Sweetener

Love is the syrup on the pancakes, the icing on the cake.  Silly analogies, but what are words, but literary paints.  Allow us to dip our brush in the pot of paint and color in your world with words descriptive enough to change your way of thinking.

See the world anew in each moment.  Why do you have this?  Why do you do that?  Why do you put syrup on your pancakes?  To add sweetness, to take a good thing and make it even more enjoyable. 

You can add love to anything—good or less than good—and make it more palatable, more enjoyable.  Slather it on thickly or simply drizzle it in droplets.  Play with it like your finger paints, and have fun with what you create, but do not hold back.  Paint your world, sweeten your world with colors, with words, with thoughts, using the greatest medium of creation … love … and then watch your world take on new levels of meaning, harmony, and sweetness.

Focus

Distraction abounds in your world.  You are contending with millions of egos, and all of them clamoring for attention, most especially your own.  Where will you put your focus?  On what you feel at the moment can best serve you, when you are coming from ego.

What happens if you switch your allegiance to spirit?  Your attention is drawn elsewhere.  Yes, colors do seem brighter when ego is put aside, but you also notice how many others could most certainly glow a bit brighter. 

Make it your intention to focus less on individuality, and more on the Whole.  In so doing, you will see life in a (w)holy new light.

Learning to Trust

Write down the words you hear when the Voice inside you whispers.  What does it tell you to do?  How does it advise you?  What are its teachings?  Do they make sense?  Do they speak of love?  How do they feel in your heart?  Are you making them up?  Is it your imagination?  Can these words be trusted?  There is only one way to know.  When the words feel right and will bring you no harm, act on them immediately and repeatedly.  Soon you will learn discernment and trust.  As your life takes a turn for the better and flows with a rhythm and smoothness never before experienced, you will ask yourself, “Why did I not listen sooner?” 

Write down the words.  It is not your imagination.  How could Spirit speak to you, if not through the imagination?  Trust us.  We are here and we are waiting to be heard.

Look in the Mirror

Worship.  You know this word as one you save for your deities as well as for those you love dearly.  You hold them higher than yourself in not only great esteem but a bit of awe.  Do you know that no one being is better than another, whether in human form or not, for all are of the same Source Energy. 

If you are to worship anyone or anything, then worship yourself.  Ah, immediately ego puffs us and smiles, but it is not this aspect of the being to which we refer.  Worship the fact that you exist, that you live, that you are aware.  This is the eternal self that exists in all of nature.  You are Love, itself, walking about in a body for a while, but with or without the external covering you are worthy of worship.  You need do nothing to earn it, but the more you can express and be the presence of Love, the more you will understand your true, innate value.

We love you so.  Can you do the same for yourself?

Not So Serious

Fun is the word of the day.  Can you relax and let down a bit?  It is not necessary to take this life and its many experiences so seriously.  Do you not enjoy playing?  Do you not enjoy a bit of fun?  Can you not see how the Mind that created this dream in which you are a part would far rather have a bit of fun than a melodrama?

This dream on the cosmic scale has already played out.  So if you can relax and enjoy yourself, you will have a far easier go of it.  Some of you will bristle at this suggestion, for you are mired in misery.  Know that part of this life experience is playing, experimenting with how you choose to react to life events.

We do not wish to downplay your challenges, but begin now and bit by bit try to see your life as play.  Insert fun wherever and whenever you can.  All is temporary.  All will pass.  Do not take any of it too seriously.  Smile more often.

Yet another recipe for peace.

From Suzanne:  Ty and I are just finishing up a special trip to Sedona for a presentation.  While here, I was given near-miraculous evidence that Sanaya/Spirit truly knows exactly what is going on in our lives.  Life is so amazing!  To see some of the beautiful scenery we enjoyed, please check out the last two entries in Ty's blog: www.LifeAsTySeesIt.com.  Love and blessings to you all.

Source Energy

Love makes the world go 'round.  Do you not have a song like that?  And it is true.  Naught happens in your world, including the rotation of your earth, without Love behind it.  Now, when you think of those things that are less than loving, look to the human mind and the choices ego makes.  These are the result of free will--a gift from God.  Are not at times gifts squandered?  But if another can learn from the misuse of love, then all was not completely lost.

Look to the cause of all you see and there you will find Love, for Love is the Source of all, and Source Energy is Love.  You are That.  You have Love, or Source Energy, as your cause, and that alone is cause for celebration.

