Look not always toward the future, nor focus on the past. You live only in the present moment. This is all you have. You cause yourself needless worry wondering what will happen days and weeks from now. Realize that you are the creator of now. As a creator, each now that builds upon the other is yours. How do you choose to live in this moment?
When you choose to recognize your true power as a focus of Consciousness and begin to express your true nature as a loving spirit-being, then you begin to experience the perfection of life. As you see your dreams fall into place, then you can relax. With the realization that all is in perfect order always, you know that future now-moments will flow perfectly, without needless worry. You will see the past as now-moments when you were not in the flow. Rather than looking on those moments with regret, see them with loving gratitude for the lessons that they were.
Step into the flow now and create each now-moment with joy and peace—your true birthrights.
"Life is full of tests. They are not multiple choice. There is only one answer: Love." Suzanne Giesemann
Who is Sanaya? Suzanne Giesemann answers:
Who is Sanaya? Suzanne Giesemann answers: "Sanaya (pronounced "sah-NIGH-ah") has told us that she is a collective consciousness of minds with both a feminine and masculine energy. This energy comes from a higher dimension than our own. When I bring through Sanaya's words, I am "tapping in" to Higher Consciousness. I am allowing that Consciousness to express itself through my body: through my brain, through my vocal cords, my arms, my hands, and also through my pen. Sanaya would not need a name, except for our human need to put labels on things and place our experiences into well-defined boxes. Sanaya takes us outside the box into a dimension where we come face to face with our higher selves. To hear the words of Sanaya as they come through ... to sit in the presence of that energy ... is a palpable experience of higher vibration ... of love. To read Sanaya's words can have the same result when you tune in to that finer energy as you read."

The Spectrum of Reality
What is reality? Do you think you have the answer? To you, what is real is that which you perceive. Do your dreams not feel real to you whilst you are dreaming? In that moment, that is your reality. Your dreams elicit emotions just as those in what you call “real life.” Hear us now: the waking state is but one level on a very wide spectrum of reality. By broadening your beliefs, you are able to experience more of this spectrum.
Your loved ones who have passed continue to experience reality. Their reality is as real to them as your waking state and your dreams are to you. You cannot perceive their reality whilst in the waking state, just as you cannot perceive an x-ray or a micro-wave. This inability to perceive does not mean these other realities do not exist.
There will come a time when you do perceive realities beyond your present one … be it through meditation, a trance state, or the transition you call death. Fear none of these. They merely represent your continued growth and travel along the great spectrum of Life.

The Power of Belief
Belief makes all things possible. When you were a child and you lost a tooth, were not fairies real? When you no longer needed fairies or a white bearded man to bring you gifts, you moved on to believing in other things. What do you believe in now? Do you believe in the innate goodness of mankind, or do you believe mankind is doomed to fail? Your beliefs create reality. Pay attention to what you tell yourself, for these very thoughts shape your world and shape your very body.
When you truly believe you can do something, that is when you do it. If you cannot do it, dig beneath the surface and look for the word “cannot.” Experiment with your God-given power of creation. Play with “can” and “cannot.” Once you realize the power you have to create and the power you have to limit your own creation, then you will begin to move mountains.

Loving Intelligence
There is a connection between every living thing. You do not need a heartbeat to feel it. Simply look at the beauty of nature—the intricate design of tiny plants, the marvelous physiology of the animal kingdom, the perfection of the human body … Imagine the brilliance of the Mind that designed all of this. Now ask yourself—could the same Mind that designed a rose, and a lily, and a shimmering lake, and a beautiful baby not be the essence of love, itself?
All that is arises from a field of pure potential. Before anything arises, there is nothing but Loving Intelligence. You are a part of that Loving Intelligence. You have sprung from that Source with that intelligent mind and that loving essence as your inheritance. Use these attributes to appreciate the other offspring of the Source that surround you. Touch a flower today and give thanks. Touch a face today and give thanks. Touch someone’s soul today and give thanks that you are sharing in this great thing you call Life.

