MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Can You Dream?

Dear Ones,

Fluttering hearts, anxious words, furrowed brows. We would rather see you at peace.

How do you find peace in the 21st Century world? There is always talk of war. There are financial concerns at all levels. There is much to worry about. And yet we would have you seek peace. Can you? Do you know how?

Peace is not something that relies on the circumstances around you being calm or exactly as you desire them to be. Peace comes from a deep place inside you that understands that the Universe is unfolding as it should. Truly believing that this is true will bring you peace.

And yet you look around you and the chaos and uncertainty make it difficult to bring your belief system into alignment with the ‘reality’ that you wish. We will give you the steps to accomplish this.

First, you must examine your life to understand that every step you have taken along the way has brought you to the place where you are today. This does not mean that you are to blame for all the circumstances in the world but it does mean that you have learned enough to manage what you must manage today. Nothing in your world is beyond your ability to handle. Nothing. You have what it takes to proceed.

Now, do you believe that? If you throw up your hands and say, “Woe is me!” then you will not draw on the resources within you to take care of your circumstances. You DO have what you need inside of you.

Next, we would ask you to remember that you are not alone. You are connected to a network of amazing people. Every single one of you reading these words has other people around you who are wanting to help you. You have supporters. You have people who wish for you to succeed in what you are attempting to do.

Do you believe that? You might look in your immediate circle and believe that others do not believe you can succeed, or they want you to do it their way, or they think that you can’t do anything right. However, you CAN succeed, and you CAN do it right, because you have infinite wisdom available to you when you connect to that wisdom within you.

Look beyond the naysayers. Find the like-minded people who want your success and who are willing to let you seek that success in your own way. They are in your life, even if they are hard for you to find sometimes. They are there, we promise you. Find one of them and ask for moral support.

Know that this is not about having someone just hand you what you want. We are saying that there are people who will support you as you create what you desire. There is a difference. And you know how to do what you must do. The answers are all inside you, when you drop the worry and concern and reach inside for the wisdom that is accessible there.

The last step is to take action in the direction of your dreams. When you move forward with a consciousness directed toward what you want the stumbling blocks move out of the way. Live consciously along the path of your heart’s desires. Take a step, no matter how small, in the direction of your dreams and the Universe will leap to your assistance.

THIS is reality. Your Soul Purpose is manifesting in your dreams. Follow your dreams. Allow the support you need to appear around and inside of you. Go forth and trust. All is ready for you to manifest your Big Dream NOW!!!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “No power in the ‘Verse…”

As fans of Joss Whedon’s ‘Firefly’ sci fi series we love the quotes from that clever TV show. When I think of an unstoppable power in the Universe, it’s Love.

How many phrases are there in our cultures that talk about Love?

“What the world needs now is Love, Sweet Love”

“Love makes the world go ‘round”

“All you need is Love”

The list goes on. And it is not just the fantasy of romantic love that is spoken of, but the unconditional Love of acceptance, non-judgment, tolerance, blessing.

Yet so many are angry, fearful and lash out at others in hatred. Why must we have laws against ‘hate crimes’? When did humans decide that they have the right to end another’s life because they don’t like them? Why is hatred/vitriol/anger the coin of the realm in talk radio? Why are so-called reality shows only supported if they include anger and drama and win/lose energies? Is this really what we want 21st Century humans to be identified with?

Think deeply about how you might contribute to this energetic in the world today. You don’t have to belong to the Ku Klux Klan to hold hatred in your heart. You don’t have to be the angry radio talk show host who fuels the anger and hatred of others by spouting vitriol, often based on lies but then the truth doesn’t matter either.

You just have to support this. Either by being a viewer/listener to increase the frequency of this energy being transmitted or by sending out your own energy of anger and hatred into the air around you. And you increase the power of this energy by ignoring that this is what is being transmitted out into the Cosmos from your Planet.

Think about living a Conscious Life, where you are careful of your own thoughts, emotions, words. You choose carefully how you live in relation to other people and to Mother Earth herself. You Love. And maybe you need to increase the energy of that Love so that you are a counteracting force for the Light.

