This Living Metaphor

Glorious weather brings a smile to your lips. You raise your eyes to the sky and bask in the warm sunshine. Why this upliftment? Why do you not feel the same when the sky is gray and cloudy? All of life is a metaphor. All is simply a different way of expressing the same thing: God.

God is light, and warmth, and goodness. How do you define these? You use words and images to describe the indescribable. God is a feeling. That God exists at all is a knowingness within the heart. Even this heart is a metaphor, is it not? Clouds obscure the light. These clouds are like your thoughts, which obscure the Light within your heart. Is it any wonder you long for the sun to come out and warm you with its rays?

Raise your face to the sky and give thanks, not only for the sun, but for the clouds as well. All you see and all you experience is evidence of God. The clouds exist to bring you closer to the light, for how would you recognize the light if you did not know darkness? Rejoice in every moment of this living metaphor you call Life.

Perception is Reality

Fireworks light up your sky.

You shout and clap in delight.

Such a pleasure you cannot deny,

Yet to some it does bring fright.

 

They clap their hands upon their ears.

They balk at all the noise.

To some it's joy, to others fear,

And total lack of poise.

 

Why this difference in how to see,

When both see the self-same thing?

For in your choices all are free.

A fresh interpretation can you bring.

 

Perception is reality.

This you have been told.

So how will you choose to see your world?

As worthless, or lined with gold?

 

It matters not what others think,

But how you would perceive.

The choice is always up to you,

In what you do believe.

The Gift of Discernment

Do you remember as a child the excitement you did feel at the thought of a special holiday?  If you did believe in Santa Claus, did this thought not make your very limbs tingle?  This was a physical phenomenon brought about by the higher vibrations of joy.  Do you realize that you can experience these same higher vibrations in the body through the act of reading spiritual literature?  Words are imbued with the energy of the source level of the words.  Think of your most holy scriptures around your world.  If you truly attune to the vibrations of the words, you can feel an upsurge in the energy within when the words speak Truth.  This is discernment.

 

These words you read come from a higher source.  Can you feel it?  Read one of your murder mysteries.  Do you feel it then?  We think not.  Pay attention.  Choose a section of holy scripture and savor it slowly, looking for the true meaning.  Do you feel a quickening?  Is there a spread of warmth in your heart?  Pause now as we send you love in this very moment for your good intentions of soul-growth by joining with us and reading these words.  It is like your Santa Claus coming down the chimney, is it not?  Bearing gifts for you as you read.  Blessed one, open your heart and accept this gift of eternal love.

More Than Tolerance

You speak of religious tolerance.  We ask you to feel this word, "tolerance."  Does it not have a bit of a negative vibration?  Do you not "tolerate" bad behavior or a naughty child?  Do you not "tolerate" medicine?  We ask you to see others' spiritual beliefs and all beliefs which differ from your own in a more positive light.  Are not beliefs merely different modes of perception?  What is wrong and right varies from one mind to another.  Is not all that exists merely an expression of the One Mind?

 

Do not merely tolerate others' beliefs, but look for what they can teach you.  All religions at a basic level share certain Truths, for these Truths come from inner teachings.  Those which may come from human distortions can be discarded by your individual mind through the act of loving discernment, meaning you give it the heart test.  How does it feel?

 

If you choose to discard a certain belief, do so not with mere tolerance, but with "compassionate allowing," as you see beyond the belief to the Spirit-essence of all beings.  Then you do not merely tolerate all others.  Then you allow yourself to love thy brother as thyself, and to thereby love God with all your heart.

In the Face of a Storm

You are preparing for a storm.  What do you do?  You place heavy boards over large windows.  You pick up objects which could fly about.  All of these are protective measures.  Do you not see that often you do prepare yourself in the same way in your mind for coming storms?  You close the shutters around yourself, thus closing yourself off from interaction with others.  No love can get in or out.  You have left nothing lying around your "yard," so completely insulated are you by this perceived threat. 

 

So, another may rant and howl.  What is the best reaction?  To howl back, to shutter yourself inside, or to radiate such a brilliant light that it quells the storm?  You know the answer.  Open wide your shutters and let your love shine.  Always light will overcome darkness.  Simply remain calm, trusting completely in the Light, and you will be guided safely along your path.

