Along the Spectrum

All of life exists along a spectrum of vibration of Consciousness.  The higher the vibration, the closer you come to the experience of bliss—of perfection—of the totality of God.  Just as in the physical world you can only perceive a limited segment of the spectrum of electromagnetic energy, light, and colors, so it is that because of the density of the physical body you can only perceive a limited segment of the whole of Consciousness here, even though Consciousness makes up your very soul.

The greatest bliss you can experience now is but a tiny speck of the glory that awaits you.  That is why you call it Heaven and innately know there is something so much better.  Heaven is not a place, but a state of consciousness.  You create your own heaven on earth from moment to moment by your choice of thoughts, and beliefs, and actions.  You slide up and down the scale of consciousness from moment to moment using your very will.  What WILL you experience today?  Will it be heaven or hell?  It is always a choice. 

 Know that you enter into the so-called Heaven vibrating as a soul at the very state of consciousness or level of vibration that your soul earned here.  So, unless you are quite content with your use of will and love at this point, do not be in a hurry.  Work on perfecting your thoughts now so that you will enter the next phase at an even higher point on the spectrum.  Yes, you will be surrounded by love no matter at what level you enter, but the greater your love here and now, the more heavenly the experience ever after.  It is all one spectrum leading to the same place:  Home.

From the Start

Can you imagine if all young children were informed that they were living expressions of God?  That they need not look up to a figure in the sky and earn His favor, but instead be the living embodiment of the loving Force here on earth?  And what if all children were taught that the other children they encounter were made up of that self-same essence?  What kind of world would that engender?  Then they might just pick up a toy gun and ask, "What is this for?"  It would make no sense to them. 

You have your work cut out for you, do you not?

Do not become discouraged.  Be the presence of Love in every moment, and start a revolution.

Grocery shopping and going to the post office and cleaning and brushing your teeth … all of these things are chores that cut into your time—artifices of life in the human world. Why must you do any of it? Did your ancestors who lived in caves?

Keep in mind that all the trappings of living in your modern world are just that: trappings. The running about and doing, doing, doing keeps your mind focused on the outer world. Yes, it is nice to have clean teeth and a clean house. We do not wish to infer that these do not add to your health in a physical body, but add a bit of mindfulness as you go about your chores.

As you stand in line at the grocery store or the post office, remember why it is you stand at all and what it is you stand for. Then, take a moment and send a ray of love to the one in line before you who may be slowing you down in getting on to your next chore, but who may be facing a great challenge. That smile you just gave them may be the only ray of light they have felt in a day filled with chores. Yes, your days are filled with tasks, but the greatest task of your life is bringing spirit into every moment. Do not let this get lost in the mundane tasks of being human.

Playing Favorites

"Do me a favor."  This you ask of another when you hope they will bestow upon you a kindness.  Always they do have a choice, and that is what makes this action special in your eyes.  If they do you this favor, they look favorably upon you.  If they do not, you perceive this as a slight.   

Life is full of choices.  Those of a higher nature are favorable.  Those of a lower vibration lower your over-all experience.  Do yourself a favor and choose wisely.  Choose in the direction of love, kindness, and compassion always.  In so doing, you are doing a favor for all of humanity, for what affects one affects the whole.  It is impossible to favor one over another, for there is only One Spirit, which knows no favorites.

Love Thy Enemy

What is an enemy, but a perception of separation? Most certainly, you can understand the word if another has personally harmed you. But what of those you are merely informed are your so-called enemies? You march off and kill each other because the mass consciousness has accepted these labels. We are not telling you what to do or not to do. There are times when self-defense is an excellent option as a learning tool in a reality in which death appears real.

When you fully understand that death is an illusion—that only the body dies, and that the spirit pays for all actions ultimately, then all actions lead either to growth or to stunting growth. With this understanding, there are no enemies. All are fellow travelers and some are greater teachers than others. Love thy enemy—if such a thing exists—as yourself, and you will begin to understand that all is one.

The Stone Pile

Buried deep in the mind are little pebbles and some stones. You carry these around and they add to your burden. At times they rattle and grate upon each other, but they are just heavy enough to sink to the bottom of your subconscious and stay there. Such a burden they cause, these bits of dense vibration that serve no purpose other than to slow you down.

