CURRENTS OF DIVINE LOVE FLOW THROUGH ME AND FROM MY SOUL IN PATTERNS OF LOVE.AND SO IT IS.

GOLDEN BRIDGE TO WORK
Morning Projection

Joyously, I go forward into my day--- exulting in the privilege and opportunity of doing  constructive and creative work all day long. I release all of my energies through my work. I am a channel through which limitless power flows. I move mountains. I perform mighty deeds. I am a worker. I am a builder. I am constructing monuments to God for all eternity.

"Whatsoever my hand findeth to do, I do it with all my might as unto the Lord and not unto men" As this is my attitude, of course all people profit from my endeavors. I am now in my right job, doing pleasant, constructive work which expresses me, helps others, and which offers progressive advancement with abundant and steady income.

I power glide into high gear today. I cruise easily and effortlessly through all tasks and assignments. I give thanks for my work. I do it well because " I of my self do nothing. The Father that dwelleth within me; He doeth the works." And so it is.

                                                                 
DAILY THOUGHTS ABOUT WORK

• Our attitudes toward our work determine how successful it will be.
• Success depends upon learning how to work on yourself, work with others, and work for a purpose.
• The two essential attitudes toward work are joy and pride.
• Change to a constructive attitude about work and your job will change for the better.
• Constructive work depend upon the "Five I s" : Imagination, Intelligence, Industry, Integrity, Initiative.
• Work is the means by which we find ourselves
• Work justifies our existence.   

Evening Retrospection                                    

Quietly now, I look back over my day's work. It has been a good day. I have done good work. I have made constructive and noteworthy contributions to the world's work. I work for God. I work to express the glory within. I do the very best I can at all times. I am an artisan of living; I am an artist of Life. I turn out only masterpieces.

I give thanks for the use that has been made of my time, my talent, and my energies today. I give thanks for the constructive good that has come from my creative efforts. I give thanks for the abundance of fulfillment which is mine.

As my mind and body relax and prepare for sleep with the delicious fatigue of constructive tiredness, I am completely at peace. I refill from the Great Source of all energy. My soul and my body are strengthened as I sleep. I let sleep refill and renew me. I rest. I sleep. And so it is.

Luuucy,,,you got some splainen to do.....

 Namaste, I hope this finds you well. :)

I am not a very linear thinking person, and it occurred to me today that perhaps I haven't given much background info on my spiritual journey and why I have come to end up here, on your computer ; in your private space.

Thanks by the way for making me feel welcome:)

I realize I touched on it a little bit in my intro, but it is fun to share; and you just never know how it might impact someone else's perception.

First off it is worth noting that I am somewhat of an efficiency freak. Not in an ocd way; but in a smart, mindful way. I value time, energy and resources, so if I can do something in two steps; I don't use four.

And so it has been with my journey of self development and spirituality. I use what I call, the Kinder Egg approach. I take a very large idea, and pare it down to a smaller, more manageable version; without compromising the integrity of the original plan.

It all started with my desire to seek. I wanted to learn how to hear " the still small voice within" ie. God, Spirit, Source, All that Is,  I AM presence, Prime Creator; give it whatever name you are comfortable with. It is the Christ consciousness which exists in all of us.

My background growing up was Lutheran, and it gave me a brilliant left brain background of the Bible. I was fairly "religious" up to my late twenties and then it tapered off for a bit. At that time it was more popular to address issues with personal / cognitive therapy, so I dealt with several ongoing challenges using those methods of healing.

It wasn't until I was living in Australia and became a Massage Practitioner, that I became more aware and involved with alternative healing modalities and therapies.

The big shift came after I gave birth to my oldest son. I had postpartum depression which subsequently lasted; in varying degrees of severity, for ten years. It was during that time that I started expanding my awareness towards Spirituality.

My Angel; and there is NO doubt in my mind that she was an angel, appeared to me in 1998. 

I was practicing massage from home and she was a first time client. After the treatment , she came down into the living room where I had been waiting for her; and we started chit chatting. It was a very organic and free flowing conversation, and before I knew it we were cozied up in chairs having a very philosophical discussion. She imparted a great deal of  wisdom, information, and knowledge which simultaneously made my jaw drop and my heart pound. She knew things about me. 

She made her way to leave, and was just about out the door when she added one last bit of information. She mentioned a little book that was popular at the time, and suggested that I might have a read of it. She said I might find the answers I was looking for in there.  GULP. 

That little book was, Conversations with God, by Neale Donald Walsh. 

