A New Site for Sanaya

Sanaya Says will no longer be posted here on Blogger, but on my website.  You can reach it two ways:  www.SanayaSays.com or www.SuzanneGiesemann.com/sanaya.  Those of you who receive Sanaya's daily messages by email should continue to receive the emails as usual. This change is thanks to the gift of an angel named Katie Benedetto, a brilliant website developer, who suggested that it would be better to integrate the daily posts from Sanaya into my website than to use the separate Blogger site I have been using .  Katie’s timing was divine, as I have been getting daily error messages and have sensed that the Blogger site was close to crashing.  Now all posts will be backed up regularly.  Please bear with us as we tweak the new page.  The archive system has a little bug, but all 1908 past posts are there.  (Can you believe it:  1908 posts … Thank you, Sanaya!)  We are working on the “category” function so that you will be able to find just the right subject at any time. In the meantime, the messages and the energy should remain consistent … it’s all about love.

Shifting Focus

Suicide … the taking of one’s earthly life by intention or will.  It does not cause the death of the soul, for that is eternal.  The life lessons must continue, for that is the nature of the soul … ever learning, ever expanding.  And now you learn a new term this week:  "egocide"—the death of the ego through willful intent.  This you must do over and over if you wish to place your focus on the soul, for ego is an integral part of the human.  Yes, the spiritual path is a journey from ego to soul, but not the complete obliteration of the ego.  Ego is necessary for certain human functions. This term, “egocide,” is quite useful, however, for bringing awareness that it is through your choices that you can move your focus from ego to spirit and thus advance your growth.

Egocide.  It is a willful act that says, “I choose to focus on unity and love through the willful suppression of the illusion of separation.  I value the ego for the lessons it brings.  I embrace its role, but for now, I choose love.”

Expecting

Expectations are often fulfilled.  This is why it is so very important to monitor your thoughts.  And then, when you have a thought in mind, follow it carefully from the conscious mind to the subconscious mind.  There you will find expectations born of a belief system which may be long outdated.  You are growing and changing.  The soul is pulling you onward, but deep inside you may have expectations based on past perceived failures or outdated perceptions of how life works.  Uproot and discard these.  Set new expectations based upon your current truth and expect the highest possible results.

Gifts

You take many things for granted … that the sun will always rise … that you will have a roof over your head.  We do not wish to frighten you—only to remind you that all things change but the one constant:  that you exist.  You, as Love, are here to be the expression of Love.  The more you do that—the more you identify with the side of you that is Love—the less you take things for granted.  You appreciate more the transitory nature of the temporal world and focus on what matters most.  Take things and beings for granted if you will, but may you be granted the grace of focusing on love until all that surrounds you is seen as the gift that it is.

No Doubt

Belief is paramount.  If you do not believe you can do a thing, then you are correct.  If you do not believe a thing is possible, and then you see it being demonstrated, then it becomes possible in your mind.  If you then believe it is possible for others, but not for you, then you have stepped back into limitation, which is of the ego.  The soul knows no limitation, for it knows not of fear and doubt.  Clear them out, and then ask to see another way of looking at whatever it is you wish to do or accomplish.  There is more than one way to go around an obstacle, but first you must learn that the obstacle begins in your mind.

Therefore

One of your respected philosophers stated, “I think, therefore I am.”  We would like to give you another twist on that phrase, one that will carry you much farther in your awakening and realization of why you are here.  Are you ready? 

“I AM, therefore I love.”

It can be no other way, for your Source—The Great I AM—is Love, and you are an aspect of That.  If you feel that you “are”—that you exist—but you do not love, then your focus remains tightly on the human aspects of you.  How to shift it to the soul, which is love?  Go to the heart.  Focus there and ask your version of God to show you what love is.  Ask with all sincerity to get to know true, divine love, and then relax.  You have taken the first step.

You are, therefore you love.  Now be that which you are … that which all men seek.  It is your birthright, and you are worthy.

Heads or Tails

There are two sides to every coin, just as there are two sides to you.  We are not speaking of the opposites such as good and bad, happy or sad.  Whilst in human form you have the aspect of you that is spirit and the side that is human.  Call them the soul and the ego, if you will.  The point of human existence is to master focusing on the soul, exhibiting the soul’s chief characteristic of love.  The challenge in this game of heads or tails is that the spirit side, which initially is prevalent when born, will become hidden to you as a child.  Then it becomes your task as you age to remember it … to identify with the soul aspects by choice. 

Ah, there’s the rub.  In this game of heads or tails, ego or spirit, which side is up is completely up to you.  Mastery of your emotions is one of the ways you learn to exhibit the soul side more often.  It is not a game of win or lose.  It is all about the soul’s growth, but most humans continue to identify with the human aspects, and so we will put it into human terms:  When one identifies more with the soul and Love is face up, then everybody wins. 

