Evolution: It's All About Consciousness

Good Day Everyone!

This morning I read an article in Time.com of a recent scientific study that concludes that mankind is still evolving. Well, no kidding! When did we ever think that we weren't?

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 Framingham Heart Study) will be 2cm shorter due to natural selection over time.

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.

The Evolution of Consciousness

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.

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.

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.

Steve Jones, an evolutionary biologist at University College London says, "Uniquely in the living world, what makes humans what we are is in our minds, in our society, and not in our evolution."

Here! Here! Mr. Jones. Finally!

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.

For now, though, it's lovely to see science knocking on the door of consciousness as the thing that drives absolutely everyone and everything.

The Prayer of Appreciation

Good Day Everyone!

The single most effective prayer is the prayer of appreciation.

What is a prayer of appreciation?

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.

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.

Imagine that?

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!

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...

And this folks, is very simply how you change your life. It's entirely up to you and your choice of focus.

Shall we start? Now.

Creating by Default: Pictures of Torture

Good Morning Everyone!

Most of us create by default. We notice whatever passes by our awareness and fixate on that. That's what the news is; an opportunity to choose what we choose to give our attention to.

This morning in the McClatchy News is an article about the public viewing of pictures of torture.

Why anyone would want to see them is quite beyond my ken. Then again, I'm always wondering why people have to gawk at a car wreck or see horror films of blood and gore.

We are powerful focusers of Source Energy - Life Force. This is the energy that creates worlds and universes. What we focus on, we make bigger and get more of.
Do we want more bloodshed and torture? Do we really want more war?

All of war is hideous. Every single bit of it. To think that when we go to war for some "noble" cause that some parts of it can be legislated as legal and ok and other parts of it not legal, and therefore, not ok is insanity. You can't support war in part.

We are being called to a higher level of consciousness, and therefore a higher level of operating. There is another way, and as our consciousness of God increases and penetrates our human mind, we will see there are infinite other ways to create our reality on Earth.

Perhaps if you see these pictures of torture you will be so repulsed that you will desire a new way, a better way for resolving conflicts here on Earth. Perhaps that is the "good" in viewing such a thing.

For my part, I choose not to see them or anything like it. I choose to go through my day seeing the Life in all things and the God in all people.

We are directed in Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you."

How many of us actually pray for our enemies? Or bless those that trouble us? Or do Good to those who are hateful to us? This is applied spirituality in action. It is not moving in the ways of human mind and human understanding. Doing that results in more of the same. To see the change we want to see in this world, we have to BE the change that we want to see. You can't be that change for Good whilst filling your mind and consciousness with things that are not of Good.

Today, look for and see the Good and the God in all things, people and situations. If you can't immediately, then allow that you may not see it now but you will, because God (Good) is everywhere. Be willing to see with New Eyes, then you will see a New View.

Swine Flu: Trust Your Body and Consciously Refocus

Good Morning Everyone!

I'd like to give you an New View on the latest fearful topic: swine flu.

Let's talk about life and all the subjects in life like a buffet. The biggest buffet table in the world. It has every subject on it possible. Everything gets to be here.

As you scan the buffet table for things to "eat", your eyes notice many things you don't like: liver, brocoli, lima beans, tapioca, fill in here what you don't like.
Now, do you stand there dwelling on that spinach and how much you hate it? Of course not. Your eyes notice it, and they keep moving until they find something that looks delicious and appealing, right?

Same thing with all the subjects in the world. Just because the news puts it in front of you, doesn't mean you have to internalize it. Doesn't even mean you have to believe it. You can note it; thanks for sharing, and keep moving your focus to something that pleases you. You have the free will to do that.

So technique number one is to refocus yourself onto a subject that gives you pleasure and joy - makes you feel Good. What might that be? Well, what makes you happy? Playing with your dog, or noticing what's growing outside, or an idea you're working on, or music, or dance, or....come on, you can do it. Find your bliss.

Technique number two is remembering how strong and resilient your body already is. Think back on how many cuts, scrapes, bruises, breaks, flu, colds, and other dis-eases you have already recovered from, because your body is connected to Infinite Intelligence and knows that its default position is Well. Prove it to yourself, restore your own faith in your own body.

Technique number three is to support your body in its wellness. Wash your hands. While you are washing your hands, play. Have fun with it. Take a three minute mini-spa break for this. Smell the lovely soap, enjoy the warmth of the water, spend that time mentally (internally) feeling and enjoying the deliciousness of these few moments of pleasure and a break from whatever it was you were doing. Take these moments to envision a new adventure, a new joy, something lovely.

Technique number four is to enjoy and appreciate the lovely, nourishing foods that you have to eat that supply the nutrition that your body uses to create a strong immune system. Notice and appreciate the colors, textures and taste of these miraculous foods, and appreciate that your body knows exactly what to do with these nutrients for a strong and healthy body.

