Intensity
However you slice it, Intensity is always relative. Like the story of how to boil a frog, it depend on what you are used to experiencing. If you are used to a lot of drama and hardship, less intensity will feel foreign, boring, perhaps even dangerous or sad. If you are used to a peaceful life, intensity may be measured in how beautiful the sunset was tonight, and not in how many gunshots were heard near your home.
Intensity has a volume control knob of a sort, but it goes in multiple directions. Intensity is a multidimensional experience, and it all depends on where you stand. Not everyone enjoys intensity, but most people have a kind of intensity they enjoy, or a level at which they feel more alive. Intensity in and of itself is neutral, but the experience of it is always subjective.
When you are looking for intensity, it is easy to ramp it up. If you can’t find it in one place, you can keep moving until you find it somewhere else. If you cannot find the intensity of love or joy or pleasure, you can find the intensity of anger or mischief or running for your life. You can strike out at various targets, intentionally or with whatever comes to hand.
Be aware of the level of intensity you seek, and how you inspire it. Ask yourself what it is you are hoping to find.
You may actually be looking for love. You may be seeking inspiration. Perhaps you are hoping for a response to you, any reaction at all, just to tell you that you are alive, you are visible, you are seen. But be cautious – who do you want to see you, acknowledge you, and why?
Consider both the source and the purpose of your intensity, and notice the methods by which you engage, and the outcome of your approach. When you are easily overwhelmed, intensity finds you without being invited, and you may need to consider better protection for your psyche. When you are looking for just a thrill, you might ask yourself what you are running from, which of your gifts you are avoiding, what inner self you are forsaking in your quest.
There is enough intensity in life for life to flourish. If you have not found your way to harmony with all of it, and to your ability to calibrate for your particular needs, keep experimenting. It is a process without end. ❀


Include
What we mean by this is to include your whole self in your regard. Include others’ whole selves as well, the parts you agree with and the parts you do not. The parts that annoy you and the parts that attract. The parts you find acceptable and the parts that repel. Include it all.
You are more than the sum of your parts, but without the entirety of your self, you will never be all of yourself. Making particular demands on yourself in order to include aspects in your regard is called conditional love, and believe us – It Does Not Work.
Nobody responds well to rejection, which is exactly what exclusion is. When you decide to only love your body at a certain weight or fitness level or functionality or behavior on command, that is excluding entire huge swaths of your own very human condition. It is unreasonable and unnecessary and it does not get positive results.
Have some curiosity about aspects of yourself you have rejected. What if it is included, in the package of you, to have warts? What if it is included to sometimes belch? Are you allowed to get older and wrinkled? Are you allowed to have folds in your skin at all? There is no stretching and growing and becoming without those folds, so you might want to include them in your inventory of things you cannot live without.
To include the whole kit and kaboodle, of yourself and of others, is to accept a cosmic invitation to a mysterious and intriguing joy ride. You can be prickly and sweet. You can be intelligent and also not bright. You might mean well and do poorly by someone.
Each human is a walking box of paradox, and the sooner you can accept all your bits and pieces, the sooner they will seem to fit together. And that makes you whole. And that makes you greater than the sum of all your parts. Even the ones you dislike. They have something to offer as well, you know.
Some people feel that anger is a distasteful thing. Now to be angry all the time for no reason and to take it out on others, that is an annoying habit that will not get you anywhere. But mostly this kind of thing happens when a person rejects their own anger, vowing that it has no home, it is bad, it is wrong.
When anyone is excluded like that, they are liable to bang on the door. Anger does have a place in the world, and in the human experience. There are plenty of times it is called for and it brings, ultimately, protection. So it requires inclusion for any human to be whole
Bring your whole self with you, wherever you go. ❀


