<br />
<br />This morning I came across this video as a tribute to our military personnel. I wanted to post it for you, because I believe it has value because it speaks of Love.

<br />Remember Me Video</a>
<br />
<br />
<br />My experience with the military coming from a family of three girls was limited until 1966 when my cousin Dan Zegarac was killed stepping on a land mine in Vietnam just three weeks prior to his completing his tour. His funeral was closed casket and with full military honors. If you've never experienced a military funeral, no words can explain how heart-wrenching the experience is. He was 19 years old.
<br />
<br />My father was a B-17 pilot in WWII. He flew 32 mission from Framlingham, England over Germany, He flew two missions dropping food to the starving Dutch in Operation Chowhound, and his last two missions were liberating French POW's out of Austria back to France. He spoke little of his war experience.
<br />
<br />My son is currently a Navy Pilot and has been to the Middle East twice, so far. Recently he has been detached from his flight squadron at NAS North Island where he was a helicopter pilot and instructor and is now attached to the USS Boxer at 32nd. St. The Boxer is in the yards for repairs and will be deployed next July.
<br />
<br />Along the way I have known other military families. I have watched fathers and sons be deployed and absent for long, long stretches of time. I have seen how these families cope and manage. They learn to love over long distances and large stretches of time. They learn that Love is the only thing that matters. They learn that the time we have together is right now and to make the most of it.
<br />
<br />Recently I had the opportunity to contribute as an author to a book, <a style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" href="http://www.sparklepresentations.com/store_books_heart_military.asp">Heart of A Military Woman</a>, compiled and edited by Sheryl Roush and <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Times,Times New Roman;font-size:100%;" ><b>Eldonna Lewis Fernandez</b></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span> which is being released December 1, 2009. If you'd like to purchase it, click on the title. I contributed a prayer. It goes like this:

Well, no kidding! When did we ever think that we weren't?<br /><br />What is so interesting to me is that scientists conduct studies about evolution only as it pertains to biology, as if biology and consciousness weren't inter-related. For example, in the study they conclude that due to natural selection, women in Farmingham, Mass (subjects of the study were participants in <a href="www.framinghamheartstudy.org">Framingham Heart Study</a>) will be 2cm shorter due to natural selection over time.<br /><br />However, no one studied the elements of the choices that were inherent in their selections for mating. Those elements of choice, which reflect the individual's attitudes, beliefs, and degree of awareness (consciousness), are what drove the selection choice initially.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Evolution of Consciousness</span><br /><br />Way, way back, Neanderthal people were highly developed physically. We suppose that they were not mentally developed. However, their choices (consciousness) drove them to hunt and track for food and survive their environment, which made the physicality highly developed.<br /><br />As 'time' marched on (long stretches of it), their "desires" for easier, warmer, led them to increased awareness for ideas such as fire, wheel, team work, etc. These "new" inventions, led over more large stretches of time to the physical changes right up to current day.<br /><br />The earth, mankind, the Universe, changes and expands with each and every new desire that issues forth from every single living thing. It is an elegant process, slow and deliberate, which creates the next version of what we see manifested in physical format.<br /><br />Steve Jones, an evolutionary biologist at University College London says, "Uniquely in the living world, <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">what makes humans what we are is in our minds</span>, in our society, and not in our evolution."<br /><br />Here! Here! Mr. Jones. Finally!<br /><br />We are choosing every single bit of our reality from the quality of our DNA to the quality of our fuels. Everything goes into the big mix, and when we come up with something (result) that we don't like, we desire something better, and thus the evolution and expansion of consciousness and physicality go hand in hand. We have the power to change our DNA.<br /><br />For now, though, it's lovely to see science knocking on the door of consciousness as the thing that drives absolutely everyone and everything.<br /></div><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-62991087757116536352009-10-18T12:06:00.006-04:002009-10-18T12:52:17.276-04:00Chicago: A City Full of LifeGood Day Everyone!<br /><br />I just took a weekend getaway to Chicago. Wow, what an amazing city! If ever I was going to live the "city" experience, it would be in Chicago.<br /><br />Years ago I did a marketing gig for the <a href="http://www.fourseasons.com/chicagorc/">Four Seasons/Ritz Carlton </a>hotels in the dead of winter in Chicago. What I remember most about that week there was <a href="http://www.walterpaytonsroundhouse.com/">Walter Peyton's Americas Bar and Grill</a> and dancing until about 3:00 am at which point they rolled out a free breakfast so everyone would go home sober. What struck me about that, and the whole city for that matter, was it's big heart.<br /><br />Going to Chicago is like getting a giant hug.<br /><br />I drove from Cleveland via the Ohio Turnpike, the Indiana Turnpike and the Chicago Skyway. Some $21.00 in tolls later, I was just in time for rush hour traffic. But hark! These people are even lovely on the freeway. Unlike Los Angeles or even my beloved San Diego, if you turn on your signal to change lanes, Chicagoans don't speed up to block you out. No siree. They actually allow you to get in front of them with a graceful hand gesture which seems to say, "Be my guest, please."<br /><br />Whoever designed the <a href="http://www.chicago-l.org/history/index.html">rail system, the "L"</a>, in Chicago was a genius. You can get anywhere you want to go from the distant suburbs and local neighborhoods. It's fabulous. And guess what else? They're clean, graffiti-free, safe and fun to ride. Who woulda thunk?<br /><br />Whilst there I was able to catch the musical, <a href="http://www.broadwayinchicago.com/shows_dyn.php?cmd=display_current&display_showtag=jerseyboys07">Jersey Boys</a>, the story of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Four_Seasons_%28band%29">Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons</a>. That, too, was superb. They replicated the sounds of Frankie Valli so much so that at first I thought they might be lip-syncing. I haven't enjoyed a show so much since <a href="http://www.mamma-mia.com/">Mama Mia</a>.<br /><br />I strolled about Millenium Park, went to the old Library which is now the <a href="http://egov.cityofchicago.org/city/webportal/portalContentItemAction.do?BV_SessionID=@@@@0576696547.1255882535@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccdadeiilkfkdmcefecelldffhdffm.0&contentOID=536899808&contenTypeName=COC_EDITORIAL&topChannelName=SubAgency&blockName=Cultural%2BCenter%2FGeneral+Information%2FContent&context=dept&channelId=0&programId=0&entityName=Cultural+Center&deptMainCategoryOID=-536884129">Chicago Cultural Center. </a>This building is absolutely magnificent and made me wish that I'd been able to come here when it was the functioning library. It's inspiring and beautiful. It sports two Tiffany domes and on the walls and ceilings are myriad mosaics with encouragements for knowledge and books.<br /><br />Whilst at the Cultural Center, I was able to see an exhibit of journalist cartoonist <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_T._McCutcheon">John T McCutcheon</a> (1879-1949). He was talented, insightful, and his cartoons dealt with many of the same issued we wrestle with even today. However, I was particularly charmed by this cartoon advertising a card game as a "Volcano of Excitement and Laughter".<br /><br />Then I went on to walk <a href="http://www.millenniumpark.org/">Millennium Park </a>where people were out strolling, playing, and generally enjoying the day outside without any complaint about weather, temperature, or anything. They were happy!<br /><br />Chicago is a fabulous town rich in history and with a good sense of humor and a large heart. It combines successfully all the benefits of a big city with the authenticity of Real Life. There is Love in abundance flowing in this town which is evident by the way it feels. It seems to say, "Welcome!"<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-43329195977512821242009-09-25T12:39:00.008-04:002009-09-25T13:15:16.614-04:00A Life Well Done<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMuMD5rftUtbbhtGqakTNzk3CrkkJkmS7IC2FuIwddD0TDZwoQ6sxmboQkQ6ZYb14cXwVOUzFoMByFtpflCMJizt6QSujA8oS7ub28ckB-aMcBQU3XZ-oj7lqUX__fTCxMMCkcS0uS2H4/s1600-h/DSC00986.