MUSE-INGS: 2012:The Answers

There is so much being hyped about 2012 that sometimes it is difficult to know what it is all about!  Should we worry about December 21, 2012 or should we ignore it?  Is there another date coming up in later years that will bring Armageddon or worse?  And what would happen if the world ended?

Actually, I suppose we wouldn’t have to worry about anything if the world ended in 2012!  But I don’t think that is what we are being prepared for.

The 2012 date has attracted a lot of attention because so many calendar cycles ‘restart’ at that point and it has been 26,000 years since the calendar cycles have coincided like this.  Doesn’t a lot of the fear indicate that our construct of linear time has created the illusion that time can only progress in a straight line from today through tomorrow to the next day?  I think looking at calendar cycles helps us to understand that most cultures have understood that there are cycles, that time does not actually create a straight line but that it bends as its own dimension.  [I hope I am not getting too mathematical here!]  We seem to have no trouble flipping the calendar page from April to May every year but for some this convergence of calendar cycles happening in 2012 seems to be more frightening than our common understanding of the 1-year calendars hanging in all our kitchens and offices.

Let’s forget that someone made a disaster movie with the title ‘2012’ and think about our Life on Planet Earth.

Aren’t we really here on this Planet at this time to learn and to grow and to manifest our Soul Purpose for the good of all on the Planet with us?  That is the purpose of any person’s Life.  Learn and grow and manifest Soul Purpose.  Be the person you incarnated to be.  Period.  End of statement.

Learn and grow and expand the Light Energy that you can carry while you are having a human life.  There are many teachers who can help you learn to ‘ascend’ or create your ‘light body’ and those who have been studying spiritual growth for a long time will know about this work.  But if you are new to these topics, if you are just starting on a path of deep spiritual growth, then do not allow terms like ‘ascension’ or ‘light body’ to scare you away from your growth.

Every day that you are on Planet Earth is an opportunity for you to grow and expand.  When you are focused on personal and spiritual growth you will be drawn to topics that expand the Light within you.  This can be enhanced by meditation and other spiritual practices.  If you have had a practice for many years then this is the time for you to deepen that practice.  If you are just starting out on the path, then choose the practices that work for you and allow someone to guide you, to help you explore for yourself what your beliefs and structures are today.  Find a teacher who can help you with developing your personal spiritual empowerment.

And then focus on expanding the Light that you can anchor on Planet Earth at this time.  2012 [and every year that follows] will take care of itself!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: What do I do about 2012?

Dear Ones,

There are many people who are concerned about the energies approaching Planet Earth for the December 21, 2012 date.  We would like to offer some clarity about this date.

First, the people who are expecting something they refer to as ‘Armageddon’ are confused about the energies they are living in in the present moment and thus are also confused about the future.  They have been told that they will overcome others in this coming battle but they don’t know what they are fighting about.  ‘Armageddon’ is about the death of the little ‘s’ self and the overcoming of the personality by the capital ‘S’ Self.  It really has nothing to do with warfare among humans [or any other beings] on Planet Earth.

So the people who don’t understand about the difference between the self and the Self are easily led into a belief about a battle between good and evil, as defined by some external authority, and they are convinced that they are ‘good’ and will triumph over all others.  This is truly a sad way to go through a human life but many are choosing this belief system during this lifetime.

The energies of 2012 are already extant on Planet Earth in 2010.  People need to know about this as the energies of change are already permeating everyday life for all humans.  Each individual is being called to examine their belief system and to reassess what it is that they believe.  This has been true throughout time on Planet Earth and will continue to be true beyond 2012.  One believes initially what one is told is true.  Then one is told what to believe by parents, schools, society.  When one begins to examine their beliefs as an adult then one can mature and accept or discard that which does not serve them at a given time.

Think of the things you believed as a child that you no longer embrace.  Were you raised in a religion or political party whose tenets you no longer subscribe to?  Do you agree with the views held decades ago by your parents or the society in which you were raised?  If you have been on a path of spiritual and personal growth then you have re-examined your beliefs and have decided consciously to continue to embrace those beliefs or to reject them.

This is what is being called forth today and in the years to come for all humans.  Examine all of your beliefs.  Do they still serve you?  If you have understood the role of the Self in your life then do old beliefs still fit for you?  Have you gained new insights and understandings that inform your choices today that might cause you to change your underlying beliefs?  Sometimes people learn and grow but never examine what they hold to be basic truths and thus build a belief system as a structure around ideas that are no longer valid for them.  However, if they never examine this belief structure they will not realize this discrepancy.