 

Embrace Life

Note from Suzanne: While hiking in the Adirondacks this week I took this photo of this amazing sight. (If the photo speaks to you, please share the link from this page with your friends). At the time, I tried to put into words in my mind what the scene meant to me, then I stopped, wanting to hear what Sanaya had to say about it instead. In meditation I asked for Sanaya’s thoughts on this scene. Here is what she said (prompting me to post the second photo which Ty took in the entry below this one.)

Here you have a fine example of the mineral kingdom and the plant kingdom coexisting in perfect harmony—both thriving in their individual environments. It is as if the one embraces the other in spite of their differences. Why cannot human beings coexist with such harmony in spite of their perceived differences? The tree does not push the rock aside, but embraces it. Can you not embrace those around you who seem to get in your way?

“Between a rock and a hard place” is a situation you oft describe. How do you handle such situations? Do you respond with flexibility, like the roots of this wise old tree, or by using might and power? Be as the tree. Embrace your obstacles. Embrace all of life for the lessons inherent in the obstacles.

As above, so below … from the mineral kingdom, to the plant kingdom, to the animal kingdom, to the human beings, and beyond to the world of no-form, all con-form with the Law of Love, for love is the glue that binds all things. Only when one resists this Law and fights against it does one create disharmony. Do not resist your obstacles. Embrace them. Using this lesson from nature, conform with your very nature, which is love.

The photograph did not capture an anomaly, but a truth of nature. These beautiful truths are oft obscured by layers of “dirt,” but once washed away, the harmonious nature of Life is clearly seen. Wipe away the dirt from your human eyes and see with the eyes of Spirit. Then you will see naught but love.

(Scroll down for another photo for perspective, then look again at the first picture. This is no small rock!)

Embracing Life!

Clearing the System

A cough is a natural way of ridding the body of an irritation. The muscles tense, and in a burst of air, the lungs, throat, and mouth are cleared. Through meditation and visualization you can do the same with your energy body. This is most helpful in clearing feelings of malaise and mental irritation which do gather first as lower vibration in the energetic field surrounding the body. These lower vibrations often manifest later as dis-ease within the physical body.

Sit regularly in the silence. Quiet the mind and body through deep breathing. When in a calm state, breathe in light through the crown chakra. Pull this divine healing energy down through the body, seeing it clear the energy field of all irritants as it does flow through you. If you feel especially clogged, take in a deep “breath” of this energy from both the sky and the earth. In tune with your physical breath, exhale forcefully, sending all dis-ease and lower vibration out and away from your field, leaving you fully balanced.

Do this regularly and maintain a greater sense of peace as well as good health. In this way, cleansing breaths of spirit-energy keep the need to cough at bay.

Finding Balance

You walk a tightrope between the physical and spirit world.  It is a balancing act.  Where you do you place your focus?  You place your attention on this physical life, for that is why you are here—to learn from it and from the others around you … all of you beautiful souls emerging at different rates into the light.  But whilst you are in this world, you maintain the balance simply by keeping in mind as often as possible that you are in this world but not of it.  You are a spirit-being first and foremost.

 

What does this recollection do for you?  It reminds you to pay attention to your thoughts, to be the presence of Love, and to give gratitude to God for this life.  These are things you can do at any moment and at all moments whilst walking about in your human suit.  When you remember to keep this balance in your life, your life flows ever more smoothly.  Say your prayers, sit in meditation, do a bit of spiritual reading, and attune to higher consciousness on a regular basis, and you will have a balanced life.

Awake and Celebrate!

Oh, how you do disdain the physical body! “It is too large … It pains me here, and here, and here … This does not work right … This does not look right ...” Paradoxically, your complaints oft become even worse as you begin to awaken to your true nature as a spirit-being. You place your focus on the spirit body and see the physical body as an instrument. This is true. A most perfect tool it is for expressing Spirit, but do you not see that the body is Spirit as well?

Have you not learned that God is All That Is? Then, is not the body comprised of Source Energy as well? Yes! And so, does it not make sense to revere every cell of your body? To honor every feature? To give thanks for this divine instrument, no matter how it looks or how it may seem to fail you? Do you see now how your human perceptions fail you, instead?

Yes, you are an awakening spirit-being, but until you can look upon the physical body as every bit as holy as the spirit-body and honor both with equal reverence, then you still slumber a bit. This is fine. Do not use your sleepiness as yet another reason to berate your humanity. This life experience is all about the journey of awakening. On this day of awakening, celebrate the body with its perfection and imperfections, for that is life in the physical world. For this you have a physical body, so raise your physical arms to the sky and use your physical voice to celebrate and give thanks.