Delight
The emotion of delight is often confusing for humans. There are so many elements to feel all the time, about feelings one is having and whether or not one should. For some reason, over time, humans seem to grow shy about the simple, deep directness of delight.
Delight is fundamental. It is simple. It is safe. It is a blossoming sensation, arising from within the heart and mind. It can be as easy as a laugh, breaking forth in spontaneous combustion of the soul, a little blip of joy escaping and then bursting like a bubble in air.
Delight is sometimes anticipated, which can either increase or decrease the actual experience of delight. Your choice. Your view. Your perspective.
Allowing yourself to be surprised by the world – for some people, that is a challenge. But for the moments when you rest in confidence of the space the world holds for you, any beauty, any connection, any glimpse of the holy nature of existence can bring delight.
It is not often thought of in scripture, but simply to be in the world is the delight of the gods, who cannot fully incarnate because of their nature. They find delight everywhere on Earth. They do not, as some worry, delight in the suffering of mortals. But they do wonder, occasionally, at the lack of delight mortals show.
When did you all become jaded, and tired, and spent? Do you not glance up in your dusty cell to note the fragile beauty of the new-spun spider’s web? And do you not, when she catches a fly, delight? Not for the woe of the insect entrapped, but for the demonstration of the arachnid’s art, and of course, the prospect of their supper. And do you not, for that moment of delight, forget the sorrow of being yourself, trapped in the world?
Delight is the path to liberation, spiders, flies, et al. ❀

Your purpose here is to become yourself
It is a common question among humans – why am I here? What is my purpose in life? It’s very simple, really. You came here to be this person that you are, and one way or another you will get the job done.
The question is beautiful. Please, never stop seeking meaning for your life.
The basics, you know: kindness, generosity, honesty, humor, love. The details are tricky, the execution sloppy at times, but you keep going, becoming, and growing, into your being, your life, your skin.
We love you very much, and all your foibles, too. Don’t worry so much. Things are coming along just fine. When you can make improvements, we have every confidence that you shall. In the meantime, try to enjoy the view.
Please understand a salient point: you have destiny, and you also have free will. Destiny means you have a plan, and it is engaged, and you have options, to follow or to alter the course. Mostly you will follow the plan, though there may be some detours along the way. So, you can relax. And free will means you might not get everything done. You might decide to go another way sometimes. This is perfectly allowed. ✩


There is always movement somewhere
You may feel stuck or frozen at times, or lost, like things are not moving along the proper channels. But there is always something happening, whether you know it, or like it, or not. There is not really a thing such as stuckness, though it might be a feeling you have, or the interpretation you make, when things are slow.
You may be staring too hard in one direction, missing the flow happening right beside you, or towards the back, or just under the surface. Sometimes it helps to remember that this is the case. Sometimes it is easy to forget.
Try not to get so caught up in staring at the stuck bits that you believe that is all there is.
Nothing holds still forever, for better, or for worse.
Everything moves and changes.
Even if the things you want to be moving appear to be standing still, it is not generally the case.
We just want to say, it’s much easier to relax if you understand this simple thing. Even in the depths of difficult times, when movement seems impossible, somewhere in the world a bird is singing, and the ice has begun to thaw. ✩


Inside every being lives the same tender heart
While you may feel revulsion, anger, or smugness when you see a difficult person, remember, they too long for love. They may not express it in the most appealing manner, but they wish to be safe and understood and belong to the tribe.
Everyone has been wounded, and everyone is doing the best they can. Each being has advantages and disadvantages; learning to work with oneself is a lifelong practice. Some people are lazy, some are mean, some are unable to be aware, some are unkind, some are frightened, some are out of touch. Some mean well, but cannot figure it out.
Many variables exist. You can understand this because you have had all these experiences as well.
When you are having a bad day, have compassion for yourself. When you are having a good day, remember you are one of many, either way. And when someone really gets your goat, please keep in mind that their heart is tender, just like yours, and like you they wish only to be loved.
No, you don’t have to agree with them. Sometimes you might even need to fight them. But please do not lose sight of your common ground, or else it will be hopeless. If you cannot recognize yourself in your enemy’s face, you still have a long way to go. ✩

