This is a different from Java coffee place, the Kona Coffeehouse and Cafe. Pretty close to where I live. I like the coffee here, and although it’s close to the road, I’m sitting in the back where it’s quiet.
So why am I writing from here? Too much “noise” at my house. But not really noise. My landlady has a close friend she rarely sees, and when they arre together, it seems talking volumes go UP. So I can either B&M (bitch and moan) or take action. Like coming here for coffee, where they have good coffee, free wireless internet, and electrical plugs.
It seems this message has to do with allowing others to work their stuff out. Without getting in their way. At least that’s part of it. And there’s a lot of that going on right now. Even in me!!
I’m not giving all the details, but a few would be that there are some issues that raise their heasd, and have raised their heads. And they raise them for a reason… at least in my book. That’s to be cleared.
Sometimes that’s an “action free” clearing. Sometimes it’s an action-filled clearing. Like the couple of companies I’ve dealt with over the past few weeks. One sent me a defective product (2 of them, actually), which I could sort of use. So I finally returned one of them, but the company asked me to pay for shipping and their “10% restocking fee.” The latter really means, “We think you are a pain in the okole for challenging the quality of our product, so we’ll tack on this extra cost that really has nothing to do with anything except that we think anyone who returns anything is a pain in the okole.” (there… that’s my business rant).
My action was, since I bought this on eBay, to file an eBay claim. Eventually they ruled in my favor, and returned the $15.92 I had paid for shipping and the “10% restocking fee”.
Action. Sometimes it’s a little bit required for our “ascending” in Spirit.
Action, like coming down here to the Kona Coffeehouse and Cafe and kicking back and feeling a different breeze and not looking at the ocean or anything like that.
Well, they’re about ready to close here, and my battery is close to 25% (never did get to that “electrical plug” thing), so I’ll end it. I’ll leave the comments open for this one, as I’m sure a few of you can relate.
Aloha to all, KP.

Oh yeah! I can totally relate. Not allowing others to work things out themselves makes things worse.
Sometimes we have to make hard decisions and eliminate what can become a cancer to the cause. Always hard. Always with casualties. But always necessary.
Synch
Oh Goodness! I’m glad I’m not the only one B&M and complaining! Now I feel in good company!
Yes, I can relate as well, and kudos to you for taking gentle action to honour your needs and those of the ones around you.
I keep thinking that one day soon I want to travel the world and visit the blog writers that have been giving me so much over these past months.
Meet you at one of those lovely coffee houses, perhaps I’ll manage to bring a few friends. What a lovely meeting that will be :)
Sunny regards from Scotland :)
Anita
Great idea, a pilgrimage to the blog writers! Sign me up! And I am planning a trip to Scotland (hopefully next year) to visit my ancestors castle, Dunnodar. Cant wait!
Yes yes yes KP I can relate! I have had very little contact with my closest “peeps” lately, exactly for the reasons you mention. Just can’t communicate well and I get so irritated with folks. Myself, especially, going round and round again with same old issues I thought i had resolved long ago. I let them go already, why are they here again?
As Dr Wayne Dyer says- Time to look for a new street to go down. ( He was on PBS last night) He tells the story of a friend (now departed) who attended a workshop where she was asked to write the 5 chapters of her life on one 5×7 card. Here is what she wrote:
Chapter 1- I walk down a street. Along the way, I fall into a hole. Its deep,dark, and very hard to get out of, but I finally make it out. It was not my fault I fell in.
Chapter 2- I walk down the the street again. I pretend I do not see the hole, and so I fall into it again. Back in the same dark place. Just like last time, hard to get out, but I make it out a little quicker. An accident, not my fault.
Chapter 3- I walk down the street. I see the hole, and I start to walk by, but I can’t resist looking down into it. I fall in. Really? Did I really do this AGAIN? It’s still dark down here, but I know the way out, and I make my escape. I know it’s my fault.
Chapter 4- I walk down the street. I walk right past that hole. I am proud.
Chapter 5- I walk down a new street.
Great story,yes? I saw Dyer when I was in Maui in ’99, love his views and his presentations. He said something else very profound last night, and I hope I can share, even though this is longer than I intended.
