Dreams Made Manifest: Following Your Internal Guidance

Good Morning Everyone!

Quite recently a dream of mine has come true and become manifest.

My book, The Earthling's Quick Start Guide: Master Operating Your Unit on Earth (A Short Refresher Course in Applied Spirituality) was published and launched with a complete online course.

This dream, which has many facets, has had a long genesis, perhaps even a lifetime or lifetimes...

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.

The answers is that Truth is simple. The years involved in getting to the Truth were the work of unlayering the beliefs and prejudices of a human mind until at last reaching Pure Mind, unconditioned Mind, or Godmind.

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!"
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.

Indeed, there is always God, Truth, Life, Source in every physical form, event, manifestation if we are looking through the eyes of Godmind, not our conditioned human mind which judges everything in terms of 'good' or 'bad'.

I dreamed a dream long ago to understand the Truth of Being: my beingness 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.

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 my dream.

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.

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...

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 unparalleled and one that I couldn't possibly have imagined. I am thrilled; I am humbled; and I am contented - and reaching for More on my infinite and eternal journey.

But for today, I have stopped to Enjoy the View and Appreciate It.

Absent Scarcity Belief: No Economic Problem

Good Day Everyone!

It seems that I am inquiring more deeply than I originally thought into economics. Frankly, I originally thought of the whole subject as about goods and services; and supply and demand. The subject gave me fits in college. While I passed both classes, it was pretty much a process of memorizing for the sake of the grade.

However, I find I have an intuitive understanding of economics that serves, and now seems to be deepening in understanding.

I looked up the definition of economics and find that its meaning is structured as a tripod.

According to Wikipedia: Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services together with the working definition of Lionel Robbins in a 1932 essay in which he states economics is "the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce means which have alternative uses." The third leg of the tripod is the origination of the word from the Greek which means "rules of the household".

So we have one leg as the social science studying the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services; the second leg is that economics is the social science that studies human behavior as a relationship between ends and scarce means; and the third leg that says economics is literally the rules of the household.

The glaring flaw that I see immediately is the word scarce. The definition includes a belief in scarcity, which is a lie. Certainly it is what human mind believes to be true, but it is not Truth. This Universe, and this world within the Universe, is infinite. If we can desire it, imagine it, want it, it can be made manifest here.
So, for us to be wrestling a giant economic collapse and shift at this moment in time point to the flaw in the belief system, for this is where it all collapsed and why. If we believe, which we do, that there is a scarcity, then we will base our behaviors on that belief and make all subsequent decisions based on that belief. Hence, the banking demise, the car makers policies, and myriad and infinite other decisions that built a flawed economic system based on the belief in 'not enough'.

Anything in the world which is not built on Truth will collapse eventually. This is Just as the Truth always surfaces, this is law. In Matthew 7:24-29 we are told to apply Truth to this physical life, and build on Rock (Truth) not sand (truth). The distinction is Truth is rooted in Universal Law, and truth is based on the ever-changing and fearful human mind.

Rubber meets the road. I speak not of religion, but rather of the Truth of our beingness. Everything we create on Earth is within the infinite Realm of Universal Law. When we operate outside of that Universal Law, the Infinite Stream of Well Being, we create mud that eventually washes away. Human mind creations not based on Truth (Source) cannot last - they are not sustainable.

Also included in the definition of economics is this statement: Scarcity means that available resources are insufficient to satisfy all wants and needs. Absent scarcity and alternative uses of available resources, there is no economic problem. The subject thus defined involves the study of choices as they are affected by incentives and resources.

This is huge. It acknowledges that the entire science is based on individual human choices. It also acknowledges that absent scarcity, there is no economic problem. Whooa!!!

Right now, this moment in time/space reality we are experiencing the next paradigm shift to the Christ Consciousness in mankind. This is a global shift in line with the evolution of the planet and the continuing evolution of the consciousness of man.
Within this evolution is the Realization of Fulfillment, Oneness, in the Christed Consciousness. How different will our decisions be when we are in the same consciousness as Source and we Know there is no lack, no scarcity, no limits.

