THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Reach for the Joy!

June 14, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Be joyful today!  Fill your heart and your life with Joy!

Are you concerned that you are not feeling very joyous today?  Are you thinking about your problems or all the issues with which you are wrestling?  Is your ‘to-do’ list taking over your day?

We would tell you that Joy is not something that happens to you.  Joy is not what you feel when everything in your life is going smoothly or going your way.  Completing your ‘to-do’ list does not bring Joy into your life.  YOU bring Joy into your life!

Think about that last sentence.  Joy is not an accident, so you must bring Joy into your own life.  Please do not equate Joy with Happiness for they are not the same.  Happy, sad – these are reactions to what is happening to you or to the circumstances in which you find yourself.  Joy is a sense within yourself that you are connected to the Source of all Love in the Universe, that your Life Plan is unfolding as it should, and that you are connected with your Life Purpose and are living in consonance with this.  Joy resides within you and is always available to you although, at times, you might forget its existence.

Seek Joy because you wish to express it in your outer life.  Find the Joy that is available to you.  And to do this you must first learn to go inside yourself.

Many people fear reaching into their innermost regions because they are afraid of what they will find there.  It is easy to create such a busy life that there is no time to go inside.  It is easy to focus on other people or work or tasks to accomplish before taking the time to do what is called ‘inner work.’  But we would tell you to ask yourself if all the ‘busyness’ is a distraction from your real work.  Ask yourself if you are using other people or work or tasks on your ‘to-do’ list to avoid going inside yourself to do the work required for your own growth.  If you are honest with yourself and you realize that you have been avoiding ‘inner work’ then now is the time to commit to yourself that you will make the time to do it.

For the reward is Joy.  Are you afraid to experience the pain of processing emotionally distressing events from your past?  Are you worried that doing ‘inner work’ will open a floodgate of emotion that you are ill-prepared to handle?  You do not need to do this work alone.  There are others who can assist you on the inner journey to Joy.  And not all processes/techniques require that you feel again the emotions that are within.  Use those emotions as signals that there is something for you to learn and learn the lesson.  The necessity for the emotion then goes away.

Try meditation as a way to go inside to find Joy for your life.  Some are afraid that meditation is a difficult thing to learn or that they are not doing it correctly.  Meditation can be simply stilling an analytical mind long enough to allow a connection to one’s inner being without the distraction of active thinking.  A set of slow breaths can be a meditation.  This does not need to be a formal practice nor does it need to take a long time.  But the benefits of a break in your day to connect with the Inner You can be great.

When you are forgetting that there is Joy deep within you, it might seem more difficult for you to work to access that Joy, but the important thing to remember is that you do not need to seek Joy from an external source.  Joy does not come through substances, people, circumstances, money or success.  Joy does not come and go with the vagaries of daily activity.  Joy is a solid constant within you and all you need to do is to remember that it lives within and that you can always have access to Joy.  Reach inside to find the Joy that lives there.  No matter what is happening in your day, pause and reach for Joy.  Remember that you are always connected to the Source of Love in the Universe.  Remember the connection, reach inside and find the Joy.

May your day be filled with the Joy that awaits you!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE: What’s on your to-do list?

June 7, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

How many items are on your to-do list at this time?  Do you have the items prioritized?  And what do you consider the most important item on the list – something for your work, your family, your finances?  Or your spiritual development?

Let us suggest that you consider your spiritual development as foundational to all your other values and priorities.  When you think about your work, do you think about it as something separate from who you are as a spiritual person?  It is not separate.  You are first and foremost a spiritual being having a physical lifetime on Planet Earth and your work FOLLOWS from this – it is not the other way around.  Furthermore, your spiritual work IS your work, so you really cannot separate the two.

Many of you reading this will think that we are talking about religion here but that is not so.  It matters not which religion, if any, that you choose to practice.  Your being a spiritual person is more about the eternal, timeless you than about what you do [religion].  Think of the essence of yourself as being the spiritual you.  You are timeless, eternal.  You are greater than any of the circumstances in your life at the present time.  You are greater than the people who surround you, who like you, love you, don’t like you, help you, hurt you, ignore you.  You are also greater than the job that you perform in the world.  Your work in the world is to further your personal growth, to expand the consciousness of the spiritual being that you are in your essence.

All of your other priorities flow from this work of personal growth.  The more you work on yourself, the more you are able to help others to do so.  A person who does not do this personal work cannot offer support to others who are doing so.  Have you ever met someone who is so self-absorbed that they cannot hear you and what you are saying to them because they are focused only on how they feel, what they want or what they think/believe?  These people are not living a Conscious Life.  They are not on a path of personal spiritual growth, and they cannot help you on your path.  If you are connected to someone like this ask yourself if this person is assisting you in growing or if your association is hindering you in your own growth.  Your growth in consciousness needs to be your top priority.

Can you see whatever your work in the world might be at this time as an expression of your own personal spiritual growth?  It does not matter if you are working in an office with a lot of other people or working alone at home.  Perhaps your job is one that you hope one day to leave but, for some reason, you are still in that job.  Consider that you might be there because the circumstances or the people are offering you a laboratory, a classroom, in which you can learn lessons vital to your personal growth.  You might also be the vehicle through which others are learning their own lessons.

