Expectations

Note from Suzanne:  Yesterday I gave a reading in which nothing came through accurately.  I finally had to call it off, at which point my client said, “Well, I didn’t expect to hear anything anyway," and then went on to explain the reasons why (with which they had walked in the door).  I awoke this morning with Sanaya saying a phrase we have all heard before:  “You create your own reality.”  I sat in meditation and asked how a client’s thoughts could override my own efforts …

Skeptics as a whole are a bit of a negative bunch, are they not?  Mind you, it is good to be wary at times when dealing with those who are more human-oriented than spirit-oriented, but there is a difference between being wary and being close-minded.  When you say to yourself, “This is probably not going to happen,” you set up a frequency in your field that virtually guarantees you will achieve the result you expect. 

Think of those you know who always see the glass as half empty.  And so it is.  Consciousness creates reality.  It can be no other way.  Have you achieved the goals, the life, the reality you desire?  How do you see the glass?  Do not take this expression for granted.  Examine it.  You have a glass with liquid to the half-way mark.  Do you say, “Oh, woe is me!  It is already half gone!” or do you say, “Oh, look at that!  There is still half left!”?  Each carries quite a different vibration.  What created that vibration that was felt in you as an emotion?  Consciousness, plain and simple.  You create your emotions with your consciousness.  You also create your external reality. 

The glass with the liquid at the halfway point is completely neutral.  How do you wish to feel today:  empty or full-filled?  Even if your cup has love at the halfway point, recognize it as such and it will fill the rest of the way by way of your choosing. 

Yes, you do indeed create your own reality, to the point of cancelling out others’ efforts in the physical world, even when they might serve your own interests.  Do you see how very powerful and how very important are your thoughts?

Spirited

What if you truly were only human and not a spirit-being in human form?  What if Spirit did not guide you?  Why, then you would all be like your robots your see in your science fiction movies:  mechanistic beings devoid of emotion.  You would go about your business interacting and carrying out your functions.  When one robot ceased functioning due to an irreparable malfunction, you would place it in the recycle bin and be done with it.  End of story.

But instead, you love.  Because of this, you have elaborate ceremonies when the body no longer functions and yes, you grieve.  You feel loss because you love.  You grieve because you are not a robot; you have a heart.  You have a human heart that pumps blood through the body in robotic, mechanistic function, but you have an emotional heart, for you are spirit, and love is your very essence.

Spirit is recycled, for life is eternal.  Love is never-ending.  Grief and loss turn into rebirth and rejoicing.  Rejoice that you feel your emotions.  Appreciate all of them.  Were it not for the joy and the pain, there would be no life.

A Reason to Pray

Yes, celebrate the successes:  The operation went well.  The talk was well received.  The family visit passed without incident.  You arrived safely at your destination.  The prayers worked well.  Now you can relax.  Yes, relax, but do not stop praying.  We say this not to indicate that once again you need worry.  We say it as a reminder that the prayers kept you in a state of communion with Higher Consciousness.  Why should you go to this state only when you need a favor?

In a world of duality such as you inhabit whilst in human form, there will always be ups and downs.  That is the nature of your reality.  Do not pray only for the good times and only in the bad times.  Pray ceaselessly prayers of gratitude for the very communion you enjoy whilst in prayer.  It is this communion which sustains you.  Sustain the connection, and there you will find the strength, courage, and peace of mind to travel well from moment to moment.

Understanding

What if we spoke to you in foreign words?  Would you understand us?  Most likely not, for the words would be interpreted by the brain, a most excellent computer, but limited.  What if we spoke to you in emotions?  What then?  You would understand the feelings quite well, for emotions are universal. 

You speak the same language of each of your brothers and sisters.  You all understand love and loss, joy and sorrow.  Your compassion grows in proportion to the balanced amount of each you have experienced. 

Speak the language of love today to one who is lost.  Help to bring them back to the center where they can feel again the higher vibrations.  You are all alike inside, at the level of spirit, where you eternally reside.  There you are all brothers, regardless of the words that roll off the tongue.

For One Whole Day

Put your worries in a box and put a lid on them.  Close the lid tightly.  Trust us, they will squawk a bit, but do not re-open the box, no matter how uncomfortable you are without them.  They will be fine in there all together, for worries thrive on each other.

Now, what will you do now that you are worry free?  First of all, buy yourself some heavier shoes, for you will want to float free of the ground without that extra weight.  Next, prepare your explanation, for everyone will want to know why you look so carefree.