Never Alone
Never fear that you’re alone.
It matters not how far from home.
Whether you’re around or distant
Of this point we are insistent—
You’re always linked within the mind.
Here the connection you will find.
You only THINK you need the touch,
But this truly matters not so much.
Close your eyes and picture clearly
Those you hold forever dearly.
Can you not create anew
The feelings that they bring to you?
This is the power of the soul
To take two halves and make a whole.
For in the end are ne’er apart
Who once were joined within the heart.
So when you find your steps are weary
And perhaps you’re feeling slightly teary
Go within and seek relief
All it takes is your belief.
Conjure up an image true
And in your mind will come to you
The vision of the one you miss…
Imagine that you send a kiss.
If this you do, then don’t you see
That it’s your thoughts that set you free.
For in an instant you create
The love inside for which you wait.

On "Allowing"
Note from Suzanne: This morning I posed a question to Sanaya from a friend: “How should we allow what is, without at the same time becoming passive in our lives to events?”
You must first recognize that the act of allowing does not mean that you condone all that you observe. It is the same as the act of forgiveness. It both cases, you need neither condone nor agree. By allowing, you are saying, “I see that this reality is unfolding in this way. This is but another expression of Consciousness.”
Mankind is gifted with free will to express Consciousness. Oft times, this expression results in that which is less than the qualities of goodness and light. All is part of the play of Life. By observing darkness, you can better appreciate the light. You, through your choice, can choose to take action or to remain passive, but by allowing Life to play out, you align yourself more closely with the Observer.
Realize that when more than one follow their individual paths of creation, often these paths will conflict. Allow the other paths to twist and turn as they will. You have the choice whether or not to take on a cause—to get involved in paths outside of your own. Always, when you make such a choice, it should be from the heart, with the intention of furthering love.
To allow does not mean that you must always sit back and take no action. It simply means that you recognize that all is simply the play of Life will all of its dualities. To which end of the spectrum will you lean? Toward the dark or the light? When you do not resist, but allow, you are free to choose.

Never Apart
It is in doing nothing
That you accomplish the most,
And not from the achievements
Of which you do boast.
It’s the act of non-doing
That makes activity cease,
And there—in not trying
Do your thoughts you release.
When the mind wants to wander
It’s then you stand still.
You can quiet it not
With the force of your will.
Focus then on the breath—
On the in and out flow…
A movement quite natural,
With no need to blow.
Simply watch as the air
Like the life force does move.
This quite simple action
Your calm does improve.
It is there in the silence—
The gap between breathing
That you find all your thoughts
And your tension are leaving.
For it’s when all the thoughts
That do run through your mind
You do finally quiet
That your soul you can find.
Pause each day and do try
Just a while to time spend
And you’ll find all your problems
Will begin then to mend.
For deep in the soul
Where pure love does reside
Is the Source of Creation—
Right there, deep inside.
When this place you do visit
Then you know in your heart
That you and the Creator
Are never apart.
That you accomplish the most,
And not from the achievements
Of which you do boast.

And there—in not trying
Do your thoughts you release.

Like the Master
Jesus is the one so many of you worship—and for good reason. He is one who walked upon your earth, cloaked in human vestments, yet one who understood the truth—that man is God with a body. “I and the Father are one,” said the Nazarene. But did he not also say, “These things I do and far greater can you do”? This wise master walked among you to teach the greatest lessons of your life, and still he walks among you.
Use this great master as your model. Can you think of one better? If you were to love all of mankind as you love God, with your heart and soul, judging no one, treating all with equal kindness and compassion, would you then not be as the Father?
Be careful of the metaphors which make the Father into a human image in your mind. Maintain, instead, the quiet knowingness that this loving, ever-present, ever-caring, father-like Force flows within your every cell—aware of you, giving you life. But this Force has no arms, no legs, no eyes, nor ears. For this you are here. Go forth as did Jesus—walking, talking, seeing the world through the eyes of a human, but knowing with no question that you walk as the Father and for the Father, and as such, you cannot fall.

