“The only real risk is the risk of thinking too small.”

by Frances Moore Lappé as quoted in
Pop!  Create the Perfect Pitch, Title,
and Tagline for Anything
by Sam Horn

You came to Earth with a Big Mission – your Soul Purpose is big!  If you let yourself stay small in your thinking, you cannot realize that Purpose and live it.  Follow your dreams for that is how you can learn your Purpose.  Dream Big!!!

MUSE-INGS: Purpose doesn’t depend on Pounds [or Dollars]! by Rosemary Bredeson

February 15, 2011 — Rosemary

I’ve been attending a lot of business seminars lately and they all seem to be focused on making more money.  Of course, people are in business to make a profit but I wonder if somewhere along the way we’ve forgotten WHY we want to make money.

Or maybe we’ve just forgotten the BIG WHY of each of our lives.  Have you ever questioned why you are incarnated on Planet Earth at this particular moment in the history of the Universe?  Do you really believe that the answer is ‘to make money’?  I’m guessing not.  So why are we so focused on the Almighty Dollar [or Pound Sterling or gold coin]?

I think the answer lies in the setup of the environment in which we find ourselves.  Some people tell us that making money is everything and others imply that it is a bad thing and we should give all of our money to them.  Hmmm….  What is wrong with this picture?  It seems to give power to money instead of power to the person who controls a commodity that we have collectively imbued with a certain value.

Now look at what we are being told in this message about our Life Purpose.  Are you in touch with what your Life Purpose is?  Do you feel that your current life is in alignment with that purpose?  If not, do you have a plan to discover your Life Purpose and to bring your life activities into alignment with it?  Maybe that should be at the top of your to-do list.

Who are the people in your immediate environment?  Do they support you in pursuing your dreams?  Will they support you if you decide to make some changes so that you can be more congruent with your Life Purpose?  Are THEY living in alignment with their Purpose?  What is their attitude toward money and happiness and having the resources to pursue their dreams?

Think about the energy of your own environment, both internal and external.  What are your beliefs about happiness?  About money?  Do you even know how to access your internal feelings and beliefs?

At this time in human history we must all be moving forward in our growth toward greater understanding and the evolution of human consciousness.  Having the resources to allow us to pursue higher thoughts, to examine philosophies, to move beyond survival into living a greater purpose on the Planet – these are qualities of an evolving life and the time and inclination to pursue these endeavors require that we have a certain freedom from worrying about money.  The person who is living on the streets is not free to ponder the greater scheme of things.  If you are reading these words you are probably enjoying enough resources to consider philosophy beyond pondering where your next meal is coming from.  Even if you are struggling financially, can you see that being in alignment with your Life Purpose creates a relaxation and a flow of energy that allows and invites the Universe to provide you with even more resources?  It is worth the effort to delve into determining your Life Purpose and to examine your beliefs around money and happiness.   Many people are joining you in this quest at this time.

It IS time to do this work.  All of humanity is asking each individual to lead a self-examined life and to contribute to the evolution of the collective consciousness of the Universe.  When you respond to the call to do this work the Universe has an obligation to provide the resources.  Don’t be afraid to do the inner work required.  You will be rewarded by being shown the ways to make the money to give you the freedom you need to live your Life Purpose.  Join the evolutionary movement!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Happiness or Money – which do you really seek?

February 15, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Here is some guidance for you if you desire to live your life to its fullest potential.  Do not succumb to the allure of riches for riches sake.  And do not allow yourself to be distracted from your Soul Purpose in being on Planet Earth at this time.

We see too many people who are enticed into endeavors that promise to make them wealthy without feeding their soul or their soul mission.  These people are greedy for money and might even convince themselves that they are motivated by a desire to help others but greed for money does not result in happiness on Planet Earth.  Happiness comes from a sense of alignment with what is in the Universal Plan for one’s life.  Partnerships, family, love, a right livelihood, and service – all of these contribute to one’s happiness.

We are not saying that there is anything wrong with being wealthy or in having money.  On the contrary, the Light Workers of the Universe would rather see the wealth of Planet Earth given to those who would use money as an energy for helping others and serving the highest good of the Planet than to see the money concentrated in the hands of a few who withhold the money from others who need it.

Money is merely an energy exchange that has been agreed upon by humans on Planet Earth to have a certain value.  Everything that one does or has has a certain value attached to it, not always expressible in monetary terms.  But the value of money is determined by agreement between parties involved.  Markets around the world decide on the relative value of their different currencies.  Prices can be set by some authority or be determined by the exchange market between parties.  Money has no intrinsic value in the higher orders of life.