He was diagnosed with leukemia a couple of years ago, and even with all his spiritual training and experience, he still wasn’t able to achieve the healing he wanted. He finally figured out that he was still hanging onto perceived wrongs that had been done to him, his judgements about how others behaved, his hurt feelings over things past. He came to this epiphany partly through a visit to John of God. Anyway, he at last just let it all go once and for all, and realized as long as he made any kind of judgement toward anyone at all for any reason, he was holding back the God force which allows all healing, all knowledge and all joy.
He is now healed and well.
Well….that says it all, doesn’t it? I am in exactly the same place and I am so ready to get to a new street. Yes I am.
I AM. ;-)
And so it is.
Love to you and to everyone, all are one!
LOVED this. Thank you for sharing!
This is so awesome, thanks for sharing! It lifted up my spirit :)
Thank you for sharing that story! It’s just what I needed to hear this morning :)
Hi KP
Have never commented on your blog before, but O man! Did I relate to this, especially where you said that sometimes we have to get out of the way, by non-action, whilst others sort their stuff out. Without gushing my whole long-life story of hard lessons I keep repeating, I have just had a big win within myself. Instead of always being the meat in the sandwich, trying to facilitate the disparate factions of groups or individuals who need to be collaborating but are not, trying to get each other to understand one another, and trying to anticipate needs and alleviate the struggles, which insight can see so clearly manifesting … well … no … instead, I have got myself out of the way … and instead of always ending up the scapegoat … no. And what will happen, will happen between the parties, because it needs to. Meanwhile, I can work differently with the insights into “seeing” the inevitable struggles, or trying to alert everyone to things up ahead that everyone is too short-sighted to see as all attention is on the struggles with each other, by “knowing” the best in everyone and myself, waiting for the clearing, and so saving my energy for when the way is cleared, whereas by that point I am usually totally sacrificed, spent and useless. Well … no more … that pattern is dissolved. Phew …
Bradda,
Try invest in a pair of high quality headphones. I bought a pair of klipsch in-ear headphones a few months back, and man have they improved the quality of my life!
These combined with apps like naturespace and sleepstream…and it matters not what’s going on around me.
Although we may not always be able to escape the immediate chaos around us, we can always create our own island of tranquility within– with a little help from some high quality headphones, and some highly convincing hollographic naturescapes!
All the best, and be in-joy!
Aloha,
Aaron
How true! And mahalo for the reference to the apps.
Gday KP
YES, i CAN relate to this story as I do a lot of business on Ebay. But they are pretty good at getting things sorted out if the seller is a bit nasty, as most of the companies are. Just more of the same old thievery mate. But that is all coming to an end henk goodness.
Blessing s mate.
My goes out to you, and my understanding as well. More stuff on this end clearing out, and feeling sleepy to boot. At least we’re in the home stretch, yet it is a good moment to take a nap or coast, as sometimes it can feel a little much. Have been seeing many ship shaped clouds, and at times a de-cloaked ship, so much fun to see. Other times, angel wing clouds make my heart soar. And, sometimes it is time here to suddenly be physically somewhere else, guided by Spirit…quite the adventure. Blessings, love and light to you! We (me and friends) appreciate, and are grateful for your messages, the blog, and for being you!…thank you so much for all you do!
Oops, when I said “My goes out to you,” I meant “My heart goes out to you” and it does! Blessings!
Well my friend I can certainly understand what is happening. I however do not have the same situation regarding excess activity and noise. In my work I find many individuals in need of help and are seeking that help more than ever. It is quite rewarding to see their light begin to shine. Love/Light I send to you, Lenred
~I like Ur personal sharings, Kauilapele…The air in the breeze brings freshness and is tangible…TY~
There are times when.. compromise is not acceptable..and action is necessary..and empowering..carry on kauilapele..to cut the cords of the energy drainers..they are countin’ on you not acting…make them “snap out of it ” ..if only for a nano sec.
Doesn’t it feel good to know when things like that happen you get to blog about it? I did when it took two hours to check in at my mom’s timeshare. The room they had for us, after I wheeled her in 115F weather across the property, was occupied! I had to push her back to the office to straighten it out, and back again to the same building! Two lessons from this: 1) know that you are being tested. My motto for this is Let’s Burn Karma! And 2) forgive and forget. They gave us a bottle of wine to get us in resort mode. We chose to accept the gesture. Of course I blogged about the lesson behind the crap we endured. Hope your lessons shines bright soon for you. : D
No, no, there needs to be a sword involved… at least a phaser on stun… too mild….