If we can to even the smallest measure begin to bring this Truth into our new policies, new corporate strategies and trainings, and into our new idea of government, we thus begin to build a sustainable economy based in Truth, on Rock - rather than on sand.

Each individual contributes to the collective whether it is the economic stats, the election results, or the numbers on consumer spending; and each one of us is reflecting - by our everyday choices - just where our consciousness is. The more we can feel and sense Real Truth in goods, services, policies, strategies and everything else, the more we are building on Rock where there is no economic problem because we operate in Infinite Supply. When we Know this is Truth, then every decision and behavior changes. Imagine a world like this.

We are the Supply, because we are Source in physical form. The only thing that separates us from It are the old beliefs of human mind, which are shifting as we allow Source into our everyday thinking and begin building new castles on Rock-solid Truth...there is no scarcity, therefore there is no economic problem.

We're on our way!

Conservatism: A New View

Good Day Good People!

I just ran across this Youtube clip of young Jonathan Krohn as he addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference 2009. Please watch the clip first, then read on.

Wow, right? I love watching this young man. He's full of Life and passion; he's intelligent and most of all - he's thoughtful.

I remember being his age. I remember listening to the world's version of things and then chewing them over within my own mind. I would turn over phrases and search out meanings, then synthesize them into a new, higher reality. I'm still doing it; it's my favorite thing to do.

Johnathan is a purist. He has touched the heart of conservatism with his words, because they ring True. As I listened to him, I too, recalled why I first joined the Republican party. Johnathan talks about Conservatism being principled-based. Actually he speaks of 4 principles: 1.) respect for the constitution; 2.) respect for life; 3.) less government; and 4.) personal responsibility (my favorite).

I think he's absolutely correct in his ideal assessment of Conservatism. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the Republican Party actually reflected those principles? I think it can, but more to the point, if everyone espoused these principles personally, there wouldn't be a need for any political party. These principles are written in every heart, conservatives, liberals, and every other party.

Johnathan's careful thoughts about the perfection of Conservatism show me a Light Being who is attempting to lead the party back to Truth.

Who doesn't respect the Constitution? Who doesn't respect Life? Who wouldn't like to see less government? And here's the big one - who isn't FOR personal responsibility? Let's see. Most of our laws are based on someone else's responsibility for our troubles. Lawyers make their life profession getting others to shoulder the blame for co-creative events. Insurance companies trade in tragedy.

Somehow when the human mind starts interpreting these principles, we get farther and farther away from Truth.

A raising of our consciousness into a higher Truth is what is required for not just the conservatives, but all Americans in order to change the face of America as we know it today.

Once the human mind, based in fear and lack, and separated from Source (Godmind), begins its machinations in everyday events, the politics return, the greed abounds, and self interest reigns.

Self responsibility means the government stays out of my personal life decisions. I get to decide if I want an abortion or what church, if any, I want to attend; and I get to experience for myself the consequences of my choices; because then, and only then, can I feel my way to my next desire.

Respect for life means I see Life in all things, I nurture it. I don't dump toxic wastes into the oceans or allow chemicals into the food and water supplies because it makes for a better bottom line on the balance sheet lest I disappoint the investors. Respect for Life means I don't go to war to solve the nation's problems, but I find another way. And I certainly don't espouse the death penalty if I respect Life.

If I respect the Constitution, I don't suspend civil liberties because of the acts of a few. And if I believe in less government, I don't create the Department of Homeland Security and hope they will "protect" me from evil.

Applied Spirituality is knowing Who You Really Are. You are Source. You are sovereign. You, by your focus, direct and create every incident in your life without exception. This is the ultimate understanding of self responsibility.

