BOOK LIGHTS: From “The Journey” by Brandon Bays

March 10, 2010 — Rosemary

“I realized that there is a way in which everyone must follow their own, unique healing path, and it is an experience that no one else can have for you.  Spiritual transformation is an inner journey – it’s the soul’s personal path of learning and letting go, and it’s something that must be experienced on your own.”

Spiritual transformation IS an inner journey, and it starts with asking the right questions of our Self in every moment: Who am I to be in this moment?  What is mine to do in this moment?   What is the truth for me in this moment?

MUSE-INGS: Spreading Love and Light to All of Humanity

March 9, 2010 — Rosemary

Humans are capable of so much love and devotion to each other that it is disturbing to see how many people are choosing a path away from that.  What has happened to cause us to lose our way to the Light?

I don’t have a simple answer to that question.  I am constantly amazed at the way that some people speak of others, the demonizing of those who disagree.  I work diligently to learn the truth of the news and am amazed at the lies that are perpetrated on those who are unwilling to work so hard to uncover these lies.  It amazes me that there are those who willingly repeat lies to unsuspecting folks who listen with a belief that they are being told the truth.  How much darkness is spread through lies?

And then I hear of efforts to respond to natural disasters that come from an outpouring of love for all humanity and I am encouraged that, while the media might give air time to those who spread lies, most humans on Planet Earth are of a compassionate nature.  How cold a heart must it take to turn away from a child in need?

I’ve heard the theory proposed that the bombing of a building in Oklahoma City years ago opened the heartland of the US and created an outpouring of love for that City and those who were affected by the bombing.  There was a tsunami that was devastating and again humanity came to the assistance of other members.  Earthquakes and hurricanes and typhoons happen and all eyes, hearts and wallets are focused on giving aid.

Perhaps these natural disasters are Mother Nature’s way of focusing our attention on the need for us all to agree that the peoples of Earth are really all one people.  And a natural disaster is a way of telling us where to focus our Love and Light at the moment.  We might wish that governments rushed to help human beings but in the end it is human beings who will step in when they can offer compassion.  Indeed, some governments do rush to help.  Some countries are founded on principles that the government works for the people, for the individuals who might need assistance and their response to natural disasters reflects this.

But the ultimate responsibility for each individual is always to ask, ‘What is mine to do in this situation?’ Whether that situation is in one’s own immediate life, one’s local environment, or on the world scale, the question is always, ‘What is mine to do?’

Leading with this question and really listening for the answer that comes from deep within oneself will lead to a choice to bring Light and Love to Planet Earth.  No one who truly asks with an open mind and an open heart will hear an answer that causes them to shut down, to bring more darkness to the Planet.

I like to believe that more and more people are asking and listening and hearing that they are to spread the Light of Love more broadly on the Planet!  That all humans are part of One Humanity.  That separation is not of the Light.  And Love enhances Love every time!!!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Can We Expand Consciousness in the Face of Disaster?

March 8, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

We are pleased that so many people are discussing the advancement of human consciousness in these important days.  You will soon know why this is so important.

As people on Planet Earth begin to realize that there is something greater than their everyday life they will also start to look at each other with enlightened eyes.  Understanding that the greater is much greater than earlier perceptions would indicate gives one the scope to embrace all other humans with acceptance and an open heart.  Those who are getting a glimpse into the greater Light of expanded awareness are also feeling that expansion in their own hearts so that they can reach out from a place of Universal Love to others.

When there are big events like earthquakes and tsunamis on Earth there is more going on than the news stories portray.  Human compassion can be opened to reach out to those who have been touched by disaster.  But there is also an opening of the heart chakra of all humanity when so many are focused on one group of people.  It is said that there has been an ‘outpouring of compassion’ when thousands of people are affected by an event.  This outpouring comes from a unification of purpose, a desire to be of assistance, a concern for the plight of other humans.  These are all fostered by the Love of one human for all others at a very basic level.

Now we would tell you that there are some who are not moved by compassion in these circumstances.  There are some who see these situations as opportunities for making money, for exerting power and influence.  These people have lost the connection to Soul, to the human heart that beats in them and that was once connected to the Universal Love Source but whose connections they have worked to sever.  These people live in a bleakness that has drained the color from their existence.  Darkness and black indicate a total lack of light and color.  Light, brilliant white light, contains all the colors of the rainbow as any prism will show you.  Those who live a bleak existence cannot see the colors of light because they have shut their hearts and eyes to that color.  It is almost as if they must put on dark glasses to block the tiniest ray of light from their view.

But these people are in the minority on Planet Earth.  Why do so many give power to the few?  As we look upon the inhabitants on Earth at any given time we wonder at those who choose to remain in ignorance of their own inner power.

