MUSE-INGS: “Just BE Who You Are!”

Be true to who you are.  Be your authentic self.  Just be you.

Does that concept confuse you?  Who ARE you, really?  Do you know?

It seems that we are supposed to know easily just who we are.  We can define the roles that we play: wife, mother, sister, grandmother, teacher, student, friend, etc.  But, does that really address who we are inside?  Who we were born to be in the Universe’s great scheme of things?  I think not.

So how do you answer the question of ‘Who are you, really?’

Try right now, for a few minutes, to come up with a good answer for that.  Don’t answer with what your roles are, or what your job is, or what your task for the day is, but really examine your inner being for some guidance here.  You are, of course, all of those roles, and all of the jobs and tasks, but there is something behind all of that that is very important for you to discover.

Who are you, really?

If you play with that idea, and catch yourself defining yourself by external measurements, then you will, at some point, start to get deeper answers that become more meaningful to you.  Are you hearing something about being a Being of Light?  Are you a Beacon?  Are you a Touchstone for others?  Are you a Giver?  A Listener?  A Timeless Spirit with a Gift to Share?  Who are you, really?

The possibilities are endless but they are not the same as ‘wife, mother, teacher, sister, etc.’ are they?

Bring your attention to how it feels as you explore who you really are.  Are you feeling confused?  Frustrated?  Angry?  Elated?  What are you feeling?  This will give you a clue about how close you are coming to the true answer to the question.

For many people, the answer to ‘Who am I?’ brings with it a feeling of the immense size of that answer.  And with that feeling of immensity comes the doubting energy that says, ‘Who do you think you are to be something that big?’  Am I right?  Did you hear that voice or something like it?  Well, let me tell you that that is not the voice of your inner self assisting you in accessing your authenticity, for who are you NOT to be that big?

The Universe and Mother Earth conspired to have you exist on this Planet at this time for the purpose of assisting the unfolding of the Universe’s Grand Plan.  You must step into your power, be the ‘who’ that you were born to be, so that you can fulfill your part in this Plan.  Who do you think you are to deny the Universe and Mother Earth your participation in this unfolding Grand Plan?  Aha, we have you there, right?

Thinking small and playing small do not serve you or anyone else.  Be the person you were born to be.  And do not worry about what you are to do.  ‘Being’ is more important than ‘doing.’  The ‘doing’ must follow from the ‘being’ who you are.

And Joy, a deep, abiding, inner sense of Joy, is the promised reward.

MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: “Joy — the Reward for Being Who You Really Are!”

Dear Ones,

Joy is a gift that you give yourself when you do the inner work required to experience personal and spiritual growth.  Think about how important it is to do the work, constantly and devotedly, to live a Conscious Life.  You cannot take ‘time off’ from this work.  But it does not need to be tedious.

When you make the commitment to live consciously you open yourself to the awareness of Life that starts within you.  Everything you do or think is then focused through the lens of the greater picture of how you live, what you choose and how you fit into the fabric of the Universe in a given moment.  Once you have learned the importance of becoming awake and aware at all times, you cannot go back to sleep.  Oh, you can choose at times to act as if you are ignorant of what we are saying, but there will always be a part of you that is longing for that consciousness of the greater import of what you are choosing and how you are living your life.

And Joy is the reward for living the Conscious Life!  This Joy of which we speak is the Joy that resides deep within you, that cannot be shaken by outer circumstances.  You will feel this deep Joy when you are staying awake and aware of the choices you make in a given day.  Noticing what is required of you by the others around you gives you a hint of the consequences of choosing to go back to sleep. People need for you to stay awake.  People around you have a need for you to be who you are, at all times.  When you find yourself believing that you must put up a false front for someone, question whether that person really needs to be in your life at this time.

Think about that.  If you cannot be yourself, your true, authentic, self, at all times with a person, then why are you in relationship with that person?  Time is speeding up for humans on Planet Earth at this time and there is no time to waste playing the game of being a different person for each other person with whom you interact.  Do you feel that you are walking on eggshells around a certain person because you cannot relax and be who you are?  Are you concerned about losing the love or respect of someone because you do not have the energy to keep up the pretense of being what they want or expect instead of who you really are?

