A More Peaceful Viewpoint

Do you know where those who act from ego come from?  A place of fear.  Their actions may seem like confidence, but inside there is the fear that they will not be loved or will not have or get enough of what they think they need to survive.  Do not look with disdain upon those who act with excessive pride or arrogance.  See them, instead, with compassion, for inside they are as frightened children.  Send them love and silent blessings.  May you never fear.  May you never lack for love.  If you find yourself thinking from a place of lack or fear, may you recognize that this is ego and not the real you.

Tempted

Temptations will always surround you.  What is a temptation?  Something that pulls you like a magnet to do or take something that your intuition tells you is not in your best interest.  What is in your best interest?  That which increases your loving vibration, your health and harmony, your peace.  Why would you do something that would bring about anything but these pleasant states?  At the ego’s urging.  He convinces you that doing so would bring you greater pleasure, but in the long wrong, he is usually wrong.

Ego is that little voice which wants you to act against the voice of intuition.  He is a greedy fellow.  He wants you to stand alone and listen to only him, but in doing so, the end result does not bring peace.  When you can learn the difference between ego and spirit—the voice of the soul—you can laugh at temptation and make higher choices. 

Once again we advise you to see temptation as ego’s voice.  Pat him on the head with compassion and understanding, and say, “Thank you for your suggestion, but I choose peace.”

A Note About Ty's Blog

From Suzanne:  For some reason, the past two posts from Ty's blog have not gone out to those who subscribe to automatic email updates.  To read the last two posts (and any others until this is resolved), please visit www.LifeAsTySeesIt.com and in the meantime, visualize the blog elves fixing the problem. xxoo

Why Wait?

Love.  You wait to receive it from others.  But what if they are waiting to receive it from you?  What if you do not give it in the manner they desire?  Do they stop loving you?  The truth, in your human world, is oft times yes.  This is not the love of which we speak.  Practice unconditional love from the soul.  This is permanent and unchanging.  When you get to the point where this, your true self, your true nature, flows from every cell, you will no longer feel a need to get love, for you will know it is you.  Be that which you are, without conditions, and there find freedom.

Crystal Clear

Yes, being around lower vibrations can affect you.  Be on the lookout for this.  Some of you are like sponges and soak up the thoughts and feelings of others.  Regular cleansing is necessary if you are to maintain peace.  How do you do this?  The recipe remains the same:  Deep, cleansing breaths in nature.  Visualize the pure energy flowing through you, replacing lower vibrations.  Meditate, and focus on the heart and healing.  So many do not realize how much the vibrations of others affect the whole.  Those who are empathic realize this quite well.  Do your dusting and keep the lens crystal clear.

Growing

When you are in new situations, it is easy to practice new ways of thinking.  It is the well-worn, familiar experiences which challenge you the most to exhibit your newfound higher thoughts and vibrations.  How do you act around family members and those you have not seen in some time but with whom you have “history”?  How do you think and act in old, familiar places?  You no longer radiate the same as when you were there and with them in the past, but the memory of how you did lives within the subconscious mind.  Live consciously.  Visiting old places and old friends is the perfect time to test if you are, in fact, growing.

Transition

“That is a death sentence!” you think upon hearing of one’s illness, as if this is the worst thing in the world.  First of all, you cannot know whether healing will take place or not.  Mostly, we wish you to examine your belief system.  Yes, those who may be left behind will need to adjust, but death is a welcome transition to some, and a joyous occasion for the soul—a new chapter in the ongoing book of life.  It is not to be feared.  In fearing death, so many make the last pages of the current chapter frightening and full of low vibrations, instead of a celebration.  What a radical thought change.  Grief is very real.  We understand this.  But perhaps you might view the inescapable transition in a more positive light and help all those around you.

Welcome!

Barriers … you put them up on your streets to keep cars from passing.  You also erect them around yourself energetically to keep others from coming too close.  In either case, they are obstacles.  Why do you separate yourself from others?  Your pre-judging keeps you from having some quite magical experiences.  Take down the barriers and put up a welcome sign, why don’t you.  You may be pleasantly surprised at the result.  Yes, a short and simple message today.  There is no need to make love complicated.