I bought the book, and the follow ups; and like the man said.... the rest is history.

I found my answers, I found some more questions, and then I found that there was lots of work to do.

Thus began my journey to connect with the Divine aspect of myself.  It has been quite a ride, fraught with much upheaval and challenges, but I wouldn't trade any of it , or do any of it differently. 

The biggest shift for me came when I was introduced to Unity; not to be confused with Unitarian. Unity was founded by Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, and they are among the pioneers of the late 19th century; which teach practical Christianity. It takes bible teachings and interprets them metaphysically; allowing the student to learn the Truth behind the literal teachings. 

Unity was a springboard which launched me towards studying Ernest Holmes, Emilie Cady, Eric Butterworth, Emmett Fox and many others who teach about our subconscious connection to the Divine. 

This created a domino effect which has led me to study religions from the East and the West. 

Currently I am following an initiation path which requires a lot more discipline and involves divesting myself of ego, personal will and attachment to the "illusions" of the physical world.
I am very intuitive and an empath. I work with angels, the Ascended masters and wise teachers from multi-dimensional realms that assist humanity at large; as well as individuals, to Awaken. 

I am very steadfast and diligent about gaining the knowledge I need in order to fulfill my piece of the Cosmic Puzzle.

I read voraciously; I extract, assimilate, discern, meditate, pray and then do it all over again. If something resonates in my heart, I keep it ; if not I dispose of it. Along with that comes a great deal of discipline to heal, release and transmute the energy that blocks me from hearing the still small voice of God. This energy is quantifiable and real. It is in the form of old wounds, conditioning, old programming and erroneous thoughts. It literally forms a barrier around our bodies and prevents clear and accurate information from coming into our awareness. This is the energy; that if not acknowledged, healed, released and transmuted; manifests as sickness, dis- ease, and mis-alignment in our external world.

I think of it like radio reception. In order for me to get the best reception ( to Creator) I need to get rid of the static. The static is my "stuff". Getting rid of the stuff is what trips people up the most. But when you truck through that bit,,, I guarantee you,  you're Gold.

This blog is my way of serving. I love information. Gathering it , dissecting it, challenging it; and I have come to realize that I love imparting it. This wonderful tool allows me to enjoy a creative outlet and share some of myself with you. You have free will and free choice as to whether or not to read it , and I don't get rejected!!! It's win win :) :) 

There is no doubt that humanity is moving into an unprecedented shift of consciousness expansion. Old paradigms, structures and systems that served us well in the duality world of the last AGE (pisces) ; are quickly crumbling. We are moving into an age of Unified Consciousness and Divine Love.                                                     

We are moving into , THE AGE OF AQUARIUS

                                                                                                                              

It is an amazing time to be alive. And so it is

Oh, by the way, I never saw my Angel again. I called for a follow up appointment and the line was disconnected. 

Thank you for letting me share.

Blessings of Love and Light,

Katie

OCTOBER 3 2012                                          

Currents of Divine Love flow through me and from my soul in patterns of Love. and so it is

Golden Bridge to Other People

Morning Projection

Today I turn my attention to other people. They are important to me just as I am important to them. There is nowhere where they leave off and I begin. We are one with each other. People are wonderful. I love them. I live with them. I work with them. I talk with them. I help them and they help me. I rejoice in being part of the human race. We are one big happy family. We are brothers and sisters on earth because we have the same Father in Heaven.

Everyone I meet today is helped and inspired by his contact with me. I am a channel of love and blessing through which good flows out into the lives of other people. Today is a masterpiece of effective human relations. I respect and love all people. No one is ever alone. I revel in the fellowship of my fellow man today. And so it is.

  

                                               

                                   DAILY THOUGHTS ABOUT PEOPLE

• People are wonderful.
• Since we are in constant contact with people, the best way to get along with them is to be interested in them, love them, encourage them and bless them.
• If we love God, we love ourselves. If we love ourselves, we will love people.
• We have a greater understanding and love for people when we think of ourselves as brothers and sisters of them all.
• Since we have achieved the means for total destruction, we must learn to get along with others or there will be no one left to get along with.
• Separateness in our relations with others is evidence of separation within ourselves. 
• Friendship is the crowning achievement of personal relations

        It is not the situation which makes the man, but the man who makes the situation. The slave may be a free man. The monarch may be a slave. Situations are noble or ignoble, as we make them. 
F.W. Robertson                                                 


Evening Retrospection

I am thankful that people have filled my life today. I am grateful that I have been part of them and they of me. We have helped each other and have profited from our mutual contact. I forgive where forgiveness is necessary, and I know I am forgiven in return. I am at peace with myself and with all people. My heart is filled with love and compassion.
 
