Global Consciousness: Love Includes Everybody
Posted by: | Comments2009-04-19
Good Day Everyone,
Recently there is media evidence that Love includes everyone is reaching the global political frontier. This is Good News, indeed.
First up is Cuba. Since Fidel Castro stepped aside turning control over to his brother, Raul Castro has stated that he’s ready to discuss “human rights, freedom of the press, political prisoners — everything.“ This is in response to President Obama saying, “The United States seeks a new beginning with Cuba.” Bravo! It is so overdue.
North and South Korea are talking again.
Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez has asked that diplomatic relations be restored between the US and Venezuela as a result of the Western Hemisphere Summit this past week in Port of Spain, Trinidad where 34 nations sat together to communicate. The Free Flowing of Source Energy is beautiful thing.
Even Iran is trying to have a new relationship with the US. Yesterday, President of Iran, Ahmadinejad instructed chief Tehran prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi to personally ensure that “suspects be given all their rights to defend themselves” against the charges. “Prepare for the court proceedings … to observe and apply justice precisely,” the IRNA state news agency quoted the president as saying. Ahmadinejad gave the clearest signal yet that Iran too was ready for a new relationship with the U.S.
Little by little we are talking to each other, once again. We are all in the family of man, we are all within God, we are all One.
It heartens me that we have a President that is leading this effort because he understands that Love includes, rather than excludes. These things will take time, of course, as people on all sides are reluctant to release fear, doubt and mistrust.
However, it is a beginning of a New Energy Flow in a New direction. The impossible is possible, we can live together in peace.

Conservatism: A New View
Posted by: | Comments2009-03-14
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!

Election 2008: The Consciousness Vote
Posted by: | Comments2009-10-25
Hello Everyone,
I’m going to depart from my practical “Well Being” messages today and talk about the election.
I imagine that for most of you, you’ve been pretty much bombarded with campaign rhetoric via television, radio, and other media. I don’t have television, so I’ve pretty much missed all the muck-raking. However, this week I was at a friend’s house and saw two ads, one for each candidate and that reminded me of what I have been “missing”. Also this week I turned on the radio. Don’t ask me why, but I did and, of course, heard a few ads there.
For the most part I have tried to remain neutral and weigh up the candidates and the issues on our American table.
This week it occurred to me that this race is all about consciousness. Entirely.
Well, I suppose every race has been about consciousness, but never quite like this. In 1968 we were in the midst of a great consciousness shift in America. At that time I think I can speak for everyone who was of age during that time; most of us experienced it as chaos and couldn’t quite figure out what the heck was going on.
We are in another consciousness shift, now. America is in the middle of a consciousness shift. It is the process of conscious evolution. Now what the heck does that mean?
Consciousness includes a lot of ideas: awareness of your environment, yourself, and especially, God consciousness or Source awareness in your everyday human thinking and life application.
What is happening in this consciousness shift is the evolution of mankind, in consciousness, into a higher level of consciousness – including more Source (God) into your human-mind thinking. This is huge. It is “scheduled”. It is supported by Source, or all of heaven and the Universe, however you would like to think of it. We are in the Cosmic Tractor Beam and we are being raised up into Light and Life, or the Christed Consciousness. This is understood to be the realization of Oneness with no separation from Source. Christed Consciousness is that Oneness with Source. It is not a person. It is that consciousness that Jesus achieved (as well as others), while in the physical body. Guess what? We are doing it, now.
In short, we are being called to become spiritually mature. This is hard work for humans who have been in limited human-mind thinking for a very, very long time. And, some of us are kicking and screaming the whole way.
New ideas and new thoughts posed are scary to the status quo. What has always been the way, is up for review and improvement with “new” thinking.
When I speak about “new thinking”, I am speaking about Inspired Thoughts and Ideas with more God (Source) included in the thought. These are the inspirations that come in response to asking for inspiration and guidance. We ask because our experience in the physical is less than what we want. And when we ask, isn’t it because we want things to change? And when change comes, why are we so afraid to move and grow?
This Election 2008 is all about the evolution of human consciousness into our Realization of Oneness. I just don’t think I’ve ever seen it so clearly before.
Senator McCain is a lovely man, who has served his nation for a long time. I admire him and his contributions to the planet and to America. Senator McCain also represents the old thought, the stepping stones and launch pad from which we can and will create anew. There is nothing about Senator McCain that I would attack, belittle or malign, because he has always been doing his very best to serve his country and people. I honor him and thank him profoundly for his beingness.