The energies of change that are on the Planet today are inviting you to examine that which you believe to be true and to make a conscious decision about what you believe.  Don’t take anyone else’s word for the truth, even ours.  Examine and decide as a being living a Conscious Life what you will and won’t believe.

When you are living a fully Conscious Life you have no need to fear 2012 or any of the coming energies for you will be making conscious decisions on every day of your Life.  This is the important way for one to live without fear.

The people who are in fear of a particular date are succumbing to indoctrination by others.  There is no need to fear.  We wish that these people could open themselves up to that but they, too, are making a choice about what they believe.  Unfortunately, their choice brings them the pain of fear.

Be a Conscious One and you will be able to live beyond the fear!

And so it is.

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

Spring!  I’ve been talking about Spring every week lately but I love the energy of this time of year.  There’s such vibrancy in the air.  Even when it snowed recently it was one of those delicious snows that melts quickly into the grass and brings with it the promise of a green lawn soon.  I’m still waiting for the flowers to start blossoming here in Colorado but have already had a taste of Spring – cherry blossoms, forsythia, daffodils – over Easter in Maryland.  I get to enjoy 2 Springs this year as it will arrive here soon!

I hope you are enjoying the energy where you are.  Are you ‘down under’ and getting ready for Autumn, my other favorite season?  Wherever you live, this is a good time to examine where you are in your life and what changes you feel will support your growth at this time.  Are you ready to release something that no longer serves you?  Are you thinking about making some changes in your work or where you live?  Notice that there is a New Moon on Wednesday April 14th that invites you to spend the first few days of the week getting rid of the old and then inviting in the new with the energies of the New Moon.

This is a great time to go on retreat, literally or figuratively, and hit the pause button on frantic activity so that you can assess where you are currently.  I often have clients schedule sessions at this time of year as a ‘tune-up’ to check in with spiritual guidance about where they are going for the rest of the year and also to work across several sessions to clear the old and gain clarity about the new.  I am offering a special price on 3- or 6-session Breakthrough Packages so contact me if you’d like to get on the schedule to do your internal Spring Cleaning [and you can do it by phone]!

There are still a few spots left for the Conscious Confidence Workshop April 24-25 in Colorado Springs.  This is the work/playshop where you will learn a system for making decisions from a place of confidence and trust in yourself.  Stop living with indecision and second-guessing!  This is for you if you’d like to approach the choices in your life with confidence that you are making the right choice for yourself and those around you.  And we will have a lot of fun!  Register at:

www.RosemaryBredeson.com

Or, call for more information 719-272-7873.

If you’re looking for a fun evening of Conversations with The Other Side then put Wednesday, April 28th on your calendar!  We’re doing another educational and entertaining Conversation and each participant will receive a message of guidance for Life from an angel, a spirit guide, or a loved one who has crossed over to The Other Side.  You don’t have to have a specific person on The Other Side to hear from – join us and get a message from one of many interesting sources!  [We’ve have Stradivarius, John Adams, and Chinese poets arrive with fascinating information!]  Register for this event at:

Have a wonder-full week!

BOOK LIGHTS: from The Law of Attraction is NOT a Secret

“The Law of Attraction truly is a science, whether it is based on physics or metaphysics.  It’s a science based on the energy produced by our thought processes.  It’s been proven that brainwaves produce energy which can be recorded by medical diagnostic equipment.  The energy produced by our brainwaves cause vibrations.  The Law of Attraction could also be called the Law of Vibration, since they are both founded on positive or negative energy or vibrations.”

by Anita G. Wheeler

The more we understand about the vibrations of our thoughts the more conscious we need to become about what we are thinking.  The Law of Attraction works no matter what we believe, so we might as well think about what we WANT to attract!

MUSE-INGS: Choose to Think Thoughts Filled with Light

Where is the source of your latest thought?

Sometimes I find I am scattered and my thoughts come from everywhere.  Often I follow one then get sidetracked by the next stimulus and go off on a tangent.  The trouble with that is I can quickly forget where I was going in the first place!

It seems that hitting the ‘pause button of my mind’ is the skill that I need to exercise the most. I stop, breathe, then breathe again, and clarity returns.

I am aware that many thoughts seem to pop into my head from somewhere outside.  Sometimes it’s even my mother, a wonderful woman who has been on The Other Side for over 10 years!  But that voice can help me see what I am looking at through new eyes. Sometimes it is an old tape that is playing in my head and I have to catch myself as an observer to notice that that tape no longer has relevance in my life.  It seems to be so easy to cling to the old ways of thinking because they are automatic, a knee-jerk response to a stimulus.

