Dear Ones,
Open your heart to your old self. Forgive all that has gone before this moment in your life. Allow your life to be the unfolding moment in which you find yourself now, right now, in whatever may be your circumstance, your location, your relationships. NOW is the most precious gift you can give yourself.
If your heart is heavy because of things in the past you are taking energy away from the NOW. If you are worried about things that might happen in the future you are taking away energy from the NOW. If you are angry or hurt or upset about something that someone else has done in the past or that you did or did not do, then you are giving away your power in the NOW to a time that cannot truly hold a claim on this moment. If you are anticipating something that has not materialized yet you are giving away your power from this moment NOW.
Stop and breathe in the present moment. Allow all of your consciousness to flow into this moment NOW. Open your heart to the YOU in the NOW. No matter where you are sitting or standing or walking, no matter who the people are who surround you or whether you are alone, no matter what the other events and circumstances of your day might be – PAUSE, BREATHE, and LOVE YOURSELF JUST AS YOU ARE IN THIS PRESENT MOMENT.
All of your power exists within you NOW. All decisions that must be made are existing within you with all of the wisdom that you can access NOW. All of your relationships depend on the consciousness that you hold about yourself NOW.
Your Soul knows your Purpose and your Heart knows your Path. Together you have all that you need to have to exist fully in and through this moment NOW.
Think about that statement. You have all that you need to exist fully in and through this moment NOW. BREATHE. All wisdom is within you. All that you need for NOW is here in this moment with you. Hold that thought and love yourself.
Too often it is easier to focus attention on something in the past or something that might or might not appear in the future, when the true gift you give yourself is to be fully present in the moment NOW. Take the breath that connects you to the NOW in which you find yourself. Breathing the air of Mother Earth connects and grounds you in the moment that made you a human being – your first breath of Mother Earth’s atmosphere, when you were no longer a part of your biological mother but became a human being on the surface of your Mother Earth.
Being fully human means that you stay connected to Mother Earth through breathing her atmosphere, her vital air, into your body and connecting yourself to your life on the Earth plane. Bring your consciousness into this moment to take full advantage of all that exists in the NOW for you. Expand your awareness around you to absorb all that surrounds you. Revel in the gift of the NOW.
Love yourself in the NOW. Forget and forgive yourself in the past. Allow the future to unfold as it will, as a carpet of new NOWs ready to welcome you into their gifts.
Your power is yours right NOW!
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: The ‘Consciousness Relationship’ and You
August 1, 2012 — RosemaryExploring ideas has always been a fascination of mine. Whether it is a mundane matter or a lofty abstract concept, I can get lost in the exploration.
In college, as a math major, I was assigned a paper to write on ‘infinity.’ What a concept! I explored and explored and asked for an extension because I became so absorbed in the exploration. I shared my ideas with classmates, professors, the priests (who were, blessedly, very open-minded when I talked about consciousness with them!). How exciting it was to have the space in which to question and explore ideas!
How different I might be if I had not been supported in being the explorer of ideas that I was as a college student! How different someone around you might be if you do not allow them to be explorers, secure in the knowledge that you will share the exploration with them without judging or condemning or trying to get them to see your point of view!
We are all called to be in relationship to all others. Perhaps the ‘Consciousness Relationship’ is one of the most important.
The level of consciousness in which one operates, or, which one has attained, influences how one lives one’s life. It is easy to see that the people who walk around with their inner eyes closed are living a very different life from those whose eyes have been opened and who are explorers of ideas.
Do you realize that you can choose to find others who live at the same level of consciousness or a higher one?
This is not about judging people but it does include the discernment to notice when you feel that you are being accepted as an explorer or judged harshly for not being a part of the crowd. What groups have you joined where you feel that you can be yourself and explore ideas without worrying about judgment? In which groups do you feel that you must be extremely careful about what you say lest you create a backlash that stops the creative exploration of ideas until you agree with the others?
Discern how you feel, without judging where others are on their individual paths. Find the group of people who support your exploration of ideas. Like-mindedness is not the same as closed-mindedness. I like to think of the groups of like-minded folks that I hang out with as being those most open to exploration. Fanatics and fundamentalists of any shape can be closed to the possibilities that are before them.
And a lot of people who are closed-minded are merely stuck in their own emotional ‘stuff.’ It can be sad to see someone who is in a stuck place and rather than exploring options for moving beyond their ‘stuck-ness’ choose to hide within that stuck place. When the time is right, however, they will have opportunities to explore possibilities. When they are ready, there will be teachers available and they will either reach out or not.
When YOU are an explorer, you model for others the possibilities that are before them. When YOU are available as a teacher, someone who has been stuck has the possibility of becoming an explorer.
Be an explorer of ideas and hold out a hand to help others. This is a group activity! And each of us has a responsibility to the evolution of human consciousness to be that explorer of ideas!