Magic

Magic ... it enthralls you as a child, for you have no explanation for the unexpected and inexplicable results.  As an adult, you try your best to figure out the trick, sure that there is deception.  Deception is a perception.  Magic is nothing more than the manipulation of thoughts and deeds for a specific outcome.  And so, there can be black magic and white magic, dependent upon the desired outcome and the motive behind the so-called trick.

Always we encourage you to use your thoughts for the greatest good, the highest outcome.  When you harness the magical powers of consciousness, you become a powerful magician.  Use this power always to bring more love into your world.

The First and Only Cause

All things have a cause, for all that you experience is an effect.  Cause and effect .. the two constants. What is the First Cause of all that is?  It is Love.  Love is the intent behind the first thought, the first word, the first action.  All else has flowed from that Love-Cause.

If, somewhere along the way in your experience of Love in Expression, you have not experienced love or are currently experiencing less than love, go back to the very beginning of time, before your world existed.  Go back and ask to experience what it felt like to birth a universe.  You would be overcome by the vibration, by the explosion of such energy.

Those around you and those who came before you were given free will.  This may have been abused. But all is going according to plan, for in forgetting the First Cause and getting lost, you must find your way back home.  Anything less than being the Presence of Love, your First Cause, is illusion.  Do not get lost in the illusion.

Travel back in time and merge in your mind with the Mind that had love as its intention.  In this remembrance of your true Home and your true Cause, you will awaken love within yourself.  Now express that love and see what effects you cause.

Here and Now

Begin right where you are.  Begin right now.  That is all you ever have:  the here and now.  Create.  Create anew from this very here and now.  How can you be dissatisfied if there is only here and now? 

The here and now is a pulsating point of pure potential.  Step into it and launch your creativity.  Expand, expand outward into the universe of all possibilities.  Grab a star and ride it.  Flash about the sky in a meteoric streak, and then return to the starting point—the center—the here and now.

There.  You have just experienced creation.  Now do it again.  This is Life at its best.

New Beginnings

New beginnings.  Each moment of your life is one.  You may as well celebrate this moment, for it represents a fresh start.  If you find yourself grieving, you are focusing on the past.  “No.  This moment now is unbearable!” you cry, and that is because your perceptions are based upon a belief system focused around past experiences.

What if you had been dropped into an alien world and new nothing of this culture?  You could only rely upon what you know.  So, what do you know?  “I AM.  I exist.  I feel drawn to connect.  What is this magnetic pull that causes me to want to communicate and interact?”  It is your true nature calling.  Love is the connective tissue between all of you.  It is the savior within you when you feel that all is lost and you are lost. 

Save yourself in times of trouble and save yourself a lot of trouble by dwelling not in the past.  Peer not into the future, and see the present moment through new eyes:  through the eyes of love.

True Alchemy

Alchemy … when you transmute a lesser metal into gold.  How would you like to be an alchemist?  We are about to gift to you the greatest tool of the alchemist:  compassion.  The lesser metals in this case are represented by such emotions as anger, judgment, and frustration.  When you as the alchemist feel these emotions within yourself—for you see them in another—pull out the compassion.  Spread it about liberally toward the other and toward yourself.  You would not be witness to anger, judgment, or frustration if love were fully present in your conscious awareness.  It is always fully present, but must at times be transmuted from the lower vibrations.

Love is the gold you seek, my friend.  When anger, judgment, frustration, and the like—the lesser metals—are present, transmute them into love—the gold—with the tool of compassion.  Then, alchemy is possible.  Now you hold the key.  Go mine some gold.

Note from Suzanne:  On Saturday, February 16th, I held a session with Sanaya for the New Age Thinkers of Homosassa, Florida.  For a full transcript and audio recording of the session visit the "Channeling" page of my website and see the block in the upper right section of the page.  I have also re-posted all past videos of sessions with Sanaya on You Tube.  (Visit www.YouTube.com and enter "Suzanne Giesemann" in the search box). Love and blessings to all.

Lightening the Burden

Responsibility … a feeling that you owe another something.  At times it can feel like a burden, at others a blessing.  Ego feels only responsibility to the self.  Spirit knows that there is only one Self and that in serving others you are serving the greater Self.  From this vantage point, responsibility is seen as a blessing.  The burden is lightened.

Service to others.  Can there ever be too much?  In the human sense, yes, of course, for yours is a finite world with limits of time and physical abilities, so do not exhaust yourself.  As always, ask to be guided and simply serve from the heart in all that you do.  Listen to the heart if the burden seems too heavy.  The heart will always lead the way.

