When Life Gives You Crap – Compost It!

The purpose of composting is to develop homemade vitamins for our soil and the process of having life experiences is to develop our spiritual consciousness that will enrich our souls as much as our soil of life.  Enriching our soul is simply allowing our soul to express itself through all the garbage.

 

In composting, we simply take “useless” waste and discards and transform them into something that is life enhancing. There is something redemptive and yes, even theological about this process. It has to do with acceptance, affirmation, transformation, and the involution and evolution of the endless cycle of Life. The fact that we can participate in this ancient art and have fun doing it is wonderfully satisfying to our spirit.

 

Spiritual composting is even more rewarding and life-enhancing.  For when we give our "crap" energy by focusing on it in a negative way, sharing it over and over with other people, we create a smell of victimhood and helplessness.  But when we deal with each experience of "crap" to the best of our human ability, then let it go through the use of our spiritual tools we find new life growing in the midst of our "crap".

 

Our "crap" is really our opportunity to "Create Real Abundant Prosperity" in our lives.  So whenever we see or feel an experience in our lives that makes us uncomfortable, let us look for the opportunity to affirm the good that will grow from this experience, transform ourselves from ego activity to the activities of our soul, and be aware of the evolution that we are always going through in the endless cycle of Life.

 

"This too shall pass" is good to remember as the "crap" surfaces in our lives.  Part of knowing that this too shall pass is also the knowing that there is always an opportunity to "Create Real Abundant Prosperity" present in every experience.

 

Connect the dots of all your experiences, the crap and the cream, and you will find a pattern that is extraordinarily beautiful.  When we connect these dots consciously, we are vibrating with the energy of God that is always in the miracles found between the dots.  They are truly ordinary miracles found in the rich soil of our spiritual compost. 

Allow it to be so in your life, And So It Is!

 

Rev. Frank Kish

 

"When that which is God -- or that which is that which man wants to call "God" -- is being understood by man, man has to translate it into the format he understands. But this Energy -- this Source that man is giving the label of "God", cannot be quantified in anything that man understands. And as man attempts to do it, the distortions are enormous."

--- Abraham

 

The Prosperity of the Weather

Right now most all of us are experiencing some challenge/opportunity with the winter weather.  For some it is preventing them from going to work or to some appointments or events they wish to attend.  For others it is referred to as "cabin fever".  Whatever we are feeling as a result of the winter weather in this area, we still have a choice of how to view it and how to react to it.  Actually we can choose whether to react to it or to respond to it.  Reacting is more of a "knee jerk" experience without thinking - it is an egoic act.  Responding is when we use all of our tools, both physical and spiritual to stay in our power - it is an act of our heart and Soul with perhaps an assist from our bodies.

It really starts with whether we see the weather, the economy, a relationship, our financial affairs, etc. as a challenge or as an opportunity.  Viewing experiences as a challenge can lead us to relinguishing our power and blind us to the gift within the experience, and there is always a gift!  When we react or get bogged down in viewing something as a challenge, our vibration is lowered and thus our power is weakened.  When we respond from a place of power, our vibration stays or gets higher and we have a greater ability to see the gift in the situation or experience.  We see it as an opportunity to express our power.

Certainly I personally have experienced the effect of the weather recently in my life.  Inconvenience, cabin fever, inability to interact with my spiritual family in person, and more.  I have also found many gifts in the winter storms as well - more precious time with my wife, Margaret, time to relax at home and be grateful for all that surrounds me, time to clean and reorganize our home to make it more comfortable and more efficient, time to catch up with family, friends, reading, writing, treating, meditating and just being rather than always doing.  We live at about 3600 ft. elevation and it is a given that sometimes we will not be able to get down.  I have come to always see these times as opportunities to be/do those things that I never have time for with my busy life of being a minister and a painter.

Do I not get frustrated with the weather?  Of course I do, but it is the difference between pain and suffering for me.  Pain is a given from time to time, but suffering is always optional.  We suffer when we see experiences as challenges which steal our power rather than seeing the same experiences as opportunities to see the gift of being creative in expressing our power with a higher vibration.

When we choose to see the weather as an opportunity rather than a challenge, the focus of our attention is on maintaining or raising our vibration.  When we let the weather become our "hip pocket" drama or our story that is told to everyone we interact with, we are giving up our power and lowering our vibration.

If we believe that all is in Divine right order, then we must stay within our power by choosing to see the gift in each experience, and follow the guidance of Spirit as we listen to our heart and Soul.

