A Letter to My Country

My Dear Fellow Americans,
It appears that our situation is dire. It appears that everything is out of control and flying apart. As humans we are afraid. Shall we take our wee bit of money and stuff it into our mattresses? Shall we purchase gold bouillon and hide it in the back yard? Where will I live? What shall I eat? What will happen next? Oh dear, oh dear the sky is falling.

And most certainly as humans we are looking for someone to blame. Is it the CEO? Is it the President? Maybe it is the Federal Reserve or the Department of the Treasury. By God, we’ll hunt them down and find them. We’ll make them…pay? They don’t begin to have enough money to pay or pay it back. No relief there.

But if you are fixed on finding someone to blame, then look no further than your mirror, for you and I, we are all co-creators of this extraordinary time in the history of our America. We each voted or didn’t vote; we each wrote our Congressmen and Senators or we did not voice our concerns. We each made choices every single step of the way in our personal lives and as citizens like grains of sand on the beach, one by one culminated into now. We each are culpable and creators in all of this. Blaming is not the way out nor is it the way through what we now face together. We are here. So, let us begin; but before we begin creating, let’s pause and be still.

The good news is that we are very powerful Creators, witness the myriad of messes that we are looking at which require our attention. Like the hurricanes of Ike and Katrina, the fires and the floods, we are looking at ruin, a mess, veritable rubble. I can tell you from first hand experience that we have not lost everything. We have all that matters; we still have Us.

When things fall so completely apart in the world, in life, we are challenged to see beyond the rubble, beyond the appearances of what is so to fathom out the meaning and the opportunity of this moment. Where to look and where to begin is the question.

First, be still. Things are not what they appear. This is our rebirth. This is the opportunity for the Renaissance of our America. The things that were not built in Truth or Love, or Goodness are washing away, because they no longer serve us or where we are heading and what we now intend for America. Now, we reach inside ourselves and find Us.

When we remember Who We Really Are, we, the people, will remember that we are Infinite Creators. We will remember that our safety and security were never in the world, but all along within each of us, individually. It even says so in our Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths, that all men are created equal. Endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, among which are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

We each and every single one of us are endowed at birth equally with our Godchip that is a direct, hard-wired line to the quantum field of all possibility – Source.

What we see with our human mind and eyes as rubble is what we have created out of our human consciousness separated from Source. If we are still and listen within to that still, small Voice, we will remember Who We Really Are; we will create anew, but this time from a place of safety and security based within, not without.

Imagine what we can and will create when we are not afraid in our human-minds, but when we are creating from our Divinity. This, America, is what we have been waiting for: our Awakening. Be Still and Listen. Our Good is at play.

One thing is certain: it is time for all hands on deck. The creative, new and Good solutions can come from anyone – including you, John and Jane Doe.

In love,

Kathy Kirk

Stop Looking; You Are God

Good Morning Everyone:

John and Jane Doe, you have a huge assignment: grow up and become spiritual adults quickly.

As the election is only two months away, it would seem that we have only two choices; but that, my friends, is only the appearance of things. We always have infinite choices.

As the evolution of mankind unfolds, the "fear" motivating 'this change' over 'that change' heats up.

One side, the way things were, appeals to your fears that the masses will take over and create chaos and who wants that? Stick with "those" who "know" and the "tried and true methods" of government and social order. The other side, although more subtle, points to conditions right now, as the result of "the way things have been" and says, "See, it doesn't work, it's time for OUR change." So now, John and Jane, you have to pick.

Some choice.

Folks, neither "they" has the entire answer. However, the Real answers lay in each individual becoming fully Who They Really Are and Remembering. This is you and me.

Recently I was reading about Public Allies, a non-profit organization that directs diverse youth to public service, while paying them, so they might be schooled by those in government and leadership positions on 'how it is done'. The political right is very worried about such an organization and points to this as evidence of "Big Brother".

What I would like you to understand about yourself is this: you don't need to be led; you don't need to be told what to think; you don't need to be instructed how to think about something, how to be a leader and whom to lead in order to gain 'social justice' or equality.

