Kogi People of Northern Columbia

Photo by Stephen Ferry

A 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.

Hello lovely Light Beings!

"Gratitude" vs "I kill/hate you" Crystals of Water

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. If you really want to help, this is the most effective and efficient method as a vibrational being to focus and direct your Energy right now. 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 Water

We 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.

Here is Dr. Emoto (click to watch)

If you miss the noon hour, no matter. Do it whenever and as much as you allow.

Thanks for reading!

what are we to make of natural disasters?

Posted by: | Comments (2)

Good Morning Everyone!

As if the 8.9 earthquake last week in Japan wasn’t enough. Then they suffer the tsunami that followed. Today health concerns take the forefront with the third explosion at a nuclear power plant. What are we to make of this size calamity? How is Well Being at play, because it is. But where? Natural events that have devastated human civilizations have been occurring since the beginning. Just recently there appeared the news story on Reuters that as a result of the tsunami, they believe the lost city of Atlantis may be  found as a result.  Most probably Atlantis was lost due to a similar natural event long ago. Most probably the inhabitants of Atlantis were similarly dismayed as we are today.

Yellowstone Fire 1988

I believe perspective is desperately called for here to understand the Flow of Life. Modern man has forgotten or perhaps never quite understood in the first place that we are natural creatures living on the planet just as the critters in the forest and the creatures of the seas. Similarly, were the dinosaurs natural creatures, too. What lies beneath our fears as watch events unfold in Japan, Haiti, Chile, and the Southern California fires is our fear of death. Modern medicine has devoted itself to thwarting death, as if it were the enemy. But death is part and parcel, integral to Life in this Universe. Destruction precedes rebirth. I recall the devastating Yellowstone fire of 1988. It raged for days seemingly destroying everything. Yet, in 1995 I had the opportunity to go on a pack trip into this forest and witnessed a carpet of lodge pole pine seedlings becoming the new forest. In 2002 the Cedar Fire raced through the back country of San Diego County, which I experienced first hand. Nearly 3000 homes were lost and over 300,000 acres burnt. Everywhere one looked it was a moonscape. Yet the neighborhoods and natural forests are thriving now. In the spring that followed the fire, new wildflowers were seen as a result, such as wild peonies.

 

This world, our planet Earth is an integral part of a Natural Universe which is elegant in both design and operation. Things come and go; it is a giant recycling system. Death and birth, extinction and new species, here today and gone tomorrow are two sides of the same coin. Yet, nothing is lost because everything has its base in nonphysical Source Energy Awareness, Consciousness – God if you will. We delight in the variety and the game, as Consciousness; because we know there is no death. Just new actors, new props on a new stage of infinite variety of forms.

New Growth Lodge Pole Pines Yellowstone 1996

With each event creatures on earth, human, animal, vegetable and mineral send out rockets of desire for the very opposite of what they are experiencing in the physical moment. These rockets of desire are the expansion and evolution of Life. They are the eternalness of All That Is. This results in evolution on earth. We choose again for something we want that feels better. Perhaps with this event we move away from nuclear energy and get crackin’ on sound technology or wind? These contrasts spur us to a new direction, better, safer, cleaner, easier.Nothing is lost; we are perfectly contained in, based in, and indeed are Well Being Itself. Perhaps an event of this proportion assists us in realizing beyond our body/minds by assisting us to awakening to Who We Really Are – Source Energy all of it – all of us- in physical form having a physical adventure in the eternity.  Ask and it is answered; be still and receive the answer. The rebirth has already begun. All is well. This is Applied Spirituality.

Hello Everyone!

Around 1:00 am last night I woke up bright eyed and bushy-tailed. What the heck? I looked outside and saw the soft light of the moon on the snow covered ground. Then, I remembered it was the Winter Solstice and also a total lunar eclipse. I might just be able to see it if the cloud cover lifted over Cleveland. Still in nightgown and barefoot, I went out onto my balcony to check out the night sky. The stars were visible! Yes!! My cat yawned wondering what was going on as I hurriedly donned leggings, sweats and wool socks, noticing that the temperature was about 20 degrees.