In Oneness and Love,

The Prosperity of Contemplating Our Own Divinity

 

"True Divinity is ever present before, during and after mortal, physical expression."  --Dr. John DeMartini

 

The above quote from Dr. DeMartini helps to answer a question I have had lately.  What was it about Jesus that has kept him alive in the minds and hearts of humanity for over 2000 years?  Clearly it was his true Divinity.  But I wonder often whether Jesus really wanted people to put off applying his teaching that they too are truly Divine in favor of worshiping him.  Did we miss what he was saying and get wrapped up in worshiping Jesus the man and forget to apply the Christ principle he was teaching?  Do you think that Jesus went around promoting himself as Divine and encouraging people to put him, in their minds, as their savior? or Do you think it is possible he was trying to show us that when we contemplate our own Divinity by cultivating a personal relationship with God we might find a prosperity of life we could not imagine with our human minds.

"True Divinity provokes awe and further spiritual curiosity in those who have awakened to this magnificent Universal design.  True Divinity ever evolves human consciousness to a subtle state of radiance and grace."    It is our responsibility to set ourselves free from the limits imposed on our own Divinity by our human thinking.  When we get so wrapped up in worshiping the teacher of any teaching and forget to apply the principles imparted in our lives, we have lost the opportunity to grow and expand our consciousness and ourselves from the application of the principles.

Jesus spent years comtemplating his personal Divinity and applying what he learned in his life and sharing it with others.  He had truly awakened to the magnificent Universal design and through the contemplation of his Divinity evolved his human consciousness to that subtle state of radiance and grace.  This true Divinity has been understood through the hearts and minds of the masters.  Many if not all these masters have probed the cosmological mysteries and come to understand the intricate order, elegance and beauty inherent throughtout nature.

Perhaps it is time for us to set aside our worshiping of even our greatest teachers and just accept their principles into our hearts and minds, and begin to apply them to our lives so that we may express our Divinity as our mission to grow and expand God and the Universe. 

In 2010, I encourage each of us to set our intention to focus our energy on assisting our Oneness to cultivate and express our individual and collective Divinity.  Through our Divinity - prosperity on all levels must flow.

 

Namaste' (The Divinity in me honors the Divinity in You),

The Prosperity of Our Spiritual Health

Spiritual health has nothing to do with religion.  It is about our connection to the understanding that we are spiritual beings having human experiences.  Location or dogmatic beliefs have nothing to do with it.  We are, in any present moment, spiritually connected to the Universal energy of Wholeness and Oneness.  This is exactly what Jesus knew better than anyone we have a record of.  The key is in being aware of it.

This Universal energy is called by many names:  Higher Power, God, Spirit, Jesus or Lord, Allah, Krishna, Buddha, Yahweh or Quan Yin to name a few.  It does not matter what name we call It, It is all the same Wholeness and Oneness.  What matters most is how committed we are to realizing our connection to that energy.  We must know that we know that it is not about connecting to that Energy for we are always connected to It - it is about being consciously aware of that connection in every present moment.

Maintaining this awareness is much easier through the form/s of spiritual practice that we are comfortable with, not some interpretation of a belief system that has been diluted over thousands of years.  Our best path to spiritual health is through Heaven which is always within each one us where that Universal energy awaits us.  We simply have to attune ourselves through our hearts to our Soul which will then guide and support us in our human experience.  Moving into the fulfillment of our mission as cells in the Body of God means aligning ourselves with our eternal spiritual nature.  We do this by consciously tending to our vibrational frequencies that we all emit.  We tend to these vibrations by being aware and controlling our thoughts and feelings.

So, today and every day let us individually and collectively explore our spiritual nature and relax into the Divinity that we are.  AND SO IT IS!!

Prosperity Without Joy is Hollow

Joy isn't a word we hear enough nor is it something we feel as often as I believe we're intended to. Joy is more than satisfaction or pleasure which are often dictated by circumstances out of our control. Joy is a conscious, daily choice to see the good in ourselves and the world around us meaning that we and we alone are ultimately responsible for whether or not we have joy now.

While joy is a choice, there are specific and practical things we can each do to increase the joy factor in our lives.

                               Joy factor formula:       

                      P (2) + B + S (2)         =   Joy                           

 Gratitude                

Purpose(1): Clearly defined, passionate purpose is the fire that keeps our will to do and achieve burning. Knowing our purpose serves as a compass to help us determine what we should spend our time on in a world where everything and everyone is vying for our attention. Purpose will also help dissipate darkness and discouragement and keep us moving forward toward our desired goal. Setting our daily intentions around our purpose is vital.

x Positive Thought(2). Our thoughts are what determine our perceptions of ourselves, the people we associate with, and our environment. Our perceptions then become our reality - true or false - good or bad. Ernest Holmes said, "...our thoughts will take us where we wish to be." Therefore, we must watch our thoughts, for they are key to our success or the reason for our failure.