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 127px; height: 140px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMuMD5rftUtbbhtGqakTNzk3CrkkJkmS7IC2FuIwddD0TDZwoQ6sxmboQkQ6ZYb14cXwVOUzFoMByFtpflCMJizt6QSujA8oS7ub28ckB-aMcBQU3XZ-oj7lqUX__fTCxMMCkcS0uS2H4/s320/DSC00986.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385453440123725106" border="0"></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4snLQjkEb0JHr4XbFxmhIb-pzyBk7ldCcnN10tP0Tdv3ZP2UecVgexu44CRYm-2UpirLOmwdK4zWMY4vB8Is1BE7J5vpVnC37bMbDIQiMuqx4TKjz6TnMfRw1CyP2w6rLmoxX_Kk-9aE/s1600-h/DSC00979.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 124px; height: 140px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4snLQjkEb0JHr4XbFxmhIb-pzyBk7ldCcnN10tP0Tdv3ZP2UecVgexu44CRYm-2UpirLOmwdK4zWMY4vB8Is1BE7J5vpVnC37bMbDIQiMuqx4TKjz6TnMfRw1CyP2w6rLmoxX_Kk-9aE/s320/DSC00979.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385452838877958226" border="0"></a><br />Hello Everyone,<br /><br />With the imminent release of my second book, <font style="font-weight: bold;">Well Done - A Story of Applied Spirituality<font style="font-style: italic;"></font></font>, it is irony that a dear friend whose life was indeed, well done, has passed away.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This post is in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0gXZTfuD1Q">tribute</a> to my friend, Jack Caldwell and soul mate, love of his life, and wife, Doreen.<br /><br />Jack was my neighbor in Descanso. He has been wrestling with <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_disease">Parkinson's</a> for quite a few years. In the two years previous to my moving to Ohio, I became close friends with the Caldwells. I would go over and do energy work on Jack and Doreen, but what I got in return was a deep and abiding friendship and the privilege of being in the company of a couple whose marriage I truly admired.<br /><br />Never did I hear a cross or demeaning word exchanged between them. Neither did one talk about the other behind his/her back. There was no sniping, sniffling or self pity. These two took the progression of Parkinson's in stride, each one adjusting along the way. Jack to increasing confinement and inability to communicate his brilliant mind and thoughts, and Doreen with her increasing responsibilities for his physical care and all the home, financial and business duties. Never did either one of them utter any words of regret or self pity. They fully enjoyed that they were together and appreciated that fully.<br /><br />The last time I saw either of them was at my farewell party which was hosted in their home so Jack could be there. With all that Doreen had on her plate, it was "no trouble" for her to host 60+ people to say good bye to me. I remember hugging Jack on that last day, knowing I would never see him again in the physical.<br /><br />But I left him with my vision of Jack: "Jack," I would say to him as I worked on him, "I see you standing on a Scottish Highland in your kilt, playing your bagpipes. You're hair's blowing and so is your kilt. You have a radiant glow on your face, because you're free and happy and well."<br /><br />Jack died on Wednesday, 9.22.09. That night I heard him playing his bagpipes in my ear. He is home, well, and happy. Although I confess a great sadness that I can't give him a squnch.<br /><br />Jack and Doreen emigrated from Scotland to America in the 1970's. They were a young couple and his trade was glass. They built a life, a family and a business here in America, in San Diego.<br /><br />Life goes on, both here in the physical and in the nonphysical. But what a great adventure you had here, Jack! Well Done, indeed. Your life was an occasion, and you rose to it!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />Kath</div>Kathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-32783939676220598122009-09-14T18:40:00.002-04:002009-09-14T18:41:31.649-04:00TechnoratidcwhkzqspfKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-64332115515250145892009-09-14T15:16:00.006-04:002009-09-14T18:09:43.912-04:00The Prayer of AppreciationGood Day Everyone!<br /><br />The single most effective prayer is the prayer of appreciation. <br /><br />What is a prayer of appreciation?<br /><br />Anytime you are focused on something and appreciating some aspect of it. It is the opposite of criticism. For all practical purposes, prayer is an internal attitude which you are emanating outward as your vibrational countenance, which by the Law of Attraction, Source is matching.<br /><br />The very best "object" of your appreciation which is in closest alignment with Source, or God, is appreciation of yourSelf. In short, loving and appreciation who you are is the closest vibrational match to God there is.<br /><br />Imagine that? <br /><br />Try this for a few weeks. Your intention each morning is to go throughout your day looking for things, people, ideas - anything - that you can appreciate. You intend each day to be the sleuth of those thinks that you like, that put a smile on your face, that make you twinkle back!<br /><br />After making this a habit, you'll see a marked difference in the things that are coming into your life. They get better and better. Do this long enough and your life choices go from where you began to good, to great, to wonderful, to stupendous, to fabulous...<br /><br />And this folks, is very simply how you change your life. It's entirely up to you and your choice of focus.<br /><br />Shall we start? Now.<br /><br />Thanks for reading,<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-26409405398253578392009-09-10T11:39:00.001-04:002009-09-10T11:40:25.265-04:00TechnoratidcwhkzqspfKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-35962651312748976082009-09-10T09:39:00.003-04:002009-09-10T10:12:08.643-04:00Irrational Fears: Separation AnxietyGood Morning Everyone,<br /><br />A few days ago the furor over <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/07/obama-speech-to-schoolchi_n_278763.html">President Obama's back to school speech</a> reached my awareness, and then, this morning the news about <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/09/gop-rep-wilson-yells-out_n_281480.html">Rep. Joe Wilson's outburst</a> during the President's speech last evening regarding health care reform.<br /><br />I confess I didn't understand how anyone could oppose the President encouraging kids to make something of themselves. I recall President Kennedy's famous, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" speech. Everyone was charged with becoming their personal "best". We studied, we applied ourselves, we even did the calisthenics programs he promoted to be fit. That's what leaders do, they encourage others to become all that they can be. Watch. <br> <object width="340" height="285"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VB6hLg3PRbY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VB6hLg3PRbY&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="340" height="285"></embed></object><br /><br />Our danger lies not without, but within each individual who feels the separation from Source, God, All That Is. When we cannot feel out connection, the love that that imparts to us, we are alone, naked, scared and see out through a human mind stranded in fear. From this place we are irrational, devious, and unreasonable. We cannot hear anything of Love, for we are on the frequency of fear. Love and fear are opposite frequencies. <br /><br />Make no mistake, both Democrats and Republicans alike suffer from this separation anxiety. Indeed, our whole nation suffers from it and this is what is eroding us - from the inside out. <br /><br />If a man awakes every morning, conservative or liberal, and believes he lives in a malevolent world with no support, no love, no eternality, no infinite possibilites, and in an indifferent Universe, he will do anything - good man or no - to feel safe.<br /><br />We are a spiritually poor nation. Organized religion has failed us, but our own efforts to reconnect with Who We Really Are individually are the route, now. The feeling of fear provokes within us a profound desire for internal peace, calm and rationality. This will guide us inward where each of us has our own, personal connection with God for comfort and Truth.<br /><br />Do not have the hubris to think this doesn't include you. For if you are someone who is waging war on anything - saving the wolves, saving Tibet, saving the environment, feeling hate and anger at conservatives or liberals, then, you do not understand the Oneness of all things either.<br /><br />It is each individual's job to find their personal alignment with Source daily - even moment to moment. This is unconditional Love: that external circumstances do not have to change in order for me to feel my Connection to Source. Can you say that? Can you do that? Do you even realize that is the most important awareness that you can take with you into your day? <br /><br />Even Jesus wasn't in Connection 100% of the time. He got angry in the temple and overturned the money changers tables. And on the cross he is said to have cried out, "Father, why hast thou forsaken me."