From Suzanne to my Beloved Friends

Thank you so very much for the dozens upon dozens of emails I have received in the past 24 hours.  I always try to answer every email I receive, but there are just too many.  All of you said the same thing in your own loving way, so allow me to say here, I love you all so much and thank you for your kind words.  We're all here to learn and we are doing a good job of that, aren't we?

 

It is impossible to have the consciousness of Sanaya and the loving messages come through me every day without being changed.  Taking those messages to heart has brought me such peace.  May you find the same peace and may we all bring peace to our world.

Many of you wondered what Sanaya had to say about all of this.  I didn't even have to ask.  The words just flowed this morning as soon as I quieted my mind … (please read "Tests" below).

Tests

Do you not know of one who was spit upon and ridiculed for his beliefs?  How did he react?  He knew the Truth of who he was, and so do you.  What did he say of judgment?  Judge not others, only yourself.  Why do you find this so challenging?  Because it is so very human to judge.  Judgment brings anger.  Are you not familiar with this feeling?  Why is the first emotion that arises anger and not love?  Because love is the truth and anger is the teacher that brings you back to truth.

 

Acknowledge the anger.  Thank it for the lesson.  Realize this is a programmed reaction.  Now program yourself to go from anger to love.  Love heals all ills.

 

Send love to those who act out of fear.  They cling so tightly to their beliefs because they have been taught that if they do not think a certain way, in a way they will experience death and darkness.  You in your heart know that ultimately there is only light and eternal life for all beings, without judgment.  Knowing there is no death, there is nothing to fear.  This leaves only love. 

 

Judge not those who act and react out of fear.  Feel the instant anger, then replace it with love.  Others may not change in this lifetime, but you can.  You can be the presence of love.  That is why you are here.  Did we ever tell you these lessons are easy?  No.  Did we tell you the rewards are great?  Repeatedly.  Hold your head high.  Not with boastful pride that comes from false superiority, but with the pride of overcoming your own human tendencies and being the love that all of you are.

 

Blessings be upon you.

Greatness

God is the most important person in the world. Of course, God is not a person, but God is personified in every being. If God is All That Is, then all that is is holy. When you find yourself the center of the universe, know that there are infinite centers. Temper your self-importance, even though you are holy, indeed, and see all others as equally important, for all are holy, no matter what they do, think, or say.

All are focuses of God-Consciousness. Within all things and all beings is holiness. None are more special nor any lesser than another. This is oneness, and you are part of That. Practice looking upon all others and seeing the holiness … seeing the Love. Be the Love that you are with all humility in your incredible greatness, for All is Great.

The Road You're On

All of life is filled with strife.  Welcome it.  How boring would be an existence where nothing ever changed.  Are you not supremely proud of yourself when you overcome adversity?  Yes, but you would rather not have had that experience, you say.  We understand.  It is natural to want to run away from pain.  But pain reminds you how enjoyable is pleasure.  Activity reminds you how dull is inactivity. 

 

Pain is a necessary part of growth, but it is a sliding scale.  Just how painful is that pain depends on the focus you give it and the thoughts with which you surround it.  Experience the bumps.  Acknowledge them, and then drive through them to smoother roads instead of stalling or slowing down.  "Ah, that way was quite the experience.  May I never pass that way again.  But if I do, I have learned the best way around."

 

Grow from the pain.  This is the point.  And whist on the smooth path, appreciate that experience with gratitude.  It's a wonderful life—bumps and all.

An Extra Treat ...

Would you like to hear Sanaya?  Listen to a recording of a session held October 27th and follow along with the written transcript.    Here's the link:  http://www.suzannegiesemann.com/Recording27OCT.html

(Don't miss what Sanaya said this morning (below).

Precious Metal

Hold your head high through all of your challenges.  What is it that makes you want to run and hide when the road gets bumpy?  You have a reputation, you say?  Based upon what?  On what others think?  On what labels and ideas you have built up around yourself in your mind?  Did you come into this life with a reputation?  In a way, you did … a reputation of pure love.  But that has become degraded by the human ideas of right and wrong. 

