• The Emissaries • This is a special moment. We are in a beautiful clear space of unconditional love. Empty all that you’re holding onto and all that is holding onto you! You are a divine being made only of love—here to use that love to create beauty, connection, and wholeness in light. Honor your worth!
Humanity has already chosen love, and is so loved that all the galactic forces are now helping and assisting to elevate the Earth. This will unfold in extraordinary ways that will boggle the human imagination. The human heart is breaking…OPEN! Singing opens the channels of the heart. Prayer is surrender to a higher power. Breath is Spirit!
Seek joy in daily moments. Freedom comes through joy and laugher—laughter that is a complete surrender of the ego. Express joy! Smile! These open higher portals.
Your spirit knows it is eternal. You cannot fear what you laugh at from beyond the ego. Your human incarnation cannot go on forever, nor does it need to. Thus, do all the good works you can on Earth, while you are able. And be content; your spirit knows it is eternal and has every resource it needs.
The new Earth is underway—know that! Broadcast that! Be the light! There is more beauty than chaos. Celebrate the beauty. You are safe. See beauty…create beauty. Let the chaos go…. Together, we are the Builders!
About the Builders, Sunburst Founder Norman Paulsen wrote:
The Builders became the guardians and caretakers of the galaxies, caring for the evolution of all life-forms. They first visited this solar system at a remote period when the planets were still trying to achieve stable orbits around the newborn sun. They marked this solar system as one which might produce and support organic life forms. The Builders eventually returned and seeded planet Earth with a variety of organic plants and life forms. Returning periodically to check the growing organic gardens in this system, they strengthened where it was too weak, and discouraged where it was too strong. They helped balance out the forces of Mother’s nature…and will again!
• Diane Hope • The holidays often bring joy—but they can also stir the ache of absence. At Sunburst Sanctuary, we understand grief not as something to fix, but as a guide. It points us inward, asking us to feel, reflect, and connect with the love that endures beyond presence.
Grief is a teacher. It reminds us that the bonds we hold in our hearts never truly break. When we allow ourselves to sit with our feelings, we cultivate awareness and compassion—for ourselves, for others, and for life itself.
Sunburst teachings invite us to lean into this inner presence. By acknowledging loss, we awaken clarity, resilience, and a deeper capacity for love. The people we’ve lost continue to shape our lives through the love we carry, the choices we make, and the way we engage with the world.
This season, grief and love can exist together. One does not diminish the other. Honoring those we’ve lost means feeling their impact fully—welcoming the lessons of absence, embracing the growth it inspires, and trusting the enduring connection of the heart. May this season bring presence, compassion, and the quiet strength of love that never fades.
What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us. – Helen Keller
• Diane Hope • photo at Sunburst 11/14 • There’s something deeply humbling about the feeling of mud between your toes. It’s soft yet firm, cool yet alive — a reminder that no matter how far we drift into the speed and noise of modern life, the earth is always there beneath us, waiting for our return. Grounding isn’t about stability as much as it is about relationship — a remembering of where we come from, what we’re made of, and how deeply we are held by something larger than ourselves.
We spend much of our lives hovering — in thought, in worry, in what’s next. But the moment our feet meet the ground, something shifts. The stories quiet. The breath deepens. The heart softens. Mud doesn’t care who you are or what you’ve done; it simply receives you. There’s no separation between the soil that nourishes a tree and the soil that welcomes your feet. It’s the same living matter that holds the seeds of growth, decay, and renewal — the full rhythm of existence.
When we allow ourselves to truly feel the ground — not as a surface we walk on, but as a living being we’re in relationship with — something ancient awakens. We begin to sense that grounding isn’t just a human need; it’s a universal language. Every creature, every root, every raindrop is part of the same pulse, the same quiet heartbeat of the earth.
And in that remembrance comes tenderness. The kind that doesn’t need to fix or strive, but simply to be. When we reconnect with the ground, empathy naturally follows — not as an idea, but as an embodied truth. We remember that what supports us also supports everything else. That the same mud we stand in holds the worms that aerate the soil, the water that nourishes crops, the minerals that become food. Our belonging isn’t personal — it’s shared.
So this November, as the light fades and the air turns inward, take a moment to pause and feel the weight of your own feet. Imagine the roots beneath them, the layers of life below the surface — ancient, unseen, but always present. Let the mud remind you that you don’t have to reach for belonging. You’ve been home all along.
