internet radio and freedom
Posted by: | CommentsIf ever there were a technology that supported the concept of “we the people” and freedom, it is internet radio, which is my attraction to it. As you know, my radio show – A New View of Life – is moving to VoiceAmerica Variety Channel internet radio on January 10, 2012 at 6 PM EST . With my announcement on Facebook, Twitter, my Facebook Fan Page and to other groups, I am being asked, “What is internet radio? How do I listen to internet radio?”
This is the beauty of the internet and the new devices – ipad and other tablet devices, smart phones as well as the ‘traditional’ pc’s, macs, and laptops. Internet radio is streamed live over the internet which is global. Is this technology not amazing? And for those of you who would like a peek into the future – streaming television is coming (actually it is here already).One really great aspect of internet radio is that it can and does combine the concept of ‘podcasting’ with live streaming which means the episodes or shows are recorded and archived (saved) and uploaded to itunes. Listeners are able to go to the archives of the show anytime and listen to past shows over and over again as well as have the ability to download the show to a phone, pc, or mp3 player and play the show whenever you choose (like jogging or in the car).
For advertisers this is an amazing boon. Revenues spent on sponsorship of an internet radio show are played to the consumer every time the show is heard from the first live stream and also on every subsequent playback unlike terrestrial radio where the advertisement is heard on the show and then gone forever.
My personal favorite of internet radio is the global reach. Currently Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s creator, is vacationing in communist Vietnam to soften the ground for Facebook being allowed there. Unlike broadcasting in a local area in a particular geographical zone, internet radio is available wherever there is an internet connection or cell tower with bandwith to access the internet on your smart phone. Information is disseminated freely and without censorship, interpretation or dilution which is truly empowering. This gives people everywhere the ability to listen and weigh up information for themselves and to learn, grow and expand unlike traditional media. We are truly becoming a global community.
VoiceAmerica has nearly 3 million unique listeners every month and is growing by leaps and bounds. They have been the pioneers in this new field for 10 years holding a vision for the rest of us of information rich programming across all disciplines and fields of interest available to everyone who can access the internet. See why I love the local library and the public pc’s?
Freedom of information is the most powerful gift of all the current technology. Wise people will take advantage of it, appreciate it and promote it for the Good of All of Us. It’s the best thing that’s happened since fire, the wheel and blogging.

giving Thanks: every moment
Posted by: | CommentsHello Everyone,
It’s Thanksgiving week. It pleases me that here in America (and Canada) that we actually have a national holiday put aside to give thanks. Although for the life of me, I dearly wish they’d cooked something other than turkey. Personal preferences aside, we honor that the attitude or vibration of appreciation and gratitude is part and parcel of a happy life.
Haven’t you noticed that people who are not focused in appreciation for what they have are focused on what they do not have? This is the old “glass half full” or “glass half full” attitude, a choice of focus which is wholly within our individual domain.
When you consciously begin to shift your focus of awareness to the fullness of having, the Universe by Law of Attraction begins matching your “full” and “appreciative” vibration with more things to feel full and appreciate. Pretty cool how that works. Don’t you just wonder and appreciate who set this up with such elegance?
So how do you go from the “I don’t have” attitude to the “I have and appreciate” attitude? Practice. Purposeful, intentional practice to apply the focus of your mind to loving, appreciating, adoring, thanking for every teeny tiny little thing that pleases you. Every moment of every day.
Start small. Declare your intention to see and appreciate this day/this moment. For example, you might want to start general if you’re experiencing some difficulties in your life. [This practice, I might add, will change everything else in your life so long as you're giving more "air time" in your mind to appreciation than the negative stuff.]
So appreciate the fact that the sun came up this morning! How we take that one for granted, eh? This a big WoW that goes unnoticed and unappreciated. This single phenomenon points directly to the overwhelming Well Being in which we live. As winter approaches, instead of the ordinary and commonplace complaining about the weather, why not try thinking along these terms? If it weren’t for the cold, apples, grapes, pears and many other foods we love would not be possible. Therefore, I appreciate the winter.
