Don't avoid the relationship with your heart. Your heart of hearts knows the truth.

Charity is handling your level of agreement and responsibility so well that people say, "I'm glad you were here. I'm glad you participated in my life."

In time, you'll learn to reconnect with enthusiasm as quickly as you take your next breath. Breathing in awareness and breathing out enthusiasm becomes as regular as your heartbeat. As you make a habit of continually reconnecting to God's energy, the Soul replaces the personality as the center of consciousness. The Soul will still use the body, mind, and emotions as the vehicles through which it functions in the world. But instead of being distracted by your personality, you will be living in the crystal clarity of the Soul.

Q: Sometimes after doing spiritual exercises, I feel not quite "all back," but I need to focus and go to work. Any suggestions? A: You can chant the E sound to get "grounded." To do this, you say out loud a long, drawn-out "eeeeeee," starting with a low tone (as if at the feet), sliding up to a high tone (a little above the head), and then sliding back down to a low tone (back to the feet again). Do this at least three times. Doing a little exercise and drinking some water can also help get all your consciousness back into your physical body. It's a good idea to get grounded before walking, driving, and so on.

You may claim, as many do, that you are an intensely aware person. You are so intensely observing, forcing knowledge and awareness on yourself, that you forget to see the whole experience, and rise above it. Experience is valuable, but a dog can experience something and learn from its experience. Humans are able to get above the experience and observe it. They learn more from the observation than from the experience itself.

We're all students of the Spirit here. Once we are fully awake in the Spirit we realize none of us is less than divine, which can be an invitation to forgive any judgments to the contrary. We come in standing on equal ground with the Spirit. The same ground I stand on with the Spirit, you and everyone stands on with the Spirit. So if someone says "I got this message from Spirit . . ." or "Spirit told me . . .," attune to the Spirit within you. Check it out. Call forward the Light, ask for help within from that divine presence, and be open to the loving and learning that Spirit provides for you.

We can be in a state of doing, or we can be in a state of being. In a state of being, we don't have to do anything. All we have to do is just be here. That's pretty much what the Mystical Traveler is. It's a state of being. It doesn't have to perform.

Free will happens only when you're more highly evolved, because only God has free will. So, when you make your will the same as God's, it's free. But prior to that, you do the individuality. I usually call it "won't-power" instead of will-power. "I won't do this. No, I won't do that and you can't make me." In the free choice level, you can make a lot of choices and they're all free. Whichever one you make, though, institutes the next choices that come up. And we're held responsible for them, whether we like it or not. A lot of people don't want to believe that, but all they have to do to prove it is look at their lives.

The approach to karma should be that of dharma -- selfless duty. You don't beat your head against it, you move and do that which you can do. Often, in the stepping back from the tree that we beat our heads against, we can see the pathway through the forest. Then our approach becomes active or self-directed, not reactive. In Soul consciousness, we get above the forest and see where the trail is, and what's in there, and we walk very happily through the forest being of service, knowing we can get out, knowing there's nothing in there that we can't handle. Karma, on the other hand, is going through it in fear of the darkness, creating monsters that don't exist.

We get our prejudices through our eyes. But when we truly observe the world around us, we find ourselves with fresh eyes: We are no longer encumbered with prejudice against the world. Often we say, "I like that one and I don't like that one." How do you know? "I looked at it." But did you observe it? "No, but I know what I like, don't I? Why should I observe?" Take another look. Because you wonder why you do not get what you want. The things you do not want are what you attract when you focus on your judgments, resentments, and guilts.
