MUSE-INGS: “Greedy Hermit or Compassionate Conscious Being” by Rosemary Bredeson

January 25, 2011 — Rosemary

Well, I, for one, do not want to be a ‘greedy hermit’!

And, yet, sometimes it feels greedy to just want a little time alone when there are so many demands being placed on our time and energy.  How to strike a balance?

The first way to do this is to get in touch with what is going on inside you in this present moment.  Asking yourself how you feel, what’s happening inside with relation to outside, is an important tool to cultivate.  Oftentimes we go through our days on a sort of autopilot that keeps us from being really aware of the energies within and around us.  We plow through our to-do lists, going from one project or activity to another.  How many times have you said to yourself or others, ‘In a minute…’?  Can you find a way to pause and be fully present to this moment NOW?

When we pause and take a breath into this moment we are connecting with our body and our own energy and there is a lot of information available to us through this connection.  When we are aware, we can sense our feelings and the energies of those around us.  The more you practice this skill the greater will be your awareness of these energies.

For example, if you are blithely going through your day and yet a co-worker or spouse or child is struggling with their day, do you take time to notice?  Or are you so wrapped up in your own stuff that you are oblivious to that struggle?  It is not a judgment against you if the answer is ‘yes’ but this could be your wake-up call that sometimes you need to come up for air and, like a submarine’s periscope, scan the horizon for what is going on around you.

Do you participate in conversations or discussions without really listening to what others are saying, verbally and non-verbally?  Maybe you can start checking on yourself every so often to see where your attention has been and bring it back to connecting with those around you.

Watching your language, your tone of voice, making eye contact, your body language – all of these awarenesses can lead you to improving the connections that you have with others.  With more information about what is going on with the other or others, compassion can rise up in your heart and you can offer that energy in response to what is going on.  If you are clueless to what is happening around you, then you cannot connect to compassion.  And you want to.

Compassion is a very high frequency energy that is important to the world today.  The more we can share that energy the more the Planet can benefit.  One compassionate act can also bring others along with it.  The compassionate one can bring awareness to the clueless, can move the ‘greedy hermit’ into consideration of others.  Compassion can be contagious!  Wouldn’t you like to be the Typhoid Mary of Compassion?

Make a commitment to yourself that you are going to spread compassion this week wherever you find yourself.  At a gathering, look around for the person who seems lonely or alone and chat with them.  At home, look at the others in your household and really see them.  Ask questions and stay interested in their answers.  On the street or at the mall, try walking around smiling at people, saying, ‘Excuse me’ if you bump into them, or even if they bump into you.  Ask the server at the restaurant how they are doing and listen to their answer.  Spread compliments [heart-felt, please!] everywhere you go.  If you are looking for something to compliment you will not be focused on finding fault.

Become more aware of others and of what is going on inside you.  Awareness brings consciousness and compassion can spring from that.  See what it feels like to keep yourself in this high frequency energy!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Are you a ‘greedy hermit’?”

January 24, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

A Conscious Life demands that an individual be aware at all times of their thoughts, their feelings, the effect of what they are saying and doing on others, and the impact that every thought they hold has on the Universe at large.  One cannot live a Conscious Life while ignoring others around them nor can one choose to be a ‘greedy hermit,’ one who chooses to think only of themselves and to gather what they can to themselves without concern about the greater good of All or the impact to others.

This means that, if you wish to live a Conscious Life, then you must find compassion within your heart as you go about every decision in your day.

Compassion goes far beyond giving alms to the poor or volunteering at a homeless shelter.  Compassionate living requires constant attention to the people around you and those who will be impacted by your actions.  Are you throwing trash on the floor that someone later must bend over and pick up?  Are you expecting service from a restaurant worker and leaving a small tip or none at all?  Do you celebrate that a clerk in a store made an error in your favor on your bill, forgetting or ignoring the fact that that clerk must pay that difference out of their own pocket?