Not well? Then try appreciating the parts of your body that ARE well. If your left hip hurts, appreciate the right one which is happy and well. How about appreciating that your body has recovered from myriad dis-eases over a lifetime; and appreciate that. Your body turns your food into new cells everyday without nary a thought from you. Another big Wow. With respect to the human body, there are about a zillion big Wow’s. Consider a few of them. The number of chemical reactions, tiny synapses, and split second timing to move something, digest food, make love.
Got your eyes fixated on the political or economic scene? Well how about appreciating the abundance and community that you do have and experience everyday? The abundance of air comes to mind. None of us have to gulp it in the morning for fear there won’t be enough by 4 PM. How about the abundance of life all around you and including you. The flora, fauna, creatures of the sea? They live in community and do it well. Think bees, dolphins, ants….
I am reminded of a Bible quote, “I will keep thee in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Me.” Me is Well Being. All That Is. Source Energy and yourSelf.
Not just on Thanksgiving, but today starting right now, begin to shift your focus of attention to seeing and appreciating how Full you already are. Make lists when you can. At stop lights look around for things to appreciate. In business meetings look for things you love and appreciate. And do this as a waking meditation all day long. I am charmed by that one’s smile. I appreciate this one’s wit. I love the color blue.
Thanks for the green light.
Thanks for the red light.
Thanks for this car, the highways, the people who made all this happen.
Thanks for the flat tire.
Thanks for the sun, egg, breakfast burrito and everyone who had anything to do with making it.
Thanks for what is becoming our new reality.
Thanks for my connection with Source.
Thanks for Universal Laws.
Thanks for my being a part of all this Creation and my contributions to it.
Thanks for ever little thing, both positive and negative, for without the contrast I could not wish for more and expand God Itself.
I’ll leave you with this. I often think about the moment when we’re passing from this physical reality back into Well Being. A ReEntry Angel escorts you Home. In your debriefing they ask you, “What were your favorite parts? What did you love most?” I started doing this one day and literally couldn’t stop. Here were a few of mine: I love flannel sheets. I loved skipping. I loved whipped cream…. now you go and make your list.
I appreciate each of you who are a part of the Applied Spirituality Community. You have no idea how much I celebrate you! But I hope you can know even a little how I adore you and appreciate your participation in expanding yourSelf in Life and allowing me to be a part of your becoming.
It’s truly my honor and pleasure.
I truly Love You; and I do mean You

11.11.11
Posted by: | CommentsHello Everyone,
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
The day has arrived – a day every Light Being has long awaited on Earth; indeed every suffering heart has yearned and longed for. The 11:11.11 portal of Source Energy has opened onto planet earth making higher frequencies of Light and Love now available to each of us. Now though the processes of time, space and evolution we are able to remember that we are beings of Light and Love in a human format on Earth.
1st Corinthians 13 speaks of this this time to come on Earth. It has come today. I have rephrased it to assist you in understanding that then was then; but Now is Now.
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not Love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, Mt. 17.20 ; 21.21 · Mk. 11.23 and have not Love, I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not Love, it profiteth me nothing.
4 ¶ Love suffereth long, and is kind; Love envieth not; Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 ¶ Love never faileth: but whether there were prophecies, they shall fail; whether there were tongues,
they shall cease; whether there was knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we have known only in part, and we have prophesied in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come (11:11:11), then that which is in part is now done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but now I become Man, I put away childish things.
12 For then we could only see through a glass, darkly, but now we can see face to face:
then I could only know in part; but now shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, Love, these three; but the greatest of these is Love.
This is the most sacred and blessed day for all of mankind. The Energies of Oneness with Source are now
available to every man, woman and child as together with Earth we ascend into the Consciousness of Oneness
with each other and God to create and live Heaven on Earth.
