here
You are all off-spring of one Mother-Father. You are imbued with the same qualities, which include intelligence, creativity, and awareness. You are out-here for the experiences, whatever they may be. Where do you find your Source? In-here. Love and compassion are in-herent. Kindness and service are in-herent. Doing the right [...]
The Bridge
When you are at a loss as to what to do, go within. The answers you seek are not “out there” as in the objective world you see with your eyes. Nor are they resident inside of you. As you shut out the outer world, a far greater world becomes [...]
Practicing
“What is your spiritual practice?” Perhaps you have been asked this. And perhaps you have answered that you meditate or do some other such activity that helps you feel closer to your Source. This is all well and good, but how about an idea? What if Life itself is [...]
By-Products
So many distractions. So many “others.” Or so it seems. It is the distractions that keep you in a state of other-dom. You choose your point of view from one moment to the next. Therefore, the next time you are feeling angry, frustrated, sad, bereft, or unfulfilled, choose to [...]
A New Focus
There comes a time when all that glitters loses its luster. You may still enjoy your comforts and pleasures, but life, itself, and its deeper meaning becomes the focus. Perhaps something has happened that has dropped you to your knees. Perhaps one you love has departed the physical and the [...]