Each human being is born onto the Planet with a heart filled with Light and Love just waiting to be expressed within his or her environment on the Planet.  Even those born into uncomfortable situations are filled with this Light and Love at their birth.  They live a life that is waiting to unfold and to grow that Light and Love to the fullest they are able.  Childhood is a time of Lightness, of play.  Even those who have nothing according to material standards on Earth have a sense of delight at play.  Those who are hungry long for food but still know how to smile at a loved one.  And those who have plenty will laugh and play and love with abandon.

So what is it that shuts down this Light and Love that is within every human heart at birth?  It is not just the accident of circumstances, the childhood experiences, the schooling one receives that does this.  It is the conscious choice to select greed over Love, power over Light, to inflict harm without compassion for others.  When one can dispassionately kill or harm or deny care to others then one has stepped away from Love and Light.

But most people on Planet Earth have not moved so far from Love and Light that they cannot retrace their steps to offer Love and Light to others.  When Mother Earth offers an opportunity to expand the Love and Light within, as she does with every so-called ‘disaster’ of natural causes, then She is offering all of humanity an opportunity to open their heart and spread Love and Light around the Planet.  Every act of compassion increases the Love and Light available on Planet Earth.   Every disaster is an opportunity for the expansion of consciousness for all humanity.

Think on these thoughts.

And so it is.

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY: March 5, 2010

March 5, 2010 — Rosemary

Spring is just around the corner and most of us are ready!  I look at the north-facing front yard that still has mounds of snow in it and think how lovely the grass will be with all this moisture.  And I love sitting on the south-facing deck in the afternoon to soak up the warm Colorado sun, waiting for the first blooms to appear.  [They’ll be awhile yet here in CO!]  I hope that you, too, are anticipating the new growth and the warm sunshine for Spring where you are.

With Spring come new opportunities for personal growth.  It is a great time to schedule a private session to clear out the old thoughts and beliefs, consult with your inner guides  and get ready for bringing in newness in your life.  This Spring I’ll be offering a new workshop, 7 Steps to Conscious Confidence: Clearing the way to make decisions with Full Consciousness and Great Confidence.  In this fun weekend you’ll explore the decisions you make and why you make them, clear the path for more conscious choices, and you’ll leave with the tools you need to have confidence in the choices you make in the future.  So if you’re not where you want to be in life, or you’ve been feeling unsure of choices you’re facing, then join us in Colorado Springs April 24-25, 2010 for a powerful weekend.  Details are at: www.rosemarybredeson.com

Another great opportunity for fun as well as education is the evening event, Conversations with The Other Side, being offered on Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 7:00 pm in Colorado Springs.  Last month’s was a powerful event and sold out!  Space is very limited for this event so that each attendee can receive a personal message from an angel or spirit guide or a loved one who has crossed over.  Be sure to register early to reserve your space for this month’s offering.  Bring a friend with you.  Find details and register at:  www.rosemarybredeson.com

I’d be happy to offer a Conversations evening in Maryland during my visit March 30 – April 5 so if you’re in the Annapolis area and would like to host the event, please contact me.

BOOK LIGHTS: From “The Journey” by Brandon Bays

March 3, 2010 — Rosemary

Here’s a long quote that describes well something hard to put into words:

“I felt as if my own awareness filled not only the room but extended boundlessly beyond, encompassing everything and in everything.  My mind became utterly still, completely thought-free, and it seemed as if we were all bathing, soaking in this presence of love.  We were steeping in Source.

“After a few minutes we opened our eyes, and as I got ready to speak, it occurred to me that this stillness is contagious.  If there is just one person hanging out in thought-free awareness, everyone ‘catches’ it.  I have since read a beautiful quotation by W.B. Yeats which expresses this perfectly:

“We can make our mind so like still water that beings gather about us to see their own images, and so for a moment live a clearer, perhaps even fiercer, life because of our quiet.”

MUSE-INGS: Be an Explorer of Worlds Beyond the Known!

March 2, 2010 — Rosemary

Whenever there is a discussion of the expansion of human consciousness some people’s eyes glaze over and other people perk up with excitement.  I’m not sure why we have such differing reactions to the subject.  I’ve always been curious about what’s beyond what’s known.

Maybe that’s why the space program has held such a fascination for me.  What’s out there?  What happens when we step off the planet?  I remember watching the early satellites pass overhead, Echo and Sputnik.  I remember exactly what I was doing when Alan Shepard took his first space flight.  These things pulled us out of our ‘normal’ reality into the realm of huge possibilities.  Years later I watched with bated breath as the first man stepped onto the surface of the Moon.  I’m still excited by the memory of that moment.