+ Balance: This is a critical piece to having joy. Without it, our days are mundane at best and dreaded in the worst case. To increase balance, we start with a healthy definition of what balance ought to look like in our life and our current situation. Next, we prioritize and plan and make boundaries around our values. Learn to say no to some things so we can say yes to the most important things. Then, make self investing a priority. The reality is, unless we're consciously and consistently filling our metaphorical cash box, when people come to withdraw from us - there won't be anything there for us to give. Finally, ADJUST! Balance isn't a static state. It's all about adapting and shifting our weight according to our situation in life. The name of the game is to adjust when we feel we are losing our balance.

+ Strive for personal excellence(1). Stagnate personal growth will stifle joy faster than a two year old can mess up the living room. On the other hand, continually striving for personal excellence physically, mentally, socially, professionally, and spiritually produces an inexhaustible source of joy.

+ Service(2) is to life what yeast is to bread - that's what really makes us rise! When we forget about our own troubles and help someone else, we are more easily able to find the good in life. When all else fails, serve!  Serving leads to BLISS - Being Love In Sacred Service.

The common denominator in this equation is Gratitude.  Feeling gratitude for all the gifts in our life is part of remembering who we are and gratitude stimulates a higher vibratory energy that drives this equation for our lives.

We exist, that we might have joy - from my own experience, I know that to be absolute Truth.  As we work to integrate this joy formula, our days will be brighter and we will have the success that we're seeking personally, professionally and spiritually.

      -- Namaste, Rev. Frank

               

The Part of God That Says, "Just Bless It."

 

Today I am honoring Barbara Elswick for her gentle spirit, her incredible strength of character, and her powerful articulation of the obvious in spiritual terms.  I have known Barbara for 9 years, but it seems like she has always been part of my life which is more likely true on many levels.  Words cannot articulate the awe I feel in her presence.  She has the innocence of a sweet child and the wisdom of a mystic.  She is pure love as she offers herself to be experienced and approaches life with unbridled enthusiasm.  Barbara is a stellar practitioner at the CTC and loves witnessing how Spirit works through all the aspects of a client's life to bring about the right answer to a treatment.

It has been my honor to have Barbara in my life and I treasure the times I have had the opportunity to be of service to her as her friend, her co-practitioner, and her minister.  Barbara exemplifies the part of our teaching in Science of Mind that says to be open and receptive to every experience for the good that is inherently the gift for us to find. 

For the last week or so Barbara has been experiencing what many of us would consider a major life challenge, but she is handling it with the skill of a Master and we are all blessed to be students in her classroom of life.  I encourage everyone who knows her to hold her in the highest vibration of your consciousness as she shows us all how to deal with this current experience of life as she truly "Just Blesses It!"  Thank you Barbara for all you are and all you give.

Love and hugs, Frank

Has Summer Been Rescheduled?

As fall seems to have settled into our mountains here in WNC, one has to wonder what happened to summer.  We have experienced the rains of spring and the temperatures of early fall for several months now.  It has been one of the most beautiful summers I can remember with an explosion of color including the myriad of green lush vegetation and the brilliant explosion of flowering plantlife.  Nature knows nothing of recession because it does not focus its attention on the news or the weather for that matter as we rarely can count on the weatherman’s predictions. 

Perhaps there is a lesson for us all to remember about where we focus our attention.  Abraham tells us that wherever we focus our attention we create a vibrational vortex that attracts what we focus on.  We live in an environment of contrast in this world of time and space, so we are moment  to moment, being given the opportunity to see something that does not feel good so we can give birth to a desire that, should it manifest, we will feel good about.  Feeling good about our experiences is why we are here because life is meant to feel good, to be joyful.  But in order to feel good we have to have a frame of reference which is provided by our environment  of contrast.  Interesting how many people, I suspect the majority, on this planet focus their attention on the part of contrast that does not feel good and then wonder why they do not feel good or achieve their desires more often.