The gap between what Johnathan Krohn knows in his heart and the practice in the world is what a higher consciousness closes. When I was a girl and would say things from my young, wise and knowing heart, the world would say to me, "You're a dreamer, an idealist."

Thank Heaven idealist and dreamers are still coming up in the ranks to take our place to keep Truth alive. It thrills this heart to see that Truth is alive and bursting within this young man.

Stay the course Johnathan. Don't let them ever talk you out of your knowing.

Thanks for reading!

Truth or Dare: The Change We Seek is Truth

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080430/ap_on_el_pr/obama_pastor

Hello Folks,

This afternoon I see there is another brouhaha with Pastor Wright and Senator Obama at the center once again.

This is good stuff. Not for the reasons you might think, but for getting the "pink elephant" in the middle of America's living room finally out in the open.

What's the elephant? Americans don't trust their own government. We doubt the veracity, the sincerity and the substance of what we are told. We doubt that the government, our politicians, and most certainly the lobbyists have anything of the greater good in mind at all.

Reverend Wright simply has the "audacity" to speak his mind. For this I applaud him. I wish with all my wee heart that he wasn't so bent on "black" liberation, but would include all of us in his bid for more freedom, truth and joy in America.

The truth of the matter is that it has been a very, very long time since Americans believed in or believed their government. I think maybe "politician and lobbyist" might have sunk below the lawyer and used car salesman bid for the lowest of the low.

If Senator Obama represents change, and I certainly hope that he does, then isn't the primary change we, the citizens MUST insist on, is a firm and absolute dedication to the utter and complete truth, no matter how awful it might be?

Senator Obama can seize the day right now and THANK Reverend Wright for bringing up the issue of lying in America. He can also use the platform of "black liberation" and use that to expand on the notion to "freedom for all Americans" from lying, manipulation and self-serving interests - corporate, political or individual.

So, here it is folks, like the child in the family that just blurts out the truth in front of company, Reverend Wright speaks it as it is. He doesn't trust the government. Do you?

I know I don't; and the sequel to that one is with all my heart I believe in an America where we both can and do. I believe it is possible, even probable. It starts with you and me. We insist on it.
We ask Senator Obama to champion the change we want most - the unvarnished Truth.

When we start telling the Truth here in America, then the issues we're distracted with - health care, the economy, oil, you name it - then we can Really Solve Them together.

Thanks for reading!

Speaking Your truth; Finding the Truth

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Interesting times we are living! Wow.

There is so much shifting and changing; and one of them is the speaking your truth. To be more specific, Pastor Jeremiah Wright. See link:
http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=4443788

First I want to applaud Pastor Wright for speaking his truth. He's not interested in being politically correct, he spoke what he felt to be the truth. If we think about any time in history when change begins to happen, it's when folks, John and Jane Doe's, start speaking up and actually saying, "You know, the Emperor is naked!" see link: (http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/Emperors-New-Clothes.htm)

When I was a child and came home with a story that someone had picked on somebody at school, the first question my Mom would ask was, "What did they do to provoke this?" The implication being that no incident happens in isolation, but rather is a culmination of steps that escalate to that manifestation. Things don't just happen out of the blue; they are built upon thought by thought, step by step, action by action. We live in a world of cause and effect; this is fact and it is physics - real science.

So it is with every thought, word and deed we harbor as individuals and as a nation. Every decision that has been made and acted upon by diplomats, policy makers, individuals has brought us to where we are today in the world scene. Pastor Wright is correct in thinking that we as a nation had a co-creative part in the event of 911.

Just prior to 911 and during the weeks and months after, I was speaking all over San Diego raising the same question. "What part have we in this co-creative event. This is what I call a major 12x12 upside the head for America. The best thing we could do right now is sit quietly and ask how we got us here."

As to damning American, that is a position of being closed off from Source. It is certainly understandable, but it doesn't allow for Life to flow through him or through his words. In fact, it is a position that will attract more of same to him.