<br /><br />If realizing out Oneness with God were easy, this world would look very different indeed. None the less, it is our quest, individually, to return home. Each prodigal is charged with this journey, for therein lies the answer to a world that is heaven on earth.Kathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-33756790140390442282009-09-06T11:54:00.003-04:002009-09-06T12:25:49.678-04:00Healthcare: A Right or NotGood Day Everyone,<br /><br />I so applaud us as a nation for undertaking the great debate on health care. Not because I have a vested interested either way, but because it opens up such a can of worms of beliefs that we must deal with first before we can come to any consensus of what to do.<br /><br />I'm thinking that at the heart of the debate of the forms of health care is the issue of whether or not health care is a right or a privilege in America. This is really something we've never talked about. We hash about the flag, and voting, and speech - but this is something we've never asked ourselves. And probably that's the first thing we should tackle before we attempt any reform in the health care system.<br /><br />As you can probably see, if we decide that it's a right, then it becomes something that we have to protect for each and every individual. Right away people divide into liberal and conservative thinking lines: more government or less government and the labeling starts to fly. As we all know, once labels start being bantied about, people stop listening to the idea if it happens to be coming from a source other than their particular political persuasion. From that point on it devolves into name calling and it gets ugly, nothing gets done, and all we do is squabble.<br /><br />If on the other hand we decide it's a privilege, then that doesn't feel right either, because it cuts against the core of Who We Really Are - love. But alas, love is not considered valid in a political debate. What to do? What to do?<br /><br />Complete and perfect health is our inheritance, our birthright just as freedom and joy are. The conundrum comes when we look out into the world and see so much of just the opposite. We know in our core beingness that everyone deserves complete and perfect health just as they are endowed with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our mistake is thinking that we can legislate such a thing, when it is totally a personal state of beingness that brings this to manifestation or not.<br /><br />Out of the human-mind's belief in separation from Source we have created a gigantic mindset of health, health care methods, medicine, hospitals, doctors, medicines, pharmacy, herbs, chiropractic, accupuncture, etc. to support the body, to create health, to restore well being.<br /><br />What has been forgotten is that the state of wellness is our natural state of being if we are aligned with It; that is to say if we have closed the gap of separation between our human mind's belief and our Godself knowing of only Well Being. When any individual closes this gap, complete and perfect health is made manifest in that moment. Modern medicine calls this a miracle, but in Truth access to this is equally available to each and every person.<br /><br />So, complete and perfect health is our birthright, just as all the other freedoms delineated in the Declaration of Independence. Realization of them is an inside job, applying our spirituality and creating deliberately the life experience we choose. The realization of heaven on earth is all about a state of being, not legislation.<br /><br />Is health care a right or a privilege? It's not a right, but the laws of love demand that we support individual physicality whilst they are actively gaining the consciousness of Oneness. Now how about a discussion of importance of applied spirituality with respect to health care and the sovereign ability of an individual to respond to Life and create their own reality.Kathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-43824588046573071352009-08-28T08:29:00.004-04:002009-08-28T09:07:07.321-04:00This Too Shall PassGood Morning Everyone,<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Recently Woody the Cat has been suffering a bout of <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/agoraphobia">agoraphobia</a>. Seriously! This is the same Woody the Cat about whom I have written previously. Mr. Neighborhood Ambassador, hunter <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">extraordinaire</span>.<br /><br />It's been a wee bit disconcerting. For about a month he's always here. Except for potty breaks, I hadn't witnessed him out and about, roaming, stalking, playing at all. This was couple with his being my second shadow, always doing his infinity movement at my legs, under foot, curled up tightly ON TOP of me.<br /><br />"Woody," I would say, "what's going on little buddy?" He actually spoke back to me with pathetic little squeaks or tiny sounds of explanation, known only to him. And he was sneezing, little tiny 'ah <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">choo's</span>'. A cold? A burr up his nose? A case of poison ivy? Yet, he wasn't sick, just in an extreme state of quietude and introversion.<br /><br />This went on for about a month, until Sunday night last around midnight. I scooped him up and said, "Buddy, you and I are going for a walk."<br /><br />It was a really beautiful night, starts out - especially where there were no street lights. I set him down on the side walk and coaxed, "Come on, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Woodyman</span>, let's just stroll about for awhile." I'd walk on ahead and look back to see his little shadowy figure sitting stock still on the sidewalk. I could almost hear him weighing up his options: run back for the cat door or follow me.<br /><br />When we lived in the mountain in San Diego with mountain lions, coyotes, owls, rattlesnakes, and bobcats, Woody the Cat and I would frequently go for night strolls, especially during the full moon. He loved these walks! He would shoot up one tree, leap to another and down again presenting himself back along side of me. "Did you see that!" And of course, I did. I would cheer and clap my hands for him.<br /><br />Now we were in the cityscape, and here was my fearless cat, scared to move.<br /><br />"Come on, little guy, you can do this. See? Nothing scary out here."<br /><br />Just then, a neighbor comes out her front door with dog on leash. I looked down to see Woody in a crouch. A good sign, I thought, he's not running but in the I'm ready for anything stance.<br />There he is! He's back.<br /><br />We walked on for awhile just enjoying the summer night together like old times. When we got back to my unit, I reacquainted him with the cat door.<br /><br />That night he brought me a present: not exactly sure what it was.<br /><br />I've often thought our domestic pets are like live-in angels. They take on some of emotional burdens and process them for us, so loyal and loving are they. Perhaps he was dealing with some of my stuff, of which I was no aware.<br /><br />At any rate, it is love that gets any of us from Point A to Point B. Woody the Cat has loved me through all the patches of my own human journey, and it was time to return the favor.<br /><br />It's been about a week now since our midnight jaunt, and Woody is definitely back. I watched him from my upstairs balcony last night stalking something in the treeline - being <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">himSelf</span> once again. Whatever it was, it has passed.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />Kath<br /></div>Kathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-77946203807218972272009-08-18T20:06:00.006-04:002009-08-18T20:39:52.686-04:00The Economy of Self EsteemHello Everyone,<br /><div style="text-align: justify; font-family: verdana;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br />I spend a lot of time noticing people, behavior, money and time. In 'this economy' It's the catch phrase these days, so I have to use it for Googling purposes. But people seem to be working harder and faster, taking on more and more with a sense of desperation.<br /><br />Perhaps they're fueled by the idea that the unemployment benefits are going to run out; or they have to find that job, right now; or I've only got a certain amount of severance, so I've got to launch this business pronto. Always we are thinking there's not enough - for me.<br /><br />It's precisely thinking like this that got us into this recession in the first place. No where else on Earth, save the UK, maybe, do people work so hard and so long for so little. It defies logic and common sense. I wonder how much we make per hour as a nation. Now there's a question. If we added up the earnings of everyone in the US, then added up the hours worked and divided that into the earnings, what would we be making per hour? I can assure you it would be a pittance compared to our True Value.<br /><br />This of course doesn't even take into account the "j" factor - you know, J.O.Y. Now, let's ask that question: how many of us really LOVE what we're doing? Preposterous!<br /><br />We've got it all backwards, because we think the harder we work the more money we will make.