“Restocking fee”? Please.
I am going to change the subject…KP is going to be on Light Agenda radio show next week…can’t wait…what a treat…looking forward to “hearing” you
Namaste

Was just reading the comments as wanted to add the same one as you Spiritdancing. Glad you did. I already put it in my calendar as an appointment. Now, who is going to volume level and post MP3′s for this one ;-)
Yes, we have to get off our ass to save it. The Corporations will suffer our rath once we are standing together. I appreciate all of your out put…keep on sending. Aloha, Paul
Hello Braddah KP:
This is my first time commenting on your site. I really enjoy your positive vibes and self-reflection/responsibility. When I read your article it resonated with me because I too have been experiencing challenges in dealing with others. I finally just surrendered to Infinite Loving Source… The message to me was to “Accept” all my situations and people, places, things, etc… just accept in the moment for then there is no resistance. Resistance is the main culprit in these times… resistance to ascension.
When we accept everybody for who they are, even apparently rotten people, we are choosing the ultimate Love. Respecting freewill & giving unconditional love. As Lester Levenson once said, we must desire freedom more than any other desire (wanting approval, wanting control, wanting safety or wanting separation).
Easier said than done, but as you demonstrated, it all starts with the SELF and taking whatever action feels best from our Highest Self. After ‘accepting’ the moment, then we are free to release all things so we are in a state of bliss/peace.
Then for the fun part… if you pump yourself up full of Love to all the trillions of cells within your body, then you can zap people/places/things with Love! Try it. Next time there is an uncomfortable situation, pump yourself up w/ Love, then send it to those who really need it in these times.
The best thing to do is practice giving your trillions of cells Love every morning, every day. You will be bursting full of love to help others!
Shakka & Mahalo.
That’s IT!! You got it, Eblaine.
I was going to do another post about this, because I remember a ministerial type friend of mine who used to say, “The best way to get out of a situation you don’t like, is to LOVE your way out of it!”
With the eBay company rep, I told him what I thought was fair, and when he said, “We can’t do that,” I responded, “Well, we’ll just agree to disagree on that. Thank you.” No distress, no put downs of any kind.
We can do the same thing with all of these “dark” people, corporations, and so on!!
Thank you Eblaine! I’ll carry your practice with me today!
Mahalo~
Blessings on your day KP ♥
Aloha KP,
Great to see we all have similar views of the business deals and service. My own experience lately was that a dance school was going to sell me shoes that weren’t for sale, I became ill, went back to get them, oh we sold them online, no sorry or anything. So no dramas, I let it be. Funny thing is my job is a customer svc roll, I now use it to bring some Light to peoples days, just by wishing them well for their day etc.
And to everyone everywhere, enjoy your day/night as well :~) ~Deano~
Cant wait for your “light agenda” phone in next week….Have so enjoyed “kauilapeles blog” for the last 8 months….Have passed your blog address on to so many other “likeminded”
“Awakened” Jen (Lake District Uk) X
After seeing “Awakened” everywhere I looked AFTER incorporating it into my being (thanks to K.P. suggestion) I now am seeing LOVE everywhere….”Got” this morning to “fill up every part of body with love” Have just started reading “source field investigations” and after a few pages I am convinced the elusive “source field” is nothing more than LOVE….I say nothing more than in the flippentest of terms ……..as it is THE ALL and the “secret” which is there for all to see ….sometimes the truth is hidden in reality all the time and we go all out looking for the answer which is there if you just see it. !! X
Interesting ! I do the same thing the same day: going out to flee noises and drink a coffe in a calm and cool place… synchronicities…
days of clearing stuff
two carloads to the Goodwill
more “space” feels better
next up: setting boundaries
loving ME well is Job One
*sending aloha to all as I sip my morning Kona from a hand-thrown pottery mug*
Oh how I wish I had a big cup of kona with vanilla macodemian flavor right now!
I’ve been there! About 8 years ago during that Venus transit to be with the dolphins. Mmmm, ono cuppa coffee!