You, dear John and Jane, are sovereign, independent nations of one person each. You are funded by Source Energy and hard-wired in to Infinite Wisdom and Infinite possibilities. You are limited only by your own perceptions of something that you believe is limiting you.

We are each created equal: endowed by our Creator with our own Godchip. You don't need anything more than that except this: your own mastery of directing your focus to what you desire. Period.

You don't need " them" on either side of the aisle. When 'they' appeal to what you fear, 'they' got you and off you go allowing yourself to be led down their "right" way. There is no "right" way. But there is independent, individual freedom, which neither side can take away from you: your fundamental, God-endowed power to focus your being on what you desire and create, for yourself, what you dream.

We are each leaders, if other choose to follow us. We are each powerful, in our own lives. Don't think so? Check this out: if your life is a huge mess, take a bow, and acknowledge how powerfully you created that situation. You focused your Source Energy on "can't" rather than can. You used every available excuse to stay disconnected from yourSelf rather than choosing what felt better for you.

You chose to blame, which certainly feels better, than taking your own responsibility for your choices.

You can look all over the place and point to millions of people who are locked into the same mindset. Look at the middle class; suddenly they are getting poorer. They, too, are looking to blame big Government and big Corporations for their plight. But if they look closely, there were choices to be made all along the way. Some kept on working for that corporation, even when it didn't feel right. Why? The belief that they couldn't afford to let go that pension or those benefits and believe in themselves. The belief that they were safer in the company, rather than safer with themselves.

These were defining moments; choosing more freedom, growth and joy or safety. Most chose safety.

What I'm trying to tell you is that the defining moments of choice in a lifetime are subtle. You know in the depths of your beingness that the time has come for a change; but we don't leap. It's too scary. How will this work out? How will I pay the bills? How will I survive? And so, the choices are made in the fear default mode.

John and Jane, your Soul doesn't give a fig about safety. It KNOWS it is safe in Source; and It knows that if you would align your human mind with God mind, you would KNOW it too. Everything you could ever dream of is answered in your individual and personal alignment with yourSelf, which is God. This work is solo work; it is NOT done in groups.

Now, a group of aligned folks would be an awesome sight and experience; imagine that!

My Dad taught us to think for ourselves. He may have had moments in his life where he regretted this, as he watched us apply this advice to our own lives and make choices that he wouldn't have sanctioned for his own. But each of us is individual Source Energy come for our own reasons and our own delights, which cannot be fathomed by any other. What you dream is uniquely You and blessed on this planet and needed in this country.

However, you will not contribute the You of you if you are moving from fear. Out of fear you will believe that you must choose either this - or that. The Real solutions, however, are in AND, which is Connection with Source. They are unfolding as we ask for the impossible combination of things and watch as Source inspires us to solutions that human minds, separated from Source, could never come up with.

John and Jane, you have to grow up fast and become the spiritual adult that you already are.
This means your top priority job is reconnection with Self. Remembering that you came in to this with everything you, personally, ever needed for a happy and successful life. Will you be someone who makes a difference? You must. For one person in Connection with Self is more powerful than a million who are not.

What is needed now is for every John and Jane Doe to become personally connected with their own Godchip and lead that life that they intended before coming in.

I grant you that this is not easy; for if it were, things would certainly look a lot different than they do now; but it is simple. Listen within; feel the correctness of each step via your emotions. Stop looking "out there" for confirmation and clarification. Your clarity is yours, and it has to do with what you desire for your life. Your Gochip will lead you unerringly in the right steps if you follow the joy of it and turn your back, once and for all on the fear. This is the supreme Trust in Self.

You are a complete Godkit. You have no parts missing. Begin today to apply your spirit and watch your path change, your decisions change and your life change for the better. No matter what either political party might be offering. You are the powerful, sovereign state of You.

Now. Stop looking 'out there' for God and salvation; You Are God. Refocus yourSelf and get busy creating what your heart desires.