<br /><br />Forget the penalty in stress paid by the body. We work for those benefits, after all. We stick at jobs we hate, damaging our physicality so we can cash in on those benefits when we have that stroke, the heart attack or get the big "C" - which by the way we wouldn't have if we'd spent our days in joy.<br /><br />How the heck did we get here?<br /><br />I'd like to say it was a big conspiracy, but we all went along willingly like lambs to slaughter buying into the "American Dream" that the marketers were selling on behalf of the Banks, the HMO's, the insurance companies, and the pharmaceuticals.<br /><br />They package it up real pretty and sell it; we buy it lock, stock and barrel. We should have that McMansion, those cars, these clothes, this gadget and that particular widget. Then we'll feel like we've made it; we've arrived - then there will be material proof that we're good enough - at last.<br /><br />Hamsters on the wheel, we are. Hamsters on the wheel.<br /><br />What fuels this? Why could they sell us this crock?<br /><br />We have a national deficit, but it's not cash. It is a national deficit of personal and individual self-esteem.<br /><br />We are poor in Spirit. We are poor in Who We Really Are. We don't know our own value, our own worth, and we do not trust our own internal thought processes as valid. We don't think for ourselves, we don't question the premise, and we think they know more than we do.<br /><br />In the old days, I think they called it Common Sense. Today, we've all but abdicated our personal sense of what's a right and appropriate response to life. We trust 'them' to tell us what to watch on TV, what to wear, what to eat, what drugs to ask for at the doctor's, what symptoms to have, what beauty is, what to think about the 'news', and we do it it all. We follow so well.<br /><br />Nothing will change until we remember and value above all else, Who We Really Are - individually - you and me.<br /><br />When we truly trust our responses to life as right and appropriate; when we value ourselves, our opinions, our time, our talents, our very being as the precious and beautifully unique thing that it is - then, folks, the economy of our nation will thrive, because we individually are thriving.<br /><br />Only we can do this. Only you and I can begin the transformation of poor self esteem into one of personal high regard and respect. This is our job.<br /><br />Then, one day, in the midst of our work day, we will stop at least once and say, "I cannot believe they pay me to do this! I love my work."<br /><br />Imagine this.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />Kath<br /></span></div>Kathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-86039508694023806182009-08-09T14:17:00.005-04:002009-08-09T15:14:45.527-04:00Applied Spirituality Media EventHello Everyone!<br /><br />For a few months now I have been writing for several different online publications. This past week I was interviewed by <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.womensradio.com/content/PPLSearch.aspx?publisher=2">Pat Lynch</a>, CEO and Editor-in-Chief at <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://womensradio.com/">Women'sRadio.com</a> on her show Speak Up!<br /><br />Pat is a dynamo undertaking an enormous vision of creating a single place of resources for women (and men) in new thought, entrepreneurship, and way more. Just before she finishes one idea she's launched 12 more ideas. She is supported by her family, <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.yourspiritualhome.com/media/advisorycouncil.htm">Dave Barrett</a> guru at <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.audioacrobat.com/">AudioAcrobat</a>, her daugher <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kat Barrett</span>, and her soon to be son-in-law <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.hs.facebook.com/brianmball">Brian Ball</a>.<br /><br />I joined Women's Radio because they are a sincere and quality organization. They do what they say they're going to do and they are transparent. Pat's line up of interviews reads like the Who's Who of American Women including such notables as <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.gloriaallred.com/">Gloria Allred</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">, </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001007/bio">Dyan Cannon</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">, </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://democrats.assembly.ca.gov/members/a12/">Fiona Ma</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">, </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.realmedicineblog.com/author/martina/">Martina Fuchs</a><span style="font-weight: bold;">, </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.joanbuchanan.com/">Joan Buchanan</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>and many more.<br /><a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.womensradio.com/content/templates/?a=3946&z=11"><br />Listen to my interview</a><span style="text-decoration: underline;">.</span>Kathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-58860267796478827262009-08-05T10:35:00.004-04:002009-08-05T11:21:15.220-04:00Forgiveness: Who Are WE Really Forgiving?Good Morning Everyone,<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Recently I've been brought to my wee knees in a realization that first rocked me, then relieved me. I want to share it with you.<br /><br />Over the past few weeks, I've been vexed by several different situations.<br /><br />One involved a dear friend, whose personal situation really made me mad. Her situation didn't affect me in anyway, shape or form, but that she found herself in her situation really angered me.<br /><br />Another involved two dear friends of mine, married for a very long time, whose personal dynamic between themsevles angered me. <br /><br />Then, two situations involving me, where people failed to live up to their agreements, but also failed to realize how much value I had put into the situation, ignored that, and then, demanded even more of me as if I'd given nothing.<br /><br />I tell you these things, because I know that I am just like you. I walk through my days endeavoring to do my very best, to be more Godlike, to bring more love into the world and then, bam! Like Wylie Coyote, I find myself a puddle at the base of a wall wondering what the heck happened here.<br /><br />The "wall" was my inability to forgive. Everyday across America we pray: "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." All of us know these words, and pray them, but today I understand them. This is what I want to share with you today.<br /><br />Joel Goldsmith in his book, <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">The Thunder of Silence,</span> addresses forgiveness by saying that it is fundamental to forgivesomething that someone has perpetrated upon us by praying for our enemies. This is important and utterly essential if we want to see a changed world. However, the spiritual journey is about liberty and freedom. Where the spirit of the Lord is, <span style="font-style: italic;">there </span>is liberty.<br /><br />So the real spiritual journey is not about becoming good humans, but rather to realize our freedom. We need nothing from anyone. We release everyone from their obligations, when we realize our Oneness with Source, where everything is complete, fulfilled and whole. No one need to be or do something for our happiness.<br /><br />My big Ah-Ha! this morning was that <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">any</span> block in consciousness is an impediment to the realization of Oneness,not just hatred or anger. The obvious blocks are :he did this to me, but I choose to forgive and turn my cheek. But that's just the beginning of the True meaning.<br /><br />The rest of it is that any "judgment" on someone else: he/she didn't try hard enough, therefore didn't meet my expectations, do enough and so fell short in someway - these are seeing something other than God. This is buying into the belief of two powers, not One. This is the "lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil" part. The temptation to believe that there is anything other than God, Source, Oneness.<br /><br />Now, for the explosive kicker. By the Law of Attraction, these people, situations and dramas came into my personal experience one after the other, increasing the emotion of anger within me. By last night if I could have left myself, I would have. Instead, I went for a swim in the light of the full moon and asked for illumination, which I received this morning.<br /><br />These people, these circumstances came to me by the Law of Attraction. Like attracting like thoughts. These people, these circumstances are my mirror: they reflect back to me what I am thinking, believing about....me. Holy smokes.<br /><br />Only once before can I recall feeling this conviction so clearly. All at once I know it is True ;and it doesn't feel good to realize that which I perceive is me. I mean, UGH!<br /><br />But I pressed on this morning, because I want released from this prison of 'ugh 'that I've been feeling. I have kept myself in bondage; but the key to the prison door was in the realization that I hold these self same judgments, which I have transposed on to my friends, on myself. Oh, double ARG! And then, double Ah-HA! Relief.