Respect
Respect must always be mutual. Respect must always be earned. There are two elements to respecting someone. The first is that you carry with you as a baseline the attitude of respect. You respect all life and even inanimate objects, as a matter of course.
The second element is the earning of respect. Do not grant respect above your baseline to any who have not earned it. This level of respect implies intimacy and vulnerability, and must be reserved for those whom you trust.
When other people do not respect you, you may offer the minimum of respect to them, as a matter of self-respect, as a matter of ethics, morals, or integrity. But to offer them too much in response to too little is to disrespect yourself, and all those who have come before.
Respect is a lifeline, a way of being in the world, it is true. A fundamental approach to one’s life. Do not treat it lightly. Demand it and earn it from others, and give it deservingly or not, as best you can.
Do you understand respect? Take time to consider it for yourself. It is, as they say, an inside job. ☼


Devotion
Some people think devotion is a state of enslavement, but in our view devotion is a state of liberation.
When you are devoted, it is an unshakable knowing of the truth of your path. Devotion is unwavering, uncomplicated, and free. Devotion is saturation in unconditional wellbeing, resting in the total experience of love.
Devotion is not a mental construct. It does not suck you dry; it fills you up, from the inside out, with energy and the will to carry on. It is not that you feel no pain in devotion – everyone’s stuff is still stuff, after all – but you may not perceive it as suffering. Devotion is confident in all the right places, and as such, no suffering needs to be borne.
The relief of devotion is palpable. No more energy wasted on questioning, worrying, weighing possibilities. The future, while not assured, is of little concern.
Devotion has a way of sharpening concentration, and allowing everything else to fall gently to the wayside. When devotion arises, it knows little else, but with devotion, what is known is everything.
How do you know if you are devoted to the right thing, person, precept, notion, practice, or ideals? You don’t. That is what devotion is for. To set aside the questions. To know. ☼


Connection
Connection means all beings meet at the Source. It is not something generated or imagined or perceived; it is factual and cannot be otherwise.
You cannot exist without all who have come before, and all who are currently here, and even those who come later. By “all,” we mean not just people, but dogs and pigs and bugs, rocks and leaves, and everything else. Everything arises from the same cosmic pool of energy, and, after this lifetime, all disperses back to the pool again.
So indeed, you are interrelated, all beings must be. How else could all of this arise? Bring respect and love to your actions, your thoughts, your desires, for together you are building reality.
You must bring what you want to experience. You want love? Bring love. Satisfaction? Cultivate it so you have enough to share.
Longing to feel positive about your place in the world? Shine that light on others, and your experience of it is assured.
Source is unconditional love, and everything – even that which seems distorted – is the product of trying to manifest in a conditional world. It’s not easy to exist here, so be kind to yourself, and all beings, and keep doing the best you can. It all comes back around. And home. You will always come home. ☼

Intention
Every intention has unintended consequence. So what? There are consequences to being unintentional as well. If you shy away from what you are intending, you have less voice and more trouble.
When you are clear and upfront with your intention, it is easier to see what fits and what doesn’t. You can continue on your path, if you know what your purpose is. Sometimes you might be sidetracked or make a detour, but clear intention gets you back on the trail without fear.
Intention acts like a beacon on a stormy night. It sets the tone for your life, and shores you up when your energy flags. Your intention for this lifetime can be deduced, if you are not quite certain, by how you have spent your time thus far.
Is your intention to accomplish your goals or is it to live in perpetual fear? Here is a secret: everyone intends to do what they came to do. And pretty much everyone does it, one way or another. Whatever does not get done will be waiting for you in the next lifetime, so you can do it now or then, but your hair is on fire, they say.
Look back over your life, look at your current life, and look at the plans you have for moving forward. Where is your intention in all of it? What are the strands you see woven throughout? What’s missing? What feels right? Where is the joy, the sorrow, the satisfaction?
Your intention does not need to be set so much as it needs to be recognized. Then you will know what to do, and why, and how. ☾


