are you ready for Love?
Posted by: | CommentsHello Everyone,
Everyone deserves to love and be loved. Everyone! No exceptions. And it is absolutely possible.
Yet why do loving relationships evade us? I’m speaking not just to the singles, but to the myriad marrieds who find themselves disappointed in their relationship.
As Valentine’s Day fast approaches again, we have another opportunity to realize the misperceptions, false beliefs and wrong premises that we each carry around with us that are creating the ‘real life’ experience that we are living. Make no mistake, we each are the creator of our daily reality bar none.
So while you might be able to point to “him” or “her” and say, “He’s a jerk” or “She’s too demanding”, you, my dear friend, hold a belief about yourself that is limiting your selection to these types of people...conditional.
However, it’s the conditions within your own mind that filter and sort who and what is allowed into your experience. This is simply how the world works. This is how it is set up. That which you believe is that which you will attract. It’s managed by the Law of Attraction.
For awhile after I would break up with someone, I would step out of the love game. I remember clearly thinking that unless I understood how I was showing up in relationship to cause this, I would be forever doomed to keep repeating it. Then I realized that the core beliefs within myself had to shift. Then, I got to work on myself.
Every single one of us has been playing the “not enough” game in one form or another. We either have the experience of not enough love, money, time, health…all variations on the Game to hide the Truth from ourselves. What Truth is that? We are actually Source Energy having a physical human life. It is a Game where we hide from our Self. So when we meet up with something that doesn’t feel Good, it’s a clue. We have run smack dab into a bold faced lie that we think is true, but it is not True. Hint. Hint. There’s something More here. Now what could that be?
A lover leaves. It feels rotten, because you think you’re not enough. Hint. Hint. Dig here. The Truth is just the opposite.
This is the Ordinary Heroes Journey. In the course of an everyday life, a common ‘human’ event like a divorce or being alone on a Saturday night, our negative feelings point to the Real Truth – you are Love and you are enough. You are deserving and worthy. What you believe about yourself in your human mind is all that separates you from the realization of Love in your human physical life.
The work to let go and shift those false beliefs is yours to do. The pain you feel is the opportunity to free yourself of your limiting ideas.
On Tuesday, January 24 at 6 PM EST, Katherine Woodward Thomas, LA Times best selling author of Calling in the One talks with me on my radio show, A New View of Life. You can listen live and even call in and ask her questions directly. Katherine wrote the book and developed a 7 week course to help everyone realize more Love in their lives. This is a rare opportunity that you should not miss if you’re still waiting for Mr. or Miss Right.
You will be amazed at how simple the process is to be just a wee bit more mindful, use your emotions to clean out the wrong ideas you’ve been living with, and how empowering the whole idea is that you’re the one creating your own reality. For when you’ve become a vibrational match to Love (which is who you already are) – it can flow into your experience as naturally as the air you breathe.
Let this be the year of Love for you! Join us at 6 PM EST. on A New View of Life. You can also listen later in the archives or download it from itunes. Just do it. You deserve Love, absolutely.

with malice towards none…even Osama bin Laden

Let us be The Nation of Love
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.
If you would like to take that Ordinary Heroes Journey, begin right now. Go sign up for the Free Online Course delivered in 52 weekly messages at Applied Spirituality.com.