Own your very essence, the true being that you are at your core.  The time for pretense has long passed.  Now is the time for authenticity.  Do you struggle with knowing who you really are?  Are you concerned that you have lost touch with your authentic inner self?  Then get some help in that discovery.  Go inside.  Consult with a guide.  Meditate or journal or work with someone until you know, with certainty, who you are.

For you are very important to the Plan of the Universe as it is unfolding.  The 21st Century is a time where this Plan is developing and expanding and manifesting the reality of the rest of the Century and you play an integral part in that Plan.  But first you must be clear about who you are.  Then you must be that and only that.

And we promise you that Joy is the reward you will receive for committing to be your authentic self in the World!

And so it is.

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

Mercury goes Direct today – hallelujah! Have you noticed that this Mercury Retrograde has been a difficult one? There certainly seems to have been a lot of chatter on Facebook about it! But with Mercury heading back to normal maybe our communications can get unfarbled and clearer than they have been. I certainly hope so!

We also have a New Moon happening on August 28th so we can march forward with our plans and start new things. What are you looking for in your Life that is new? This is the time to invite it in. Create some new affirmations for your desires and welcome in those energies.

I’ve been thinking about the DC earthquake as I sit safely in California while my family in Maryland recovers and then prepares for a possible hurricane. Mother Earth’s furies can take violent turns but we must wonder if she is trying to ‘shake us up’ so we can get out of our lethargy and into the action of becoming who we are meant to be. These are pretty dramatic signs that something needs to be shifted around!

If you’re looking at shifting energies and thinking about your personal path of growth, then this is a good time to schedule your complimentary Strategy Session so we can identify your challenges and obstacles and help to get a path ahead charted for you. Send me an email and we can get your free 15-minute call on the calendar! rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com

Next week I’ll be writing to you from beautiful Sedona, Arizona! If you’re in that area [or Phoenix] please connect with me!

Have a great week and see if you can tell that Mercury Retrograde is over! I’m hoping my phones [two cell phones, different carriers] will stop dropping calls!

BOOK LIGHTS: “The Astonishing Power of Emotions: Let Your Feelings Be Your Guide” by Esther and Jerry Hicks [The Teachings of Abraham™]

“Most people want to be loved. They want to be appreciated, and they want to be understood. But the trouble with those desires is that you cannot control whether someone else appreciates or loves or understands.”

Esther and Jerry Hicks [The Teachings of Abraham™]

You CAN, however, appreciate or love or understand when you reach out to others. Remember that you attract that which you put out into the Universe. So if you want a relationship where the other person is seeing you as you wish to be seen, then you must first make the effort to see them through a clear lens that allows them to be who they are. Your efforts will improve all your relationships.

MUSE-INGS: Clean the Lens or Change the Prescription!

Relationships. Always a challenge. Always an opportunity. Always a potential source of joy.

Sometimes we think immediately of an intimate or love relationship when we hear the word, but we are in relationships with others whether they be long term, intimate or just the person who is the cashier at the grocery store. Do you think of relationships in this way?

When a grocery cashier seems to be having a bad day or appears grumpy, what is your reaction? Do you get grumpy in response or do you get understanding and sympathetic? When your child is angry and upset and possibly screaming at you, do you react in kind or do you try to look at things from their perspective? When your partner has upset you, are you in reactive mode or thoughtful mode to see what you are really feeling and which lens you are looking through?

I was working with a client recently and received this guidance for her: Give yourself permission to have the reaction but choose the best response. You don’t have to follow through with the reaction. You have options to respond a different way. It can be easy to keep going with the initial knee-jerk reaction but when you are living a Conscious Life you hit the pause button, notice the reaction but choose the appropriate response.

For example, those of us who are helpers tend to jump to help another when we perceive the need. But is this the best response? Are we looking through our own lens and not allowing them to have theirs? Our reaction might be to jump in and help but perhaps the best response is to support them in finding their own solution.

Or someone might be angry and our immediate reaction is to feel that they are angry at us. They might not even be noticing us at the time but we react to their anger without pausing to see if that is the best response for us to choose at the time. Maybe our Dad hit us when he was angry and the little child in us is afraid that will happen again whenever we are around anger. Or we had a lover once who shouted angrily just before they stormed out of the door, never to be seen again, and we are reacting with our fear of being abandoned again.

