Full of change and decision.

<p><strong><em style="color: #800080;">Revelations, clarity and ACTION. </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em style="color: #800080;"></em><em style="color: #800080;">Full of change and decision.   </em></strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Which brings me to the subject of this post&#8230;</em></span></p>
<p>Although it&#8217;s been a bit quiet here,  I&#8217;ve been actively addressing a mission that has patiently waited for attention while I schooled myself in Internet marketing, blogging and outsourcing the past few years.</p>
<p>Bringing a message to my readers through the development of my spiritual blog  is a mission I share with my business partner and closest friend  Suzen Fontana, a story in itself&#8230;and one you can read about soon on:</p>
<p><a href="http://liberatingdivineconsciousness.com/" target="_blank">LiberatingDivineConsciousness.com</a></p>
<p>More recently the story begins with Stephanie Mulac&#8217;s <a href="http://selfimprovementgifts6.com/go/13665" target="_blank">Self  Help Giveaway</a>. I had not prepared anything for it but one day<em> after</em> it opened to members, <em>I suddenly felt a very strong urge</em> to become a contributing member.</p>
<p>Following the prompts of my heart, I was led on a mission to turn my first Public Domain work into my own publication.</p>
<p>The inspiration was loud, clear and definite.<a href="http://kathydobson.com/doorgift/thedoorofeverything.htm" target="_blank"> &#8220;The Door of Everything&#8221;</a> by Ruby Nelson. Reformat into ebook form and place in the Giveaway.</p>
<p>If you follow the leads on Amazon you will see that there are a total of 23 reviews&#8230;all with 5 stars for this little book. It&#8217;s that powerful and will connect you with Source.</p>
<p>However, was this book in the Public Domain? That was the million dollar question&#8230;and,</p>
<p>alot to ask of someone who:</p>
<ul>
<li>never searched in the Public Domain field before</li>
<li>has an extreme limited time schedule&#8230;it needed to be finished yesterday</li>
<li>never reformatted a Public Domain works before</li>
<li>had to create all the pages for Giveaway too!</li>
</ul>
<p>Thus began my first earnest search for Public Domain works&#8230;</p>
<p>all the records I could find online&#8230;I even called the Public domain office in Washington D.C. to talk extensively with someone to see if I could get further clues&#8230;or a direct answer. No luck&#8230;unless you pay them $350 for their own search.</p>
<p>I checked to see if it was listed on <a href="http://ww16.projectgutenberg.org/" target="_blank">Project Gutenberg.org</a>&#8230;a site dedicated to listing free Public domain works. Red flags. It was not. Fear was taking hold&#8230;lol</p>
<p>I even found a post about this title that mentioned something about copyright infringement. Yikes!</p>
<p>That really made me nervous! More Fear!!</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-4316" style="margin: 10px;" title="The Door of Everything" src="http://kathydobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/flatecover.jpg" alt="" width="142" height="179" />However, I moved forward reformatting the book&#8230;creating my version with my cover <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  The urge was that strong.</p>
<p>My logic was telling me that it was public domain because the version I had read 30 plus years ago was originally published by DeVorss and Co., copyright 1963 and my search uncovered  two new publishers on Amazon&#8230;both registered in 2010.</p>
<p>There was a clue.</p>
<p>But I wanted confirmation. The last thing I needed was to start 2012 with a copyright lawsuit! Fear again! lol</p>
<p>Because of time constraints, I decided to go <em>directly to source</em> and wrote to both publishers. I honestly did not think I would hear back as they were not obligated to give me that info. They could have looked at me as competition&#8230;which is actually the old paradigm of thought&#8230;</p>
<p>but rather, living the laws of the new vibration&#8230;they <em>cooperated</em> and wrote me back!</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><em>The book was in the Public Domain!</em></span></p>
<p>These actions by these publishers is a prime example of the new energies permeating the Cosmos, (a blog post for liberatingdivineconsciousness.com <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  ) <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4317" style="margin: 10px;" title="happy_face_stickman_jumping_400_clr" src="http://kathydobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/happy_face_stickman_jumping_400_clr.png" alt="" width="203" height="324" /></p>
<p>The new energies/paradigm is one of cooperation and collaboration.</p>
<p>I am eternally grateful to both of these publishers whom I would like to acknowledge here:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.wilderpublications.com/" target="_blank">Wilder Publications</a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.successmanual.com/successmanual-downloads/" target="_blank">Princeton Cambridge Publishing</a></p>
<p>With confirmation and peace of mind that I needed, I was off and running reformatting my first Public Domain publication.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t change any text in the book as the content is meant to go to readers in tact. My only mission was to get it into the hands of those who were ready for this information.</p>
<p>Divine resonance takes care of the rest <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>My job was to reformat  it for ebook eyes. (my previous education in creating ebooks had prepared me for this!)</p>
<p>In other words&#8230;I took paragraphs that would normally have appeared and broke them up into smaller sections.</p>
