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!

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.

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.

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!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are your conversations from a Conscious Perspective?

Dear Ones,

Look around you at the people with whom you surround yourself.  Do they have a positive energy with them?  Do they think of possibilities or do they focus on failures, regrets and what might have been?  What do you speak of with them?  Do you allow the people around you to guide the conversation or do you participate or even steer the conversation to those topics that are uplifting?  Do you consider solutions or do you cut off discussions before solutions can be defined?

Think about the art of conversation and how you participate with others.  Think about the others and the kinds of conversations you have with them, individually and collectively.  Do you feel expanded by the interactions?  Can you see another possibility when you discuss an idea with that person?

It is time to take control of the conversations among people because rhetoric is replacing true exploration.  In many parts of the world people do not engage in conversation because all of their energy is going toward their survival.  The freedom to carry on a conversation goes along with having survival assured in one’s life.  Consider the societies where conversation is an important part of one’s day.  Sitting at the coffee shop or patisserie, around the water cooler in an office, over lunch with friends or colleagues, over a meal at home with the family.  What topics are discussed?  Are they ideas, philosophies, gossip, rants, complaints?

Ideas have a high vibration energy to them, as do philosophies.  When one stays with an idea it can stimulate thinking, mental activity and creativity.  A philosophical discussion can spur one into considering the field of all possibilities, thus expanding the horizons of thought.

The other topics above take one into a lower vibration and cause a contraction of one’s energy, often into an unconscious protective stance.  Gossip about others creates an unconscious fear of being gossiped about oneself.  Complaints cause one to focus on a problem and not on a solution.

You can always take a conversation and turn it into something of higher vibration by gently steering the discussion into higher planes, addressing solutions or ideas or taking a different, higher perspective on the topic.  When someone is mired down in a problem or an issue, it is often up to the other person to offer a perspective from the higher view.  One who is stuck in the energy of the problem may not have the resources to examine all the possibilities for solutions.  This is why it is often advantageous to discuss an issue with another person.

However, discussing an issue does not mean being wedded to the story to the point of staying a victim in the narrative.  Rather, it means allowing the other person to offer suggestions and really listening to those suggestions.

Sometimes you will be the person with the problem and sometimes the one with the solutions.  Are you willing to look at the conversations you have from now on from this perspective?  This is not about judging another person for their views or for getting into a problem situation.  This is your always coming from an open heart that truly wishes to help the other to find peace.

The other side of this is for you to embrace a willingness to really listen to others, to see that they might have another perspective to offer you, and to consider what is being offered.

The kinds of conversations we address here require that neither party devolve to name-calling, judgment, anger/hatred/violence.  We are addressing here conversations between two people who honor each other and who allow each person to have ideas that may differ from one’s own.  These conversations can result in true dialogue and personal growth for both participants.

Decide today that these are the only kinds of conversations you will have.  Decide today that you will minimize time with those who refuse to have these kinds of conversations.  Seek to be the peacemaker, for your own good as well as for those around you.  And solutions you haven’t dreamed of might appear!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Listen to the Children

The children of the 21st Century are amazing beings.  So many, though, really are super-sensitive. I watch our grandchildren struggle with their sensitivities and yet they are truly radiant beings of Light.  I’m sure your children and grandchildren are as well.

What is it that they are here to teach us?  I think the most important thing we can learn from them is an openness, a big heart, an acceptance of themselves and others as they are.  I once heard my granddaughter say that she had been criticized for saying that she sees the fairies.  [She does.]  Her answer was that everyone is special in their own way.  She has a cousin who can talk with wild animals and they are not afraid of her.  That was Makayla’s answer to being criticized.  It represents an understanding that, ‘Just because I am different from you or your understanding of the world does not mean that there is anything wrong with me.’

Of course, she is also a regular kind of tweener, 12 going on 21.  These sensitive kids need our help in making sense of their surroundings.  They arrive on Planet Earth knowing that there are many levels to consciousness and they are not afraid to share what their experiences are.  We, in turn, try to teach them to follow the rules as we understand them.  Could the lesson for us be to re-examine what we thought were the rules?  Bill Maher, in his TV show, “Real Time with Bill Maher”, offers ‘New Rules’ every Friday night.  His are often funny and tongue in cheek, but he always has a reason behind his offerings.  Maybe it is time for us to examine all those things we thought were ‘rules’ and decide anew whether or not they fit the times.