Technique number five is to consider other epidemics and that more people stayed well than did not. Focus on that. The Wellness.

Technique number six is to constantly refocus yourself back into alignment with Well Being. When you notice your thoughts drifting off into fear, worry and doubt - put that puppy back on the paper of Well Being, deliberately and consciously. Take responsibility for where you are focusing your Life Force, and consciously change your own channel.

The Law of Attraction says that what you focus on will get bigger and bigger until it finally manifests into your reality. Pay attention to what you are focusing on, and find the Good Stuff and stay there.

There is so much more Well Being than not; find it and appreciate all that Good. Much like you'd find that chocolate cake on the buffet table and participate in enjoying that.

The Fear Pandemic: Choose Fear or Well Being

Good Morning Everyone,

Well, here we go again. Yet another thing to be afraid of: swine flu. Geez.

To my thinking, the pandemic is fear.

The question is: Are you buying in? That's the only thing that really matters.

Listen for one minute with your mind in today's world to words of wisdom and Connectedness from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his first inaugural address.



Since Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and that little drama, we have had the choice of focusing on fear or Well Being. We call it good and evil; by any name it is the clear choice to focus on what is Well - Good - God.

The temptation is always to believe human-mind over Godmind. This is where you get to choose to apply your spirituality - your Life Force - your Attention - your consciousness. Because wherever you freely choose to focus is what you will indeed get more of; it's Law.

People wonder why bad things happen to good people. It's because they believe in the duality - something other than God and Well Being. Focused there, you get to create anything you want here on Earth, including your own demise.

You, me, we all are Creators of our own every day, moment to moment reality. We do it by the Laws of Physics. This Law is the Law of Attraction which says that thoughts are vibrational and the more you think them, the more they matter - become matter - become manifest and real in your reality.

It's time to become the Spiritual Beings that we are right here, right now in the physical and take responsibiliy: it's not hocus pocus the way we create, it's physics, because we are physical creatures in a physical world and a physical universe. Where we are focused is what we get.

Turn off the television, stop watching the news, and get yourself reconnected with your own Godchip guiding you to your Good at every moment.

All is truly well, if you are focused on Well Being. Look for the Good - it's full.

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!

Why Bad Things Happen to Good People

Good Morning Everyone,

Just this morning I had a call from one of my best friends. On Friday she and her husband left for vacation from the Eastern Sierras in California to enjoy three weeks in the Pacific Northwest. But by Saturday afternoon they turned back home. They had a call that Oak Creek which borders the Mount Whitney Fish Hatchery in Independence, CA had jumped its banks as a torrent of flood water and mud oozed its way through the Hatchery where they live. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-landslide15-2008jul15,0,6405307.story
http://mammothlakesvillage.com/blog/?p=580

My friend's husband is the Fish and Game Warden for the Bishop area and as such their housing is at the Hatchery. My friend recently retired from California State Parks.

When they arrived home, they surveyed the damage: their house itself was still intact albeit with 3' of mud piled up against the back side of the house. The garage and storage shed, however, that were along the banks of the Oak Creek were gone. Their 5th wheel was wrapped around a tree some distance from the house; the car buried in mud past the tires, and the truck damaged by the moving 5th wheel. His classic Harley, which he's had since high school has not yet been found. All his tools, history.

The reasons I write this story today is essentially this: He is a constant worrier. He frets about everything and often walks about in a state where one does not dare to tread.
A really wonderful, stand up guy, he thinks about the worst and keeps himself in a negative internal state most of his waking hours.

By contrast, his wife, is someone who sees the magic in everything, looks for the good and always finds it.

In this scenario, essentially all the losses in this event were his. The house and her items are untouched; literally everything that is "his" is gone.

I saw things like this after the Cedar Fire here in San Diego in 2003. When I returned after having been evacuated for a week, I drove and walked the areas just marveling at how it burnt this, but not that. The only conclusion I could come to was the vibrational countenace of those involved.

I speak from the vantage point of personal experience and personal observation. The year before the Cedar Fire, my trailer on my property blew up all by itself. Even the arson squad could not determine a cause. Accidental to be sure, but they couldn't identify the source for certain. In my own mind, I could. It was my vibration, as I had wished for a new life. I was miserable. Well, I got it.

When the Cedar Fire blew threw my neighborhood four times and less than a year later, and after I had moved back onto my property in a new 5th wheel, my new trailer was untouched. I had my answer. In that year from the time my trailer burnt down to the Cedar Fire, I had spent a lot of time doing my own inner work, raising my own vibrational countenance on many, many issue. When I saw how the Cedar Fire had literally burned just around my trailer and took everything else, I knew that this "vibrational" stuff was absolutely True.