Thanks for reading!

Frank Capra Is Smiling

Hello Everyone,

For forty years now we have been on a journey, a spiritual, consciousness raising journey, here in
America. For forty years we have individually and collectively sought to bring to main-stream consciousness the power of the individual as commonly accepted, acknowledged, and realized thought.

Frank Capra posed this idea in his films for years. He called it the "human spirit". He called on every John and Jane Doe, as those who has built the pyramids and done the lRight now let me direct you to view Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Meet John Doe.

Until the common man/woman understands and realizes his/her own power, importance, and value, nothing changes. But the signs are there, now, that this is indeed happening. Amen.

I was watching the DNC Convention on Monday evening and was struck by how different this convention is from any I've ever seen before. Ordinary people are on stage talking about the nominee, Barack Obama. The speeches are less "structured" and more Real. The music is our music, the message: you matter, your voice counts. Change must start from the ground up, not from the top down, as in previous decades.

This issue is not about conservatives or liberals, democrats or republicans, but rather is reflecting the rising consciousness of individuals, that they are, and always have been, the masters of their fate and captains of their souls. (William Henley, Invictus).

Slowly, inch by inch, one by one, in one way or another, each individual is becoming aware of the innate power of himself. This Innate is our individual Godchip, our true Self. But until each individual has started to awaken to it, listen to it, and realize their Oneness with It, nothing changes.

I am an independent, because I hold the space of the best of both ideologies. When I hear the Democrats talk about the "downtrodden" and "disenfranchised", I cringe, because this is never True of any individual. This only applies when one believes they are separated from Source and powerless. The lie of all lies from which we are awakening. I cringe when I see the Republicans turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the common people and what they want and think is important. But the beautiful part of all of this is that the same Godchip that lives and enlivens and quickens me, enlivens and quickens everyone.

We are on a new path, whether or not it is reflected in the outcome of this election or not, because the human Spirit has been raised up in our consciousness. We are beginning to actually believe that we are God, that we are powerful, that indeed, we are Good. When we do this, we are applying our spirituality. The prodigals are coming home!

Self Reliance

"Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron string. Accept the place the divine providence has found for you, the society of your contemporaries, the connection of events. Great men have always done so, and confided themselves childlike to the genius of their age, betraying their perception that the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being. And we are now men, and must accept in the highest mind the same transcendent destiny; and not minors and invalids in a protected corner, not cowards fleeing before a revolution, but guides, redeemers, and benefactors, obeying the Almighty effort, and advancing on Chaos and the Dark."

- Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essay on Self-Reliance

http://www.emersoncentral.com/selfreliance.htm

Good Day Everyone!

Seems we will continue today on the heels of the last blog with the theme of speaking your Truth.

I came across Emerson's essay on Self Reliance and chose to quote a paragraph which I have included above. How might you question does this have to do with Applied Spirituality?

Everything, I answer you. Everything.

"the absolutely trustworthy was seated at their heart, working through their hands, predominating in all their being"

The absolute trustworthy is your Godchip, your direct, intimate connection and link with Source. Source of what? Truth. Love. Good. Wisdom. Light. The absolute trustworthy of you is exactly how you are "made in his image" and how we are "all created equal". This Still Small Voice speaks to you softly and quietly, and is only heard if it is your intention to hear It. Your intention is such that you hear it. Your ears whilst listening to all the noise in the world are tuned inward to hear the Truth. This Godchip of which each of us is the possessor is Who We Really Are. It speaks through our hearts, if we are listening with our hearts and not our ears and our heads. This Godchip of yours works through your head if you allow it, then through your arms to create something. And will predominate your being, if you but allow It over the
crush of the human mind, the noise, the chaos. To be glad you have lived at the end of yours days will be determined if you have but lived by listening to your own Godchip and thus living the life of Real.