Do you see how it works?  You are still human.  The ego aspect of you is always there and is to be embraced if you are to experience wholeness, but choose to be “love side up”—beating the odds of chance in this game called “being human”—and see what happens.

Grateful

Gratitude.  Can you apply it to everything in your life … the so-called bad things as well as the clearly good?  All of life is about the experience and the learning that occurs from rolling about in those experiences, fully covering yourselves in the variety of them.  Can you be grateful for the challenge?  Not until you see and apply the lessons.  Are you feeling bitter about a past lesson?  Then you have not looked for the lesson or it has not yet revealed itself.  Perhaps the lesson in your challenge was not yours to learn, but someone else’s.  Souls do that, you know … volunteer to undergo a challenge so that others will benefit.  Humans are often not so generous, but souls understand the oneness.  Be grateful.  Gratitude opens the heart, and perhaps with the heart unleashed you will see the blessings that your life allows.

Unrehearsed

You can prepare your lines all you wish … rehearse your actions until you know every movement in every moment, and what will that gain you?  A false sense of security.  Why?  Because you never act alone.  Life is about the interaction of all the parts of the Whole, and all the other parts are not so well rehearsed.  They are each acting out their own parts, some with great unpredictability.  For some, this may bring fear, which is why they prepare so.  Control is an elusive thing, as is peace, until you realize that a Force far greater than you is pulling the strings.  Yes, you have a great say in all matters, for you have free will, but until you realize that you do not run the show, you will experience frustration at times and occasional disappointment.  That is natural for the human side of you.  What is natural for the spirit side is flow.  When you can flow with the dance of life instead of marching out in rigid, well-rehearsed steps, then you will find you can enjoy life with far more ease. 

Make the Call

Do not forget to speak to those who have passed.  Yes, we know that even here in human form you often forget to call those closest to you, so wrapped up in your own lives do you become.  What if you were to set aside a few moments for a mental phone call to heaven?  It would be quite well received.  Is this silliness?  Not at all.  Just as you often know who is on the telephone before you answer, your loved ones on the other side pick up on your thoughts. 

Sit with the intention of making this connection, and place your call.  That is all it takes.  It may feel one sided as you rattle on.  No matter.  Trust that you are heard.  Connect at the heart.  If you need a sign that you were heard, ask for one.  It may take a few days, but so grateful will be your loved ones that they will do their best to merge heaven and earth to acknowledge your efforts.  Make the call.  The love connection is one which never dies.

What Others Think

A silly picture or any number of things triggers embarrassment.  Embarrassment is of the ego.  The soul knows only love.  Of what are you worried?  What others will think.  Where did you learn to think like that?  In this question lie two keys to your discomfort.  In the first is the word “learn.”  Embarrassment is learned behavior.  Are indigenous peoples embarrassed by their naked skin?  Why are you?  This is learned behavior.  The second key lies in the word “think.”  Thinking is of the ego.  The soul, based in the heart, knows feeling, not thinking, but feelings of love.  Lesser feelings are born of thinking.  We believe you most likely get our drift by now.  You can drift between embarrassment and peace, between ego and soul, between shackles and freedom any time you would like in your world of time.  Isn’t it about time you put what others think aside and simply focus on what really matters?

A Change in View

Are you stuck and cannot see a way out of your predicament?  Rise above for the soul’s eye view.  When you are zoomed in on your issues alone, you often fail to see the other opportunities.  Who else is involved?  Who else can help you?  Are you indeed stuck, or are there other choices?  There always are, but they often involve change, something most humans shy away from.  If you are ill at ease and seek peace, then change is necessary.  If you are unhappy and seek peace, then change is the answer.  Is change so bad?  Often the fear of it is worse than the actuality.  Fear … your greatest obstacle to peace.  Rise above and study the choices.  Study them well until you are so familiar with them that change is a welcome next step.  Have no fear.  Peace lies just around the bend.

Letting Go

When you become impatient with another, this is an indication of expectations on your part.  You are expecting them to be as you are.  But why should they be?  To what end?  To please you?  To have your experiences?  Are you beginning to see how the human mind works?  Can you release expectations?  If so, what is the result for you?  Peace.

We understand why you might want others to have certain experiences.  Perhaps you do know best.  But perhaps the other has their own lessons to learn.  Can you be at peace with that?  All are here to learn lessons.  Help another stay out of harm’s way, by all means, but there comes a point when even that is not your role.  All are here to learn and grow, including you.  Release expectations about others whilst helping to the best of your ability and find peace.

