Homebound … a word you use for those who must remain within the boundaries of a physical dwelling. Some feel trapped in this state, for they cannot exercise their freedom to get out and about and interact with the world. Many are homebound in a different sense and do not [...]
“There is nothing new under the sun” – yet another of your expressions. Nothing that we say to you here may strike you as new or novel. In fact, much may seem quite repetitious. There is a method in our madness. Through the repetition, the ideas are cemented in your [...]
You can kill the body, but you cannot kill the soul. The spirit is eternal. When one takes the life of another deliberately, there is always payment at a soul level. Judgment comes not from a vengeful deity, but from within the self-same soul. Judge not another, for that other [...]
And so it is the day you call Sunday—merely a convenience to mark the passage of moments. One day is no different than another … one moment no different than the next. But this “Sunday” is special to many, for they have chosen this day to rest and to honor [...]

We wish to congratulate you on another day of living. Your very presence here, and the fact that you opened your eyes this morning, reveals the desire of your soul to grow. If you had no more lessons to learn here on earth, you would have no reason to repeat [...]
(In meditation this morning I saw a clear image of a Cinderella-like castle. I asked why I was seeing this image and heard the following …)You see castles in the skyYet know not why.They are there for the takingFor it is you who are makingThese images appearFrom far and near [...]
Criticism ... a deeper, more harmful form of judgment. When you judge, you are, in effect, looking at another and saying, “You and I are separate.” When you judge, you see the differences instead of that which binds you—the Spirit, which is pure love at its essence.Criticism is far more [...]
Your loved ones watch over you. This, many of you suspect, but you look for proof. “How can you prove that which you cannot touch?” This, the skeptics among you ask. But those of you more prone to sensing, those of you who understand the meaning of faith and the [...]
Perfection is not so easily attained, yet you strive for this. The goal is not a bad one, but the trouble comes when you fail to achieve this ever-elusive state and feel somehow less than you are. At your essence, you are perfect already. You are perfect Love, for your [...]

Forgiveness—a topic which arises quite often in our lessons, for yes, it is one of the lessons so many of you struggle with the most. Forgiveness is a gift. It is a form of surrender, but not a form of weakness. When you can sit back and release all blame, [...]
Growing old is never easy, as you watch your loved ones depart from this world … as you watch the changes in your body and theirs … but is not all of life about change? You have seen the changes in the seasons your whole life. All of life expresses [...]
There are those who are always waiting … waiting for something better to come along … never satisfied with their current circumstances. Can you not see from your vantage point that they will never be satisfied, for to them satisfaction lies in something that has not yet happened. Are you [...]
Further effort is not always necessary when you begin to achieve success on a project. Know that evidence of success is a sign that you are in the flow. That is to say, that your mind and thoughts are working in harmony with the higher good and that all is [...]
Competition and cooperation—two words which begin with similar letters, but on a spectrum are as far apart as they can be. What is competition, but the purest evidence that there exists a sense of separation. And why do two people compete? For the ego’s need to prove just how separate [...]
Blockages. We speak of them often. And so we ask you, “Blockages of what?” Of the Life Force. Blockages of that which animates you … gives you life. This Life Force flows through you at all times, for if not, you would not survive in this world. You would pass [...]
Note from Suzanne: A poem! Last night I was discussing with friends that we love Sanaya’s words, but we miss the poetry. This morning Sanaya gave us a gift. When I felt the rhythm of the words and heard the rhyme my heart soared. The phrases came as fast as [...]
Cherish the moments you spend by yourself. So often you try to fill the time with noise—the television or music play in the background as if to blot out the silence. Of what are you afraid? Of hearing your own thoughts? Of getting to know yourself? What is so bad [...]

What does it matter who or what you are? Are titles and labels so important? Look at those who cease to work and suffer great depression at the perceived loss of their identity. This is ignorance—ignorance of your greatest Truth.You need no labels or titles to be the most powerful [...]
Ask and you shall receive. This is the way your world works. “But I have asked quite often and see no results,” you say. Let us explain. First, please understand that you must pay attention to how you ask. Be most deliberate in your wording. Quite often you will receive [...]