Gifts

Share your gifts. What is it you do best? Why do others call them gifts? A gift is something special you give to another with no expectation of anything in return. These abilities and talents which you enjoy are God’s gift to you. You could do nothing with them and God would still be most pleased, for your gifts were given to you with no expectation. But gifts, like all things, are meant to be shared for the pleasure and upliftment they bring.

And so, we ask again: What is it you do best? What is it that brings you great joy? How can you use these gifts from God to bring great joy to others? This is where you find your purpose—in expressing your gifts. These treasures need not move mountains or astound others. Your gift may be that you make others smile. Perhaps your gift is in teaching, or perhaps you enjoy creating with your hands, be it food, or art, or beautifully arranged flowers. You know what it is that brings you joy. Bring that aspect of yourself to the forefront and give freely. This is when joy is found and love does abound.

Sensitivity

A cat’s whiskers are so very sensitive. They are small antennae that protrude from the face to detect and inform the cat about its surroundings. Would it not be useful to have such antennae? In fact, my friend, your entire energy field is like this. Vibrations around you do enter this field of energy and are detected by the mind before your physical brain registers them. The mind is separate from the brain. Your scientists are just now beginning to realize this, but your spirit has known it all along.

You register external events first through your intuition—your sixth sense. This is your antenna … your whiskers, if you will. Place more value and attention on this highly useful sense, and you will find yourself more attuned to all around you, most especially those vibrations which cannot be seen or felt physically. This is a sense that has been turned down by most humans, but you can turn it up at will. Will it to be so, and tune in to the subtleties around you.

In Moderation

Moderation is the key to peace. Do you not see how these two concepts fit like a hand in a glove? You cannot have peace when you are experiencing either too much or too little of anything, be it good or bad. This is why those who know peace intimately so often advise you to seek balance. Moderation lies close astride of the balance point. Just as on a see-saw, the closer you are to the center, the easier it is to come back into balance.

Are you always doing, doing, doing? Balance this with rest and relaxation. Are you often angry or happy to great extremes? Even though great happiness feels good to you, moderation is best, for the Law of Rhythm will come into play. The higher you allow your emotions to swing to one side, the greater they will swing back on the rebound. Yes, allow yourself joy, but in moderation. Seek the middle ground, and there you will find peace—a glove that fits the spirit quite perfectly.

Higher and Higher

You say that you are attempting to contact higher aspects of yourself.  And then the doubt does creep in.  "How can there be anything but this self that I know as 'me'?"  For a lifetime you have placed your focus on "me," and it is this very myopia which has led to the blindness of so many.  Take off your blindfold now and expand your focus.  Shift your consciousness to a reality far more grand than a small blue marble which floats through the cosmos.  Put on new lenses which allow you to see a reality of multiple dimensions in which the greater part of you wanders, explores, and connects with all of Life.

 

Have we not told you that all is One?  If that is so, then the lower self you know as "me" is "one" with a higher self and all selves.  Do you get it yet?  When you connect with your higher self, you are tapping in to the One.  The One is fragmented into you, and your neighbor, and your cat, and a rose.  But this is just one level of All That Is.  Why would not the One be fragmented into spirit guides, angels, and distant galaxies unseen by the human eye at a level beyond which you now place your focus?

 

Place your focus on infinite possibilities.  It is quite a wondrous world you inhabit, but it is only one world.  Take off your blindfold and set yourself free.

Dive Right In

In an effort to be and see only goodness, do not shut out the outer world.  Yes, it is true:  There beyond the Self is a world of duality—of good and evil, love and fear.  This is why you are having this earth-bound experience:  to learn from the differences.

 

Once you taste the sweetness of living as a conscious spirit-being in human form, you will want nothing but this experience of bliss.  But hear us now:  You are here for the full experience of life.  More bliss awaits, but in the meantime, dive in and live fully.  Do not run from the darkness.  Do not hide or seek shelter when you feel the baser vibrations around you closing in.  Merely step back a bit, observe with detached compassion, and send love.  In this way you are a full participant in the healing process—both of your world and of your soul.

 

There is no need to live in a cave or in a self-made bubble of happiness.  That safe place always lies within.  Go there as needed, but be fully present in the play of life. 

Step Out Boldly

Where you are going?

You really don't know.

Just remove your blindfold

And enjoy the show.