There is always so much more going on in any relationship than meets the eye at the surface of things. Allow yourself the freedom to take time to notice where you are in your own feelings as you relate to others. Are YOU having a bad day and the grocery cashier being slow allows you to vent your feelings on them? Is your partner really upsetting you or are you already upset about something and they are merely triggering your reaction?

Be conscious of your feelings. If you need to, then practice going inside to assess what is true for you in this present moment. Your lens has been created by all of your life experiences and it exists at an unconscious level within you. It’s not something that you can access through analysis or your mind. You must learn to feel your feelings and to express them appropriately. But this can only happen if you take time to do the inner work, uncover what exists at the unconscious level and bring it into your awareness.

The most important relationship you have is the one with yourself. Are you looking at yourself through a harsh, judgmental lens, created from your past experiences? Or is your lens foggy with misconceptions or blurry images that you haven’t taken the time to examine and clear up? Maybe the place to start is to work on this internal relationship first. Then you can change the prescription on your lens and see all your other relationships in a new light!

from The Divine Feminine: Relationship Rx — Time for a New Prescription?

Dear Ones,

The heart of a person is never operating in a way that is fully visible to others. Remember this in all your personal interactions.

Each person has a series of experiences in their past that influence their feelings in any given moment. From birth onward they have had feelings, emotions, experiences that have shaped them into the person they are today. As you have been shaped by your life, you must understand that every person around you has also been shaped by theirs. Can you find an understanding place within you so that you accept every other person just as they are without judgment or analysis or condemnation?

Think of a recent interaction with someone that you wish had gone differently. This doesn’t necessarily mean an angry confrontation or anything you would deem negative, just something that you wish had taken a different path. Now think of that person as a little child in that situation, where they were probably operating from a position where they didn’t have the same information that you had about that situation. Might you see that their choices were based on only the information that they had at the time, not on what you knew or had experience with, but only on their limited experience? Perhaps it triggered a remembrance of something they had already experienced and so they responded as they had before. Or perhaps they chose a different response to seek a different result.

When you try on the perspective of another person, you are working from a place where you have all the insights of your perspective but can see that they might have been looking at things differently. We hope that this gives you a feeling of understanding and comprehension of what is going on in any interaction.

Other people are not you. They have a different way of seeing life and themselves. They are the product of all their experiences to date and they can only look through the lens of those experiences. You have not had the same experiences. Your lens is not the same as theirs. You must understand this if your interpersonal relationships are to be successful.

Some people teach that you must learn to forgive, but the definition of forgiveness does not come from this place of understanding. You have no obligation to become a doormat to others, or to forgive something that has injured or harmed you. Forgiveness is not saying, ‘It’s all right,’ although that is how many interpret forgiveness.

True forgiveness is the understanding that there is nothing to forgive, in this old sense of the word. Everybody is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given moment. You might wish they had more or different resources, but they are doing the best they can. Forgiveness from this perspective means ‘I understand that you are looking through your personal lens and I choose not to take into myself the energy of owning your choices and your perspective.’ When you make a decision about how you will react, how you respond to something, you are choosing whether to take that trigger into yourself or let it pass through.

At the same time you must decide whether or not you are going to place yourself in this situation again in the future. Too many times it is easier to let something go that has disturbed you, allow feelings of anger or resentment or worse fester within you, and yet you do not make the choice to distance yourself from the other person. Or you do not express appropriately the feelings that you are having to inform that person [and, thus, to give them more resources/information] so that they can make the choice to change their behavior if they wish.

Relationships are not about two people always seeing eye to eye because no two people have had the same experiences to bring to their connection with each other. Relationships that thrive do so because each individual has found a way to remain their own person while allowing the other person to also remain an individual, different but agreeing on seeing things through different, very personal lenses.

Remember this in all your interactions with others!

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: “Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness” by Esther and Jerry Hicks [The Teachings of Abraham™]

“Abraham: Whenever you feel negative emotion, that is your Emotional Guidance System giving you an indication that you are, in that moment, looking at negative aspects of something, and in doing so, you are depriving yourself of something wanted.”

Esther and Jerry Hicks [The Teachings of Abraham™]

The more conscious we become the faster we can catch ourselves feeling something negative so we can correct our focus. Think of yourself as always on the lookout for the way to feel happier. What thoughts can you shift so that you are feeling Love, spreading Love and feeling happier in this moment?