Growing Up

Childhood issues can remain in the energy field well into adulthood.  Some humans take them to the grave and beyond, even to the point of bringing them back to battle with them for another lifetime.  Did you know that carrying them around is unnecessary?  Once a lesson is learned, it can be seen with gratitude and transmuted into higher vibrations.  There are those who were mistreated.  Others were abandoned.  We will not go into the myriad ways humans do a disservice to one another, but in carrying the vibration of victimhood forward, you are perpetuating the legacy and doing a disservice to the self and to the Self.

Are you aware of how you were mistreated and how that is affecting you now?  That is the first step.  Now are you willing to change?  To stop the abuse of yourself?  It only takes a moment of recognition of this, the greatest opportunity of your life … to change the pattern.  How do your childhood hurts show up in your life today?  It is time to leave the things and ways of your childhood behind and step into your true power.  One before you may have wielded anger or another such low vibration, but you now have the opportunity to wield the only power that transmutes all beneath it … Love.  Isn’t it time?

New Transcript and Recording

Note from Suzanne:  You can read and/or listen to the latest session with Sanaya held at the annual conference of the Academy for Spiritual and Consciousness Studies on June 11th.  Here's the link:  http://www.suzannegiesemann.com/sessions-with-sanaya-2/ 

Sticky or Smooth

Fly paper or Teflon?  Which do you resemble most when others accuse you of something or apply labels to you?  When lower vibrations which do not serve you enter into your energy field, do you allow them to stick or to roll off?  If they stick, how long until you discard them?  Do you realize the choice is completely up to you?  Nothing sticks to spirit, not even the good vibrations, for there is no good or bad, simply “being” … being love.  What a way to live … unaffected by vibrations around you.  Again it comes back to awareness of who you are.  You are temporarily in a human suit, which can be sticky or smooth.  You choose the suit you are wearing, but it is changeable.  Which one suits you better?

Are You There Yet?

As a child you rode in the back seat of the car and asked, “Are we there yet?”  And in focusing on the destination, you missed the scenery along the way.  Are you there yet?  Where are you trying to go?  What if your vehicle should stall here and now?  Could you be content, or is what lies ahead so appealing to you that you can focus on nothing else?

What if we were to tell you that life is all about the ride?  There is nowhere to go, simply one scene after another unfolding right before your eyes.  Are you missing them by continuously asking, “Are we there yet?”  Pull over at the rest stop if you’d like, for the journey is eternal.  Rest a while, and while you do, have a look around and see what you have been missing. 

The place you have been so anxious to arrive at has been in the seat with you all along.  That urge to go, go, go is actually an urge to be, be, be.  Be what?  Be awake.  To remember.  Remember what?  That love is all there is, and you are that.  To feel love, give love.  Aha.  The car has arrived.  Welcome Home.

Living a Double Life

There is more to your world than meets the eye.  The light that meets the eye is but one sliver of the light in existence.  How you limit yourselves when you think that if you cannot see it, that it does not exist.  Who is it that you are hearing as you read these words?  You cannot see us, yet we have given you far too many synchronicities, far too many direct answers to your questions in times of need to not trust that we are here.  Yet, can you see us?  Most cannot.

Trust the eyes as far as they can take you, and then go a step farther.  And then take another step.  In taking these steps you are entering a new world of possibilities that has been there all along.  “Hello,” you say, “Is there someone there?  Can you help me?”  And now you can begin to truly live in both worlds.

Living a double life is not all cloak and daggers like your spy movies.  It is an expanded way of learning, and growing, and getting to know yourself as both human and spirit, and most of all, as Love.

All for One

Do nothing at the expense of another.  This is quite challenging for the human being who is ruled by the ego.  The ego sees only separation.  He or she thinks of the self only and takes actions that are self-centered.  “Every man for himself” is the motto that points directly to ego.  There is little soul growth in such an attitude, for the spiritual path is all about the journey from ego to oneness.  Oneness sees all as part of a whole, made up of countless souls.  These souls are not separate, but comprised of the same indivisible Source-energy.  “Every man for himself” becomes “Every soul for the whole” and then taking an action that would cause harm, discomfort, or even inconvenience without agreement from another becomes unthinkable.

Rainy Days

You wish for every day to be sunny, but life is not like that.  Into each life some rain must fall.  Bring to mind that special scent just after the rain when all has been cleansed.  What you saw as a curse was actually a blessing, come to wash away impurities. 

What is it that needs to be cleansed in your emotions?  The Universe will conspire to show you.  Pain is a sign that there is something within you in need of cleansing.  Pain is your rain, come to show you the way to the sun.  You can put up an umbrella and cry, “But I do not want to get wet!  I enjoy being dry and comfortable just as I am!”  or you can stand in the downpour, face the pain, and be free.