Rejoice and be exceedingly glad. Remember who you Are…Source Energy Itself on a joyous
adventure into Oneness. No longer do you have to die in order to live in Well Being; heaven is now
available right here, right now in the physical body by raising your human consciousness to reach the Mind
of God. Hallelujah!
lesson from Steve Jobs
Posted by: | CommentsHello Everyone,
As you know Steve Jobs transitioned last week returning to Well Being. What a Light unto all of us and what a legacy he left to everyone willing to see. He was given up at birth. He never finished college. He became “successful” in the world by doing it his way, following his heart, loving what he did and never listening to others’ opinions that what he was up to might be impossible.
It really doesn’t matter what you’re up to creating in this world…a business, a family, a new idea….a gorgeous life…whatever it is, take Jobs’ words of wisdom and apply them into your life right now. Don’t give a rip what others have to say about your passion. Follow your heart where the Love is.
He “died” at age 56. A life truly Well Lived. Quality is what we’re all after; and Love brings the Quality to your endeavor. You feel that in your heart.
Thanks for reading! Kath
ancient wisdom; modern ignorance
Posted by: | CommentsA friend sent me the link to the movie of the Kogi people living in Norther Columbia in the Sierra Nevada.
I highly encourage you to view the entire video; it is a well spent 53 minutes. The Kogi have separated themselves from the rest of the world for over 1000 years, holding the space of Well Being. They have found their wisdom and knowledge by direct education from the Infinite Intelligence. Whilst they appear to use simplistic language, they have a very profound understanding of Energy – obviously understanding it much more clearly than we moderns do.
What they simply know that we have forgotten is our natural place within the Universe. They understand that everything was created in perfect harmony and with equal access to Source Energy – equal honored place within the scheme of everything. Everything important, equally and in balance. We, however, have forgotten that we are another species of creature on planet earth. We are no more or less as homo saepiens. We can be crushed by tornado, tsunami, fire, or quake just as the other creatures and plants. We can be in harmony with All That Is, or not…and alas, we are not because we have forgotten that we are natural creatures, too. We have forgotten that we have access to Infinite Intelligenc – that we are integral to the Plan. We are included in the Plan; we are contained within the Plan; and we are subject to It’s Laws. That which causes the sun to come up every morning; the planets to remain in their orbits; the food you eat to become new cells is the ground of Intelligence, the basis of Well Being that Is from the beginning. It is the matrix of Life.
Every time we kill a snake; smash an ant, or remove the autumn leaves without regard to the natural process, we interrupt the balance of Well Being. But Well Being, the Natural Order of things will prevail no matter what we do. We, as a species, will simply be burped off the planet unless we grow and change in harmony with Universal Laws.The Earth will continue; it is the failed species that will disappear unless we adapt.
If I could teach one thing, it would be to remind everyone of their natural and rightful place within the scheme of Life. You belong, you are included, you are natural creature just as the snake, frog and tree. You are cared for and loved beyond measure; it was set up that way from the beginning. Everything you fear has no basis; for Well Being is the basis of you, the basis of this world, the basis of this Universe. It was set up, wired up, connected perfectly from inception.
I would encourage you to go out into nature and reclaim your place within it in your own mind, within your own consciousness. As you study nature you will come to understand the perfection of everything and that there is a way to be within nature that is with ease. That way is first in your mind, letting go of all fear and coming to your Oneness with the elegance of All That Is. Once you understand this and have expanded your human mind into the Mind of All That Is, you will fear nothing again. You will understand that as the lily in the field, you are loved and cared for personally.
The words are not just words, they require an integrated understanding which your Soul already knows. This is the spiritual journey; this is the Ordinary Heroes Journey: dispelling your fears and becoming Who You Really Are in your modern physical life. We are charged with expanding our limited human mind consciousness into the Mind of God and living that Reality on earth. This is not religion; this is the spiritual journey of expanding the human mind into the consciousness of Well Being. It is Applied Spirituality.