Senator Obama is a lovely man as well, who has been serving his country and people for a shorter time. However, Senator Obama embraces the new thought and is more expansive. Senator Obama represents a bridge from the old thought to the new. He, too, is a sincere man. Actually, I think it is quite wonderful to have the choice in this election between two honorable men. However, the consciousness of Senator Obama incorporates more expanded Source thought, that includes rather than excludes. He is centered and seems to have a limitless capacity to be even tempered, unafraid of input and ideas, and willing to explore possibilities. To me this is the quality that America requires for her rebirth and Renaissance.
This is a consciousness revolution, folks. The only way to know is to feel your way though it, not listen to worldly issue debates, which degenerate into pettiness. Both men are of excellent character with honorable and good intentions. The question is: which will lead us forward, include our inspired ideas, and help us to reform this great experiment in freedom that we call America.
My vote, which was mailed in a week ago, was for Senator Obama. I am eternally grateful for each and every person and step that has brought us all to this now moment where we get to choose, once again. Wow. We get to choose.
Genesis 19:26 (New International Version)
26 But Lot’s wife looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.
Luke 17:31-33 (New International Version)
31On that day no one who is on the roof of his house, with his goods inside, should go down to get them. Likewise, no one in the field should go back for anything. 32Remember Lot’s wife! 33Whoever tries to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.
Let’s look forward and upward; let go of the past and get on with creating anew in Oneness.

Staying In Well Being: Mastering Focus Part III
Posted by: | Comments2008-10-21
Hello Everyone,
This is the third blog in a series devoted to helping your keep your eyes and therefore your internal state in Well Being.
Obviously this is going to require a bit of discipline on your part. You cannot be slipping in those talk shows, reality shows and daily infusions of CNN until you have become a selective sifter, and that doesn’t happen overnight.
These blogs are designed to help you in the short run from falling off the cliff into the abyss of anxiety and despair. Please, we don’t want you jumping, for heaven’s sake. Sometimes it can be all you can manage just to peel your eyes and ears away from the train wreck.
I wonder about that. Why is it that we cannot pass a car accident on the freeway or road kill without having to look at it? It’s the same thing. You read a headline of bad news and then continue on to read the whole article – let’s have more thought poison!
Ok. This week your assignment is to pull your eyes and ears away from anything and everything that causes you fear, anxiety, distress, heart palpitations, whatever awful feeling.
You cannot dwell there. You have to remove your focus within 5 seconds of realizing this is not good for you. Actually, I dare you to not look.
Lots of folks are going to say this is the head-in-the-sand approach to life. Let them. For now, when you’re a beginner at Well Being, you have to take drastic measures. The first thing is to get yourself back into balance and feeling centered in Self and strong. In other words, the first thing is to soothe yourself back into Well Being. You can’t do that when you’re thinking you’ve just lost your kid’s college fund or your retirement.
Here’s the deal. Does it do any good to go there? Is there anything you can do about it right now? Ok. So once you’ve looked, you’ve got the information, you’ve got 5 seconds to change the channel; and change the channel you must.
Here’s your process:
1. Take in the information and feel your emotional reaction.
2. If negative in anyway, you have 5 seconds to change the channel. This may literally be changing the channel on the car radio or on the TV. You might even consider turning it OFF.
3. Breathe. Sit with it and breathe while you’re having your worst thought. Keep bloody well breathing as deeply as possible.
4. Now, as quickly as possible, find another thought that makes you feel a bit better. It might be, “There’s nothing to be done about this right now.” or “The way will come to me.” or “Wow.” Or maybe do a Scarlett O’Hara and say, “I’ll just think about this tomorrow.”
What is most important for you to get is that you do not have to dwell on any subject that doesn’t feel good to you. In fact, it is wise to shift your thought focus just as quickly as your human mind will let you. And remember, you have free will to tell your human mind where it will focus. You get to choose where, when and for how long you’re going to keep yourself miserable.
I think I can hear some of you saying, “What? I need to DO something!” Well, maybe you do, LATER. But you never, ever want to DO anything when you’re feeling less than connected, which is feeling Good and Strong. Anything you might do from a place of disconnection with Source will only lead to more of the same. It’s the spiral downward being accelerated by the Law of Attraction, which is a physical law.