And how do you treat the people you live with?  Are you more courteous to your co-workers than to your family?  Do you excuse rude behavior at home because you are tired from working all day?  Do you have time for those who ask it of you, like a spouse or child or parent or friend?  Or are you constantly finding excuses to avoid giving your time to others who might want or need it?

What do your thoughts in a day say about your level of compassion?  When you pass someone in need, do you help or offer help or do you get angry at their being in your sphere?  What kind of energy are you sending out with your thoughts of and toward others?  How do you feel about debates in your society?  Do your decisions, about politics or contributions or choosing friends, come from a place of genuine compassion for others or do they stem from prejudices, fears, intolerances?

All of these questions can lead you to an understanding of how a person who is living consciously does not compartmentalize compassion.  When you choose a path in life that causes you to find fault with others, to criticize, to avoid interactions with those whom you deem unacceptable, according to some arbitrary criteria, then you are choosing a path away from the Path of Compassion.  You might not even realize that you are making this choice but moving through Life in an unconscious manner causes you to lack compassion because you are unaware of the needs of others.

Practice compassion in your Life.  Look around you with open eyes.  Evaluate what you are doing and thinking by expanding your awareness to all who will be affected by your actions and thoughts.  Really take the time to listen to others, to hear their hidden messages as they share with you.  Become aware of your voice, your tone, your look when you communicate with another.  Are you sending out the energy of caring and compassion or are you discounting that person?  Are you in a conversation listening to the other person or are you busy thinking about what you want to say, or what you think, or what all this means for you?

The ‘greedy hermit’ thinks only of what they want, what they think they need.  This kind of greed blocks the compassionate energy that all humans are born with.  Little toddlers will try to share or to comfort or to help.  When they learn to differentiate themselves from others they start to use the term ‘mine’ to try to define themselves and to learn where their boundaries are.  If raised in a compassionate environment, they will continue to share and to care about the feelings of others.  But if they are raised to grab all they can for themselves without regard to the consequences to others then they will learn to put on blinders and to shut down natural compassionate urges.

Model compassion for all around. Care.  Listen.  Share, especially yourself.  As you give this sharing energy into the Universe, the Universe will respond with the same kind of energy toward you.  Sharing keeps you from becoming a ‘greedy hermit’!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: There is hope for humanity! by Rosemary Bredeson

January 18, 2011 — Rosemary

If we can all bring our focus away from what divides us and, instead, work with the energies that unite us, we can solve the problems of humanity.

The evolutionary spirit of human beings depends upon an understanding of the connectedness of all Life.  The evolutionary process did not stop when a man chose to walk upright on 2 legs, or when the hairy beast lost some fur.  We continue to evolve and the Heart-Mind Center that is appearing in Conscious Humans is another sign that evolution is still at work on the species.

We NEED this evolutionary change at this time!  We need to figure out some new ways of being because a lot of the old ways no long work in the 21st Century world we live in.  The only important question is, Are you willing to evolve or are you struggling to hold on to the old ways of being?

How wonderful that we are being given a new energy center to help us in this process.  How kind of the Universe to help us along.  Are you willing to work to develop this energy center in yourself?  What does that entail?

Loving yourself is the first step.  Take care of yourself – body, mind, spirit, energy.  Many people are going to the gym but how many are going inside and meditating?  Many people are studying or delving deeply into intellectual topics but how many are expanding their spiritual understandings?

Loving yourself isn’t just about taking a spa vacation or taking time to be entertained.  There is an active quality about loving yourself that requires that you continually move in the direction of your highest good.  What stretches you to greater spiritual understanding?  What increases the Love in you that can radiate outwardly to others?  How can you come to a better understanding of the concept that All are One?  Do you ever wrestle with questions like these?  Do you have others with whom you can explore these ideas?

It is time to find community, a tribe, a collection of people who, like you, are explorers in the realm of Consciousness and who are open to learning that previously held ideas may no longer be valid.  Do you sometimes feel that you are the only one in your community who holds ideas that are considered heretical by some?  You are not alone even if it feels that way.