 

Hold your head high as you face challenges.  This is why you are here—to be forged by fire as the strong rod of gold that you are.  Bend not under the heat, but stand tall and remember, you are precious metal, indeed.  Now find the mettle to face others who may not see how you glitter inside.  Hold your head high and shine no matter what.  You cannot fail the test.  Life is about growing in love.  There is no shortage of opportunities to do so.  Begin by loving yourself.

Poem #420 - Through Thick and Thin

Sitting in the darkness

You doubt that we are here.

But it is your intention

That always draws us near.

 

All of life is like this,

A play of your emotion.

Your wish is our desire.

We thrive on your devotion.

 

We only wish to serve you.

At times it's like a test.

For when you also wish to serve

The results are always best.

 

So, you see, it's quite a team

That we and you do make.

Working thus in harmony,

A simple give and take.

 

We give love, you take it.

We appreciate yours, too.

For, helping you to learn to love

Is why we do come through.

 

So count on us to be there

Through all things thick and thin.

At your side your angels fly,

If you will only let us in.

Growing Gracefully

The leaves of autumn blow about, so dry and brittle are they.  They will return to dust, only to be replaced in the Spring by new shoots.  All of life is like this.  The human body comes in green and lithe and over time becomes brittle.  This cannot be stopped, and why would you want it to?  Ah, yes, because you think that falling from the tree is the end of the story.  Yes, for the leaf's structure it is the end, but the energetic pattern of the leaf remains.  You merely cannot see it.

 

What reappears in the springtime is following a pattern of consciousness.  Do you not see how all of life is like this, including your own?  You fear your demise, but it is only the demise of the body, not your pattern and most certainly not your consciousness.  You as spirit cannot grow brittle and die.  You are, indeed, forever young in spirit.   You grow eternally, yet never age in physical terms as you know it. 

 

May you find comfort in this knowledge.  Allow the body to age gracefully as you accept the grace of God in giving you eternal life.

Outcomes

Get yourself out of the way when you are having difficulties accomplishing a task.  It is the ego which causes blockages.  Always remind yourself, "I by myself do nothing.  I as a part of the Greater Self have limitless power."  Take less credit for your accomplishments and give credit where it is due—to the Higher Intelligence which flows through you at all times.  It is God, Spirit, the Divine Mind which animates you.  That is where your power comes from.  Surrender to this power and see your personal power increase.

 

Let not your heart be troubled when things do not go your way.  Surrender and ask to be guided. Then, sit back and relax without worry.  Take action as you are guided, but now it is without effort.  There is never a need to struggle.  Struggle is merely a sign that you are allowing ego over Spirit to be in control.  You already know the outcome when this is so.  You may not always know the outcome when you allow God to run the show, but you can trust that it will be Divine.

You at the Center

You do love it when others focus attention on you.  It feels good to be the center of importance.  Where is the center of all that is?  Why, it is right where you are!  Your great astronomers of the past did think that your Earth was the center of the universe.  Many years later they were derided for this conclusion.  We wish to tell you that you are, indeed, the center of all that is, and those you see around you are as well.

 

All is a matter of focus.  All is a focus of the One Mind.  Where you place your focus becomes your reality.  The One Mind maintains infinite focus in infinite realities.  Enjoy being the center of attention of God.  My, doesn't that feel good?

Dream On

Behold the dreamer.  She carries in her heart hopes and aspirations for peace and a world filled with loving kindness.  At times she feels the fool as she looks about and sees the opposite of her dreams.  Yet, she holds fast to that desire and the knowing that this kind of world exists, for she knows it in her heart and recognizes it in her soul.

 

Do you recognize her in you?  Of course you do, for she is you.  He is you.  Awaken the dreamer.  Give him and her sustenance.  This is the real world—not the one you behold with your eyes.  Nurture the dreamer.  This is the way to turn dreams into reality.

