Happy New Year to all.
2010: metaphysically is comprised of the number 2 which represents polarity and balance and 1 which is unity and the zeros are amplifications of the 2 and the 1. The number 10 also means perfection. So this year is a wonderful opportunity to understand our balance and unity within ourselves and with others.
Which brings me to the Jan. newsletter feature article: "I'm OK, You're OK". No, this is not a review of the late 1960's pop psychology book by the same title (although I do have a copy of that book and should read it sometime!).
"I'm OK" is the very important ability to be self-accepting and self-approving which leads to self-worth and self-love. It is a high form of self-contemplation, which, if you have been reading my posts from way-back, is what it all boils down to.
Self-contemplation will determine what you create in your life. What you manifest with your thoughts and feelings. It is the cornerstone according to me and Thomas Troward!
So let's do a little less beating up on ourselves and this change in consciousness will also lead to a better relationship with all others. ("You're OK")
Read the whole article and you will see how this works. Sign up for the newsletter on the right of this page. Then go to the archives for the January issue.
Peace. Peace in your heart and Peace on Earth.
Until next time,
Namaste

December Ideas
In this month's issue of the Conscious Kernels Newsletter, I wrote about Health Prosperity. When we think of prosperity, it always seems to be about money. How much we have. How much we need. How much we want.
Prosperity is more than just that. And Prosperity Consciousness is definitely more than just knowing you have all the money you need.
How is your health? Do you take it for granted? Do you consider it part of your prosperity? As the old saying goes: "If you don't have your health, you don't have anything." Health is part of your prosperity consciousness -- or it should be. How can you enjoy money and all the things money can buy you if you are sick? If you are in pain? If you are worried if you will live another day?
Prosperity begins with gratitude. So the first thing we can all do is be grateful for our health. We can be grateful for the perfect health we are underneath all the other conditions. It is there. We just have to let the Law reveal it.
Enjoy your health. Become conscious of it. How great your lungs breathe. How fantastically your heart beats. How wonderfully your stomach processes food. That is the love of God acting as you.
And that is what prosperity is -- the loving givingness of God to us.
Until next time, Namaste

November Idea of the Month
November is associated with Thanksgiving here in the US. And giving thanks to such an important part of spiritual practice. In fact, it is SO important, it could suffice as your whole spiritual practice. It is that important.
In giving thanks, you have to give thanks to someone or something, right? Who or what is that? It would be the Divine Presence. It would be Universal Intelligence. It would be Divine Love. It would be God.
So just by giving thanks, you are acknowledging God in your life. You are acknowledging the Divine Presence -- its very existence and its action in your life.
Build up your thanks-giving muscle every day. A consistent practice of thanksgiving will raise your consciousness of the Divine in your life.
Until next time,

October Idea of the Month
In both the newsletter feature article (have you subscribed yet?!) and the Idea of the Month on the website (www.consciouskernels.com), we discuss the idea of claiming our good and demanding our good.
Do we have the right to claim our good? Are we in a position to demand our good? Where do we have to be in our self-contemplation to be in a position to claim and demand?
Do we believe it is the Father's good pleasure to give us the kingdom? Or are we on our own, scraping by and fighting for what we can get?
It is all in where you place yourself in the whole scheme of the Universe.
Tell me what you think. Are you able to demand your good?

September Idea of the Month
This month in the newsletter and on the website we are talking about FEAR! Maybe I should have saved that topic for the month that contains Halloween!
What are you afraid of? What are you fearful of? Fear is our most constant companion as far as feelings go. It is the most common and the most influential. Practically everything we do or don't do has associated with it any fearful consequences we can think of.
But if you break fear down into its most basic element, fear is only one thing: the belief in the absolute certainty that we are separate and apart from our good.
I'm over here and my good (safety, money, health, relationship, love, happiness, God) is over there, somewhere else.
This could not be further from the Truth. But we believe it anyway.
Think of an example of what you are fearful of and see if it ultimately leads to you believing that you do not have your good, or you are not with your good, or that you can be separate from your good (your good taken away from you). It ends up with that belief.
Now, how do you reduce any fear? Start reaffirming the Truth. You are your good are one. You cannot be separated from it. You cannot be separate of it.
I did not say this was easy. But it is simple when you think about it.
Share your fears. Then turn it around and think of an affirming Truth that will remove the fear or at least make it smaller and weaker.
Until next time,
Namaste

August Idea of the Month
This month in the newsletter, we talk about Willingness.
What are you willing to give, do, be? Especially the "give" part. What are you willing to give in any situation, whether that be a conflict, problem, challenge, in order for a desired outcome to be experienced?
Are you willing to give your money? Are you willing to give your time? Are you willing to lend a hand? Are you willing to let go?
Here's the loving part of Spirit though. Just by being willing, Spirit is going to more than meet you half way in the resolution of a challenge or in the manifesting of a desire.
You see, it is the willingness, the openness of heart, that shows Spirit that "you mean business." That you have the conviction and focus of what you say you want.
You cannot out-give God. When you say, in all sincerity, I am willing to give __________, Spirit, by its very nature, gives back to you more.
When I am willing to give of myself in any situation, it invariably turns out that the situation resolves itself without me actually having to do anything! The willingness sometimes is enough -- if it is sincere.
Say I'm willing to pick someone up at the airport. It is inconvenient, I have to change plans, etc. But I am willing to do it and as the day approaches, I prepare for it. Invariably, things will work out in a way that the person gets someone else to pick them up. Or they rent a car. Or they take public transportation. Whatever the particulars, it turns out that they don't need me to pick them up anymore.
Do you think that would have happened if I had moaned and complained and didn't prepare for picking them up? No. I would have had to pick them up and get to moan and complain and resent it even more!
A cheerful willingness will change your life. But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself and see if things don't work out for you just by being willing.
Let's here from people on whether this has worked for them. Post your experiences here.
Until next time.

July Idea of the Month and Feature Article
July, for the Idea of the Month, we discussed freedom and independence in conjunction with the US holiday of the Fourth of July (Independence Day). We are all free because we can think whatever we want to think. But are we at all independent? Independent of the limited and negative self-talk of race-thought? Most likely not! This is what we should declare on Independence Day -- our independence from judging by appearances, from going along with what most people think, from duality thinking of good and bad.
July's feature article is about doing our mental work -- treatment (or prayer) and then letting go and letting the Law do the work. Sometimes it is the most difficult thing to do -- letting go, not trying to control everything. Part of proper treatment work is saying your word, declaring your good and then letting Spiritual Law do the work. We try to manipulate conditions, we try to control other people. That is not how true creative manifesting happens.
Share your thoughts. Post your comments here.
Until next time.
Namaste.