<p>Eyes that read on the Internet can get very tired and new formatting with more white space was needed. This allows the eyes to rest.</p>
<p>I gave it a more modern font and made it bigger as well as just giving it an overall 21st Century feel. I finished with a greeting from Suzen and I leading back to our soon to be developed blog &#8220;liberatingdivineconsciousness.com&#8221;</p>
<p>I also made my own ebook cover&#8230;which I did in record time&#8230;out of need. (My first one mind you!)</p>
<p>I am half way through refomatting another PD works and just the other day was led to a book I was quite surprised was in the PD&#8230;and that one will be forthcoming soon.</p>
<p>Our new Internet Digital Publishing Company called &#8220;Light On Publishers&#8221; was born from this energy&#8230;we will reformat inspired books from the Public domain&#8230;offering them as Kindle versions and other places on the web&#8230;some free, some paid. Any that are offered for a price will have more valuable content added  in the way of our personal commentary.</p>
<p>Lots to learn and execute in the next few months!</p>
<p>It seems I am finally coming into alignment with my purpose and prep work of the last few years.</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800080;">Revelations, clarity and ACTION.</span></h3>
<p>A<em>lthough not motivated by this blog</em>&#8230;my search into PD works gave me essential, valuable information that I can share with readers of this blog. <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><em>Stay tuned to learn more about this often over looked Goldmine of PLR&#8230;the Public Domain.</em></span></p>
<p>If you have experience with Public Domain works, please share&#8230;we would love to hear about what you learned.</p>
<p>If not, just leave a comment to let me know you were here&#8230; <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>enJOY!</p>

</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">I know it&#8217;s been too long since I last posted (January 11th to be exact) but it&#8217;s not because I have been playing and not paying attention.</p>
<p>Nothing could be further from the truth&#8230;     <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2889" title="ready_for_success2" src="http://kathydobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/ready_for_success21.jpg" alt="" width="214" height="219" /></p>
<p>I have been working harder than ever on a project that I was recently invited into.</p>
<p>This project requires video tutorials and that&#8217;s what I have been very, very busy doing.</p>
<p>Every morning and every night&#8230;most times way, way past my bedtime.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve never written a script&#8230;let me tell you the whole experience is quite different than writing an ebook. And, that&#8217;s where I had to start&#8230;</p>
<p>writing the scripts for the videos that I am producing&#8230;on the subject of Outsourcing of course <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">When opportunity knocks&#8230;you have to answer and this is opportunity knocking loud and clear</span> and although the time frame was very tight for me&#8230;I wasn&#8217;t about to pass up this exciting venture.</p>
<p>Which brings me to the message of this post&#8230;.<span id="more-2852"></span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #800080;">Are you ready for success?</span></h2>
<p>Seems like a simple enough question with a simple enough answer&#8230;BUT I ask again&#8230;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #800080;">Are you ready for success?</span></h2>
<p>You just never know when success is going to come knocking at your door&#8230;will you be ready when your doorbell rings?</p>
<p>This is the valuable lesson I learned the last couple of weeks.</p>
<p>Success has come knocking on my door&#8230;</p>
<p>I never saw this coming&#8230;nor did I go looking for it.</p>
<p>No one was more surprised than I was when I opened the email to find opportunity knocking loud and clear.</p>
<p>It came in a way I never thought possible.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2870" style="margin: 10px;" title="shooting star" src="http://kathydobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/shootingstar2-114x150.jpg" alt="" width="114" height="150" />It was like a shooting star that suddenly appeared in the heavens&#8230;</p>
<p>Was I ready? For success yes&#8230;</p>
<p>Would I have liked to have a few other things in place that I have talked about for months now? Yes.</p>
<p>So, I want to tell you right now&#8230;you never know when success will come knocking&#8230;</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Get prepared. Quit procrastinating&#8230;</span></strong><br />
Been putting off writing that ebook or e-course that you know you would be great at teaching?</p>
<p>How about all of you who are determined to learn video but you have procrastinated and it is still a vision in your head?</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t wait&#8230;success could come knocking at any time&#8230;</p>
<div>
<div>
<div><span style="font-family: Segoe Print; color: #0000ff; font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">WILL YOU BE  READY?</span></strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Segoe Print; color: #0000ff; font-size: x-large;"><strong> </strong></span><br />
We all put our visions and dreams out there when we take those action steps.</div>
</div>
</div>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">It is the <em>~~~~action steps~~~~</em> that fill the image with <em>energy</em> needed to create in the physical realm. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">(Remember, the word act&#8230;is hidden within the word attrACT&#8230;.we must act in order to attract <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
