「在這回顧過去一年，決定是否為未來作出新的選擇的時刻。放慢腳步，停下來，靜靜地反思一下，過去的種種選擇有沒有幫你實現預期的目標。此時此刻，我想告訴你：如果你想活得平安幸福，你只需做一個選擇。事實上，這是你唯一的選擇，只要你真心渴望幸福與平安。
在新的一年裏，決心以你的臨在證明『所有人都是被爱着的』吧。你的寬恕會帶來療癒的喜悅，不要讓著喜悅遺漏任何一人，也不要因任何一人的故事而偏離你的目標。放下你的罪與咎、匱乏與痛苦、以及否定了你的完整性的一切吧，你的本質是愛，你沒有不去愛的理由！我要你去愛，因為除此之外，沒有任何要求配得上上主的神聖之子。
在新的一年裏，決心成為上主的天音吧。除此之外，你其他選擇的目標都定得太低，因而無法真的滿足你。在這一年裏，決心透過祂的眼睛去看，以祂的天心判斷萬事萬物的價值。祂的耳朵會告訴你該聽什麼，祂的天音會將真理傳到世界的每一個角落。
在新的一年裏，決心用你的信心架起一座橋樑，讓所有人藉此踏入愛的世界吧。你一旦接納自己在上主救恩計畫中的任務，救恩就會輕而易舉地透過你延伸出去，如此，你向世界證明了『透過寬恕，愛答覆了所有人的所有需求。』
面對我的這些提議，你如果開始懷疑自己的決心，將我對你的信心納為己有吧。讓我成為你信心的橋樑，如此，他人必會因你而生出信心。把我對你的十足信心視為己出吧，這信心既是我的，必也屬於你，是它把我們緊緊聯繫在一起。在實相中，你既找不到我的起點，也找不到你的終點。只有小我的世界才會妄造出我們之間的分別。
你無需擔心這個目標實現起來有多難，更不必擔心你的決心能夠維持多久。你只需選擇一刻，在那一刻裏與我同在即可。下一刻，當你準備好時，再次攜起我的手，如此而已。當你明白了每一個神聖一刻都是圓滿具足的，就不會再害怕失去得救機會了。
在新的一年裏，決心成為上主的天音吧，因它是你的真相。下定決心，接納你因著成為真正的自己，而將真相所具的一切（平安、喜樂、愛……/譯者注）帶給全世界的能力吧，唯有給予出去，你才會知道自己早已擁有。唯有成為每個人都在愛中的見證，你才會接納上主所承諾給你的真相。
現在就加入我的行列吧，只要我們同行，慧見之光就會透過我們，答覆並治癒世界對分裂的渴求。一旦加入我的行列，所有的心靈都會找到，並領受我們的一體性所蘊含的平安與力量，只要我們攜手同行，所有的心靈都會憶起愛的真相。」
A New Year's Guidance
I have asked our Brother to give us a message to begin the year. This is what he has said, and I want to share it with you. Love and blessings, Tom

"This is the time when you review your life and decide if you will make different choices for your future. Pause for a moment and reflect on whether this process has ever fulfilled the expectations you have had for it. I ask you to consider there is but a single choice you must make if you would bring happiness and peace to your life experience. Indeed, just this one choice can you make if peace and happiness is what you truly want.
Resolve to be the Voice for God. All other choices expect too little and so must leave you unfulfilled. Resolve that it will be His Eyes you use to see, His Heart to decide the worth of everything. His Ears will determine what you hear; His Voice will speak the words that all will know to be the truth.
Resolve that by your presence everyone will know that they are loved. Let no one escape the healing joy of your forgiveness! Let nothing of his story distract you from your goal. It is time now for sin and guilt, lack and suffering and every other denial of your wholeness to be put aside. There is no reason for you not to love! I ask this of you because to ask less would be meaningless to the Holy Child of God.
Resolve that your strength of trust will be the bridge across which all may walk to find a loving world. As you accept your role and allow God’s Plan to effortlessly unfold through you, you have become the world’s witness that love through forgiveness answers every need.
If, as you consider these things that I suggest, you are tempted to doubt your resolve, then in that moment use my strength of trust in you. Let me be the bridge to your place of trust, as I ask you to do for others. Accept my assurance as though it were your own, for such is the bond we share. There is no point where I begin and where you end. Only in the ego’s world can distinction be made between us.
Do not dwell on how difficult this may seem or how long you can hold to your resolve. Join me but for a moment and let that be enough. Then join me for another moment when you can, and another after that. See each one complete unto itself and you will have no fear of loss.
Resolve to be the Voice for God for that is what you are. Decide that you can give the world all that this implies for only in the giving of it will you recognize that it is yours. Only as you are witness that everyone is loved can you accept God’s promise of what you are.
Join with me now that together we are the vision that answers and heals the world’s need for separateness. Join with me that together all consciousness may now find and share the peace and strength that is in our Oneness and remember at last what it means to Love."
