internet radio and freedom

Greetings Everyone,

If 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.
The internet has leveled the playing field with the ability to disseminate information without having to go to the “few” stations. To listen, you simply boot up the computer or ipad or smart phone at the designated time slot for the show and listen live. It’s really cool. And of course since it is live, it is interactive. You can call in just like you would any terrestrial station and participate in the discussion.

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.

Kath

Hello Everyone,

Recently I began a program of brain muscle exercises. The point? To start using the incredible power of my brain by focusing consciously in more effective ways, of course. Just like doing curls to build the biceps, we can do exercises to build the brain for greater skill, flexibility and possibility thinking.

Oddly the first exercise describes eliminating the use of the word “IS” from language to encourage the brain to search for other possibilities. The instructions outline doing this for one hour a day for the first week, 2 hours a day the second week, 3 hours a day the third week and 4 hours a day the fourth week. Additionally you can practice this new skill by writing as well as language. I’m finding it helpful to do both. You’ll notice that I am doing it in this post except for the word “is” in describing the exercise.

Eliminating the word “is” takes the “absolute” out of what “is”…and expands the mind into possibility thinking, sending it searching for “more”. I’ve only been doing this for a few days, but I can tell you that I am find it challenging.

For example, instead of saying, “The car is blue.”You might rephrase it and say, “The car appears blue in the daylight.”
When we refrain from assigning absolutes values to things, we use our conscious mind to reprogram the unconscious mind so it has to acknowledge that there are other possibilities. Our minds become more receptive to new ideas and ways of thinking. We become innovative, more flexible and engage our creativity.

I would love it if you would do this exercise along with me for a month. If you are game, you have to do the exercises daily as outline above which means you need to consciously pay attention to what you’re saying in a very focused manner during that time. I found it helpful to confide in others who seemed eager to join in the game.

On a neurological level we are encouraging new neuropathways (new habits of thought) and increased communications between the left and right brain. The right brain is conceptual; the left literal to over simplify. For a really wonderful story about what lies in store for us in the right brain, read Jill Bolte Taylor’s book, My Stroke of Insight.

One last item. Click here to read in greater depth the idea behind this exercise.

And if you haven’t heard Dr. Taylor’s talk at Ted.com…please enjoy it right now and be inspired. Your brain, your focus of Source Energy to be the Creator of your reality intentionally. Use it or loose it.

Good Morning Everyone,

Bridging Status Quo Thoughts to New Thoughts

I’ve come to realize that I’m a consciousness bridge. That is thinking thoughts that bridge the status quo mindset into new thoughts. It’s not a job that someone applies for; I think you’re given it before you arrive here. My mind just works that way, so I rather live in three worlds at once: where we’ve been(history), where we are (status quo), and where we’re going (New View).

You see, most folks need to take consciousness (thought) one small step at a time. And this is quite good, because quantum leaps don’t stick. Quantum leaps are rather like leaping tall buildings in a single bound, and most of us take the climb one step at a time. As a matter of fact, it’s how we pretty much get anything done here – one moment at a time, one step at a time, one new tiny thought at a time. After awhile, we have embraced a New View without angst.

The bridge I’m building right now has to do with the traditional status quo mindset of business. More to the point, it is addressing the idea of spirituality and business being thought of as mutually exclusive. It has a corollary mindset that materialism and spirituality are also mutually exclusive. So let’s take this on.

Every business no matter how small or how large is a spiritual entity.  In order to build the bridge to this new thought we have to begin by slightly adjusting the idea of spirituality from one of mysticism and a large voice booming from heaven, to nonphysical Energy – Source Energy, to be specific. Spiritual is nonphysical Source energy; spirituality is your personal relationship to and with this nonphysical Source Energy. If spirituality is a personal relationship with nonphysical Source Energy, then it is only a question of how much Source Energy each individual allows through their individual unit into physical expression through their thoughts and creativity.

A business, therefore, is a spiritual creation by virtue of each individual who participates within it. The question then becomes how much Source Energy does each individual allow into the business environment at any given moment through their unique unit (mind and body).

Since Source Energy is the highest, fastest, purist frequencies – the fullness of all potential, it would serve any business if leadership as well as staff and workers were fully connected personally to Source. What would this mean?

For anyone to be connected with Source, he/she must be allowing and relaxed to achieve alignment with Source. The intention must be in place to be in alignment. Imagine a garden hose as conducting the stream of Well Being into the individual. Imagine stress as the kink in the hose. Imagine resistance as a kink in the hose. Imagine status quo beliefs as a kink in the hose; and we all know that when there’s a kink in the hose, there is resistance. And where there is resistance, there is limited or no Flow.

