Glory

Glory to God in the highest.  For as long as man has existed he has exalted the Deity.  It is only as the consciousness of man expands and rises, that he exalts all that is, seeing in the good, the bad, and all of creation cause to celebrate. 

All is Consciousness.  Nothing is truly solid.  What is real?  That which can be perceived through consciousness, therefore all is real, but not necessarily solid.  What does this have to do with God and glory?  Everything, for everything arises from Consciousness, including your (at times limited) consciousness. 

By praising God you are praising yourself, but do not let this go to your human head.  You are but one facet of the great jewel that reflects in all things.  When you can feel gratitude for all things and all experiences, and wish nothing more than to glorify Life with all of its ups and downs as an expression of the All, then you are coming closer to understanding that it is all God.  Any way that you can perceive this Force, whether as a man in the clouds or the Light that burns within your chest is reason for praise. 

 

And the Music Plays On

Music:  the sound of creation.  When there is harmony, there is growth; when there is dissonance, stagnation or decay.  It is that simple.  All arises from sound, from the Word, the one note, the Om.  You have your unique note which has developed as you have played in this lifetime.  Your fellow humans and all creatures and forms have their unique tones, and together you make up a song.  In between each note is what seems to be silence, but that apparent silence is what makes the notes apparent.  That silence is teeming with possible tones, infinite symphonies yet to be written by the Great Composer:  Consciousness … Spirit … God.

Do you see how you cannot be separated from the other notes?  How important you are to the symphony?  You are the music … the song playing in this lifetime.  At times it is harmonious, at others disharmonious, but the music plays on, even in the silence.  Sit back and listen to the silence.  Therein lies inspiration for the next opus, and you will be part of that as well, for sound is sound, infinite and everlasting in the ongoing dance of music and silence.

Behold!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Let us give you a new “take” on this oft-used phrase.  This can mean that each person determines what is beautiful or not, but today we wish to ascribe a different meaning.  Beauty is in the eye.  Deep within.  Look deep into the eye of another and there in that dark pool you experience recognition … sameness … oneness.  Yes, the eye is a doorway to the soul.  And so, if you understand that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then this phrase asks you to go within your own eye and continue on deep into the heart of you—the soul.  There, deep within you lies the same beauty you see by gazing into the eyes of one you love.  When you can gaze into your own eyes in a mirror and see the beauty, then behold!  A miracle has taken place.  And what is a miracle?  The connection of heaven and earth … the alignment of your self with your Self.

Stretching

It is all about the experience—this thing called Life.  It is neither good nor bad, but life unfolding for the opportunity to evolve.  You are faced with choices with every experience.  Each allows your soul to grow, stretch, expand, or shrink, decay, nullify.  How do you optimize each experience, each encounter?  Love, my friend.  Be Love. 

Shine the light of love that is you.  In this way you cannot help but expand and grow.  The soul wants to grow.  The soul knows this is its task.  This is why it nudges you always toward the higher choices and why life does not flow quite as easily when ego decides not to go along with the higher self’s prompting.  Play along today, why don’t you, at every opportunity, through every experience.  Your day will be all the more bright as a result.

Who Me?

It’s not about you.  This is a phrase that bears repeating again and again.  Each is here for their own learning, so in a sense, the lesson that another’s concerns do not relate specifically to you is for you, but their angst, their discomfort, their behavior has nothing to do with you and everything to do with their own issues, their own growth.

It is one’s discomfort, insecurities, and fears which lead them to think that another’s anger, silence, or other less than loving behavior is about anyone other than the one experiencing those states of consciousness.  Life is challenging enough in human form without worrying what others are thinking.  Free yourself.  Relax and do the best you can at simply being the presence of Love, and peace will be your experience.

Note from Suzanne - The Ultimate Gift

What is the ultimate gift?  To learn that those who have passed are still very much with us.  My dear friend and former literary agent, Bill Hammond, a gifted author, has just released the story of how he has been given irrefutable evidence from his beloved wife, Victoria, who died of cancer in 2011, that their love is eternal.  I am honored to have written the foreword to this important book.  Bill's tender and poignant story features excerpts of actual transcripts from three sessions with me along with beautiful signs Victoria has sent him from the other side.  The words will touch your heart and awaken your soul even more to the truth of who we are.  I am confident that you will enjoy The Ultimate Gift and want to share it with those who are grieving.  Here's the link on Amazon:  http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Gift-Embracing-Eternal-Love/dp/1934690783/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423851944&sr=8-1&keywords=william+c+hammond+the+ultimate+gift

Forever shining

[image error] It is the Light that formed you.  Like a tube of sand formed by a strike of lightning, you have physical form.  The full power of the Light that formed you continues to flow inside of you, or you would not have the most powerful awareness that exists:  I AM. 

Just as the Light within never goes out, the awareness of I AM never dies.  You cannot imagine not existing, for you have always existed, in different forms, in different worlds, always shining, always seeking ways to express Yourself, always bringing Light to the darkness.  Do you see the power you have?  Bright or dim you shine, so shine on, knowing that you never do so alone, for I AM.

Ever-Changing

Plans change … even the best laid of them.  Is this cause for disappointment or gratitude?  How far better off you are when you can remain flexible and follow the prompting of the soul.  Once you say you are going to do a thing, if you feel you must now stick to that plan without wavering, then you are no longer free.  Perhaps the initial plan you made paved the way for an even more magical outcome.  There is no need for disappointment.  Go with the flow of life and you will see the perfection.

The Thorn

Guilt serves a purpose.  It is a powerful teacher and motivator.  But like a poke in the side, it need only alert you that an adjustment in thought and action is in order.  To allow the thorn to continue poking and causing you discomfort is a waste and can be detrimental to your growth.  You have the power to remove this pain instantly.  Acknowledge its source, whether deserved or not, and then make a decision to remedy it.  “But it is too late!” you cry.  “The deed is done!”  No matter.  Examine the motives of all involved.  Examine the circumstances, but do so from the higher perspective of spirit looking down on all of the players with compassion and understanding.  Now, with that understanding, vow to do the best you are capable of at all times of being love and giving love.  Forgive yourself for being human.  Forgive yourself for your limited perspective, and give yourself and all others the gift of gratitude.  Remove that thorn in your side with gratitude for this lesson in forgiveness and understanding.
