I’m reminded of John Lennon’s song, ‘Imagine.’ If we can imagine it, we can energize the thought and we can bring it into existence. Try humming ‘Imagine’ to yourself next time you are shifting the energy of your magnet!

MUSE-INGS: The Magnet is the Picture You Think

This message is certainly timely for me! So many times I find myself spiraling down into thoughts and worries and then pulling myself back up using tools for Conscious Living. Yes, even those of us who teach this must constantly remind ourselves to use the tools we teach!

It does become easier with practice and we catch ourselves much earlier than we used to, but it still is a knee-jerk, human reaction to start thinking about what could be wrong or what needs to be fixed or what is not going the way we want it to go. The most important tool to use is Awareness.

How aware are you of the thoughts that you have? You can think or speak or tell your story without being aware of the energy of your thoughts. You’re just sharing the story, right? You’re just reporting the facts, right? You’re just trying to figure out the solutions, right?

Well, maybe you need to adjust your thinking about all that. Every time you tell a story of your woes you are traveling back into the thoughts that attracted that woe into your life. This is not to blame you for something or to say you are wrong but to show you how focusing on the story of the problem energizes keeping that problem in your life.

But what if you were to talk about possible solutions instead? If you feel the need to discuss a situation with someone, talk from the energy of seeking solutions, not of getting commiseration about ‘poor you.’ Train yourself to notice when you are thinking about a problem and spiraling downward into the depths of that problem instead of pulling yourself up above the problem to seek a solution. Follow the thought into the set of possible solutions rather than into the depths of the problem, for the light is shining in the solutions not the problems.

When you share something with others, be open to their helping you to see possibilities rather than woes. Allow the energy of the sharing to lift your own energy into problem-solving rather than sympathy seeking.

This is how you shift your own energetic electromagnet so that your beacon into the Universe can attract what you want instead of energizing what you don’t want.

Awareness is key. What are my thoughts sending out? Picture your mind creating a picture of something with every thought. Neuo-Linguistic Programming [NLP] is one of the techniques that I use when working with clients and NLP teaches that, in order to make sense of a thought or statement your mind must first make a picture of that statement. So ‘I don’t want to be sad’ creates a picture of you in a sad state. That picture in your mind sends out the energy of sadness. And in creating this picture your unconscious mind has to ignore the ‘don’t want’ part of the statement. The picture becomes the energy which becomes the magnet.

Be aware of your magnetic beacon. This beacon is at work at all times. Create the pictures that you WANT to have beamed out into the Universe. And you do this by taking charge of your thoughts.

Create beautiful pictures this week!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What’s Your Magnet Attracting?”

Dear Ones,

What are the energies that you are putting out into the Universe to attract to you what is happening in your life? Do you worry about money? Do you fret about relationships? Are you stuck in a place that is uncomfortable and focusing on that discomfort?

Think of yourself as a beacon in the darkness. Whatever energy you generate with your mind becomes the energetic electromagnetic beam that radiates outward from you. As a beacon you are sending this magnetic beam out into the Universe inviting like energies to attach to the beam. What are you attracting?

Some people discount what is called ‘The Law of Attraction’ but this is a law of the Universe, whether you believe in it or not. Just as the Law of Gravity works on Planet Earth whether you understand how it works or not. We are teaching you that the Law of Attraction is at work in your life right now, no matter what you think about the Law.

Because you are a thinking individual your thoughts are energetically charged at all times. You are creating magnets with every thought. What were you thinking about just before your started reading this? Was it attracting what you want in your life or what you don’t want? When you become conscious of yourself as a beacon into the vast Universe inviting into your life whatever the energy of your thoughts attract, then you can see what is playing out in your life as a manifestation of previous thoughts.

Even if you don’t remember ‘asking’ [or attracting] what you have, you can probably remember thinking about it. Now, we are not criticizing you for the thoughts that you have had in the past, for you were learning about how the Universe works. You might have implanted beliefs and thought patterns from decades ago, or borrowed from your parents and ancestors, that you didn’t even know that you had accepted. But the fact that your thoughts from the past have created patterns in your present life does not mean that you cannot change those patterns NOW.

This is what you are called to do. Examine your thoughts, your beliefs, in light of what you are learning about living a Conscious Life. Can you identify patterns that are not supporting your personal growth? Do you have situations in your life that you must examine for what you can change about your thinking about those situations?

