Esteemed

Insecurity.  The word indicates a state of not feeling safe, lacking a sense of security of the self.  Where does this come from?  The human side, of course, ruled by ego.  Had you any idea who you are on the inside, words such as “insecure” and “self-esteem” would have no place in your vocabulary.  But it is part of the plan of being human for you to find your way from self-esteem to Self-esteem.  The latter has nothing to do with ego and everything to do with knowing that there is a greater Self which does not compare itself to others.  It knows no separation.  It is always safe and secure.  It is esteemed with no opposite.  You are That.  Set the intention of coming to know the true part of you.  You are Love.  Be secure in that awareness.

Value

“Who am I?  I don’t matter at all.”  And with that thought you do a disservice to divinity.  Even the smallest creature has the same value as any other, for all is a manifestation of Divinity, of Source.  All is Spirit experiencing existence.  May we use the wave in the ocean analogy?  You may express yourself loudly and boldly as a benevolent tidal wave, or as the smallest ripple.  But that ripple, it is so small that it seems to blend in completely with the ocean so that it is indistinguishable from the Source.  And so it is.  By not expressing itself as a giant wave, reaching out and crashing boldly against the shore, it may not have as much of an effect and others may not take notice, but does it have any less of the original Source power?  Not at all.  The same potential, the same Power, the same essence exists in the entire sea, and you are a wave of That, no matter how big or small.  Value that.

School's in Session

You wish to justify your actions, and so you give an explanation.  At least, that is what you call it, while others might label your words an excuse.  Inside you know that you could have chosen a more optimal course of action or choice of words, yet part of you rattles on, using words to defend your less than optimal choice.  That part is ego, which knows only how to defend itself.  Even when you recognize him at work he will go on making excuses.  What can you do, but laugh?  Laugh at the poor fellow.  He is only doing his job.  Then tell him to go sit in the corner, as always, while you bring your true self back to center stage and apologize, if necessary.  If no amends are needed, simply acknowledge how you could have done better, give love to all involved, even to that little fellow over there in the corner, and get back to school.

Authentic

There is only one Power, and that is Love.  This Power rules the Universe.  Now, we hear you.  You look about you and see examples of things that reflect less than love.  This is when we ask you to understand that there are two ways of being in and seeing your world:  with the (eyes of the) soul and the (eyes of the) ego.  The Power that is the essence of All That Is is of the soul.  Anything less than Love is of the ego.  There is true power/authentic Power, and the misinterpretation/misuse of power.

What is authentic is real.  Cruelty, evil, and other aspects of the ego may appear real, but they are not lasting and authentic.  What is lasting and authentic is the soul, therefore Love will always prevail.  Anything less than Love is not authentic Power.

Acceptance

Denial is a protective behavior.  You wear it like a coat.  The problem is that it holds the cold IN instead of protecting you from anything outside of you.  If you truly remembered who you are on the inside, you would have no need for denial.  Instead, you would proudly reveal all, letting all that you previously hid or shunned be revealed, discussed, and fully aired.  Only in this way are hearts healed.  Only in this way is light shined into the darkness.  Only in this way do you realize that you need not deny any parts of yourself or others.  All exists for the learning and growth—“the good, the bad, and the ugly” as the human sees it.  As the spirit sees it, there are no parts to deny, simply to accept, allow, and surround with love.

Change and Uncertainty

If you are to live in a state of peace, you must come to terms with uncertainty.  It is the separate sense of self which wants all to be predictable and orderly.  Control is a tool of the ego.  All is in perfect order, but on a far grander scale than the individual self is apt to notice when focused on the self.  When you can join the sense of self with the higher Self and see the order amidst the chaos, you will no longer need to give orders or maintain strict control.  You can relax now.  The outcome is certain:  the soul survives all.  Change is guaranteed.  Come to terms with change.  It is the way the soul grows.

Biding Your Time

Patience is a virtue.  Why?  Because it brings peace to those who know it.  If you do not have patience as your friend, you do not know peace.  You know frustration.  You know ego quite well, for he is the one who says, “I want it now.  Why has this not happened yet?  Why are things moving so slowly?”  All of these “why’s” indicate a lack of trust in the greater picture along with a limited view of possible outcomes.  That view would be ego’s view and not that of the soul.  Patience, my friend.  Rise above ego’s wants, needs, and demands until patience becomes your friend and peace your daily companion.

In Sickness and Health

There is no doubt that the body of humanity is not fully healthy.  It never has been.  There are pockets of dis-ease that exist like tumors spread throughout.  But there remain more vital, healthy cells than dis-eased ones or your experimental school of life would not still be in session.  Are you going to give it all up because of sickness?  Is that how the body is designed?  Or do the healthy cells continue to rush to surround the dis-eased ones with an infusion of health?  Yes, of course it can go in either direction.  That is why it is experimental, and that is why it is a school.  Do not lose hope.  Just do your job.  And what is that?  To be the presence of love, light, and goodness, thus helping to eradicate dis-ease.  Love is contagious.  You know this.  Now be that which you are and continue your work.

Note from Suzanne:  Most often Sanaya's messages are universal, as this one is, but there are times when they are in direct response to a question I ask about an issue I am dealing with.  I have just spent several days in the heart of a city where the vibrations are not the highest.  I have felt myself being dragged downward, especially as I listened to conversations that focused on the negatives.  Yes, those negatives exist, but do we just talk about them, or is there something we can do?  Re-read today's message, realizing that Sanaya is not talking about the physical body, but about each of us a cell in the Body of God.  The solution may sound like a Pollyanna response, but it is only by bringing light to the darkness that we as a species move ever onward.  By being the light that we are, we help others to discover the true nature that lies within each of us.  (Rx when affected by lower vibrations:  remain aware of thoughts, meditate, and do regular chakra clearing).  Thank you, Sanaya!

No Matter What

One hundred will say wonderful things to you and one will sling arrows.  Where will you place your focus?  Most humans will be drawn to the arrows.  Why?  Because negativity fuels the ego.  It bolsters the sense of separation, without which ego cannot survive.  Positive strokes do the same thing, but most are not aware of this.  Let neither affect you.  Be not built up or torn down by what others think, say, or do.  Simply be.  Be at peace by being who you are.  You are loved no matter which voice you listen to or what happens around you.  Focus on that.  This is the truth that most people long to hear, and so they cling to the praise and allow the arrows to slay them.  Love cares not about garlands or arrows.  Love lives within all.  Be loved and be at peace.

Clean and Clear

“I’m not myself today.”  It is good that you notice this.  Awareness is key.  Then you might ask whose energy are you carrying around?  What is it that is blocking your true nature from shining through?  Energetic cleanliness is all-important.  Those around you may carry quite a different vibration from your own.  When interacting with others, if you are sensitive, you may pick up and take on others’ vibrations and issues as if they are your own.  This can happen subtly, without your awareness, until you become aware that there is no known reason for your less than positive mood or for your lack of vitality.  Practice energetic hygiene, cleaning your energy through meditation, and focus on each of your energetic centers (chakras), visualizing them clear and perfectly balanced.  Do this regularly, but most especially when you are “not yourself.”
