"Living with the truth, the willingness to face facts turns out to be liberating and empowering, not a cause for fear."
by Bill Isaacs and Volker Brendel
Bill Isaacs: In this moment we have a remarkable vessel for letting the light shine. There have been countless cycles of history stretching back as far as human beings can see that have been setting the conditions for the emergence of an experience that allows the light to shine. Our ability here—to the extent that we actually exercise it—did not just arise unaided. It is the fruit of a very particular thread of history stretching back centuries. This thread, woven by life, has sought to bring conscious awareness again into the field of human experience. You might think, observing this now, that it does not seem like much. But that would be too limited a view. There have been relatively few containers for the emergence of conscious Being. When they do arise, they carry immense power and far-ranging impact. Coming to see the significance of this radiant stance, and more, to actively participate in it, is one of the great tasks of this age.

"Practice gives us the container. Discernment gives us the navigation."
by Sanford Baran
This is our first Tone of Life Zoom gathering in the year 2026. It’s wonderful to be together at the start of this very auspicious new year. I was straining to find some significance to the date 2026 or the numbers 2, 0, 2, and 6. Here’s something: If you add these numbers up, they sum to 10. And if you sum those up, the one and the zero, it reduces to the number “one.” So there you have it: 2026 is the year where it’s recognized that everything is one!

"As our solar system moves ever more deeply into galactic pneumaplasm that simply does not support low-vibration life forms and their behavior, the depravity and destructiveness of disconnected man simply cannot persist."
by John Gray
It’s the December holiday season in many societies. The eight-day annual Jewish Festival of Lights, Hanukkah, begins at sundown today. This year, Christmas comes right after Hanukkah. And then Kwanzaa, an annual cultural celebration of African-American heritage. Kwanzaa concludes as calendar year 2026 begins. However—and far more significant than these man-made celebrations—it is again almost solstice time for planet Earth. As we know, solstices mark the points when the sun appears at its highest or lowest position in the sky and then “stands still” before reversing its path into the coming season. This is how things are interpreted by human beings looking out from the surface of the planet anyway. May it also remind some of the Earth’s relationship with the focus of our solar system, both physically and spiritually. For us, now, this is a perfect time, as it always is, to stand still and silent before the Lord of all.

… a sense of change is in the air, a shift in atmosphere, time speeding up.
by Suzanne Core and Laura Fisher
Suzanne Core: Good morning, everyone! It’s so good to see each of you as we gather again to sound the tone together. These are unprecedented times. This is an unprecedented hour, and it will be fun to see what the Lord has in mind. Among the themes Laura and I have been considering is “entertaining the Lord.” Uranda once said, “Our first business, always, is to entertain the Lord.”

"As this purification continues to take place in our hearts, we see the world differently and the world changes."
by Maureen Lakin and Larry Krantz
Maureen Lakin: A warm greeting to you all this morning, this afternoon, or this evening.
Last Sunday at the Tone of Life gathering, Christina Pivarnik, Allen Guisinger and Andrew Shier shared their experience with horses. They spoke from their hearts of their love for these beautiful horse-beings and, in turn, the horses’ responses of devotion, love, and trust. Christina read a poem called, “The Painted Horse of the Wind.” There was a line in that poem, in reference to this horse, the essence of which I’ve carried in my thoughts this past week: “He came not with noise, but with Presence”.