These are really important times, because we are beginning to see what the cause is that has culminated in this effect. There are no chance occurrences or luck; it is all by what we think and how we feel, that is what we are getting.

The good news is that once you get it, the outcomes are really useful. You can't "blame" someone else, because it is your own vibrational countenance - the sum of your thoughts, ideas, feelings - that have attracted what you have to you. In a science laboratory this is really useful; because you can start to shift your internal self to adjust what you want to be experiencing in your physical life.

These laws apply to everyone whether you believe it or not. Equally they apply to nations. That America is awakening to these laws is the best news that we could have - ever.

These are exciting times, indeed. We are becoming spiritual adults. We are growing up spiritually as a nation. Our spirituality is not and never has been separated from our physical experience. The good news is that we are finally coming to understand that what you are spiritually is what you experience physically.

Bless Pastor Wright, a spiritual warrior sniffing out the trail of Truth - just like the rest of us. Some days we're closer than others.

Ah, it's a good day, because there is more Light.

Truth or truth; Fact or Fiction; Real or real

Greetings Everyone,

In March last year I signed up for a course in marketing. I found it on the internet in response to my deep internal desire to know how to market. I can't even tell you the search words I put into Google, but there it was, the contact information form, and I knew it was exactly what I needed. (www.usdreamteam.com)

When I say I knew, I am clearly saying that I felt the correctness of the decision to take it. This was not an intellectual decision nor a rational decision that involved my conscious, intellectual, rational mind.

My knowing guided my intellect to take the action. This is applied spirituality in perfect action.
My Godchip, knowing my needs, wants and desires, issued forth the green light by the way it felt to me. It felt good, right, correct, relief. It felt YES! I made the decision within my internal response. My internal response informed my intellect.

In this marketing course we have some really awesome teachers. This week one of the instructors, Kraig Ward, was hosting a discussion about the process of becoming a successful marketer and how does one know the Real McCoy from the scams.

I hear this all the time in life. People are confused about making decisions, and rightly so, God love them, they are ernestly always trying to move correctly, righteously, consciously. We are all of us doing the best we can all of the time.

Have mercy is what I want to offer to all of us right now. We here in Western society have been literally talked OUT of our knowing since day one. It began the day you were born and cried for more food, but Dr. Spock or some other "authority" had determined you only needed to eat every four hours. It happened every time you said, "I'm full," and your mother made you sit there and eat every bite. Add in your own zillion examples of being talked out of your own knowing. Then you go to school and you know you would rather be drawing pictures or walking in the woods, but someone else has decided you have to be in math class. So, please, have mercy on yourselves, because the conditioning to give away your authority and power to "others" has been huge, thorough, and complete.

One thing to say is that "they" were doing what they thought was correct; they knew no better, as they had had the same conditioning.

Awakening and consciously choosing the "right" course or the "right" decisions for yourself is a process in which you must have to have patience with yourself, infinite mercy on yourself and extend to yourself GRACE.

Then you really have to prove to yourself that your "human mind" or your "conditioned mind" will always talk you out of your knowing. It has to, it has been trained by other humans.

Your Knowing, the voice of your Godchip, or your RealSelf has never been mezmerized by the human stuff. It has been for all the years "holding the space of You." It joins you when you hit on doing, or thinking or being Who You Really Are. You will feel It join you as you feel delight, joy, enthusiasm, exuberance, fun, delight, peace, relief, wellness, calm, clarity. That is You fully enjoined with you with no separation. That's the internal state of oneness.That internal state of oneness is your natural state and you last visited it on a regular basis when you were a kidlet, before they humanized you, before the human mind got in the way.

Now we struggle to regain that Oneness individually and collectively. So much authority has been given to the intellect, psychology, rational mind and virtually none to our knowing. But when you begin growing and wanting so much to take back your own power, to know correctly for yourself, by yourself, what is so and what is not so, then a powerful desire rises up and issues forth to KNOW your Self aright, again for reunion.

