Death

Do not give so much credence to conspiracies.  Do you know what they are?  Collective fear.  Entire mythologies have been created around such collected thoughts to the point where these take on a power of their own.  Humans love a good story.  There is nothing that makes for better drama [...]

Anticipation.  You know the feeling ... you are on the cusp of opening a present with a gift inside, an email with a message, or an envelope with a check ... you do not know what will be inside.  It is a delicious feeling if you know the contents are [...]

So, someone does not “like” you.  That is their choice, and it may not have anything at all to do with you.  Or it may have everything to do with you, if, in feeling upset in any way by their thoughts, you are able to up-level your own thoughts.  Can [...]

You cannot control others.  Trying to do so brings frustration and resentment.  Can you allow yourself, instead, to be controlled from within ... from the heart?  Do not close yourself off to others or to Spirit by denying what is happening around you.  Accept and change course as guided.  Life [...]

Set a place at the table for those who’ve passed. ... A most wonderful way to make the memories last.Know that to do so is not just folly. ‘Tis not wishful thinking or meant to cause melancholy. The truth is that they live on still. So you set a place at your table untilYou [...]

You only think there are two worlds. You speak of walking in two worlds at once.  How can this be?  There is One Mind thinking up endless worlds, projecting them into awareness and playing, experimenting, expanding.  Bang!  A new world!  A new world orders itself around the thoughts that engendered [...]

Distractions abound.  Things are constantly arising that pull you in this direction and that.  And that is the challenge.  The external world with all of its bright lights and distractions can keep you mesmerized.  You must be strong enough to overcome the magnetic attraction ... to break the bonds and [...]

Safety.  This is what you crave.  “But I have a roof over my head.”  Yes, but what about inside?  You know you cannot protect yourself from death.  You have seen how it comes, and in the human distortions of death, thinking that it means the end of you, you create [...]

The world has not gone crazy.  Many people are simply out of alignment with the world.  Look around you.  What do you see, literally, with your eyes in this moment?  Where do your eyes fall?  Are you attracted to the beauty of nature or to the faults you perceive to [...]

Remain on task.  And what is that, you ask?  To be an emissary, an ambassador.  What is this role?  One who carries a great message and represents another place or state.  Your true Home, your true nature, your “country of origin” is not this earthly realm. You are all beings of [...]

Waves break upon the shore.  One after another they come, and you sit, mesmerized by the sound, the feel, and the sight.  Why the attraction?  It speaks to the soul.  It says, “This is life!  This is you:  arising from one body of stillness to express yourself, then settling back [...]

Life is not something you “get through.”  Do you have a tendency, when given a task, to focus on the end goal, perhaps to rush through the steps to get to the end without as much attention given to the means?  Perhaps you are doing that with this life you [...]

When you pick up a remote control and change the channel, you trust that this will happen.  You instantly see the results on the screen before you.  In the case of connecting across the veil, it is also done wirelessly.  The remote control is your attention.  Where attention goes, consciousness [...]

The lessons are ongoing.  Never stop learning.  Never stop growing.  Lessons need not be painful, but at times life does get bumpy.  How else do you appreciate the smooth roads?  What goes up does come down.  It is an ongoing cycle.  When you can accept the bumps along with the [...]

How often do you follow the nudges from within?  Learning to trust and act is part of the process.  How many times do you regret not listening?  Do you see how failure leads to change?  Failure to listen, trust, and act leads you to get to know what these subtle [...]

Yes, we teach in analogies.  The teaching you love the most is that which assures you that those who have passed are as close as your breath.  This is Truth.  This, however, is the icing and the cake.  What is more fundamental, the meat and potatoes, is the reason why [...]

So you have practiced a certain process for years.  So you have baked a cake the same way forever.  Is that a reason to do it the same way now?  Do you realize you came here to create, to evolve, to flow?  Where is the flow when you do it [...]

When parties of different cultures, different worldviews, differences of opinions can sit at the same table and give thanks, then you will know a joy that passes your current understanding.  Then you will have discovered what truly matters.  You all know each other at a soul level.  Can you go [...]

Holidays with missing friends.  You are supposed to give thanks.  You are surrounded by others who are celebrating, yet there feels as if there is a hole in your heart.  You are so very used to the physical presence of loved ones who have passed that their absence leaves an [...]

“Dead and gone.” Such finality there is in these words. This is why death brings such shock. One moment one you love is there and in just an instant they have passed. At this point you begin telling yourself you will never see them again, and that is when [...]