Playing God

Not everyone does what you want them to do when you want them to do it.  You are not a puppeteer, yet you humans believe others should do as you wish.  It is quite silly when you think about it, is it not?  This would be what you call “playing God” if you could direct the thoughts and actions of others, would it not?  But think about it:  Do you even allow God to play God with you? 

Have you surrendered lately and allowed God to take over your thoughts and actions?  Yes, that is a level of surrender few are willing to take, for it takes a level of trust that strikes fear into ego’s heart.

Trust us:  The Force that animates you has quite a bit of experience.  You can trust It implicitly.  You might even come out a bit ahead of the game in a better position than you currently find yourself if you let your Higher Consciousness call the shots.

Freedom

Goatherds keep their flocks together, carefully standing guard.  But what happens when one of the flock wanders off?  It has a wondrous adventure.  Yes, there may be danger outside the flock, but there is also stagnation within.  The one who steps outside the group may or may not return.  If he does, he brings back what he has learned.  Those in the greater group may or may not learn from him.  They may feel threatened, for they sense a change.  The goatherd is upset, for one of his followers did not obey.  He lost control.  As for the goat, he has tasted freedom.  He is changed forever.  He knows there is so much more possibility beyond the confines of his flock.  And now he may or may not be able to wander away again physically, but in his mind he is free, which is what you are at all times.

Models

Why do you choose role models?  Because the imagination has not received enough practice.  If you were better versed at imagining, you would create in your mind the perfect you.  What would that look like?  Depending on how awakened your soul is, the image would vary.  Perhaps it is garbed in fancy clothes with many jewels, surrounded by admirers of the opposite sex and living in a luxurious abode.  You have plenty of role models for this.  Perhaps your image would merely wear a robe and live in a humble abode, but this image would exude loving kindness, compassion, forgiveness, and peace.  Such role models are not as frequently found, but in heaven they abound.

Be that which you seek.  Act the role of your greatest role model, real or imagined, and soon others will be looking to you to serve as their guide.  When true love you radiate, from others’ gaze you cannot hide.

Innate

Note from Suzanne:  Yesterday Ty and I went with our friends Joyce and Sharon to an elephant sanctuary.  In answer to a question about elephants’ personality, one of the employees stated that elephants don’t feel love, nor do any animals; that such a belief is the projection of humans.  This answer hit me with physical force.  Sanaya addressed the issue in meditation this morning without me even asking the question …

Do not ever believe that animals feel no love or that love is merely a human projection onto animals.  Love is the common essence of all things.  What is the use of life without love?  Why procreate without love?  What is the survival instinct, but the innate desire to continue in existence, and why continue at all?  To experience Love. 

If you as a human have not known true spiritual love, this lack of love-awareness you would project onto other beings.

You cannot hold a puppy or a kitten without feeling love.  Yes, this stirs the maternal and paternal instincts in you, but know that the animal feels pleasure as well.  They have no words for this vibration, this resonance.  They merely know it as pleasurable, desirable, and worthy of seeking out, for it is the true nature of all beings.

No being can survive without Love, but worry not, for love does not come from the outside.  It is Love that sustains life, itself.  The survival instinct kicks in when physical life is threatened so that Love may continue to experience physical life, but Love never dies. 

Look around you today at the infinite variety of Life and see Love in expression.  Then look in a mirror and do not stop gazing until you see it there as well.

From Suzanne:   I had the opportunity to sit atop Luke, an amazing Asian elephant with crossed tusks, and feel the love pulsating beneath that soft, wrinkly skin.  Check out the photo of this awesome moment on Ty’s blog entry “Prancing with Pachyderms” for February 12^th  at www.LifeAsTySeesIt.com.

Labels

Picture a pile of sawdust.  It consists of bits and flecks that barely resemble the original wood.  The texture is different; the feel soft vs. hard.  It even has a different scent, released when the board was broken down into its finer components. 

You, as spirit, are like the sawdust and the board – different aspects of the same thing … at times strong and firm, at others, soft and easily blown about.  It is all “wood,” just as you are all spirit.  You have many facets:  hard and soft, fine as sawdust or rigid as a board, but all useful in some way.

What form will you take today?  How will you experience Life this day?  You are given one name and are expected to act a certain way, but you have a multitude of ways of expressing the self.  Expand your choices.  Be not limited by labels or appearances.  It is all spirit, and spirit wishes only to express itself fully through you.

... for Me

Never give up on your dreams.  It is your persistent attention and belief in your dreams which turns them into reality.  Your thoughts create matter, and so it matters greatly what you dream.  What you deem possible becomes probable.  From the sea of possibilities you pluck the one which speaks to you the loudest and make it real.