Identify the stones. Some of you pay money for pretty stones with encouraging words written upon them. You find them in a basket by a cash register and you sort through them until you find just the one that speaks to you: “peace,” “love,” “serenity.”

It is time, my friend, to sort through the stone pile in the mind and find the stones that it would be best to cast out. These are imprinted with words such as “unworthy” and “unloved.” How those stones got there is not important. That you continue to carry these around is all-important. Dig deep down. Sort through the rubble, and clear out the clutter. It is time to lighten the load.

Ah, Parents ...

Your earthly father may or may not have fulfilled your emotional needs.  The same with your mother.  And what of it?  Are you not here because of them?  All of you made an agreement before coming to this life that you would make a family, whether or not you stayed together, whether or not you shared love.  You were all exactly what the other needed for your individual souls' growth.

If the relationship you now share is completely loving, then you have come a long way and healed many wounds in this life and others.  If there is a lack of love, then you continue to help each other.  Do you see this?  What better way to learn to love unconditionally, just as does your heavenly Father-Mother, than to love those who allowed your spirit to take on physical form, no matter how human they were.

Love knows no bounds, but the human does.  The human sets conditions, even with those who brought the human into this world.  It seems a strange way to learn to grow, but actually, it is quite brilliant. 

Noise

Turn down the noise. We are trying to talk to you. Your higher self is trying to whisper in your ear, but you cannot hear it through the din. Ego tells you to turn up the volume. Turn on the television and the radio. Put your earbuds in so that you do not have to think and, heaven forbid, you do not have to feel. If you did that, your soul would start to heal. You would no longer identify with ego and allow him to have his way.

Silence during meditation is far more beneficial than you know. Silence at regular periods throughout your day is transformational.

You become restless and afraid when it is “too quiet.” Why is this so? For then you start to feel the lower vibrations that still need healing. To heal them, they must first be felt and then brought fully to the light. When the radio and television blare, ego is quite happy, for you do not hear the quiet voices. It is your choice. Listen, feel, and heal, or remain a slave. There is no right or wrong, no easy way or hard way, simply a new way of being that we offer you to try and see how it feels to be silent.

This One

“This One” – this one incarnation you are experiencing – this is what others would know as “you” and what you would know as “I.” This One thinks it is the center of the universe, even though there are billions of This Ones. And so, This One takes on a name, a unique name to identify this go-around of soul-force, of God Energy.

You, as This One, once affixed with a label such as Mary Smith or John Jones become ever more differentiated. This One takes on a personality, warts and all. The little quirks of This One are at times laughable and at other times annoying. There is great genius in having billions of This Ones experiencing life in physical form. This gives the soul a chance to work out the kinks, to smooth out the bumps caused by other This Ones’ experiences in this vast, ongoing exchange of energy. Hopefully, This One will do a lot of smoothing out and return to the fold quite a bit smoother this one time.

You, as This One this time, are here to help the God-Energy to grow ever more fine and evolved. You, as This One this time, play a vital role in adding to the whole, for even though you may seem separate, you are merely having a This One experience for a time in the world of time. Do not become so attached to the label of Mary Smith or John Jones that you forget This One great lesson.

Isn't it Fantastic

“A freak of nature.” What does this mean? Something you have never seen before—something that is so very unusual that it is freakish. You often fear that which you do not understand, giving it labels that allow others to interpret it in the group sense without discerning on their own whether or not it is freakish or fantastic. What is a freak of nature to the masses is only so because the masses have not witnessed such a thing.

How often do you buy into the common perceptions? Do you have a gift no other has? A trait or characteristic that sets you apart? Does that make you freakish or fantastic? We merely wish to bring to your awareness how easy it is to adapt the mass consciousness and accept as reality what may not be reality at all.

The Present

The part of you that is spirit only knows one tense:  the present tense.  The part of you that is ego knows two others:  past and future.  This constant drifting in and out of past tense and future tense keeps the body tense, and ego enjoys this game.  Tension maintains separation and maintains ego's perceived power over spirit.  Peace allows you to know oneness.  Peace is found in the present. 

 

Remaining present takes awareness of the thoughts.  Thoughts bounce from past to present to future to past to future to present and so on like a ping pong ball out of control.  Back and forth you go, from worry to pain with moments of equanimity in between, but just enough uncertainty for ego to run rampant.