</span></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The Universe will answer. But, this answer may not come the way you  think it will.</p>
<p>The Universe loves surprises&#8230;</p>
<p>It truly is the most exciting thing that has happened to me online.</p>
<p>I am proof positive that if you put enough faith and belief into your dreams and passions and</p>
<p>and you take ~~~~action~~~on those dreams and passions&#8230;</p>
<p>they will manifest in this realm.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Remember&#8230;in order to attr<em>act</em> we must <em>act</em> <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </span></p>
<p>Take a hard look at yourself and your online presence.</p>
<p>Are you doing everything you should be so when success comes knocking&#8230;</p>
<p>you never have to say&#8230;&#8221;why didn&#8217;t I?&#8221;</p>

<p>Thanks to everyone who has helped me pull this off with short notice&#8230;</p>
<p>I couldn&#8217;t do it without the guidance and help of my friends&#8230;so thank you <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<div style="text-align: left;">Kathy *</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">p.s.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p>I am going to add a bit of a post script here on my thoughts on this 100 Comment challenge now that I have been into it for 3 weeks.</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">First thing I&#8217;d like to add is:</span></strong> I had no idea how much time and energy it took to gather 100 comments and to reciprocate those 100 comments on their blogs. Wow, this has kept me very busy this month!</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p>I have gained a lot of knowledge navigating to these different blogs and reading what they offered. There have been so many niches covered that there certainly has been something for everyone!</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p>Met some new friends and bloggers that I will be following because of their awesome content and the value they can add to my own business.</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p>I do believe this has effected my getting comments on my other blog posts such as<a href="http://kathydobson.com/outsourcing-to-the-philippines-your-questions-answered/" target="_blank"> <strong>&#8220;Outsourcing to the Philippines&#8230;.Your Questions Answered.&#8221;</strong></a><strong> </strong>This is the second addition by Honey Amabelle&#8230;the outsourced worker/Admin from <a href="hhttp://easyoutsource.com/" target="_blank">EasyOutsource</a> who agreed to come aboard and answer any questions or concerns you may have  about outsourcing to the Philippines.</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">There were so many questions that came through the first time that Honey posted for me <a href="http://kathydobson.com/a-filipino-freelancers-thoughts-on-outsourcing/" target="_blank">&#8220;A Filipino&#8217;s Freelancers Thoughts on Outsourcing&#8221;&#8230;</a></span></strong> she came back and posted the second addition&#8230;.answering all the questions asked in the comments from the first post she placed.  She has agreed to come back as often as I need her to answer any questions or concerns you may have with your outsourcing projects.</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">Since this was such an important series of posts from Honey</span></strong>&#8230;in retrospect, I should have made it my entrance into this challenge. Honey not only answers your questions about outsourcing&#8230;but she does it from an outsourced workers point of view&#8230;giving us  valuable information allowing us to &#8220;see&#8221; the point of view of the &#8220;other side&#8221; of the outsourcing equation.</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p>If you are into outsourcing to the Philippines&#8230;or you are thinking of pursuing this (if you are working online you should be!) I believe you will gain a lot from reading Honey&#8217;s posts. The more we learn and understand about how our outsourced worker feels&#8230;the better we can work to make them happy and understand their needs. In the end&#8230;it all contributes to our success.</p>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<p><strong><span style="color: #800080;">All in all this challenge has been a wonderful experience.</span></strong>..even if it has been extremely time consuming! It has been worth it!</p>

<p>Taking a bit of a break this morning from serious talk to something more inspirational.  We all have moments when we just need something to inspire us to keep on keeping on&#8230;with whatever vision it is we are trying to achieve.</p>
<p>A few months ago my 25 year old daughter who lives with me sent me a link to this song by Miley Cyrus.  She has followed my progress with this course from the beginning&#8230;through the trials and errors&#8230;through the triumphs and struggles&#8230;through the laughter and tears.  I continue to be amazed at the wisdom of the young.  It made me cry when I first played it because it reminded me that not only do I need to keep my vision alive and pushing towards it&#8230;but, to live in the precious moment&#8230;and as one of our most esteemed, wise classmates <a href="http://mandyallen.com/" target="_blank">Mandy Allen</a> (<a href="http://mandyallen.com/" target="_blank">mandyallen.com</a>) always says &#8220;enjoy the journey.&#8221;  If we are not enjoying the ride&#8230;then we&#8217;re missing out on the most important element of all&#8230;the JOY life brings in every moment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So, from my daughter to me&#8230;to you:</p>

This morning I want to talk a little about how to create  &#8216;soul&#8217; within your membership site.