I padded downstairs, made coffee and an egg, then piled on winter coat, gloves and boots. I stepped outside into the crisp night and there she was, the Moon in all her full glory boasting gorgeous. By 2 am the eclipse had begun and was complete by 2:41. I called a friend – several actually – as I wanted to share this with someone. As no one answered, I realized this expereince was for me to have with Me.

I lit a candle, fired up the white sage and put on Shamanic Dream by Anugama, music I found whilst studying Huna in Hawaii.  Using my breath to clear my human mind and allow connection with my Self, I began with appreciation for this moment, this life, this planet, this Universe and my unique place within it. I smudged myself, then my home, then walked through my neighborhood blessing it, the city, the state, the country, the world, all that is. Then I quieted my thoughts and allowed a blank screen and simply felt my Connection with Love.

I came away with the sense of new. That as the darkness covered the moon it was like looking back over the past where we have been unaware, asleep to Who We Really Are. As the glow of the moon returned by increments, it reminded me of raising a shade on a window to a new Spring day. The veil is lifting. We are coming awake; we are realizing our Oneness; we are ascending into the Christed Consciousness in 2011.

When I at last went back to bed at 4 am, I felt peaceful and calm. All is Well. We’re right on track. We are loved and supported beyond measure…Naturally.

If you missed it; enjoy the video courtesy of William Castleman of Gainesville, Florida. Thanks Bill!

love and business: No oxymoron

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Hello Everyone,

There’s a great paradigm shift afoot here on Earth. It’s the movement from living from ego mind (human mind) into living out from the heart. There’s no arena on Earth that is not transformed by this act. This act, of course, happens one heart at a time.

People come to a “spiritual” journey because of something happening in their personal lives that has finally become big enough to get their full attention. Once they begin the transformation within necessary to “fix” their personal lives, they take the transformation into every aspect of their lives, including business.

Years ago I attended a Transformational Gate with a friend who was a law enforcement officer. We had no idea at the time what we had undertaken: a life transformation. But at the end of the two day intensive my friend asked, “How am I ever going to be a spiritual cop?”

Spiritual cop; loving businessman; heart centered corporation. These are not oxymorons. These are not only possible, but already afoot on planet Earth.

Living from ego mind (human mind) has gotten us just so far. And mostly we are looking at the devastating results: sickness, war, a polluted planet, disease, paranoia, fear, etc. We look about our world, feel our lives and wonder how we got here. But more, we wonder how to change this. Wherever do we start?

It’s not so hard nor so mystical. It is simply to begin listening to your Internal Guidance System, and following your heart in every instance of your life. Every  big or little “trauma” is a call to open your heart, which aligns you more and more with your Godself. Through the eyes of Godself, there is always a way, something miraculous, and more Love, Good and expansion/growth.

It is time to Love. In business, in the grocery, in your family, in school. The place to start? Loving yourSelf, first.

Come join us on Sunday evenings in Conversations with Kath to begin your journey to Self love so you, too, can be the change you want to see in the world.

Thanks for reading!

land of the free; home of the brave

Hello Everyone,

How many times have I heard the Star Spangled Banner? A zillion?

According to Wikipedia, “The Star-Spangled Banner” is the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from “Defence of Fort McHenry”, a poem written in 1814 by the 35-year-old lawyer and amateur poet, Francis Scott Key, after witnessing the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the British Royal Navy ships in Chesapeake Bay during the Battle of Fort McHenry in the War of 1812.

Last evening I was watching a movie where a group of people were becoming naturalized citizens; and then someone sang the National Anthem. As I listened, the last line sent a ripple through me – always a sure signal for me to pay attention, as this is for me to hear in a new way and apply to my real life.

The line, of course is the last line of the first stanza: “O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

I, of course, listen and see through the lens of consciousness rather than literally, but this time I thought this:

We are indeed so free that we can choose to live in a prison of our minds believing ourselves to be limited. We can choose to believe in the human mind voices within that tell us to be afraid of this, that and the other. But it takes the brave to choose freedom in your own mind. It takes being brave to choose your freedom and live life full out. It takes a brave Soul to look at “what is” in life and choose something more loving, more expansive and inclusive. It takes a brave heart to break through the prison of fear in the mind and be free. I decided to choose my freedom and be brave.