Be the Spark
Repetition is a necessary element of learning. Do not your beliefs become cemented in the subconscious mind through repeated exposure? For many years you have told yourself the same falsehoods—that you are a separate individual with no connection to those around you. And so it is that we now repeat to you repeatedly the truths of the spirit.
You are nothing but energy—a vibrating wave of consciousness. If you could see this energy, you would not need the repetitious message. You would realize immediately how very intertwined is your energy with all others. It is impossible to separate that which you call “you” from “them.” What you do and think affects all others. Your thoughts, beliefs, and subsequent actions become part of the Whole.
You complain about the state of the world. You think you cannot make a difference. Hear us as we repeat and repeat this truth: All is One. There is only one Mind and you are a focus of that one Divine Consciousness. To raise the vibration of the whole, begin with yourself. You can and do make a difference. The light of one firefly triggers those around it until the night is bright with light. Shine as brightly as you can at all times and be the spark that ignites those around you.
Note from Suzanne: after receiving this message, I did a search for "firefly behavior." I was not aware if "the light of one firefly triggers those around it." Sanaya knows what she's talking about! The female firefly flashes first, triggering the male(s) to respond. She then chooses the mate with the best flashing pattern! Pretty cool message!

The Flow of Money
Money flows as does your breath—ever in and out. When you hold your breath, soon you gasp and need to take in more. When you hold onto your money, afraid to spend it, you are expressing fear. Money is energy, as is all else in your world. Allow it to flow in and out of your life freely—without constriction—and you will never be without.
Abundance is the natural state of life. There is enough of all that you need. It is only your false beliefs which you have accepted as truths concerning the availability of money which cause fear to arise. Release the fear and see the money flowing in and out freely. Spend it with happiness, knowing that all you need is always provided, and so it shall be. Examine your thoughts and fears. At the same time, bring to the surface the truths you have learned about spirit and energy, and about your ability to create your desires with your thoughts.
You are an expression of the Creator. If you wish to have abundance, banish all thought of lack and create the positive flow of abundance. What you see around you is what you have created with your thoughts. Create anew in every moment. You are far richer than you ever imagined.
Note from Suzanne: I find it quite interesting to compare today's message with yesterday's poem. Both are about money, but with different ways of looking at it. I see this as showing us that money is not a bad thing -- it is simply energy--and evidence of what we can create as co-creators. However, as yesterday's poem says, we should never lose sight of what is really important and who we really are.

There, Just Waiting
Two cars, a house, and a cat—
Can you imagine a life like that?
It seems to be the American dream
But are those inside as content as they seem?
Be wary of placing great value on things.
Know, instead, that which happiness brings.
It’s the spirit inside that is with you right now—
Waiting to make a grand entrance with a theatrical bow.
“It is I who your attention does seek.
Here all along, if you only would peek.
I require no money, no lavish attention.
Just your desire to know me, may it be your intention.”
Knowing this you can find what you seek in your heart—
That feeling that money will never impart.
It’s the secret of life, yet just waiting for all.
The gifts of the spirit await those who do call.
Set aside all your treasures and then you will see
That even with nothing, quite rich can you be.
For love is the thing that lies at your core.
It is there awaiting, when you knock at its door.

Order Amidst Chaos
Watch the weather patterns. See how they change and how unpredictable they are when you look any farther forward than a few days of your time. Yet, in the unpredictability, do you not also see predictable patterns? Your weather repeats itself in predictable cycles … reliable patterns which allow you to plan and give you a bit of a sense of security. You are frightened by howling winds, black skies, and raging waters, but are these not always followed by a gentle calm and the emergence of the sun?
All of Life exhibits order such as you see in your weather. All of Life is a series of predictable cycles. Could this be an accident? Of course not. There is a Divine Intelligence bringing order to all Life. You are part of that Intelligence.
When your life seems chaotic and out of control … when storms rage inside you … know that amidst the chaos there is order. Were this not so, all would disintegrate completely. When darkness befalls you, know that it and you are an integral part of Life and that the sun will truly rise again.