A Reason to Rejoice

There is no substitute for experience.  You may think you understand another's grief, but until you experience the death of one you hold dear, you cannot fully understand how another suffers.  You may think you know what pain is, but until you suffer yourself, you do not fully understand.  As a spirit, all is love and light.  As an earthly being (for just a while a role you play, mind you), you have the opportunity to experience pain as well as full health; grief as well as celebration and joy. 

 

Yes, your life has its share of ups and downs.  That is why you are here—for the experience.  Do not wallow in the grief and pain.  Experience it.  Learn from it.  Acknowledge it, and then rise above.  Once you have pulled yourself up, now you can do the same for others.  All others are here for the same reason:  to experience duality and grow from it. 

 

Rejoice!  You are alive!

Salty Tears

Tears of joy and tears of sorrow … they flow exactly the same, bringing to the surface your emotions.  These salty drops are a release of what you feel inside and can no longer contain.  Some might say that tears are merely a reaction of the physical body, and there is an element of that.  Welcome your tears, however, for there is a spiritual aspect to them as well.  Greet them as holy messengers.  You are alive!  Inside of you is a spirit-being longing to express itself—to experience joy and sadness.  Yes, sadness, for in this way is the joy all the more sweet.  Does not joy at times feel tinged with sadness?  This is the play of life in human form as you slide up and down the scale of emotional experience. 

 

Tears of joy.  Tears of sadness.  Symbols of life.  Let them flow, and be fully alive.

Unfolding Beautifully

There is no harm in waiting.  All does not have to be done at once.  How does a flower open, but by unfolding?  You are in the process of unfolding.  Do not rush the process, but do it in a patient, orderly fashion, watching the perfection.  Allow nature to take its course.  You cannot rush a seed to sprout.  Why would you rush your development?  Could it be because you have experienced a taste of the bliss that comes with knowing who you are?  So now you are dissatisfied.  Is that it?  This is a good thing.  That blissful feeling is not finite.  It is not going anywhere.  That, my friend, is love vibrating more fully than you normally experience in your seedling state. 

 

Nurture your growth, knowing that growth is occurring as you love.  Enjoy the journey and relax.  All is in perfect order.

The One True Voice

There is no authority in the world, save the voice of God.  The challenge comes that so few can differentiate between the true Voice and the false gods to whom you give power.  Love rules the world.  If love is not present in a situation, then ego is ruling.  If hatred and anger are present, then God has been edged out.  If peace is not the answer, then insanity has been given a foothold.

 

May Love rule your world and influence all of your decisions.  May peace accompany your footsteps.  May you see and feel the presence of God in every moment.  Listen carefully to all of the voices.  Among them is the One True Voice that never errs.

In and out of Focus

You cannot see the forest for the trees.  But is it not at times a good idea to focus on the trees?  Where you place your focus is what you create.  It becomes your reality.  However limited you wish your field of vision to make, so it becomes.  However expansive your beliefs, so it is.  Are you fenced in by the trees?  Enjoy this reality.  Do you wish for greater experiences?  Wander through the entire forest, taking it all in, reveling in the variety of trees and the forest in its wholeness.

 

You are only limited by the limits of your focus.  We speak not of vision with the physical eyes.  Go within, where all at first appears dark, but is in fact the source of all light.  It is that light you focus on all that you see and all that you wish to see.  Thus your world expands.

 

Are you getting an idea of the playfulness of creation?  Expand your focus or contract it, but have a ball while you're at it.

Sinking In

Surrender comes when you finally admit that you are not alone in this world and that you need not do it all by yourself.  Surrender says, "I need no longer rely on strength or bravery, but give in to the realization that I am part of something far greater than I ever realized."  When you allow that realization to flow through you, then you discover great strength without exertion.  Then you discover courage beyond bravado.  Then you discover guidance that whispers softly, letting you know you are not alone.