As my friend described the damages to me this morning, I saw the pattern and asked her, "So, you, per se, are literally unscathed in this event?" "Yes," she replied. "And it's mostly his loss?" Again, "Yes."

Bad things happen to good people because they focus themselves on the negative. Your attention to a subject invites it into your experience. If you walk around in fear that bad things happen, they will.

I thought this story would illustrate it more than another "theory" talk. Two people, married, living in the same household. She holds her vibration to the Good. He holds his vibration to the negative and keeps himself in that state of worry.

Which will you do? Your choice, totally.

Thanks for reading!

Doom, Doom, Doom: Had Enough Yet?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080424/ap_on_sc/close_call
http://finance.yahoo.com/banking-budgeting/article
/104914/Load-Up-the-Pantry

Good morning everyone!

The above links are just two items that were in my face this morning as I went to check my e-mail on Yahoo. I didn't go digging for these. There they were headlines. The first talks about how the human race perhaps nearly went extinct 70,000 years ago. The second urges us to stockpile food. Ye gads, shoot me now!

Personally, folks, I've had enough of the fear, the doom and the negative. We have become a downward spiraling thought form. And this, dear reader, will lead us down the drain.

We create what we are experiencing. We create every single bit of it. Like it or not, believe it or not, it is so.

Common sense teaches us that if something hurts, we stop doing it. Does it not?
I mean, if you are sitting on an anthill and they bite your butt, do you not jump up and get off the anthill?

If you touch something hot, don't you pull your hand away immediately? If you are experiencing a painful thought, don't you eventually seek to turn your thoughts to something better and give yourself relief?

So when are we going to be sick to death of the fear mongering in the news and stop listening, stop contributing to the perpetuation of the negative and turn ourselves towards solutions and joy and feeling like the Creators that we are.

I am certain that history will write of this time as the Second Dark Ages. We have been led like a flock of sheep into the negative thinking abyss. And it is a spiral downward with no place to go.
Perhaps this will eventually be felt by the mass of us as "ENOUGH!" and then we will take our hands off the hot burner and look for the salve.

Every moment we spend fearing; every thought spent worrying; every single second spent in lack builds the experience of the same thing. What is more, that is the same amount of time that is NOT spent in joy, not spent in creating something new, and NOT finding a solution, creating something better than what currently is.

Why do we think that there is nothing more coming except bad? What happened to the joy?
What happened to optimism? What happened to Faith? There's is infinite good awaiting, coming, and to be experienced!

There is always more good. In fact, there is an infinite supply of good. But there is also an infinite supply of the bad if that is what we are choosing to call forth.

This is about each of us, individually and therefore collectively, creating everything we truly want or else creating everything we fear to experience. If we are dwelling on what we dread to experience daily, billions of us, then we will definitely have the experience, as we are building it as a thought form and then the actual physical manifestation.

We shift this one person at a time. You. Me. Each one of us refuses to dwell in the darkness. In that moment when you spot the headline, you refuse to buy in. You turn the TV off, and turn your thought and actions to the opposite. We begin thinking of the way we want to experience Life. We envision the green, lush planet. Nourishing rains, fertile fields, and bountiful crops of lovely organic foods. And from this place of vision, we act.

We appreciate this day what is so perfectly in harmony: the sun has come up, the spring has arrived, the birds and bees are active and happy. We see what is so good already and start pulling more and more on that thread. Look around you, see past the appearances of doom, and dare yourself to appreciate what is so fine, so good, so wonderful. Now build your thoughts from THAT platform and take your actions in that direction.

This is not just a daily practice, but a moment to moment practice. Putting the puppy back on the paper, I call it. "I will keep thee in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Me." Me is Goodness, the Infinite Supply, the Universal Good.

We get to choose where we place our focus. We are absolutely sovereign in this, for no one can interfere with our personal FREE WILL to choose where to place our powerful focus. Where we are placing our focus is where we will manifest.

Think carefully. Choose wisely. Like it or not, you are the Creator of your own experience, AND you are a collective co-Creator with the rest of us. Buy in to the lack and fear - or - NOT. Clearly your choice. I can hear you saying, "But they know. You can't ignore the FACTS!"

My answer to you is this: Why not? What useful purpose does it serve for me to get depressed or turn my thoughts to the dark? I can't get sad enough to help you over your sadness. I can't get poor enough to help you become wealthy. I can't get depressed enough to help you out of your doom.

Wake UP People! "THEY" don't know any more than you do. In fact, they may know less; all they have is the press, the media. But we have FREE WILL. We can turn the tide of anything when we finally realize how powerful we are in our sovereignty to individually choose what and where we choose to place our focus...our spirit...our Godchip.

It's up to You. How much more pain do you want before you choose to create the joy? Take you hand off the bloody stove for Goodness sake.

Thanks for Reading!

