BOOK LIGHTS: from “Toward 2012 – Perspectives on the Next Age” edited by Daniel Pinchbeck and Ken Jordan, in the chapter ‘The Wounded Healer’ by Paul Levy

“What is playing out in the world theater is not separate from, but is intimately correlated to, an expression of what is happening inside of ourselves.”

from Toward 2012 – Perspectives on the Next Age,
edited by Daniel Pinchbeck and Ken Jordan,
in the chapter, The Wounded Healer by Paul Levy

Think about this sentence.  How does it relate to you and your life in this moment?  How can you work on yourself, do your inner work, so that the whole world can benefit?  That is what being a Conscious Individual means and this inner work is the evolutionary process of the New Human.

MUSE-INGS: Are You Ready for Connection?

When I had that dream a couple of weeks ago, I felt that it was an important one.  Now I see the message.

Our work in the world now is not just to try to avert dangers and disasters, but to choose the response that supports the evolution of the New Human when something does happen.

The Feminine Way is one in which we reach out to help because there is a need.  We treat others as our family.  We dispense with greed and look to what we can do so that all can survive.  This woman’s story shows a village that does just that.  Instead of hoarding there is sharing.  If someone is better off than another, they take the other into their home.

This is the best of humanity.  This happens around the world when there is a crisis.  Neighbors help neighbors.  Strangers help strangers.  People get a clear understanding that we are all one, we are all members of the same family, the Human Family.

So why is there so much greed rampant in our society?  Why do so many people forget that we are all one?  Why the subterfuge, the anger, hatred, judgment, intolerance of others?  And what would all the hate-mongers do if a devastating earthquake or tsunami hit their village?

I wonder.  Maybe this is the time that we can wipe out the separating forces with a tsunami of Love.  What if we decide that we will Love all others, no matter how different they are, no matter what they’ve done?  We will hold ourselves in so much Love that it pours out of us, without judgment or fear or hatred or anger or intolerance.  Maybe we can each commit to the concept of The Feminine Way, saying now, before we are the ones suffering a devastating disaster, that we will respond with Love if something like that happens around us.  Let us prepare ourselves to be a part of a community and a support of that community should the need arise.

My sister works in the disaster response world.  She would tell you to make the preparations that are prudent for everyone to make, whether the disaster be an earthquake, a tsunami, a hurricane, a blizzard, a tornado or just a power outage.  Check out the Red Cross website for info.  Take care of your family and household.  But also be aware that you are a part of the greater community.

If you have a Homeowners’ Association, get them to have a disaster plan.  Is there someone in the neighborhood who is on oxygen and might need a generator?  Are there elderly or babies who might need something that others can offer?  Does someone need dialysis and can’t get gas for their car to get to the appointments?  The Association could learn these things and prepare as a community for whatever might occur.

Thinking outside the box of ‘me, me, me’ enables each individual to grow as the New Human.

Maybe I had that dream as prophecy.  Maybe it was a message to all of us to think about what The Feminine Way really means in our lives.  And maybe it was a wake-up call to all of us to examine the ways in which we feel disconnected from each other so that we can find our way to connection.

Keep praying for the people in Japan and for the healing of all who inhabit our Mother Earth.

ROSEMARY’S DREAM (from the Blog of February 28, 2011)

I am walking through a scene of destruction.  Many women’s bodies are floating in a large pool of water, all face down so that I am looking at their backs.  Off to my right is a woman floating on her back with her mouth open.  She is groaning so I know she is still alive. Other women are tending to her.  I slosh through the water and the floating bodies to the other side and see women standing among the bodies to my left.  There is a woman next to me who is giving away containers of yogurt with different flavorings in them.  She says to eat them because they are the only food we have and we don’t know when ‘they’ will let us have more food.

I know that the men have killed the women.  There are no men in sight at the moment.  I am reluctant to take the yogurt because I am afraid it will give me diarrhea and that I’ll get dehydrated with no assurance that there will be fresh drinking water available.  I decide to forego the yogurt but am impressed with the way the women are taking care of each other.  There seems to be an apocalyptic energy of doom and yet the women are handling things, refusing to be defeated.

____________________________________________

This dream FELT apocalyptic, even prophetic.  But the Divine Feminine refuses to be killed.  They, the Divine Feminine, will prevail precisely because the Feminine Way is to nurture and take care of others as well as self.  Rather than hoarding the yogurt and saying, ‘Mine!’ while protecting it with guns, the women in the dream were sharing what they had and taking care of each other – The Divine Feminine Way to exist in community.

