Sexual union is a holy moment in which a part of Heaven flows into the Earth.

This is [her] soul group.__hat do you mean?__t__ a group of souls with whom she resonates closely.

...Dreams come to tell us something about our lives that we are missing.

I don't think that anything happens by coincidence... No one is here by accident... Everyone who crosses our path has a message for us. Otherwise they would have taken another path, or left earlier or later. The fact that these people are here means that they are here for some reason"...

Inspiration is what keeps us well.

We can become inspired to shape a higher, more ideal future, and when we do, miracles happen.

We must assume every event has significance and contains a message that pertains to our questions...this especially applies to what we used to call bad things...the challenge is to find the silver lining in every event, no matter how negative.

We humans always seem to take a manipulative posture. No matter what the particulars of the situation, or the subject matter, we prepare ourselves to say whatever we want in order to prevail in the conversation. Each of us seeks to find some way to control and thus to remain on top in the encounter. If we are successful, or our viewpoint prevails, then rather than feel weak, we receive a psychological boost.

In reality, there are no enemies; we're all souls in growth, waking up

Apparently, before we are born, each of us experiences a vision of what our life can be, complete with reflections on our parents and our tendencies to engage in particular control dramas, even how we might work through these dramas with these parents and go on to be prepared for what we want to accomplish.

Remember to stop as often as necessary to re-connect your energy. Stay full, stay in a state of love. Remember that once you achieve the state of love, nothing nor anyone can pull more energy from you that you can replace. In fact, the energy flowing out of you creates a current that pulls energy into you at the same rate. You can never run out. But you must stay conscious of this process in order for it to work. This is especially important when you interact with people.

...the basic stuff of the universe, at its core, is looking like a kind of pure energy that is malleable to human intention and expectation in a way that defies our old mechanistic model of the universe--as though our expectation itself causes our energy to flow out into the world and affect other energy systems.

When we dislike someone, or feel threatened by someone, the natural tendency is to focus on something we dislike about the person, something that irritates us. Unfortunately, when we do this--instead of seeing the deeper beauty of the person and giving them energy--we take energy away and actually do them harm. All they know is that they suddenly feel less beautiful and less confident, and it is because we sapped their energy.

We humans have always sought to increase our personal energy in the only manner we have known, by seeking to psychologically steal it from the others--an unconscious competition that underlies all human conflict in the world.

...The human perception of this energy first begins with a heightened sensitivity to beauty.

The reality of the Life Review is becoming part of our every day understanding. We know that after death, we have to look at our lives again; and we__e going to agonize over every missed opportunity, over every case in which we failed to act. This knowledge is contributing to our determination to pursue every intuitive image that comes to mind, and keep it firmly in awareness. We__e living life in a more deliberate way. We don__ want to miss a single important event. We don__ want the pain of looking back later and realizing that we blew it, that we failed to make the right decisions.

The awareness begins with a feeling of restlessness__n inner urging to find more meaning in life. As we respond to this inner prompting we begin to notice the __hance coincidences___trange synchronistic events in our life. We begin to realize that some underlying process is operating our life.

When love first happens, the individuals are giving each other energy unconsciously and both people feel buoyant and elated. That's the incredible high we call being __n love._ Unfortunately, once they expect this feeling to come from another person, they cut themselves off from the energy in the universe and begin to rely even more on the energy from each other--only now there doesn__ seem to be enough and so they stop giving each other energy and fall back into their dramas in an attempt to control each other and force the other__ energy their way.