It requires that each of us do the work individually. Get started now.
with malice towards none…even Osama bin Laden
Posted by: | Comments
If we rejoice at the death of another human being, how is it that we are any different than those who celebrated in the streets on 9/11?
A few days have passed since the death of Osama bin Laden, an event that came back to back with the Royal Wedding. The Wedding captivated us with Love, and we knew this because it felt Good and Life affirming. The report of bin Laden’s death did not feel good or life affirming. I’ve watched news accounts, read of the reactions of the American people. I’ve come to the conclusion that we are missing the point and a great opportunity. Abraham Lincoln would be disappointed.
“With malice toward none, with charity for all, …let us strive on to finish the work we are in, …to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, Mar. 4, 1865 16th president of US (1809 – 1865)
The Law of Attraction exactly matches like-minded people, bringing them together in elegant ways. Such was 9/11. For the past 10 years we have been embroiled in the “war on terrorism” locked in combat by matching thoughts of hatred and fear. We are missing the opportunity to take the Ordinary Heroes Journey, which is the spiritual journey.
Frequently I am asked how “spirituality” has any relevance to everyday, real life like business, politics, or war. The answer is always the same, every creation on Earth is a spiritual event, for we are the focusers of Source Energy. Source Energy, the Field of Awareness, the Christed Consciousness, Infinite Intelligence, the Field of All Potential is the field of Energy from which we create. It is the same Energy that creates worlds. We draw that energy through us and what we focus It on, is what we create here on Earth.
We say that we are a Christian nation whose foundations are in the teaching of Jesus whose entire message was Love. Period. So we are charged with not to worship him, but rather to become more Love right here in this physical life. The spiritual journey, which is the Ordinary Heroes Journey, is to become the Love that we are by answering the Call to Adventure. The Spiritual Adventure is about clearing out the human ego mind, the black box of false beliefs, limiting perceptions and biases that we focus Source Energy through. Without doing the personal development work of the spiritual journey, no spiritual growth happens and we mis-create. This is how we create aberrations such as war, disease, poverty and all things that don’t feel Good, which are without Life. Without Life is what we call evil: the absence of Love.
Every spiritual journey is about clearing out your black box so that you can be more Life, more God, if you will, in your everyday human life. Every religion ought to be about that as well.
Osama bin Laden was a man who did not take the spiritual journey by answering the Hero’s Journey Call to Adventure. However, he gave us the greatest gift: the contrast. Would you like to be like him or not? In the face of something we do not like or love, the toughest question anyone can ask is, How am I like him? Without this self reflection there is no spiritual growth, and the Call to Adventure has been refused, the opportunity missed. The world doesn’t change except that each one of us answers the Call to Adventure and goes on the spiritual journey to be the Love that we are in our ordinary human lives.
Osama bin Laden refused the call of personal development and spiritual growth but gave us the opportunity to change and transform ourselves by his presence on the planet. Will you refuse the Call to Adventure? Or will you heed the call and take the Ordinary Heroes Journey and become more Love?
With malice towards none and charity for all…these are not empty words, nor is it impossible. We have a great opportunity to become More than what we have been. It is not a national movement, but it is a personal opportunity from which America The Nation of Love will spring forth. I hold that space.

Send love to water in Fukushima nuclear plant
Posted by: | CommentsHello lovely Light Beings!
Dr. Masuru Emoto, Messenger of Water and author of the book, The Hidden Messages in Water has issued a request from each of us as a citizen of planet Earth to focus our Source Energy of Love and Gratitude towards the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Water.

He has asked that at noon in your time zone that you pause in your day in a prayerful attitude and send this prayer:
“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant, we are sorry to make you suffer. Please forgive us. We thank you, and we love you.”Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times as you put your hands together in a prayer position.
Please offer your sincere prayer. Thank you very much from my heart. With love and gratitude,
Masaru Emoto, Messenger of WaterWe all co-created this event through human-ego mind, we are that powerful. Let us become now that which we really are: powerful Deliberate and Intentional Creators with our focus of Source Energy, which is Love.