 

Surrender as if sinking into a deeply padded mattress.  Relax and feel how very tense you have been, carrying the false burden of believing you had to do it all alone.  Rest there in the comfort of now knowing that in surrendering you find your true Self and let that higher part of you reign.

In Resonance

Why do certain colors complement each other and others clash?  Why do certain musical notes complement each other and others clash?  Why do certain people complement each other and others clash?  It is because all is vibrating energy.

 

Life is about resonance and dissonance.  Your purpose in life is to increase your vibration so that you resonate more fully with the vibration of love.  Those with whom you resonate have a complementary vibration to your own.  You share similar thoughts and beliefs and radiate a similar vibration of love.

 

The opposite is true of those with whom you clash.  What to do when there is a clash?  You can always run away, but this does not raise the vibration of the whole.  Love more fully, for all is love.  The more fully you love, the more you resonate with all that is.

Wonder no Longer

All answers lie within.  You can consult your so-called psychics for guidance, and there is nothing wrong with a little help, but learn to rely upon your ever-present inner guidance.  Why do you feel out of sorts?  Ask the question within.  Why are you lashing out at others?  Ask the question within.  Do not merely wonder.  Ask deliberately of higher consciousness.  Then, my friend, expect the answer.  Beware, for the answer may just hit you on the head when you least expect it.  The answer will come in the best way to get your attention.  You asked the question and we will answer.  It is the Law.  First you must ask.

 

Wonder no longer.  Ask, and then be filled with the wonder of your true connection with the Source of all answers.

Patterns of Creation

The All the All the All the All the All.  The One the One the One the One the One.  Love is love is love is love is love is the All the All the All the All One All One All One All One All One.

 

Repeat the solo words All.  One.  Love.  Then repeat them as a couplet.  Then repeat them as a never-ending cycle, and you will begin to FEEL their meaning rather than simply hearing a word.

 

Close your eyes and repeat these words in cyclical fashion and you will begin to understand creation itself.  You must feel it in your heart before you can truly be it. 

 

Love is Love is Love is All is All is All is One is Love is All is You.

Sure-Footed

You walk by placing one foot before the other. There is trust in stepping out blindly, and there is knowing exactly where to place your foot. All of life is a mixture of blind faith and knowing. Finding the proper balance is key. How do you do this? Reconnect with the Source that walks with you always.

This takes a bit of faith until you place your feet in just the right spot enough times that the trust becomes an all-pervading knowing. Then trust is knowing you are guided always. Then you could step out with eyes closed and be more sure-footed than ever before in your life that this kind of trust is available to you. Walk forward toward this goal one step at a time.

Born Again and Again

You are born again in every moment.  Each time you breathe you are given the opportunity to experience the Christ within—the perfect communion with the Creator as a child of God.  The one known as Jesus did know this and teach this.  So profound and radical was the teaching that still wars are fought over these words.

 

You need not die physically nor change radically to be born again.  You need only admit what you know in your heart—that there is no separation between you and the kingdom of heaven.  It lies there in the mind and in the heart.  Each moment that you forget this you die, and each moment that you remember this you are born again. 

 

So many more birthdays you can celebrate.  Make them birth-moments as you walk about day in the full realization of your unity with all creation.  Do this, my friend, and celebrate every moment of your life.

Behold the Masterpiece

Yes, it is time for another reminder of one of the greatest virtues:  compassion.  What is this, but understanding and empathy for another.  It is a feeling within the heart that another's actions and experiences, while not your own, are understandable and acceptable no matter how different from your own.  How can you feel greater compassion for another?  Begin with yourself.  Know that you would appreciate another's concern, caring, and understanding no matter how you behaved or thought. 

 

Remember that you are all the same:  spirit hard at work perfecting itself.  The perfect figure is being chiseled bit by bit from a large stone.  In some, more of the perfection is revealed than in others, yet the same perfection lies inside all.  Be as Michelangelo and see the masterpiece within, no matter how much stone lies on the outside.  From this viewpoint, having compassion for others is quite easy.