But first we must understand one very basic principle in life&#8230;that principle is balance.  Everything in life needs balance.  The old adage &#8220;you can&#8217;t have one without the other&#8221; sums it up quite well.  You can&#8217;t have black without [...]]]></description>

<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-811" title="scale" src="http://kathydobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/scale-150x112.jpg" alt="scale" width="150" height="112" />This morning I want to talk a little about how to create  &#8216;soul&#8217; within your membership site.</p>
<p>But first we must understand one very basic principle in life&#8230;that principle is balance.  Everything in life needs balance.  The old adage &#8220;you can&#8217;t have one without the other&#8221; sums it up quite well.  You can&#8217;t have black without white, up without down, in without out&#8230;.one simply doesn&#8217;t exist without the other.  They are the two apposing forces that create life.  Without cold, hot simply has no meaning&#8230;.nothing to gauge it against.</p>
<p>To achieve success in life&#8230;no matter what endeavor we are trying to achieve,&#8230;we must apply this principle of balance.  We must copy the success of nature.<span id="more-808"></span>You yourself are a being of balance.  Even your brain has two physical sides to it.  One for the intellect and one for the <em>creative/emotional<img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-812" title="brain" src="http://kathydobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/brain-122x150.jpg" alt="brain" width="122" height="150" /> side</em>.  Intellect without emotion is simply flat&#8230;flat words, flat pictures etc&#8230;no depth.  Emotions without intellect is equally as dangerous as emotions can steal away our peace if we don&#8217;t have intellect to balance it off.</p>
<p>By creating great, unique, appealing content within your site, you address the mind of your subscriber&#8230;you address their intellect&#8230;which is a must if you want to retain your members.  But, although great content may be what initially drew them in, there is another equally important element to creating a successful membership site.  That element is heart.  Without this element, your site will soon become &#8216;cold&#8217; to your members and they will leave.</p>
<p>You as a human are a three fold being.  You are a balance of mind and heart&#8230;and, these together create your soul.  The <img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-814" title="zen" src="http://kathydobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/zen-150x149.jpg" alt="zen" width="150" height="149" />soul is simply the totality of all that you are.  Your intellect and emotions.  Remember, you can&#8217;t have one without the other.</p>
<p>Apply this principle to all your endeavors in life&#8230;including your membership site.  By educating your subscribers with your unique content, you are addressing their mind, by allowing your passion to show through, you have captured their heart.</p>
<p>These two elements have created balance within your site&#8230;the only path to success.</p>
<p>This is how you need to approach your membership site.  Why?  Because you are dealing with human nature, not robots.  A robot would only require the intellectual side of your site, but we as humans are consciously or subconsciously always looking for balance.  <em>You must tap into their minds and their hearts. </em></p>
<p>Giving your membership site &#8216;soul&#8217; is simple&#8230;.give them what they are seeking&#8230;consciously or unconsciously&#8230;give them balance.</p>
<p>Give them your mind and your heart.</p>
<p>Next we&#8217;re going to discuss a few modules within your site that are a must in creating this balance.</p>
<p>Till then&#8230;I am off to Tampa to see my grandkids.  They truly are the lights of my life.</p>
<p>For those of you in the Grand ol&#8217; USA&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-824" title="Fireworks - American Flag" src="http://kathydobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fireworks4-150x99.jpg" alt="Fireworks - American Flag" width="150" height="99" /><strong>&#8220;Happy Forth of July&#8221;&#8230;.and to everyone else included&#8230;celebrate your Freedoms!  Freedom is a God given right!</strong></p>
<p><strong>and, always give &#8216;thanks&#8217;&#8230;..</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">This is it!  Finally, after a few weeks of changes and trials to see what works and to find the perfect fit for  me&#8230;.last night after I got home from work I sat with my son&#8230;deliberating about the design of my new blog.  I had a vision&#8230;it just appeared&#8230;as visions often do&#8230;.so I immediately imparted the information to my son who created this.  It&#8217;s a perfect fit!  I love it.  The most amazing thing is, my last day on the job was yesterday&#8230;.(I had been laid off after 11 years)&#8230;so I experienced &#8216;the door closing&#8217;&#8230;only to wake up this morning to &#8216;the door opening.&#8217;  There it was&#8230;my new blog!  I knew it the minute I saw it.  I sit in awe at a Universe so wise and grand!  Couldn&#8217;t have timed things better myself!</p>
