Guardian Angels

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their hands, so you will not strike your foot against a stone. ~ Psalms 91: 11-12

After last week’s post, Angels In Our Midst, some of our readers wondered what my spirit guides might have to say about angels. Specifically, guardian angels.

If you only knew how safely and lovingly you are held in the arms of your guardian angels, you’d never again know fear.… Read more

Angels In Our Midst

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. ~ Hebrews 13:2

angels-in-sky-on-earth

A couple of weeks ago, I was walking out to my mailbox. Since I live in a remote area, it’s a long walk. There’s only one house between my house and the mailbox.

As I passed that house, I heard someone cry out to me. I looked over and saw a cute, dark-haired little boy waving at me. I thought it was strange, having never seen him before.… Read more

8 Kindness Lessons I Learned at the Shoe Repair Shop

posted in: Blog, channeling, kindness | 14

An understanding heart is everything in a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. ~ Carl Jung

Many years ago, when I was growing up in New York State, I knew an old shoe repair man. Louie was no ordinary shoe guy, no ordinary man.

Our families had been friends for many years, having both immigrated from Italy in the early 1900s.… Read more

Celebrating Diversity and Embracing Oneness

I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower, United States president, 1953-1961

You Are the Answer

Man’s ultimate destiny is to become one with the Divine Power which governs and sustains the creation and its creatures. ~ Alfred A. Montapert

I love that quotation above. Do you believe our destiny is to become one with God, with Goddess — or whatever name you prefer for that divine power which created all that is?

Spirit

You are the answer to every question, every dilemma you have ever had. You are divine, literally. But your ego and your world have done a great job of brainwashing you.… Read more

It’s Time To Claim Your Authenticity

posted in: Blog, channeling, Global oneness | 3

What we’re all striving for is authenticity, a spirit-to-spirit connection. ~ Oprah Winfrey

claim-your-authenticity

This week we’re featuring an article by my good friend, Ted Murray. Ted’s a great writer and an amazing spiritual teacher. I think his message today will resonate with many of you. It certainly did with me. Here he is.

Ted Murray

Are you sometimes (or maybe often) hesitant or even ashamed to claim your ability to connect powerfully with the universe? Perhaps people will think you are weird or downright crazy if you start to talk about miraculous energy healing, the Akashic records, ETs, or any number of other things that seem natural for you but completely outside the experience of “normal” society.… Read more

Is Beauty Really In the Eye of the Beholder?

posted in: Blog, channeling, happiness | 10

Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy. ~ Anne Frank (1929-1945), Diary of a Young Girl, 1952

ocean-sunset-beauty

 

Well, perhaps beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We all probably know at least one someone who is blind to the beauty of our world. Someone who focuses on the ugliness, which is not hard to find (if that’s what they’re looking for) in people, places, politics, etc.

Spirit

But beauty also exists quite apart from how humans see the world.… Read more

Are You Hiding Your Light?

I am the light of the world ~ A Course in Miracles

Many of us grew up believing we did not have much to contribute to the world or our fellow humans. I certainly believed that. How about you?

If you grew up Catholic, as I did, your sense of self-worth was pretty miserable. The admission “I am not worthy” was enshrined as part of the ceremonial liturgy.

It took me many years to get beyond that nonsense. Some never get that far.… Read more

Accepting Total Responsibility for Our Lives

posted in: Blog, channeling, healing | 10

 You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be the most useful. ~ Marie Curie, physicist and first woman to win a Nobel Prize

The Power of Love

posted in: Blog, body mind spirit, channeling | 8

When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will finally know peace. ~ Jimi Hendrixlove-is-power

Many years ago, one of my spirit guides said the sole purpose of humans is two-fold: first, to remember who they are and second, to remember why they are here.

Spirit

One of the aspects of love is a choice you can freely make—the choice to see the divinity in all beings, in all that is.

Every thought of love and compassion you hold soothes and nurtures the world around you.… Read more

The Myth of Heaven and Hell

I don’t like to commit myself about heaven and hell. You see, I have friends in both places. ~ Mark Twain

stairsways-heaven-hell

Folks often ask us, in emails and private readings, what life is like “beyond the veil,” in the realms of spirit. In what you might call heaven (or hell). It’s a good question. So today we’re going to give you Spirit’s perspective on it.

Spirit

First, there is no “veil,” no separation between you and us. That’s a story humans have invented.… Read more

God Is A Big Illusion We Made Up

I believe in God, only I spell it Nature. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright, American architect and writer

If you read our last week’s post, You and God Have An Eternal Connection, you may be puzzled by this post’s title. In fact, you may think I’ve lost my mind.

Let me explain.