Eternal Patience
You say that patience is a virtue. Why is this? Because those who are inpatient do not truly understand the truths of the spirit. Impatience is an attribute of your world only—for only in your world do you experience time and the false illusion that there is not enough time. In our world, time is of no consequence. If you could step outside the bonds of the body and see the perfection—how each piece of the puzzle fits with precision into the next—you would have no need for this word “patience.” You would know that all is in perfect order, and that what you need is coming to you perfectly.
When you find yourself acting impatiently, be grateful for this recognition. It is a reminder that you have forgotten who you are—an eternal spirit-being—and you have forgotten to trust. Remind yourself, “There is always enough time” (for time is an illusion, anyway), and surrender your angst. There, in the absence of rushing and demands which you have placed upon outcomes, you will find the doorway to peace … the doorway to your soul, which is infinite and infinitely patient with you.

The Ups and Downs of Life
Behold the ever-changing landscape of your life. What you first traversed as mountains, over time and distance flattened into smaller hills with fewer valleys. Soon, as you continue along your path, you will walk quietly through fields of fragrant flowers, traveling with ease. This is the path of life. Rarely is it easy going. Quite often you do stumble, but always do you pick yourself up and continue on. The bruises and the aches do fortify you, for you learn in this way just how strong you really are.
If your path were straight and easy going from the start, you would not grow nearly as strong nor able to recognize your growth as you have from the more challenging road you have chosen. While you may not enjoy your steps as you climb the mountains, rejoice when you reach the summit. Enjoy the glorious view, but while you are there, lean down and give your hand to another who is still climbing.
Do not fear that yet another valley lies ahead. There will always be peaks and valleys whilst you traverse this ever-changing landscape. This is the very nature of your journey. With this awareness, journey on and revel in the change, for what does it mean, but that you are alive!

Crying Out For Love
Babies cry when they need attention. Some things do not change as you grow older. Do you not cry out for attention, only not necessarily always with tears? So many acts which are contrary to your true nature as the expression of Spirit are merely cries for attention. Substitute the word “love” for “attention.” Is this not what all who act angrily and fearfully and rudely are crying out for?
If you at times are guilty of such transgressions, you need merely look inside and there you will find the source of all you are crying for. The fear, anger, and rudeness mask the love and constrict its flow. Remove these blockages, and you will find that you have no further need to cry. You are now free to dry the tears of others and free them of their constriction.
What goes around does truly come around again and again. Ensure that what goes around is love, and watch it come around to you.

When it Itches
What is an itch, but an irritation—a knocking at the door of your consciousness that something needs attention. “Scratch me,” it says. “Take care of me now.” It is a physical attention-grabber, but are you not given mental itches throughout your day?
Pay attention to the subtle itches in your mind. What are they saying to you? You will find these gentle nudges are reminders to express your loving nature. “Excuse me,” the itch will say. “but perhaps you could be a bit more understanding of that other’s circumstances …” And when you scratch this gentle itch, do you not see relief for both you and the other?
This inner itch is the voice of your soul, reminding you of what is truly important in life. In what you call the “real world,” you apply creams and ointments to squelch the itch—balms which only treat the effect and not the cause. In your spiritual awareness, remain ever vigilant for that inner itching and respond—not by covering up the itch—but by expressing the source of that itch, which is always love.