letting go human mind; finding Awareness
Posted by: | CommentsGood Day Everyone!
human mind says you are this; You are really That
Years ago when I first began my own transformation, I was told to “let go”. I wanted to strangle that person. Certainly, if I knew how to do that I would do it, right? Why would I hang onto something that caused me pain and suffering making happiness impossible? As the years went on, that question loomed bigger and bigger for me. How many times did I ask, “Oh, for Pete’s sake, won’t someone show me how to let go of what was, what is and this old, pitiful story?” I was sick of it; I was sick of recreating it…yet, the way to do that wasn’t clear until NOW.
The years went on and I learned more about human mind: it’s complexity, it’s incessant yammering, it’s falsity. I realized that the human mind was like the tail that wagged the dog. It ruled me and each person I knew. In fact, ego mind ruled the world. We suffer from the biggest illusion – the first illusion – Separation from Source, so therefore, human mind has become our false god.
If we think it, it must be so. If I can think, therefore I am…bosh. Yet, when you’re undertaking to write the opus of how it all works (the Universe, the World and the individual), there are many paths all leading you to the same Truth. After the Buddha wandered the planet suffering and witnessing all the suffering, he finally sat down beneath the Bodi tree and …LET GO. He surrendered. He gave up (his questioning and ego mind). Then it happened. He realized his Oneness – he realized the Presence of Awareness – he realized Who He Really Was.
Sounds like most of us, doesn’t it? Wandering the world, suffering within the drama of the human mind stories we make up about everything. The ego mind is the ultimate master of illusion, which is necessary to play the game on earth. But to be free is to realize you are not the story, the fear, the sickness, the mind – but the Awareness that is funding all the forms.
In walks Lester Levinson in the 1960′s and more recently the Sedona Method via Hale Dwoskin. My years of wandering in the desert to find the answer to my question of how to LET GO are over! You stop resisting it and welcome it in. Then you simply notice that you are not the story, the sensation, or the memory (idea, thought or belief). Then you notice what IS Present…Awareness. Oh sweet relief. Asked and answered!
Allow me to introduce you to Lester who figured all this out. Then we’ll explore the Triple Welcome Method tomorrow.
I want so much for us all to be free from the lie of separation. We are One with our Source, Awareness, always have been and always will be into eternity…and even right here, right now. Remember these…
“Yeah though I walk through the valley….Thou art With ME!” That Me is the Awareness.
“I will never leave thee nor forsake thee?” That I is the Awareness.
“I and my Father are One.” That I is the Awareness.
“I will keep thee in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on ME.” I and Me is the IAM Awareness…You.
Notice today, if you will, that Awareness is breathing you; seeing through you; hearing through you; enlivening you – not your human ego mind.
silencing the human mind
Posted by: | CommentsGood Morning Everyone!
My human mind awoke this morning wanting to drag me into its “story”. What story? My son deploys today, that story. Yammering on, I could feel myself getting dragged down into its negative thoughts. Whoa! It occurred to me that I had several choices here. I could continue letting my human mind drag me from pillar to post feeling worse by the second; I could stop it; I could watch it; I could welcome it; I could release it. I didn’t have to suffer. I had choices.
Well, whatever I chose, it wasn’t going to be feeling bad to worse. I began breathing in to the count of 3 and out to the count of 5 getting a good rhythmic rolling breath going, focusing on my breathe. Poor human mind can only focus on one thing at a time; and I was not about to be the victim to the “tail” wagging the “dog”. Then I decided to “welcome in” these worrisome thoughts, continuing my rhythmic breathing.
“Welcome worry, welcome fear, welcome sadness, welcome longing to be there. Come in for you are welcome here.” Breathing. Breathing.
“Welcome the belief that I need to change, alter, amend, conceal, edit or diminish you in anyway. Welcome.”
“Welcome the notion that these feelings and thoughts are personal to me. Welcome the idea that I alone, little me, i am alone in this feeling; it is mine. Welcome. Welcome.” Breathing. Breathing.
“So, could you let this go?” I asked myself. Breathing. Breathing. Yes.
“So, would you be willing to let this go?” Breathing. Breathing. Yes.
“When might this be?”
“Now.” Breathing. Breathing.
“Now could you welcome in the IMPERSONAL nature of these thoughts and ideas?” Breathing. Breathing.
“Yes.”
“And what is present right here, right now? Is there a separate you that is suffering from these thoughts?”
Breathing. Breathing. “No.”
“So then, what is present right here, right now?”
“Only Awareness. Life. Well Being. Awareness is breathing me. Life is.” Breathing. Breathing.
“How does that feel now?”
“Spacious. Limitless. Oneness. Well. All is Well.”

children: what they teach us
Posted by: | CommentsGood Morning Everyone!
Children are our teachers if we’re disposed to pay attention and stop trying to turn them into us. They are clear transparencies of Life Force, allowing It to flow through them unedited and unobstructed. That’s why they’re so joyful and innocent, they don’t have a bunch of junk in their human minds bending or distorting Life Force.
Watch and get a glimpse of where we need to go as adults: lose the human mind and regain our Divine Mind of joy. This is the natural process of Applied Spirituality
And here’s a grown up that gets it
You have your assignment: go forth, be silly, express the Joy that you are.

