Amplify

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. ❀

Choice

Choice can be a challenge, or an opportunity, or an obstacle. Choice can open things up or go clunk. It depends on what the options are, and how soon you need an answer. If you are used to having choices, you may not be troubled at all. If Choice brings you to panic, you may need to breathe, and take a little more time. Your preferred choice may not be offered to you in the moment, in which case you can say hmmm, I see nothing I like, try again. Or hmmm, I will wait and see what else arises. Or even hmmm, I want something other than what is offered, and I will take myself elsewhere in search of it.

You are not required to accept as a choice that which does not suit you. Sometimes, on a dime, you have to make a choice that does not seem to take you where you want to go. You may need to suddenly turn right or left when you meant to go gaily forward. In which case you might travel around the block or take a different flight or make a U-turn when it’s safe or even just pull over to get your bearings. You are not required to stay with your choice any longer than it serves you.

Each choice leads to all other choices, so remember this when you feel trapped. Any choice will bring movement. Each choice brings opportunity. You will never be entirely certain of them all. Sometimes you just have to wait for things to clarify, like when you stop stirring up the silt in the pond and allow the transparent nature of water to reveal itself. Sometimes choice will make itself known only when you stop interfering with it.

Choice may sometimes appear to be kept from you, but very often you just need a shift. You may need to call in your allies (of the seen or unseen worlds), or go to court, or run away. You may need to take a leap of faith or go back to bed. You may need to throw it away and start fresh. Other choices, other times, will always arise. No choice lasts forever, not even the ones you regret. There is an overarching framework to your life, and you will always see Choice within that context, whether you recognize it or not. ❀

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. ❀

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. ✩

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. ✩

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. ✩

Communication

There are many ways in which beings communicate. Some use words or sounds, some visual or gestured cues. Some simply walk away or towards you. Some will be silent and still. Everyone – all beings – communicate with energy, and even if you want to deny it, you receive the energy as well.

When you trust your own perceptions and are well grounded and finely attuned, you will read beings and situations accurately, and will be able to respond with good cheer. When you don’t have experience or confidence or discernment, even the most explicit information given in your native tongue will seem foreign or impossible to interpret.

Try to be open and listen with all your faculties. Some information is given on the breeze. Be like a snake, taste the air with your tongue. Allow all you perceive to enter your consciousness, and then rest for a while, to let it settle and make itself known. In this way you are less likely to jump to conclusions, cause offense, or take umbrage.

Even if the process takes only seconds, the beats between communication and reception and response are hallowed ground. Sacred interactions happen there, in each moment. And, in that place, you meet your own sacred selves as well. ☼

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. ☼

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. ☾

Negotiation

Negotiation is the art of filling the space between two things that do not meet. Ideally, there are three elements present. First, respect. Each party honors themselves and their needs, as well as the needs and existence of the other. Second, honesty. Each party must tell the truth about their priorities and limitations, and where they can flex. Third, openness. Willingness to see things a new way, willingness for outcomes not previously envisioned, willingness to embrace new perspectives.

Negotiation is a learning experience. When you enter it, you think you know what is happening and who the others are. You think you know yourself. You may, if the experience is successful, emerge with some different ideas. Approaching it as a growth opportunity, you will move beyond problem solving to a place of evolution, which is always cause to rejoice.

We invite you: come to the table with a low a level of attachment. Simultaneously, understand and acknowledge what is of greatest importance to you. Hold this lightly, but with integrity, and trust your companions to do the same.

Enter into negotiation – whether with yourself, another person, a community or an entity of some kind – with good faith and an uplifted manner. Trust that all will be well, and make it your mission to find that place where everyone meets in ease. ☾

Clarity

Clarity depends on the amount of light you allow to shine through.
It is not a given. It is not simply a choice. Clarity comes from devotion to truth, unwavering commitment to what is real and transparent in thought and word and deed. When one seeks to manipulate, one will rarely have clarity. When one seeks the naked truth of What Is, clarity will arise to bestow its blessings.

If you are clinging to some notion of yourself as unworthy, not good enough, insufficient, you may find the quality of your thoughts to be stringy, cloudy, taut.