 

"Be here now" – excellent advice for finding peace.  Grab the ping pong ball and plant it firmly in your lap for a few moments each hour.  Breathe deeply and simply sit with your focus on your breath or on a peaceful phrase.  "What good does that do?" you ask.   Quite a bit, you will find, if you try it.  For just a few moments you are present.  No worry.  No fear of the future.  No pain from painful memories of the past.  You are simply watching the breath like soft clouds that float past, and in that moment you are free of ego's grip—a free spirit—and that is the present all can enjoy.

Waves

Do not grow weary in your quest to heal the world.  The world is in you.  You can give and give and give and oft feel you make no difference.  This is not so.  Every ripple of love you send out is felt.  Soon these ripples become waves.  No one knows the source of the waves, and it matters not.  What matters is that the waves bring healing. 

 

Start a tidal wave of love.  It begins with you.  Do not worry that there is so much to do, so much to overcome.  Simply continue to send out the ripples, knowing that they go on, spreading outward and having a positive effect.

Contrast

The play of light and dark. Contrasts. It is the difference between the two that catches your eye. If all were dark or all were light, there would be no movement, no growth. You would stagnate. Again we exhort you to embrace your challenges. It is through the contrast between what you perceive as goodness and light and that which you perceive as negativity and darkness that you move and grow.

Change is a good thing. Embrace it. You can have and enjoy more light than darkness, but do not eschew the darkness. It is only through the contrast that you know and appreciate the difference.

No Words Necessary

How can a single word bring fellow men to blows?  It is all in the meaning—in the intent.  You wish to enrage another?  You wish to accentuate the seeming separation?  You know the words to use, for all of you have bought into these words as verbal weapons.  You throw them about deliberately, knowing the result they will cause.  You are ready for a fight.  It is part of the human experience.

 

In the spirit world, words are not necessary.  All thought is known and felt immediately through the vibrations one emanates.  We read each other like a book.  There are no secrets.  Love is the pervading vibration.  Because it is felt so freely, one experiences it easily.  Once felt, there is no desire to feel anything less.

 

You can bring a modicum of this experience to your world of words.  Feel the love in your heart, for that is where it begins and resides.  Allow it to well up there before speaking.  Let it build to full force, and then try, just try to hurl an insult.  The two cannot coexist. 

 

Teach your brothers and sisters by example.  You need use no words at all.  Simply be that which you are.

Growth

Barber shops and beauty salons – businesses that will always stay in business.  Hairs grow.  People need help to cut them back and shape them.  You are all interconnected, needing each other.  You grow—yes, a continuation of yesterday's theme.  You may not grow taller.  You may indeed grow larger in girth, but you also grow in your spiritual development. 

 

Whilst growing, you interact with others—all learning.  Like the barber or the beautician, you need these others.  Do you not see that you do not and cannot grow on your own?  There is only so much you can learn by yourself.  It is through interaction and interpersonal exchanges, no matter how challenging, that you grow the fastest.

 

Relish each encounter with another.  Do not pass them by.  Look them in the eye.  Now you know why.  None of you will ever die.

Schooling

A student in school is ever learning.  The learning never stops.  The student looks forward to graduation and then what happens?  They go out into what they call "the real world."  That is when, my friend, the learning truly begins.

 

What is real?  Reality is where you are, and we are here to tell you that the learning never ends, for all of life is a school.  You are the perpetual student.  Is the physical world the real world?  Not really, but it is truly where you put your learning to the test.  The lessons continue ceaselessly.  You may take a vacation and lie on the beach, but you cannot stay there forever.  You get on with your learning, for all of life is about experience and upward growth from having had a variety of experience-lessons.

 

You want things not to change.  You do not want challenges, but this is like repeating kindergarten over and over and over.  You have mastered the basics of breathing.  You can paint with your fingers now.  Now get out there and create a masterpiece with the finest brush.  Accept the challenges.  Appreciate the lessons.  Grow and grow and rise to the highest levels.  You never truly graduate .  You merely continue accumulating brightly colored sashes in a rainbow of colors.