 

Life's an adventure

Meant to be seen,

Not run away from

Like a frightening dream.

 

Take on the challenges.

Step boldly out.

For enjoying the journey

Is what life's all about.

 

Some say life's an illusion.

Some call it a dream.

If that is the truth

Then why so real does it seem?

 

The truth is:  All is real.

There is nothing but this.

Each moment of experience

Is not for you to dismiss.

 

The fact is that all

Is a creation you make.

You do this with God

With every breath that you take.

 

So enjoy every moment,

For that's why you're here.

Yes, take off your blindfold

And step out without fear.

This Wondrous Journey

You wish to be farther along your spiritual path.  Why the impatience?  It is because once you have embarked upon this journey of remembrance, the rewards are so great that you become a bit greedy.  "I want more of these good feelings," is how you feel.  Yes, you feel.  That is the point.  You feel your spirit awakening, and it is indeed a joyous reunion to be reunited with your Self after a long slumber.

 

It is true what you have heard, however:  The journey is not about the destination.  You are traveling into eternity, and thus have nowhere to go.  You are exactly in the right place at all times for your soul's growth.  Now it is merely a matter of relaxing and enjoying the process of journeying.  It is a paradox, is it not?  A journey with no destination other than remembrance.  Remembrance of what?  That you are spirit … of Spirit.  That you are love, and you exist to grow in your expression of love—your true nature.  Can you do that fully in this moment?  Yes!  And does that not feel most wonderful?  No wonder you are enjoying this journey.  No wonder.

Poem #414 - Great Wisdom

You hear a whisper in your ear

But the voice at first, it is not clear.

Who is that speaking to me there?

Can I believe this?  Do I dare?

 

This is a voice that came with you.

It was there inside you as you grew.

And walk it does now, at your side,

For in your soul it does reside.

 

Your soul itself it is the source

Of this ever-present, guiding force

That speaks to you in whispers soft

And gives you guidance ever oft'.

 

But do you listen as you should,

And do its bidding, as it would?

We ask you now to heed this voice.

Yes, knowing you do have a choice.

 

The voice of Spirit does not err,

And for your peace does truly care.

But you must listen well, my dear,

If this voice you are to hear.

 

Be not stubborn.  Yes, give in,

And heed the words you hear within.

They come with love; they come to heal.

For God's great wisdom they reveal.

 

Simple Pleasures

Simple pleasures bring a smile to your face: the beauty of a flower … a pair of lovers embracing … the playfulness of a puppy … All of these are so-called mundane sights, yet are they not in their own way, highlights in your life?  This is because they highlight what is most important:  beauty, connection, and love.

 

Did you know that you live for these moments?  We do mean this in the most literal sense.  You live to experience beauty and love.  Do not bypass these moments.  Actively seek them out.  Pay attention to the world of love and beauty around you as you go about your day.  Even in the midst of seeming chaos, these simple pleasures will stand out as if highlighted when you make a concerted effort to look for them.  As we said, they are indeed highlighted as the highlights they are.  Pay attention and fill your life with pleasure.

Seeing Consequences

At the speed of a turtle … this is how it oft seems that things are accomplished in your world.  In the world of spirit, where all truly understand the creative nature of thought, thoughts manifest instantly.  In your world, you do entertain an idea, and at times the thought does not result in a reaction or a manifestation for some time.  This is because in our world there is no time.  In your world, time plays a vital role.  It allows your thoughts to play out in such a way that you are mightily aware of their consequences.

 

You are a student in the School of Life.  Study carefully how your thoughts become your reality.  Pay close attention as time marches on at times at the speed of a turtle, and at other times at the speed of a hare.  What role do your thoughts play in this perception?  Every possible role.  Life is a world of possibilities in which you make choices with your thoughts.  Control them well, and use them to grow.  That is why you are here.

Never without

You can search the world over for love, but you will be wasting effort.  Love is wherever you are, for love is all there is.  "Yes," you say, "but then why does there seem to be so much darkness and pain wherever I look?"  Because, beloved, you are looking externally at a physical world which is yet evolving.  The external world is yet learning the truths which you as spirit already do know.

 

Disharmony is the result of ignorance and choices that go against the perfect harmony of Life and Love.  Seek not outside yourself for love.  It is there, but hidden in the darkness.  Go within, where the light burns always.  There you will find perfect harmony.  The level of brightness depends upon how much you have internalized the darkness from without.  The real you is never "without."  Seek within and you shall find the light.  Then banish the darkness and be that which you seek.