Humanity is waking up.  Eyes are being opened.  Hearts are reaching out for a purer vibration of Love.  Minds are questioning longtime notions that seem to have served their purpose and no longer apply to the 21st Century world.  Every time you start to question something you or others once believed, you are joined by others who are also questing after new knowledge.  The Heart-Mind Center is the point of connection between you.  Play with this concept and explore.  Find someone to ask who can explore with you.

All are One.  Every question in you is also in others.  Find them.

And remember that you cannot shut down your evolving Heart-Mind Center.  If you are part of this community and are reading these words, then the time for you to evolve is upon you.  Reach for your highest good in all things.  Many of us are reaching with you and for you.  You are supported.  The changes that are coming will be good for you if you keep your focus on growth.

All are One.  You are never alone for that would be a violation of the Law of Nature that All are One.  Take my hand and together we can walk forward and upright.  Then we can reach out for other hands to bring them along with us.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Your Heart-Mind Center is showing!”

January 17, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Is your Heart-Mind Center active yet?  This is the energy between your Heart Center in the middle of your chest and your Throat Center at your throat.  The Heart-Mind Center is a new energy center that is forming in those who are moving forward in their path of personal growth.  Not all human beings are developing these Centers because they have shut down the pathways between their Heart and Mind and are not giving voice to new ideas for the coming times.

Have you ever been aware of energy in this part of your body?  Some people have talked of a ‘high heart center’ but we are speaking of a different energy vibration.  The Heart-Mind Center combines the Heart and the Mind in a new way.  For many generations of human lives the Heart or the Mind has dominated.  Spiritual students have worked to integrate the two -‘As a man thinketh in the heart’ – but we would tell you that the Heart-Mind has its own vibrational frequency and is more than a combination of Heart and Mind.

The Heart-Mind is a new way of thinking.  Through this new Center one can connect with the dimension of Consciousness and breakthrough what has limited the development of human beings for many ages.  New thought originates in the realm of Consciousness and can be grasped by those who have expanded their own understanding beyond what peoples of times before have been able to comprehend.  The Heart-Mind allows one to see beyond the limitations of old ways of thinking because the Love energy from the Heart is present in the development of ideas and thoughts and beliefs.

The New Human is evolving from a person of compassion into one who can love with detachment, understand without needing to be understood and who understands that the new compassion is born out of the concept of the connectedness of all beings, not from the idea of mercy toward the needy or the lesser beings.  This concept of the Compassion of Connectedness begins in an evolving Heart-Mind where the energies of the Heart and the Mind are not separated but are integrated and are greater than the sum of the separate parts.  Heart-Mind Compassion has a higher vibration than the charity of those who see themselves as separate from others.

And so we ask you, Is your Heart-Mind Center growing?  Are you developing your understanding that Love must be a component energy in the thoughts that you dwell on and the ideas that you share with others?  And do you understand that you must first love yourself so that you can develop this Heart-Mind Center?

Love of self is not selfishness nor is it vanity.  Loving yourself is the most intelligent thing that you can do.  Those who commit heinous crimes against others do so from a place where they cannot find the ability to love themselves.  Those who judge others harshly or condemn them are operating without loving themselves.  Many who are self-righteous are that way because they do not feel loved and cannot learn to love themselves.  None of these people is capable of Heart-Mind Compassion because they cannot love those they see as separate from their unlovable selves.

When one unites the two concepts of the Love for Self with the Compassion of Connectedness then one understands that All are One with The Whole.  Connectedness is not about many separate entities being tied together.  Rather it is that All are One with The Whole.  Unity.  There is no separation.  I cannot love you if I cannot love myself because we are One.

Too many people are focusing on differences and separation and otherness.  It is the work of those humans who are actively participating in the evolution of human consciousness to grow the energy of their Heart-Mind Centers by focusing on Love – of Self, of Others and of The Whole — and by allowing the ideas from the Heart-Mind energy to expand awareness in the World at large.

Do not worry about those who do not understand for you cannot convince anyone to believe who cannot accept the basic concept that All are One.  Spend your energy on your own journey of understanding and on expanding your own awareness.

Your reward will be greater Love in your Life.