Joseph Campbell gave us perhaps the most important clue to a joyful life when he said, “Follow your bliss!”  In essence, he was saying focus your attention on your desires and you will achieve a vibrational match with those desires.  The only reason any of us do not see a desire manifest in our lives is that there has to be a vibrational match between us and our desire.  Let me say that our desire must also be for the highest and best good of all concerned.  So it is our mission to raise our vibrational frequency to the level of our desire and when that happens a vortex of manifestation is created and WALLA! – OUR DESIRE MANIFESTS.  Unfortunately, most people focus their attention on the part of contrast that feels not so good by telling their drama over and over again until they create a vibrational vortex of energy that attracts more of the same object of their attention.  This is where our real power in life is!  Quantum physics has proven to our logical minds as well as many people’s intuitive minds that our whole existence is one of vibrational energy and in order to feel good, to have a joyful life, we must raise our vibrational energy to a level that matches whatever level that brings us joy.

There is no area of our lives that this concept does not apply.  Whether it is our Wealth, our Health, our Creative Expression, or our Relationships – we have the power to transform our lives from one of victimhood to one of pure joy.  In our classes at The Creative Thought Center and in our Sunday messages, our staff of practitioners and myself, the minister share a wide range of both physical and spiritual tools that help us all raise our vibrational frequency to the level of our desires.  Enlightenment is a constant journey, not a destination, so enjoy the journey and be joyful.  Set your intention daily to focus your attention on the desire that is born out of the contrast in your life and then apply you spiritual and physical tools to raise your vibration to a place of matching your desire.  Try it, it really works! 

We are proving this concept as very real at the Center with our 3 year New Spiritual Home Campaign which we invite you to join with your pledge.  Only about 30 days ago we had $24,000 in our pledge fund and today we are closing in on $60,000.  Everyone involved in the pledge program can feel the vibrational energy and it is or will be making a difference in their personal lives as well.  If you have not already made your pledge, consider becoming part of the vibrational energy vortex we are all creating at the level you are guided to by spiritual reflection.  Even $1 per week will make a difference in our vortex of energy and in your vibrational energy level as well.  Pledge forms are available at the Center and by email shortly.  Our goal is to have as close to $100,000 in pledges by the end of September since our pledges serve as collateral for our financing arrangements.  Thank you all so much for your love and support.

In Oneness and Love,

Clarifying Our Vision for the Prosperity of Oneness

Something very profound took place yesterday at The Creative Thought Center.  And although Faerie Elaine Silver gave a very powerful performance and her message was inspiring, that is not the "something" of which I speak.  The something of which I speak was the energy so thick you could cut a slice of it with a knife and yet so light that it permeated the very essence of who each person there was.  There was a flow of love, joy and peace that left us all awestruck.  Laughter and fellowship swelled to new heights.  The air was alive with the sounds of children having fun and just being who they are, Divine spiritual beings.  The Sharing from the Heart by Barbara Brennan touched us all very deeply.  More people shared in the Circle of Love than ever before and our community meal was exquisite. 

Perhaps the most profound thing for me was the clarity of vision I received while observing my spiritual family in an experience of Oneness.  That clarity was that the time has come for the next step.  We are marking our 10 year anniversary as The Creative Thought Center in November this year.  We have grown to our capacity of space here at 741 S. Haywood St. in Waynesville.  Our Board of Trustees has been visioning with intention for our right and perfect new spiritual home that will give us the space to allow our spiritual family to continue to grow and nurture every person wishing to partake of the spiritual food we offer as the metaphysical heart of Haywood County.  It is now time to share our vision with the community at large.  Because we recognize that our community is much larger than just our number of committed members and because we so appreciate the support and love we receive from so many in the community of Haywood County and beyond that also see the tremendous value of the Center for this community at large.  The thoughts, energy of love, and a great deal of financial support come from beyond the ranks of our official membership ranks and I and the Board of Trustees want every one of you to know how much we appreciate you and think of you as part of our family.

We want to share our vision with you knowing our vision will be expanded by your input and our community as a whole will grow in spiritual consciousness and service to all who are seeking the Truth about who they are and the power they have as spiritual beings.  Please accept this sharing from my heart as an invitation to attend one of four presentations in July at The Creative Thought Center to hear more about and help expand our vision for the future of our spiritual community.  These presentations and open discussions will take place every Thursday night in July at 6:30pm at the Center.  Plan to attend at least one of these events to hear about our vision for a newer larger spiritual home for our community.  Your energy and consciousness is welcomed with open arms as we build together on our Oneness in this community.  If you are interested in a daytime presentation, please let us know at the Center by calling 456-9697 or emailing us at waynesvillectc@aol.com.

The Prosperity of Our Intuition

To Intuit or Not To Intuit?

Intuition: "The ability to sense or know immediately without reasoning"

 

We get multiple intuitive messages daily whether we are aware it or not.