I thought that this line was speaking to me. Does it speak to you?

Choose your freedom, America! It’s every bit your choice within your own mind.

Thanks for reading,

Kath

Hello Everyone!

Daily I am aware of two things: 1. the world’s view of how wrong everything is and at the same time 2. how perfect and elegant everything is.

Like everyone else, I am a dual-vibrational being. The first vibration is that of my human mind focused here on Earth. With my body and mind I navigate this physical planet, experience physical things and translate them with my miraculous Self. Some things I love and adore, others not so much. All the while my Higher Self, some 96% of me, remains in Well Being knowing the utter perfection of this World, this Universe, and the Laws that operate unfailingly to produce the sunrise every morning and the seasons in their appropriate time. The degree to which I am happy and content is the degree to which I am master over my human mind, closing the gap between my human mind and lining it up with my Godmind. This, my friends, is True for every one of us.

We are growing in numbers, those of us who choose to awaken from the dream of this “reality” to create the one our hearts know to be True. If we had but eyes to see, we would awaken every morning in Paradise right here on earth. This is a time of great awakening. You, too, can be a part of this, because you come from the same Substance as the rest of us who have held the Space of this Knowing for a very, very long time.

I came across this poem by Brian Piergrossi. Isn’t it time you joined? Don’t let your ego or pride stop you. You have nothing to fear, nothing to loose and everything to gain.

appreciating the past: beaver,pa

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Good Morning Everyone!

I just did a whirlwind 36 hours back to my past. The effects are stunning. I have come away remembering some things, but more I realized for the first time how much I gained from those 4 brief years spent in Beaver, Pa from age 12-16. The occasion of this trip was a collective class birthday party held at Two Mile Run Park.

Beaver, Pa on the Ohio River

Beaver, Pa on the Ohio River

Beaver, PA has become a jewel along the Ohio River. However it was also the site of Fort McIntosh during the Civil War.

However, what I value is the great Quality that this community added to my life during my time there, which is still there. It was, looking back, a Camelot experience. In Beaver I had the great good fortune to be taught by a school system that placed a high value on quality. I learned to love music. Not just love music, but I was taught how to play the instrument and had my first experience of creating music whist playing Igor Stravinsky’s, Firebird. At that time three men ran the music department, Robert Jones, Mr. Schwartz and Mr. Howarth. While they nourished my Spirit in music, Mrs. Hughes was busy enlivening us with her interpretation of Caesar’s Commentaries and Pliny in Latin. Ms. Coleson was passionately instructing us in grammar, insisting that proper grammar was essential in clear communications and accurate personal expression using the written word. Mr. Payne was mad about math, and excited even the most marginal students to understand and use algebra in everyday encounters. On and on, each teacher was inspired and inspired us.

But another thing happened in Beaver. We students never became competitors with each other. There were many excellent students. Yet even all these many years later we agree that we were somehow inspired to become better rather than compete with each other. It took a visit back to remember this and check in with my old classmates to verify if my perception of this time was theirs, as well. And it was. Now I understand that since then, I have been looking for this same Quality of experience: Love, support, all for one and one for all, community of appreciation for the individuality of each as complimentary to the Whole.

How blessed I am to have had this Quality benchmark so early on in life. There’s enough for everyone; everyone is Valuable; and Joy is the essential experience be it in math, Latin, music or business. Most certainly this was the birthing grounds for Applied Spirituality.

Thanks for reading!

Good day everyone!

According to the Law of Attraction, we are creating every bit of our experience here on Earth – including the Gulf oil spill. How or why would we do this? How is because we expect disaster; and we have cultivated a negative attitude about petroleum products and oil companies. They are our new “evil” to hate. Why would we create such an event? So that it gets our attention and we can clean up our thinking. We need to  be looking in the direction of what is wanted, not what is. We have some work to do, folks. However, there are some wonderful forward thinkers out there. People of the “can do” attitude, focused on solutions. Have a look… Read More→