<br /><br />So it is not just forgiving others my perception of their shortcomings after all. In Truth I am to forgive myself - releasing myself from my own judgments and condemnations of my shortcomings and failings.<br /><br />Forgive me for failing to see that my human self is not, after all, Who I REally Am.<br /><br />So, miraculously once I got that big twig out of my own eye, I am able to see that the human self that others show me (my own human self) is not Who They Really Are and is certainly not Who I Really Am. That I was tempted to see something other than God, in them, showed me that I am seeing something other than God in myself. It is I who have bought into the human belief of duality - something other than Source.<br /><br />"Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Forgive <span style="font-style: italic;">me </span>for failing to see my own Oneness, Who I Really Am; and forgive those who fail to see the God in me.<br /><br />This is why we pray for our enemies: they are a gift to us. They are our mirror to show us our own consciousness blocks which block our own Realization of Oneness and block our liberty.<br /><br />Such Perfection for which I am grateful...and now I am relieved and feel Good once again.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />Kath<br /></div>Kathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-28500827206280945522009-07-28T09:08:00.003-04:002009-07-28T09:25:52.143-04:00Soothing Someone Back into Well BeingGood Morning Everyone,<br /><br />Recently I heard the best story. It involves friends of mine in Descanso. Jack is involved with Parkinson's. When I lived in Descanso, I used to go over to Jack and Doreen's because I just loved them as people and I would do energy work on both of them. Those times with them were amazing and fun. As the symptoms of Parkinson's progressed in Jack, Doreen moved with elegance to assist and care for him, as she still does.<br /><br />Doreen is the portrait of True Love. She and Jack are entirely devoted to each other. They came to the US from Scotland back in the 60's. Jack's trade was that he was a glass man. So they started their own window and stained glass company, which is now run by their eldest daughter.<br /><br />Jack is the quintessential Scot; he plays the bagpipes and has read every Scottish author and poet, and can quote them all. Together they are simply a joy to be around. As a couple they love and respect each other fundamentally. Even in this difficult circumstance, I have never heard them utter a disparaging word or use an insulting tone. It just isn't in their awareness, so replete is their joy in each other.<br /><br />As time as gone on, Jack's ability to move about and communicate has become severely hampered. Doreen literally lifts him from his bed and moves him to place to place. And only she can understand his communications at this point, so in tune are they with each other.<br /><br />Recently in Southern California the temperatures have topped 100 degrees over many days with crippling humidity.<br /><br />The neighborhood guys got an idea. Once a week these fellows gather at Jack and Doreen's house to play snooker, although Jack can't play anymore, they have continued to come and have their weekly game including Jack in their fun.<br /><br />Well, seems Tom, a neighbor, got the idea that if they all helped, they could take Jack on a field trip to his house where he has a swimming pool. This was executed last week.<br /><br />The guys came and got Jack and they all trooped over to Tom's house where they had a pool party. Jack, included. They got Jack into the swimming pool, where for 2 uninterrupted hours, Jack was in heaven, diverted from the constancy of the Parkinson's.<br /><br />He floated and wiggled and felt his body weightless and cool - almost free. For two hours, Jack was back in Well Being, diverted from his usual focus - the prison of his body.<br /><br />According to all reports, a magical time was had by all.<br /><br />The greatest gift we can give anyone who is focused on something "unwanted" is to soothe them back into Well Being. These guys, his friends and neighbors, and fellow Light Beings did just that.<br />When someone can be diverted from what is (unwanted) and soothed back into Oneness, that vibration goes out into the Universe and is answered. What is more is that in this place of Well Being, Jack is allowing his Good to be received. Amen.<br /><br />Of course I know these guys, and all I can say is that I've never heard of a more wonderful INSPIRATION and just hearing the story put the biggest smile on my face. Well done, indeed, guys. Very, very well done.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-6988204986142183222009-07-20T11:02:00.006-04:002009-07-20T11:48:18.815-04:00Dreams Made Manifest: Following Your Internal GuidanceGood Morning Everyone!<br /><br />Quite recently a dream of mine has come true and become manifest.<br /><br />My book, <a style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);" href="http://www.appliedspirituality.com/products/qsgbooks.html">The Earthling's Quick Start Guide: Master Operating Your Unit on Earth (A Short Refresher Course in Applied Spirituality)</a> was published and launched with a complete online course.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.appliedspirituality.com/products/qsgbooks.html"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 154px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj7Y2ehfJsmiMP93_rWBEe36GeW5LVLtuLEogLYUqsiFI8dAuI-XJppoVN9EuiMtvydfGtGg15aZmXsDyNIE-FyMEDnWRPb19i3xKv8vcNFRJCNWBYerledUZJyj6Ic8nrnWFpAHYHBSI/s200/139-Kathy-Ebook-Front.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360564509000167858" border="0" /></a><br /><br />This dream, which has many facets, has had a long genesis, perhaps even a lifetime or lifetimes...<br /><br />As I was speaking yesterday at my book signing party to a small group who had come to help me celebrate this extraordinary, ordinary event, I was struck by how 30 years of study and contemplation could be embraced in one tiny 3.5" x 5.5" book.<br /><br />The answers is that Truth is simple. The years involved in getting to the Truth were the work of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">unlayering</span> the beliefs and prejudices of a human mind until at last reaching Pure Mind, unconditioned Mind, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">or Godmind</span>.<br /><br />The journey has been exciting and full of earthly adventures in the quest to uncover God in all Earthly events as experienced by me in my life. "I know there's a Pony in here somewhere!"<br />My assumption is that if It is operating in every event in my life, then it is so in everyone else's life, as well.<br /><br />Indeed, there is always God, Truth, Life, Source in every physical form, event, manifestation if we are looking through the eyes of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Godmind</span>, not our conditioned human mind which judges everything in terms of 'good' or 'bad'.<br /><br />I dreamed a dream long ago to understand the Truth of Being: my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">beingness</span> and yours. I have variously followed the promptings of my Internal Guidance which has led me unerringly through every human experience common to each and every one of us and then some. My intention long ago was to understand the Truth of Being and to know God aright: that was and is the Map.<br /><br />Along the way I have only ever been derailed by moments of "peer group pressure" to conform my life to the expected views and take the road most commonly traveled. However, perhaps my own Spirit, supported by my parents' teaching me as a child to "think for myself" eventually and inevitably caused me to course correct and regain the path of <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">my </span>dream.<br /><br />It is a wondrous thing to behold a dream come true. I mean a big personal dream, not just a wish for new shoes or a parking space. Rather, to look in hindsight over the journey and to witness the perfection of the Guidance that led you to this culmination point of fulfillment. It's a WOW.<br /><br />I am especially in awe of the elegance of each and every step of the journey, although in those moments, I didn't understand but could only hold the space in my human mind that it was perfect and I would understand eventually. Some might say this was faith; I call it holding the space of Well Being and watching, beholding your life in its moments, as pure genius always on the path of your Good and letting go, constantly and continuously letting go...<br /><br />Of course, the Dream has many parts and there is more unfolding as my adventure continues. But I wanted to share with you today a reflection point. It is as if I have been climbing a vast mountain, one moment at a time, and at last I have reached one of the landing stations. The view from here is <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">unparalleled</span> and one that I couldn't possibly have imagined.