Secrets

You all have your secrets—those thoughts and actions taken that you hold inside you, thinking that if you shared them with others they would think less of you.  Possibly that is true, for others are temporarily human as are you.  There are many who do not realize who you and they are:  spirit beings here to learn to love and not judge.  And so, many judge.  Fearing judgment, you hold onto secrets.  These carry an energy that is harmful.  They burn away and limit growth. 

 

Forgive yourself for that which you hold onto.  Share your secret with your Higher Self.  Release it to your angels.  They judge you not.  They see you as the perfect spirit, here now to experiment with all possibilities.  Release your secrets to them, knowing that they tell you, "It is okay.  Perhaps you could have made a higher choice, but the past no longer exists.  Love yourself now as we do always, and strive to make loving choices now.  We love you exactly as you are."

 

Share all of your secrets in this way with God, and free yourself of unnecessary burdens.  This life is challenging enough without carrying extra luggage.  We will happily carry it for you so that you can walk more lightly and love, love, love fully.

With Confidence

Life is a series of decisions

You must make.

Do I do this or don't I?

Which road should I take?

 

You never know the answers

Until you clear the mind.

And then there in the silence

The purest guidance you will find.

 

Be not afraid to step out boldly.

Be not afraid that you will err.

You can take a leap from off a cliff

And know that help is there.

 

If you had the greatest knowing

You would not fear the fall,

For then you'd feel the wings beneath

To help you rise above it all.

 

Step out today with confidence

Knowing that alone you step out not.

Going forth with God in mind

Is the greatest tool that you have got.

Growth

You go through childhood with such innocence.  The body grows along the way and changes.  It does this by itself.  You need make no effort and you grow taller and fill out.  The body continues to renew itself moment by moment, cell by cell.  Why would the spirit not also continuously grow?  That is life:  constant growth.  You as spirit are also constantly changing.  That is why you exist. 

 

The body goes from small to large.  The spirit increases in vibration.  The higher vibration reflects a more loving soul, for love is the highest of all vibrations.  You stunt your physical growth by poisoning the body with toxic substances and lack of exercise.  You stunt the spirit body by absorbing and giving off the lower vibrations of judgment, hate, and anger. 

 

How tall do you wish to grow?  Ingest a daily diet of loving kindness.  Shower it freely upon others and bring full health to the human-spirit body.  It is a team effort.

Look Up

Note from Suzanne: We are leaving today on our five month, 10,000 mile book and documentary tour. There may be days when lack of an internet signal does not allow me to post Sanaya's message first thing in the morning. Know that I will continue to sit in meditation and connect with Sanaya each morning, and that I will post the messages as soon as possible. If you would like to follow our trip, Ty will be posting updates to our new trip blog (Click here). If you enter your email address in the space in the right column of the blog that says "follow by email" (also available to the right on this blog) you will receive an email each time there's a new post without having to check for updates. See you on the road! Much love, Suzanne

Lift up your eyes to the sky.  In so doing, you are activating the highest energy centers within the energy body.  This physical act of looking upward is like a light switch.  You need not open the physical eyes to do this.  Merely shift your internal vision to the crown and the location of the third eye.  There is an actual energetic shift that takes place.  After making this shift, say your prayers.  Make your requests and give your thanks from this spot—the God Spot. 

 

Yes, God is in all places at all times, but with the consciousness deliberately shifted and focused in the location of the highest frequencies, it is far easier to attune to the higher energies which are always around you.

 

Yes, look up to connect with God, but not outside of yourself.  Go within, where God resides—within all things … within you … for you are That.

Symbiosis

Symbiotic relationships:  those in which each contributes to the welfare of another.  Do you not realize this is why you are here?  To contribute to the advancement of the whole.  Yes, you do this by improving the self, through self-improvement practices and being the presence of love.  But no man is an island.  You are your fellow man at the core.  You can place yourself in another's shoes at any time and feel his or her pain or joy, can you not?  If you cannot, then begin there to love yourself.  When you have sufficiently developed the ability to experience love, then share it liberally with your brothers and sisters.  As it flows forth freely from you, it comes back to you.  Indeed, what goes around comes around, for it is a closed loop of love, not an open circuit where the love that flows around dissipates. 

 

It is a symbiotic world.  Add unto the whole by doing your part.  Love fully. Give freely, and thrive.