the appearance of extreme weather: the opportunity to renew Life
Posted by: | Commentsexamine the premise: whose truth is it
Posted by: | CommentsGood Day Everyone!
Whose Truth? Ego Mind or Divine Mind
Every day in the world we are bombarded with some one’s version of the truth. This one says this, that one says that. People go to war over the human mind version of the truth. There’s not enough; you’re doomed to this illness; my way is right and yours in wrong. This is the content of human mind…the sense of separation. This is the great illusion under which we all labor – that I am separate from you, alone on the planet and that whatever happens to me is personal. The great lie that began with the first telling of the story of Adam and Eve and their adventure in the Garden of Eden. Suddenly they were aware of “something other than paradise – oneness”.
In order to reclaim Paradise, our realization of Oneness, the human mind which is infinitely clever with its smoke and mirrors, has to be stilled. Or we must focus our attention on what IS PRESENT. Do you really notice a you that is feeling angry? Or are you the Awareness that notices anger come and go? We keep looking at the waves, when we are the ocean.
One way to disconnect from group human think is to examine the premise. Whose premise is it? What is it? How far back in human history does it go? Does it even feel correct? Thinking for yourself is a worthy endeavor which gives rise to inspired thought and ah-ha’s. The human mind is a tool that is meant for us to use in navigating this physical world. The human mind is to execute the desires of the heart, not the other way round which is what the human mind does. We force our heart to be still and execute the false premises of human mind.

Girl’s Heart Heals Itself, Of Course
Posted by: | CommentsGood Day Everyone!
I love it; I love it; I love it! Proof positive that the body’s default position is Well Being and Health.
Meet Hannah Clark and check out her story as published in the Guardian in the UK.
In a world of mesmerization, illusions come and go: the illusion of disease, the illusion of lack, the illusion of loneliness, the illusion of all manner of not well being. They are as many as the human mind can conjure and create. We are creators of our reality, every bit of it.
So in comes Light Being, Hannah Clark who conjures a fatal heart condition. Her True Intention: to show us all that we live in a world of illusion and that we can, in fact, heal ourselves.
Doctors are amazed, some calling it a ‘miracle’. But these events, folks, are merely a portent of the consciousness that is growing on planet Earth: the realization of Oneness with God – that we are, indeed, God, Itself, having a physical adventure.
Somehow, Hannah was able to align her human mind with Godmind, closing the gap on the illusion of separation from Source. When that is achieved, the fullness of God is realized on Earth.
It’s a journey of consciousness not mind.
When one can raise the human consciousness to realize his/her Truth of Being, God, then all things are added unto him. “The Earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.” – Psalm 24:1
I and my Father are One. John 10:30.
Let us stop trying to think with our limited human minds, but rather achieve the Christed Consciousness – the mind that Jesus, Buddha, Krishna and many other achieved whilst in the body. It is available to everyone. Indeed, our individual Godchip is already living that Reality right now. All that we need do is align our human consciousness with It.
Then, these ‘miracles’ will be what we expect – Well Being, Harmony, Health, Prosperity – the fullness of God, which we already are.

Depression: Denying Your Creative Self
Posted by: | Comments2009-04-06
Good Day Everyone!
The other day standing the check out line at the grocery store, I caught sight of a headline that said something like, “How will Obama talk us out of a Depression?”
Instantly my thoughts went to the idea that America was suffering from clinical depression, which is reflected in the economy.
The problem is within our psyche, our minds, obscuring our Souls.
According to the World Health Organization, depression is a common affliction and when “treated” or addressed results in improved economic productivity. Imagine that!
What is depression exactly? To my mind, and experience, it is the exhaustion we suffer when we spend every ounce of our energy trying to NOT hear our Inner Godchip, our Spirit, Who We Really Are.
That flame of ours, that Godchip that is ising within us each and every day, is Life insisting itself in and through us. Witness the daisy that pokes itself up through the blacktop and blooms. That same Spirit is insisting that Life flow through each of us.
We resist It. Rather, our human mind resists It. We believe what we read in the papers, we believe what others tell us about who we are and what we can achieve, we doubt ourSelf, and we dwell in the land of ego and human mind.
It, our Godchip knows nothing of impossible or can’t. It IS. It knows all things are possible so it keeps on ising away, insisting Life and all Possibilities. The human mind resists these thoughts, and this takes enormous energy to keep the Truth buried.
The normal treatment these days for depression is the administration of anti-depressant drugs, which can for a short time, lift your mood and temporarily make you feel a bit better.
However, the journey of awakening and living a conscious life requires your participation. Certainly you can live on anti-depressants or St. John’s Wort for the duration, but you won’t feel the magnificence of Life flowing through you as you will when you actually stop resisting your Greatness and become It.
The economic depression is a mirror for the enormous amount of pent up personal Greatness in America. We are becoming Who We Really Are. The ego, the human mind, puts up quite a fight.
Imagine how we will soar when we stop resisting our Godchips and allow ourselves to become Who We Really Are? Magnificent. And, by the way, the world will look so different then, because we will be transformed, first.
Thanks for reading!