Single-minded

Do you see how excitable a dog becomes when it sees its prey?  Single-minded focus blocks out all else from its awareness.  Can you be the single-minded focus of love?  This is the state you want to aim for in meditation to know your true self.  Whilst the mind wants to wander, pure consciousness is stillness and focus.  How to achieve this?  With intention, desire, and devotion.  The more you sit in this state of pure focus, the more you come to know your true state of utter peace and tranquility.  There is no need to stay there long in this fully focused state—merely to experience it on a regular basis so that when things become hectic around you, you can return to this sacred place and state at will.

Changing Views

In the valley, all you see are mountains.  The climb out appears daunting, but does not the sun shine in from above?  It is a beacon, showing you that hope is always there.  The valley is not so bad a place to rest for a while.  The mountains stand as a symbol of hope, rather than despair.  Every journey begins with one step.  That step leads to the next, and the next, and before you know it you are climbing higher and higher.  There are paths unseen from the bottom … multiple paths, but each one full of possibilities and each one illuminated by the light.  Even if you choose to return to the valley for a while, the sun still shines. 

The view may change as you go through life with its ups and down, but the sun is always there.  Rainclouds and high peaks may obscure its light from time to time, but just as night always turns to day, you too will emerge into the light and be well.  All is in perfect order and will show itself to be so when you focus on the Light.

Hope and a Prayer

You are right:  You cannot give money to every beggar you see, for sometimes they are out of reach.  And yes, you are right:  Sometimes they would use the money for drugs and alcohol.  How they use your money is of no consequence.  How you give it is of great matter.  Whether you give them money or give them prayers, the result at an energetic level is the same, dependent on your intention.  What is the spirit in which you look upon them?  With compassion or with disdain?  If you give them money, may it be with love.  You may just as well give them a loving smile, accompanied by hope and a prayer.  “There but for the grace of God go I” is a phrase worth thinking about.  In truth, there you are.  God is in all things.  All is Spirit.  You may not throw money at all things, but love spread liberally changes lives.

Passing Clouds

A cloud drifts by.  It does not last.  It appears to have form, and so you notice it, and then it dissolves as if it were never there.  At times a cloud releases a torrent of rain upon you, leaving a lasting impression.  At others, it intensifies the effect of the sun, drawing your attention to its silvery outline.  Are not thoughts just like this?  They come and go, some large and seemingly more important than others.  Some release rain upon you, whilst others bring sunshine.  All of them are temporary, floating in and out of your life … none of them lasting, some catching your attention more than others. 

Do not give so much attention to your thoughts.  They merely mask the light behind them.  That is the part of you that is permanent.  Focus on the light, and let the clouds drift by as they will.

Winners All Around

And so, you have your contests and your competitions, and one always wins and one loses.  This is how you therefore see life, with winners and losers, as if one is good and the other bad.  Would it not be wonderful if all always came out on top? 

But you do!  All learn and grow through competition.  Contests push you humans to see how much you can create or how strong or flexible or talented is the human body.  But in a competition, with its inherent polarity, you usually place one at each end of the pole. 

You do yourselves a disservice when you label one end of the pole a loser.  All are winners and become so when they see the growth and enjoyment that has ensued simply from the experience.  Are there not those who do not stretch themselves at all for fear of so-called “losing”?

May you come to realize that all are winners.  May you learn to celebrate the game itself and praise the so-called losers every bit as much as the so-called winners.  In an illusory world, what makes a winner or a loser is quite subjective, is it not? 

You are all winners, for you have chosen to play this game called life.

Loggerheads

At loggerheads … an expression you use when two or more cannot reach agreement.  Round and round you go, each standing firmly in your beliefs.  A stalemate is reached, and what do you do?  Agree to disagree.  It is all a dance, this swirling and twirling about, and then the pause.  If you were to change positions, then you would have a new dance.  And so the dance of life continues, with each trying, testing, and living with beliefs for a while until they no longer serve you.  Is it wrong?  Is it right?  Or is it simply life?  It depends on your belief system.  Life is about the experience, which is all you take with you.  May peace and tranquility go with you always.

Ever More Brightly

Note from Suzanne:  Ty and I have passed through the gates of the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. many times.  Our hearts go out to those affected by this latest example that there is, as Sanaya says today, yet more light to be shined on our world.  May we all be beacons of hope for those who cannot see that  light.

It is easy to become discouraged when you read your headlines.  You work to bring more love into your world.  You do your best to be the presence of love, to see only goodness, and in less than one minute a single focus of ignorance brings pain to many.  One human being’s use of free will brings down the vibration of others, drawing the world’s attention to the fact that there is more work to be done.