Never give up.  Never stop dreaming.  It is the dreamers who ride upon the clouds, high above those who plod along mired in the belief that life must be a struggle.  Show them all that dreams are possible.  Dream on, and as each dream becomes reality, dream another dream for Me.

Transcript of Session with Sanaya

Click here for a transcript of a large group session held with Sanaya on February 10th, 2013.  Some mind-expanding information here, for sure, about the oversoul!  I've included a couple of photos.  The one of the Flower of Life when I did a search for this after transcribing the session blew me away, as it shows wispy smoke, just like Sanaya spoke of!  This is the first time I have heard this analogy using smoke.  I have never read it anywhere before.  Very cool, Sanaya!

Feel free to share this as you like.  With much love,  Suzanne

The Real Deal

What does it mean when something is genuine?  It is the real deal, not a fake or an imposter.  You like genuine things.  They represent value, solidity, trust, and longevity.

Spirit is genuine.  It is made of love, the greatest thing of value that exists.  Ego is not genuine.  Have you not heard people exclaim, “Oh, he or she is so fake!”?  Spirit knows when one is coming from love, aligned with the spirit aspect, or coming from ego. 

Be genuine in your thoughts and actions today and every day.  It feels good to you and to others, for only love is real.  Only love is lasting.  It is the real deal.

Lucid

Are you enjoying this dream you call your life, or is it a nightmare?  Do you not yet understand that you call the shots?  Your life may seem out of control at times, but that is because you have forgotten who controls the controls.  Your very choices are so very important.  How much drama do you want?  Always there will be some drama, or a very dull dream it would be, with no learning, but there need not be struggle and strife to the point of misery.

Have you yet experienced a lucid dream in which you realize you are dreaming, yet you do not wish to wake up?  In such a dream you remain in a dream state and control the left turns and the right, the ups and downs.  Hear us now:  You are living a dream, only you do not realize this.  Become lucid.   Stay in the dream, for it is not time to move on to the next yet, but take control of the turns and the ups and downs.  You do this solely with the mind … with your thoughts.  Leave the outcome not in the hands of the other dreamers.  Dream on, but peacefully so, and enjoy every moment.

Like Riding a Bicycle

Balance is a precarious position to maintain.  Back and forth you wobble from one side to another.  It takes practice to find that point of balance, does it not?  Think of learning to ride a bicycle.  At first it is foreign and you topple repeatedly.  Once you have experienced balance, however, you can return to that state of equilibrium at will and by the will.  Will you fall?  Only if you willingly lean to one side or the other or are knocked there by some outside force.

Life is all about finding that perfect point.  You know it when you find it.  Outside forces may try to knock you from that place of peace, but by will you can return, for balance is your natural state.  It is like riding a bicycle.  You have been there before.  You know what it feels like.  Now pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and return to that peaceful state of balance.

This Thing Called Fear

What if you knew you could not die?  What would you do differently?  What if you knew you could feel no pain?  How differently would you act?  The thought of experiencing pain causes you to hold back, to withdraw from living fully.  The thought of dying could keep you holed up in your house forever, but this is unrealistic.  And so, you go about, out in the world always with a bit of fear, always with the lingering threat, “I could die at any moment.” 

Do you see how these words bring fear to the heart?  We do not wish to frighten you, only to point out how your thoughts hold you prisoner in your home.

Your body is not your true home.  You do not die.  You are a temporary visitor in this most challenging of environments.  Would you truly like to face such challenges forever?  You do not.  Do not be in a hurry to leave them, but recognize the paradox.   Your human life is full of challenges, but it is all you think you know, and so you cling to it … with fear.

Fear not!  When you fully trust that a greater Home exists now within you, fully accessible at all times, and that what is truly real—you, as spirit—cannot be hurt and cannot die, then the one thing that causes your current challenges … fear … disappears.

Cast out the fear.  Love fully.  Believe in Spirit.  Believe what others fear to believe:  You and the Source are one.  In this knowingness, fear cannot survive.  Cast out the darkness and let the Light lead the way for all of your days here and hereafter. 

And so it is.

Part of the Whole

You become discouraged when you see how many people exist and how few of them seem to think as you do, love as you do.  Is it all in vain, you wonder?  And now we ask you to think of the human body yet again as an example.  Trillions of cells run around in the body, some bumping into each other, others never meeting, yet each of them playing a role.  Yes, the body could live without you, but you exist for a reason:  to add to the whole.