But once you have decided to live a Conscious Life you must catch yourself in EVERY knee-jerk response. The question to ask is, ‘What is the source of this thought?’  If the answer is that you have considered many options and at this time you have chosen consciously to believe something, then stay with that thought and follow it. If, however, you answer that the thought came from your childhood or your friend at work or from a discussion with a neighbor then reassess its value in your current life.  Why would you spend time and brainpower following a thought that comes from a past prejudice that was instilled in you by someone who hadn’t had the opportunity to examine and discard that prejudice?  Why would you adopt a contracting thought, one that makes you feel smaller rather than expanded, just because someone at work planted that thought or reaction in your mind?

Living a Conscious Life asks you to bring forward your thoughts into the Light and to examine them. There is a quality to thoughts called their ‘Light Content.’  Thoughts that have a high Light Content feel expansive, take you outside of your small ‘s’ self and into the realm of the capital ‘S’ Self.  When you spend time with high Light Content thoughts you will feel yourself touching the world of creativity, of acceptance, of connection.

On the other hand, thoughts of little Light Content feel darker, heavier, more contracting and very personal, without room for others to fit into the thoughts.  Sometimes these thoughts are old thought forms that no longer serve in the 21st Century but are still being held by those who choose not to grow.  These will not serve you in your path of personal and spiritual growth.  Learn to recognize them when they cross your path and choose to move forward, discarding their heavy energy.

Choose to think thoughts that are filled with Light.  Choose to hold onto beliefs that serve your growth into expanded Light.  You are always at the point of choice.  Choose growth.  And enjoy the Light!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are Your Thoughts Filled with Light?

Dear Ones,

Please remember that you are all connected to one another. No decision that you make can be made in isolation.  No word that you speak can stay in your own orb, your own space.  And, likewise, no thought that you have or express can stay with you – it reverberates immediately throughout the Universe.

Every thought that comes to you has a source, a space in which it was formed.  That thought in your mind can come from one of myriad sources but the most prevalent source for most thoughts is in your own mind, the place that is formed from your experiences and from what you have been taught is true.  Are you aware of this fact?  Every experience that you have ever had is contained in your mind and shapes the thoughts that you hold onto.  If you were raised in a household where people were prejudiced against another group or other groups you might not even recognize that prejudice within yourself even when someone else points it out to you.  If you were raised to believe that a certain religion is the only true religion and the God that you were told to believe in is the one true God then you might not listen with an open heart when someone expresses information that contradicts that belief.  If you were raised to believe that science holds true in all cases and that, if it can’t be proven according to the current methods of science, then it must not be true, then it is probably difficult for you to conceive of the ideas of meta-physics which is ‘beyond physics.’

What are some other sources of the thoughts that you have?  They could be stimulated by a passing glance at something that triggers a thought. For example, you might see a sign with a picture of someone drinking milk and remember that you need to buy milk on your way home.  Or someone could say something to you that triggers a response.  These responses come from a place inside you where your previous experiences and your current reality intersect.

When you encounter a new idea that is presented by someone else, in a book or conversation, for example, you might weigh that idea and have reactions to it or decide to embrace that idea as a belief for yourself.  You must first be open to the concept that you do not already know everything for this to happen, however!

Creative thought comes through your connection to the All, to the Cloud of Knowable Things, to the Source within the Universe.  New ideas, or ideas that might be new to you, are available at all times through this connection to Source.  How often do you connect in this way?

To make this connection you must first purify the channel of your mind by examining how invested you are in the ideas/thoughts that you have held dear for most of your life.  Do you believe that some of your own ideas about how the world works might have been formed in error or with less than full knowledge about the workings of the Universe?  Do you understand that your parents and schoolmates and the culture and society and religion [or no religion] in which you grew up have formed not only your thoughts but also the way you approach new thoughts?  Until you have examined the source of your own thoughts you will struggle to be really creative and to connect to expanded thinking.

Learn about yourself by being in a curious state.  Wonder about the root of your current beliefs.  Are they truly your own or did they come from another source?  Are you, as an adult, still believing ideas that you embraced as a little child and are those ideas still valid for you?