A LETTER from a woman living in Sendai, Japan where she has lived for the past Decade teaching English re “Disasters and The Feminine Way”

“Hello My Lovely Family and Friends,

“First I want to thank you so very much for your concern for me. I am very Touched. I also wish to apologize for a generic message to you all. But it seems The best way at the moment to get my message to you.

“Things here in Sendai have been rather surreal. But I am very blessed to have Wonderful friends who are helping me a lot. Since my shack is even more worthy Of that name, I am now staying at a friend’s home. We share supplies like water, Food and a kerosene heater. We sleep lined up in one room, eat by candlelight, Share stories. It is warm, friendly, and beautiful.

“During the day we help each other clean up the mess in our homes. People sit in Their cars, looking at news on their navigation screens, or line up to get Drinking water when a source is open. If someone has water running in their Home, they put out sign so people can come to fill up their jugs and buckets.

“Utterly amazingly where I am there has been no looting, no pushing in lines. People leave their front door open, as it is safer when an earthquake strikes. People keep saying, “Oh, this is how it used to be in the old days when everyone Helped one another.”

“Quakes keep coming. Last night they struck about every 15 minutes. Sirens are Constant and helicopters pass overhead often.

“We got water for a few hours in our homes last night, and now it is for half a Day. Electricity came on this afternoon. Gas has not yet come on. But all of this is by area. Some people have these things, others do not. No one has washed For several days. We feel grubby, but there are so much more important concerns than that for us now. I love this peeling away of non-essentials. Living fully On the level of instinct, of intuition, of caring, of what is needed for Survival, not just of me, but of the entire group.

“There are strange parallel universes happening. Houses a mess in some places, Yet then a house with futons or laundry out drying in the sun. People lining up for water and food, and yet a few people out walking their dogs. All happening At the same time.

“Other unexpected touches of beauty are first, the silence at night. No cars. No One out on the streets. And the heavens at night are scattered with stars. I Usually can see about two, but now the whole sky is filled. The mountains are Sendai are solid and with the crisp air we can see them silhouetted against the Sky magnificently.

“And the Japanese themselves are so wonderful. I come back to my shack to check On it each day, now to send this e-mail since the electricity is on, and I find Food and water left in my entranceway. I have no idea from whom, but it is there. Old men in green hats go from door to door checking to see if everyone is OK. People talk to complete strangers asking if they need help. I see no signs Of fear. Resignation, yes, but fear or panic, no.

“They tell us we can expect aftershocks, and even other major quakes, for Another month or more. And we are getting constant tremors, rolls, shaking, Rumbling. I am blessed in that I live in a part of Sendai that is a bit Elevated, a bit more solid than other parts. So, so far this area is better off Than others. Last night my friend’s husband came in from the country, bringing Food and water. Blessed again.

“Somehow at this time I realize from direct experience that there is indeed an Enormous Cosmic evolutionary step that is occurring all over the world right at This moment. And somehow as I experience the events happening now in Japan, I Can feel my heart opening very wide. My brother asked me if I felt so small Because of all that is happening. I don’t. Rather, I feel as part of something Happening that much larger than myself. This wave of birthing (worldwide) is Hard, and yet magnificent.

“Thank you again for your care and Love of me,

“With Love in return, to you all.”

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

With the tragedy in Japan still unfolding, we decided to do something different with this week’s ezine.  If you’re a regular reader, you’ll remember that a couple of weeks ago, I had a dream about a disaster with bodies floating in water.  The women’s response to that disaster was to help each other to survive.  I recently received an email that contained a woman’s description of how the people in her area of Japan are responding to this disaster and it reminded me of The Feminine Way to be in the world – communal, supportive, sharing, nurturing, helpful.

So this week we’re sharing with you that woman’s story, a recap of the dream I had, and some notes from me on both.

I ask that you pray for the people affected by the disaster in Japan with your heart and mind open.  Keep visualizing healing for that area.  Do not allow fear-mongerers to take you into fear for yourself.  Let your energy be of a higher vibration, of The Light.

Be careful this week as we have a Full Moon on Saturday, March 19th, followed by the Spring Equinox when the hours of daylight and darkness are in balance on March 20th.  This is the beginning of the astrological new year, when the Sun moves into the sign of Aries.  A whole new year of new energies.  Are you feeling the excitement of new beginnings?  The Full Moon at the Equinox invites us to finally let go of whatever has been holding us back.  Let go of the clutter in your life – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  Release those old ideas and bring in the new.