You da man, Kauilapele!
Keeping it real and keeping us informed. Not to mention reminding us to stay centered and to think like a Galactic Citizen, full of peace and brotherly love. :-)
Here’s an idea for you: set up a coffe cup icon on your homepage. People can click on and buy
you a cup of your favorite drink: coffee!
Link it up somehow to PayPal or a smililar business, maybe one locally owned where you live. I’d love to buy you a cup to show my appreciation in a small way.

KP-
I think that you are a barometer for many of us. Thank you for being spot on again. It’s so helpful to see it in writing & then think, Oh is that what was going on? I had something happen yesterday (horrid training on a ‘new and improved’ wretched system) it created such angst. And I just didn’t know why. Usually I just let it go. Gotta give it love & move along. Thanks so much for your posts & insight!
Kauilapele,
You are such a wonderful blessing.. Yeah!!! I look forward to your posts no matter what
and feel the upliftment of your essence. Thanks for being there.. Blessings to you!!
Aloha KP
another great post. Thanks for all you do. I thought i would share this as well. She truly resonates with me.

Thank you for spreading such exquisite love and joy. Many blessings to you and all our brothers and sisters of golden light, all-ways!((♥))
Aloha in HI too but Maui.. Totally on same radio station with your postings and aligned to your sites you reference. It seems, as an observer, to keep the mana going in the mire of dense ness. Mahalo for sharings and heart.. shanti you are awesome KP happy wonderful day to you! Keep your beauty all Tai Chi and vibrant.. Your blOg is awesome
God bless you, KP.
Aloha from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.
You have The Gift, no doubt. Nice post, nice change of pace (but not really, right?). I look forward to hearing you talk on The Light Agenda next week. Very much. Aloha, you master-in-disguise you. . . . .
This is more toward your earlier blog, “A Quietness”. OF COURSE it’s all important to somebody else. That’s why we read and appreciate your blogs, we connect through them.
Don’t stop saying whatever it is that you feel needs saying.
Mikey, in Waianae.
Mahalos Mikey… Great to hear from the Leeward side. In my mind, the ONLY side of Oahu. From a Helelua Street in Nanakuli former guy!!
Hi Kauilapele!
Pardon the lack of comments the past two months, but I was busy finding myself a job and thanks to divine intervention, I was fortunate to receive my best job yet!
Anyways, how have things been with you, Kauilapele? I hear you’re busting a lot of heads over at the coffee house and engaging in highly illicit Wi-fi internet tapping. I’ll overlook the heavy caffeine drinking and highly suspicious, ocean-side cloud pictures as a side effect of too few articles, but mostly, Land-lord-apartment-lady-can’t-talk-quietly-driving-me-nutess
The solution to your problem Kauilapele, is to live in the company of the dolphins, fish, turtles and gorilla too and write articles every hour on the hour at the coffee shop (ask for coffee refills) or…just tell your landlord lady above you the honest truth how you feel (it stinks, your too loud) and if she doesn’t respect that then that will be your sign that it is time to move on to better location.
Peace, especially at home, is the most sacred of places. As lightworkers we have the tendency at times to walk away from conflicts. There is nothing wrong with that, however, when it is a home matter, someone is artificially causing you to walk away from your home to go elsewhere. Since, it is your home and a place where you eat, sleep, read, write and spend a great deal of time that is a personal violation of space.
Anyways, that’s my little soapbox for the day. Any news on disclosure, Kauilapele? I’d love to get some keen news on disclosure regarding UFO contact on a massive scale in the mainstream media, bring an end to corruption in the world with these negative entities and finally reparations for the citizens of the world that are sorely in need of money (not just banksters).
Pray for disclosure soon, this waiting-for-disclosure-watching-the-global-economic-system-collaspe-gauntlet is draining a great deal of my energy, not to mention sanity and focus. I swear, if we have to wait till December to see anything significant happen, no amount of extremely beautiful Pledian, or Andromedan women or interstellar ping-pong matches will make up for it. Well, the women will, but still, come on man! Let’s get the show on the road before we run out of refreshments!
Keep up the good work, Kauilapele! Much love!
Sincerely,
Chad Burlin