Beyond the Brain
Whether near or far, your loved ones are never any farther than your thoughts. Do you hear the chime of a bell when someone comes to your door? This is like unto what we experience when you think of us in our world of pure energy. You—as a spirit-being in your physical world—have the benefit of a spirit body and a physical body. Those who have crossed to our realm have only the spirit body, but less is far more in this case. Without the impediment of the dense vibrations of physical matter interfering with thought vibrations of the spirit-body, we are free to manifest our thoughts far faster.
If you can train the brain to be quiet now and then, you can access our world with the mind—keeping in mind that the brain and the mind are quite separate. It is in these moments when you step beyond the boundaries of the brain that you experience a bit of what awaits you. For now, rest assured that in the eternal minds of those you love who have made the transition, you remain ever on their mind. They are not near and not far, but wherever you are. Send them loving thoughts and you are speaking their language. Your loving words become an embrace. Your walk down Memory Lane in your mind is a tangible visit from our point of view. You cannot waste a thought, for it is there that your loved ones reside.
That which you call thinking,
Occurs without the brain.
When you die to your world,
Your mind it does remain.
Know this now,
And have no fear.
Those you thought were lost,
Are still quite near.

You cannot waste a thought, for it is there that your loved ones reside.
That which you call thinking,
Occurs without the brain.
When you die to your world,
Your mind it does remain.
Know this now,
And have no fear.
Those you thought were lost,
Are still quite near.

Arise From the Depths
You beat the chest and declare, “Am I not great? Do you see how special I am? Better than the others, and you had better recognize this!” From where does this need to feel special arise? From the illusion of separation. If you were to understand that all beings are expressions of the one Spirit—simply different facets of the same jewel—you would have no need to point out your beauty.
You had the experience of the reuniting of 33 men with their loved ones after a long period of separation. Their return was the result of the combined efforts of many—across borders, across nationalities … all facets of the jewel combining their gifts to help their fellow man. What does it matter from where came the help? Take away the flags. Take away the language barriers, and what are you left with? The raw material of love. Did you not see the common essence of all humanity in this episode?
Beat not the chest and say, “Look at me! I am special! Look at my country … it is the best!” The need to proclaim this arises from fear—fear that you will be perceived as less than you are and therefore will not be loved. Do you see the illusion? Arise from the depths of darkness as these 33 souls did do, and see the light. There is nothing but love, and that love does join you all.

Come Out of Your Shell
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 realize it. The physical body is your temporary home whilst enjoying this physical existence. Those who see it as the border of their existence often hide inside it as a turtle in a shell. They withdraw into the perceived safety of the body, averting the eyes, clamping shut the mouth, and thus closing the doors to the outside world.
The body is a communication tool. Could you but see that you as a spirit-being are not trapped at all, but are in fact constantly interacting with all that is, you would not be so quick to retreat inside. For your true Self is a loving being, as is that of every other soul on earth. When you use the physical body to separate yourself and close off the conscious interaction, you cheat yourself of the conscious experience of love. At a soul level, one soul greets another and says, “Hail, Brother! I love you. I will see you later, when this deluded being sheds its shell. Until then, be well.”
Allow your spirit to be free now. Do not make it wait to fully express its loving nature. Come out of your shell. Look another in the eye and say aloud, “Hello, my friend. I love you. Thank you for being in my life. How may I help you today?” Be not homebound, but set yourself free with love.

Food for the Soul
“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 consciousness. For most of your lives you have been feeding your subconscious with beliefs that did not bolster the soul, but the ego, instead. It is time now to feed the soul.
Nothing new here may be said, yet does the soul not hunger for these tidbits, doled out with love and just when you need them most? The words feed the hunger, for the soul knows exactly the nourishment it needs. Just as your body is made of proteins and fats, it needs more of the same to grow. And just as your soul is love and goodness at its essence, it grows through feeding it thoughts of goodness and love—by feeding it the very vibration of love which grows simply by reading these words.
It matters not if the words are new or if they have been heard a thousand times … the vibrations they set in motion in the soul are like chocolate to the taste buds. Feed well on these vibrations. No need for a diet here, beloved. Feast away on the love … the only ingredient of which the soul can never get or give enough.

