December Idea of the Month

Be the illumination in your life.

At this time of year in the Northern Hemisphere, the days are short and the nights are long. That means we need and use a lot more artificial light. I just set up a few Christmas decorations in the house and the decorations I like best are the candles and strings of mini-lights. I tend to turn off the lamps and let these twinkling lights illuminate the room. But why do I like that?

To me, it just seems more magical. More special. More cozy. But spiritually, keeping the room lights low allows me to focus on the soft glow of a candle flame and the pinpoint spots of illumination from the strings of lights. I observe and surround myself in those lights. And light, metaphysically speaking, is knowledge. It is wisdom. Light is understanding. It is one of the qualities of God. At this time of year when sunlight is scarce, it actually makes me think more about it. I can be the light in my life. I can be the wisdom and understanding of Truth. I can pay more attention to it and let my spiritual understanding expand.

Light a candle for yourself. Be the light in your life. Shine light on the world. It needs more understanding and wisdom.
Happy Holidays to all.

Until next time,
Namaste

New book coming soon!

We are thrilled to announce a new title from Conscious Kernels coming soon: The Metaphysical Power of the Runes.

Are you familiar with the Runes? These ancient symbols first found carved on rocks around 150 A.D. are thought to be an alphabet of sorts and have been used more recently by New Age enthusiasts for divination purposes.

This exciting new book will show you the connection between casting Rune stones and getting in touch with the Indwelling Spirit. Through the insightful metaphysical, New Thought interpretations found only in this book, you can communicate with the Spirit within you. This new science is the first of its kind!

Find out what is going on with your subconscious mind; ask for guidance from Infinite Intelligence, all through the channel of the Runes. Empower your spoken affirmations with the assistance of the symbols of the Runes which can connect directly with your subconscious. Speak directly to your subjective mind through the use of runic symbols.

Author P.J. Caiden has taken his vast knowledge of the traditional Runes, his experience as a certified hypnotherapist, and his insights and understandings of New Thought principles to create a one-of-a-kind book designed to help readers in all areas of their lives.

This is a magnificent new tool for all of us to learn to use in our continuing journey of spiritual growth. Conscious Kernels is excited and honored to offer this new book to the public.

Just for our Conscious Kernels friends, pre-order your copy now. Sign up now to get on the waiting list, and you will receive a 30% discount when the book goes on sale. Pay nothing now. But get on the list. The discount will only be available for the first three weeks the book goes on sale.

November Idea of the Month

Gratitude is associated with the month of November in the U.S. because of the Thanksgiving holiday. It still amazes me that Abraham Lincoln had the insight to create a national holiday just for giving thanks.

We all have much to be thankful for. Let us all see everything we can be grateful for. Recognize it. It will change your mental atmosphere and change your life.

What do you have to say about gratitude? It is not just platitudes! Gratitude is a spiritual force. It is an attracting power. It is easy to do. Add gratitude to your spiritual practice. It is a pure and simple communion with God.

(I am grateful to everyone who reads this blog and takes the time to comment!)

Until next time.

October Idea of the Month

This month in the newsletter I talk about Choice.

Choice is one of the greatest powers we have been given by Spirit. Choice determines and changes your life. Your choice of thoughts, your choice of feelings, your choice of beliefs, and your choice of actions. Each and every one of these will determine what happens in your life.

How much conscious attention do you give to your choices? Or are you one of the many people who go through life with the "I've always done it this way" mantra? "I've always been this way." "I've always thought this way."

Now is a great time to think about your choices and WHY you choose what you choose. If you do a little digging, you may find some very silly or outdated reasons for your choices.

Now I don't want to get all political in this blog, but I have to say, for those of us in the United States, we have a choice coming up on Nov. 2. It is called election day. Your choice to even choose to vote is critical. And once you get into that voting booth, your choices in there will profoundly affect your life and the lives of everyone in this country. I won't tell you how to vote (although I would like to!), but I ask that you at least become conscious of your choices and the outcomes of your choices. Think about the future that will result from your choices. Think about what we went through under 8 years of a Republican administration and what a mess was left in its wake. Think about what a Republican control of Congress would be like for the next 2 years: political games and nothing getting done -- I only say this because they have actually promised to do nothing. Can you guess which way I suggest you vote?

The result of this election will reflect the collective consciousness of the United States. Do we want to protect our environment, end wars, help the sick, protect the average citizen, educate our children, and respect our seniors OR are we back to a consciousness of every man for himself regardless of the damage it may cause to the planet and our fellow human beings?

It will be interesting to see where our consciousness is. I know where my conscious choice is. I plan to tally it in the voting booth. I invite you to do the same.

Until next time.

September Idea of the Month

This month we are talking about a recommitment to the Truth.

It is not unusual to get caught up in our human intellect which judges based on appearances alone.

This recommitment to the Truth is to look beyond mere appearances and to realize and recognize that there is more to Life than just the appearance. We can know that behind every seeming limitation is the Limitlessness of Spirit. Behind every appearance of illness is health. Behind every appearance of lack is abundance. Behind every appearance of disharmony is harmony. Behind every appearance of failure is success.

Yes, we deal with the reality of the appearance, but we think and believe and act from the place of the Ultimate and Absolute Truth.

We don't ignore the appearance, but we see it for what it really is: a conditional, temporary, physical effect. Not absolute. Not permanent. Not cause.

If we believe only what we see, we will only get more of the same. We can change any physical effect when we start from Spiritual Cause. Know the Truth that there is only Good operating in this Universe.

August Idea of the Month

This month we are talking about looking for, waiting for and getting impatient about our demonstrations. We have sowed our seeds, we have planted our ideas and desires in mind and so now, where are they?

We keep waiting for them. We keep looking for them. We keep asking, where is the manifestation we want so badly.

I know this may be hard to do, but hang in there. Even though you may not see your demonstration in physical form just yet, do not assume it is not there or on its way to you. The physical form is the last part of the creative process. It is the natural outcome of what is done in Mind. Stay within yourself and know your desires are met and exceeded by the perfect outpicturing of the Law.

Let the Law do its work and know it is happening in the perfect way at the perfect time. And in this perfect timing, YOU are becoming the person you need to be in order for this demonstration to take place. You are growing into your demonstration, so give yourself the kindness of allowing this growth.

Keep doing your best, giving your best and you cannot help but be rewarded. Keep that in mind.

What are your thoughts? Is that too Pollyanna-ish? Post your comments. Let's get a conversation going!