Progress
Progress means movement, usually forward. Sometimes you need to go back to go forward again, because of an error, or unforeseen circumstance. This, too, is progress.
Progress is also inevitable. It can mean the glacier creeping along towards the ocean at a pace of an inch every few years. It can mean the fast retreat of the glacier, in response to its current experience. Progress does not always mean things get better. It does not always mean things go according to plan. And it rarely means things go the way you think they should. Have you noticed?
And yet time marches on. Things do progress, in the sense that things change and do not revert to an original state (whatever that would be) or at least not a state without evidence of what has occurred. Movement and memory, time and space, everything elastic and yet never quite returning to its particular shape. This is the nature of progress.
It happens whether you want it to or not, so you might ask yourself, “How do I get along with this movement, or stuckness, this evolution, or this resting place? How can I Be in this world of time and space, when in fact I am a multidimensional being of light and love?”
Good questions. Keep asking. ☾


Grace
Grace is as inherent in your day as sunrise in the morning. You may not see it. There may be heavy clouds, dense drapery, or no windows where you are. But the sun rises, every day, and grace is not far behind.
When you require grace, seek it out. Grant it to yourself, even if you cannot feel it. Grant it to others, even if you don’t know if they deserve it. Grant it everywhere you go, trusting in the power of the light to bestow itself on everyone without question, judgment, or hesitation.
Grace is that moment when the glass did not break, although it fell. The moment you paused before stepping off the curb, so were not struck by the distracted motorist.
Grace is when the child across the room sees you and lights up, for no apparent reason. Grace is when you smile, reflexively, and the other one smiles back.
Moments of grace in the day or night are infinite. If melancholy has taken hold, then the counting of instances of grace will be your salvation.
As you count, grace is drawn to you. Like shining a light on all the magic of the world, you illuminate it for yourself and others. ☾

Ground
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. ❀


Path
Path is what lies before you, even as what lies before you may be out of view. Path is what brought you to this place in time, all of your past steps and errors and disbeliefs. Path is where you stand or sit or rest right in this moment, always moving, yet also always still. Path is the arc of energy you walk throughout your life, half in faith, half in confidence, never really knowing where it leads.
There is a continually unfolding quality to Path, the mystery that abides even when you think the way is clear. There is always a fuzzy spot on the horizon, which cannot be seen distinctly, but which inexorably draws you on. It is the nature of a lifetime to unfold; the center is not revealed until completion. But the center is within you and continually guides you, whether or not you feel conscious of this truth.
There is an idea some have about Path, that it should make sense, that the outcomes are preordained, that one thing will lead to another, that consequences can be understood and weighed before they are activated. But if you look back, you will notice how much of your life could not have been anticipated, no matter how much information you gathered, mulled over, and analyzed. You may also notice that however much you believed you knew what you were doing, you surely did not. Conversely, times when you were less confident, unsure what steps to take, you were guided, absolutely. That deep inner wisdom which resides in your very center has never, ever left you.
Your path has only one purpose, and that is to lead you more deeply into yourself. No matter where you are, which branches you explore, how often you go one way or another, or feel lost, you are always on your path. This is it. This life, this arc of time and space, this meaning you ascribe. Wherever you place yourself – each moment, resting, moving forward – is you and Life living your Path. Trust this. ❀

All life is an expression of love
Everyone came into existence on the physical plane as an imperfect expression of unconditional love. Imperfect, because if you show up on Earth, you are living in conditional reality, and therefore cannot easily express your true essence.
This is the basic difficulty of being human, along with the powerful illusion of separateness from each other, and the loss of feeling a part of All That Is. But this is why you are here. You are trying to learn things that cannot be learned in any other way. You are trying to experience and express those aspects of being which can only happen here.
It is not easy, but it is important. Necessary. Because all of this is in fact interconnected, and if you bring conscious effort to believing that, behaving as if it is so, and experiencing your life this way, then you have moved everything forward a step, towards harmony, peace, and truth.
You do not have to do this. But this is what you are called to do. You choose whether or not to answer. Some days you might sleep in. There is no punishment, or shirking of duty. There is simply showing up, waking up, sending out and receiving that which is the true life force, that which we call love. ✩


Inside every being lives the same tender heart
While you may feel revulsion, anger, or smugness when you see a difficult person, remember, they too long for love. They may not express it in the most appealing manner, but they wish to be safe and understood and belong to the tribe.
Everyone has been wounded, and everyone is doing the best they can. Each being has advantages and disadvantages; learning to work with oneself is a lifelong practice.