Today I was at my desk wondering what we were going to write about for this week’s post. Then I remembered a close friend from long ago. She didn’t believe in God, and did her best to convince me to ditch my beliefs.… Read more

You and God Have An Eternal Connection

Think of yourself as an incandescent power, illuminated and perhaps forever talked to by God and his messengers. ~ Brenda Ueland, American journalist and writer

man-spirit-god-connection

Our dear friend George Ball, of Alexandria, Virginia, suggested recently that we come up with some inspirational thoughts to remind us that we and Spirit are eternally connected. I think George’s idea is a great way to start this new year of 2018—and set the tone for the whole year, and beyond.

The following list consists of Spirit’s random thoughts, in no particular order.… Read more

The Spirit of Compassion

Until he extends his circle of compassion to include all living things, man will not himself find peace. ~ Albert Schweitzer

I thought a good way to start the new year would be to focus on something so much of today’s world seems to be lacking—compassion.

It’s easy to feel compassion for those we love. (I picked that image above because the little boy looks so much like my grandson.)

It’s easy to feel compassion for those we agree with, those who are, basically, the same as us.… Read more

It doesn’t matter how you celebrate this holiday season—with Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, Winter Solstice, Chinese New Year, etc. etc. Or even if you don’t celebrate the season at all. But I think most of us would agree this is the season to celebrate the spirit of love.

Because animals are naturally uninhibited, they express themselves far more clearly than most humans. This is particularly true when they demonstrate love for the humans in their lives.… Read more

People say to me so often, “Jane, how can you be so peaceful when everywhere around you people want books signed, people are asking these questions and yet you seem peaceful?” And I will always answer that it is the peace of the forest that I carry inside.” Jane Goodall, British anthropologist.

Parable of the Beautiful House of Light

When you close your doors, and make darkness within, remember never to say that you are alone, for you are not alone. Nay, God is within, and your genius is within. ~ Epictetus, Greek Stoic philosopher

We’re doing something a bit different today. A while back, best-selling author and filmmaker James Twyman  wrote a powerful parable. Today, with his permission, we’re sharing it with you.

Many years ago, longer than you can even remember, you bought a beautiful house but covered every window with dark, heavy shades.… Read more

Since I’m away from home this holiday weekend of Thanksgiving in the United States, we’re keeping this post shorter than usual.

In today’s topsy-turvy world, it’s easy to grow cynical about the human race. Is there any hope for us? Well, Charles Kuralt, in his words above, certainly seems to think so.… Read more

Can Politics and Spirituality Go Together?

…if there is any principle of the (United States) Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other, it is the principle of free thought—not free thought for those who agree with us, but freedom for the thought that we hate. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes, US Supreme Court Justice

Is there someone in your life you have, perhaps, forgotten? Is there some precious memory you have released and want to reclaim? Maybe now’s the time to remember, reclaim and reconnect.

The Power of Oneness

“That the message We Are All One, interrelated, interconnected and interdependent, with God/Life/One-another, is the one spiritual message that the world has been waiting for to bring about loving and sustainable answers to humanity’s challenges.” ~ Global Oneness Day 2017

As I’m sure many of you know, last Tuesday was the 8th yearly celebration of Global Oneness Day, sponsored by Humanity’s Team, founded by Neale Donald Walsch.

What follows is a bizarre true story of oneness, told to me many years ago by a dear friend who was there.… Read more

Does Your Life Have Purpose?

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I’m happy. I can’t figure it out. What am I doing right? ~ Charles Schulz, “Peanuts” cartoonist

I-love-you-life

My spirit guides and I often get questions about life’s purpose. Many folks feel life, especially in our seemingly chaotic world, has no purpose. Worse, they feel totally useless, like a rudderless ship at sea. They’re drifting aimlessly and sadly from one day to the next, from one moment to the next.… Read more

end-of-the-world

In case you missed it, the world was supposed to end last month on Saturday, September 23. That was the theory promoted by David Meade who calls himself a “specialist in research and investigations.” Oddly enough, Meade said he didn’t really expect it to happen. Obviously, it did not—at least not for you, if you’re reading this.… Read more

How To Predict the Future

The best way to predict the future is to invent it. ~ Alan Kay

welcome-to-the-future

It doesn’t take a psychologist to see why so many people are totally stressed out today. Our world is experiencing more chaos and confusion than it has in recent memory, or perhaps ever. The stress can take many forms: illness, broken relationships, anger, fear, depression. And the litany goes on.

People are frantic in their search for peace of mind. One place they search is the future.… Read more

I realize the title for this post sounds crazy, but bear with me.

Every year around this time we get large flocks of Canadian geese coming down from Canada to spend the winter. Our winters in Wyoming can be brutally cold. But I guess the geese think the winters in the Canadian West are even worse.

I’ve always been intrigued by geese and their behavior.… Read more
