Just as there is a range of sound beyond what the human ear can hear, so is there a range of vision that is beyond the sight of our physical eyes. The vastness of creation in all its dimensions is barely glimpsed through the limitations of the physical senses, and yet it is constantly and subtly influencing all that we …

As higher light streams into our world, ripples through human consciousness, and brings the first glimmers of illumination into global communications networks, it reveals the full extent of world pain and suffering. The impact of this revelation stirs sensitive hearts to awaken and respond, moving to aid and to point the way to that realm of conscious being where pain …

There’s a kind of magic in the moment when we turn over to a new page on which to write, its pristine purity inviting the best we can express. It seems to magnetically call for something that resonates with that clean clear space. How much more magical is turning over to a new year. In that brief pause between the …

As we enter this new year, we may find that expectations and hopes based on previous patterns and worldviews are not fulfilled as readily as those open to something new and fresh.

As that need becomes more urgently clear, so does the heart response intensify. Wherever we look, either immediately around us or through the global media network, points of need within all the natural kingdoms are being …