This is the process of conscious awakening, reuniting with yourSelf and operating here on planet earth in full union with your Godchip, your RealSelf. Together. (For I will never leave you nor forsake you)

In my marketing course they talk about always testing to see if the campaign parts are working.
You test the script, you test the presentation, you test the copy, you test, you test, you test.
In consciousness work, you test all the time, because what you are seeking to do is "unlearn" all that the humans taught you about living, decision making and happiness and return to your innate capacity to just know for and by yourSelf, that this course if right for me. Your knowing informs and instructs your intellectual mind to execute the decision on the planet.

The human mind is a tool like a hand is a tool. It has not the capacity to know anything more than the human experience has taught it. In short, it is functional only in the ways of "human mind". So however your human mind has been conditioned, that is the entire extent to which it can give you back good information. But your Godchip, your Knowing, is infinite intelligence.
It can guide you to places that your human mind cannot imagine, because it has never experienced it. How can you imagine better that what you have been exposed to? You can't. It's not in the data banks. So guided imagery is good only so far if you use it to deliberately take your mind away from a negative idea or thought or picture and replace it with something that is good, uplifting and soothing. This is definitely a good move, a good thing to do; but it will not take you beyond the idea of "good" that you currently possess. Only your Godchip can do that by "inspiring" a new thought which you will get if you are open and allowing it.

I've talked in previous blogs about my contraption called the "Love Angstrom Meter" or the "Truth Angstrom Meter." In future I am certain, someone will come up with a gizmo that will be a part of your TV screen or your computer screen. There will be even portable ones for your Blackberry or your cell phone. What they will do is measure the amount of Truth, Real, or Love in things, words, ideas, etc. It will be like a Geiger counter for Truth, Real, or Love. Then people will believe that there is actually a vibrational countenance to everything that can be measured.

But we already have that Love-Truth Angstrom Meter within. It's that part of us that is Source Itself. It is operating at the purist, highest, fastest, positive frequency with NO human mind. Only the mind of God, only the mind of Tao. It tells us constantly the veracity of something with respect to what we need, want or desire for our lives 24/7. You only have to acknowledge this part of you IS, and that you are willing to pay attention to how it FEELS when it is speaking to you.

This Godchip is a soft voice. It's delight. It's relief. It's a sigh. It's exuberance and fun. It's LIFE.
It ALWAYS feels GOOD (good is a noun).

When you feel enlivened by what you are thinking or beholding, It has joined you and you can take it to the bank that this (whatever this is) is good, for you.

Kraig was speaking in the discussion group about an occasion last year where he and his wife opened their home to someone who was building a relationship with them in order to do some investing. In the end it was a scam. But the key words in Kraig's narrative were that when it came time to sign the contract, he felt the hesitation, the pause. He knew.

There's the good news, his proof that he can actually go back and remember the exact point of knowing when his Godchip said, "nope....I'm not joining you in this." It happened in his experience. He now knows that his Internal Guidance Systems - his Truth Angstrom Meter is fully operative as it is in every single one of us.

This is why there are no victims. We are either listening for the internal response and noticing it, then allowing it to inform our human mind of what the execution of this decision will be - or we are not. We are aligned and unified with Self - or not.

The human mind will immediately come in and loudly talk you out of your knowing. So if you are intent on reuniting with Self, you will have to test.

Years ago when I was first starting to take my own power back, I was lost about the process. But I had huge "clues" because I'd been making some pretty bad decisions (for me), one upon the other using "their" method. Thinking things through. My human mind could only give me it's data, limited data. But when I started hooking up with my 6th Sense, my Godchip, my Common Sense, I started getting much better outcomes.

Now when I feel something to be "incorrect" or "off" or "not congruent" or simply put, lacking the love or truth vibration, I leave it and move on no matter how much my mind wants to argue the point. "But, but, but..." it will intone. But no buts about it anymore.

