Evolution: All About Consciousness
Posted by: | CommentsGood Day Everyone!
What is so interesting to me is that scientists conduct studies about evolution only as it pertains to biology, as if biology and consciousness weren’t inter-related. For example, in the study they conclude that due to natural selection, women in Farmingham, Mass (subjects of the study were participants in Framingham Heart Study will be 2cm shorter due to natural selection over time.
However, no one studied the elements of the choices that were inherent in their selections for mating. Those elements of choice, which reflect the individual’s attitudes, beliefs, and degree of awareness (consciousness), are what drove the selection choice initially.
The Evolution of Consciousness
Way, way back, Neanderthal people were highly developed physically. We suppose that they were not mentally developed. However, their choices (consciousness) drove them to hunt and track for food and survive their environment, which made the physicality highly developed.
As ‘time’ marched on (long stretches of it), their “desires” for easier, warmer, led them to increased awareness for ideas such as fire, wheel, team work, etc. These “new” inventions, led over more large stretches of time to the physical changes right up to current day.
The earth, mankind, the Universe, changes and expands with each and every new desire that issues forth from every single living thing. It is an elegant process, slow and deliberate, which creates the next version of what we see manifested in physical format.
Steve Jones, an evolutionary biologist at University College London says, “Uniquely in the living world, what makes humans what we are is in our minds, in our society, and not in our evolution.”
Here! Here! Mr. Jones. Finally!
We are choosing every single bit of our reality from the quality of our DNA to the quality of our fuels. Everything goes into the big mix, and when we come up with something (result) that we don’t like, we desire something better, and thus the evolution and expansion of consciousness and physicality go hand in hand. We have the power to change our DNA.
For now, though, it’s lovely to see science knocking on the door of consciousness as the thing that drives absolutely everyone and everything.

Prayer of Appreciation
Posted by: | CommentsGood Day Everyone!
The single most effective prayer is the prayer of appreciation.
What is a prayer of appreciation?
Anytime you are focused on something and appreciating some aspect of it. It is the opposite of criticism. For all practical purposes, prayer is an internal attitude which you are emanating outward as your vibrational countenance, which by the Law of Attraction, Source is matching.
The very best “object” of your appreciation which is in closest alignment with Source, or God, is appreciation of yourSelf. In short, loving and appreciation who you are is the closest vibrational match to God there is.
Imagine that?
Try this for a few weeks. Your intention each morning is to go throughout your day looking for things, people, ideas – anything – that you can appreciate. You intend each day to be the sleuth of those thinks that you like, that put a smile on your face, that make you twinkle back!
After making this a habit, you’ll see a marked difference in the things that are coming into your life. They get better and better. Do this long enough and your life choices go from where you began to good, to great, to wonderful, to stupendous, to fabulous…
And this folks, is very simply how you change your life. It’s entirely up to you and your choice of focus.
Shall we start? Now.

Healthcare: A Right or Not?
Posted by: | CommentsGood Day Everyone,
I so applaud us as a nation for undertaking the great debate on health care. Not because I have a vested interested either way, but because it opens up such a can of worms of beliefs that we must deal with first before we can come to any consensus of what to do.
I’m thinking that at the heart of the debate of the forms of health care is the issue of whether or not health care is a right or a privilege in America. This is really something we’ve never talked about. We hash about the flag, and voting, and speech – but this is something we’ve never asked ourselves. And probably that’s the first thing we should tackle before we attempt any reform in the health care system.
As you can probably see, if we decide that it’s a right, then it becomes something that we have to protect for each and every individual. Right away people divide into liberal and conservative thinking lines: more government or less government and the labeling starts to fly. As we all know, once labels start being bantied about, people stop listening to the idea if it happens to be coming from a source other than their particular political persuasion. From that point on it devolves into name calling and it gets ugly, nothing gets done, and all we do is squabble.
If on the other hand we decide it’s a privilege, then that doesn’t feel right either, because it cuts against the core of Who We Really Are – love. But alas, love is not considered valid in a political debate. What to do? What to do?
Complete and perfect health is our inheritance, our birthright just as freedom and joy are. The conundrum comes when we look out into the world and see so much of just the opposite. We know in our core beingness that everyone deserves complete and perfect health just as they are endowed with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our mistake is thinking that we can legislate such a thing, when it is totally a personal state of beingness that brings this to manifestation or not.