Knowing Right From Wrong
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 will judge themselves when shown the full effect of their actions.
Much that you consider wrong is the result of ignorance—ignorance of the very nature of Life and of the Great Spirit. All of life is the expression of the God Force. Killing and mayhem are the willful uses of this force gone awry. Why is there such disharmony when these acts occur? For the soul knows wrong from right.
Those who do not see the difference while here in physical form will most certainly see it when they pass over and review their life. When understanding comes, so also comes the great urge to do better and to express in a far greater way the true Spirit. Souls may become temporarily lost, but all eventually find their way home. Meanwhile, maintain hope for mankind and be a model of loving kindness.

Rest and Worship
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 that power which created the world. It is a good thing to rest, and it is a good thing to worship, but do not fail to do these things every day of your life—not just when a day on a calendar reads “Sunday.”
Why is rest important? It helps you to stop and not always be doing. It is good to be a spirit-“be”ing and not always a human-“do”ing. And why is worship important? The Great Spirit does not need your adoration. The Great Spirit has no needs at all. But if in worshipping you stop and recognize the infinite power that brings order to chaos and brings love where there is fear, then worship is a worthy effort. Worship not that part of you that is divine, but recognize it and give thanks for the Self-recognition.
From Sunday to Sunday go forth with gratitude and be that loving power. Express your true nature … the only activity from which you need never take rest.

Under Pressure
Take a cap off a bottle and hear the hiss of escaping air. What causes this eruption, but a build-up of pressure under the lid. And do you not do the same thing? Do you not at times open your mouth and emit a loud hiss? The hiss at times comes out as venomous words aimed to strike at another. What is this outburst, but a release of pressure which has built up inside of you.
Do you not immediately feel remorse? This is because the hissing and striking out goes against your true nature as a loving expression of the Divine Mind … the God Force. The pressure is the build-up of thoughts which are also not in alignment with your true Self.
You can avoid the outbursts altogether by a constant monitoring of your inner state, which is always caused by your thoughts. Are you beginning to boil inside? Let off the steam through healthy outlets before you burst. Say your prayers. Go for a walk. Visualize a peaceful scene. Ask for help. All of these are ways to return to a state of peaceful equilibrium. Self-monitor the pressure and the outbursts will decrease until peace is your constant companion.

Welcome the Sunrise
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 yet another day.
Rejoice in the sunrise, for the light reveals all of the beauty which is there for you to appreciate. Do not waste a moment of this day. See and appreciate the beauty around you. Count your many blessings. Be a light unto others, and further your own growth by doing so. It is that simple.
What do we mean by growth? The constant raising of your consciousness, bringing it ever more in alignment with the Divine Mind—that pure, loving, creative Consciousness from which springs your soul. When in alignment, your life flows beautifully. May you welcome the sunrise each morning, then go forth and create the most beautiful expression possible of your Self.

Creating Castles
(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 sky
Yet know not why.
They are there for the taking
For it is you who are making
These images appear
From far and near …
You are the creator. Never underestimate your ability to create your dreams. So many sit back and wish for things they lack, thinking falsely that these things lie beyond their reach. Yet others seem to always be surrounded by success. Why is this, you ask? If you could examine the thoughts of the two—see into their minds—you would find two very different experiences.
What you feed your mind comes out as physical reality. Feed your mind thoughts of lack and worry, and lack and worry are what you experience. What is it you wish to experience? Wait for no other to bring it to you, for they cannot. You hold the recipe for what food goes into your mind. Your thoughts are the individual ingredients. The great meal upon which you feast is yours and only yours for the making.

On Criticism
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 insidious. In addition to maintaining the illusion of separation, criticism says, “My way is the only way, and I disallow your right to experience and act out Life in your way.” In this way, you cut off your very own flow of Love. You do no harm to the other, save from disallowing them the experience of your love. But trust us in this: every time you restrict your own flow, you fail to grow.
Do not miss an opportunity to be the Loving Presence that you are. Do not miss an opportunity to fulfill your presence in life, which is to BE that loving presence. Suspend judgment, eschew criticism, and simply allow all of Life to unfold.