For example, are you worrying about something and not seeing what there is for you to do about that situation? Perhaps the place to start is to get control of your thoughts about the situation. Every time that your worry surfaces, shift to considering one action you can take away from that worry. This is not to say that you must escape into fantasy rather than face front on what is going on, but rather that you can think of one aspect of that situation over which you have enough control to take one action. Look for one benefit that you receive from that situation. This might be very small or seemingly insignificant, but what is the one benefit you can think of that you have derived or are deriving from being in that situation? Now feel grateful for that one benefit.

Gratitude will move you forward into finding solutions. The energy of Gratitude, when it creates the magnet of your beacon into the Universe, attracts to you more opportunities to feel Gratitude.

And if you cannot find one benefit in your present situation? Then be grateful for the knowledge that you are perceptive enough to know that you must take steps to change the situation. Again, let your beacon contain a different energy than judgment or frustration or disappointment or anger and you will attract different energies into your life.

Try this today with something that is troubling you. You will see a difference. Be gentle with yourself and practice being a Conscious Beacon so that what you attract is what you really want.

And so it is.

“All professions, all work, all activity in the human world finds its essential meaning in the context of the cosmic story.”

YOU are an important part of the unfolding cosmic story. YOU have a purpose in being on Planet Earth at this time. Isn’t it time you worked with that purpose and shared it with the rest of us? We all have a place and a ‘meaning in the context of the cosmic story.’ Through learning our Life Purpose and then living it, we take our place in this emerging saga. Pretty important, right?

MUSE-INGS: Joe Sixpack? 2 by 4s? or Living a Conscious Life?

‘Self-Realization’ may seem like a highly abstract term but is truly the purpose of living a human life. Our inner Self is seeking expression in the outer world in which we find our self living. At a very deep unconscious level our being is looking for ways to find meaning and purpose in our life and it is the capital ‘S’ Self that is answering the quest.

Have you ever wondered why you were born? What is it that you are to manifest on the Earth plane that was never there before? What yearning in your spirit is seeking an outlet?

Some of us occasionally consider these questions but daily living gets in the way of pursuing the answers. Sometimes we are busy surviving the day or the month or the bills or the job and pondering philosophical questions seems like a luxury we can’t afford. The truth is that we cannot afford NOT to ponder these questions, for this is what makes us an evolving species, deepening our consciousness and awareness so that subsequent humans can learn from us and continue to develop their awareness.

I’ve never thought that my beloved dog, Tara, wonders why she is here on Planet Earth. That doesn’t mean that she is not conscious for she is definitely an aware being. She follows her instincts and develops her talents and modifies her behaviors when she learns what gains her what she seeks [almost always that is a treat!]. But Tara seems to be on the planet and in our lives to give us unconditional love. And, as a temple dog Lhasa Apso, to protect us by warning when danger or perceived danger is near. That’s it. Pretty simple. She knows what she’s here for so she doesn’t spend much time pondering who she is.

Have you discovered your ‘Big Why’? That seems to be a first step in manifesting your purpose on the planet. Who did you come here to be? These are essential questions to living a Conscious Life.

Remember the old stereotype of ‘Joe Sixpack’ who goes to work, comes home, sits in front of the TV wearing only a tee shirt and drinking a sixpack of beer? I’ve never really met a ‘Joe Sixpack’ but it’s a great metaphor for living an unconscious life. Work, sit, drink in what someone is feeding you [mentally] and drink in a numbing substance so you don’t have to feel your life.

Reaching for Self-Realization asks you to live a different kind of life from the one Joe is living. Do what it takes to discover your purpose and your Big Why. Modify your lifestyle so that you can manifest that purpose in the outer world. Live fully present in each moment as the ‘who’ you came here to be.

Do you need help discovering your purpose or your Big Why? Seek that help. Do you feel you know but you haven’t figured out how to make that happen in your life? Get some help with this, too.

Time is speeding up so rapidly in these times that we no longer have the luxury of being Joe Sixpacks in our lives. If you are receiving this message then you are ready to live a Conscious Life. You are ready to move ahead in the direction of Self-Realization. Follow the steps as outlined in the Mystic Message. Be conscious at all times of what opportunities for growth exist in the present moment.

In the teachings of the gurus, achieving Self-Realization in this lifetime means that you don’t have to come back to live again unless you choose to do so to help others along the path. But I believe that living the Joe Sixpack life requires you to come back with another chance at getting conscious, which means having to learn all those lessons over again.

My choice? I’m getting those lessons over with this lifetime so I don’t have to have any do-overs! And I also try to live a Conscious Life so that I am always asking, ‘What is the lesson in this for me?’ I’m trying to avoid those 2 by 4s that the Universe uses to get our attention.