This morning a friend sent me a link and I had the opportunity to listen to a woman named Naomi Wolf, author of The End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjALf12PAWc

I actually listened to her entire speech on YouTube. It matters not that I agree or disagree with Ms. Wolf, what matter is this is someone who is following the guidance of her heart - her Godchip and speaks her truth. Much the same as Pastor Wright. Following that I clicked on another link, that of Keith Olbermann of MSNBC. Once again I found another speaking his Truth with courage and eloquence. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqxmPjB0WSs&NR=1

What matters, what is significant, are these people who are participating, from their hearts (Godchip) and speaking their Truth.

These are interesting times when John and Jane Doe are awakening from their slumber, their lemming-like behavior of following along with what "they" are doing. Believing "they" will protect me, "they" know best, "they have my best interests at heart" and "they are taking care of it". "They" are not protecting you. You protect you. "They do not know what's best for you. You know what's best for you. "They do not have your best interests at heart. Only you can know what is in your best interest. And "they" are not taking care of it. Only you can take care of it.

In record numbers we are seeing John and Jane Doe's waking up and contributing to political campaigns in increments of $25.00. In record numbers we are seeing John and Jane Doe's buying organic foods, even though they cost more. In record numbers we are seeing John and Jane Doe's picking up their own beds and walking on their own. Emerson would be proud.

Keep moving John and Jane Doe. You matter more now than ever before. Think for yourself. Act from your heart. Believe and know that you are endowed by your Creator with your very own Godchip which is providing guidance to you every moment of every day.

There is nothing to fear. There is nothing to worry about. Unless, of course, you are not listening within and following your own Guidance.

You might want to watch Frank Capra's movie, Meet John Doe. It's about us.

Thanks for reading!

The Renaissance

Hello Everyone,

What an amazing time to be alive! There are profound shifts happening in America, shifts many of us have been waiting to see for 40 years. The John and Jane Doe's are awakening. What does this mean? It means that individuals in vast numbers are feeling the Life stirring within them and taking back the power and authority unto themselves.

At the peak of the Dark Ages they have found that they are sicker than ever before. Following the dictates of science and chemistry has landed them in illnesses by the droves. Diabetes, autoimmune diseases, cancer, heart disease, ad nauseum. And one by one they are disillusioned by the protocols that are dispensed. They are not made well, but rather land on a merry-go-round of more drugs, more appointments, more symptoms and counter symptoms until, at last, they are disgusted, frustrated and asking for the first time, the right questions: how can I get off this ride?

In the educational sector things have gotten progressively so disagreeable to students, teachers, administrators and tax payers alike, that at last, the same question is finally being asked: how can we change this for the better?

Economically we have stretched the rubber band so far that now millions upon millions of Americans are asking the question: how can I get off their merry-go-round, have a financially abundant life AND time to enjoy it. Sick and tired of huge mortgages, low wages, two incomes and large debt. Tired of being enslaved and not enjoying Life itself, John and Jane Doe are seeking their financial freedom independent of government and corporations. Finally they are asking the question, "How can we?"

Nutritionally there is a new and rapidly growing demand for whole, healthy foods. People even in the heartlands where industrial agriculture is well entrenched are finding the local Farmer's Markets in greater demand than the supply can allow, thus showing a new economic opportunity for small farms to raise whole, healthy organically produced foods, meats, poultry, etc.

They can dip and dive and loop de loop all they want to on Wall Street and in their political polls, but they have never captured the spirit of John and Jane Doe when making their projections. Frank Capra in all his movies pointed to this illusive thing: the human spirit. It is Alive; it is Divine. It is that in each and every one of us that keeps moving upward, outward and expanding to find the sunshine, the Real, the True and the Goodness just like a weed will grow right on through the asphalt to find the sunshine and bloom.

It's happening right now in America, at last. John and Jane Doe are beginning to hear the Common Sense of their own Godchip. John and Jane Doe are beginning to follow the desires expressed in their hearts. But most importantly, John and Jane Doe are beginning to realize that they are the authority, they are the Spirit, they CAN.

I wouldn't have missed this for anything. Can you feel it, too?