Out of the human-mind’s belief in separation from Source we have created a gigantic mindset of health, health care methods, medicine, hospitals, doctors, medicines, pharmacy, herbs, chiropractic, accupuncture, etc. to support the body, to create health, to restore well being.
What has been forgotten is that the state of wellness is our natural state of being if we are aligned with It; that is to say if we have closed the gap of separation between our human mind’s belief and our Godself knowing of only Well Being. When any individual closes this gap, complete and perfect health is made manifest in that moment. Modern medicine calls this a miracle, but in Truth access to this is equally available to each and every person.
So, complete and perfect health is our birthright, just as all the other freedoms delineated in the Declaration of Independence. Realization of them is an inside job, applying our spirituality and creating deliberately the life experience we choose. The realization of heaven on earth is all about a state of being, not legislation.
Is health care a right or a privilege? It’s not a right, but the laws of love demand that we support individual physicality whilst they are actively gaining the consciousness of Oneness. Now how about a discussion of importance of applied spirituality with respect to health care and the sovereign ability of an individual to respond to Life and create their own reality.
Who Are We Really Forgiving
Posted by: | CommentsGood Morning Everyone,
Recently I’ve been brought to my wee knees in a realization that first rocked me, then relieved me. I want to share it with you.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been vexed by several different situations.
One involved a dear friend, whose personal situation really made me mad. Her situation didn’t affect me in anyway, shape or form, but that she found herself in her situation really angered me.
Another involved two dear friends of mine, married for a very long time, whose personal dynamic between themselves angered me.
Then, two situations involving me, where people failed to live up to their agreements, but also failed to realize how much value I had put into the situation, ignored that, and then, demanded even more of me as if I’d given nothing.
I tell you these things, because I know that I am just like you. I walk through my days endeavoring to do my very best, to be more Godlike, to bring more love into the world and then, bam! Like Wylie Coyote, I find myself a puddle at the base of a wall wondering what the heck happened here.
The “wall” was my inability to forgive. Everyday across America we pray: “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” All of us know these words, and pray them, but today I understand them. This is what I want to share with you today.
Joel Goldsmith in his book, The Thunder of Silence
So the real spiritual journey is not about becoming good humans, but rather to realize our freedom. We need nothing from anyone. We release everyone from their obligations, when we realize our Oneness with Source, where everything is complete, fulfilled and whole. No one need to be or do something for our happiness.
My big Ah-Ha! this morning was that any block in consciousness is an impediment to the realization of Oneness,not just hatred or anger. The obvious blocks are :he did this to me, but I choose to forgive and turn my cheek. But that’s just the beginning of the True meaning.
The rest of it is that any “judgment” on someone else: he/she didn’t try hard enough, therefore didn’t meet my expectations, do enough and so fell short in someway – these are seeing something other than God. This is buying into the belief of two powers, not One. This is the “lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil” part. The temptation to believe that there is anything other than God, Source, Oneness.
Now, for the explosive kicker. By the Law of Attraction, these people, situations and dramas came into my personal experience one after the other, increasing the emotion of anger within me. By last night if I could have left myself, I would have. Instead, I went for a swim in the light of the full moon and asked for illumination, which I received this morning.
These people, these circumstances came to me by the Law of Attraction. Like attracting like thoughts. These people, these circumstances are my mirror: they reflect back to me what I am thinking, believing about….me. Holy smokes.
Only once before can I recall feeling this conviction so clearly. All at once I know it is True ;and it doesn’t feel good to realize that which I perceive is me. I mean, UGH!
But I pressed on this morning, because I want released from this prison of ‘ugh ‘that I’ve been feeling. I have kept myself in bondage; but the key to the prison door was in the realization that I hold these self same judgments, which I have transposed on to my friends, on myself. Oh, double ARG! And then, double Ah-HA! Relief.
So it is not just forgiving others my perception of their shortcomings after all. In Truth I am to forgive myself – releasing myself from my own judgments and condemnations of my shortcomings and failings.
Forgive me for failing to see that my human self is not, after all, Who I REally Am.
