Dear Ones,
People are gathering. Are you noticing this? People are gathering with those who think the way they do. They are not gathering to discuss ideas and issues. They are gathering to fuel their emotions by listening to others who think as they do, with the same open-mindedness or closed-mindedness that they embrace.
But there are some who are finding their Tribes. They are finding those who also wish to uplift the World. Those who are feeling called to assist all of humanity in growing, in evolving, are looking for others who feel a mission to do the same. These are the groups who are gaining power in the World.
The media reports on the groups that are the most vocal, the most emotional. Many media outlets, especially in the Western part of the World, are fueling this emotionalism by carefully determining what they will and won’t share with their audiences, picking and choosing so-called ‘facts’ and ignoring truth. Some countries have always had government-controlled information channels but more countries are operating that way in this time.
What does this mean to you as you attempt to live a Conscious Life? Here is what we would say to you.
Be very careful about what information, images, thoughts and ideas you embrace. We are not saying you need to believe this person or that, but you must decide for yourself where your truth is in a given moment. Can you be a solid rock in a moving stream of information and mis-information? Can you at the same time be an open-minded individual who is willing to examine new information and, possibly, change your position if the information leads you to do so?
Those who hold fast to ideas that may have been true for them in the past, even when current evidence indicates that those ideas are no longer valid, are the people who are refusing to evolve and to grow. The others, however, who continue to explore new ideas, may or may not change their beliefs as a result of that exploration but they are open to the possibility. The latter are the ones who carry humanity forward to expanded awareness and evolved consciousness.
Let us look at what this means in your daily life. If you are someone who has a difficult time letting go of old patterns and beliefs, do you limit your contacts to those who will support your non-growth? Are you still socializing with people who behave the way you did in high school even though their behavior often embarrasses you? Are you staying in relationships that do not help you to grow because they are familiar, even if not comfortable? Do you shut down when someone around you expresses an opinion that does not agree with yours? And, when that happens, do you make the discussion a personal attack rather than a discussion of ideas, impersonally evaluated?
None of these choices supports you in your personal journey toward fulfillment in your life. Why choose to stay ‘stuck’ when you have the option to grow into more Light?
The path of personal growth demands that each individual continually seek enlightenment, that is, a growing Light within that reflects expansion of consciousness. Everything that happens is an opportunity to learn something that can expand your Inner Light. Are you willing to seek that? Are you willing to examine the ideas you hold, consciously or unconsciously, and determine if they are appropriate for you today? Are you willing to grow rather than to stagnate?
You are always at a point of choice in your Life. You can choose to continue to believe what you have always believed or you can change those beliefs. You can choose to hold the same thoughts about yourself or you can change the thoughts you embrace. And you can choose to look around you for the lessons in the present moment or you can shut down and move sightlessly through your moments. The choice is always yours.
We hope you will choose to look for the Light in every situation, to look for the path of growth, and to be willing to expand your awareness to examine new ideas, new thoughts, new beliefs and to embrace the new beliefs if they resonate with your own Inner Light.
And so it is.

Choice is so empowering! Great post Rosemary. I like how you stated that “Everything that happens is an opportunity to learn something that can expand your Inner Light.” Opportunities are everywhere!

Rosemary,
It’s so important to look closely at what truly serves us mentally, spiritually, physically and especially in the sense of community. It’s important to foster interactions with people who lift us up instead of bringing us down. 🙂
Write on!~

This is a beautiful post and a great reminder to stay in touch with our inner goddesses and divine wisdom (and hopefully not get from a drive thru.)
Love & Health,

We’re always being called towards our own evolution, the more we listen the more we flow. The more we resist the more we struggle.

so true, Laura!

Beautiful, Rosemary! I especially love the way you wrap it up: “look for the Light in every situation, to look for the path of growth, and to be willing to expand your awareness to examine new ideas, new thoughts, new beliefs and to embrace the new beliefs if they resonate with your own Inner Light.” YES! XO, Katherine.

Thanks, Jennifer! Seems the lessons for all of us are coming in at a rapid pace, but we’ll miss them if we don’t know the opportunities are there.
Blessings and Love,

You’re right, Kiyla. And the operative thoughts are about being open to changing.
Love you!

Rosemary,
Great words of wisdom. If we keep our hearts open and receptive we can accept everything God has for us.
