Aligning Instead of Fighting

[My guides sent me this message last night to explain what they mean by “align” to a different reality instead of “fighting” for one.]What it means to align is that you align, align, that is you take the frequency of your body and your thoughts and you align them, quite literally, with the outcome that wish to see in your reality, the reality that surrounds you. How do you perform this act of alignment? You must recognize that this is where your creative capacity lies. It is this ability of y...

The Human Inclination to Judge

[This is an excerpt from my forthcoming book of channeled wisdom,Seeds of Light,which addresses how our human consciousness is built on a particular relationship to time and space.]Judgment is such a powerful part of who you are as humans. In fact, most of you are in a constant state of judging. It is the byproduct of the ego that discriminates and separates everything into form, everything into an object that can be distinguished from others. Your minds perceive the world in this way, with e...

Enlightenment in a Nutshell

Would you like a short explanation of what enlightenment is? Most discussions of enlightenment are really drawn out and boring and complicated. They needn't be. In this brief video, I give you a quick overview of what enlightenment really is, which is a difference experience of space and time. (Note: the video quality is pretty low and it has not been edited in the slightest, but I figure imperfect action is better than none at all.)

View the World Through the Eyes of Another

Do you not see that you do not need to fight?There is no need to entrench further the systems of thought that currently predominate in your realm.No, you do not. You do not need tooppose, fight, obstruct.That is what you do, you do this to each other, creating teams, and creating parties, and creating the other against whom you fight and oppose and work against in every way, solely so that you can claim your existence as winner.This not the path; this is not the way.You are like any other civ...

To Serve Others, Serve Your Soul

I meet so many people who feel that to be spiritual means to serve and help others. In a sense, this is true: we are all meant to be of service to others. But for many people, they can only see themselves helping others as a form of approval-seeking or to avoid taking care of themselves. They are stuck in a pattern of self-denial and self-abnegation. They never take care of their own needs, whether emotional or physical. And then they get burned out, annoyed or exasperated because no one ackn...

The Problem With Process

So many of us are always in what my friend Will McGreal likes to call "process."1We are always "working on ourselves" in some way, correcting some habit or tendency, or seeking and striving for that next breakthrough on our spiritual path. There's always a sense of being close to "arriving" at that place where we can finally say,"we've made it."The problem is that "process" is always a sign that your mind believes that you are not already there.To be in "process" means, inevitably, that you h...

The Infinite Steps that Led to Your Creation

Drawing Boundaries, Mindfully and With Love

Twice this week, friends of mine have raised the issue of how to draw boundaries -- to say "no" -- when someone asks you a question that you don't want to answer or makes a request that you don't want to fulfill. In one scenario, the "intruding" person was a stranger, and in the other, the person was a friend or colleague. For many of us, our desire to be kind makes it hard to respond. We want to be nice and yet we feel put out by this demand. So the question becomes, how do you respond to th...

Use This One Word If You Want to Change Your Life

How many of us want to make changes in our lives, sometimes a big change? We often pine for something different anddesiresome sort of change but find the concept of change to be frightening. It is scary because what is familiar to usmakes us feel secure. It gives a sense of control. We believe that what is familiar will always be there, and sowe can predict the future. Same job, same home, same relationships. Constancy gives us comfort.This is not true, of course. The world is constantly chan...