When you become conscious that you are closing down, shutting the doors on your radiating Love energy, then ramp it up. Every time you think of what is written here, open your heart and send some Love energy into the Universe. When you are in discussion with another person, energize Love in the conversation. When you are in a disagreement, surround yourself with the Light of Love so that your words will be filled with that vibration and will not devolve into words of anger or lower vibrations.

Think thoughts of Love. You do not need to walk around in la-la land but the hippies of the 60s had a good idea about sharing the Love. “Make Love Not War” is more than a bumper sticker!

Choose to be the transmitter of Love out into the ‘Verse. We can counteract all those other energies by being conscious of the impact of our own transmissions. Let’s tell the rest of the Cosmos that not all humans live in fear, anger and hatred. Those of us who have chosen to live a Conscious Life are transmitting the energy signature of Love!

There’s ‘No power in the ‘Verse…’ as strong as Love!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: What are you transmitting?

Dear Ones,

From the perspective of Space, beyond the Solar System, there is an energy being emitted by the Planet Earth that is created by the human beings on her surface. Every thought, every spoken word, every broadcast, every emotion, creates a pattern in the energy signature of Planet Earth in the Cosmos.

What is your contribution to the energy signature?

When scientists have attempted to create a signal in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence they have chosen very deliberate signals to send out into Space. They know that the energy of those signals will transmit for great distances with no understanding of exactly who or what will receive them. Nor is there any idea of how these signals might be interpreted.

You, too, are a transmitter of energy into the Cosmos. Your thoughts are energy moving out of you and into Space. Your emotions create energy waves that also pulse outward from your personal energetic field. What you speak cannot be taken back because it rides out of you on sound waves that continue beyond you into Space.

What is your contribution to the energy signature of Planet Earth?

In the 21st Century it is time for individuals to take responsibility for the energy that is transmitting off the Planet. What is being broadcast into the airwaves from your TV and Radio transmitters? Are you comfortable with that energy being the signature by which your Planet is identified?

Think about the importance of little things like the TV shows that you watch. If this is what you wish your human society to be judged by, then choose your viewing time wisely. Whether you wish it to be true or not, you are identifying yourself with all that is being transmitted from Earth.

In this time in history, there is more hatred and vitriol being transmitted than ever before. The frequencies that are associated with this energy are of low vibration and do not represent a highly-evolved society. Is this what you want to be the signature of your Planet Earth?

You cannot merely ignore what is happening around you. Many people are choosing to feed the hatred and to increase its power to transmit. Anger and fear also feed this low vibration energy and increase the power of the transmission. Are you contributing to this?

The strongest power in the Universe is the power of Love. Can you project this outwardly so that the hatred, anger and vitriol are counteracted in the energy signature of Earth?

Increase the energy of Love in your heart. Ramp up the power of Love and send it outward. Transmit Love for others, for the Planet, for the history and future of the peoples of Earth.

Make your contribution to the energy signature be a counteracting frequency that cancels out the waves of low vibration energy. Visualize the Light of Love and imagine that it is radiating off the Planet and out into the Cosmos. Feel Love in your heart and think thoughts of Love. Live your Conscious Life filling your own energy space with Love by consciously choosing this vibration.

You have a lot of anger and hatred to counteract. But you can increase the Love and make the Planet Earth glow with the Light of Love so that anyone looking at her from Outer Space will know that the heart of humanity is one filled with Love.

Make it so.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Step away from the distortions!

Have you ever held a compass near a metal door and wondered why the needle wasn’t pointing to True North? I have. When doing feng shui for a client where I didn’t know what was metal I could feel something was off when the needle didn’t match what the Sun was saying. I would often have to step back to get a clear picture of what direction was actually North. The client often had an idea because they had lived there long enough to become in tune with the directions so the work I was doing with the compass needed to come closer to what they had experienced.

This is what we do in Life. We have experiences. We integrate them and determine some meaning or direction from them. Sometimes we dismiss them as unimportant or insignificant, but is anything REALLY insignificant? I don’t think so.