<p>To make things even better I woke to a beautiful, inspiring video that someone had so lovingly placed in their mail to me.  I just had to share my Joy with everyone&#8230;.and with that Joy I would like to share this enlightening, inspiring video.</p>
<p>This truly is the first day of my &#8216;new life&#8217;&#8230;</p>

<p><a href="http://www.inspired-personal-development.com/images/wonderful-world-inspirational-free-e-card.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-710" title="wonderful-world-inspirational-free-e-card" src="http://kathydobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/wonderful-world-inspirational-free-e-card-150x150.jpg" alt="wonderful-world-inspirational-free-e-card" width="150" height="150" /></a>How many of you are sitting on unrealized dreams?  How many great ideas and dreams of success have you had that  never materialized?  There is a Universal Law that applies to success&#8230;.the one single thing that will manifest our ideas and dreams, and without putting this law into effect, our ideas and dreams remain just that&#8230;&#8230;ideas and dreams.</p>
<p>This simple but necessary rule is the Law of Action.  We must first understand that we live in the physical world and <em>must play by the rules. </em>In this physical world of ours everything is vibration.  Take everything back to it&#8217;s humble beginnings, strip it of it&#8217;s physical properties, and you have vibration.  How did it become a physical reality?  Someone took action and created it.  That chair you are sitting in was an idea in someone&#8217;s mind and would have remained an idea&#8230;but, someone took action and manifested it in the physical world.</p>
<p>Everything physical is energy,  energy is vibration and vibration is movement.</p>
<p><span id="more-693"></span></p>
<p>So, there&#8217;s our biggest <em>clue </em>to manifesting ~~~~<em>movement</em>~~~~  Exactly how does this apply in our own lives?  When we have an idea or dream in order to bring it into manifestation&#8230;<strong><em>in order to bring it into the physical realm we must </em></strong><em><strong>~~~create movement~~~ </strong><strong>in the physical realm. </strong> </em> How do we do that?  By taking <em>ACTION. </em> Ideas are wonderful and so are dreams.  <strong><em>But, they live in a different realm.</em></strong> They do not live in the physical realm and this is the key to our understanding of the Law of ACTION.</p>
<p>Fear is the greatest enemy to overcome in manifesting our ideas and dreams.  Fear is a component of the ego.  When we fear we are giving power to our ego and allowing our ego to be master of our environment.  Your ego does not want you to realize that you are the master of your environment for when you do, ego knows it&#8217;s life is short lived and it now must become your servant.  Fear is the single thing that keeps us from taking the action step necessary to manifest.  Overcome your fears and<em> move</em> forward.  You have nothing to fear but fear itself.</p>
<p>Strip your ego of the crown you have given it&#8230;this crown belongs to you.</p>
<p>Additionally, you must be persistent.  Tell the Universe how serious you are by your <em>persistant actions. </em> Your goals and dreams manifest by taking consistent and persistent action steps.  Keep pushing forward until one day you wake up and your dream is in physical form.</p>
<p>How does this apply to membership sites?  Don&#8217;t just dream about your membership site&#8230;take your ideas and <em>run</em> with them.  Manifest them by taking action&#8230;. put them in ~~~ <em>motion.~~~</em></p>
<p>Whether your dream is a membership site or something totally different, the same rules apply.  Remember, you live in the physical world and in order to succeed at anything you  must play by the rules.</p>
<p>You have been given this gift&#8230;.this power to create.  It is the single reason you were created.  To be a creator.</p>
<p>The Universe gave you your imagination <em>and</em> your physical body.  <em>Join the two powers together,</em> and you have created a force&#8230;the force of creation.</p>
<p><strong>Honor the Universe for these grand gifts&#8230;.become the creator you were created to be in this grand physical plane!<br />
</strong></p>
<p><em>Most importantly, give thanks&#8230;for such amazing powers.</em></p>
<p>Joy&#8230;</p>

how many of you have ever entertained the thought of Immortality?  I am not referring to Immortality of the Spirit/Soul&#8230;.that&#8217;s a given.  Afterall, we know that we are pure energy&#8230;and, you can&#8217;t kill energy.  It simply changes form.

