To amplify is to take what exists and make it more so. You can amplify a feeling or a thought; you can amplify a reality or an imagined experience. Some times appear more amplified than others. That’s just how it is.

If you aren’t aware of what is going on, within you or around you, you can add to the chaos and fear in the world through your attention. When it gets fixed on a sadness or an anger, and you dwell there, or engage in a test of willpower, those elements will be amplified. If you attend to a flower or a raindrop or a frog, that is what will be amplified. If you bring awareness to the fundamental love that runs in your veins, the resonant energy out of which you are created, then that is what you will amplify out into the world.

That which you amplify becomes more so, and informs the shape of the world. When you want a solution, be careful not to amplify the problem as you perceive it. Note the problem, of course, but focus on solutions. Keep in mind that one solution is never enough; nothing is ever that simple. Keep in mind also that you are not required to solve the world’s problems alone. Instead, we recommend that you amplify the experience or the framework of solving, into which input from many sources may be received and out of which many types of solutions may emanate.

Amplify the qualities you wish to have more of in the world, not the narrow one-time solutions or reasons or approaches, but the energy of solving, the energy of rationality, the energy of approach. Bring in the essence of the healing activities you seek, and ground them. They will grow, exponentially. They will amplify.

It is like shining a bright light on everything. Brightness, as well as illumination, as well as that which is illumined, they all grow. ❀

Truth, if you let yourself know it, is the thing that sings in your blood. It is knowing what is resonant, and the compassion to use it. Truth is not blind following, nor static, nor even always just. But it is, it exists, and you know it. The job is to stay in its light.

There is a song of truth, beyond ideas; the melody is a simple one. As more voices and instruments are added, it becomes the symphony of life.

Now it is true there are falsehoods, also, and these can mute the sound. You know the false note when it rings out, and you know – if you investigate – whether or not it had cause. Sometimes a thing is false by omission, or ignorance not yet healed. Sometimes a falsehood behaves like truth when further information has yet to be revealed. But truth in its naked glory, a sobering sight to behold, will have acres of space and light abounding and cannot be misunderstood.

It’s OK if you told a lie sometimes, but don’t pretend it is true. Everyone is false now and then, out of fear, or hunger, or trying to survive. But be truthful with yourself. Do not try to hide. Lying to yourself is the fast way down to destruction of body/mind/heart. You know, do you not, when you lie to yourself, you become the least trustworthy being around?

You deserve wholeness, you deserve love. You can only receive what you’ve made space for. When you lie it blocks your receptors, and then the world starts to shrivel and twist. After a while you are lost to yourself, and to others, a miserable way to exist.

You are, in fact, a beacon. You shine the light of your essence out into the world. There is truth in your existence that you may be unaware of, but that does not mean it is false. Ignorance, in this case, is no joy.

Consider this: a young child, a small animal, a bird – are they not true in the world? Do they not deserve pleasure, not pain? Do they deserve safety and love? The truth is that everyone here has a purpose, and everyone is trying to get by. There is much to contend with in the material world, and it can never be wholly understood.

But here you are, like everything else, a being of light and love, of damage and pain, of reality. Here you are, truth be told, spirit in material form, doing the best you can in an impossible situation. But you persist.

Respect your truth. Be resonant with truth. Seek truth at every turn. And know this: Truth is the path to everywhere, this path forever yours. ❀

Ground is where you come from and where you shall return. Ground is what holds you, every day, in your life on this planet. Ground is where you go when times are tough, when you require sustenance, when you need a rest. Home. Here. Now. Ground is where you are born.

Ground waits for you, supports you, is available to you no matter what chaos is raging around, above, or inside. Ground is where you send misery to be composted. Ground is the practice of making sure you don’t short out, that your circuits can hold all the power you need, that you won’t burn up or burn down. When you are afraid of anything, go to ground.

Sending your roots into the earth is an idea whose time has come. It is a recognition of your relationship to Home. Here is the place you took form for this lifetime and here is the life you have borne. This is the time of existence in 3D form. Here you are, and here you stay until the day you are gone. Before you came here, groundwork was laid for you. When you depart, ground will reabsorb your bones.

Ground has the capacity to take the unused and transmute it to beget something new. No matter the age of your soul, you are born from the ground of all that came before, in your mindstream, your lifetimes, the history of your soul, and the people into whose legacy you come. You bring with you your intentions and beliefs and trials, with which to test yourself. Here you are and here you stay. On this earth. This ground. Right now.

Ground is the basis for everything here. Your body is earth. Your heart. Your mind. The idea of ground is the dirt you have assimilated into the bones of your being. Ground is the structure on which your being rests.

Just as a painter, a gardener, or a builder prepares their ground, so was this ground prepared for you. The vast open plains of your lifetime. The seeds, the colors, the brick. What you need is here within you. To remind yourself of who you are, you simply touch the ground. ❀