At the end of the day, take your worries out of the box and put them back in place.  What?  You no longer wish to carry them around after a day of freedom?  All right, then.  Leave them in the box.  It is your choice.  It has always been your choice.  Now go get a good night’s rest, knowing you never really needed those worries anyway.  You have gotten along quite well without them, and the world went on.

TAD

Note from Suzanne:  I gave today’s message the title after typing Sanaya’s words.  “TAD” is a military term meaning “Temporary Additional Duty” -- a term given when you are sent away from your normal duty station to perform some mission.  Sanaya shows good humor this morning along with the important message.  Enjoy, and love to all …

You are on assignment—a temporary duty is this journey you call your life.  It is but a period in time from an existence where time is irrelevant, and for a time you enjoy interacting with others in the same predicament.  You have your orders.  Carry them out to the best of your ability.  The problem is that most of you after you came through the birth canal forgot why you did so.  No matter.  It will all come back to you in time.  You pick up bits and pieces of it along the way.  For now, do the best you can.  Get along well with your fellow sojourners.  The more you send them love and compassion, the more you remember.  In the meantime, we are watching over you as you go about your assignment.  There is no way that you can fail.

Amazing

You are amazing … just the way you are.  Yes, these are lyrics to a song you know, but they bear repeating for all who will read these words.  You sing your songs over and over, but do you tell yourself the words you most often need to hear over and over?  Not enough, my friend.

You are amazing … an amazing child of God.  Do not worry so much about self-improvement.  Sit back, look in a mirror and see the amazing things we see in you.  See through the eyes of God, not the ego who cringes at the mere thought of looking in a mirror. 

Your every cell is amazing.  Your body is amazing.  Your mind is amazing.  Your spirit is amazing.  Why are you so critical?  That is learned behavior.  Do us a favor:  Learn to see yourself the way we do.  You are amazing … just the way you are.

Relevance

Salient …a word which means relevant.  How is God relevant in your life?  Is the Presence something you think about on a regular basis?  How often do you focus on love and beauty?  These are salient topics when referring to God.  How often do you look upon a downtrodden one with compassion?  … a salient emotion in the context of God.

God is ever-present in your life.  You cannot escape the Source.  You cannot deny the Force.  Everything is salient when referring to the One True Power, for there is nothing that God is not.  However, when your focus is on love, kindness, and compassion, you bring the greatest attributes of the self to Life, and then Love can dominate your thoughts and actions. 

When Love is present in your consciousness, then everything else is irrelevant.  Do not misunderstand us.  It is not that nothing matters if love is not at the forefront, but everything else will simply fall into place.  Why don’t you try it and see?  We are sure you will find our words have much salience.

Grateful

All that is is energy.  All expressions of life have their individual frequencies.  Gratitude is one of the highest, with a match on each octave.  It matters not where you vibrate on a scale, when you express gratitude you rise to a higher vibration.

Give thanks this day.  Give thanks in every moment for Life.  If you cannot find a reason to give thanks, give thanks for having the ability to reason.  The act alone of being aware of your awareness and then giving thanks for it will raise your vibration.  The higher the vibration, the more peace and happiness you will experience.  This is Truth.

Find reasons to be thankful.  They are everywhere.  The more you recognize them, the more you are saved from ego’s grasp. 

In the Flow

Love is the only thing that matters.  If you give not love, your life flows without order.  This is a truth that most learn the hard way.  How is your life flowing?  How much love are you spreading?  For whom do you harbor anger, disapproval, and judgment?  For no one?  Is your life flowing perfectly?  Do you feel your connection with your Source?  If not, then there is anger or judgment somewhere in your personal energy field.  Find the source of it … better yet, find the recipient of it and forgive them.  Send them love.  While you are at it, send some to yourself, then watch your life begin to flow.  It is the law … the Law of Love.

Variety

How many ways can you say the same thing?  How many years have human beings been singing songs?  How many decades have poets been writing verse?  Do you think we will run out of ideas and messages to share with you? 

There are only so many basic colors in a palette, but in mixing the paints and then changing the way the paints are applied to a canvas, the picture will always come out a bit differently.  It is the same with our messages.  There are only so many words in your language, but an infinite variety of ways to combine them.  The central messages will always remain the same, but do not worry that we will fail in finding ways to share them with you.

“You are spirit.”  “You are eternal.”  “You are love, and you are loved beyond words.”  “You are never alone.”  “Your life has purpose.”  We will find new and creative ways to share this basic palette of messages with you until all of you finally see the picture.