This is probably the place where you’re going to spend the most amount of time, right here arguing with yourself. Your human mind is going to be shouting “DO SOMETHING!” Your Godchip is going to be whispering, “BE STILL AND LISTEN.”
This is where you really have to hook up your free will and tell your human mind to sit down and shut up, you’ll give it directions just as soon as you’ve Connected with your Godchip and feel that Well Being and direction.
Practice, apply, in the moment right now. This is where you are either Applying your Spirituality or you are cutting it off. Why not use it when you need it most, which is now.

Becoming A Selective Sifter of Information
Posted by: | Comments2009-10-13
Good Day Everyone,
Today is part 2 in becoming the master of your own reality. Today we’re going to talk about becoming a selective sifter of all the information that comes your way.
How do you know what to pay attention to and what to let fall through the sifter. Good question and very good to master.
First of all, the most important thing is to be tuned in to your internal guidance system. This is otherwise experienced by you as the emotional responses you feel in your gut.
When you are taking in information from any source, friend, family, CNN, the newspaper, your IGS will be monitoring it for its relevance to you. Specifically, it will be monitoring your focus for things that are for your GOOD. That is its job. It is constantly telling you by how you feel if what you are focused on is on the path for your GOOD.
This is because your IGS is your Godchip and is always in Well Being and living out the results of your desires – It is actually enjoying your dreams already. So there’s your IGS skipity doo dahing in your dreams and fantasies, having a really GOOD time.
Now, let’s say say your fantasy dream is that you want to be wealthy, prosperous, and financial stable. Your IGS is already experiencing the FEELING of that success, your very dream come true. You, however, remain glued to the financial news on CNN watching the Dow plummet. You’re reading everything you can about the banks failures and who’s to blame. You FEEL your stomach turn sour, your neck is tight, a migraine is coming on. Those FEELINGS are your IGS NOT joining you in those thoughts. In other words, you are feeling the pain of that gap between your human mind focus/thoughts and your Godchip, which is in complete and utter fulfillment of your desire. That gap, the absence of GOOD (your Godchip), does not feel good to you.
Now, let’s say you have that same desire for wealth, prosperity, and financial stability. This time you focus yourself on stories of people that have achieved financial prosperity, their methods and strategies, or you simply imagine how wonderful it would feel to be there. The longer your focus is on the success of what you are desiring, the better you feel. New ideas join these thoughts, as you feel that success more and more. That you feel GOOD is telling you that you are closing that gap between your human mind and your Godchip who is living that success and its fulfillment.
Ok. Now it’s every day life, you’re going about your day and you have the radio on. The news comes on and it’s about some doom story. What do you do? You change the channel. You find something that feels GOOD to you. Try on some up beat music and sing along or find a talk show that FEELS good to you, or better still, turn it off and CHOOSE some thought that raise your vibration.
Now let’s say you’ve paid for a seminar and the lecturer goes off on a tangent describing to you all manner of traumatic failures, because these people just didn’t follow his advice. What do you do? You have several choices: 1.) you can go to the bathroom and come back when he starts talking about positive stuff; 2.) you can tune out, write a letter to your sweetheart and tune back in when he gets to the GOOD stuff; 3.) you can listen and simultaneously edit saying things to yourself like, “This is only true for someone who places his authority in you, buddy, not me. I know about the Law of Attraction and I know that I control my vibrational countenance.”
In absolutely everything in every minute of your day you have to be aware of how you are feeling. If someone in the break room is talking about how miserable he/she is or how sick someone is, or whatever misery is being hashed out, you get to LEAVE. You have the freedom, the right and the responsibility to change your mind and not be available for vibrations that do not FEEL GOOD to you.
It is very simple: garbage in yields garbage out. You don’t have to voice anything to anybody; that is not your job. Your job is your vibration and your control is over your focus. Have some standard comments ready such as, “You know what, I just remembered, I have to make a call. If you’ll excuse me.” Or “I’ll be back….”
The point is you have made a choice FOR yourself, not against them, so you have no judgment about what they are talking about, all you know is, it’s not for you.
My personal favorite, “Gotta Go!”
These are dramatic times that offer the perfect opportunity to become a very selective sifter of the data that comes in to you. These times are perfect for becoming the master of your focus and teaching yourself that you are, indeed, in complete control of how you FEEL. Master this, and you’ve pretty much mastered your life.