I don't have to stay in the bank any longer to see that the guy who just walked in, who felt icky, is going to rob the bank. I just get out of the bank. I don't have to stay in a relationship to prove to myself that it's not good for me once I've felt the "lack" of it.

But when something feels good, like Dream Team, the marketing course I "found" online, I just KNOW it's good for me, or it's on the path to my good, because my internal response feels good.

We know what's good for us. We always have and we always will. The course work is applying your spirit to this human, earthly life. Testing the feelings. We've so been talked OUT of our feelings, we are rusty. And that mind, that human mind, wags the dog. It talks louder that our Godchip.

This, folks, is our free will, our ultimate choice point: to listen within or without. Human mind, even though you hear it inside your head, is all external voice being replayed back to you. Knowing (how it feels) is the original You, the authentic You, the Real You.

So there's the simplified version of the course work in applied spirituality. Start testing. Watch yourself throughout the course of your day when you're having a big feeling., then graduate to the subtle ones. What's your response? Do you stuff it? Do you take something to "calm down"? Do you pause. Are you even paying any attention?

Notice what feels good. Notice what feels less than good. Notice all the things you do even though it doesn't feel good. Notice all the things you do because it feels good. Notice. Pay Attention. Test.

And above all have mercy.

I know I have been a long, hard sell for mySelf, who is all the while enjoying my experience here in the physical, while I test, test, test until I can and do....believe It. It has no other agenda than my happiness and well being. My human mind, though, has another agenda.

Dem Bones

Good Morning World!

Last evening a friend informed me of a television show on the Discovery Channel called, The Bones of Christ. I called my Dad to record it for me should he have the chance. Then, of course, I realized that this is going to be some bruhaha just like the DaVinci Code.

Remember yesterday's blog about bias? Where does your mind close down because it becomes afraid? How harmful can a new thought be? It's just an idea. And what if, just what if....some part of it may have some truth in it?

The idea the Jesus may have had a family is certainly not a new thought. The Last Temptation of Christ put it forth in technicolor. Many, many books have been written putting forth that hypothesis. I find it interesting. The Urantia Book says that he did not. That he was in love with a woman but did not pursue it for his larger mission here. That he was to leave no issue and to leave no written words.

We all know what the Bible says on the subject.

But my question is what does it matter? Why the upheaval? Why all the furor?

My answer is that it shakes to the core what we have been taught and where we have blindly put our faith...in something other, something external to ourSelf. The good part of these controversies is that it does break down the worshiping of something external to ourSelf. The evolution of reclaiming the power from outside to within proceeds inexorably.

The concept of separation from Source is being rattled. The idea of less than Source is being shaken. God is not somewhere else or other than me or you.

Jesus was, like the Buddha, a mortal man who in his lifetime achieved the Christed Consciousness. In other words, he reconnected with his Source within his own consciousness and reclaimed his oneness. He remembered Who He Really Was. He demonstrated for us what we, too, can do. He wanted us to follow him not worship him.

John 14:12 - 14

Verily, verily, I say unto you,

He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also;

and greater works than these shall he do;

because I go unto my Father.

Why do we want there to be someone else to save us? Why do we want to be beggars at the buffet of Life? We are God having a physical experience here. We are the Creators of our experience. All of it, every last bit of it. There is no "other" that we can beg mercy from, favors or pity. We understood all this before we came in. We knew we could remember our inheritance.

Perhaps we should stop taking someone else's word for it. Stop asking for some one else's interpretation. Go within. Ask and it is granted. You are It. You are connected directly. You are One with It. It's spirituality applied, it's physics. It's the Truth. It's Good News!

Fear Not

Good Morning World!

