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.
First, there is no “veil,” no separation between you and us. That’s a story humans have invented.… Read more
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
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
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
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
You would think in this super-connected world we live in no one would feel lonely. Communication is literally instantaneous, even across thousands of miles. And yet there is an epidemic of loneliness plaguing so many people all across the globe.
One of our readers wrote me recently. With her permission, I want to share with you part of her letter:
I’ve been thinking of our last conversation with Spirit and how you told me I already know everything.… Read more
People often tell me their hearts are breaking when they see all the huge, seemingly destructive changes on our planet today. It’s tough time to be human, especially for those without a spiritual foundation—and challenging even for those with a spiritual support system.
My dear friend and brother Ted Murray publishes Messages from the Heart, a free daily service. I’ve been following Ted a long time now, and thoroughly enjoy his inspiring, uplifting writing.… Read more
I think many of us postpone our dreams (and our happiness) until later. It could be when “I have the perfect partner, the bank account, the big house, etc., etc.”
That often turns into many years—or maybe never. Why? Often it’s because we are scared to death to be ourselves, to believe in ourselves.… Read more
For most of the years I’ve been on a conscious spiritual path, I’ve been seeking enlightenment—just like almost everyone else I know.
But lately I’ve discovered the truth about enlightenment—we do not need it.
We realize our title is a strange statement, perhaps startling even, for some. A logical question you might have is, “How can I NOT need enlightenment, especially given the seemingly chaotic conditions on our planet today?”… Read more
In a recent letter, a reader wrote us, “I, for one, would love to hear what Spirit has to say about these times we are living in.”
So without further ado, here is Spirit.
Humans have been predicting and dreading the destruction of life on earth, the end of your world, for centuries.
Guess what? The world really is ending.… Read more
Many years ago I was a commercial pilot. I’ve always loved flying, and still do.
One of the things I love most about it is that exhilaration I always feel as the plane is rising above the clouds and up into the sky.… Read more
I think that God gives you your own will and choices. I don’t believe that we’re supposed to drag ourselves through life defeated and and not see God’s blessings. But you have to make the right choices and follow that still, small voice within you….that’s how God leads us. ~ Pastor Joel Osteen
A few weeks ago I was visiting family. A couple days later, one of them called me to ask if I could remember seeing her car keys when I was visiting. … Read more
Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard tells the story of Father Pierre Ceyrac, a Roman Catholic Jesuit priest and missionary. For 60 years, Father Ceyrac cared for over 30,000 children in India. He lived to be 98 years old, spending almost all his adult life caring for others.
Here are some of Father Ceyrac’s thoughts:
Despite everything, I’m struck by the goodness of people, even those who seem to have their hearts and eyes shut.… Read more
Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard tells an interesting story about two of his friends during the monsoon season at his monastery in Nepal. He was sitting on the monastery steps as the two friends approached. Because the courtyard had turned into a muddy mess, the monks had created a path with bricks across the mud.… Read more
The past couple of months I’ve been looking through my old files from when I first started channeling years ago. I came across this short message we’re publishing today.
Of course, I and my channeling have changed and grown since those early days.… Read more
According to a survey by the Australian company, finder.com, the most common reason people fail to keep new year’s resolutions is setting unrealistic goals. And about 10% of the survey participants said they made too many resolutions.
Sound familiar? I did all that for many years. But no more.
There are reminders of the holiday season all around us, no matter what we celebrate—Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Ramadan, etc. Or you may not celebrate at all. Or for you it may not be “the season to be jolly,” Perhaps the opposite, for whatever reasons.
Our world is seemingly in a mess, and for personal or global reasons it can be a depressing time for many.… Read more
One of our greatest joys in spirit is seeing humans celebrating, and just plain having fun.
Many of you are very good at that during this time in your linear calendar. But not always so good at it the rest of the year.… Read more
Even if we don’t pay attention to the mainstream news, it’s hard to avoid knowing about the heart-wrenching humanitarian crisis with the Syrian refugees. Some of us may not even know where Syria is.
Many of us live in countries who are mostly at peace, a luxury Syrians lack. Yet we often focus too much on what we do not have, instead of the blessings we do have.… Read more
ForbesI didn’t make the Forbes’ list of billionaires this year. Doubtful I’ll make it next year either. But I do know a secret that makes me deserving of the list.
I know with complete certainty that the world is limitless, abundant and strangely accommodating. I also know that anything I could ever need or want is as easy to manifest as plugging in the toaster.
This Thursday, for example, I’m flying to Florida to hang out with Anita Moorjani, Bruce Lipton, Nick Ortner, Mike Dooley and lots of other inspiring peeps.… Read more
Mountain Climbing ChallengeA couple days ago I finished a “21-day meditation challenge”—the name Deepak Chopra has given his periodic free meditation courses. He presents each of the series with Oprah Winfrey. Their latest, Manifesting Grace through Gratitude, ran the 21 days from July 13 through August 2.
As always, it was a pretty powerful experience for me.… Read more
The Heart of GodThis past year or so I’ve become a serious student of A Course in Miracles. It’s had a profoundly powerful, positive effect on my life and work.
As some of you know, I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church, but drifted away from it as an adult. I wanted nothing more to do with traditional religion.… Read more

I’ve loved dogs all my life. My family and I have been blessed to have many of them as beloved members of the family over the years.
My spirit guides also have a fondness for dogs (and all animals). Here are a few words from them, taken from an article we wrote a few years ago:
“Your domestic pets, especially dogs and cats, are one of the greatest gifts humanity has ever received.… Read more
Guardian AngelPeople often ask us how to talk to their spirit guides (or guardian angels). Well, they’re sometimes surprised when we tell them their guides or angels are always right there with them — and want to talk to them.
What do they have to say to us? Their messages are always filled with love and compassion. Here are some of the things my spirit guides say they want to tell us.… Read more
The Adventure of LifeTo my great joy, a few days ago, the English language edition of my book, The Adventure of Life, has been published at America Star Books.
The book offers a journey through all sorts of places, events, and meetings. How do we get there, who do we deal with, and above all, what do we do with it? We may live life just as a series of events that pass us. But if we try to interpret every incident, we do something and we go on with the feeling of having learned something.… Read more