I have enjoyed this day. I have found it easy to get along with people. As I have given everyone the benefit of doubt today, no one has disappointed me. We have all been good for each other today.

 I am at peace with God and mankind because I am at peace with myself. As I embrace deep and healing sleep I provide the inner structures of love and understanding upon which the Creative Law builds magnificent mansions in my soul. And so it is.

step by step

DEVILS PUNCHBOWL HAMILTON ONTARIO        CAPTURED BY ELDEST SON   SEPTEMBER 2012

This is the view I had during my afternoon walk today. I was not in the same location as where this shot was taken, but the view was just as majestic and invigorating. There were obviously more autumn colors dappled through the

trees, and the air was pungent and ripe with the familiar scents of fall.

  My walk today was on a trail close to my home, which happens to be the same trail I used to walk three years ago when I lived in the same area. The house I lived in then is long gone to me and I have subsequently moved five times within a span of three years to finally settle in to where I am now. And man, let me tell you; I ain't going nowhere for a long time. What struck me today as I walked that familiar trail, was how far I had come in terms of personal growth; and yet here I was back in the same 'hood. I smile as I write this now, because that soft , fuzzy, feeling of all pervading safety, serenity and fulfillment is radiating through me.I feel so blessed to be where I am in my Life. There is never a moment when I say "why me". To me, the challenges and adversity I have endured; and they have been abrasively brutal at times, have been my greatest gift. I always considered it a compliment to be given the opportunity to overcome obstacles because in my mind, Spirit would not present me with the challenge if I wasn't ready to release it. I walk around my old neighborhood quite frequently now; even stopping by the old house to talk to the new owners. It is a neutral experience and there is no emotion or attachment to the notion that " I lost my home" all those years ago. It is my litmus test for knowing that all is healed, all is well and all is GOD.

  And so it is.

Thank you.

 

Golden Bridge 2

Good Morning and Namaste,

Thank you for joining me today. May you enjoy all the blessings of the day with peace, love, wisdom and understanding in your Heart. And so it is.


OCTOBER 2 2012

As I seek to express all that is beautiful and good, my life becomes one great and glorious expression.and so it is.

THE GOLDEN BRIDGE TO SELF
Morning Projection

As I move out into this day I express myself at my highest and best at all times and in every way. I put my best foot forward and keep it there. I am on the pathway toward self-discovery and self-unfolding. I know who I am and where I am going. I travel the Golden Bridge from self to SELF. I am constantly moving out of the lesser into the greater. I am evolving from the human into the divine. I am becoming my true self.

This day affords me countless opportunities for developing myself. I learn priceless lessons today. Each experience is a tremendous opportunity for growth and self-discovery. There is no limit to how far I can go today. There is no restriction on what I can accomplish on this day.

This is my day. I live it fully and abundantly. I dedicate this day and myself to the service of God and man. And so it is.

                                 DAILY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE SELF

• Our value depends upon what use we make of what we are.
• The first step in making the most of yourself is self-evaluation.
• We need to look within ourselves to find the key to personal dominion.
• God can work for us only by working through us.
• We are spiritual beings, using mind, living in a physical and material environment.
• The soul is what we are when we are all put together.
• Stop playing at life, and begin to live life in full expression of what you do best 

Evening Retrospection

In the quiet of the night I survey my day's activities. I find out how I handled myself today and how I could have done better. I look at myself clearly and incisively. I correct my faults. I repair the damage of my mistakes. In my mind I redo everything that was less than my best today. I revise the entire script if necessary. I play every scene of this day's activities over again until I get it right. I leave no stone unturned. I do a thorough job of making my peace with this day.

As I retrace my steps for this day, I savor each action of good. I enjoy this day all over again. I change everything that needs to be changed by co-ordinating my will and imagination. I do a thorough job on myself tonight. I am serious about wanting to grow. I am growing.

In sleep now, I release the cares of the day, and let the Infinite Healing Presence have its way with me. And so it is.

change.

I awoke to the howling screech
of the wind, passing through
a crack in the window.
It was a noise that shrilled an air of importance; as if to purposely awake me.
In retrospect I believe it was.

I couldn't help but feel that I should rise and venture to the window.
I glanced out and took in the familiar view outside.
Then I really examined what lay before me.