Join me in living a Conscious Life and consciously avoiding 2 by 4s!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What IS Self-Realization?”

Dear Ones,

Self-Realization is the manifestation of the greatest potential of an individual human being on Planet Earth. The Self-Realized person LIVES as the Soul. Their Personality has surrendered to the Soul in all things.

The journey to Self-Realization is a long one – lifetimes of Conscious Living. But in the 21st Century there are many who are on this journey and who are helping others along the way.

How do you know if you have achieved Self-Realization? There is no question, Dear Ones, for you will know.

As Self-Realization becomes a clear goal for you, there are several steps you must take to move closer to that goal.

The first is a strong commitment to living a Conscious Life. You must be aware of what you are doing, thinking and believing at all times. You must be conscious of where your own issues lie – what ‘blind spots’ do you have? What do you not know, or not admit, that you don’t know? What choices are you making in your Life and do they come from a clear connection to your Soul?

The second is to develop a strong connection to and trust in your own intuition. Are you being guided by others without testing that guidance against your own inner wisdom? Or are you always pausing to listen to your inner voice before you choose which action to take? Do you receive intuitive messages but then question whether you can trust them or analyze your way out of following the guidance?

The next step is to regularly disconnect from the outer world so that you can clear your thoughts and energies from the pollution of the world around you. Start each day with meditation, a check-in with your inner guidance, about your day. Do not make this check-in just about what you are to DO but ask who you are to BE. When you give yourself permission to break away from the energies of the outer world, even for a short period, you enhance your Soul connection and move in the direction of Self-Realization.

It is also important that you have some time for creative expression each day, for expressing yourself creatively is how you channel Divine Energy into the world around you. This does not mean that you must spend all day painting or composing music, but it does mean that you are to find a way to create something new each day – ideas, systems, food dishes, relationships, expressions of your feelings, thoughts, beliefs. Allow each day to draw from you something creative and you will be moving in the direction of Self-Realization.

And, finally, you must be an active participant in your Spiritual Journey. You must input uplifting thoughts, ideas, music, activities so that you are keeping your vibrational level at the energy of the Soul, working to avoid the darkness of low energy vibrations. For some this means eschewing activities or relationships that are not spiritually uplifting. For some this may mean moving away from a dark city, to some other place in the world that has more Light.

Ultimately every choice in Life must be for the Light and away from the darkness. When this is achieved, a person becomes one with the Light and is Self-Realized.

And so it is.

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

After our wonderful blessing with Sri Karunamayi – Amma – last week we are ready to move and to move forward. I hope you have the opportunity someday to experience her unconditional love. Pictured here with her is one of the houses she is building in India for the poor and displaced. To honor our 25th wedding anniversary, we and some of our friends donated funds to build one of these houses.

Are you ready for the July 1 New Moon/Partial Solar Eclipse? From the research I am doing this is the beginning of a New Era, a time to shed the old and bring in the new. Hurray!

How in your life do you want to do this? Richard and I are continuing to go through our old stuff, sometimes with emotions of nostalgia, sadness, laughter and sometimes with neutrality [as in “Throw it out!”] We are preparing to leave behind a beautiful house in Colorado and find a new home in California. I’ve talked to others who are seeking shifts in their careers, shifts in their relationships, the lesson of saying ‘no’ when they need to. My sister retired. Multiple friends and family members are looking for jobs. There’s an air of change in our lives.

So what information do you need to make the changes you seek? Some of my clients aren’t sure what they don’t know that they don’t know. Are you like they are? Because so many of us are in transition and need to know the next step to take, I’ve decided to offer Scientific Hand Analysis readings to my ezine subscribers so that you can learn what the Universe gave you in a dermatological message to you at your birth. Your fingerprints don’t change but the lines in your palm can. Over decades of research a scientific system of analyzing palms and fingertips has been developed and I have been studying this system for some time now.

If you would like to know your Life Purpose, the reason you incarnated, the message is in those hands of yours. Let me help you decipher that message, with a little guidance from your angels and spirit guides to help you along the way. Check out this info if you’d like to get the answers to the ‘Why am I here?’ question:Click Here. The special discount code for you to receive $100 off this reading is: EZINE.

And if someone forwarded this ezine issue to you, we’d love to have you join RosemarySpace by signing up to receive your own copy and also get a relaxation meditation audio to download, at: www.FreeRelaxationMeditation.com

Hope this eclipse starts a great period of personal growth and Summer fun for you! As we in the US celebrate Independence Day on July 4th, grant yourself independence from the indecisions that are holding you back. Decide on your next step!
