You, by the self to which you and others give a name, can do nothing. You are not a stand-alone being like a cut-out doll. You are part of a flow of Intelligence so vast that the human mind cannot grasp this immensity. In the body, which is part of [...]

You allow yourself to become distracted quite easily. What you see with your eyes is like candy to a baby. You reach for this and that when what you truly seek is beyond all reach, yet as close as your breath. Close your eyes every so often, why don’t you? [...]

A crutch is something you lean on when you are feeling weak. You want to choose a crutch of the highest strength and quality. You use it with the goal of seeking independence so that the crutch is not necessary forever. Higher beings are not crutches. Yes, you may lean [...]

When you have been wearing a necklace that weighs heavily around the neck, you become accustomed to the weight. Only when you take it off do you realize how cumbersome it had become. The same is true even with a pair of light spectacles. Remove them and feel the lightness. [...]

Why do you read these messages at all? Do you realize it is for more than the words? There is an energy that uplifts, that unifies, that helps you find your way Home. What? You did not realize you had wandered off a bit? Of course, you did. That is [...]

They are doing the best they can, those others you may find yourself judging. Can you put yourself in their shoes? Some people cannot, you know. They have not had enough lifetimes to fully understand the human condition. If you can empathize greatly with others, understanding the lack of control [...]

You do not have to go it alone. If only you would remember this. In human goings-on you often feel like the Lone Ranger, bearing your burdens without help. Know that you are both human and spirit and that you have a team of unseen helpers. Call on them and [...]

You imagine two worlds: the physical and the non-physical. You call one “the spirit world.” Do you not realize that you, too, are in the spirit world? Your language limits and distorts your perception of reality. In actuality, you are not “in” the spirit world at all. You are Spirit [...]

When one shares a tale of another’s actions and their opinion of such with you, does it automatically become your own opinion? This is a common way of building separation. Do remember that all stories must go through the filter of the one telling it. Have you not experienced how [...]

When trouble brews, it is because things have become a bit stirred up. Even in the midst of chaos, there is a calm center. Picture your cyclones. No matter how spun up things are, there is always a calm center. Find it through the breath. With intention, find the calm [...]

You have a project to complete. You have ideas of how to proceed, and yet, it is not flowing. Get up from your chair. Do not struggle. If it is not flowing, it is not yet ready to take wings. You are being inspired from a level beyond the project. [...]

The start of a new cycle. Perhaps there is excitement. Perhaps there is trepidation. Perhaps there is a bit of both. Every moment is a new cycle, dear one. Some cycles are more momentous than others. Beginnings and endings are simply markers … waypoints within the endless flow flow flow [...]

This is a state of Awareness, this experience you are having as you read these words. And it is Awareness itself having the experience. A dream is a state of Awareness, and it is Awareness in which the dream arises. That cat is a state of awareness. And it is [...]

Why do children love to blow bubbles? There is something wondrous and magical in not knowing how many will arise from a simple exhale and how big or how small. Do you not know now that you are the exhalation of Spirit? You are the outbreath of a Source that [...]

So many distractions. Look about you. What catches your attention? You may call this a snag. If your attention is always being drawn hither and yon, perhaps if you agree to allow higher beings to snag you with some object in a way that it stands out, they will be [...]

Breaking the mold. This is a necessary step if you wish to grow and step into new territory. Perhaps there is nothing wrong with the old mold. It has served you well, but perhaps it has also outgrown its service. Could there be a new way of doing things? Might [...]

Do you not at times feel overwhelmed? So much to do. So many people asking things of you. So much to think about. Do you know you can take a break anytime you feel this way? “But I don’t have time!” you say, and we are not speaking of running [...]

Put the brakes on. Is that not what you do when you become aware that there is danger or an obstacle in your path? At the first inkling that you are going down the wrong path in a conversation or with a project, won’t you do the same? How many [...]

There is nothing new under the spiritual sun, simply new and creative ways of helping you to understand who you all are. For thousands of years humans have been trying to figure it all out. Many have. Many more are coming to know the Truths that simply were not acceptable [...]

You look very closely in a mirror with magnification, and you are stunned. Perhaps you are even repelled. “Is this how others see me?” you wonder. And we at the higher levels smile. We see you magnified many times more than any mirror. In fact, we see right through you. [...]

You are bustling about now, those of you who celebrate the Christmas holiday. Did you buy enough gifts to make others happy? You are filled with the anticipation of the joy those others will feel when they open their gifts. And yes, there are chores related to the coming holiday [...]

Why are you so enamored with waterfalls? The power is palpable. There is freedom of flow. Negative ions are released just as they are at the seashore. The roar invigorates you. What is not to love? This is how I feel about you, you know. What is not to love? [...]

So, you do remember you are the Light. And each time you do so, more and more of this One True Light flows through you. And does it not feel oh so good to shine? And then what happens? A bit of the baser human reactions arises. You slip up [...]

Butterflies fly in a circle around you, thus getting your attention. Or they land on your hand and stay there for a while. These are sacred visits from birds, insects, animals interacting with you as messengers from those no longer in a body. How can you trust that these are, [...]

The pages of your calendar are peeling off. Each day that passes you are that much closer to the end of another year. “How time flies!” you exclaim, and you can see it in how thin is the calendar and how bare the trees. Does this give you a sense [...]

What is a riff? A short piece of music that you play over and over and recognize. Also, a few notes strung together in a clever way that allows you to improvise. What if you were to take an idea and riff with spirit? What would you come up with? [...]

Fresh vs. stale—two very good words to compare. Stale has the meaning of stagnant, not moving. This can well apply to the body, but also to the thoughts. You shy away from stale food, do you not? Then you would be well advised to shy away from stale thoughts as [...]

When is a twitch more than just a spasm? When is a butterfly more than just an insect? When the heart gives you that moment of awareness, “There is a message here.” Listen to the heart, dear one, not the head. The head will try to tell you, “Oh, that [...]

Do not be afraid to change direction mid-stream. Every moment is a new beginning. Every step presents you with a choice: continue as you have been going or turn to a new horizon. To do so unassisted would be quite frightening but hear us well: you are surrounded by helpers. [...]