there is no death
Posted by: | CommentsGood Morning folks!
As I’ve been reading all the commentary about the disaster in Japan, it is clear that generally people think death is the ultimate punishment. “But they died!” Indeed, people die everyday; but there is no death. Life is a continuum and goes on eternally. In the Bible it says, “In my Father’s House there are many mansions” (John 14:2). This refers to states of Consciousness, Awareness. We return to Well Being from whence we came. To my mind, we high five each other and say, “That, was a great game!”
This morning I happened on a news item of a little boy, Colton Burpo, who had a “death” experience whilst undergoing surgery. He was 4 years old at the time. When he returned, he told of meeting his great grandfather, a sister who had been a miscarriage, and reports that Jesus had a smile that lit up the heavens. Some refer to this as heaven, I call it Well Being. It’s not just for the “good” people, but for everyone. Watch.
Many others have had this experience and come back to report the Truth of Life to the rest of us humanoids. I’d like to take it out of the religious context and put it into the natural context. Consciousness Is. Life Is…It is not a religious experience; it is a Life experience just as natural as winter becomes spring. As Colton describes heaven, we might want to rethink the death penalty. Maybe it’s the ultimate gift to send someone home…

think a better thought NOW
Posted by: | CommentsGood Morning Everyone!
I’ve been having some interesting conversations lately. With what is going on in Japan, the Middle East, and whatever else pops up on the news, I see folks focused on what was, what could have been, what should have been – wasting a whole lot of Source Energy focus feeling bad, negative, blaming, judgmental, and in fear. This is a waste of focus of Source Energy though you if you want to make a difference.
It’s difficult to get the human mind ego (i) to let go of old habits of thinking. “Well, it’s true,”they say. And so what if it is? The acid test is does it make you feel good whilst thinking about it or focusing on it? If it does, keep on doing it. However, most of these things don’t make us feel good as we look at them, dwell on them and witness them. This is purposeful. These events give us a contrast to launch a new rocket of desire for what we do want to witness, experience, see manifest.
Right now, in this moment is the only place where we ever live. We don’t live in the past (except in mind focus) and we don’t live in the future (except in mind focus). Right now, this moment is all there is…really. And right now is where all our power of focus is concentrated and we get to choose what we will focus on.
You can choose only now on what you want to focus. You can choose only now how you want to feel. You can choose only now what you want to experience next. You can only do that right now. When you truly understand how powerful your focus is – focusing Source Energy that creates worlds through you, then you begin to understand that it is very beneficial not just to you, but to whatever “cause” you feel passionately about to clean up your thoughts and take conscious control over your NOW focus.
Certainly there are things going on right now that are giving us powerful contrast. Use the contrast only so long as it takes you to launch your new rocket of desire: safe hydrogen fuel, peace in the Middle East, a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle…whatever it is that the contrast has inspired within you. Then turn your focus NOW towards what is wanted, not what is or has been. Lamenting, commiserating, endless ruminating on how bad things are is a waste and misuse of Source Energy. You are not only keeping that reality around longer, you’re making yourself feel bad in the meantime. So does it help the folks in Japan if you feel bad, too? No. It prolongs their situation.
Thought forms are like the wake behind a jet boat in the water. They create slip streams that others can “latch onto” like a life preserver. Someone in Japan is in need of a better feeling thought right now and perhaps reaching for it. You can provide that thought stream for them. This is how we are either part of the problem or part of the solution…not just in actions, but first and foremost by our thoughts.
Thinking the thoughts that they are having of doom and desperation only add to the “mass” of that thought. Creating a vision in your mind of what Good is coming, begins building the new reality right NOW. Reach for a better feeling thought; it’s uncommon but powerful…NOW. It’s all Applied Spirituality; but is it conscious and deliberate is the question.

Kath