I have discovered International Rugby! What a great sport! Friends of mine from Scotland turned me onto rugby one day when I was visiting them. We got to talking about the ancient Hawaiians who did "HA" breathing before they did anything. I did a little demo and Jack exclaimed that was what the New Zealand Team did before their games. Quickly he flicked through his satellite channels and found the "All Blacks" vs some poor team. And there they were in all their powerful glory doing their "HAKA" breathing. If you've never seen it, check it out online.

The story I've been told is this: when the white settlers were cruising around the Hawaiian Islands, they would ask at each island, "Where do you live?" The Hawaiians would answer, "I live on the life force that is carried on my breath"....all that is comprised in the single word, Hawaii. In the Hawaiian language each syllable has a full meaning like a word does in English. Hence,'hale' does not mean white person, it is literally translated as he without breath. Simply put - and therein is a giant flag where Truth abounds - it is SIMPLE - the ancient Hawaiians as did the other indigenous peoples know God intimately as one with themselves.

How could they know this? The better question for us is how could we NOT know this?
How could we not know how loved we are, how good we are, how divine and powerful we are?

We've been enculturated out of it. I never wanted to study history until I wanted the answer to where did religion go so wrong? Then I delved into European history and looked hard and long. It all started there and maybe at the great meeting in Constantinople. Many gospels were left out according to who wanted the masses to think what. And beyond that with every rewrite it became more and more manipulated.
I do think there are wonderful Truths left standing in the Bible. The Psalmists for example understood Love, which was Jesus' sole message. After that to my mind, the Old Testament should have been taught as only an old history book, as what people used to think and believe in the "olden days".

It really shouldn't matter what they wrote, though, as within each of us is our God-chip whispering Truth to us any time we're willing to listen. The catch is that it is a whisper compared to the human mind (the enculturated mind) that is fearful, lackful and caught up in doubt.

I suppose I ought to state here at some distinctive point what Applied Spirituality is to me. When I was a very young girl I was struck by the inconsistencies of religious people. No one, I might add, pointed them out to me, I just noticed. We were a "Christian" nation and we believed in the death penalty. Hmmm. We went to war....hm....The Irish Catholics were at war with the English Protestants. Hmmm.
Good church-going people were jealous, talked gossip about their friends. We even had "sides" in Church politics. Hmmmm.

I grew up in the Eastern Orthodox Church where the liturgy was always in Serbian, which I did not understand. So for about the first 15 years of my life I got to go to this beautiful place every Sunday, listen to the angel voices of the choir singing in Serbians and get to know God my own way. What I came to know was only Love. I never had to recover from any doctrine or dogma. I was a clean slate. I was actually stunned when I got to college and found out that in some churches they were teaching something called "original sin". I couldn't even fathom such a thing being perpetrated on people, let alone children. Bunk. Hogwash. LIES! Hearing this began my quest to understand Who We Really Are.

So Applied Spirituality is following the God-chip of you in everyday 'real' world life. It often looks the opposite of human mind. It is living every moment listening to the whispers of your Heart, which is where It resides. It lives alive and full on your breath. It is not the linear, fearful mind of human thinking.

John Lennon wrote a song called, Imagine. If you've not heard it or listened to it recently, do it. For this is what I ask you to do. Imagine a world where everyone was taught that they were loved beyond measure from day one. Imagine a world where everyone was taught to hear their own God-chip speaking and guiding them individually. Imagine a world where we were all taught to follow the joys of our heart from day one. Imagine a world where people worked at what they felt was play and joy. Imagine a world where we knew about Infinite Supply. Imagine a world where we understood how when we Asked, It answered. Always. Imagine a world where we understood how to create in joy and no one knew fear. Imagine your life if you would Remember Who You Really Are. God, having a physical adventure and loved beyond measure, infinite and eternal being. Imagine if you were to do your HAKA breathing and know you were flowing LIFE powerfully through you to focus it wherever you delighted.

Breathe! You live on the life force that is carried on your breath, too. Quiet your human mind. Ask. Feel the answers. You will know It by the joy and peace you feel.