Not everyone is cut out for clarity.

It can have sharp edges; it can sting. If clarity is what you are built for, however, the truth will bring relief.

Clarity brings with it a sense of relaxation, a sense of alignment, of seeing clearly and being seen. It is one of the qualities of the Source from which you came, the unconditional love of your birthright. Clarity will always feel like coming home.

In times of befuddlement, confusion, agitation, remember your essential nature is clear and bright. Allow the light of clarity to shine through you, to settle you and keep you awake. ☾

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. ❀

FlowerDeck

Truth

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. ❀

Kindness to others without kindness to oneself is incomplete

Kindness to others is only part of the equation. If you cannot find it in your heart to make friends with yourself, then where does that really put you in life? Very lonely and sad, and false, in a way.

You can be the kindest person alive, in the outer sense, but if you have insufficient kindness towards your own follies and foibles and faults, you will never convince anyone of your sincerity. You will never be as trusted as you long to be, for who can be seen as trustworthy when they mistreat their own dear self?

Then those around you live in fear or concern about the day it all falls down and maybe takes them with it.

A house divided against itself cannot stand, and so reserving kindness for those around you and limiting or restricting the kindness you give yourself will make a weak vessel, which ultimately must fail.

Remember, you are as deserving of your own kindness and generosity of spirit as anyone else, even more so. How will you do your good work in the world, if your structure cannot hold, and if you are forsaken by the one who should stand by you each and every moment of your life? ✩

Perfectionism: you’re doing it wrong

Perfection is not an ideal, dear ones, but a deadly, insidious disease. It kills dreams, it kills hope, it kills spontaneity. It damages relationships with self and with other, and encourages the growth of fear, grasping, and controlling behaviors.

In no way is the Perfect your friend.

In fact, although you find the idea a bit comforting – that there is someplace to end up that is unassailable, of course it’s a lovely idea – in fact it will only and always and every time let you down.

It doesn’t hold. It doesn’t remain.

Perfection happens in a fleeting moment, and dissolves again in the rapid blink of an eye.

There is no ground of perfection on which you can take a stand.

It is not right or good or infallible. It is only a breath, passing through.

Like this one.
And this next one.
And once again. ✩

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. ☼

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. ☼

Awareness

Awareness is a fleeting thing. The tricky part of being human is the tenuous connection with conscious experience. It is easy to disappear, and – naturally – so tempting.

Each small effort that you bring to the awareness of your present moment experience, to life as you live it, to thoughts and feelings and assumptions, all the nonjudgmental discernment that you can bring at any time, helps bring your soul into alignment and manifestation in your human life. So what, you might ask.

If you bring your Self more fully into this experience of being human, you will find more ease in your life. More importantly, you become an even clearer conduit for all the information passing back and forth between this human experience and the Oneness, or All That Is (aka Source, unconditional love energy).

When the transmission goes smoothly, you experience joy and peace of mind, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction. You know, deeply, that you are doing exactly what you came here for, even if you can’t say what that is.

It’s not easy to be human, but with increased awareness it is like the joy of strengthening your physical muscles. You become capable of so much more, with less effort than you thought possible. And, you don’t even have to sweat! ☾

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. ❀

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. ✩

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. ☼

Awareness

Awareness is a fleeting thing. The tricky part of being human is the tenuous connection with conscious experience. It is easy to disappear, and – naturally – so tempting.

Each small effort that you bring to the awareness of your present moment experience, to life as you live it, to thoughts and feelings and assumptions, all the nonjudgmental discernment that you can bring at any time, helps bring your soul into alignment and manifestation in your human life. So what, you might ask.

If you bring your Self more fully into this experience of being human, you will find more ease in your life. More importantly, you become an even clearer conduit for all the information passing back and forth between this human experience and the Oneness, or All That Is (aka Source, unconditional love energy).

When the transmission goes smoothly, you experience joy and peace of mind, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction. You know, deeply, that you are doing exactly what you came here for, even if you can’t say what that is.

It’s not easy to be human, but with increased awareness it is like the joy of strengthening your physical muscles. You become capable of so much more, with less effort than you thought possible. And, you don’t even have to sweat! ☾
