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: 2012:The Answers
April 13, 2010 — RosemaryThere 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!