Every experience that we have pulls together all of our previous experiences, all of our knowledge and innate wisdom, and in the cauldron of our unconscious mind, leads us to move in a direction that has been influenced by that experience. This is true even when it is an unconscious process.

Living a Conscious Life means that we bring unconscious processes into conscious awareness so that we can examine them for meaning.

We hear a lot about ‘truth’ these days and it is very difficult to discern the ‘truth’ in the news or world events. Because we cannot be privy to every world event and all the backstory that goes with it we cannot really understand what might be true and what is being shaded, spun, omitted so that what we hear and think is true might be far off the mark. Every person, in every country, is hearing information that might or might not be valid. What does this mean for you?

The place to test the information is inside you.

Your intuition is your ability to check what is the Truth for you. If you have a ‘gut feeling’ that something is not right, it is not right for you in that moment. If you have a ‘gut feeling’ that this is magnetically drawing you in its direction, then you are picking up something that is North for you in that moment.

When I teach about intuition I don’t have to teach much about getting those feelings I call ‘intuitive hits.’ What people need to learn is to TRUST those intuitive hits and gut feelings. Everybody knows what it feels like to get the hit – trusting it enough to follow through and take action is the important point.

So when you ask yourself, ‘What is my Truth today?’ what are you really asking?

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Where is True North on your personal compass?

Dear Ones,

It is a time to value Truth for yourself, for society, for the unfolding of Consciousness in the Universe.

What is your Truth? Not the truth about circumstances or the truth about something that someone else has told you, but the Truth that is the essence of You and Your Life.

Look inside you and discern what the Truth of You is today. Is it different from the Truth that was you yesterday or last year or when you were much younger? Can you see how you have grown in an understanding of Truth as its meaning in your life?

Who are you at your core? Who are you conscious of as a being on Planet Earth in these days? Who speaks through your mouth? Who thinks your thoughts? What do you believe and why do you believe it?

Living a Conscious Life invites you to constantly examine these questions, for even when you feel you have been ‘working on yourself’ you are in a spirally process of unfoldment, not in a linear exercise that will reach completion so you can ‘get on with your life.’ Rather, living a Conscious Life means moving ever forward and upward, forward and upward as your consciousness evolves and as you interact with the world around you in your daily life.

So examining your Truth is an essential part of living your Life Purpose, for who you are and how you are approaching your life informs the manifestation of your Purpose in the world. Remember that all the other people on the planet also agreed to share Planet Earth with you at this moment. Every person of consciousness is living in 21st Century Earth Society to perform the role of their Life Purpose and every other person agreed to be the classmate of that person, living their own Life Purpose and learning their own Life Lessons.

Your Truth, the essence of who you are, includes the ‘why’ of your being born. This is your Life Purpose, the Purpose that your Soul chose for you before you came into Mother Earth’s loving arms, the Purpose that you agreed to live so that others around you might have the atmosphere they need to live their own Purpose. This is your Truth.

Continue to examine yourself and your life so that you can grow in Consciousness. Every time you encounter a statement or a situation or a relationships that does not resonate with you, that does not match what your intuition is telling you is the Truth for you, then you must re-examine your experience and ask why you are in that place in that moment. There is always something for you to learn and often the experience is designed so that you can re-affirm what is Truth for you.

Do not allow yourself to be pulled off your path into someone else’s truth when it is not resonating with your Truth. You are the one who is growing and evolving according to your own evolutionary journey and your intuition is your guide along the journey. Your Truth becomes the North of your compass, always showing you the direction for you to follow. As you shift your energies, just like Planet Earth, your compass finds your Truth and keeps you steered in that direction.

Just as you would not force a magnetic compass to the ‘N’ point that you want, instead of the one it is finding through it’s internal mechanism, do not allow someone else to pull your compass needle off your Truth. This is yours.

Find the Truth within you and follow your own journey.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: What? Me Worry?

Some of us are old enough to remember Mad Magazine and Alfred E. Newman with the ‘What? Me Worry?’ smile on his face. How nice it would be to adopt this attitude toward all our problems!