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Choose Light and Love over Darkness!

October 18, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

When the world is filled with hatred there can be no peace. As long as there are those who choose to hate a whole class of other people, then there will be wars.

Common wisdom holds that wars are about money, power, land and greed, but we would tell you that these are the reasons that people want to start a war. It is hatred, fueled by propaganda, lies and staged events that allows the war to proceed.

Every war in history was conceived by parties who decided that a war would serve their purposes. They garnered support for their wars by creating enemies and generating the energy of hatred toward those enemies. The IDEA of the war preceded the trigger event that supposedly caused the war.

This is the Law of Attraction at work, but it is attracting darkness, not the Light.

We are sharing this with you today so that you can take conscious control of your thoughts of hatred. What can you do to spread the Light in the world? Do not be fooled by those who claim to be of the Light but who also talk about hatred. There is no God of Hate–the Divine Energy is an energy of Love. Hatred is generated by individuals who have become locked into the level of their personalities and who cannot see that all on Earth are spirits who are learning lessons. Hatred stems from a desire to avoid personal growth, to define a world according to a personal construction of what is ‘right’ with no allowance for other views. The people who hate are engaged in a contracted, regressive life on Earth. They have been so constrained that they have disconnected themselves from the compassion energy that wants to be expressed through them. The fact that there are so many people in these times who choose to hate rather than to love is very disturbing, for humankind throughout history has been seeking to expand in consciousness and Love is expansive energy. When so many people choose to contract in the energy of hatred then the people are inviting humanity to enter into another Dark Age.

The scales are getting ready to tip. Those who come from a place of Light, Love and Compassion can counteract the darkness that emanates from those who choose to hate. However, apathy is the antithesis of Light, for if people do not champion others, do not lift high the standard of the Light Bearers and work to counteract darkness, then the Dark Age can become a reality.

How do you sow Love and Light in your own little sphere of influence? Are you willing to work to counteract hatred or do you stay silent? Have you chosen to take action to increase the Light in the world or have you chosen to remain complacent? Remember that apathy on your part allows those who would sow hatred, separation and fear to increase their influence. Make sure that you are spreading Light in the world. Take control of your thoughts and increase the Light content of your thoughts, i.e., make them expansive thoughts of Love, Acceptance and Trust. Let Light shine from your heart through your eyes when you look at others. Even those who spread the darkness of hatred have some part within them, no matter how hidden, that is yearning for the Light, yearning for expansion, yearning to be Loved. You do not need to love the hatred but find love for the seed of Light that is within the person who hates. The spark of Divinity resides in every human being but many choose to starve that spark until it can no longer ignite. Moving from being a person with great capacity for Love to the choice of becoming one who hates is a sad choice but one which many make because they have been misled.

Have compassion for them as human beings but do not allow their darkness to spread until it overtakes the Light.

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Pay attention to the magic!

August 9, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Where is the magic in your life today?  Are you aware of magic at work around you all the time?  Or do you think of magic as something that a magician does in a show to fool your eyes?

When we speak of ‘magic’ here we mean the unexplainable that happens in your life with wondrous results.  A person you haven’t seen in a long time comes to mind and shortly thereafter you see them or receive a phone call from them.  You need to buy a pair of shoes and when you get to the store the exact shoes you were looking for appear and are on sale.  You need a doctor and your friend brings up the name of a specialist she thinks is an excellent doctor.  The list of possibilities goes on and on.

But do you think of these as ‘magic’ or do you still believe in coincidence?

Magic happens in your life because you project outward into the Universal Consciousness a thought that forms a picture that has an energy attached to it that creates magnetism.  This chain, from your thought to the magnetic energy associated with it, is the real magician in your life.  This process is at work in your life whether you are conscious of it or not.  How many times have you said, ‘See?  I told you this wouldn’t work out [or that bad thing would happen or I wouldn’t get what I wanted]!’  When you worried about something or thought that you wouldn’t get what you wanted you energized that picture of problems or lack and that is what materialized.