So, miraculously once I got that big twig out of my own eye, I am able to see that the human self that others show me (my own human self) is not Who They Really Are and is certainly not Who I Really Am. That I was tempted to see something other than God, in them, showed me that I am seeing something other than God in myself. It is I who have bought into the human belief of duality – something other than Source.
“Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Forgive me for failing to see my own Oneness, Who I Really Am; and forgive those who fail to see the God in me.
This is why we pray for our enemies: they are a gift to us. They are our mirror to show us our own consciousness blocks which block our own Realization of Oneness and block our liberty.
Such Perfection for which I am grateful…and now I am relieved and feel Good once again.

Soothing Someone Back Into Well Being
Posted by: | CommentsGood Morning Everyone,
Recently I heard the best story. It involves friends of mine in Descanso. Jack is involved with Parkinson’s. When I lived in Descanso, I used to go over to Jack and Doreen’s because I just loved them as people and I would do energy work on both of them. Those times with them were amazing and fun. As the symptoms of Parkinson’s progressed in Jack, Doreen moved with elegance to assist and care for him, as she still does.
Doreen is the portrait of True Love. She and Jack are entirely devoted to each other. They came to the US from Scotland back in the 60′s. Jack’s trade was that he was a glass man. So they started their own window and stained glass company, which is now run by their eldest daughter.
Jack is the quintessential Scot; he plays the bagpipes and has read every Scottish author and poet, and can quote them all. Together they are simply a joy to be around. As a couple they love and respect each other fundamentally. Even in this difficult circumstance, I have never heard them utter a disparaging word or use an insulting tone. It just isn’t in their awareness, so replete is their joy in each other.
As time as gone on, Jack’s ability to move about and communicate has become severely hampered. Doreen literally lifts him from his bed and moves him to place to place. And only she can understand his communications at this point, so in tune are they with each other.
Recently in Southern California the temperatures have topped 100 degrees over many days with crippling humidity.
The neighborhood guys got an idea. Once a week these fellows gather at Jack and Doreen’s house to play snooker, although Jack can’t play anymore, they have continued to come and have their weekly game including Jack in their fun.
Well, seems Tom, a neighbor, got the idea that if they all helped, they could take Jack on a field trip to his house where he has a swimming pool. This was executed last week.
The guys came and got Jack and they all trooped over to Tom’s house where they had a pool party. Jack, included. They got Jack into the swimming pool, where for 2 uninterrupted hours, Jack was in heaven, diverted from the constancy of the Parkinson’s.
He floated and wiggled and felt his body weightless and cool – almost free. For two hours, Jack was back in Well Being, diverted from his usual focus – the prison of his body.
According to all reports, a magical time was had by all.
The greatest gift we can give anyone who is focused on something “unwanted” is to soothe them back into Well Being. These guys, his friends and neighbors, and fellow Light Beings did just that.
When someone can be diverted from what is (unwanted) and soothed back into Oneness, that vibration goes out into the Universe and is answered. What is more is that in this place of Well Being, Jack is allowing his Good to be received. Amen.
Of course I know these guys, and all I can say is that I’ve never heard of a more wonderful INSPIRATION and just hearing the story put the biggest smile on my face. Well done, indeed, guys. Very, very well done.

Use Death As Your Advisor
Posted by: | Comments2009-07-02
Good Morning Everyone,
Years ago I had a friend who said, “Use Death as your adviser.”
Now normally humans spend as little effort as possible thinking about death. In fact we fear death. Who the heck would spend any time thinking about it? Yet, I found her advice compelling and wise.
The first thought that came to me was that if I were using Death as my adviser, It would change my perspective. Rather than thinking that I had all the time in the world, I would now view my decisions with more immediacy.
I wouldn’t procrastinate.
Rather, I’d get off my bumm and start living the life I wanted to be living right now and having the experiences that I wanted to experience. That thought alone coined a phrase for me, This Life is Not a Dress Rehursal. My life is right now, right here. Am I having fun? Am I doing the things I value? Am I meeting and exceeding the ideals that matter most to me – right now, today, with the people and circumstances at hand?
With this more urgent and immediate view of my life, today, this minute – would I choose to pick a fight, say something mean, let my ego lead the discussion, damage a friendship, divide or would I now choose to bring more love into the world?
Using Death as your adviser refocuses you on the priorities and the importance of this minute. What is it that you value with this person? What is it you value about how you feel about yourself? The choice is right now in every interaction: driving on the freeway, in the board room, at family dinner, at the gym, in the grocery.