Monkey Business

Monkeys swing from branch to branch, oft jumping as if flying through the spaces in between.  Such freedom they do enjoy.  Their life seems like all play and games.  They sit up high and view the world with curiosity.  Could you not learn a lesson from these creatures?

 

Invite a bit of playfulness into your life.  Monkey around a bit.  Why so serious all the time?  Be free to jump from branch to branch, exploring new ways of being, new ways of seeing from new vantage points.  Rest a while in these new ways of being.  Sit and scratch your head.  It is quite curious, this new vantage point, is it not?  Now screech.  Let the world hear your voice, and do not forget to laugh.  There is a lot to be learned from God's creatures, is there not? 

 

(From Suzanne:  I then heard, "Each creature is a teacher—a lesson we will continue in future days.  You did ask for something different.  Have we not told you that prayers are always answered when they benefit the greater good?"  This should be interesting …)

Let Them In

All human beings have frailties.  Some turn to drink to handle their problems.  Some lash out.  Some retreat into a shell.  All of these are coping mechanisms.  How do you cope alone?  Poorly, do you not?  It is in the reaching out that you find support, for always will you be guided toward a source of love—the healing balm.  This love lies always inside you, but at times it takes another to show you this truth.

 

Turn to another not in anger, not in fear, not as a crutch, but as a way-shower.  Let someone outside of yourself show you that you are not alone.  Once this recognition registers in your soul, the part of your soul that has lain hidden will stir.  Cultivate this feeling as you experience it.  Given acknowledgment, it will flourish.  Then you will know that friends and support systems or not, you are never alone.

One Source

When you look upon another,

There I AM.

When you gaze into the eyes of a lover,

There I AM.

 

When you stroke another's face,

There I AM.

When you behold the human race,

There I AM.

 

There is nowhere you can gaze That I AM not.

This is the only lesson you've forgot.

When you can take these words and know them in your heart.

Then you will know that You and I can never be apart.

 

Take these words and hold them to your chest.

With this knowing in your heart you now can rest.

For all is One and nothing ever dies.

From the one Source all love and life it does arise.

Shocking ...

 "Oh God, creator of happiness and hatred …"  A shocking statement, perhaps.  "How can this be?"  For there is nothing but God.  From the most base element or thought to the most holy, all is Creation itself in expression.  How can you say, "That is God, and that is not"?  All are aspects of Love in evolution.

 

You are an aspect of God.  As such, you work in concert with the Conductor to create the most beautiful symphony possible.  Where there is hatred, yes, sow peace.  In so doing, do you not see how you are being used to raise the vibration of the whole?  Yes, all is one.  In oneness, nothing is left out, not evil, not hatred, not spite, nor vengeance.  All of these are merely reflections of a lack of visible light.  The light is there, waiting to be brightened.  All is Spirit.  All is God.  Call it what you will.  You are part of that Whole.  Won't you work to make the whole brighter?

Grab onto the Branch

Water swirls in little pools, following currents.  You often do the same, following patterns set before you, or pushed along by the patterns of others.  At times you get stuck in little eddies, going round and round, repeating the same action until finally released to drift along freely.  Then along comes another whirlpool, and you are sucked inside to go round and round yet again.

 

How do you break out of the cycle?  By overcoming the lesser force with greater.  There is always available to you a higher power that does not wish to see you struggle and feel trapped going round and round.  Grab onto the branch being offered you and break free.  Then you will flow.  Flow imbued with this power, no longer fighting with your will upstream or stuck in the eddy, but floating in the same direction. 

 

Now you are free, and isn't this the most wondrous, peaceful, feeling to drift past the eddies or course right over them?  This is who you are:  part of the flow.  You make the choice to be weak or powerful.  In surrender to the full force, you will find the power.

Sacred Sound

Chanting.  We ask you to give it a try.  Why?  For in the act of repeating a sound, you do experience the act of creation.  You come to a greater understanding of the Creator and of yourself as the same.