They are as many as the human mind can conjure and create. We are creators of our reality, every bit of it.<br /><br />So in comes Light Being, Hannah Clark who conjures a fatal heart condition. Her True Intention: to show us all that we live in a world of illusion and that we can, in fact, heal ourselves.<br /><br />Doctors are amazed, some calling it a 'miracle'. But these events, folks, are merely a portent of the consciousness that is growing on planet Earth: the realization of Oneness with God - that we are, indeed, God, Itself, having a physical adventure.<br /><br />Somehow, Hannah was able to align her human mind with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Godmind</span>, closing the gap on the illusion of separation from Source. When that is achieved, the fullness of God is realized on Earth.<br /><br />It's a journey of consciousness not mind.<br /><br />When one can raise the human consciousness to realize his/her Truth of Being, God, then all things are added unto him. "The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." - Psalm 24:1<br /><br />I and my Father are One. John 10:30.<br /><br />Let us stop trying to think with our limited human minds, but rather achieve the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Christed</span> Consciousness - the mind that Jesus, Buddha, Krishna and many other achieved whilst in the body. It is available to everyone. Indeed, our individual <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Godchip</span> is already living that Reality right now. All that we need do is align our human consciousness with It.<br /><br />Then, these 'miracles' will be what we expect - Well Being, Harmony, Health, Prosperity - the fullness of God, which we already are.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-14449000218756046252009-07-02T09:49:00.000-04:002009-07-02T10:12:47.272-04:00Using Death As Your AdviserGood Morning Everyone,<br /><br />Years ago I had a friend who said, "Use Death as your adviser." <br /><br />Now normally humans spend as little effort as possible thinking about death. In fact we fear death. Who the heck would spend any time thinking about it? Yet, I found her advice compelling and wise.<br /><br />The first thought that came to me was that if I were using Death as my adviser, It would change my perspective. Rather than thinking that I had all the time in the world, I would now view my decisions with more immediacy.<br /><br />I wouldn't procrastinate. <br /><br />Rather, I'd get off my bumm and start living the life I wanted to be living right now and having the experiences that I wanted to experience. That thought alone coined a phrase for me, This Life is Not a Dress Rehursal. My life is right now, right here. Am I having fun? Am I doing the things I value? Am I meeting and exceeding the ideals that matter most to me - right now, today, with the people and circumstances at hand?<br /><br />With this more urgent and immediate view of my life, today, this minute - would I choose to pick a fight, say something mean, let my ego lead the discussion, damage a friendship, divide or would I now choose to bring more love into the world?<br /><br />Using Death as your adviser refocuses you on the priorities and the importance of this minute. What is it that you value with this person? What is it you value about how you feel about yourself? The choice is right now in every interaction: driving on the freeway, in the board room, at family dinner, at the gym, in the grocery.<br /><br />It has been my observation that those who mourn the passing of loved ones most bitterly are those who have regrets and unfinished business. The regrets are always the lack of love or the expression of that love, which would have required opening the heart, but the ego ruled. Standing on principle, rather than the correct principle of Love, is always cause for regret. And unfinished business with someone is always about not being True to yourSelf.<br /><br />Of course the premise is that once these people pass from view there is nothing you can do to put things to rights. They're dead, of course, so we presume the opportunity is lost forever to make amends, express that love, or redeem yourSelf.<br /><br />This is patently unTrue, but we believe that, which makes the pain all the more.<br /><br />Time to understand death as an integral part of life and use the understanding to live life full out. Love like there's no tomorrow; dance as if no one were watching; and be True to yourSelf.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-40917362218214487902009-06-17T17:41:00.000-04:002009-06-17T18:04:02.551-04:00The Independent Life of Woody The CatHello Everyone,<br /><br />Sometimes I'm casting about for a topic, and then I realize I'm staring one right in the face. Our pets.<br /><br />Some of the most amazing and illuminating moments of our lives are brought about by virtue of our pets. You see, often times where we cannot open our hearts to other humanoids, we can open our hearts to animals.<br /><br />We won't debate here whether or not pets have "souls". I'll just state for the record that they definitely do. Although probably not in the sense that we think about it; but the Native Americans knew and still do, that the animal kingdom is part of God and that they serve us, well - if we are but listening and paying attention.<br /><br />Which brings me to Woody the Cat, my pet. Woody has been with me since he was weened. His birthday is July 4, 2005. At the time Woody came to live with me, I was just moving into my newly built home in Descanso, Ca. The property was bordered on the rear by the Cleveland National Forrest and overlooked the Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. In short, he came to live in a place where few cats live beyond their first year. Amongst the "dangers" are mountain lions, coyotes, rattle snakes, bobcats and owls to name a few.<br /><br />However, at every stage of his growing up, he had to be a cat. He would whine to go outside, to stay outside and be FREE!<br /><br />Of course this set up a giant war within my human mind. What if? How can I? I have to protect him! <br /><br />Alas, all my mental explantions to Woody the Cat about how I wanted him to be safe made nary a dent on his natural self - a cat. Clearly, it was I that would have to grow in consciousness in order to be able to give him the life he deserved. I had to learn to "let go" and know that he was in Well Being, with his own internal guidance, and above all - that his life was his own, not mine.<br /><br />Woody and I have had many adventures. Well, it's more accurate to say that I've had many adventures because of his being Woody the Cat.<br /><br />There was, of course, not one, but three encounters with rattle snakes. He likes to play with them. The time he got himself treed in my neighbors encampment with 13 Jack Russell terriers. And most recently, here in Ohio where he has become quite the ambassador of Good Will, greeting all the neighbors in their comings and goings. One night he got himself locked up in someone's garage.<br /><br />At every Woody adventure, even when he's "overdue" to be home, his presence in my life serves to remind me to Trust. All is well. And his life is remarkably, his own.<br /><br />The truth is, because I love him so much, I want him to have his own life. To do that, I have to grow in unconditional Love.<br /><br />God bless our pets, who teach us such a concept.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-9256396659877344732009-06-11T10:28:00.000-04:002009-06-11T10:47:25.360-04:00Following Your BlissGood Morning Everyone!<br /><br />A gorgeous rainy day here in Ohio! Today I wanted to talk about following your joy. I did this morning, I went for a walk in the rain at Lake Medina. There's just something about walking in the summer rain that causes my heart to do a skipity do dah! Couple that with the lush foliage, the swans on the lake with the mist rising, and the sounds of the myriad birds - well, I'm a happy girl.<br /><br />Often I find myself walking for more than the 3 miles, because I'm just being happy, engrossed in the joy of It. Time flies.<br /><br />Here' a video of a young Koren lad, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jungsungha">Sungha Jung</a> with <a href="http://www.boegershausen.com/" title="Ulli Boegershausen: Von Irgendwo nach Nirgendwo" rel="nofollow">Ulli Boegershausen</a>. This is what it looks like when you're following your bliss, doing what you Love and applying your spirit.