When you have done the self-examination described here then you will be able to consider thoughts that come from Creative Source.  It is very difficult to explore new ideas when you are wedded to that which is formed in concrete within your own mind.  Break up that concrete and become a curious explorer, looking in wonder at your own ideas and the thoughts that originate elsewhere.  Breathe into a quiet mind and find that connection that allows you to receive new thoughts for consideration.  Explore with wonder and you will find there is much to learn.  Enjoy the journey!

And so it is.

Happy Spring holidays/holy days!  Whatever you celebrate there is a sense of new life around when there are flowers in bloom and blue skies with sunshine to kiss you!  We’re in Annapolis, Maryland to celebrate Easter with the MD family and the grandkids.  It was fun being in LA at the beginning of the week and then flying over home in Colorado to arrive in Maryland for the holiday.  I hear there’s to be snow at home but it’s warm where we are so I’m happy today.

Richard and I attended the ‘Rejuvenate Your Practice’ seminar over the weekend and met some amazing holistic practitioners who are also learning ‘heartselling’ instead of ‘hard selling’ to bring their services to more people.  We’re excited about learning these techniques to help even more folks learn to manifest their inner greatness to the world and to live Conscious Lives.  Of course, it’s always wonderful to visit Southern California in the springtime!

We’re getting ready for the ‘Conscious Confidence Workshop’ that we’re offering in Colorado Springs April 24-25.  Join us for a fun-filled educational weekend where you will learn to clear any blocks to making decisions and will gain confidence in your approach to determining the next step in your life.  Have you ever been confused about what you should do in a situation?  Have you made a decision and then agonized over whether you made the right decision?

BOOK LIGHTS: Margaret Mead quoted in “The Smart Women’s Book of Powerful Quotations”

“Because of their age-long training in human relations – for that is what feminine intuition really is – women have a special contribution to make to any group enterprise.”

Sheri McConnell

I believe it is the women who will lead the way into discourse with respect and receptivity.  It is up to us, the women of the 21st Century, to model the art of civil conversation for the world and especially for the children.

Rosemary

MUSE-INGS: Be the Example of Good Conversation Skills

Conversations.  Dialogue.  Words to consider.  Sometimes a topic or an issue can be such a polarizing subject that people shy away from having a discussion.  Perhaps it is time for reviving the practice of dialogue, where we learn to discuss a topic even while disagreeing.

It used to be that civility required that one not attack a person for the ideas that they held.  Ideas could be discussed, even debated, without the debate becoming a personal attack.  Some people are forgetting that.  In drawing rooms of old people sought out others to listen to the information being discussed and to proffer opinions but to genuinely listen with openness to what was being offered by others.  We don’t seem to be teaching the children of today about this art of conversation.

On television, they see a point/counterpoint discussion of people yelling at each other and interrupting.  School debate teams might be more civilized but they imply that there are only two sides to each issue.  What about the gray areas?  What about a third perspective or the middle ground?  Why must every discussion become a debate in the form of right/wrong and ‘I’m right and you’re wrong’?  How will our children grow up to be good conversationalists and to learn to really listen to what others are saying when they aren’t seeing it modeled in the society around them?

Too many families are too busy to have dinner around the table so that the art of conversation can be practiced.  It is as small children sitting with the family that people learn to model conversations.  Learning to wait one’s turn before speaking, to really listen to another rather than be thinking of the next thing to say are qualities that one must be taught, preferably by example.  Talking about an idea, a topic of interest, and learning how to respect another’s opinion even when it differs from one’s own, are important skills to learn as a young person.

Several years ago I was picking up my grandchildren from their elementary school and was shocked to hear the tone of voice being used to address teachers as well as other students.  The tone did not convey respect and I heard it over and over again.  Parents have a difficult time training their children to show respect in their speech when for many hours a day a different attitude becomes the norm.  But it is worth the effort for parents to teach their children how to listen and how to speak to be heard.

Every discussion in which one participates requires that one consider the feelings of the other person with respect.  Whether that other person is a dear friend, a family member or a stranger in a store makes no difference. They deserve respect and honor.  And so do you.  Don’t let others talk to you with a lack of respect.  Your ideas are worthy of discussion and you deserve to be listened to.  The best way to receive this kind of treatment is to model it.  Pay attention to the energy in your conversations and notice how you feel when you are talking with others.  Do some make you feel comfortable and heard?  Or do they make you feel small, dismissed, or ignorant?  Consider this when you decide where to spend your time.  Actively seek out those who help you to expand your horizons while respecting you and your ideas.  Be the person in the conversation who is always elevating it to the plane of higher consciousness.  You will feel good and others will, too!
