'God is the original joke writer.' How true! He is the original writer of everything - any inspiration, any ideas that come flowing through anyone, they always come from that Source. We are God experiencing Him/Herself in this earthly existence. After that serious bit, let's be mirthful again: RESUL...

Please, let's not get too carried away with the seriousness of it all and let's have some fun, too. But above all things, always check your email addresses very carefully! An Alaskan couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel ...

I treat them all the same - with love - without prejudice and an open heart. With love - Aquarius

Dear Astaroth, Wouldn't that be more likely than anything to get his hackles up and really get stuck into his destructive tendencies, under the motto: ‘I’ll show them all!’? I would prefer to try to get him involved in a discussion about the purpose and meaning of life. If he responded positively, I...

Sound advice, webwanderer! It's because of Universal laws that this happens - the law of Karma - what we send out into the world does come back to us. Any bread cast onto the waters of life, any love and friendship given, will always return to us - the same as everything else that we give out. This ...

‘I feel embarrassed to need -- now that's a clue! I don't need friends, but I do want them. Why? To feel connected.’ Dear Friend, I cannot see any reason why should you feel embarrassed about your need for friendship and love in your life, other than that of your family. If you feel the need for the...

The greatest problem that is facing humankind at the moment is that the mind of the mind of the earthly self has the greatest difficulties when it comes to understanding the mind of the Highest Self and the wisdom and the intelligence of the Universe. Yes, Heidi, we are young Gods in the making and ...

'But in the awareness beyond thought is Truth, and that generally trumps thinking.'

Ah yes, but are you aware that the awareness beyond thought is thought - that the great intelligence of the Unverse is pure thought and that from pure thought all lifeforms are created? With love - Aquarius

Were you by any chance born into one of the Air signs? They think their way through life. The keyword for each of the four elements is a different one. Water says: ‘I feel’; Earth: ‘I serve’; Fire: ‘I create’; and Air: ‘I think’. To give you an example of how this can reflect itself, let us look at ...

'Abiding Love which has no opposite -- (but the more we talk about it, the more we add layer upon obscuring layer, over that Blinding Light -- that IS us all).' We are part of It and It is part of us. How right you are! It prefers to express itself in doing rather than saying, don't you think? With ...

Dear Onceler - the perfection we are seeking is wholeness, i.e. integrating ever more of the qualities which our Divine parents are bestowing upon us. By the way, it's highly unwise to ever sit in judgement over anyone, because we cannot possibly know their Karma or the life lessons they have come t...

Dear Friend - I do not believe that anyone can sell us the secret of life; no wonder that none of those succeeded who have tried in the past or are doing so now. We all carry it within and it is for us to discover what it consists of. With love - Aquarius

This lifetime is an extra special one because it presents everybody with many opportunities for becoming initiates and for finding some true enlightenment. As by now we have a much better idea about God’s nature and our own, clearly this cannot consist of what the Buddhist call Nirvana. God’s energy...

'I don't think I could have recieved better teaching by a "spiritual teacher". And, he did it for free.' Don't you think that life itself is the best spiritual teacher of all - it's meant to be! When we have learnt to pay attention to it and also our inner guru - our intuition - of our own accord we...

'Prince Gautama found that human suffering was everywhere outside of his royal palace -- even Jesus concluded that the poor will be with us always.' And do you know why? Because their condition is karmic, as all conditions are. It is also because the people involved in any kind of suffering - and I ...
