MUSE-INGS: Do You Feel That You Are Not Enough?

January 25, 2012 — Rosemary

Funny how, when we choose to believe the ‘not enough’ myth in one area of life, we seem to overshadow other areas with ‘not enough’ mentality. If it all starts with a sense of ‘not enough time’ then we really must be careful about sliding into a belief that ‘I am not enough.’

This belief in the self as not enough can be an insidious belief that creeps into our unconscious mind from childhood and sits there coloring all that we do, without presenting itself for us to examine. Doesn’t it seem as if most of us were chosen last for the kickball teams? [or at least our remembrance/perception is that we were always the last one picked!] Somewhere in our childhood some kid chose to play with our friend and exclude us. At some point a parent or teacher sent us the message that we weren’t good enough, even if it was inadvertent or unconscious. [‘Why didn’t you get a better grade on that?’ ‘I wish you were like your brother!’ ‘When I was a kid…’ ‘When your room is clean enough for my standards then you can have ice cream.’] No matter the source, the little kid inside us has embraced the notion that ‘I’m not good enough.’

So now we are adults, scurrying through life with huge to-do lists and stress and time pressures. How many times have you heard [or said], ‘There’s never enough time!’?

I think the message for us is to recreate our relationship to time so that we can remove the ‘not enough’ energy from our being. What if we were to declare that there is just enough time to do what needs to be done in any given day? Doesn’t that take some pressure off us as we judge ourselves deficient because we didn’t accomplish everything we set out to do? We think we’re not enough when we decide there’s not enough time.

This is related to my mantra: Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given time.

In this present moment, you are making choices about what you will and will not do in that moment. You are making the best choice you can with what you know right then. You might get some feedback that would cause you to make a different choice later but, in that moment, with what you had to work with, you made the best choice possible. And all you have is the present moment. You aren’t leaping forward to see what the consequences might be and what you might learn, then coming back to the present to decide your action. You make a choice in the moment and act on it. Then you get the feedback.

Each of us only has the present moment in which to live. If we worry about the past or the future we take energy out of this present moment. This moment is enough. WE are enough. Every choice is a lesson to be learned, bringing with it all the feedback we need at just the right time.

Be enough. Believe that you are enough. You have enough time. The corollary is that, if you didn’t get it done, it wasn’t meant to be done in that moment.

Now relax.

MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: Giving — A New Way to Think About It

December 6, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

We would talk to you today about the concept of giving to others.

There is a teaching that Giving is greater than Receiving but, to many people, this has become an admonition to avoid receiving and a judgment against giving to oneself. We would like to discuss changing your thinking regarding this concept.

Now, we are not going to say that it is not a good thing to be a giving person, for it IS good to give. But if you allow yourself to consider giving to others as more important than giving to yourself you will find yourself depleted of resources for the next person in line after you have given all you have to give. This is not just about physical presents but also your time, your energy, your resources, your thoughts and beliefs, your body. There are so many ways that you can give yourself away until you have nothing left to give. We want you to change your thinking about this.

Giving to others is a wonderful energy that creates a high vibrational frequency for all involved. That means that the recipient of gifts also has their frequency raised by the experience when the giving is of the proper energy. But, and this is a big ‘but,’ if you give out of resentment or a wish to be doing something else or an anger, at someone else or at yourself for getting yourself into yet another situation over which you feel you have no control or for which you wish you had said ‘no’ instead of ‘yes,’ then you are giving from a low vibration energy that impacts others as well as yourself. What are you truly giving under these circumstances?

Do not give when you feel yourself in a negativity associated with a lower vibration, for others do not deserve that ‘gift’ of negativity. Whatever you are feeling projects outward into the Universe and impacts those around you. When you are feeling anger or hatred or resentment you project a vibration that taints the very air around you. It is not kind to subject others to that low vibration and you certainly don’t want to do that in a gift-giving situation.

Rather, lift yourself up by thinking of something positive about the situation or the person or the gift before you connect with another. And it is best to do this before you are committed to the giving. Are you feeling forced to buy a gift for someone you do not particularly like? Then ask why you are doing this. If it is an obligation, such as a family member or a work colleague, and you feel you must do this, then find something positive to consider to lift your energy level. Did they once do something for you? Can you give them something for their smile? Do they support a cause you believe in? Are they a good parent? Will your giving a nice gift raise the vibration of the relationship?