We’re heading back to LA this week to attend Baeth Davis’ Hand Analysis Training.  It is so exciting to be learning how your unique fingerprints hold a message for you about your Life Purpose!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Soul of Money: Reclaiming the Wealth of Our Inner Resources” by Lynne Twist

“For me, and for many of us, our first waking thought of the day is ‘I didn’t get enough sleep.’  The next one is ‘I don’t have enough time.’  Whether true or not, that thought of not enough occurs to us automatically before we even think to question or examine it.  We spend most of the hours and the days of our lives hearing, explaining, complaining, or worrying about what we don’t have enough of…Before we even sit up in bed, before our feet touch the floor, we’re already inadequate, already behind, already losing, already lacking something.”

from The Soul of Money:
Reclaiming the Wealth of Our Inner Resources
by Lynne Twist

Take charge of your first thought of the day.  Remind yourself, no matter what you wake up thinking, that you can choose to think something uplifting, supportive and positive.  Smile as you think this new thought.  Notice how your days start to improve with this tiny shift.  Let the rising sun remind you every morning to lift your own spirits as you start your day!

MUSE-INGS: Create the Day You Would Like to Have!

Quite frankly, I’m tired.  It’s been a very busy couple of weeks. I have a lot to do.  Sometimes I long for unconsciousness [or maybe it’s just that I long for sleep!].  But there is always a connection to be made when you are conscious of the need that all humans have for connectedness.

I recently bought some cosmetics at a department store and ended up having a delightful time chatting with 3 of the women who worked at the counter.  At dinner with a couple of friends, one of whom had her dog with her, the waiter got talking to us about his pets and how they had contacted him after their passing. [I had told him that I am a medium and that I often give people messages from their pets who have passed on.]  These connections were great fun and brought a smile to my face that answered the smiles of the other people.

It’s so easy to wake up every morning with the to-do list on your mind.  Or, worse, to start immediately addressing the problems that you have to solve that day.  It’s easy to jump immediately into your day without setting an intention and, yet, that is the most creative energy of your day.

You don’t have to wake up and compose a concerto but you can use those first waking moments of the day to create the day you would like to have.  If you set yourself in a grateful, giving, curious energy before you even get out of bed then whatever happens to you that day will be merely a lesson to be learned.

Tomorrow morning, wake up and tell yourself that you can gracefully handle anything that life throws at you!  Wake up and think about someone you can help.  Wake up and smile with gratitude for something in your life.  Then go out there and make it the best day ever!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “How to have a good day – smile for no reason!”

Dear Ones,

We are ready to give you a little nudge to move you in the direction of Conscious Living.  How conscious do you feel you are these days?  Are there blind spots in your focus?  Are you extending your consciousness into all areas of your life or are you only being aware in certain circumstances?

Now is not the time to play the ostrich.  You cannot bury your head in the sand and expect to live fully on Planet Earth at this time.  The Mother is asking you, begging you to participate.

Every day invites you to recommit to living a Conscious Life.  Every morning, before your feet even hit the floor, start the energy of gratitude flowing in your heart.  Be grateful that your mind is intact and that you are opening your eyes.  Think of something, no matter how small or large, that you can use to really ramp up the gratitude in your heart.  Focus on that energy for a few minutes.  Then watch it grow until it encompasses you and the coming day.

Only then do you open your eyes, so that you see through the energy of gratitude when you look at every event and situation in your day.  Create a smiling face, whether you feel like smiling or not, because that energy will magnetically attract smiles to you.  Think of something that you can do for others today and allow that energy of giving to flow through and in you.  Think of someone you love and tell them so as soon as you are able.

Then put your feet on the floor.  If you have ramped up your energy like this before you even get out of bed then you will have a good day.  Notice that we didn’t say that everything will go your way, because that is not the definition of a ‘good day.’  But no matter what happens, if you have gratitude and generosity flowing in your heart on any given day, then there is nothing that can be thrown at you that you cannot handle, that you cannot learn from.

Try smiling for no reason.  Smile at the person pumping gas next to you.  Smile at that grumpy person in the store.  Smile at the person that you work with who seems to always be in a bad mood.  Just smile.  Watch how magnetic that smile can be.

Start the day this way and commit to yourself that you are going to be conscious throughout the day of your thoughts and actions.  Are you choosing to act from your authentic self?  Are you being conscious of your choices?

Start the day with a smile of gratitude and then be aware of every choice throughout the day.  You’ll go to bed with a smile on your face that night!

And so it is.