Focus

Good Day All!

The entire question is where will you FOCUS your Life Force today? That is your ultimate freedom and choice, I think it's called Free Will. You always get to choose. So, let's talk about your choices.

In 1946 Victor Frankel wrote Man's Search for Meaning. He writes about his years in German concentration camps as a prisoner. Now tell me how bad you have it....In those circumstances Frankel came to profoundly understand that he still had complete sovereignty over what he focused on. He was the master of his own focus, his thoughts. He had become a "selective sifter". Amid what can only be partially imagined at best, he found a way to focus his Life Force and be well.
Somewhere in the Bible I believe it is said (paraphrased) if you make you bed in hell, I'll be there too. It is always with You, because It is You. It is not out there somewhere else. It is, at last, where It has always been within. That Still Small Voice, your very own God-chip. Your Geiger counter, your Pole Star, yourSelf.

Wendell Berry wrote:

The Peace of Wild Things

When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

The operative word: free. He chose his focus, he finds his freedom. He finds that Peace that passes human understanding. He practices - applies his spirituality. Applied Spirituality.

The wild things have no human mind to argue them out of well being. Today, notice your pet. Notice a tree. Contemplate their perfect state of well being. The only difference is they know nothing of "other", nothing of "evil", nothing of "human mind", "logic". They know only their perfect and complete well being. You have the ability to be in well being, as well. To choose your focus, to find the God (good) in all things, to see nothing outside of It.

Try it. For a day, then perhaps a week. Put that puppy back on the paper of well being every time you notice it trying to find anything other than Good.....you can do it!

The Free Willies

Good Day!

For the past six years I have worked part time for the public library system. Really up until then I'd not been a big user of the library. I think it was because as a child I really didn't enjoy reading. Now that they have talking books, I've become a voracious "reader". I listen to books in the car, while gardening, cooking, and my favorite time, as I'm drifting off to sleep. I think I love this best because it reminds me of when my Gram used to tell us her stories. Boy, could she make up some whoppers. I, of course, believed every word.

Libraries are amazing places because it is where the example of REAL freedom LIVES. Period.

Did you know that libraries protect your right to read whatever you desire and your privacy to do so? Did you know that your library protects your right to choose any book you want to read by allowing it to be there? Did you know that if there's a particular title you would like your library to have in it's collection, they will acquire it? (Budget permitting, of course. But you can always donate it.)

I love that on the shelves in the non-fiction sections, books of all manner of ideas and ideologies sit side-by-side. I never see them taking a swipe at each other, either just because they have opposing view points. It is the perfect example of allowing. It is the perfect example of freedom.

America is the place where every idea and ideology is allowed, even welcomed. Even the ones you don't like or don't agree with. It is the place of the buffet of thought. The freedom we are guaranteed is the freedom of choice. So you can go into the library and cruise the stacks and see what interests you or see what interests others. The point is that you get to choose, because the choice is there.We get to choose to explore something new, something strange, something weird, something exhilarating, something boring, something old....But the point is, WE GET TO CHOOSE BECAUSE THE CHOICE IS AVAILABLE.

What an undertaking the founding fathers passed on to us. The undertaking to be the guardians of allowing all thoughts to exist for our choice.

It seems to imply to me that they believed so completely in the wisdom and goodness of a soul, that there is no danger in allowing such choice amongst infinite variety of options. Let all choice be available. Think about it!

The essence of freedom is the freedom to choose what we will focus on. We can, for example, choose to focus on the negative. It is wholly up to each one where they will focus, is it not? Or we can choose to focus on something positive. So the question is wholly sovereign to each individual. It is the collection of these individual choices at any given moment that create a life and its quality. The fork in the road is every moment.

The news has large sway in our society. Televisions are turned to News. The radios to Talk Radio. The Internet to...what's your choice?

When my boys were little I recall telling them that they had to be guardians of what went into them. That is to say with respect to food or drink or music or news or television, they had to be "selective sifters" of all stuff. Garbage in, garbage out. What you consumed or gave focus to would come out of you. Your choice.

How is this applied spirituality? Your God-chip, your trueSelf delights when you choose something your love or delight in. You know your Self is "with you"by how it feels to you. Does it make you feel easy, light, good, inspired, delighted, encouraged, well, happy, energetic, alive? Go for it! You're aligned, connected and in tune with You.
IF it doesn't? Turn it off. Change the channel. Change your focus, for yourSelf has left on wings of fun and will not join you in anything without Life in it.

You always get to choose, here in the land where every conceivable idea is welcomed. You have the Free Willies.

What a powerful place and time we live in: a consciousness that allows every idea to abide because we believe we each have the wisdom to choose what is good for ourselves at any given moment. I'd say that's a fearless society. That's America where we acknowledge that everyone has that same God-chip.