The Universe is not a magician trying to fool your eyes with complex tricks to make you feel bad.  The Universe is, instead, a kind and generous place, working to fulfill the requests that you energize from a place of purity, compassion [for self and others], and a desire for the highest good of all.  When you are focused on these things, you have much magic at your disposal.

So how will you use your powers of magic from this day forward?  Do you think you can separate yourself from greed and personal desires and lift your thoughts into the space of what is good for all?  Wanting something for yourself is not necessarily greed in a negative sense, but wanting something that is not in your highest good or in the highest good of all around you does not bring you the happiness that you are seeking.  Beware of the insidious nature of greed, for it manifests in cloaked ways, masquerading as being for the good of all.

For example, there are those who seek much money with the claim that ‘someday’ they will do something philanthropic with their millions.  They sound like compassionate souls but that ‘someday’ is not energizing the magic that comes into the life of someone who, without the millions today, is still helping the less fortunate.  Greed for power over others is damaging to the greedy person as well as the people who become subjugated to that greed.  It might not look like ‘greed’ as you would expect but condescension, arrogance, a ‘me first’ attitude, are all examples of greed for power over others.  This energetic does not create real magic.

We are not saying that there is anything wrong with money or power, per se.  They are both words that describe energies in the human world.  What one does with money, how one relates to money and how much power over the decisions of one’s life that money has – these are what define the energy of money.  Power, within oneself, becomes empowerment to fulfill one’s Soul Purpose on Planet Earth.  However, when one wishes to exert power over another, one is attempting to take away that other’s personal empowerment and replace it with complacence and submission to someone else’s will.  This destroys the magic in both people’s lives.

Strive to use magic in your own life as a way to make all of Life around you be a glorious expression of the power inherent in human beings to bring Light into the world.  Focus on the ways that you can feel more empowered in your life, even if at times it seems that your power has slipped away.  Find a single area in which you feel empowered and focus on that area.  Then notice other areas where magic has occurred and notice how empowering that can be.

Pay attention to the magic in your life and you will start to feel empowered in all areas.  The magic is there for you to find!

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: from “The Seven Whispers: Listening to the Voice of Spirit”

June 3, 2010 — Rosemary

“In the coming years, I believe that we in the West will be challenged as never before to look at the question of what we really need and what we have the obligation to offer in order to re-establish balance in the global human family.  We cannot escape the system the world is living in at this time.  We cannot get pure, or self-righteous, or use our spirituality to remove ourselves from the mess we are in.  We can only consider our actions within the circle of reciprocity.”

by Christina Baldwin

‘The circle of reciprocity’ – what a nice way to describe Karma!  Our actions, and those of others, are always occurring within this circle.  Judging or having compassion – for ourselves and for others – those are the choices.  Let us commit to live a Conscious Life by planning to choose compassion!

Rosemary

MUSE-INGS: Compassion and Karma

June 1, 2010 — Rosemary

“I don’t judge people!  Of course, I accept everyone just as they are!”

I know I used to believe that until I really sat myself down and examined the ways in which I really DID do the judging.  A lot of people who think of themselves as ‘spiritual’ find it very easy to decide that they know enough to judge others.  Maybe ‘judge’ seems like too harsh a word, but they do seem to strike the gavel and pronounce others to be good or bad, right or wrong.

I’ve written before about my mantra – Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given moment.  I truly believe that now.  But the hardest person to apply that to – is me.  It was easier to adopt this concept when I was focused on everyone else.  I worked with the idea for years to make sure I was applying it in all cases.  I pondered those times when I really struggled with a particular situation or person to apply this, but it is true for everybody if you look at the grander scheme of things.

In life, there is always a big picture but we are so often focused on the microcosm of our own vision that we forget to step up above the situation and look from the eagle’s perspective.  What else can the eagle see from on high that we, with our limited scope, are missing?  This made it easier to see even those people who were doing heinous acts as the carriers of lessons for others.  And I had to separate the person from the acts.  It doesn’t mean that we ever approve of or even accept one individual hurting another.  But the person who chooses to hurt another is usually making that choice because they see no other choice before them.  We can be unhappy about that choice and do everything in our power to help someone who has been hurt, but are we right to judge other people?  Or is the extent of our purview to examine only the acts, the behaviors, and not the person?