A business as an entity does not become a more spiritual entity, rather the individuals within it become more fully connected, more consciously aware and allowing personally. Then, as a collective they create a more Living organization much as each individual grain of sand put together with all the others creates an entire beach.

If you are a business leader, you can only begin with yourself. If you are a worker within an organized business, you can only begin with yourself and take your own spiritual journey of bringing More of your True Self into your mind, and then into your creations at work. The Universal Laws pretty much handle what happens from there. Either  people around you are influenced and begin to follow your example by becoming the change you wish to see, or you move to an organization which appreciates your Becoming More of You. If you’re the company owner or CEO, you can encourage others by your own example. You cannot impose your values onto others and force them into a spiritual journey. That’s been done without much success in previous centuries of religious conflict. In the spiritual journey, you realize there’s room for everyone and everything under the sun; and that they all organize and reorganize themselves around the frequencies of thought by Law of Attraction.

Spirituality and business have always been hand in hand, part and parcel, we’re just now beginning to understand how. Tend to your own Call to Adventure. Tend to your own expansion of consciousness. This is the greatest leadership of all whether you’re CEO or janitor. The influence is in your personal vibrational countenance wherever you be in the boardroom or on the trading floor. The true Value and Pure Frequency of your consciousness will then be naturally expressed in your every thought, word and deed – your creations. It has always been this way; it is just now that we are becoming consciously aware of the process.

The upshot, the bottom line is this: tend to your own vibrational frequency.Tend to your own spiritual journey. Tend to your own consciousness expansion into Self. Your first job no matter where you are is to be in alignment with Self, Source. From that alignment you influence everything to expand and become More.

“Some say that you should not want money at all because the desire for money is materialistic and not Spiritual. But we want you to remember that you are here in this very physical world where Spirit has materialized. You cannot separate yourself from the aspect of yourself that is Spiritual, and while you are here in these bodies, you cannot separate yourselves from that which is physical or material. All of the magnificent things of a physical nature that are surrounding you are Spiritual in nature.” – Abraham

Good Morning Everyone!

Take a closer look...

I hear people talking all the time about what doesn’t feel good in their bodies. Recently a friend bumped his left elbow while working on creating a coffee table in his wood shop. This event was about 2 weeks after he nearly sliced the tip of his left pinkie finger on the band saw in the same shop. To him and perhaps to you, as well, these were accidents. This could have happened to any one, right? Wrong; there are no accidents, just information.  It is significant to him that both instances occurred on his left side. Beneath the accidents are emotional components. Remember that what we think and believe gives rise to our emotions which are vibrational. Emotions that are unfelt and unexplored continue to attract by the Law of Attraction, events, people, and situations collecting more “mass” to the belief until it finally gets your attention in the physical so that you can clear that belief, raise it up to a higher vibration, shift it or release an old wound or story or behavior that no longer serves you. Everything in your life experience is for your Good.

Here’s another except from the Earthling’s Quick Start Guide: Master Operating Your Unit on Earth (A Short Refresher Course in Applied Spirituality). Enjoy!

astronomy, astrology, polar shifts & 2012

Hello Everyone!

Arctic map Resolute Bay in Canada (red) Siberia (yellow)

During the past few weeks I’ve been hearing about magnetic north shifting, so much so that the Tampa airport had to close a runway along with rumors of a new Zodiac sign and well the usual doomsday talk around 2012. Today I decided to do a little research and find out for myself what the recent hubub is all about.

Turns out magnetic north is always on the move. It was first charted in1831 by James Clark Ross who found it in Cape Adelaide. On the last expedition to locate it In 2001, it was determined by the Geological Survey of Canada to lie near Ellesmere Island in northern Canada at 81°18′N 110°48′W / 81.3°N 110.8°W / 81.3; -110.8 (Magnetic North Pole 2001) and moving at a clip of 40 km per year towards Siberia. Tick. Tock.

The Earth is a living breathing dynamic and ever changing entity. However, news such as this received by those of us ignorant of the science and half listening to the doomsday reports of 2012 can certainly evoke a case of the willies.

I used to get so confused when I was traveling in the West in the Dakotas and Montana. West of the Continental Divide the waters run towards the Pacific Ocean; East of the Continental Divide the waters run towards the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans. You don’t want to take “down stream” for granted there. What I’m pointing to is our lack of familiarity with this Earth. We live here, but we don’t pay much attention to her until something strange happens or maybe you stumble upon it; or you take up flying. But for most of us, we haven’t a clue what’s going on in the stars (Astronomy) or in the earth (geography) beyond Google Maps.