It has been my observation that those who mourn the passing of loved ones most bitterly are those who have regrets and unfinished business. The regrets are always the lack of love or the expression of that love, which would have required opening the heart, but the ego ruled. Standing on principle, rather than the correct principle of Love, is always cause for regret. And unfinished business with someone is always about not being True to yourSelf.
Of course the premise is that once these people pass from view there is nothing you can do to put things to rights. They’re dead, of course, so we presume the opportunity is lost forever to make amends, express that love, or redeem yourSelf.
This is patently unTrue, but we believe that, which makes the pain all the more.
Time to understand death as an integral part of life and use the understanding to live life full out. Love like there’s no tomorrow; dance as if no one were watching; and be True to yourSelf.

Swine Flu: 7 Techniques To Stay Well
Posted by: | Comments2009-05-01
Good Morning Everyone!
I’d like to give you an New View on the latest fearful topic: swine flu.
Let’s talk about life and all the subjects in life like a buffet. The biggest buffet table in the world. It has every subject on it possible. Everything gets to be here.
As you scan the buffet table for things to “eat”, your eyes notice many things you don’t like: liver, broccoli, lima beans, tapioca, fill in here what you don’t like. Now, do you stand there dwelling on that spinach and how much you hate it? Of course not. Your eyes notice it, and they keep moving until they find something that looks delicious and appealing, right?
Same thing with all the subjects in the world. Just because the news puts it in front of you, doesn’t mean you have to internalize it. Doesn’t even mean you have to believe it. You can note it; thanks for sharing, and keep moving your focus to something that pleases you. You have the free will to do that.
So technique number one is to refocus yourself onto a subject that gives you pleasure and joy – makes you feel Good. What might that be? Well, what makes you happy? Playing with your dog, or noticing what’s growing outside, or an idea you’re working on, or music, or dance, or….come on, you can do it. Find your bliss.
Technique number two is remembering how strong and resilient your body already is. Think back on how many cuts, scrapes, bruises, breaks, flu, colds, and other dis-eases you have already recovered from, because your body is connected to Infinite Intelligence and knows that its default position is Well. Prove it to yourself, restore your own faith in your own body.
Technique number three is to support your body in its wellness. Wash your hands, but while you are washing your hands, play. Have fun with it. Take a three minute mini-spa break for this. Smell the lovely soap, enjoy the warmth of the water, spend that time mentally (internally) feeling and enjoying the deliciousness of these few moments of pleasure and a break from whatever it was you were doing. Take these moments to envision a new adventure, a new joy, something lovely.
Technique number four is to enjoy and appreciate the lovely, nourishing foods that you have to eat that supply the nutrition that your body uses to create a strong immune system. Notice and appreciate the colors, textures and taste of these miraculous foods, and appreciate that your body knows exactly what to do with these nutrients for a strong and healthy body.
Technique number five is to consider other epidemics and that more people stayed well than did not. Focus on that. The Wellness.
Technique number six is to constantly refocus yourself back into alignment with Well Being. When you notice your thoughts drifting off into fear, worry and doubt – put that puppy back on the paper of Well Being, deliberately and consciously. Take responsibility for where you are focusing your Life Force, and consciously change your own channel.
Technique number seven is to go on a rant of appreciation. Find all the things you love and appreciate in life. The Law of Attraction says that what you focus on will get bigger and bigger until it finally manifests into your reality. Pay attention to what you are focusing on, and find the Good Stuff and stay there.
There is so much more Well Being than not; find it and appreciate all that Good. Much like you’d find that chocolate cake on the buffet table and participate in enjoying that.

The Fear Pandemic:
Posted by: | Comments2009-04-29
Good Morning Everyone,
Well, here we go again. Yet another thing to be afraid of: swine flu. Geez.
To my thinking, the pandemic is fear.
The question is: Are you buying in? That’s the only thing that really matters.
Listen for one minute with your mind in today’s world to words of wisdom and Connectedness from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in his first inaugural address.
Since Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and that little drama, we have had the choice of focusing on fear or Well Being. We call it good and evil; by any name it is the clear choice to focus on what is Well – Good – God.