Never forget that the power of Love will conquer evil.  It is not a ratio of one to one, for every act of ignorance does not wipe out one loving act.  The light of one self-realized soul is far more powerful than one who walks in ignorance.  Now it is those very souls who realize that the self is spirit and not human who will shine ever brighter and hold the love and hope for others.

Why will you hold candles now in your vigils?  As a reminder that the light is still there.  To light the way for those who cannot yet see through the darkness.  Light a candle in memory of those who are now completely surrounded by love, relieved for a while of the burden of experiencing others’ ignorance.  As for you, shine ever more brightly now, candle or not, for you are the light, and shine you will eternally.

The Not-So-Secret Handshake

What is oneness … singularity?  Total union, with no differences or separation.  Until now, few have known this state.  Those who have, speak of it, but to truly know it, it must be experienced.  Go within … to the heart … to know your union with All That Is.  When you open your eyes, you will see duality again, but you will carry this knowingness with you.  Then you will recognize it in others.  You will see it in the eyes.  “Ah yes, you have been there, too.  Namaste’.”

Namaste’ … the secret handshake.  May you go forth and share this feeling until the secret is out:  At your essence, all is One.

From Suzanne:  For those who may not know the meaning of Namaste’, it is a greeting (often shared by those in India) which means, “I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides.  I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace.  When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us.”  Namaste’.

Earthbound

What are ghosts?  The lingering vibration of those who do not yet want to fully embrace the experience of no longer being in human form.  They resist going fully to the light, and thus retain a bit more of the human vibration than that of pure spirit.  There is nothing to fear.  This more earthly vibration makes them visible and detectable by those who would not normally see or hear those not in human form.  You can help such beings by suggesting that they move on.  Now that they are in spirit, they will have a far greater experience if they move toward the light.  As for you, you are still in human form, therefore there is a reason you are still earthbound.  You have more to experience here.  Move toward the light in your heart and make this earthly time all the more enjoyable.

Open

Miracles happen when you get out of the way.  What do we mean by this?  You have your preconceived notions of how the world works.  These expectations create your reality.  If you do not believe in Santa Claus, you may very well receive lumps of coal.  Open your mind to possibilities beyond your imagining, to experiences no other has yet had, and then prepare yourself.  A jolly being with a white beard may very well put a special gift right in your lap.  The miracles reveal themselves when you surrender fixed images of how your world works.

Note from Suzanne:  It happened again … music is playing as I’m typing this.  Just as I typed Sanaya’s message from my notepad, Seal comes on and sings, “Miracles will happen as we speak …”  May miracles be the norm in your life!

Raising the Spirits

Do you think those on the other side have no sense of humor?  Quite the contrary.  We are quite aware of the healing effects of laughter.  There is no better way to raise the spirits than to enjoy some fun.  That is what life is all about—raising the spirits.  To make another laugh is to bring about a heart connection.  There is a great connection between love and laughter.  Of course we do not speak of laughter at the expense of another, but laughter for the pure joy that comes from seeing the humor in life’s adventures.  Do not take life so seriously.  Raise the roof with laughter and raise the world’s vibration in doing so.

Choose Peace

The universe does not conspire against you.  It conspires for you.  There are many who do not understand this.  They have lived too long amongst those who use their free will as human beings for purposes less than loving.  In those cases, they are going against the natural flow of the universe.  Were you to simply trust and relax, you would float instead of struggling upstream.  When you surrender and trust, you flow directly into the main current of universal vibration and are swept up by it.  Make this your intention—to flow with the universal current and be in harmony with it.  From this more peaceful state you will drift past those who are splashing and struggling.  Extend a hand and invite them along, but be cautious of those who fail to surrender with you.  Do not let them drag you down.

Reach Out

Note from Suzanne:  This message is clearly meant for someone Sanaya knows will read it today.  If not for you, then perhaps you can reach out and spark that light in someone who cannot find the strength to do so themselves.

You plot your own demise.  You think that will make a difference.  You think you will leave all of this pain behind.  Please take a moment and think of all the pain you will leave behind.

When you hurt so badly, it is difficult to think.  Others can help.  That is the problem—in your pain you fail to see that others know pain.  Others understand.  Pain is not your sole domain.  The soul knows love as its essence.  You will find your way back to the soul through the grace of Love.  Reach out to another when you are hurting so badly.  This will ignite the light inside of you called hope.  You cannot see it now through the darkness of despair, but it is there. 