 

Yes, this is our oft-repeated refrain … a never changing message.  And still you come back for more.  Why is that?  It is the magnetic nature of light.  Like a moth to the flame you are drawn.  It is the recognition of Truth … inside.  Love is your very nature.

Fully Secure

Insecurity … a word with which most humans are familiar.  We speak not of physical safety, but of emotional neediness.  You do experience a state of fear quite often with a basic question at the heart of it:  "Do others love me?"  You can break this down into a variety of lesser vibrations:  "Do others like me, appreciate me, approve of me, find me attractive, interesting, and worthy?"  All of these speak loudly of fear, and do lead to this non-secure feeling.

 

Do you not realize that others' approval of you is unnecessary?  Do you not realize that you are always worthy of love and admiration?  Why?  Because you are a child of God—a perfect and perfectly loveable spirit-being first and foremost.  Others could throw rocks and stones or verbal epithets at you repeatedly and do no harm to the spirit. 

 

Erect the armor of love.  Let this armor be not a barrier, but a shining suit you wear that reflects the light inside.  Let others say what they want … think what they want …Wearing the shield of love, be perfectly secure in the knowledge that you are fully worthy.  How could you be anything else?

In Your Loving Arms

You swaddle a baby in your arms and pull it close to your chest.  There your hearts do beat as one.  Is this not one of the greatest joys a human can enjoy?  This is a connection that takes you back to that place from which you came.  You feel this connection, for the tiny baby is so fresh as a human being that the spirit is fully able to be felt.  The vibrations which emanate from a baby are pure and clear.  These are the vibrations of love.  With these vibrations, your soul will always resonate. 

 

You hold a child to the chest—the seat of the soul—and the spirit awakes.  It rejoices to feel this vibration of its home, in some cases so long buried under layers of acquired humanness.  Have you no baby to hold at the present time?  Simply wrap your arms around yourself and greet the pure spirit inside with love.  Do this, and you will feel a stirring.  Do this.  It is the soul awakening.  Do this often, and you will find a wholly (holy) new attitude with which to greet the day.

Symphonies of Love

Music is the key.  It is the key to understanding all reality.  When a note vibrates at a certain pitch, it speaks to the chakras—the energy centers within your energy body.  It awakens them with a gentle touch.  It communicates a message of remembrance.  The varying tones of certain songs sing words to the heart and soul, saying, "This is who you are!  Do you feel this love?"  This feeling is something the spoken word oft falls short of, but a musical tone cannot be misinterpreted.  It crosses dimensions and realities, uniting all beings and facets of spirit.

 

Music is the language of spirit.  Use it to uplift yours.  Feel the tones in your heart and allow your heart to expand.  In this way, you radiate a love song to all those around you.  Compose a song of love in your heart and share it freely, just as does the Great Composer.  Together, there is no limit to the beautiful symphonies you can create.

Waterfalls

Note from Suzanne – As we have travelled about this summer and last, the highlights for me have always been the waterfalls we come across, big and little. Waterfalls are my favorite thing in nature. I stand and stare at them, and have never been able to figure out exactly what it is about waterfalls that draws me to them in such a mesmerizing way. Today,we will visit Niagara Falls, which I haven’t seen since I was 10 years old, so I sat in meditation and asked Sanaya, “Why do waterfalls attract me so?” As I teach in my workshops, you never need to wonder about things when the answers are readily available. Just ask. Here is Sanaya’s answer:

All of life is a microcosm of the macrocosm. As above, so below. The waterfalls, like so many things in your world, reflect truths which you feel innately and take you back to your spirit-nature. In the waterfall there is beauty and power. There is rhythm, there is new life, there is a top and a bottom flowing together. There is freshness, there is majesty, there is purity, and there is music, from a trickle to a roar, all of it announcing, “This is Life! See how it flows! See the beauty! Feel the energy! You are part of this! You are part of this flow … and in you lies this power.”

Be in the flow. Harness this power, and let the world hear your loving roar. You are the waterfall, flowing over the rocks in your life with ease, knowing that at the bottom of the fall, the flow continues into something even greater … ever onward, to be recycled, rise to the skies, and return to the earth again as rain … a never-ending cycle. Is it any wonder that the waterfall is beautiful? A symbol of the beauty of Life, itself.

With a Purpose

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the name of Love … for why else would we be here? Does your life at times seem empty and without purpose? This is far from the truth. You fulfill the greatest purpose that exists: You exist to love.

