In MSIA, we chant Hu. Hu is Sanskrit and is an ancient name for God. When you chant, you can pronounce Hu like the name Hugh or say the sounds of the individual letters H and U. Hu is the ultimate highest sound. Spirit motivates all things. The Sound created by the Spirit in its movement is the two tones H and U. These two tones, one positive and one negative, encompass every tone and every sound that exist in the universe. When you combine them into one tone -- Hu -- that tone is within all other tones. In this new dispensation, mankind is moving increasingly into the heritage of the Hu-man; each person is becoming the God-man. Initiates of the Traveler who chant their initiation tones (or the Traveler's students who chant the Hu tone) are becoming more specifically and consciously the God-men and the God-women of the new dispensation. Ani-Hu is a variation of the Hu chant. Pronounced "ahn-eye-hu," it is also an invocation to God with an added dimension that brings in the quality of empathy and oneness with others. If you have misunderstanding within yourself or with someone else, you would probably want to work with the Ani-Hu. If we could really know what is in the hearts of our "enemies," we would never do another thing to hurt them because there is already enough hurt. All we do is stand back and love them. The Ani-Hu can give us this compassion.

If you seek the Kingdom of Heaven, you're going to find it. If you don't seek it, you are still going to find it; it's just going to take a little longer.

By getting away from your physical body, by getting high enough in consciousness, you find that everything is here and now.

When you actively choose what is already happening, you take ownership of the situation and cease to be a victim of it. Even when all hell breaks loose, if you can say, "I love this and I love me, regardless," you will not feel as if you are at the mercy of life's ups and downs. You may need to say "I love this" more than once before you start to feel better, but once you start, you won't look back.

The main thing to keep in mind when doing spiritual exercises (s.e.'s) is that the only wrong way to do s.e.'s is not to do them. Perhaps the easiest way to do s.e.'s is simply to be open to receive whatever is there for you at the time. You can call in the Light and ask to become attuned to the Traveler within you, and then chant Hu, Ani-Hu, or your initiation tone. If you are new to s.e.'s, you might do this for ten minutes a day, more if you like, of course.

What is ignorant and what is weak can be enlightened and strengthened in the process of prayer. It is done automatically. It is done because a conscious appeal is made to the Divine.

Part of integrity is to support your personal choices of freedom in your relationships with others and, in fact, in all that you do. That is, your behavior "out there" will match the inner freedom you have determined for yourself. When you have matched your inward freedom with your actions with every person and in every situation, something else appears. Although that "something else" may seem intangible, it is real enough to be part of a formula for your success. It is something that is whole and complete, an integer, something that cannot be divided -- thus, integrity.

You are a creator and, in that sense, an originator of communication. During your stay in this world, your highest calling is to communicate by every act of omission and commission a sense of loving. If you do that, then at the end of this short existence, you stand in that consciousness of loving where the ultimate communication just is.

The antidote for lack is gratitude. Gratitude is a choice, an attitude, an approach towards life. My gratitude for this moment does not depend on what is going on in this moment; it is the moment, regardless of what is going on, that I am grateful for. My gratitude for this breath is not about the breath. It's that I am breathing, that I recognize it comes from a higher source, and that I am alive. Gratitude is a moment-to-moment celebration.

When we become attached to our illusions ("money is the answer to everything," is one example) and cannot let them go, we are making what is "not self" -- the illusions -- part of "self." Then these illusions, disguised as "self," begin to erode the very foundation of our worldview. As we reinforce our illusions, it becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish true from false. We cling to ideas that separate us from the true self. These positions aren't truly "ours" because they're not arising from the true self. They're the vehicles through which the false self seeks to maintain control. As we learn to discriminate between what is true for us and what is a product of someone else's belief system, we are no longer so loyal to our illusions. True to ourselves, we lead a healthier life physically, mentally, and emotionally.