<p>Taking a break and writing about my first love today&#8230;..</p>
<p>I am wondering&#8230;</p>
<p>how many of you have ever entertained the thought of Immortality?  I am not referring to Immortality of the Spirit/Soul&#8230;.that&#8217;s a given.  Afterall, we know that we are pure energy&#8230;and, you can&#8217;t kill energy.  It simply changes form.</p>
<p>What I am referring to is Immortality of your present body.  Ok, so I can already hear &#8220;that&#8217;s impossible.&#8221;  Is it really?  Have you examined the possibility?  Have you allowed your mind to reach beyond it&#8217;s present set of instructions?</p>
<p>This life is all about consciousness.  What <strong><em>conscious</em></strong> level are you operating from?  Most people accept death as a given. We are raised by that <em><strong>conscious </strong></em>level from the time we are born.  So, we simply accept it.</p>
<p>There is another way into the Higher Realm&#8230;a front door so to speak.  It is reserved for those who have <em><strong>consciously taken control</strong></em> of their lives&#8230;in thought, word and action.  You are no longer buffeted by whatever blows into your life from without.  You control your life from within&#8230;.your thoughts, your words,  your actions.  How powerful is that?</p>
<p>I had a personal awakening to Immortality 30 plus years ago.  I truly had a moment when my consciousness shifted&#8230;I felt it.  My best friend Suzen shared this magic with me.  We were reading together when the words lightening bolted off the page and shook our beings like never before. It was then that I <em><strong>knew</strong></em> ecstasy.  My desire has been for nothing else since then.</p>
<p>My consciousness had awakened and the Universe was teaching me about Immortality.  First it was a knowing within&#8230;but soon, the Universe dropped books in my lap&#8230;books that wrote about this.  Immortality of the body.  It reinforced what I <em>knew</em>.  A knowing needs no defense&#8230;.it simply is.  You can neither defend it nor change it.  It simply is.  But, it was comforting to know others <em><strong>knew </strong></em>this too&#8230;particularly in the beginning when I was a chic learning to fly.   <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>For you scientific types&#8230;.it is obvious that science alone will bring us to this level someday.  Just look at the strides made in the last 100 years.  Do you really think mankind will be dying 100&#8230;200&#8230;300&#8230;.1000 years into the future?</p>
<p>Why wait for science to figure it out?  You have the<em><strong> power</strong></em> to reach this level yourself.  The key here is your <strong><em>desire</em></strong>.  Mankind holds the secret within himself&#8230;and, it patiently waits for our attention.</p>
<p>Walter Russell states that an atom is simply light curled in on itself.  Discoveries in quantum physics have helped us understand that all matter is densely packed light.  Clear away all the dross of limited thinking that keeps you in a limited state and make way for the light to shine through from the center of your atoms and vibrate your entire body.  You become Light because you <em>are</em> Light.  When you remove the dross the only thing left is Light.  It&#8217;s like polishing a lens until it is crystal clear and it allows the <em><strong>flow</strong></em> of light. Block the flow with limited thinking and you darken the lens and limit the amount of light you generate!</p>
<p>The light within is perfect.  You are perfect.  When you reach the level of consciousness where you accept these things as your truth&#8230;you remove the dross of negative thoughts that have clouded this beautiful perfect vision.  You become Light&#8230;.for <em><strong>THE TOTALITY OF LIGHT THAT YOU ARE SHINES</strong></em>!</p>
<p>There have been thousands that have reached this level., taken control and arrived at the pinnacle of Glory. Will you be <a href="http://www.angelfire.com/in4/alchemy2084" target="_blank">one of them</a>?  Will you be a pioneer in the field of Immortality?  Are you brave enough to think for yourself&#8230;to create your own world by your will?</p>
<p>Never, never place limits on yourself.  The minute you accept any kind of limit&#8230;such as the thought that you will die&#8230;..you open the door to more of the same thing.</p>
<p>Never, never place limits on yourself.  Open the door to <em><strong>all possibility</strong></em>.  Be Grand!! Your life will transform before your eyes.</p>
<p>All things are possible else you could not think them!  Accept your inheritance&#8230;become all that you were destined to be.  Understand your true purpose here on earth.  The earth is your platform to evolve into the next species.  Did you really think that evolution stopped with our present status as Homo sapiens?</p>
<p>&#8220;The body, our body, is the site of the battle of the next species.&#8221;<br />
Satprem  &#8230;.&#8221;The Mind of the Cell&#8221;</p>
<p>When you reach the point of questioning things such as &#8220;death&#8221; then you have arrived at the pinnacle of thought.</p>
<p>Allow the expansion of your mind to occur.  Broaden your horizon to accept it all!  Imagine taking that narrow mind and blasting it to Eternity until it had room for all possibilities!</p>
<p>Your choice.</p>