I see worry as a huge drain on energy, away from the energy pie of today. Each day we start with one energy pie. We choose each day how many slices to make in that pie and to which activities we are giving those slices of pie. Some days we might make huge slices and work on only a couple of projects. Other days, we cut up slivers and divvy them out to lots of different activities or people.

When worry takes over, we cut a big slice of our energy pie and throw it away. Worry is planning energy, creating a mind wrapped around a possibility that has not materialized. And, knowing about the Laws of Attraction and Manifestation, we then energize the very thing that we don’t want to have happen. Bummer!

Since great worriers are also great planners, (they have to be to be so good at creating a picture of the future that hasn’t happened yet!) what if you took your energy for worry and turned it into the energy of planning for the outcome you desire? Much more fun to picture a happy desired outcome than a dismal one!

This is the difference between saying to yourself, ‘I hope I don’t catch that cold’ and ‘I plan to stay healthy.’ Since the unconscious mind can’t understand a negative without storing a picture of the phrase without the negative, the ‘I hope I don’t catch that cold’ thought creates and stores a picture of catching the very cold you don’t want to have! Much better to think, ‘I plan to stay healthy’ and then create a mind picture of staying healthy.

Worry works like that. You must create a picture in your mind of the horrible thing you are worrying about. Think of the energy it takes to create that scenario and plan all the details about which your are worried. Now take that energy back into your energy pie and devote it to something more productive in helping you to lead your richest life.

Whatever you are worried about might be a real problem in your life. I don’t mean to diminish real problems. But taking a slice of energy pie and devoting it to worrying about something that might happen does not use your most creative energy in the most productive manner. Instead, how about using the feeling or worry as a signal that your creative juices are about to start flowing and you want to choose to direct them in a positive way, rather than in the negative direction of worry?

Plan for the success you desire. If you are worrying about a certain outcome, then energize a different one with your thoughts. If you have a problem that you are worrying about but have not made any progress in solving, then change how you are thinking about the problem and look for some solution to ponder instead of the problem. Even the most outlandish possibility might hold some clue to the optimal solution.

And PLAY. Sometimes worry just indicates the need for you to get in touch with the energy of play. Make something. Play with kids. Get out crayons and paper and draw something. Get your hands in the dirt or the dough or the clay and form something. Play a game, sing a song. PLAY.

Get those creative juices flowing and apply them to the possibilities that hold the most energy for you. You don’t need to ignore the problems. The choice isn’t between worrying and ignoring the problems. The choice is to be your creative self and solve problems rather than to worry about them.

Explore the field of all possibilities with the energy of play and watch the wonderful solutions appear!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Worry or Create a Solution? The Choice is Yours.

Dear Ones,

We are aware that many people spend much of their energy in the space of worrying. We would ask you to consider that worry is the non-productive use of creative energy. Let us help you determine a better use of that creative energy.

First, you must become familiar with the energy of PLAY. Watch the little children around you. They do not worry when they are at play. They are completely present to the moment and to what is happening in that moment in time. They are fully available to whatever creative impulses they experience in that moment. And they are not worried about what will happen in the next moment.

When you are admonished to ‘become like the little children’ it is a recommendation that you find yourself in the energy of the innocence of the moment. This moment now does not contain the energy of other moments except when you bring those energies into your mind. This present moment is not the accumulation of all your feelings from the past or all your worries about the future, for the past and the future are contained in this moment as you define your life.

Every moment that you have lived has moved you forward into the next moment. When you have been fully present to the Now you have used all your resources in the appropriate moment to access the best of yourself, your history and your future, to bring that moment into fulfillment. However, there are times when worry has taken your resources and your energy into some unspecified future time and aligned you with an unfulfilled possibility that distresses you.

Why would you choose to do that? For many of you, the answer is that you are seeking solutions to life’s problems. We would ask you to examine whether or not that is the entire truth, for worry is not your most resourceful state. Rather we see that worry is using your creative energy to create ‘what if’ scenarios that are merely a selection of the possibilities in the field of all possibilities before you. Worry is not planning – except as it is planning for the distressing ‘what if’ scenario.