As above, so below.  Do not concern yourself with the health of every other cell.  There is one Consciousness overseeing all of that.  Concern yourself with your own health, your spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical health.  May it be as strong as possible, as balanced as possible.  In so doing, you bring health to the whole in your own way. 

You may not feel the effects of this now, but do not concern yourself with this.  There is a reason that you care whilst others may not.  Simply trust and soldier on.  All is well as long as you “are,: and trust this as well:  You will always “be.”

Gone Fishin'

Forgetfulness.  Where do the memories go?  Are they filed away in a computer?  Of sorts, but they are not solid.  Thoughts are, indeed, things.  They each have their own frequency, and energy cannot be destroyed.  Every thought you have ever had exists as a discreet frequency and is retrievable, but not from the brain … from the sea of consciousness you are swimming in. 

Have you forgotten something?  Using the power of consciousness, set the intention to retrieve it from the sea.  In this way you have cast the hook.  Now, just as in fishing, you need not do anything else.  Further casting about merely muddies the waters.  Sit still and wait, the bait is set.  You may actually leave the line and get on with something else.  Because you cast the line with the intention of catching that one specific memory, you will know when it is on the line and can reel in the prize. 

Fascinating, is it not?  But not magic.  Merely the truth of consciousness.

A Beautiful Message For You From Sanaya

Note from Suzanne.  Sanaya spoke to our heart circle group last night.  I transcribed the last portion to post here, because the words are too beautiful not to share.  Click here to open the file and enjoy.  May you feel the love that surrounds you always.

Tear Down That Wall!

Defenses.  You build them quite solid.  Most of all you erect them around the heart.  “I am not safe,” you feel and so you climb inside the protective barrier you have erected, and it is quite real.  Nothing can get in to hurt you, you believe, but nothing can get out as well.  There you sit, locked in a world of your making.  But the world is not still.  Motion is the norm. 

Life flows.  Love flows, and when you sit behind your defenses, you stagnate.  There is no growth.  You must be brave if you wish to grow.  You must take down the barriers and expose yourself.  Yes, bravery results in vulnerability as you expose the tender heart, but in so doing you allow the flow of love in both directions, and in this there is healing.

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”  Do you remember this?  And the wall came down and there was unity.  Child of God, tear down this wall!  Experience the unity—your unity with All That Is, with all that you are … with Love itself.

Choices Yet Again

It is fear that keeps you stuck.  You are unhappy in a situation yet you are comfortable there.  You would rather remain unhappy than to make choices which will undoubtedly create change.  Do you not know that all in the human life changes constantly?  You can sit back clinging to the illusion of security or create a far greater security by taking charge of creating your future. 

If you are unhappy, there is a reason for this.  Your unhappiness is a sign that better choices can be made.  It is your choices which have created your situation.  Ah.  Now you balk.  And now you blame your situation on others.  There is only one Mind, one Consciousness interacting with Itself.  You control what is projected onto your screen.  Will you remain unhappy, or will you make choices, asking for guidance, if you will, and create a more peaceful “now”?

Motive

“Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”  Have you not felt this from others at times?  Are there not times when each ego is wrapped up in itself, to the exclusion of all others?  That is the nature of ego.  It is when ego is overcome by the spirit that true caring occurs.  There may be the appearance of caring, but that can be ego in disguise.  Spirit recognizes spirit.  You know when an action is taken in the spirit of love versus the spirit of self-aggrandizement.

Where there is true spiritual love, there is true selflessness.  Examine your own motives.  Do you act in order to get love or because love is your very nature and cannot help but be expressed?

Spirit versus ego.  May ego be gone with the wind, ephemeral as it is, only to be replaced with the permanence of true spiritual love, which knows only oneness.

Coming Out

Oh, how you lie to each other.  You go out in public and put a smile on your face as if nothing is wrong.  You hide behind that mask, for that is what you have been taught to do.  Inside your heart is breaking.  Inside is great turmoil, yet that is where you keep it.  Do you not know that you and another you encounter may be encountering the self-same challenges?  Yet you think you must put up a brave front and face your challenges alone.

From whence comes this silly notion that you must be perfect and perfectly happy?  Yes, all is in perfect order always.  Yes, you create your own happiness with your thoughts, but have we not advised you to ask for assistance?  Have we not told you that you are never alone?  You have unseen helpers, but we send you many helpers in the physical world as well.  Let down your guard a bit and allow your helpers to ask, “Is there something wrong?  How may I help? 

Life is full of challenges.  They come so that you will learn to make choices in favor of love.  This begins with loving yourself enough to not hide behind a mask. 

Blessings be upon you.