The ferocious wind shrieked again as if to taunt me;
had I not after all been a victim in it's game.
It's freezing fingers were anxious to stalk the earth
and congeal all that stood in it's way;
into a state of inertia.

As I stood and stared out the window,
I knew that everything outside appeared to be just as it was yesterday.
But it really wasn't.
And tomorrow something would be different again.

So I walked away from the window
with a feeling of complete acceptance and peace.
I had come to understand something so profoundly innocent and true.

I knew it would be engraved in my mind forever.

The only constant thing in this world;
is change.

Katie Motz 1983

October Sky / Golden Bridge 1

O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go,
O hushed October morning mild, 
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away.
Retard the sun with gentle mist;
Enchant the land with amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes' sake, it they were all,
Whose leaves already are burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must else be lost--
For the grapes sake along the wall.  

Robert Frost

Happy October everyone.

It is a glorious morning and a wonderful start to a new month.

October is the month that we typically reflect and express the nature of gratitude
more mindfully. The attitude of gratitude, as it has been dubbed. And it is an attitude. It requires an investment of heart, mind, body and soul to carry it off successfully.

It is an immutable law that what you give away will come back to you one hundred fold. The fastest way to receive something in your life is to give it away.
Whether it is Love, Time, material Abundance or Tolerance.

But your success relies on your INTENTION.

If you do anything for self serving purposes, it will be reflected in your external world very rapidly. It requires discipline and right action to formulate and develop an attitude of gratitude which yields abundance.

To that end, I felt it would be fun to devote the month of October to building a Golden Bridge that allows you to claim YOUR attitude of gratitude.

The Golden Bridge represents the upper path of spirit, mind and imagination. It is a device for bringing divine power into tangible expression in our everyday lives. It enables us to rise above the obstacles of the world and creates awareness, intention and purpose.

Each day will begin with an affirmation which can be reflected on for the day, as well as a Morning Projection and Evening Retrospection to strengthen the bridge. There will also be an aspect or quality to bring your awareness to.

This concept is taken from the book, Daily Power for Joyful Living ,
 by Dr. Donald Curtis. He is an outstanding leader and teacher of metaphysics and new thought teachings.

His request as stated in the book; is that the reader give away one copy per month to a friend, so that they may benefit and yield the harvest of the content.

This is my adaptation of giving you all a copy of the book.

Are you ready to build????

 OCTOBER 1, 2012

I CHANGE WHATEVER IS NECESSARY FOR ME TO CHANGE IN ORDER TO BE A BETTER PERSON.AND SO IT IS 

Golden Bridge to Life
 Morning Projection

My life lies stretched before me in smiling repose. This day I move one step forward toward my demonstration of complete and perfect good. I am guided and directed each step of the way throughout my long and beautiful life. I enjoy every moment of it. I am filled with the joy of constructive living. I thrill to the wonder and glory of Life. I live my life abundantly NOW.

As I go serenely and purposefully about the business of living, I act from the center of order and purpose within me. My thoughts, feelings, and aspirations are consistent with all that is true and fine. In working for my own good, I am also working for the general good. I construct my life on sound spiritual principles. I am right inside, therefore I can do no wrong. And so it is.


                                                     
Evening Retrospection

Quietly now I review today's activities with a calm and introspective eye. I look at myself objectively so that I may interpret my thoughts, feelings and actions intelligently and honestly. I cleanse myself of all unworthiness. I dissolve all negativity. I free myself from all bondage and limitation. I cut through all confusion and congestion. I get my Life in order.

As I review this day's activities, I give thanks for this opportunity to grow and learn. I now see things in their proper perspective. I clean house this evening. As I relax and reflect, I set my house in order so that I am not burdened by any unworthy or unfinished business. As I wind up today's business, I close the office of my mind, leaving everything in perfect order.

As I reflect upon the beauty of life and the glory of God, I quietly and peacefully drift off into deep and refreshing sleep. My mind is filled with pleasant dreams. My house is in perfect order now. And so it is.


Life is the childhood of our immortality -Goethe

                              DAILY THOUGHTS ABOUT LIFE  

• Live each moment as if it were both your first and last 
• Life is inevitable. Relax and enjoy it.
• The business of living is to attune ourselves to the free full flow of life which runs through everything.
• There is no thrill like the thrill of constructive living
• The will to live fills us with the energy of life.
• Life is a personal matter. It us up to each one of us to live fully.
• Your outer life is an expression of your inner life. 

 Namaste, Katie