Now let us suggest that you take the creative energy in this present moment and create that which you desire. Some of you might feel that worrying is such an old, familiar companion that you are not ready to let go of it. Others might be thinking that you choose not to worry and therefore ignore addressing the problems that might cause you to worry. Neither path will bring you solutions nor will you create the life you desire.

Take a problem that you are wrestling with at this time and look upon it as an opportunity for the expression of your great, innate creative energy and talents. Even if you do not consider yourself to be a creative person, you are. You have created the very life that you are living today by making certain choices along the way. And you have the power to make conscious choices about your future possibilities to create a new life every day you are alive.

With a problem in mind, give yourself permission to approach the problem from different angles, some that might seem outrageous to you and some that are distasteful. Try to play at the edges of the reasonable choices before you, for this is where the most creative problem-solving takes place. Now look at the problem from the field of all possibilities, including the most outlandish, unbelievable, amazing possible outcomes. What ideas crop up for you to consider? Is there a new way of looking at your problem that you can see from this vantage point?

Sometimes the only thing that is necessary is that you step out of worry and move into problem-solving energy and the creative ideas will start to flow. And sometimes you need a rest from the worry so that there is energetic space in which the solutions can start to appear.

No matter what the problem is, spending your energy in the world of worry does not bring your most creative energies to bear on solving the problem. Become like the little children, be fully present in the moment, and create the solution you desire so you can live your richest life!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Where’s your ‘Lens of Learning’?

Life can certainly leave us myopic when we focus only on our self and what we want. We can forget that we are living in the Earth School so that we can spend this time on the Planet to facilitate our Soul’s growth. Maybe we each need to wear a magnifying glass necklace (I happen to own one!) to remind us of our possibilities for learning in every situation.

When people work with me in the intensity of A Day With Your Muse, a full day session wherein we work through a process to bring clarity to their vision and a plan for implementing that vision, we often spend a lot of time working through family of origin issues or internal blocks that they might not have realized were holding them back. So, even though they think they are focused on their business or their future, it is the personal growth work that allows them to experience the quantum leap forward in their desired success.

What are you not learning today? What can you not see clearly because you think that ‘personal growth work’ means setting aside time to meditate or journal or have counseling/coaching sessions? Maybe the learnings are present all the time and all you have to do is notice them.

Remember, we human beings are learning machines. Watch a baby. Every moment she is learning something new. Every step a toddler takes is feeding information to her about what walking is all about, and sometimes what it is NOT about!

If you think that you do not have time and/or energy to devote to working on personal growth at this time in your life, then think again. Look at every item on your to-do list as a task under the category of ‘Personal Growth Work’ and the actual task you are accomplishing as the classroom in which you are doing the learning. The energy is already expended. The focus can be two-fold: get the task done AND learn something for your personal growth.

Maybe our brains aren’t really that great at multi-tasking, but we are certainly good at creating meaning in our efforts and experiences. We learn what works and what doesn’t work. We try something. We interact with others and create ways to be successful in those interactions.

And we can learn something about ourselves, about how the world works, about what our roles are, and about how we can continue to grow through every experience in our daily lives.

MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: Where’s the Energy for Personal Growth?

Dear Ones,

The most important task to which you can devote your energy is the project of personal growth. It does not matter which business you are in, what your relationship status is, how old you are or where you live. The energies of these times require that you be about the work of examining your inner self and your inner life.

Do you have the energy to do this important work? Or is all of your energy being drained by day-to-day tasks and leaving you exhausted at the end of the day? Are you devoting energy to non-essential tasks as a way of avoiding doing the personal growth work that you are ready to do?

We wish you to know that EVERYTHING else that you are doing falls into the category of ‘non-essential tasks’ when compared to your personal growth work. Your work tasks. Your household tasks. Your family responsibilities. All of these are non-essential when compared to the work you are to be about to grow yourself and to learn your Soul lessons.