When you are having a bad day, have compassion for yourself. When you are having a good day, remember you are one of many, either way. And when someone really gets your goat, please keep in mind that their heart is tender, just like yours, and like you they wish only to be loved.
No, you don’t have to agree with them. Sometimes you might even need to fight them. But please do not lose sight of your common ground, or else it will be hopeless. If you cannot recognize yourself in your enemy’s face, you still have a long way to go. ✩

Solitude
As they say, no one is an island. But from time to time, it is useful to isolate your Self, away from all that is known, that knows you, that distracts you from your center. Everyone needs privacy, and the security of alone time, to connect with their inner self.
Solitude is where the source of you resides, and must be visited from time to time. When you lose touch with your sacred inner Self, the fire of confidence grows dim. You lose clarity, insight, and truth, when you go for long stretches of time away from Home.
This Home, inside, is forever available to you, and yet you do not recall it when your days are full.
Solitude is respite, and sometimes lonesome, and always vital to your integrity of Self.
When you visit yourself on the island inside you, rest a while on your
own sweet shore. Even if the rocks are rocky, and the sand gets in your crevices.
Home is where your heart is, and your heart, inside, is Home. ☼


Joy
Joy is found in secret places, not always expressed aloud. Joy is a small thing, a large thing, a sensation beyond description, but you know when it arrives.
You may have noticed that any attempt to generate joy for the sake of joy very often fails. If it is joy you seek, bring joy to others, any way you can. If you do not know how to do this, then ask, observe, watch others, and learn what it is, this thing called joy.
Do not assume about joy. It is a quiet thing. It will let you know when it wants to come play. If you allow it, then you will eventually know it well. If you live your life in such a way that there is room enough for joy to visit, eventually joy will make a home with you.
Make friends with joy, nourish joy, and introduce joy to everyone you know. But you cannot command joy.
Joy does not come at anyone’s beck and call.
Joy is the result of a joyful life, not the cause of it.
Do not confuse the initial impulse with the outcome. ☼

Emergence
Restrictions are not what they seem. The more solid they appear, the less power they have over you. The time is coming – here it is now! – when you will discover yourself emerging.
Not unlike the butterfly. Once it was a caterpillar who, for reasons unknown even to itself, saw fit to create a cocoon. It spun the structure around itself and then dissolved. What else was there to do?
And yet the day came when the structure thinned and the daylight shone through and before it could give a second thought, the butterfly emerged.
Now, many people believe the butterfly to be beautiful, more desirable, superior to the worm who spun the sac. But how would it even exist, without the original worm?
No butterfly ever emerged who did not have a caterpillar past.
So, love the whole arc of your story, and don’t worry about the pace of things or what you are supposed to do now.
Remember, even a butterfly has no idea, at first, what to do with its wings. ☾


Presence
You may find that to be less present in this moment is a very good choice. You may find that to bring yourself more fully into presence here and now is worth the effort. Only you can choose.
If your presence is affected by your unresolved past, you may not be able to choose.
You may find yourself not being here as much as you’d like, or you may find that you prefer not being here now, or maybe you can’t help it. You may find that you disappear from your own experience at the drop of a hat, that you must leave to avoid further pain. However, at some point what began as self-preservation becomes abandonment of the self.
You have become choiceless, and you might not realize it.
What is the point of presence? Here you are. If being here is a good thing, you could show up and enjoy it.
If being here is a neutral thing, you might as well be here, because where else would you be (and what if something interesting happens)?
If being here is not a good thing, you need to be within yourself fully so that you can take your whole self with you when you go (yes, you are allowed to go). ☾