Shifting Realities
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 joy that comes with trusting your inner guidance, do know the truth—that this is but one reality among many.
When you pass from this lifetime and leave the physical body behind, as some of your dear loved ones have done, you will experience another aspect of reality. You can touch this world now in your mind, for consciousness is the common link between all realities.
How can you prove a dream? You cannot. You can only say to others, “But it seemed so real!” This world seems so real to you now that there you place all faith and trust. Trust us in this: when you pass to the other side and enjoy a most loving reunion with those you so long to see again, then you will laugh and look back upon this life to which you gave so much importance and say, “But it seemed so real!”
It is real to you now, so live this life to its fullest, being the presence of love which you are in every moment. But know that your loved ones watch over you now and await the moment when reality shifts yet again.

Faith
The lesson for today is faith. There is a world of difference between your world and ours—between the physical world in which you now walk and our world or pure spirit. Your scientists may try as they may to prove the existence of a spirit world, but always they will meet with failure, for there exist no instruments in your world, nor yet the technology to measure our frequency.
There are many among you who communicate with our world quite regularly, yet your scientists scoff at this, for they cannot replicate repeatedly the results of these communications. For them, this is the only test of truth.
Your scientists may tell you that the universe was created without a God, and to this we say, ask yourself—who created you? Yes, your parents, through a biological act did create the body which you use to express your Self, but who created that Self? When did it begin and when will it end? We can give you all the answers your scientists deny … that “Who” is the You inside the body who knows the Truth.
Keep the faith.

Seekers
Fortune seekers … those who take great risks in hope of gaining great treasure. Always there is the excitement of anticipation that they will finally “hit it rich” and never again have to worry. But even for those who do find gold, although they may have much physical comfort and beautiful surroundings, does their worry ever cease?
Are you a seeker? If so, you already have an inkling, or perhaps even the certainty, that the Treasure lies within. So we ask you to ask yourself, do you still worry? If the answer is yes, then we ask you now to ask why you are still seeking.
Rather than always searching for more and more answers … rather than always seeking gold when Gold is what you are, be not the seeker, but be that which you seek. Be the Love you look for in others and you shall have it. Instead of always seeking, see now the Truth that has always been and will always be.

Lift-Off
Birds do fly and soar, enjoying what appears to be far greater freedom than you with the heavy physical body which keeps you so firmly rooted on the ground. But make no mistake—you can soar like a bird as well. To gain your wings and fly, first realize what you are—a spirit-being, a child of the Great Spirit, which has decided to walk as man or woman for a short while and experience legs and feet. Inside that man or woman lies a pulsing, vibrant spirit.
Can you not feel it? Can you not hear it whispering to you in those times when you pull your concentrated focus back from the body and all that the body senses? It is then you find your wings. It is then, in the realization that you are only temporarily using this body to experience an aspect of reality, that you experience lift-off.
Detach from your great attachment to all things physical and fly¸ my friends. Soar as the spirit-being you are, and find the freedom to be your true Self—an expression of Love … a spark of the Divine. Express that part of you which is divine … express your loving nature at all times, and see just how free you truly are.

No limits
Step outside yourself. This we have told you before. But what do we mean? You allow your body to define your boundaries. To so many, the world of awareness ends at the skin, but this is an illusion. The body is a vessel—true—but you exist far more around and beyond the body than within it. The body allows you to experience the physical world and to interact with this world, but do not allow the body—as so many do—to cut off your experience of your eternal existence as a spirit-being. You are that ethereal energy being now. Expand your consciousness and you expand your self-imposed limits.
Your consciousness … your mind … your spirit is pure energy, as you call it, and as such it has no boundaries. Visualize yourself without limits, and the spectrum of new experiences and knowledge to which you will be exposed will amaze you. “What was I waiting for? Why did I not do this and know this earlier?” you may find yourself asking when you discover that this part of yourself has been there all along. You were waiting for just the right moment, and the moment is now.
Welcome home.