Sometimes the giving is not of a gift but of yourself and your own resources. Ask yourself why you are in this situation. Be very honest with yourself. Perhaps you are already committed to this situation at this time but can you make a conscious decision to say ‘no’ next time? If you feel you have given away your power to another by accepting blindly their beliefs, adopting their thinking, subjugating your own desires to theirs, then you must seriously examine the relationship. Why are you willing to make a gift of yourself if it depletes who you are?

Give to yourself the respect, honor and resources that you deserve. Give to yourself the time you need to replenish your energy so that you can be generous to others. Take care of your needs so that you remain in a position to give to others when they are in need. Be very careful about giving away your own power to others – it is your most precious resource.

And keep yourself thinking positive thoughts so that your energy is always at a high vibrational energy. Give this to yourself and you will be a more generous giver to others.

And so it is.

from The Divine Feminine: Relationship Rx — Time for a New Prescription?

August 23, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

The heart of a person is never operating in a way that is fully visible to others. Remember this in all your personal interactions.

Each person has a series of experiences in their past that influence their feelings in any given moment. From birth onward they have had feelings, emotions, experiences that have shaped them into the person they are today. As you have been shaped by your life, you must understand that every person around you has also been shaped by theirs. Can you find an understanding place within you so that you accept every other person just as they are without judgment or analysis or condemnation?

Think of a recent interaction with someone that you wish had gone differently. This doesn’t necessarily mean an angry confrontation or anything you would deem negative, just something that you wish had taken a different path. Now think of that person as a little child in that situation, where they were probably operating from a position where they didn’t have the same information that you had about that situation. Might you see that their choices were based on only the information that they had at the time, not on what you knew or had experience with, but only on their limited experience? Perhaps it triggered a remembrance of something they had already experienced and so they responded as they had before. Or perhaps they chose a different response to seek a different result.

When you try on the perspective of another person, you are working from a place where you have all the insights of your perspective but can see that they might have been looking at things differently. We hope that this gives you a feeling of understanding and comprehension of what is going on in any interaction.

Other people are not you. They have a different way of seeing life and themselves. They are the product of all their experiences to date and they can only look through the lens of those experiences. You have not had the same experiences. Your lens is not the same as theirs. You must understand this if your interpersonal relationships are to be successful.

Some people teach that you must learn to forgive, but the definition of forgiveness does not come from this place of understanding. You have no obligation to become a doormat to others, or to forgive something that has injured or harmed you. Forgiveness is not saying, ‘It’s all right,’ although that is how many interpret forgiveness.

True forgiveness is the understanding that there is nothing to forgive, in this old sense of the word. Everybody is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given moment. You might wish they had more or different resources, but they are doing the best they can. Forgiveness from this perspective means ‘I understand that you are looking through your personal lens and I choose not to take into myself the energy of owning your choices and your perspective.’ When you make a decision about how you will react, how you respond to something, you are choosing whether to take that trigger into yourself or let it pass through.

At the same time you must decide whether or not you are going to place yourself in this situation again in the future. Too many times it is easier to let something go that has disturbed you, allow feelings of anger or resentment or worse fester within you, and yet you do not make the choice to distance yourself from the other person. Or you do not express appropriately the feelings that you are having to inform that person [and, thus, to give them more resources/information] so that they can make the choice to change their behavior if they wish.

Relationships are not about two people always seeing eye to eye because no two people have had the same experiences to bring to their connection with each other. Relationships that thrive do so because each individual has found a way to remain their own person while allowing the other person to also remain an individual, different but agreeing on seeing things through different, very personal lenses.

Remember this in all your interactions with others!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Purpose doesn’t depend on Pounds [or Dollars]! by Rosemary Bredeson

February 15, 2011 — Rosemary

I’ve been attending a lot of business seminars lately and they all seem to be focused on making more money.  Of course, people are in business to make a profit but I wonder if somewhere along the way we’ve forgotten WHY we want to make money.

Or maybe we’ve just forgotten the BIG WHY of each of our lives.  Have you ever questioned why you are incarnated on Planet Earth at this particular moment in the history of the Universe?  Do you really believe that the answer is ‘to make money’?  I’m guessing not.  So why are we so focused on the Almighty Dollar [or Pound Sterling or gold coin]?

I think the answer lies in the setup of the environment in which we find ourselves.  Some people tell us that making money is everything and others imply that it is a bad thing and we should give all of our money to them.  Hmmm….  What is wrong with this picture?  It seems to give power to money instead of power to the person who controls a commodity that we have collectively imbued with a certain value.