Next week we’ll talk about what to focus on.
Remember, apply, apply, apply. It doesn’t work if you don’t use it.
Thanks for reading!

Fear: Our National Shadow
Posted by: | Comments2009-09-16
Hello Everyone,
Like all of us, I work constantly to make sense out of every day events; I seek to understand them from the perspective of Source, and the evolution of our species.
Today in response to my asking, a very enlightened view came into my inbox from Deepak Chopra. I’ve met Deepak on two separate occasions. The first was upon finishing my first book, Well Done: A Story of Applied Spirituality
Ever since the Republicans offered us Sarah Palin, I’ve been scratching my head. She’s a lovely woman and truly a dynamo, but as to the question: is she presidential material? I keep coming back to I just don’t see/feel it.
I live in a very small town in the mountains. I have also lived in Montana. In places such as this all you have to do is stand up and you, too, can become a “leader”. This, trust me, doesn’t mean you know beans about anything, it just means you saw the opening and filled it. It is not hard to be a leader in a backwoods community.
Despite that, there was still something else… something puppet like or Stepford-wife like.
Then, I got it. Palin is the “good girl” who espouses the patriarchal values, even though they are not in her best interest as a woman. I used to be one of them. Chopra speaks of Palin as the “shadow side”. He is correct. The shadow is the driving force rooted in fear that will do just about anything to keep you from embracing your GodSelf.
Obama is appealing to us, as a people, to reach for our Highest Self, which requires leaving your fears behind and boldly going forward into a new adventure.
There is an expression, if not an observable phenomenon, in inner growth work that goes like this: when you call forth your Highest Good and reach for better and more; all that is unlike it comes up first for clearing. I have personally experienced this in my own life, but missed the phenomenon that it happens collectively as well. This is where Deepak nailed it.
Temptation comes in pleasing forms and shapes. Certainly Sara Palin is just that; but she does represent the pleasing shadow, but shadow none the less, as what she offer us is still rooted in fear and limitations.
This is a giant turning point in the road for Americans. They sold us fear and have led us like lemming via fear thus far. Aren’t you sick of being afraid yet?
There is nothing for us to be afraid of, unless of course you are afraid. Then, you stay enslaved. That’s pretty scary to me.
Patrick Henry said it best, “Give me liberty or give me death.” Personally, I choose liberty – from fear and those who would use that as a substitute for leadership.

The Democratic National Convention: All the Right Things for All the Right Reasons
Posted by: | Comments2008-08-31
Hello Everyone,
Wow, talk about an inspirational week! I was simply captivated by the Democratic National Convention. Not by the words, but by the energy. Hopeful, positive, uplifting and determined.
Yeah! Doing and saying all the right things; for all the right reasons – it feels Good.
By the way, I was able to watch it on my laptop! After downloading a few things, I watched right from the DNC site. This, as you know, because I don’t have commercial television access.
I wrote somethings down while I was listening:
Jesse Jackson, Jr. said something cool, “What Unites us is greater that what divides us.” Well said, Jesse! And that thing that unites us is…our Godchip. Same for each of us, and in equal measure.
Here. here.
“We are all called to a better country.” Ted Kennedy. We certainly are. We deserve a better country, and we can make it happen, to be sure
“The Dream Lives On.” Ted Kennedy. It’s the dream we all dreamed before we came in, the dream of knowing the abundance we already live in, remembering Who We Really Are right here, right now, to choose again what is next and create in Love.
Claire McCaskill, “Anyone can accomplish anything!” Of course. We are God having a physical experience. Once we learn to focus that Source energy with persistent focus, we got it!
Michelle Obama, “We listened to our hopes instead of our fears; we started dreaming, instead of doubting.” Like Rip Van Winkle, John and Jane Does across America are awakening from their slumber. The distant strains of a very familiar tune are stirring deep within. “Yes, I AM.”
Barack Obama says with “hard work and sacrifice” we can do anything. Almost, Barack, try this one on:
with our consistent and persistent focus of our individual and collective Source Energy we can create the Dream into our physical Reality: heaven right here, on Earth.
By Jove, I think we’re starting to get IT! We’re beginning to apply our Spirits – consciously!
Thanks for reading! (I’m an Independent, by the way – and former Republican)