 

When receiving intuitive messages from our intuition, our life is impacted by four responses:

1. Ignore. Our intuition nudges and taps us, but we choose to ignore the intuitive messages, due to logic, busyness, or fear.

2. Doubt. Our intuition advises or warns us, but we doubt the intuitive messages are true or likely to happen.

3. Test. We test our intuition to validate the accuracy of the intuitive messages received.

4. Trust. We trust our intuition, without hesitation.

Intuition responses can be experienced in any order. On some days, we might trust or ignore our intuition. On other days, we doubt or test it. Notice how our life is impacted, in positive and negative ways, by our responses.

The more we trust our intuition, the more we live an empowered life, in the intuitive flow.

 

Developing Intuition In Three Steps

1. Recognize it and encourage it.

2. Study it to make it more trustworthy.

3. Give it good information to work with.

 

 

Recognize Your Intuition:

 

When we bought our car 5 years ago, I saw them all over. Maybe you've had a similar experience. Looking for and recognizing a thing trains your mind to find more of it. The same process happens when we watch for our intuition - we'll start to see more of it.

 

I encourage you to recognize times when you wished you would have listened to your intuitive messages. 

 

Recognition comes more frequently when we quiet our minds of the constant chatter through our spiritual practices of meditation, treatment/affirmative prayer, study, service, and gracious giving.  In meditation many people are able to rise above or ascend to a place much higher than the mundane thoughts of our conscious mind.  This higher place is accessible using any one of these practices, but a balance of all five provides the most powerful results.

 

 

Study Your Intuition:

 

Start questioning your hunches. Get in the habit of paying attention to and studying your intuitive feelings.

 

Where does your intuition work best? If you're always right about your intuitive stock picks, give a little credence to them. On the other hand, if your hunches about people are usually wrong, don't follow them.

 

Just pay attention more, and you'll be developing intuition about your intuition.

 

 

Give Your Intuition Good Information

Your skill, knowledge and experience determine the potential effectiveness of your intuition.  Learn enough about a subject, before expecting good hunches about it - or before trusting the hunches.

 

Work in the area you want more intuition in. When enough information is in your mind, it will go to work for you with or without your conscious participation, so feed it well.

When we Recognize our intuition we"ll have hunches and ideas more often. Study it and we'll learn when to trust it. Give it good information and we'll be repaid with good hunches and ideas. This is the simple formula for developing intuition.

 

Then:

 

Decide

Decision is very powerful and sets into motion a wide range of energy. Absolutely everything in our life results from decision. Think about it—we make a myriad of decisions every day, and everything in our life is the result of making a decision. When we decide to “listen” to our inner voice, we will hear this voice every single day. Decide, and it is done unto you.

Deciding to really listen will increase our awareness of the times when we are following or ignoring our soul’s guidance. Think about “gut decisions.” The “gut” speaks from our soul. The mind gets caught up in stinky garbage. The “gut” knows before our mind can work it out. The gut does not reason, it simply knows, and herein lies the magic of it. Deciding to listen is the first step. Today, we can make it a habit to be conscious of our decisions.

Journal

Journaling is amazing. You get the opportunity to record the synchronicity, serendipity, and wonder of life. Journaling allows you to remember the greatest things that happen in your day. The more you acknowledge and appreciate the synchronicities, the more they happen. Every time you think something is a coincidence, think again. Write it down; read it over. You will be astounded at what is happening in your life. The answers are everywhere. The proof is "write" in front of you. Write it down, and you will see it! You are receiving messages—journaling is like putting them in a decoder to reveal the meaning. It’s really easy! There are no hard and fast rules. You can type, you can write, or you can use a tape recorder and talk. This way, you can capture what you are saying (or thinking) to yourself and with it the voice of your intuition.

Laugh

Laughter will tap into our inner guidance faster than any other technique. Laughter performs miracles every day. Physically, psychologically, and emotionally, laughter is fun. Laughter releases mighty endorphins in our bodies, which feel great. Laughter changes our body chemistry in a wonderful way. When we feel great, we are not resisting the flow of life. When we feel great, we are literally in the flow. When we are in the flow, everything goes smoothly, and we are on top of the world. Why? Because we become open and receptive to receiving our guidance. We listen and act with confidence, without second-guessing ourself. Life really isn’t so serious. Look around you and see what could possibly be funny. Choose to laugh today!

Decide to laugh every day, and remember to journal your experiences.

Remember, we can either choose to allow the experiences of life to happen to us or we can choose to create our own experiences by following our intuitive messages from our Soul.

So get INTUIT and have fun!

Namaste,

Rev. Frank Kish