In January Paul Kunkle, an astronomy professor turned the Zodiac sign on its ear by suggesting that if you read the signs by the astronomy – science – the Astrological signs would be off by about a month. Not to mention that we’ve been ignoring a 13th sign all this time. People freaked not wanting to be reassigned to any different Zodiac sign.

What sense do I make of all this:

1. Things are changing; the Earth is changing; mankind is changing. Those are facts and we all ought to be getting relaxed with the idea of change. Adapt or perish.

2. The wealth of our ignorance is larger than our store of knowledge. We collect data at warp speed, but little do we sit quietly to digest what it means, how it all fits together. Rather we jump to superstitious and negative conclusions that come from….where was that?

3. It matter little whether I am a Cancer or a Gemini; I’m Me; you are You; we are One. That, dear people is the journey of Life and the story of Applied Spirituality. I’m part science; I’m part cosmology; I’m part Source Energy and all wonder and awe of my amazing adventure on this amazing Earth in this Infinite Universe. Does it get any better that that? The story of living in the elegance of Well Being just unfolds and gets better and better.

Thanks for reading!

Kath

PS Just for the record. I’m frequently asked if the world is going to end in 2012. Nope. We are creating everything. So unless we all pretty much agree it’s time to wrap it up and go “home” to nonphysical…plan on a few billion more years of fun.

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.

what do you have full faith in

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Good Day Everyone,

Once a month I write 4 entries for my free weekly message series. Today was that day as I wrote messages 85-88. Usually I cast about for a “monthly theme” so to speak, but this time it came roaring in as Faith. What do we have Faith in? What can we say without a shadow of a doubt that we would bet the farm on? The Law of Gravity? The Sunrise and Sunset? The Government? God?

Recently I had to have new house keys made. The gentleman making the new keys for me went on an on about how he’d lost Faith in humanity. I asked him if he had Faith in God? He responded that he had Faith in a strong lock. How sad, I thought. How very, very sad.

We are definitely being pried loose from our false sense of security. Every where we look something new is now unreliable, the government, unemployment benefits, our employers advice from our doctors. Our sense of safety and security is being rocked to the core forcing us to let go of our faith in externals, bringing us “home” to our sense of Self.

But even then, most of us don’t feel safe with ourselves. What can we count on? What can we have full Faith and Trust in after all?

There are the immutable Universal Laws that operate unfailingly, most famous of which is the Law of Attraction; but there are others, as well. And there is the immutable Truth that we each are an integral part of this elegant Universe with the ability to master our focus and create our own Reality.

You can and should take the time to become the master of your focus, your spirit, your energy. This is what Applied Spirituality is all about: remembering Who You Really Are, Source Energy in physical format and mastering the focus of your Energy, yourSelf.

Join us in becoming masterful.

appreciating the past: beaver,pa

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!

who needs a coach?

Posted by: | Comments (1)

Hello Everyone,

Coaching: Helping You Find True North Within

Anytime you ask someone for advice, you’re asking someone else to tell you what to do. You are giving away your power to them. True, sometimes we’re in situations where others do have information that we need, then it’s wise and appropriate to ask for help. Like when you’re lost and need directions to a location. Or you need some piece of knowledge or information that someone else is expert with. For example, I’d ask for help with car repairs or how to weld.

However, when it comes to your life decisions, one needs to be really careful who you ask for advice. Why?

No one else knows how you feel about something and especially what your heart’s desire truly is. Only you know that.

You would need to be certain that this person has similar values to you, therefore is giving you harmonious advice from their limited perspective and experience.

The most significant thing about asking someone else to counsel you is that you are stating to them and the entire Universe that “they” are wiser and know more about you than you do. You are stating that someone else has the answers to you life. You are giving up your sovereign power as the Creator of Your Reality to someone else. You’re telling the Big U, you don’t trust yourSelf.

Even if you take someone else’s advice about your personal life choices, you are still the immutable Creator of your own experience.

Coaching is different. Coaching is not psychotherapy, counseling, mentoring or teaching.  Transformational Life Coaches (TLC’s) operate from three fundamental premises:

  1. You are wise.
  2. You are not broken.
  3. You are capable and trustworthy with your own life.

Coaches help you see more clearly the interior of your own landscape for yourself, where all your answers are and have always been. Like sherpas, TLC’s illuminate the interior uncharted map of your true desires…your True North.  Then, they help you remember to stay your course, apply the tools and techniques for self mastery so you get the life you imagine and desire.

Next time you’re tempted to ask your girlfriends or guy friends for advice, think again. Maybe a transformational life coach would be a much better investment of your precious focus of Source Energy.