Tension
Tension is the feeling of standing between heaven and ground, the space which all beings occupy. There will forever be tension here, the pull of the planet’s gravity versus the siren call of the wild blue yonder, the elements of earth and air.
When humans acknowledge the tension of simply existing, they can actively use it to benefit all of life. When they try to deny or disregard it, then tension is embodied and causes strife.
Your neck and shoulders: what are they rejecting?
Tension does not have to end in explosions. We would like to make that perfectly clear. Sometimes it’s fun to blow off steam, but only if the steam does not burn you.
Tension is the pull of the polarities, the moon and sun, the time and tide of life on this dear planet that gives you so much. It is the quality that allows the bug to skate on water. It is the element that keeps the boulders up the hill.
You can rely on the tension of gravity to keep you in your place. When you defy the tension you can grow stronger, through stretching, and lifting, and running and jumping in place.
But know what it is that you play with, so you explore tension with respect. Be aware of the tension of anger, of sorrow, of fear, and the tension of happiness and love, the potential for bursting with the tension of news unshared. Please be aware.
And then comes the moment of death: tension dissolves, no longer holding you upright, no longer keeping the soul attached to the bones of the body at all. Finally, relaxed. ❀

All life is an expression of love
Everyone came into existence on the physical plane as an imperfect expression of unconditional love. Imperfect, because if you show up on Earth, you are living in conditional reality, and therefore cannot easily express your true essence.
This is the basic difficulty of being human, along with the powerful illusion of separateness from each other, and the loss of feeling a part of All That Is. But this is why you are here. You are trying to learn things that cannot be learned in any other way. You are trying to experience and express those aspects of being which can only happen here.
It is not easy, but it is important. Necessary. Because all of this is in fact interconnected, and if you bring conscious effort to believing that, behaving as if it is so, and experiencing your life this way, then you have moved everything forward a step, towards harmony, peace, and truth.
You do not have to do this. But this is what you are called to do. You choose whether or not to answer. Some days you might sleep in. There is no punishment, or shirking of duty. There is simply showing up, waking up, sending out and receiving that which is the true life force, that which we call love. ✩

Freedom
Freedom. It does not always mean you can do what you like. It can come from unlikely experiences. You can climb a hill and realize you are free to leap. But gravity will have the last word.
Sometimes freedom comes from recognizing and releasing the past. If you always face forward, or attempt to cover up what has come before as if it did not exist, you will find the rumblings of history disrupting your current events. Freedom in this case is the result of excavation and renovation, rather than denial and full steam ahead.
Freedom is mental, in general. There is bodily freedom of a kind, but the freedom of the spirit is not realized while kept in physical form. The mind, however, is free to roam at will. If you recognize this, and take care to cultivate an open and liberated mind, you will have as much happiness as your mind can hold, regardless of your physical reality.
Those with basic needs taken care of may scoff at this notion, but we tell you the truth. A hangnail bothers an unfree mind much more deeply and destructively than the lack of housing or food bothers a mind that is liberated.
Try freeing your mind, and when you get there, see if you agree. ☼

Grace
Grace is as inherent in your day as sunrise in the morning. You may not see it. There may be heavy clouds, dense drapery, or no windows where you are. But the sun rises, every day, and grace is not far behind.
When you require grace, seek it out. Grant it to yourself, even if you cannot feel it. Grant it to others, even if you don’t know if they deserve it. Grant it everywhere you go, trusting in the power of the light to bestow itself on everyone without question, judgment, or hesitation.
Grace is that moment when the glass did not break, although it fell. The moment you paused before stepping off the curb, so were not struck by the distracted motorist.
Grace is when the child across the room sees you and lights up, for no apparent reason. Grace is when you smile, reflexively, and the other one smiles back.
Moments of grace in the day or night are infinite. If melancholy has taken hold, then the counting of instances of grace will be your salvation.
As you count, grace is drawn to you. Like shining a light on all the magic of the world, you illuminate it for yourself and others. ☾