How often do we get to witness something that takes us far beyond our daily existence?  What are the possibilities that we miss because we have narrowed down our view of Life?

When we limit ourselves to what is known, to what is commonly believed, to what someone else tells us to believe, we narrow the field of possibilities to a very small field.  As long as we stay open and curious, the field of all possibilities stays vast.  What if our beliefs were narrowly based on someone else’s narrow beliefs?  How do we stretch our field of view?

The first thing we must do is stretch out of our comfort zone and into the space where all things are possible.  It is a conscious choice we make in every moment to cling to old beliefs.  Yes, it is conscious, because we are always at a point where we can choose to believe something different from our current beliefs.  New information, new feedback from an experience, someone else’s experience shared with us, and dozens of other ways can open us to a shift in perspective.  But we must be willing to look through different eyes.

The next thing to do is to open our minds to accept that change is a constant in our lives and that change can bring with it fresh new concepts to ponder.  The more we try to hold onto old ways the more our lives stagnate and become less and less about growth and expansion and more and more about holding onto something that is going to change anyway.  The energy that it takes to cling to outmoded ideas drains our creativity from us and leaves us far behind where exploration and curiosity can take us.  This does not serve the expansion of human consciousness.

So each individual has a responsibility to all of humankind to explore ideas with a willingness to accept that their thinking might need to shift after that exploration. Think of yourself as an explorer of worlds beyond the imagination of the explorers of days gone by.  Columbus, De Gama, Vespucci were exploring the physical world of Planet Earth beyond what was known in their day.  We, in the 21st Century, have the opportunity to explore the world of ideas, of inner spaces, and of Outer Space.

How exciting it all is!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Exploring Human Consciousness

March 1, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

The world is rapidly moving forward, away from old ideas and ideals.  The people who are spearheading this forward motion are the spiritual leaders of Planet Earth.  Don’t be misled into believing that politicians and corporations and business leaders are the ones who are propelling humanity forward.  No, it is the spiritual leaders who are assisting humanity in its evolutionary course toward enlightenment.

Let us make it clear that we are not speaking of the religious leaders of the times.  Those who are speaking out for religions are too invested in advancing their agendas that depend upon the tenets and creeds of those religions to be a part of an ‘enlightenment movement’ within humanity.  They are offering their beliefs which might be appropriate for them but they are not universally appropriate.  For some people, they are being led into accepting beliefs from these leaders that do not apply to their Soul Purpose but they don’t know how to extricate themselves from their religious group.  Others are feeling drawn to examine the path of a different religion but are compelled for social or political reasons not to explore.  Some religious leaders are urging their followers to explore and expand their awareness but too many are narrow in their beliefs and believe that they must convince others to believe as they do.

Human consciousness is not expanded by those who hold strongly to a set of beliefs to the exclusion of others or even to the possibility that there might be some validity to conflicting beliefs.  This is true in many 21st Century religions.  There are also political and cultural groups that do not support the individual in exploring ideas outside of the ones offered by that group.  This, too, does not expand human consciousness.

What does expand consciousness is exploring ideas that are beyond what one understands in the moment.  The possibility that long-held beliefs might be supplanted by newer/other ideas allows a person to explore, to consider an awareness beyond the accepted, the familiar, even the currently approved ideas of one’s group.  Being ever open to the exploration of ideas invites expansion of consciousness because one can tap into resources beyond the limited ones that have been placed in a metaphorical box by those who refuse to continue the exploration.

Consider the teachers who are inviting people to explore within themselves as a frontier with no boundaries.  Contrast that with a teacher or leader who places the individual in a limited space and declares that any ideas outside of that space are not to be considered or tolerated.  Which situation describes one that is purposely moving toward expanded awareness and thus an expansion of consciousness?

Your role as a human being having an experience on Planet Earth is to assist all of humanity in expanding awareness.  Noticing that humankind has an inherent goodness that is waiting to be expressed frees an individual to express their own inner goodness.  It also assists one in observing the connectedness of all peoples of Earth, and allows individuals, communities and nations to accept and honor the differences among those peoples.

Not everyone on Earth at the same time must accept the same beliefs about those things that are beyond the limits of former beliefs.  Some human beings are expanding their awareness beyond what has been accepted in previous centuries.  Innovators, explorers, thinkers and philosophers are pushing the outside limits of human understanding.  They will not always agree on even foundational ideas, but they will all agree that there is much still to be learned and they will, therefore, not shut the door on the possibilities that exist.

The spiritual leaders of your day are the people who understand that there are concepts in the Universe that have not yet been explained on Planet Earth.  And they believe that you might be the one to grasp the next new concept and explain it to others!  They, therefore, support your exploration and the expansion of all human consciousness.

Be the explorer you were called to Earth to be!

And so it is.