<p>The earth is evolving.  We are evolving.  The Universe is evolving.  Become a <em><strong>conscious</strong></em> co-creator instead of a bystander.</p>
<p>Take control!</p>
<p>Love all that you are including your body.  Spiritualize your body for it is your vehicle to evolve into&#8230;..Homo Luminous.  Your evolution must take place here on earth.  You must create this being with your <em><strong>willed consciousness.</strong></em></p>
<p>Don&#8217;t take my word for it&#8230;.turn within.  Your answers are there&#8230;but, you must ask.  If you resonate with these words then explore the possibilities&#8230;.your Christ Self/Higher Self has been waiting for this moment&#8230;.the moment you turn within and ask.  There are no limits in life&#8230;only those that you place on yourself.</p>
<p>Love the journey enough to always desire more.  <strong>Desire</strong> is the fuel that drives evolution  <strong>Will</strong> your evolution into Godhood into existence.  It is the next step on the divine journey.  I can only imagine what is in store for us after that!</p>
<p>And, always reach back for those behind you&#8230;&#8230;..and, so it goes.  On and on into Eternity.</p>
<p>Celebrating the greatness of Mankind,</p>
<p>Kathy</p>

<p>I know it&#8217;s time to get back to informing my readers about some great Internet Marketing ideas and tips, but there is something I must do first.</p>
<p>Some of you may be wondering what that red rose is doing on my header.  In fact, I said in a previous post that I would reveal why it was put there in a future post.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the warm explanation.</p>
<p>My 24 year old niece Kerry passed to the other side on Dec. 9th 2007.  I was at her beside with her mom Barb when she transited.  By the time I arrived in Denver Kerry was not at all coherent&#8230;.(although her eyes were open and staring) and on many pain killing medications.  All of her organs were shutting down and the first two days I was there there was no response at all in her face or in her eyes to any kind of gesture from any of us.  She was simply being kept alive with machines.</p>
<p>It was strange seeing Kerry like that&#8230;all kinds of tubes plugged into her and yet she seemed peaceful.  Soon we met with the doctors and it was decided that her family needed to remove the life support and let Kerry go to the higher heavens.  I cannot tell you how difficult that decision was.</p>
<p>That night while we were all sleeping in the waiting room Barb bolted straight up (it was about 5 in the morning. and we have now come to understand that it was Kerry waking her up and telling her to come into the room.)  I peeked out of my eyes and watched as Barb once again went into Kerry&#8217;s ICU room.  Suddenly, just a few minutes later she came running back into the waiting area and said Kerry&#8217;s awake and giving kisses.  I was up and in that room in a flash.  Immobile. and not moving any other muscles, if you got right up to her face, she puckered her sweet little lips ever so slightly and gave you a kiss  Her mom leaned over and talked with her and she turned her head ever so gently towards her.  I leaned over and told Kerry that she must &#8220;be&#8221; there for her mom and dad&#8230;that they would need her.  She nodded&#8230;so slightly&#8230;and, I knew she would be.</p>
<p>Within five minutes of waking she was back to her original non-responsive state.</p>
<p>We know now that Kerry had been gone for a while and that her angels and guides allowed her to come back and say good-bye to her mother and dad&#8230;and brother.  I was lucky to have been there to receive the blessing too.  It was an experience I will never, ever forget.  The heavens gave Kerry and her family the time they desperately needed&#8230;to say good-bye&#8230;.before she left us&#8230;physically&#8230;.to became FREE.</p>
<p>Not long before Kerry went into the hospital for the last time she asked her mom to pick her up a coloring book at the store (it was almost as though she was reverting to all her favorite childhood activities.) I can&#8217;t remember the name of the book she brought home to her, but it was one of those real thick coloring books.</p>
<p>The next day at Barb&#8217;s house she brought out the coloring book&#8230;.there was only one page&#8230;and, one page only that Kerry had colored and it was the picture of a Red Rose&#8230;.completed.  We knew that was Kerry&#8217;s sign to her mom that she will always be with her.  There have since been other very obvious signs with the Red Rose, but this one was so powerful.  I was also told (by my guides) to read the last paragraph of Bette Midler&#8217;s song &#8220;The Rose&#8221; at her passing celebration.</p>
<p>Every website or blog that I put up will now feature a red rose some place for all to see for I know Kerry is here helping me&#8230;..in every way she can, to succeed.  I can feel her presence.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We love you and miss you Kerry but we know that you are now singing with the Angel Choir and shining your bright spirit upon everyone.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Love,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Aunt Kathy</p>