I think this is where we get stuck because it feels so difficult to separate the two.  But if we look at the person as a baby, somehow we can understand that little babies are not born to commit heinous acts against another human being.  Every single infant is lovable because they are breathing the same air that we breathe.  They are embracing life on Planet Earth.  But a lot of things happen to that baby along the way and sometimes their thinking gets twisted.  Somewhere along the way they believe something or are taught something or they respond to some stimulus that sets them on a path that takes them where they might not want to go.  And then they get stuck and see no other way to go.

This is where the concept of compassion steps in.  It is easy to have compassion for a friend who is going through a serious illness or a breakup or a loss.  But how can we have compassion for someone who has chosen to do something we think is wrong?  That is where compassion is most needed, not to coddle someone or to excuse their act, but to look beyond the little scene in front of us and to take the eagle’s view of the situation.  When you begin to understand the Laws of Karma you can see that a person brings a judgment onto himself or herself when they make the decision to act a certain way.  Karma will take care of the consequences.  Karma is merely cause-effect in action.  When I hear people worrying because someone is getting away with something, I think about how no one can escape the Laws of Karma even if it appears that they have.  We might not see the consequence but we can be assured that there are consequences.

And so can we be compassionate about ourselves, too, when we slip up?  Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given moment, even me.  When I learn to look around at my choices as stepping stones along the path of lessons we call ‘Life’ then I can be compassionate with myself as I hope others will be with me.  And I can look upon others with compassion, too!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Send the Judge on vacation and choose Compassion!

May 31, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

When you think of other people, are you ‘thinking’ with your mind or are you reaching out to them with your heart?  When you have a ‘thought’ of another person you are actually reaching out, energetically, to them across the distance between you, whether that is across the room or across the ocean.  You might even be thinking of someone who has crossed over to The Other Side and you can connect with them through the veil.

Knowing that your thoughts are creating energy connections, why would you ever think ill of someone else?  How many people seem to believe that their job on Planet Earth is to be the judge of other people!  We want you to think about that – is it REALLY your job to judge others?  When you have looked for guidance about your Life Purpose, is the answer ever really ‘to be the judge of everyone else’?

What if your true job were to love everyone else?  We’re not saying here that you must LIKE every person that you meet or hear about.  But what if you were to hold them in the energy of Love so that they might have the best chance to make the most of their own life, free of judgment from you?  This is a spiritual practice that is worth cultivating.

Many will tell you that you must learn to separate the person from the act or behavior, and this is true, for good people sometimes make choices that you might wish they had not.  But instead of judging a person for that choice, what if you were to hold them in the idea of love, that perhaps they have learned from that choice and would not make the same one in the future?  Could you find a more compassionate space in your heart-mind then?

People around you are judging all the time.  They often think that it is their job to judge YOU.  What do you want them to use for criteria?  Is there any part of you that likes the idea of their judging you from their [limited!] perspective?  No one person knows everything that is going on in another person’s life, no matter how close they are with each other.  No one knows all the thoughts that go through another person’s head before he or she acts or chooses a particular behavior.  No one else knows what you were thinking when you made a decision.  Why do you suppose that you can understand enough about another person to make a judgment about them?

Try giving yourself a vacation from being The Judge.  See what happens when you catch yourself about to say something judgmental about another person.  Reach for the compassionate thing to say instead and see how you feel.

Expressing compassion for another is not only the wise choice to make, it also brings a benefit to you.  The energy of judgment is narrow and constricting.  The energy of compassion is expansive.  What kind of energy do you want to have at work in your body and spirit when you have a choice?  Choose compassion.

And remember that what you put out into the world is the energy of what you attract to yourself.  If you reach out with compassion to others you will receive that expansive energy of compassion back into your own energy field.

Ahhhhh, doesn’t that feel better?

And so it is.