Communication

Louder is not better.  You shout to be heard, and what does this cause?  Perturbations.  Must you always be heard?  Cannot your presence make a statement in itself?  Your very energy—your vibration—speaks volumes.  You can shout without ever opening your mouth.  By the same token, you can whisper with lips never moving.  You can hug with your arms at your side.  All of these words and gestures are sent from the spirit—a non-verbal, non-gesturing aspect of the total self that is always in communion with all other selves.

Play with your energy.  Shout and whisper today to your friends without moving a lip or a finger.  The world of vibration is yours.

Always There

Dark days.  You have them at times—those endless hours when you fear you will never again see the light.  Fear not.  Life is one great circle, ever rotating, ever flowing, ever changing at the rim, but still, safe, and calm at the center. 

Ride the rim for the learning and experience, but slip back to the center to find the light again.  It is always there.  It is you who chooses to experience the difference between dark and light.  Fear not the darkness, but embrace it for what it is—a sign that light lies ahead.

Effortless

Some of your greatest discoveries have come when you stop trying.  Release the effort.  Unclench the mind and drift.  In this way you connect with genius.  In this way you allow creativity to flow.  You cannot find your keys?  Stop searching and allow them to come to you.  It is the human who needs to work at things, to struggle … or so you think. 

Realize that you have a direct connection to your Source with many helpers along the conduit.  Let them do the searching for you.  They will provide all of the creativity you need.  For now, plant the seed of that which you wish to create or find, then sit back and watch it grow.

Beyond All Expectations

Why do you limit yourself so?  It is because you are basing your present on the past and on the belief system of the mass consciousness of your fellow humans.  Think beyond limitations.  Have no expectations other than that of affecting the greater good, and watch what happens.  Limitless thinking will indeed take you far beyond your self-imposed limits to a life filled with joy, adventure, and freedom. 

Examine your thoughts.  Are you boxed in or free?  The choice is up to you.

Truth

Belief is a funny thing.  Fickle it is.  One day you have it, and the next day it is gone.  And then, there is “knowingness.”  When you experience Truth, this solidifies belief into something unchanging and solid.  Then it is no longer a matter of whether you believe or not.  You simply know.  It is a fact in your library of experience.  And there is the key to moving from belief to knowing:  having had the personal experience. 

Seek and you shall experience that which you seek.  Ask and it shall be given.  These are truths that will lead you to knowing, and in the grandness of knowing Truth, you will find peace.

Revered

Sacred … a word that carries the very vibration of its meaning.  One can barely say the word “sacred” without feeling a bit of reverence.  “Sacred” to you indicates that which is special, holy, and to be savored in a way … held in a bit of awe.  You use the word “sacred” to refer to that related to your concept of God.  Do you not realize that you are sacred?  We hold you in awe.

We revere you, for you are an aspect of God.  You are a holy being … yes, you who are reading these words.  If you feel anything less than sacred, then please tell the human ego to go away.  You are special.  You are holy.  You are deserving of worship.  May you come to know this in your heart so that you can not only worship the self, but all others, and all that is … and is that not why you are here?

The Hidden Keys

Things are right before your eyes in the physical world and you do not see them.  A set of keys lies on a table.  A decoration you used to love has faded from focus … and therein lies the reason:  Where you place your focus is what you will perceive.  Where do you place your focus throughout your day:  on the good or the bad, the positive or the negative?  All of these are judgments, of course, based upon how the vibrations feel to you. 

Have you become so mired in the mundane that you do not truly see the beauty around you?  The keys are right there on the table … right there in the mind, actually.  Focus on love.  Focus on beauty.  It is always there, but until you make the conscious choice to keep your focus only on the higher vibrations, the flowers will remain lost amid the weeds. 

Your Most Important Workout

The heart is a muscle you do not exercise enough.  Allowed to lie dormant, it can atrophy.  It is easy to forget what true spiritual love feels like if you allow your humanness to dominate.  It is not that the human does not have the capacity to love; it is that so many have forgotten to live as a whole, blended being of spirit and free-willed human.

Exercise your heart with regularity.  Focus on love no matter what is going on around you, and you will tone the most important muscle in your life.

Still Developing

You call them “developing countries.”  Developing toward what?  More disconnection from each other thanks to the use of technology?  More focus on the acquisition of material abundance?  Do you think these things bring greater happiness and peace?  Yes, it is good in your world to have running water, sanitation, and shelter, but once these are satisfied, how developed must you become before you declare, “I have arrived?”

Take a look at some of your least “developed” tribes.  There you will find a connection between its members at a level most of you reading our words on your computers have never known.  There you will find caring for multiple generations and for the neighbor.  There you will find long moments spent sitting in communion.  There you will find broad smiles.

Now, we ask you … which parts of your life will you choose to develop today?