MUSE-INGS: “It’s Time to Shift for 2012!”

Everyone seems to have questions about 2012 and there are confusing sources of answers about what is coming. Let’s talk about what our responsibility is in the coming days.

Each individual is being called to their higher purpose and it is time to lift our heads up out of the sand, metaphorically, or at least out of the confusion of our physical lives, and look to the horizon of Life on Planet Earth. We have been humans on Earth for millennia. We have been growing and learning with the passage of each year. Sometimes societies have dropped back a bit in their evolution of Consciousness [they were, after all, called ‘The Dark Ages’] but there have always been people who are exploring the boundaries, reaching beyond the limits as generally understood, and seeing into the possibilities that exist.

And there have always been those who hold back, who love the status quo or are so afraid of change that they prefer to stay stuck where they are even if it is uncomfortable. Some of these have created a deity of gold, money and power. Some others have given away their personal power and cower in their feelings of helplessness and victimhood. Some people have hidden behind religions or ideologies or politics or movements and choose not to examine their personal responsibility within the context of an organization to which they belong. And some people have decided that their primary motivation is greed and that this world is a dog-eat-dog world so they must amass what fortune they can so that whatever happens in the future the money in their mattress will lift them up above all the others on the Planet.

Guess what? What’s coming is a shift in Consciousness, a lifting of the vibrational frequency of our Mother, the Earth. Money in the mattress has no bearing on what is coming. But fear of lack will hold you back from the evolution that lifts you into higher Consciousness.

Are you listening to economic reports and getting fearful? Are you worrying about paying your bills? Are you despairing of attaining your dreams because you see money slipping away from you? Stop this!

Dream your dreams. My business card is really a quote card with this thought that I penned on the front of it: ‘Always reach beyond what you can see – your Big Dream is there!’ If your finances aren’t what you would wish, shift your thinking. Everything that is happening in your life began as a thought. That thought was processed through your belief system. And your actions follow that. Do you believe that you can achieve your dreams? Do you care?

So now move beyond the circumstances of today in your life and look at life around you. Notice the sentence in the Mystic Message about greed: ‘It is greed for what one desires that brings on worries.’ LOVE your dreams into existence. Do not try to grab what you can. ALLOW your desires to be fulfilled. Stay at the vibration of your dreams.

Does this mean you can just sit and visualize without taking action? No. Remember: your thoughts are processed through your belief system and your actions follow. Thoughts without actions do not materialize your dreams. Unconscious, unexamined belief structures within us can block the realization of our dreams. Work at all three levels of your existence.

What thoughts are you inserting into the Collective Consciousness? Are you aware of your thoughts? When you speak, are you conscious of the words, emotions, meaning of what you are saying? What are you putting out there for your grandchildren and great-grandchildren to access?

Have you worked to identify your belief structures, the system of beliefs under which you operate, consciously AND unconsciously? In my work with private clients we spend most of our time identifying what is going on unconsciously so that they can make conscious choices about the actions they will take. It is difficult to access what is going on at the unconscious level without a guide to help you. And this is very important work if you are going to lift your vibration to the level of your dreams from the physical problem level.

And then you must determine the actions that you will be taking. This is where learning to connect with your inner guidance and wisdom will help you to expand the possibilities for you to choose from when you decide on an action to take.

Alignment with your purpose, clearing away negative thoughts and limiting beliefs, and deciding on actions from an expanded source of possibilities – this is how the Conscious Human lives into 2012. There’s no other way to shift into that higher vibration.

from The Divine Feminine: “2012 and What You Are Putting into the Collective Consciousness”

Dear Ones,

The world is a changing place. The coming energies of 2012 demand that each individual takes responsibility for his or her own life. No blaming others. No looking to others for rescue or salvation. No giving away of power. Each human being is called to claim their own inner power, no matter what the outside circumstances might indicate. Every individual must find their own voice.

But, and this is a big part of the coming times, each individual must also see that they are a part of a collective whole, that All Are One, for greed is the energetic force that convinces an individual that they are separate from the others. LOVE is the energetic force that calls forth compassion, an energy of compassion that is not born in pity but rather from an understanding that All are Connected in the Whole.