Is money, having money, gaining money a high value for you?  Then ask yourself what it is that you intend to do with that money.  Do you long for money that you do not have?  Then ask yourself why you are putting any energy into focusing on lack and shift your thinking to having all the resources you need to be happy.  If you focus on money for money’s sake, then you lose the ability to be happy when money is not the commodity required to gain that happiness.

For example, if you believe that having money will make you happy and focus on how you lack the money that you wish to have, you will drive yourself farther and farther away from having the money you desire.  If, however, you focus on being happy, on being of service, and on helping others to find happiness, then the Universe will support you in your endeavors to gain the resources that you need to support being happy.

Stop thinking about money and think in terms of resources.  Money is one resource.  What is it you really desire?  Is it money?  Or is it what money can buy?  Do you really want to be a slave to a job to earn money or are you really desiring freedom from worrying about money?  When you have money in your pocket now do you share that with others or do you tight-fistedly hold onto it?

Think about your relationship to the resources that are available to you in your life at the present moment.  Do you have friends?  Do you have a place to live?  Do you have work that fulfills you?  Do you know your Life Purpose and are you living it now?  If your answer is no to any of these, then get about solving those situations.  Allow yourself to let making money be a part of gaining something important to you.  You will be more motivated then to gather the resources you need if your intention is to have something that your unconscious mind values more highly than the dollar.  And the result will be that you will end up with more money!  Isn’t that interesting?

And so it is.

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

February 11, 2011 — Rosemary

Back in LA at the James Malinchak seminar – loving the weather here [in the 70s] when it was below zero yesterday in Colorado Springs as I let the dog out in the morning [notice that Mom didn’t go outside with Tara!].  I think I’m getting used to the idea of moving to LA eventually!

I hope that 2011 is being a transformative year for you.  A lot of people are going through big shifts and I’m finding that people are asking to get clarity around their Life Purpose in their private sessions with me.  If you, too, would like to learn more about your Life Purpose, then here’s a special Valentine’s Day offer for you! Get a FREE Personal Power Strategy Session! For every new client that you refer to me who schedules their appointment before 11:59 PM Mountain Time on Monday, February 14th, [they just have to get on my calendar, not have their appointment before Valentine’s Day] you will be eligible to receive 1 free hour-long Personal Power Strategy Session with me after they have completed their paid session.  That’s 1 free for 1 referral!  This offer is only good for Valentine’s weekend but my heart is full this Valentine’s Day so I’d like to make this offer to everyone in RosemarySpace.  [Hint: offer to pay ½ of your friend’s session and you each get 1 hour for half the usual investment.  Just a thought…]  Here’s where to request a session:  Click Here

Full Moon next Friday, February 18th, so be prepared for the effects to start 3 days beforehand.  If drivers have a problem with Full Moon energy and there are a few snowflakes the situation could get tricky, so be cautious on the roads.

Be bold and adventurous this week! The time for timidity is past.  Get out into the World and do what you came to Earth to do. Be who you incarnated to be.  Smile a lot!

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Power of the Universe” by Brian Swimme as reprinted in “EnlightenNext, the Magazine for Evolutionaries”

February 9, 2011 — Rosemary

“Our universe is a self-transcending community of beings, and transcendence is often a necessity.  That is, the universe often arrives at a fork in the road with a terrible option: either transmute into a new form or evaporate from the story.”

from The Power of the Universe
by Brian Swimme as reprinted in
EnlightenNext, the Magazine for Evolutionaries

This is the call to each and every human being: ‘to transmute into a new form or evaporate from the story.’  In other words, Shift or Get Off the Planet!  Everyone is always at choice about their life.  It seems the time is here now to choose to transmute.  All you need to do is show up and commit to personal growth.

MUSE-INGS: Shift or Get Off the Planet! by Rosemary Bredeson

February 8, 2011 — Rosemary

Do you sometimes feel as if everything around you is in a whirlwind and you’re trying to stand still but it’s hard?  Or are you the whirlwind and everything around you is stagnant and not moving with you?  Either way you can feel out of kilter with what’s happening in your environment.

I sometimes wonder how some people can stand still when there’s so much exciting energy to step out with but a lot of people are holding firm to where they have been before because it’s comfortable, secure, safe.  I used to be that way, too.  But I learned that exploring the world of ideas, of Consciousness beyond the ordinary, was a far more exciting place to hang out than in a bar with those who just wanted to drink themselves into oblivion.  I’ve never understood choosing that kind [or, actually, any kind!] of oblivion so I’d be the one drinking club soda.  I eventually decided that I just don’t like the energy of that bar scene and avoid them like the plague.