Your Healing Sanctuary

Healing does take place in the presence of higher energy.  Frequency adjustments do happen in which the higher energies bring harmony where there is dis-ease.  In the presence of love and the absence of fear these higher vibrations are felt.  Know that you can sustain these positive effects, not just when in the presence of another who brings in higher vibrations.  Sit in the silence and bring the light to yourself.  Move your focus away from your pain, be it physical or emotional, and focus on the light.  Move your awareness beyond the physical to the realm of no-time, no-space, and there find relief.  Stay there a while.  When you return to full waking consciousness, a bit of order will have been restored in addition to the calming state you experienced whilst fully bathed in the light. 

This is your healing sanctuary.  Sit in it often.  Ask for your healing angels to surround you and to follow you throughout the day.  Blessings be upon you.

It's All Relative

Are there evil spirits?  So many of you believe this is so.  Let us start with the basics.  Spirit is all that is, and All That Is is pure energy … “Light” as you would know it.  This energy expresses Itself in waveforms which you would recognize and quantify as frequencies.  You, as an individual, have your own energetic signature – a frequency that distinguishes you from other waveforms.  Your frequency is built from the lifetime of thoughts and actions you have created by the use of your mind—your consciousness.

Each unit of consciousness—each light-being—has a frequency that is felt and distinguished relative to each other, but all is Spirit.  Those of a higher vibration feel more pleasant than those of a lower vibration to the individual.  It is all relative.  If one unit already vibrates quite low, then another of an equally low vibration would not see the other as evil at all. 
 

If you are vibrating at a very high rate due to thoughts and actions replete with love, then those units of consciousness which vibrate far, far lower than yours would be felt as a bit of a shock and quite disharmonious.  You may label this as "an evil spirit."  If you create fear with your own thoughts, you may very well project this as something outside of yourself.  This, some of you may label “evil” and give it an identity as “an evil spirit.”  There is no such thing, for all is consciousness and all is relative. 
 

Your beliefs create your reality.  If you believe in evil spirits as a distinct thing, and allow this energy to manifest as fear within your light body, then you instantly lower your own vibration.  If you do not allow fear to enter your field of light, then so-called “evil spirits” will not exist to you as something that can harm you.  Your only experience will be that of love and a loving universe in which some vibrate higher than others. 
 

Vibrate so very high through your belief only in the One True Power—that of Love—and relatively speaking, you will experience only Love.

Guideposts

You have your large billboards that line your highways.  These stand out and attract your attention.  In the same manner, your life’s path is lined with signposts … guideposts that let you know and give you confirmation that you are going in the right direction.  These stand out like beacons, lighting the way.  You often see them in the form of great synchronicities.  These indeed are indicators that all is flowing well.

Look for the guideposts.  Ask to be led down the right path.  When just the right person comes into your life, when just the right book falls into your hands, when the heart opens and you have the unexplained desire to laugh or sing, these are guideposts, signs, gleaming billboards that announce to you, “Follow onward, all is well.”

You package your gifts in a box, then wrap them in colorful paper. Why do you do this? So that the recipient does not know in advance what treasure lies inside. YOU are gift-wrapped, my friend. God has packaged you for a while in the most beautiful of wrappings: a human body. Each of you is decorated just a bit differently from the other, but the treasure inside all holds the same essence of its Giver. It is your task in life to open the package and behold the gift that lies there hidden. Will you be one of those careful beings who removes the wrapping oh so very carefully, peeling away each corner and very slowly revealing the contents to yourself and others? Or will you rip off the wrapping with utter abandonment and joy? Both methods are fine. Worry not, as long as you savor the process. Ultimately, the treasure is revealed to all.

Broken hearts mend slowly.
It takes time to heal a wound.
When what was had you now have lost,
By grief you are consumed.

See not the shell that's left behind
When one you lost has now departed.
Focus on the love you shared
The high vibrations that you started.

This energy stays with you
Even though the person stands no more.
And no longer can you see them
When they pass through Heaven's door.

But in your heart their love remains,
If not their touch and gaze.
Though try you might to see them
In oh, so many ways.

The grief will lift, the heart will mend,
But always will you miss them,
For you focus on the things you've lost ...
The fact that you can't kiss them.

They're here, we say, held safe and sound.
So speak their name aloud.
And know that they are by your side,
Not floating on some cloud.

For spirit are you here and now
As is the one who left.
Not lost, not gone, but still with you.
With no need to be bereft.