Reach out.  You are not alone, and when you realize that, the long climb out of the abyss has begun.

Flow

Friends and enemies.  Why do you categorize?  You do so because that is the human way.  Unfortunate, is it not?  But most instructive.  Be aware that it does serve to keep even you in a box when you place others in a box.  What if you saw others like water in a river, constantly changing as they flow through your life?  Rather than resisting those you label enemies, you let them flow by, realizing that all are part of the flow of life.  There is great freedom in such a view, allowing greater peace to reside in your heart.  Be cautious of labels and allow all that is to simply flow.

Whoosh

Scurry, scurry.  Why so much rushing about?  Where are you going in such a hurry?  Do you even know where you are?  Stop for a moment and look around.  How did you get here?  Do you even remember?  Be present and you will discover a whole new world—one which has been rushing past as you focus always on the future.  There are those around you who would love for you to take a breath.  Your very soul would like to say hello and get to know you, but that requires catching your breath.  Try it.  You may be surprised at what you have been missing.

The Message of the Wolf

Why do wolves howl at the moon?  Because they are restless.  Inside, their soul knows peace.  Outwardly, they feel trapped.  In their anguish they bay at the light in the sky calling them home, yet they remain earthbound.  Yes, they are pack animals, and they find great solace in these bonds, but inside they long for freedom.

Do not feel sorry for the wolf.  He is at home anywhere he roams.  He will howl, yes, as if in anguish, but inside his soul knows the truth.  His is strong.  He is trustworthy.  He is loyal, but given a chance, given wings, he would fly to the moon and back.  Why would he return?  For once there he would discover that home is where the heart is.  Not at some distant, glowing rock, but there inside him, where the glow never goes out.

Rooted

Why do you dig in your heels?  Because you are quite earthbound when you do so.  It is the human side of you that has such set ideas that you take your very human heels and dig them quite firmly into the very earthly ground and stand that ground.  And what does this gain you?  A sense of separation and righteousness. 

What happens when you look down upon your humanness from the viewpoint of yourself as spirit?  Why, you become so light that you rise up and float right out of those firmly planted feet.  From there you not only can relieve the tension of being so firmly rooted in your position, but you may even smile to see all the others rooted in place.  And then you may even laugh to see how interconnected you all are at the roots beneath all the surface differences.  But of course you cannot see this until you rise above.

Perfectly Imperfect

Zero defects.  Yes, again we bring this up, because again you are striving for perfection.  To make no errors is a laudable goal, but it leads to fear and frustration.  Can you just be happy “being”?  Can you just enjoy the game for what it is?  All of life is about the experience and how you grow from it.  The lessons you take with you add to the Whole.  If all of you were perfect all of the time, where would be the learning?  It is how you handle the imperfections that brings the most growth.  Embrace your so-called defects.  See and love the imperfections for what they are—part of the perfection that is you.

Love Without Conditions

Note from Suzanne:  For the next 4 days I will not have internet service.  Sanaya will be posted when I can get to a signal. Today I’m posting words from Sanaya that came to me in 2010.  They are very much connected to the message we had yesterday. Of course there is no “expiration date” on the words of love and wisdom from spirit!

Love unconditionally … What conditions are you placing on your lovedoHow ones?  Why should you love without conditions?  It is simple: because love is all you are.  Call it Spirit … call it Consciousness … call it God … it is all the same energy.  Love is the highest vibration of this energy.  This is your Source.  The higher you raise your personal vibration, the closer you become to your Source and reveal your True Nature.

When you place conditions upon the love you feel toward others, you are constricting the flow—constricting your Self.  How many times a day do you look at one whom you claim to love and think, “He or she should not do this or that.” “He or she should not think that way or speak that way or act that way.”  Who are you to say how another should behave or think?  Each is on his own path.  Best to concern yourself with your own soul’s development.

One of the fastest ways in which you can develop is by ceasing judgment of others, especially those most close to you—your greatest teachers—and sending them only love … loving without conditions.  When you can master this key step—to love all beings without condition—then you will live as The Master … a most lofty goal, but one well within your reach.  Examine your thoughts.  Do you truly love others, or just parts of others?  True love encompasses all parts without condition.