<br /><br /><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/nwiSzwdUhO8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/nwiSzwdUhO8&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x3a3a3a&color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br /><br />Be sure to watch until the very end and watch the two of them in sync, enjoying each other, the music, their skills, and playing together. They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, so I'll stop, except to say that these two Light Beings brought joy to me today, as well. That's what we do when we're in our bliss, following our Joy, and being Who We Really Are - we bless the world.<br /><br />Today, for once, follow your bliss. It always, always feels Good. It's the God of you telling you, "By Jove, you've got It!"<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-31054342931314351452009-06-05T10:37:00.000-04:002009-06-05T11:05:17.121-04:00Blessed Are the Peacemakers: Obama's Speech in CairoGood Morning Everyone!<br /><br />In my life I have born witness to the Cold War, Vietnam, the Kuwait War, 9/11, the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and myriad other acts of violence and hatred. Always I have been told to accept that this is just a part of life.<br /><br />Never have I accepted it as the way it has to be. Perhaps, it is the way it is, for now; but it is not the way it has to be.<br /><br />I have included Present Obama's speech in Egypt here for you to listen to and view. He sees what I see; he knows what I know: that the way it is or has been, is only to give rise to the desire and dream for a better way.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">We<span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span> are the Creators of whatever we experience here on Earth. We have been given dominion of all that happens here on Earth by our choices and through our focus.<br /><br />View the President's speech. Then read 1Corinthians 13.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6<span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Love</span> does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.<br /><br />8<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Love</span> never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">then</span> we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255); font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">then</span> I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.<br /><br />13And now these three remain: faith, hope and <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">love</span>. But the greatest of these is <span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">love</span>.<br /><br />'<span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">Then</span>' is now. In the evolution of mankind we have come to the time when it is time to grow up spiritually, from spiritual children to spiritual adulthood.<br /><br />Why is <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">love</span> the greatest of these things? Because it is God expressing within you. You can only recognize <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">love</span> by the way it <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">feels</span>. This is the realization of <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">Love</span> is, which is the realization of God - which is who We Really Are.<br /><br />This means <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">realizing God</span> in our human mind consciousness and carrying into our daily activities.<br /><br />Let go of the ways of children and embrace your spiritual adulthood, which is the Consciousness of God.<br /><br />Welcome the God Consciousness that is the same God of us all, which is Who We All Really Are.<br /><br />E pluribus unium - From the many is One.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-40050580899737272522009-06-03T15:43:00.000-04:002009-06-03T16:30:10.707-04:00Rising Above the Opposites: Reaching Out To the Muslim WorldHello Everyone!<br /><br />The big news is our courageous President Obama traveling to the Mideast in an effort to open new dialogues with the Muslim World. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><br><br><object width="320" height="265"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/Rp4Y9_ae898&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube-nocookie.com/v/Rp4Y9_ae898&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="320" height="265"></embed></object><br /><br />As I watched this clip of what others around the world are hoping for and then learned what President Obama hopes to accomplish, I began to form and idea of what we can do to help everyone concerned be successful.<br /><br />A new way of communicating not just between the Muslim world and the West, but also with Israel is obviously in the best interests of everyone concerned: Westerner, Israelis and Muslims, not to mention the entire Well Being of the world.<br /><br />This is a classic case of the appearance of opposites: oxymorons, things, concepts, ideas, people, ideologies that seem not to be able to live in the same sentence, let alone the same world.<br /><br />But that is precisely the point, it is the only the appearance of things, but it is not True.<br /><br />There is a way, and the way is rising above the opposites and finding a New Solution or Solutions that have never been thought before, never been seen before. The way, of course, is through Inspiration and Intention.<br /><br />What we can do, is what I call "Holding The Space". To do this, you have to take your human mind out of its normal bouncing from issue to issue. They want this, we want that, they won't do this, or we have to do that. You leave that human mind endless debate and litany alone.<br /><br />You take your mind UP into a space of nothingness. The place of All Possibilites and Pure, Infinite Potential. And then, you allow that emptiness even though you might not know what those solutions are or what ways this could happen. You allow that in this Space it is so.<br /><br />Then, you keep your human mind stayed right there - holding the space that a win/win, peaceful, abundant way with easy, genuine dialogue is happening, being formed out of the Pure Potential. We are asking for a way; and it is being answered.<br /><br />We allow that this is so; and we watch for the unfoldment of these events, even expecting them.<br /><br />This is where the "magic" and the "miracles" happen.<br /><br />And while you're at it, include the extremists in this peaceful and expansive meeting of the mind. When you are holding the space of all possibilities, it is just that - all possibilities. Include everyone in this Space.<br /><br />This is where minds change, hearts open, and what looked like an impossibility comes to pass.<br /><br />We are instructed to "pray for our enemies". This is how you do just that. You include them in the highest and best possibilities for all, because they are included in God just as we are. There is no situation on Earth when taken above the opposites, that does not have a real world solution in the Infinite Possibilities and Pure Potential of Source.<br /><br />This is how a real citizen participates, whether you are a Citizen of the United States, Pakistan, Lebanon, Israel, Afghanistan, Gaza or Palestine. It costs nothing; but energetically creates a huge Energetic Field that is creating <span style="font-weight:bold;">our new vision of a peaceful world, where everyone's wants and needs are met, and never at the expense of anyone else.<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span><br /><br />So, get on with it.Wherever you live, whoever you are, no matter your religious faith or politics, imagine a world where everyone gets what they want at the same time. Make this your prayer by Holding the Space of Infinite Possibilities.<br /><br />Thanks for Reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-58715468772085471652009-06-01T08:26:00.000-04:002009-06-01T08:54:05.411-04:00Ocean Wave Energy: An Abundant Gift from NatureGood Morning Everyone!<br /><br />In all the discussions about renewable and sustainable energy, how often have we heard anything about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_power">Ocean Wave Energy</a>? I know I haven't. <br /><br />This morning there's a really informative story in <a href="http://www.mcclatchydc.com/226/story/69108.html?mi_pluck_action=comment_submitted&qwxq=3391757#Comments_Container">McClatchy News</a> detailing the fact that the current proposed budget will cut research funding for this type of sustainable energy source in favor of an 86% increase in funding for solar and wind.