Bird's Eye View

Why is trust such a hard thing for you to learn?  Because in the past you have trusted and have suffered a perceived hurt or things did not go as you planned.  "You" is the important term in this case.  There is a little "you" and a "You" that is far grander.  Whilst focused on the human side, when things do not go as you intended, you see this as failure. What does You see?  The greater Self sees the big picture. 

 

Whilst standing in the puzzle, you only see the adjacent pieces.  Step above the card table, and now you see the entire picture as it comes together.  "Aha!" you say.  "Now I see!"  I wanted to place a certain shaped piece next to me, but it fits far better over there.  The best piece for this situation is lying yonder."

 

Do you get it now?  That which you considered failure is only so when seen with limited vision.  Trust that all is in perfect order always, and a door that closes or fails to open is doing exactly what it should for the greater good.

 

Relax and trust.  Surrender and allow.  Oh, such peace that comes when you rise above the smaller self!

More Than Enough

There is more than enough love to go around.  It is a fountain that flows from an endless Source.  This fountain wells up within you and wants nothing more than to flow freely, to be expressed, and flow forth in every thought, word, and deed, for you are, IN DEED, the human source of love.

 

God is the Source of all love, and you are the physical manifestation of That.  And so, we ask you:  How could you be anything less than loving?  It is only when your own thoughts stop the flow.  You control the faucet.  How to open it?  Realize that Love is who you are in spite of what any other may have told you.  You are Love at the core, here because you are loved. 

 

You are, indeed, the chosen one—chosen to have this human experience and to express your true nature.  Go forth today and in your deeds, and in your words, and in your thoughts be naught but love.  Oh, what a beautiful day awaits you now!

Pollyanna

The Pollyanna Show.  A good title for a program that all should take part in daily.  What is a Pollyanna, but one who sees all clouds as white, one who greets all with a loving smile, one who is eternally joyful and full of peace.  Such a one is viewed as naïve in your world—innocent to the point of being laughable.  And so, you shy away from being the Pollyanna who sees only goodness and light.  Instead, you buy into the less than good things you see about you.  You do not realize that in allowing yourself to see the "evil," you are perpetuating it.  "Oh!" You recoil.  "I cannot take responsibility for another's actions!"  But oh, my children, you can.  You are all one and the same energy.  What you send out comes back to you. 

 

See and be only goodness, and that is your experience.  Believe that aught but goodness exists and those thoughts allow it to perpetuate.  Consciousness creates reality.  By buying into the mass consciousness, you are allowing mass destruction to occur.  We apologize if this sounds harsh.  Of course you cannot personally take responsibility for those things that happen halfway across the world.

 

Or can you?

 

You, as an individual focus of Love are part of the whole.  One ray of light can brighten a room.  Billions of rays can banish the darkness forever.  Yes, of course, you cannot heal the world, but you can bring in the light instead of perpetuating the darkness.  Be a Pollyanna and participate in The Pollyanna Show.  It is far better than the alternatives.  Heal your world one soul at a time.  Begin with your own soul by spreading light instead of acknowledging the darkness.

Discipline

Note from Suzanne:  I recently received an email from a gentleman who expressed excitement at his new interest in meditation.  I introduced him to the e-guide to meditation on my website.  He wrote back that he had purchased "Meditation for Dummies," and that he found the opening paragraph quite encouraging:  "Don't make the mistake of turning your meditation practice into another urgent item on your list of things to do. Use it instead, as a welcome oasis from doing, an opportunity to be without strategy or agenda."   He wrote, "Whew, I like that approach." 

 

That got me to thinking about the session on meditation I had just taught this past weekend.  My S.O.A.R! workshop is all about transforming your life to allow your spirit to truly soar.  I personally feel that meditation is the key to self-realization and self-transformation.  When I read the above quote, I agreed that meditation is a welcome oasis.  I then wondered if I was being too rigid in encouraging workshop participants to make meditation a priority and to find the discipline to sit in the silence daily. 

 

This morning during my own meditation, I found myself contemplating this issue.  Without even asking the question deliberately to Sanaya, I heard, "Discipline is a distraction …"  Then the words began to flow, and I realized with a smile that once again, Spirit was sending me a poem.  Enjoy the message, and have a love-filled day …

 

Some humans are very rigid in their ways;

Others quite relaxed.

As if by every effort

Their entire being it is taxed.

 

Which requires greater effort:

Moving round or sitting still?