<p>If any of you have time here is a video of Angel Kerry (it&#8217;s only a minute long) when she was in high school singing the lead&#8230;.she had an amazing voice.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Rose</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">When the night has been too lonely<br />
and the road has been too long<br />
and you think that love is only<br />
for the lucky and the strong<br />
Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snows<br />
lies the seed<br />
that with the sun&#8217;s love<br />
in the spring<br />
becomes the rose</p>

<p><a href="http://www.nasaimages.org/luna/servlet/detail/NVA2~4~4~6797~107323:MyCn18--An-Hourglass-Nebula"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-420" style="border: 7px solid black; margin: 6px;" title="Hourglass Nebula" src="http://kathydobson.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/hst_hourglass_big8-150x150.gif" alt="Hourglass Nebula" width="150" height="150" /></a>Here is a picture of <a href="http://www.nasaimages.org/luna/servlet/detail/NVA2~4~4~6797~107323:MyCn18--An-Hourglass-Nebula" target="_blank">MyCn18</a>, also called the Hourglass Nebula.  This nebula is located in the constellation of Musca and is approximately 8000 light years from earth.  The picture was taken by the Hubble Space Telescope and it was discovered by Annie Jump Cannon and Margaret  W. Mayall.</p>
<p>The April 1997 issue of National Geographic featured it on the cover and because of it&#8217;s unique appearance the magazine&#8217;s editors commented that &#8220;Astronomers looked 8000 years into the cosmos with the Hubble Space Telescope and it seemed that the eye of God was staring back.&#8221;</p>
<p>The hourglass nebula looks exactly like a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoMk0estzXc" target="_blank">vesica piscis</a>&#8230;.a geometric figure that everything else in the Universe springs from.   It is literally referred to as the womb of the Universe.</p>
<p>What is most fasinating to me  is that eye in the center.  If you <a href="http://www.nasaimages.org/luna/servlet/detail/NVA2~4~4~6797~107323:MyCn18--An-Hourglass-Nebula" target="_blank">click</a> on the picture you can magnify it with the tool they provide.   Believe me, its worth it.   Awesome isn&#8217;t it?   Is it any wonder that they called it the &#8220;eye of God.&#8221;</p>
<p>There&#8217;s lots of talk about 2012 and it&#8217;s significance.  We are heading back into the Golden Age, having come through the silver, bronze and iron ages, (the age we are presently in) we will soon enter the Golden Age&#8230;.the age of enlightenment.  Each age is approximately 6,500 years, so it takes approximately 26,000 years to complete the cycle.  Everything has a season&#8230;a calendar.  Not only does the earth and other planets orbit around the sun, the sun and planetary system has it&#8217;s own orbit around the galaxy&#8230;and the galaxy is on it&#8217;s own path around the Universe.  Each creating it&#8217;s own times and seasons.  We must pay attention, not only to our own earth&#8217;s rotation and revolution, but expand our horizons to understand the greater systems.  It is happening, whether we choose to pay attention or not.</p>
<p>The womb of our Milky Way galaxy is soon to give birth to a new earth&#8230;a new way of living and being.  We are coming to the end of an age&#8230;.not only the end of an age, but the completion of  the 26,000 cycle .  On <a href="http://alignment2012.com/whatisGA.htm" target="_blank">Dec. 21st, 2012</a> the planes of the earth, sun and center of our galaxy will line up.  Forming a perfect alignment with the center of the galaxy the sun will sit precisely on the heavenly crossroads between the Milky Way and the galactic equinox&#8230;.creating a portal that only happens once in 26,000 years.  Can you imagine the energy that will flow through?</p>
<p>For all you scientists that have a difficult time connecting with the Mayans and what their calendar predicted&#8230;for all those who need scientific proof&#8230;.check out the scientific proof of something major happening astronomically in the heavens in the year 2012.  There truly is a physical, tangible event in the heavens on this date.  If we go back in time to when each of those 6,500 year ages ended, we will find that something major occured  to completely change the course of mankind.</p>
<p>It is time for the marriage of science and spirit.  Is it any wonder that the world mantra right now is &#8220;change?&#8221;</p>
<p>Once again the cosmos mirrors what is happening here on earth.  The space created when you cross two circles is called the womb (it looks exactly like a woman&#8217;s womb&#8230;the place of creation.)  MyCn18 (as well as <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M40-MPbW9F4" target="_blank">SuperNova 1987A</a>) are perfect examples of the vesica piscis&#8230;the womb.  Not surprising that they have both recently surfaced to our attention.  Clues from the heavens to us of what is happening here on earth as well as throughout the Universe.</p>
<p>&#8220;As above, so below.&#8221;</p>
<p>So, next time you go gazing into the cosmos&#8230;..know that the cosmos is gazing back at you. (with lots of love&#8230;of course  <img src='http://kathydobson.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p>Cosmically yours,</p>
<p>Kathy</p>