 

Find a quiet place.  Relax the body.  Breathe deeply for a few moments, then choose the sound of creation to begin:  Om.  A perfect vibration.  Your body will be well pleased with how this feels as you string one tone after another.  And then, as you intone this sacred sound, you will begin to understand how life works.  From the silence arises a vibration.  After it has been created, it is sustained.  Consciousness determines the length of its existence.  And then, after the fullness of experience, it returns to the silence, the cycle complete.  Like all cycles, it begins again:  creation, sustainment, and extinction.  Om.  Om.  Ommmmmm.

 

You may create a burst of short chants, or sustain many long tones in a row.  Do you see how you create?  Always from the silence, and always back to the silence does the vibration return, again and again.  And what is doing the creating?  Consciousness.  What is that which is created?  The Word. 

 

Play with Om and experience God.

The Orderly Stage

When you knock upon a door, it is opened.  Alas, it is not always opened by the one you expect.  You are not alone in this adventure you call life.  Others play vital roles.  All are cells in the body of the Creator, all serving the greater good.  At times you only see your influence upon what is most near and dear to you.  As a part of the whole, your influence and role is far greater than you imagine.  It is not diminished because there are so many others, but increased in value for the greatness you make up as a whole.

 

Realize that your desires may at times conflict with those of others.  Know that all is in perfect order and that order will always reign.  There is a Director of this great play who loves all of the actors.  If you stumble and bump into the role of another upon the stage from time to time, consult the Director.  All will be sorted out in favor of the grand production.  It is the Law … the Law of Love.

On Mind Reading

You ask how it is possible for one mind to know the thoughts of another.  You think this is some kind of magic, as if your mind is jumping across empty space, entering the mind encased inside a physical brain, and reading the inner workings of that physical apparatus.  As long as you adhere to this thinking, so-called mind reading, or what is known as telepathy will hold a magical mystery to you.  It is only when you understand that there is no emptiness between your mind and that of another that the magic disappears and logic enters the picture.  All is consciousness.  There is no beginning and end to consciousness, only a flow … a spectrum of vibration.

 

The space between your mind and that of another is merely a ribbon of vibration.  Feel the vibration of the ribbon and hear the thoughts, feel the emotions, know the other.  It is not magic nor mysticism.  It is reality.  The reality is:  all is One.  You are a focus of Infinite Divine Consciousness.  What will you do with that understanding?

Ever-Present

Love is in the air. 

Love is all around you. 

With beauty, light, and goodness,

Love it does surround you.

 

Do you feel a lack of love in your life?  Then, my friend, you are looking the wrong way.  Go within, where love resides.  There it is not a dark cave as you imagine the inside of your body to be.  We are not speaking of the body.  We are speaking of the flame of Consciousness, the spark of divinity, the ever-present, ever-glowing light of I AM that burns eternally within you as Spirit. 

 

You are not the body.  If you do not feel enough love in your life, then you are identifying with yourself as the body and not as the true loving, glowing, spirit-being that you are.  You are looking at others as bodies meant to give you love and bring you happiness, rather than the emerging spirit-beings that they are.

 

Cease the seeking.  Terminate the feeling of lack, and find that which you seek ever-present with you now, for it IS you.

Heal with Love

How many times have you turned your head away from an uncomfortable sight?  When you see one with a deformity or an infirmity that makes you feel uncomfortable, do you not wince inside and out and turn your head?  When you see a beggar on the street, do you look away?  The so-called problem does not go away, for the problem lies in the perception.  All is of God.  There is naught but love.  Remember this when you see something that makes you uncomfortable.  You may not understand this expression of the God force.  All you can control are your own reactions and your thoughts.

 

Would it not feel far better to send a blessing in such instances?  Instead of looking away, look within your heart.  Awaken your compassion and send love.  The rays of love are healing, and are felt at a level you may not perceive for not.  Do it anyway.  In this way, you help to heal the other, you raise your own vibration, and you help to heal your world.  Do this, and the discomfort you previously felt goes away—washed away by the far higher vibrations of love.