It pains me sometimes to see people who choose to numb themselves to new concepts and ideas.  They don’t even use chemicals to do this; they merely shut down the curious part of their brains and follow a path laid out carefully before them without ever pausing to examine where they are and why they are there.  This type of person doesn’t question what they are told.  They are the followers who often live in fear.  Do you know some of them?

I remember when my daughter went through her ‘why, why, why’ stage of life.  Boy, it gets tiring to deal with those questions!  But I did love her curiosity.  She would get a cute look on her face as if she were deeply pondering that ‘why’ and she really wanted to know an answer that would satisfy her.  My answers didn’t always satisfy her but she kept plodding onward.  She still asks ‘why’ and continues to explore ideas.

Our sons were more inward in their explorations.  The older one studied lots of ideas in college and I remember his telling us about an experience he had during a play on which he was crewing and had a few moments before he was needed.  He sat and stared at his hand, pondering nothingness, when his hand disappeared and he realized that he could see the stage curtain THROUGH his hand.  Of course, this freaked him out but it left quite an impression on his young mind.

Do you foster exploration in the folks around you?  Are you ready to have a conversation about ideas that stretch your understanding?  UFOs? ETs? Nothingness?  Collective Consciousness?  Angels?  The Other Side?

Try bringing up one of these topics at your next dinner party.  It’s much more exciting than talking about the weather or sports!  Explore ideas with your friends and see which ones are willing to go there with you and which ones are afraid to step into those arenas.

Even better than talking to others, sit by yourself and ponder questions that your normal, busy life doesn’t give you time to consider.  Have you ever stared at the ocean and pondered the life beneath the surface?  Have you ever looked up at the night sky and thought about what is moving there that appears to be stationary?  When is the last time that you read a book that explored the current thinking about Consciousness?  Quantum Physics is now proving what Metaphysics has known for thousands of years – have you read anything about this?

Next time you’re in a bookstore pick up a magazine that you haven’t read before and explore some new ideas.  Then find someone to chat with about what you learned.  It’s time to step up to the responsibility to expand human awareness.  Tag – You’re It!!!

Now, Shift or Get Off the Planet! [Just kidding!  Just Shift!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Evolve or Evaporate!

February 7, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

The world is rapidly changing on its very axis and many people are walking on her surface with confused minds and unsettled hearts.  The energy of these times can be too much for some people to handle while others are plunging in to their transformations with vigor and enthusiasm. Which category is yours? 

Now is not the time to sit on the fence.  You must decide whether you are ready to grow or if you are choosing to ‘sit this one out.’  Each individual faces a personal crisis of transformation and for some the leap to their next level is a frighteningly huge one.  Again, are you committing to transform or are you choosing to stay where you are?  Or are you, as yet, undecided about that answer?

Decide now.  Transformation is before you, whether you know it or not and whether you are ready or not.  Each human being, no matter how old or young they are, is being called to commit to the coming transformation within.  No one can escape this.  Those who go willingly into transformation will find that they are comfortably changed on the other side of the process.  Those who resist but eventually go along will also be comfortable but it might take them longer to effect the change and there might be some discomfort before they settle down.

Those, however, who resist and regress, who decide not to step into their own transformation, will be very uncomfortable as the world around them changes and they no longer recognize their environment.  This is not to alarm anyone about catastrophic Earth changes or terrible things to come.  But the people who resist change will be left behind as the evolution of Consciousness eclipses their little minds.

Have you thought about yourself as a participant in the evolutionary aspect of the expansion of human awareness?  Each individual carries a responsibility to the evolution of Consciousness on the planet and they participate by expanding their own awareness into energies, spaces and dimensions beyond their old lives.  The teacher who focuses on fostering the creativity innate in their students is participating in the expansion of human awareness.  The person who meditates and stills the chatter of their mind taps into other dimensions where silence and answers live.  The business person who has a soul in their business instead of having a business that ‘sucks the soul’ from its employees is participating in the evolution of Consciousness.

How are you participating?  Are you a parent, raising a child who is allowed to reach beyond the visible into the imagination?  Are you a friend who encourages others to stretch themselves rather than fitting into a mold designed by someone else?  Do you see your role in relationships as supporting others in their exploration of ideas or are you pulling them back into what’s been done before?

Think about these things.  You were born into the time when the Earth needed you to help all of humanity expand.  Your spirit agreed before you were born that you would be here for this evolutionary moment.  All those around you coordinated their life plans so that you could share this moment with them.  This is an exciting moment in the evolution of Consciousness.  Stay curious.  Continue to grow.  Love Mother Earth for bringing you to her heart when you were most needed.  And participate in the growth that you are called to expand.

 

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “Lift the Basket from your gifts!” by Rosemary Bredeson

February 1, 2011 — Rosemary

If I were to ask you to make a list of your gifts, would you be able to do that?  Right now, writing them down?  Or would you have to ponder this and listen to that little voice inside your head that puts you down for thinking that you are ‘gifted’?