This is not to say that there are not important tasks to do in those other areas, but even as you go about your work you are to be looking for the lesson to be learned while you are doing it. Are you dealing with personal relationship issues? Instead of looking at those issues as isolated from your personal growth work, start examining them for their contribution to your growth – learn the lesson. Instead of waiting until the household chores are done, look for what is to be learned while doing them. For example, are you doing chores that someone else in the family might take over as they learn to share responsibilities? Are you escaping something by committing your time to the chores rather than to something else that might be more enriching?

Likewise, when you are doing your work, are you working on how you can grow at work rather than how you can get through the day so you can relax?

Remember that every situation in which you find yourself is a learning opportunity for you. Every situation at work holds some treasure for you to experience and from which you can grow. Every relationship is a crucible in which your personal growth is developing. Create for yourself the ‘Lens of Learning’ so that you are constantly reminding yourself to look for the lesson, no matter what task you are engaged in and no matter what is happening around you. There is always something to learn.

Bless the other people around you for bringing those lessons to you within the context of your interactions. You can do your personal growth work within the timeframe of the other activities on your schedule. There is no burden to this work – it is the purpose of living a lifetime on Planet Earth!

And so we would ask you to look to your current situation and schedule to find the energy to do the personal growth work that is yours to do. Of course, you must sometimes find time to go inside in the quiet times to reach those places that need to be examined, to find the ‘stretch points’ that take you in quantum leaps in your growth. For this work you might engage a guide to assist you and to hold the Light on the work you are doing. But you can take your current calendar and find the perfect opportunities for personal growth by simply employing your ‘Lens of Learning’ as you look at the tasks on your to-do list.

Use every opportunity presented to you as an opportunity for growth!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Who is Your Tribe?

The Mystic Messages have had a lot to say about ‘community’ this year. I’m guessing because we human beings need to be hit over the head sometimes before we get the message we need to hear.

This community of Colorado Springs decided to choose to have half the street lights turned off rather than to raise property taxes a penny to keep them on. The city made national news for that decision. Then our neighbor’s daughter hit a deer in the road because it was a stretch with no street lights and she couldn’t see the deer until it was too late. This poor high school student was very disturbed by the incident.

Fortunately, she was not hurt but the damage could have been much greater. Was that worth keeping a penny per some unit of assessed value? When does the good of the community become more important than the penny?

Why do you suppose that we’re being told so much about ‘community’? Why do you think it’s coming up again and again for us to look at? What happens inside you when you think of the word ‘community’?

For some, the word evokes a strong sense of belonging, of being a part of a tribe joined for the common good. For others, it brings up a fear based on an experience of suffering at the hands of a community that abused or ignored or in some other way was not a good fit for the person. Others think of community as being a group who want to take something away from them that is ‘mine’ – picture here a 2-year-old saying that word with all the ownership a tot can express!

What does ‘community’ mean to you? And can we define/redefine it so that it moves us forward in the evolution of consciousness?

I think it’s important for us to grasp the concept of our being social animals, that we live in community with others whether we like it or not. Unless you are a hermit living in a cave at the top of a mountain somewhere (and I suspect that if you are reading these words, you are not that!) then you live in a community of individuals – your neighborhood, your social tribe, your work colleagues, your family. How do you relate to the others around you?

More importantly, have you found your tribe of like-minded folk with whom you can let your hair down and be your authentic self? Are you a member of a community where people share values and ideals and are exploring how they can live a richer life while helping others to do the same? Do you know how to find that tribe for yourself?

There are intentional communities springing up in many places, including online. Many times there are serendipitous connections being made that lead to the forming of a community. Sometimes it takes intention on the part of one or some individuals to make it happen. And maybe, just maybe, you are the epicenter and it is time for you to gather around you the folks with whom you can relate.

Each individual is a part of multiple communities and the good of the community rests on the shoulders of the individuals who make up that community. If you think that your desires should trump the needs of the communal good then you really need to examine your responsibilities to that community. We human beings need to look beyond ourselves to make contributions that acknowledge our connectedness, not our separation.

Do the inner work to examine your life in this context. What communities are you a part of and what is your role? What communities do you want to become a part of and what is your opportunity to create that connection?

Who is your tribe?