Isolationism will destroy the world if it is born out of greed and lack of compassion. Individuals need each other on a primal, survival level in the 21st Century. Very few people are totally self-sufficient, especially in the Western World, where people rely on methods of transportation that use fuels that deplete the health and vitality of Mother Earth. And yet many individuals are acting as if they are totally independent of all others. This is hypocrisy!

We are not just talking about having food, shelter, transportation and medical care here, but there is a societal factor to the interaction between and among human beings. People need other people. Conversation that uplifts and expands the individuals involved, or that brings nebulous ideas into clearer focus based on the synergy of the discussion is beneficial to all of humanity because of the resultant expansion of the Collective Consciousness.

Every person should see their thoughts, speech and actions as elements affecting the Collective Consciousness. Are you expanding that? Or are your thoughts, speech and actions having a deleterious effect on those around you and, thus, on the Collective Consciousness? What are you putting into this body of consciousness for your grandchildren and great-grandchildren to access in the future?

You have a responsibility to future generations to avoid polluting the Collective Consciousness with negative energy. You have a responsibility to future generations to expand the world view from the tiny perspective based on greed to the expanded one that flows from the energy of Love.

Love cares that other human beings are suffering. Love understands that those who have much are required to share so that all on the planet might live. Love dictates that wars and killing are not the answers that move humanity forward in the evolution of Consciousness. Love teaches that one person’s choice for greed over Love constricts the energy not only of that one person but of all around them. Love is generous in thought, accepting others as they are, sharing from the heart, supporting others along their journey. Love does not judge. Love does not hate. Love does not set oneself up as better than others but seeks to understand and accept differences. Love reaches out to serve not to grab what it can. Love connects one to Source Energy so that miserliness and greed do not resonate and are eliminated.

Each person must now seek this kind of Love, for all worries and concerns are dissipated in the energy of Love. It is greed for what one desires that brings on worries. Surrendering to the flow of Love expands one so much that one’s Life can then encompass that which one desires in one’s heart. This way of Living will shift the Conscious Ones into the next vibration.

And that is the task for every human being now inhabiting Planet Earth.

And So It Is.

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

(c) Rosemary Bredeson The Scientific Mystic(tm) 2011 By the time you read this I’ll be settled into my temporary home in LA. This is a big adventure and I am hoping to see many of you during my months on the road! The focus of my work is to help people see through the crises around them into the field of all possibilities.If you are feeling dragged down by news and circumstances, I hope you will allow me to help by lifting you into a higher vision for your life. My private clients are finding great peace and confidence when they move forward with guidance that helps them to expand their thinking and, often, they get information about specific actionsthat can propel them forward with confidence. I have watched several over the past few weeks change furrowed brows to smiles, and this is what I wish for you! [This is why I use video conferencing for private sessions – so I can see those smiles! Sometimes the phone isn’t as fun but it works.]

On Saturday, August 13th, we experience a Full Moon at 11:57 AM Pacific Daylight Time. Do your work around this Full Moon! Write out what you are ready to release in your life – it can be a long list! – and burn it safely so that you are truly letting go. I will be letting go of our Colorado properties so that the next owners can start to enjoy them – a beautiful home in Colorado Springs and 18.45 acres of mountain splendor near Breckenridge. Our thoughts are in gratitude for having been given the privilege of enjoying these gifts while they were ours to enjoy, but it is time now to release them to the next lucky people. As we prepare for our move to Maryland this Fall, we are getting rid of a lot of ‘stuff.’ It feels good to create a big bag of clothes for someone who shops at Goodwill to enjoy, to pack up books that I think someone else is ready to read, to send warm coats off to those who need them. Letting go doesn’t have to mean bringing in anything new. It is freeing to simply let go! This is what the Full Moon energy is all about. [At the New Moon we will invite in new energies so be patient for 2 weeks.]

Remember that Mercury is retrograde until August 26th so watch other people on the road, read, re-read and then re-read again any contracts that you have to sign. Check your emails before you hit ‘send’. And take some time to go inside your heart and review where things stand for you today.

If you are in the Los Angeles area, please email me [rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com] so we can hook up. I am looking for places/groups to present to and will be sharing information and guidance about preparing for 2012. If you know a group of entrepreneurs, especially women, or metaphysically-minded people who are curious about what’s coming, then please let me know so that I can get in touch with them. My desire is to reach as many people as I can with the message that there is hope for us all if we do our inner work and choose Love over greed.

Have a magical week!