That depends if it is difficult

To give silence to your will.

 

Some think they must keep moving

To have a great effect.

And so they fail to take the time

Upon the silence to reflect.

 

It's a different sort of discipline

To sit and watch paint dry,

To contemplate the stillness,

To sit and wonder, "Why?"

 

Yes, of course, you are quite busy.

Yes, you have so much to do.

And one more thing tacked on your list

Will tax you through and through.

 

Make the time to still your mind

Even if you feel quite stressed.

This addition to your busy life

You will be glad that you addressed.

 

For with this small investment

You will reap such great rewards.

By sitting in the silence

Your every goal you'll move towards.

Without Envy

Jealousy is a human trait.  There is no envy amongst those who know that all contribute to the whole.  If another seems to have more happiness than you, or perhaps more toys, send them love.  That which you send out comes back to you.  Suddenly, you have happiness, and the desire for toys and self-importance goes away.   

 

In sending love, you have activated the very Force which gives you life.  Your spirit grows and expands, and you understand that all are here to learn to love.  With such an understanding, there is no envy, only rejoicing that you are all in this together.  Envy disappears as you understand that you all need all the help you can get in helping others to see the Light.

Go Ahead and Play

Play with your toys for now.  Enjoy your baubles.  They are all gifts.  Yes, they bring you joy, and is not the experience of joy part of the reasons you experience life as a human?  We only caution you to keep in mind that toys are merely that:  playthings.  All "things" are temporary.  You are eternally spirit.  The toys and baubles will fade away and most certainly will fade in importance the more you express your true spirit-nature.

 

So, go ahead and play, but know that that part of you which is eternal needs no-thing at all.  Spirit is.  In that knowingness, be joyful, and simply BE.

Steps

In this lifetime you will travel many miles, but the most important step is the one you take right now, for each builds upon the other. Your steps lead you to a place you cannot anticipate now, for you have not the big picture. Worry not. When each step is fully guided and not taken haphazardly, the path unfolds beautifully.

Each step behind you has led you to this moment. Are you unhappy with this moment? Change your course. Do you not know which direction to turn? Ask. Attune. Be receptive to the guidance that is always there. Again we say, worry not about 100 steps from now. If you attune now to the Guidance within, each step will be perfectly placed.

What Ails You?

You get a diagnosis followed by a prognosis. This comes from one you respect, and so you believe it. Is not the other human, just as you are? You put your full faith in them because you see and hear them. They have a special education. You may not. Regardless, regard them not as God. Yes, you are all facets of God, but whilst wearing your human suits you can and oft do have Self-limiting thoughts. Has the one making the diagnosis and providing the prognosis tuned in to Spirit? Have you? Have you any idea how powerful is this aspect of yourself? This aspect of yourself never ails and never fails.

If you were able to set aside your human beliefs, you would not ail at all. Fully knowing yourself as a spirit-being, you can create so-called miracles. Be wary of the pronouncement of humans who do not know the truths of the Spirit. Work in concert with Spirit to cure all ills.

Cords

Dearest children, you are so very loved. Love does go, indeed, beyond words. The greatest love cannot be expressed in words, only felt. And this is the beauty of love. You need no words to express it, no hands to pass it along. You need only the mind to move it. Concentrate on the heart area, the locus of love. Allow it to build until it threatens to burst from your chest, and then choose a target. This may be one who stands before you. It may be one or a group out of sight, or it may be all of God’s creation. Holding that recipient in mind, send it forth, your love. Be fairly warned, however, that this love you send out never leaves you completely. Once you send your love with intention, the connection remains like a cord.

Can you imagine if you send your love to the world with intention on a regular basis? Well, then, you could not help but feel the oneness, could you?

Think about that.

What's Mine is Yours

Share your toys. Do not draw them closely around you and protect them with your arms. “Mine, all mine!” Such an attitude is learned from childhood, but you are no longer a child. You have many toys now, many gifts. Why do you feel the need to protect them and not allow others their enjoyment? It is because you have been raised to think, “This is mine, and if I share it with you I will have nothing.”

Try an experiment, will you? Give away your toys. Loan them for a while to others and you will see how you are actually enriched by doing so. You will no longer need accumulate anything, for in giving away what gives you the greatest joy, you will have found it.