The temptation is always to believe human-mind over Godmind. This is where you get to choose to apply your spirituality – your Life Force – your Attention – your consciousness. Because wherever you freely choose to focus is what you will indeed get more of; it’s Law.
People wonder why bad things happen to good people. It’s because they believe in the duality – something other than God and Well Being. Focused there, you get to create anything you want here on Earth, including your own demise.
You, me, we all are Creators of our own every day, moment to moment reality. We do it by the Laws of Physics. This Law is the Law of Attraction which says that thoughts are vibrational and the more you think them, the more they matter – become matter – become manifest and real in your reality.
It’s time to become the Spiritual Beings that we are right here, right now in the physical and take responsibiliy: it’s not hocus pocus the way we create, it’s physics, because we are physical creatures in a physical world and a physical universe. Where we are focused is what we get.
Turn off the television, stop watching the news, and get yourself reconnected with your own Godchip guiding you to your Good at every moment.
All is truly well, if you are focused on Well Being. Look for the Good – it’s full.
Thanks for reading!

Forgiveness: Balm For Your Soul
Posted by: | Comments2009-04-15
Good Morning Everyone!
A news item caught my attention yesterday as Livestation opened itself up on my computer. When the cyber faeries insist, I’m thinking I should pay attention. The story was about accused Nazi, John Demjanjuk, who was being carried from his home in Bath, Ohio for deportation.
Demjanjuk was obviously old and ill. At 89 he was a pathetic site, indeed. I wondered about the process, because it seems so vivid and cruel.
Years ago a friend and I were at a hospital where her father lay dying. He had been a very hard and cruel man to his family, according to her and her sisters. Now he was the same pathetic sight that Demjanjuk posed yesterday. She remarked to me in the hospital cafeteria, “You know, I think that sometimes you hate something so much that you become that thing you hate.” That was probably 35 years ago, and yet I remember it as vividly today as if I had heard it yesterday. It rang of Truth.
There ought to be a statute of limitations on hate. Of course this is our personal internal, spiritual work. Each of us, individually.
It’s not that these things happened so very long ago, it is the fact that hate, kept alive, only eats up the hater. This is what ought to be taught in every church, every synagog, every temple, and yes, even in schools.
Horrible deed set up a dramatic field of contrast in order that we might choose what we do want in the face of what we don’t want. When we see cruelty, such as I saw yesterday as they were carrying Demjanjuk out of his home, I immediately wished for kindness, compassion, and most of all enlightenment for all.
Some will argue that this is about justice. What about those 29,000 people that he is accused of being an accomplice to their genocide? Who will speak for them? I say that they are all in Well Being, in Oneness with Source, and know nothing of hatred and revenge. They know they are eternal beings and that there is only Love. It is only here on planet Earth, as we grapple with evolving our consciousness that we debate these issues.
The greatest argument that I can put forth for forgiveness harkens back to what my friend observed about the journey of her feelings for her father. She became him, that which she hated most.
Without forgiveness, hate eats us up in our biology, in our relationships, and in the quality of the life journey that we are keeping ourselves from enjoying. It ruins our lives, not theirs. Why should we forgive and forget? Because we deserve it; even if they don’t.
If we take just one individual, such as my friend, and now multiply that by the millions upon millions that “hate” for a “justified” cause, we now see why we are at war somewhere all the time. Hatred is then passed on to our beautiful children, who come in as pure Love. It is tantamount to poisoning our own Well. We think that we have to teach them about what horror was done to “us” all those years ago, so they will carry on our “fight”. But where is the Love in that? Where is the Goodness in this?
Forgiveness is the hardest thing a human can do. I know. But when we undertake that Soul work and move through it and get beyond it, there is a vista of infinite possibilities that cannot be seen through the cloud of hatred. There is so much more on the other side.
We are being called to become spiritual adults; to grow up. This is the personal work that has to be done one by one in order to see a new Earth. It isn’t about “them” or “those people”; it is all about the individual: you and me.
So the next time you hear yourself ranting about “them” or “him” or “her” and the outrageous thing they did, stop and listen to what you’re saying and feel the vile that is coursing through your body. This is what your hardened heart is doing to You.
That, dear reader, is the first step in the journey of forgiveness; a return to Love in your own consciousness.
Take the journey. It’s Good for You.

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!
