If our thoughts come from ideas, then we really do need to be careful about the ideas that we embrace, don’t we?
In working with private clients over two decades I have seen that the limiting beliefs people carry with them stem from some idea that they embraced as immutable truth, usually when they were a child. This is not to criticize the parents, for they were doing the best they could, and often they had no idea that the child was embracing what the child thought was immutable truth but which the parent was able to contextualize differently.
How many of our current thoughts rise up from some idea our 5- or 6-year-old inner child embraced as Truth with a capital ‘T’? This is the work of personal growth, to ferret out those ideas, embraced without examination, that form the basis for many of our current thoughts, especially those that are holding us back from accessing our own inner greatness and from sharing that with the world.
I believe that each of us has an Inner Splendor, a brilliant Light that is ready to shine forth into the world when we access, appreciate and allow it to shine. When we shine this Light through our Soul Purpose in Life we invite others to join us on the Path of Light. This is the beauty of accessing our Inner Splendor and shining that Light.
But what blocks most people are the thoughts that limit them from their own greatness, the thoughts that, when the original idea from which they stem is identified, can be examined and eliminated or embraced depending on whether or not they serve the individual at this time. This is the real work of personal growth.
Are you on a path of examining your thoughts for their origins? Do you continually examine situations in your life for whether or not they stem from beliefs that come from somewhere or someone else, not your Inner Splendor?
The 21st Century has its own transformative energy [especially emphatic as it was ushered in in 2012] and invites us to examine every aspect of our lives so that we can grow in Consciousness and expand our awareness of the workings of the World.
Personal growth is not just about the person. Personal growth is the work we do as individuals that moves us forward on our path so that we might manifest that Inner Splendor as we agreed we would do when we took on this lifetime. Each of us has a Soul Purpose to realize and express. We have a Mission to accomplish on Planet Earth. And all of this depends upon our doing our personal growth work to create clear channels of the energy of Light that shines through us.
Commit yourself to doing your personal growth work. It’s never ‘done.’ I have been actively engaged for a very long time and I am still surprised at things that come up for me to examine and change. I still find things that lurk inside with their insidious influence. It feels so good to release them!
And when I work with clients it is a joy to get the feedback of the freedom they experience when they release their limiting beliefs, the thoughts that no longer serve them!
Do your personal growth work, whatever form that takes for you today. Release the thoughts that depend on your holding onto beliefs that do not serve you. Reach into that higher frequency level of the Light of Consciousness for some new ideas to examine.
You’ll be glad you did!

MUSE-INGS: Who is Your Tribe?
May 23, 2012 — RosemaryThe Mystic Messages have had a lot to say about ‘community’ this year. I’m guessing because we human beings need to be hit over the head sometimes before we get the message we need to hear.
This community of Colorado Springs decided to choose to have half the street lights turned off rather than to raise property taxes a penny to keep them on. The city made national news for that decision. Then our neighbor’s daughter hit a deer in the road because it was a stretch with no street lights and she couldn’t see the deer until it was too late. This poor high school student was very disturbed by the incident.
Fortunately, she was not hurt but the damage could have been much greater. Was that worth keeping a penny per some unit of assessed value? When does the good of the community become more important than the penny?
Why do you suppose that we’re being told so much about ‘community’? Why do you think it’s coming up again and again for us to look at? What happens inside you when you think of the word ‘community’?
For some, the word evokes a strong sense of belonging, of being a part of a tribe joined for the common good. For others, it brings up a fear based on an experience of suffering at the hands of a community that abused or ignored or in some other way was not a good fit for the person. Others think of community as being a group who want to take something away from them that is ‘mine’ – picture here a 2-year-old saying that word with all the ownership a tot can express!
What does ‘community’ mean to you? And can we define/redefine it so that it moves us forward in the evolution of consciousness?
I think it’s important for us to grasp the concept of our being social animals, that we live in community with others whether we like it or not. Unless you are a hermit living in a cave at the top of a mountain somewhere (and I suspect that if you are reading these words, you are not that!) then you live in a community of individuals – your neighborhood, your social tribe, your work colleagues, your family. How do you relate to the others around you?
More importantly, have you found your tribe of like-minded folk with whom you can let your hair down and be your authentic self? Are you a member of a community where people share values and ideals and are exploring how they can live a richer life while helping others to do the same? Do you know how to find that tribe for yourself?
There are intentional communities springing up in many places, including online. Many times there are serendipitous connections being made that lead to the forming of a community. Sometimes it takes intention on the part of one or some individuals to make it happen. And maybe, just maybe, you are the epicenter and it is time for you to gather around you the folks with whom you can relate.
Each individual is a part of multiple communities and the good of the community rests on the shoulders of the individuals who make up that community. If you think that your desires should trump the needs of the communal good then you really need to examine your responsibilities to that community. We human beings need to look beyond ourselves to make contributions that acknowledge our connectedness, not our separation.
Do the inner work to examine your life in this context. What communities are you a part of and what is your role? What communities do you want to become a part of and what is your opportunity to create that connection?
Who is your tribe?