If you love your work, are you helping others because of your own spiritual growth?  Are others helping you to progress?  If your work is fulfilling, is it because it causes you to feel expanded, to feel your own growth through that work?  And if it is not fulfilling, what aspect is missing?  Could it be that you feel stagnant, that you cannot grow in this situation?

When you look at your family, are they supportive of your personal growth, the expansion of your consciousness or do you feel restricted by them?  Are you eager to share what you are learning through the lessons in your life or do you fear being rebuffed and thus stay closed-mouth or shut down?

Ask yourself how you feel about focusing your attention on your own spiritual growth.  Are you comfortable making this your number one priority?  Can you see how your work, your family, even your finances, are the result of your work on yourself and are not to be separated into compartments that do not connect with each other?

Now get your priorities arranged so that you can do that number one item on the list.  Focus on your personal growth first and you will be able to prioritize all the other items on the list easily.  Expand your own awareness and you will bring more resources to solving the problems inherent in all the other items on your to-do list.

Remember that you came into this lifetime to learn lessons.  When you focus on learning your own lessons, you increase the resources you have to share with others who are also learning lessons.  Fulfill your goals to expand yourself and all your other goals will be accomplished.  Make sure you do not put your own personal growth work at the bottom of the priority list – just get it done!

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Seven Whispers: Listening to the Voice of Spirit”

June 3, 2010 — Rosemary

“In the coming years, I believe that we in the West will be challenged as never before to look at the question of what we really need and what we have the obligation to offer in order to re-establish balance in the global human family.  We cannot escape the system the world is living in at this time.  We cannot get pure, or self-righteous, or use our spirituality to remove ourselves from the mess we are in.  We can only consider our actions within the circle of reciprocity.”

by Christina Baldwin

‘The circle of reciprocity’ – what a nice way to describe Karma!  Our actions, and those of others, are always occurring within this circle.  Judging or having compassion – for ourselves and for others – those are the choices.  Let us commit to live a Conscious Life by planning to choose compassion!

Rosemary

MUSE-INGS: Compassion and Karma

June 1, 2010 — Rosemary

“I don’t judge people!  Of course, I accept everyone just as they are!”

I know I used to believe that until I really sat myself down and examined the ways in which I really DID do the judging.  A lot of people who think of themselves as ‘spiritual’ find it very easy to decide that they know enough to judge others.  Maybe ‘judge’ seems like too harsh a word, but they do seem to strike the gavel and pronounce others to be good or bad, right or wrong.

I’ve written before about my mantra – Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given moment.  I truly believe that now.  But the hardest person to apply that to – is me.  It was easier to adopt this concept when I was focused on everyone else.  I worked with the idea for years to make sure I was applying it in all cases.  I pondered those times when I really struggled with a particular situation or person to apply this, but it is true for everybody if you look at the grander scheme of things.

In life, there is always a big picture but we are so often focused on the microcosm of our own vision that we forget to step up above the situation and look from the eagle’s perspective.  What else can the eagle see from on high that we, with our limited scope, are missing?  This made it easier to see even those people who were doing heinous acts as the carriers of lessons for others.  And I had to separate the person from the acts.  It doesn’t mean that we ever approve of or even accept one individual hurting another.  But the person who chooses to hurt another is usually making that choice because they see no other choice before them.  We can be unhappy about that choice and do everything in our power to help someone who has been hurt, but are we right to judge other people?  Or is the extent of our purview to examine only the acts, the behaviors, and not the person?

I think this is where we get stuck because it feels so difficult to separate the two.  But if we look at the person as a baby, somehow we can understand that little babies are not born to commit heinous acts against another human being.  Every single infant is lovable because they are breathing the same air that we breathe.  They are embracing life on Planet Earth.  But a lot of things happen to that baby along the way and sometimes their thinking gets twisted.  Somewhere along the way they believe something or are taught something or they respond to some stimulus that sets them on a path that takes them where they might not want to go.  And then they get stuck and see no other way to go.

This is where the concept of compassion steps in.  It is easy to have compassion for a friend who is going through a serious illness or a breakup or a loss.  But how can we have compassion for someone who has chosen to do something we think is wrong?  That is where compassion is most needed, not to coddle someone or to excuse their act, but to look beyond the little scene in front of us and to take the eagle’s view of the situation.  When you begin to understand the Laws of Karma you can see that a person brings a judgment onto himself or herself when they make the decision to act a certain way.  Karma will take care of the consequences.  Karma is merely cause-effect in action.  When I hear people worrying because someone is getting away with something, I think about how no one can escape the Laws of Karma even if it appears that they have.  We might not see the consequence but we can be assured that there are consequences.

And so can we be compassionate about ourselves, too, when we slip up?  Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given moment, even me.  When I learn to look around at my choices as stepping stones along the path of lessons we call ‘Life’ then I can be compassionate with myself as I hope others will be with me.  And I can look upon others with compassion, too!