<br /><br />The article goes on to say that this technology is already being used in Europe and could be online in Puget Sound by 2011. <br /><br />Seems to me that with America being blessed with two enormous lengths of coastline, and most of each coastline having the highest population densities, that this is a no brainer.<br /><br />The technology was developed by <a href="http://www.nordicenergysolutions.org/innovation/demonstration-pilot/ocean-energy">Seabased AB</a>, a Swedish company; and has projects considered, planned or installed in Spain, Portugal, Scotland, Ireland and Norway. There have also been discussions about projects in South Korea, the Philippines, India and Canada's Maritime provinces.<br /><br />Still another company,<a href="http://www.oceanpowertechnologies.com/index.htm">OPT</a>,is under contract with the US Navy right now for a similar technology to supply the Navy world wide.<br /><br />I've traveled the United States by car many, many times and have seen the windmills. They are NOT attractive and they do change ground weather, not to mention being at the whimsy of the wind. Wind power has it's application in small projects, to be sure, but certainly not the large scale of supplying electricity to all of America.<br /><br />Similarly, solar's draw backs are those batteries and solar panels. They're fine on roof tops, but to cover large portions of our deserts again means messing with the ecology of the desert and the life forms there. In defined applications, sun is appropriate, just as wind; but here's a solution that promises big return for the long haul. <br /><br />And get this, the technology is - simple. Holy Toledo!<br /><br />Let's keep it simple. Use our dollars wisely and put them where it makes Good Common Sense.<br /><br />If you'd like to make comment to the White House about redirecting the dollars in sustainable energy research back to ocean wave technology, you can do so directly <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/"></a>. I already have.<br /><br />Put your two cents worth in! This is your government, and it's your tax dollars, so participate!<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1675319006719146938.post-75096180235506132152009-05-25T08:23:00.000-04:002009-05-25T08:39:33.592-04:00When There's No Need For Memorial DayGood Morning Everyone!<br /><br />In America today is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day">Memorial Day</a>. We commemorate and honor our war dead. In my personal experience there are those who served in Vietnam and every war since. <br /><br />Most recently is just this past week when a Seahawk helicopter went down off Coronado Island in San Diego. This has personal significance to me in that my oldest son is a helicopter pilot stationed at NAS North Island. Sometimes we think that unless they are on deployment, they are safe, But war maneuvers and trainings and preparations are the full time duty of anyone serving in the military. Five crew members were lost just last week, right here at home.<br /><br />I dream of a day when there will be no more need for a war-ready nation. Fanciful, you might think, but I see it in my dreams as real. I see a world at peace with each other, co-existing in harmony and full and complete acceptance of each other - not threatened by one another. I see a world where everyone understands how we get what we get: by paying attention to what's desired.<br /><br />I see a world where we know that there's plenty for everyone, and therefore we don't need to "take" what someone else is enjoying. We understand that seeing what someone else is enjoying spurs our personal desires, we dream it, we focus on it, and we create it for ourselves at no expense to anyone else.<br /><br />I see a world where everyone understand that they are masterful creators of their own existence - every bit of it. <br /><br />I see a world where stories of armies are old folklore and we can hardly believe that once people killed each other for land, oil, and over religious beliefs, because we understand our Oneness - we know fully who we are. We are a race of people who have evolved into the Godmind, on earth. <br /><br />I see a world where we have realized Heaven on Earth. Won't you join me in this dream and create a world of plenty, joy, fulfillment for everyone?

I knew that, because I've seen it. What is lovely is to see it as a story on mainstream media. Go over there right now, click on the link, and read the story.<br /><br />In this Great Recession we are seeing and experiencing vast shifts in what we value and how we see money. <br /><br />Money is a construct of man. It became a convenient way for us to exchange value for value when hauling fur pelts and gold nuggets became impractical. It represented on paper or by coin or by check or bank draft - a numerical value. A number. A number vibrates to a certain frequency. Money represents a frequency of energy. Energy is God.<br /><br />However, somewhere along the line, we got the idea of money and wealth confused, all knotted up with other values and beliefs that have to do with lack, and society, prestige, personal worth and value as a human being, and power, just to name a few of the human-mind ideas about money.<br /><br />Money is like anything else, it is an expression of God. No more, no less. It is Energy, just like breath, just like food, just like love.<br /><br />Asked why the poor are so generous, Christie Zerrudo, a cashier who handles Filipino remittances at Manila Oriental, a grocery/restaurant/remittance agency in Arlington, offered this explanation:<br /><br />"It gives the heart comfort when you sit down at the end of the day, and you know that you did your part," Zerrudo said. "... you love them, they are your family, and your love has had an expression."<br /><br />Cast your bread upon the waters, we are instructed. Give. Give what you have, because you can. <br /><br />There is a physics component to this as well as an emotional component. The physics component obeys the Laws of Inertia and Momentum. When you give, allow something to flow forth from you...you are moving physical energy. Done enough, you create momentum and what you cast forth, flows back to you in proportion to your consciousness of it. The emotional component tells you that it feels Good to give, because you can, and that you are in alignment with God - Source Energy. It if feels Good; you are aligned with your True Self, who knows you're True Wealth and Abundance; this is the Christed Consciousness of Infinite Supply.<br /><br />In 1 Kings 17:11-14 we are told the story of the poor woman who is asked by Elijah to bring him a piece of bread. She has but a little, but she makes the bread and finds that neither the meal nor the oil runs out. Infinite Supply. She flowed forth what she had, feeling full and rich, and so she was with plenty.<br /><br />In the same principle Jesus was asked at the wedding to feed the guests, but it appeared that there wasn't enough food for them all (the human mind consciousness). Jesus giving thanks, breaks the bread and feeds them all with plenty, because he is of the Christed Consciousness - realizing his Oneness with Source - flowing Infinite Supply through him to the wedding tables.<br /><br />This is the consciousness we are striving to achieve: the Christed Conscious, which realizes our Oneness with God, and that is Infinite Supply. <br /><br />The consciousness of God is the I AM of each and every person. Within each of us is Infinite Supply.<br /><br />How we achieve this is by seeing the God, Source Energy, in everything and everyone around us, and realizing it is the consciousness within us that both sees It and manifests our every requirement. <br /><br />The Earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Indeed. You are the Lord's and the fullness thereof. Spend your efforts attaining the Christed Consciousness, your manifestations will be beyond your human-mind's wildest dreams.<br /><br />What have you? Give it freely without expectation of reward. Give it in secret. But give it out of the conscious realization that God is your Supply, which is the I AM consciousness of your Self.<br /><br />Thanks for reading!<br /><br />KathKathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10669660958927110570noreply@blogger.com0