Fancy yourself as a hawk. Lift off the ground and survey all you see, including yourself. All may appear as tiny specks the higher you go, but all increase in size when you draw close and there place your focus. You are a focus of the One Mind, and because this is where God places its focus, do you see how very important you are? Not a speck—but a limitless spirit—one with All That Is.

Never forget this when you are feeling small and insignificant. Drift not with the winds, but stand firmly planted with purpose—the purpose of growing in knowing yourself as intricately connected with the Source of All Love.

Compassionate Dispassion

You well up with frustration when others react contrary to your liking.  This is a very human response.  Do not berate yourself for feeling less than loving.  Simply recognize it and then shift to spirit-consciousness.  From this place of love, send compassion to those who do not think as you do.  What is compassion, but understanding mixed with love.  From this place of compassionate understanding you can now experience dispassion, which is not a lack of caring, but a lack of excitement.  Dispassion equates with peace, and is this not the optimum place from which to face all trials?

 

Radiate peace-filled love, and that will be your experience.

Ups and Downs

Every day presents new challenges with its ups and downs.  Is this not just like your stock market?  At times things are on an upswing, and at others there is a precipitous fall.  We wish you to understand that all events are outside the True Self.  You need not ride the ups and downs as if belted into the roller coaster.  Instead, step back and watch the ride.

 

Yes, of course there will always be practical matters to attend to, for you are in this world.  But never forget, you are not of it.  You are a spirit-being having a human experience.  Have your human experience, but do not become so consumed by it that you forget who you are.  When you find your emotions riding the same roller coaster as the events in your human life, then you have identified too closely with the human aspect.  Take care of business, indeed, but let always a spirit of love and equanimity control the ride.

Reactions

"Did you meet the situation with love?"  That is the great test of your lifetime.  This is a test you can apply after any event, any experience.  And apply it you should, for it will be the question you are asked by your higher self and by those who gently guide you when you pass through heaven's gate.

 

Yes, your life is filled with challenges, and always you do have a choice of how to respond.  So many ways do you have from which to choose … with fear, anger, defensiveness … by running away, by taking a stand, by doing nothing.  All is a spectrum from low vibration to high.  Understanding this, you can see that the optimum choice is always love.  We challenge you to find any circumstance when love is not the optimum choice.

 

When faced with a choice, step into the future and look back upon the moment.  Did you meet the moment with love?  Constant vigilance, my friend.  Constant vigilance.

Refresh Your Soul

See the beauty in all things.
Hear the song that nature sings.
All of life exists to show
That which inside you all do know.

Had you the opportunity, as some have had, to listen to the sound of your earthly crickets singing at a higher rate of vibration, you would hear in their song the voice of God. Like a choir of angels, the crickets sing to take you back to your rightly home—loved eternally in a place that knows no bounds of love—in the realm of spirit.

Praise nature and its beauty. Sit in the midst of this beauty as often as you can and celebrate your beauty. Return to your origins simply by immersing yourself in love and beauty, and thus refresh your soul.

Like a River

Peace like a river … a very apt phrase for describing the way the vibration of love does flow through you.  Why do you say that you feel warm in your heart when love is present?  Understand that love is always present, but when allowed to flow freely, the higher energy of this highest of vibrations produces an actual heat.  A healer's hands become hot from this healing energy of love, do they not?  And always it does flow—yes—like a river, stopped only by the thoughts which dam it.

 

Staunch not this vital flow, but seek out the blockages so that the warmth fills not only the heart, but all of your being.  There you will find true peace, in the depths of the river of love.

This Blessed Gift

Yours is a world of infinite possibilities, bursting with potential. Do you feel despair? Are you discouraged? If so, you have shut yourself off from realizing the Truth—that all the world is yours. Your dreams can come true. We speak now not of the fancy car or larger home, but your dreams of finding peace, joy, and love. Of these elements there is no shortage—not in your world, nor any other.

Open your mind, but most especially your heart, to the Truth that you are deserving of all the love the world has to bestow upon you. You are the most worthy being in the Universe, as are all of your brothers and sisters. No one is spared this gift, but one must be open to receive it. How do you open to love? Again we repeat: by knowing you are worthy of receiving it. It comes not from others, but from your Higher Self, which is eternally yours. Ask and ye shall receive this most blessed gift that is waiting to be bestowed upon you.
