Why sit in the silence? To remember the experience of simply “being” without a story. And why would you want to do that? To realize how caught up you may have become in the drama of being human. Why sit in the silence? To connect with the part of [...]

Out beyond ideas and language and actions that differ, there is a field. I will meet you there. We have been trying to steer you there, to invite you there, to gift you the opportunity to lie down in that field, beautiful soul. In that field, there are no [...]

Have you ever worn a pair of glasses with yellow lenses? Did you see how all that you saw was now tinted yellow? And is it not possible that if you wore those lenses day and night, you might come to believe that all the world is tinted yellow? [...]

A group faces a painting, beholding the many colors. One group says, “Oh, look at the bright colors, how they sparkle! This is a wonderful painting.” The other group says, “Oh, look at these dark colors! This is a terrible, dismal work.”  And what is the difference? Where and [...]

Unless you have all sides of a story, you are bound to suffer. Do you realize that your life in human form is a story? Yes, it is quite a bit like improvisation on a stage, where there is a known plot, but the actors, through their choices, keep the plot [...]

Humans love control, yet they have very little of it. Do you see the paradox? You watch a storm create havoc and realize you cannot control the weather. You watch your headlines and realize you cannot control others’ choices. Is there anything you can control? The body will react automatically [...]

You purge the stomach of its contents in a most violent way at times, and you do not see this for the divine gift that it is. The body knows when it needs to rid itself of something harmful. Yes, the process is unpleasant, but it helps to restore balance [...]

On this day in certain parts of your world you play God. You move your clocks backward, erasing an hour of time. You cannot actually manipulate the amount of sunshine you have in a day, but you can make a far easier choice. Play God, why don’t you, and [...]

You can feel it in the air … the collective anxiety. Is it yours, this anxiety? You need not take it in and take ownership of it. Yes, you are part of a group field that is quite tumultuous at this time, no matter where you find yourself upon this [...]

Go there in your dreams: that place where magic happens, where anything is possible. Go there in your daydreams … that state where ideas spring up and dance with each other without dismissing them as folly. Go there in your waking consciousness … that childlike state of imagination, play, and [...]

You work so hard at getting to know your higher self. This is good for you. It will help you see past the drama and find the peace and love within that are your birthright. And what about that one you are with … any of those apparent others [...]

It is never too late to make amends. Not now or when in the ever after, for all there is is Now. To call the state in which one finds oneself “the afterlife” is merely a nod to the fact that it comes after this particular experience in a body. [...]

What is the most endearing gesture you can gift to yourself? What truly gets the feelings of love flowing? For some it will be two hands across the heart. For others, it will be one hand placed gently atop the other. Perhaps a hand to the cheek or the shoulder. [...]

All that exists, at the most fundamental level is energy that flows in patterns which create experiences in Awareness, your True Nature. The body and all that appears to be physical are like a head of flowing hair. At times the strands get tiny knots in them. If left unattended, [...]

Are you frustrated by others’ choices and beliefs? Shift your center. What does this mean? You can be self-centered, and oh, you know what that is like in yourself and others. You can be group-centered, which is what is causing so much angst in your world at this time. You [...]

There are times when life does not go as you want it to. How much control do you actually have? When you watch a favorite drama on your television, can you control the next lines from your favorite characters’ mouths? You cannot, and so you face multiple choices about how [...]

When overwhelm threatens, pause. Why are you like a boiling pot? There are energies within that are trying to be expressed and cleared. In order to not boil over, turn down the heat and do stir the pot. Perhaps you were told not to, but how will you get at [...]

Like the lens of a camera, yours is an ever-changing focus. At times you take in as much as you can comprehend. At other times, you focus quite narrowly on one issue or another. Ah, there’s the rub. The more narrow the focus, the more one can obsess. Widen the [...]

When you trust the process, you may surprise yourself. “I can’t do that!” you say about something you haven’t done in the past. The present is different from the past. The past drags memories and thoughts of failure with you like a ball and chain. The future is a blank [...]

Music goes up and down, does it not? And in the changes between the notes, you find pleasure and at times pain when two notes do not sit well together. Life is music … notes playing now and now and now for the full experience of harmony and disharmony. There [...]

What if you couldn’t think? What if you could only observe? The ego bristles in fear at the thought of no thinking! Thinking is the only way ego exists! Without ego, there is simply Awareness and the limitless flow of experience where everything is allowed. Nothing is rejected. And when [...]

Have you not heard the phrase, “With joy in your heart”? And what if you capitalize Joy and think of this not as a word or an emotion, but the Source of all connections? Where there are only connections, you know oneness … Love. The heart is the focal point [...]

Do not rush things. Life has a pace. When you are in resonance with this tempo, life flows. When you rush, you drop things, stumble, and bumble. The heart innately settles into the best rhythm for health. The breath does the same. Can you? Slow down a bit when you [...]

There will always be more, you are part of a process, not a finite thing. You are being itself. Yes, LIFE expresses itself through beings, but everything that exists is a pleasure in progress. If you wish to say, instead, a work in progress, then may you think of an [...]

Precarious. The word means that something is seeking balance but could tip out of alignment quite easily. This is the nature of life in your present human form, and you know it. Do not fear. There is a natural impulse that keeps you walking on the balance beam. Watch a [...]

When you hear one who is speaking with great passion, do you not say, “They are on fire!” And why do you use this term? For there is an awareness that one’s energy can be like fire and light, radiating outward spreading heat … warmth. Did you know there is [...]

Imagine you are going to create a garden. Will you plant flowers or vegetables? What kind of soil will you use? How will you keep it healthy? So many choices! And so it was when you in your primordial state as the Source of all that is decided to create [...]

Things left unsaid can fester. Do you not clean debris from a wound to allow it to heal? It will help you if you do the same with words and emotions you are holding under a lid out of fear of repercussions. Share what you will from the heart, holding [...]

You can always do better. This is not said to put undue pressure on you, but to encourage you. You and all of life are a work in process. You are part of an evolutionary flow of being and becoming. There is no end or limit to the growth and [...]