In politics there seem to be two camps of people – those who wish to advance their society with new thought and those who wish to hold onto the old traditions and to fight change.  Oftentimes we seem to get more wrapped up in the arguments than the issues would warrant and we forget to step up above the disagreement to look for long-reaching effects and to use expanded consciousness in our search for solutions.

In every area of 21st Century life there is an opportunity to expand consciousness and step all of humanity up to the next level.  We must learn from the children to be cosmic beings, not citizens of one country or members of a political party, a particular ethnic group, a religious group.  We must step up and look at situations from that cosmic perspective, asking for long-term information about decisions we are considering.  With the energetic changes that are coming, we must fight the tendency to be narrow in our thinking, for we will miss the great things that are approaching if we live within tunnel vision.

Expand your views.  Open your horizons. Listen to the children.

This Week’s Mystic Message from The Divine Feminine: The Children are the cosmic beings – listen to them!

Dear Ones,

Can you hear the winds of change blowing through the world in these days?  There are so many changes coming that you will start to see people being thrown off balance by what is happening around them.

The cries of those in need will become louder and the boasting of those who have more than they need will turn to compassion as they start to see themselves as connected to all others.  Oh, we know that there are some who are unable to experience compassion but most members of the human family are, by nature, compassionate people who have been trained into selfishness by society.  In most societies on Planet Earth there is a sense of connection, with nature, with others and with the cosmos as a whole.  The cycles of nature on Planet Earth are understood by most of her peoples.  The understanding that what one individual does affects all others is widespread on the Planet.

It is only in those societies that have lost sight of this connection to others where you can see the individualism that prevents human consciousness from expanding.

But we would speak to you today of the coming changes, that which you who are on the path of Conscious Living can look forward to.

People all over Planet Earth are feeling the coming changes.  Earthquakes shake the physical world but the energetic world is also being shaken up.  Light is beginning to form in places where before there was darkness.  Those who wish to resist change are starting to become enlightened about the need for change.  You will first see this in how the children of the Planet are being treated.

The children alive on Planet Earth today are a special breed of the New Human.  They have an intelligence that defies your intelligence testing and analysis.  They are cosmic beings who have actively chosen to assist Planet Earth in her evolution toward expanded consciousness.  Look at those who have been born in the last 20 or so years as the ones who will carry changes through the coming times and into the future.  These children do not communicate well with those who are older because it is as if they come from a different planet.  In fact, they do.  These children were born on the former Planet Earth but are truly here to be inhabitants of the coming, energized and expanded Planet Earth.  Only those adults who are able to expand into the new consciousness will be able to keep up with these children.

It is precisely because these are New Humans that your medical and educational and societal systems do not work appropriately for them.  These children do not need to be drugged – they need to be protected as the super-sensitive beings that they are.  They are not to be confined by structures created for a society of hundreds of years ago – they must be supported and listened to as they are the ones who understand the coming energies from a cosmic perspective.

Listen to the little ones.  Ask them questions about what they understand.  Listen to the questions they ask and help them to explore answers, for the answers you might have given 20 years ago will no longer serve.  Spend some time with young people even if they are not blood-related to you, for you will certainly learn from them.

And then decide to open your horizons, expand to become a conscious cosmic being yourself.  You can do this by being open-minded.  Connect with others and understand that all are one, there is no separation.  This is the most important message for the coming changes – there can be no isolationists.  All are connected.  All are One with the Source.  It is the children who know this.  Listen to them.

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Power of Focus”

“It seems the headlong rush for material success and all the trappings of a so-called successful life are not enough.  To be truly rich includes not only financial freedom, but developing rich, meaningful relationships, enriching your health, and enjoying a rich balance between your career and your personal life.

The nourishment of your own spirit or soul is also an essential requirement.  This takes time to explore and expand.  It is a never-ending process.  The more you learn about yourself – how you think, how you feel, what your true purpose is and how you want to live – the more your life will flow.”
Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Les Hewitt
Keep learning about yourself, using all the tools you can.  The more you know about yourself the more easily you will flow with life.  Your key to Conscious Living is to become more educated about who you are and what you desire for your life.