Now look at what we are being told in this message about our Life Purpose.  Are you in touch with what your Life Purpose is?  Do you feel that your current life is in alignment with that purpose?  If not, do you have a plan to discover your Life Purpose and to bring your life activities into alignment with it?  Maybe that should be at the top of your to-do list.

Who are the people in your immediate environment?  Do they support you in pursuing your dreams?  Will they support you if you decide to make some changes so that you can be more congruent with your Life Purpose?  Are THEY living in alignment with their Purpose?  What is their attitude toward money and happiness and having the resources to pursue their dreams?

Think about the energy of your own environment, both internal and external.  What are your beliefs about happiness?  About money?  Do you even know how to access your internal feelings and beliefs?

At this time in human history we must all be moving forward in our growth toward greater understanding and the evolution of human consciousness.  Having the resources to allow us to pursue higher thoughts, to examine philosophies, to move beyond survival into living a greater purpose on the Planet – these are qualities of an evolving life and the time and inclination to pursue these endeavors require that we have a certain freedom from worrying about money.  The person who is living on the streets is not free to ponder the greater scheme of things.  If you are reading these words you are probably enjoying enough resources to consider philosophy beyond pondering where your next meal is coming from.  Even if you are struggling financially, can you see that being in alignment with your Life Purpose creates a relaxation and a flow of energy that allows and invites the Universe to provide you with even more resources?  It is worth the effort to delve into determining your Life Purpose and to examine your beliefs around money and happiness.   Many people are joining you in this quest at this time.

It IS time to do this work.  All of humanity is asking each individual to lead a self-examined life and to contribute to the evolution of the collective consciousness of the Universe.  When you respond to the call to do this work the Universe has an obligation to provide the resources.  Don’t be afraid to do the inner work required.  You will be rewarded by being shown the ways to make the money to give you the freedom you need to live your Life Purpose.  Join the evolutionary movement!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Happiness or Money – which do you really seek?

February 15, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Here is some guidance for you if you desire to live your life to its fullest potential.  Do not succumb to the allure of riches for riches sake.  And do not allow yourself to be distracted from your Soul Purpose in being on Planet Earth at this time.

We see too many people who are enticed into endeavors that promise to make them wealthy without feeding their soul or their soul mission.  These people are greedy for money and might even convince themselves that they are motivated by a desire to help others but greed for money does not result in happiness on Planet Earth.  Happiness comes from a sense of alignment with what is in the Universal Plan for one’s life.  Partnerships, family, love, a right livelihood, and service – all of these contribute to one’s happiness.

We are not saying that there is anything wrong with being wealthy or in having money.  On the contrary, the Light Workers of the Universe would rather see the wealth of Planet Earth given to those who would use money as an energy for helping others and serving the highest good of the Planet than to see the money concentrated in the hands of a few who withhold the money from others who need it.

Money is merely an energy exchange that has been agreed upon by humans on Planet Earth to have a certain value.  Everything that one does or has has a certain value attached to it, not always expressible in monetary terms.  But the value of money is determined by agreement between parties involved.  Markets around the world decide on the relative value of their different currencies.  Prices can be set by some authority or be determined by the exchange market between parties.  Money has no intrinsic value in the higher orders of life.

Is money, having money, gaining money a high value for you?  Then ask yourself what it is that you intend to do with that money.  Do you long for money that you do not have?  Then ask yourself why you are putting any energy into focusing on lack and shift your thinking to having all the resources you need to be happy.  If you focus on money for money’s sake, then you lose the ability to be happy when money is not the commodity required to gain that happiness.

For example, if you believe that having money will make you happy and focus on how you lack the money that you wish to have, you will drive yourself farther and farther away from having the money you desire.  If, however, you focus on being happy, on being of service, and on helping others to find happiness, then the Universe will support you in your endeavors to gain the resources that you need to support being happy.

Stop thinking about money and think in terms of resources.  Money is one resource.  What is it you really desire?  Is it money?  Or is it what money can buy?  Do you really want to be a slave to a job to earn money or are you really desiring freedom from worrying about money?  When you have money in your pocket now do you share that with others or do you tight-fistedly hold onto it?

Think about your relationship to the resources that are available to you in your life at the present moment.  Do you have friends?  Do you have a place to live?  Do you have work that fulfills you?  Do you know your Life Purpose and are you living it now?  If your answer is no to any of these, then get about solving those situations.  Allow yourself to let making money be a part of gaining something important to you.  You will be more motivated then to gather the resources you need if your intention is to have something that your unconscious mind values more highly than the dollar.  And the result will be that you will end up with more money!  Isn’t that interesting?

And so it is.
