Dear Pioneer of Inner Realms,

In my meditation one morning, just as I was dropping down, down into the silence, just before that moment when the mind gets left behind, this message came. I surfaced enough to write it down before going back into the depths. It was a wonderful contemplation for me, perfect for its moment. I thought it might be perfect for yours right now. Enjoy,

With love,

A Message From the Heart of Love

Your Own Personal StillPoint

Of course you already know, sweet friend, that meditation, nature, music and retreat are things that help access the stillness that is the doorway to StillPoint with its greater peace, knowing, illumination and intuition. These things aid one to step out of the stir and pause to listen. They are equivalent to your vacation with its relaxation and ease. However, what to do when you can’t take that break to step away from the fray? (more…)

• The mind lacks wisdom

• Let it go at the right time

Dear ,

So many people, including myself, are reporting feeling deeply and almost inexplicably sad at times. For me, it seems to come and go like a vapor or scent that engulfs me for a while, sometimes quite intensely, before dispersing. Perhaps you are also experiencing this? It’s about rebirth and what we are leaving behind.

I’ve noticed that when it comes upon me, my mind tries to attach to something that explains it. “I am sad about this thing,” my mind will say, “or that.” Often my mind suggests causes I think are long resolved, and this surprises me, causing me to think beyond the simple and easy suggestions of my mind. I’ve learned that in this, the mind is often completely wrong.

Knowing that the mind will always explain the what and why of things – that’s its job after all – we must also be smart enough to question the mind. Because the mind has experience but not necessarily real wisdom.

“No,” I often think, “it is not always as my mind says, that I am sad about this or that familiar thing, frequently not.” Over time I’ve come to understand that sadness is frequently part of something far more wonderful and mysterious happening.

As my understanding grew I began to recognize sadness as a treasure and to wonder how to clarify it, wanting to write down this insight for my myself and to share with others. Then, one happy morning I picked up my copy of a favorite book, one I often return to. Reading, I discovered to my delight that I no longer needed to write about my new view of sadness. Someone else already had done so, masterfully and beautifully and with great illumination. (more…)

Dear Life-Dreamer,

I had a very special dream experience recently, one that alters and prepares you for big shifts. I was told that while the dream is certainly personal to me, it also applies to each who finds it here. Since you are reading this, that includes you, sweet friend. It is here for you to experience and marvel at, as I did.

In Which I am My Higher Self Tending to Me At the End of Life

I was caring for a young and beautiful blonde woman who looked very much like me. Noticing this, I had a realization of being my Higher Self, caring for she who is my earthly self. While I cared for her, the tending became helping her thru her life which was filled with many obstacles. (more…)