You DO have gifts.  Not everyone is a Mozart but everyone IS the composer of their own life.  You string together the notes of the melody by the choices that you make every day.  Big and little choices.  Are they harmonious?  Or do they seem discordant at times?  The harmonious times are the ones in which you are living with and sharing your gifts so that you are in flow with the World around you.

I know people who have the gift of peacemaking – they are able to mediate disputes, to settle arguments, to smooth ruffled feathers.  How upsetting situations could be around them if they kept their mouths shut and refused to negotiate peace.  Others have the gift of being incisive and organized and they share that gift with others.  Still others are musicians who play for the joy of the sharing.

Your gifts don’t have to be shared in your occupation or your work. You don’t have to go into business sharing your gifts, although you can.  Sometimes your greatest gift is to be shared with the people who are closest to you, those you live with, your family.  Search your inner self and be honest as you identify, accept and value your own gifts.

Look at your childhood.  What talents and gifts did you display?  Were you always drawing pictures?  Maybe you are creative at problem solving rather than painting art.  Were you always building something, from blocks, your Erector Set, model kits?  Perhaps your gift is to be the architect of new solutions to old problems, building computers or software, building structure out of chaos.

I used to play Catholic priest.  OK, I was a girl and the Church wouldn’t ordain me but that didn’t change the fact that I was always the one who lined up the neighborhood kids and played ‘Communion,’ where I would give them Necco Wafers instead of the host.  I went on to be ordained but not by the Catholic Church and Communion isn’t Necco Wafers but I do feel I have a gift as a spiritual teacher.

In my childhood I also saw things that others couldn’t see.  This was the seed of the intuitive gifts that I now use in my work as an intuitive coach and medium.  Imaginary friends are glimpses through the veil between dimensions and indicate gifts of a special kind of ‘sight’ in kids who have these friends.  Our granddaughter, when she was a crawling infant, used to comfort the other kids at day care when they got upset.  The nurse at the center said they called Makayla their ‘little healer’ because she could calm a screaming baby with a look or a touch.  All this before she could even walk!  Makayla does have a gift of healing that was evident as a tiny infant.

So what is your gift?  What gifts do you have that you have been hiding under a basket?  Maybe it is time now for you to lift the basket and share your gifts.

These gifts are meant to be given!  Thank you for sharing your gifts with the rest of us.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Give Away the Gifts You Have”

January 31, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

The energy within you, the gifts you have been given, are not for you alone.  You are meant to share your gifts with the World and especially with those who are close around you.

Do you mistakenly believe that you do not have gifts?  We would tell you that everyone who takes on human form on Planet Earth brings with them into this lifetime many gifts.  Are you not recognizing those gifts that are yours?

Start by looking at what other people value in you.  What strengths do you bring to your relationships?  What are people reflecting back to you about their relationship with you?  What are people asking you to do for them or share with them or advise them about?  The answers to these questions will bring you clues about your gifts and what they are.

Remember when you were a little child, what was your favorite game to play?  This, too, will give you a clue to your gifts.  What did you dream about becoming when you grew up?  What kind of books did you read or movies did you watch?  Can you look at your young life and see a pattern emerging that indicates what gifts you incarnated with?

The gifts you have are yours to share because you are a part of a Universal Plan that is unfolding as your entire Soul Group has requested it.  Each member of a Soul Group agrees before incarnating that they will hold a certain energy to support the growth and evolution of the consciousness of all the others in that group.  Throughout your life the contact with other members of your Soul Group may become stronger or it may lessen but you have agreed to be a part of the lessons that all members are learning.  They have agreed to help you to learn your lessons as well.

Your gifts are the parts of you that enhance the lives of others around you.  For example, one who has a gift of music must share that music and, thus, enhance the lives around them.  For you, your gift might be a gift of healing and you bring healing energy to those with whom you come into contact.  Perhaps your gift is the gift of making other people feel comfortable, and you will find that there are many opportunities along your path for you to do so.

Whatever your gifts are, make sure that you are sharing them.  If you are not sure what gifts you have, then work with someone who can help you to uncover them.  You have gifts – this is a certainty.  If you are looking for the gift of creativity and your gift is to hold the traditional form then you will not recognize or value your own gifts.  You must accept without judgment the gifts that are yours for they have a place in the grander scheme of Life on Planet Earth.  When you deny your gifts or refuse to share them then you are impacting far more people than just yourself.

Be open.  Be honest with yourself about your gifts.  Recognize, develop and share your gifts.  Your gifts are for giving to others.

And so it is.