“All That Is.” How often do you hear this term for your Source? Do you take it literally, or do you envision exclusions? Does the All That Is include the terrorist? Does the All That Is include the so-called sinner? We have been speaking of late of darkness as the lack of light. Within all things is a Spark, or that thing or being would not exist. In some the light is so clouded you cannot see it, but Spirit is omnipresent. “All That Is” means exactly that. It means you, as well. You are a facet of All That Is just as Jesus, Krishna, Buddha, and Muhammad were and are facets of All That Is. All merely display greater or lesser light. There are no exclusions. See yourself as part of That and realize how very vital is your role. See how you fit in with That and That and That and feel your connection. You do not stand alone, and you cannot fall. Rise above your human consciousness. See the world with spiritual consciousness, for that is All That Is.

From Tuesday, March 27, 2012


Why are you here? This is what so many wish to know. You are here because God wanted to experience this existence as you. Do you realize the miracle that you are? Physically, you are one in a trillion. Metaphysically speaking, you are one … one with God and all that is. As the One, you add to Its greater experience. Will that experience be joyful and full of growth, or less than joyful with little growing? This choice is up to you, for you were given the gift of free will. This freedom adds excitement to God’s experience. How will you choose? Any time that you respond to a situation with love, you grow and God smiles. Of course, God—the Great Spirit—has no lips with which to smile. You are here to be the smile of God. You are the arms and legs of Spirit. You are the expression of Life. It is that simple. Do not make it harder than it is. Smile and be the expression of Love and you are living your life on.

Every time you sit to pray, you acknowledge that there is something greater than yourself. What is it that you pray for? Instead of asking, we advise you to give thanks for these things as if they are already your reality. All exists. God exists. God is, indeed, all goodness and all love. If that for which you pray adds to the goodness and love of the whole, why, then would you need to ask for it at all? You need only give thanks for God’s will being done through you. There is only one Mind. Would not, then, that Mind know not only every hair on your head but your every desire? The truth is, you need not pray at all, but it is the most effective way of reminding the human side of you that you are Spirit. It reconnects you with your Source and allows that Divine energy to flow more freely. So, yes, pray fervently … prayers of gratitude for your awakening to these truths.

Rooms

How do you remain calm in the face of death?  It is easy when you know the Truth that death is merely a door to the next room.  Do you fear walking from one room to another here in your reality?  The furnishings may change, as may the colors on the walls, but you did not change as you stepped across the threshold.  Thus, you had no fear.  It is the same when the spirit leaves the body.  The colors you perceive may be more brilliant, the “furnishings” may sparkle a bit more, but you did not change at all.  The real you remained as pure consciousness and love at the core.

Some fear death, fearing nothing but darkness.  What do you do when you step into a darkened room in your house?  You turn on the lights and lo!  You discover the room is filled with things to behold, awaiting your experiences there.  Your Father’s mansion has many rooms.  To turn on the lights, you need merely flip the switch.  That switch lies within you.  It is operated by your consciousness as spirit, not as a human in physical form.

Do not fear death for yourself or others.  Know that your entire existence consists of stepping eternally from one room to another and turning on the lights.

Waves

From Sunday, May 20, 2012

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.

Savor the Sweetness

From July 14, 2011 – Savor the Sweetness 

Raspberries … such a beautiful fruit, bursting with sweet juice, and such a vibrant red color … so pleasing to the eye, yet what happens when you bite into the berry?  There you find a multitude of seeds that become lodged between the teeth and prove irritating.  And so, you find an alternate way of eating the raspberry.  Instead of chewing, you press down lightly and thus enjoy the juice and the sweet flavor without the irritants.

Is not your life like this at times?  Are there not numerous irritations and people who get stuck between your teeth, so to speak?  They will always be there.  They are part of the “berry”, but are they not surrounded by sweetness and beauty?  

Do not chew so hard.  Do not bite down and grind away when the irritants make their presence known, but merely acknowledge they are there and savor the sweetness anyway.  The seeds all play a role, as do you.  Savor this life, irritants and all, remembering that irritants are in the mind.  It is all in how you choose to consume each beautiful experience.  Focus not on the seeds, but on the sweetness.  It is all around you.

Doubly

A double-take.  You know this expression.  It comes with a shake of the head which says, “Did I really hear that or see that?  Did that really happen?”  Why did this catch your attention so?  Because it is out of the ordinary or extraordinarily synchronistic.

Double your chances of extraordinary events by sitting in the singular silence of unity consciousness.  It is only by knowing your oneness with all that is through the experience of it that you create such perfection and flow in your life that miracles become the norm.

Through the experience of duality you return to oneness and recognize unity.  Take every opportunity to sit in the silence, blending with the One Divine Mind, and partake doubly of the miracle that is your life here and now.
