“You Have Been Brainwashed!” a commentary from Richard

December 13, 2012 — Richard

Brainwashed?  Yes, by one of the most powerful forces in my life (no, not Rosemary): my own ego!

As I have mentioned before part of my daily practice is to draw a couple of cards from my favorite decks to divine a sense of the energies of the day. One of my decks is the Crowley Tarot Deck and I use The Crowley Tarot by Akron and Hajo Banzhaf to continue to deepen my understanding of the cards. Today (Thursday) I drew the XVI of Trumps, The Tower. (I’ve included its image here). And my first reaction was: how cool to bring up this image of “destruction” asThe Tower I sit to write about brainwashing, its power and destructive potential and how to re-program from the brainwashing; in other words, destroy its impact and bring in the new images of self that are needed at this time!

This is 2012, and I am writing this on 12/12/12. Rosemary led a meditation today at 12:00 noon Eastern time, to activate and anchor the emerging energies of transformation as we draw near the Winter Solstice of 2012. What better time to let go of the old structures, the old energies, the old beliefs, the old brainwashing, those stories we’ve been telling ourselves for years, that may no longer hold any truth or power for us or over us.

And so I draw this card with its Tower, this burning, toppling structure that is an empty shell holding nothing for me as I move into the new energies at the end of 2012. Here are phrases from the guide book: “destruction of form…upheaval of values”, “enlightenment … that strikes like lightning and destroys … rigid ideas”, “overcoming one’s self”, “breaking open encrustations.” Wow, sounds like deprogramming to me!

The ego holds our beliefs, especially about ourselves. It is a wonderful friend, protecting us from both physical and emotional harm. It can also be our worst enemy holding us back when we are called to speak our truth, holding us to old beliefs when we receive new information that would help us grow, develop, evolve! The ego protects us but also holds us prisoner locked away in our tower. It is time for my tower to tumble!

And so I seek to burn down the current structures of my life, to sabotage my own ego, to break free of the bonds that fetter and hold me frozen in a place of safety but with little progress.

How? I will write more about my process and what is coming to me for tomorrow’s post. Meanwhile I continue all of my practices, which I have described in earlier posts. They serve me well and help me through the ego-generated blocks that no longer serve me. My practices are the “fire and kindling” I use to burn my imprisoning tower down.

Towers, so too brainwashing, can be good and bad. We need structures in our lives to hold us safe and help us hold the energy of the time; but when they impede our progress we need to burn them to the ground!

Burn your prisons down!

Oh, and happy New Moon (3:42 am EST, 12/13/12)! What better time to bring in the new energies of progress and transformation!

MUSE-INGS: You Are Here to Grow!

September 19, 2012 — Rosemary

We’ve often heard that we are ‘Spiritual beings having a human experience, but what
does that really mean?

The human experience has many dimensions to it and we cannot fully participate
if we don’t appreciate this dimensional aspect. We are not our bodies – we are
much more than that. We are not our minds – we are much more than that. We ARE
our Spirit which is our essence, and our body, our mind, our body-mind reflects
that Spirit into the world.

Sometimes it is easy to get side-tracked from this truth by focusing on the
situations that our physical body is experiencing in the physical world. It
helps to understand that the experiences in our physical world are merely the
classroom in which we are learning our lessons.

So many people are struggling with financial issues today and thinking that
they must be deficient or lacking or inferior beings if this is the case. Often
there is a judgment that ‘I’m not good enough’ or ‘I’m a bad person’ because I
don’t have the money/success that I want. This is not the case.

You are the Spirit who is perfect. Your Soul has just chosen this time for some
tough lessons that require you to learn them from a position of financial
concerns.

Are you feeling lonely? In a job that doesn’t work for you anymore? Not living
where you want to live? Having relationship or family issues? These are
circumstances. They are NOT who you are!

And consider this. If your Soul is inviting your Ego to create these
circumstances so that you can learn a lesson from them, then doesn’t it make
sense that your Soul has only brought you lessons that you CAN learn, and all
the resources that you need to learn them?

The Universe IS a benevolent place. We are fortunate that we get to live on
Planet Earth at this amazing time of trans formation! All who live on the
Planet in this 21st Century are being invited into the process of the evolution
of human consciousness. This is a momentous occasion in the history of the
Planet!

What will your contribution to this process be?

That is really the question underlying all of your circumstances today. Will
you advance the evolution of human consciousness by seeking to rise above your
situation and learn your lessons? Or will you join those who choose to regress,
to retreat into familiar territory and ignore [or try to] the progress of the
evolution of consciousness? This choice is yours to make.

But I suggest that you decide to hang in there with the rest of us on the path
of growth, for we all agreed to support you, before you or I was born. ALL of
us are here to support your growth, even the folks who seem to be bringing you
pain!

If you need help figuring out how to extricate yourself from painful
situations, then ask for the help. Someone is standing by to be called upon to
help you. If you are eager to move forward and want to know the next step in
your personal growth, then look around for the help available to support you on
your journey. The help is here!

Join hands with the other Souls who want you to grow! It’s what we all came
here to experience in these times of transformation. Hurray!

MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: Spirit, Soul & Ego

September 18, 2012 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Planet Earth is calling you to be your Greater Self at this time. What does
this mean for you?

It is time to stop thinking of yourself as a small person, imperfect, flawed,
weak or fearful. You are a powerful force in the Universe. You are creating the
world with your thoughts. What are you creating?

Many people want to deny responsibility for what is going on in the world
around them but this is not an accurate description of how the world works.

You are made up of three essences: your Spirit, your Soul and your Ego. All
three create the YOU that you are in the world today.

Your Spirit is the eternal part of you that transcends time and space and
personality. This Spirit is perfect and lives before and beyond this lifetime
of yours. This Spirit is the Divine essence of you and your Spirit recognizes
the Spirit in all other beings.

Your Soul is the essence of you that designs the syllabus for this lifetime,
coordinating with others in your Soul Group to assist each Soul in learning its
lessons. It is your Soul who is the director of your experiences in this
lifetime so that you can learn the lessons that you came to Earth to learn.

Your Ego is your personality for this lifetime, the body and circumstances that
your Soul chose to provide the opportunities for you to learn your lessons. It
is your Ego that creates situations in your life where you must choose your
reactions. Not all of these situations are pleasant but all are opportunities
for your growth.

If you look around yourself today you might be in the middle of a difficult
period and arguing that you did not wish to be in this circumstance, or you
might think that other people are victimizing you so, therefore, this is not of
your choosing. We would have you step up to a higher platform from which to
view this situation. Your Ego is offering yo ur Soul the opportunity to learn,
and the other Souls involved agreed with yours before you were born that they
would help you to learn.

Now we are not saying that it is acceptable for one human being to abuse
another or to mistreat someone, but it is up to you to decide how you will
respond to these situations. If you have suffered at the hands of another
person then you can choose to grow and move on or you can choose to continue to
suffer by staying attached to that person or situation, in thought or in
physical proximity.

Remember that you are always able to choose your response. Even when you feel
you have no choice, you are always able to choose how you think and feel about
a situation, especially if you are seeking the lesson to be learned rather than
giving your power to another person or circumstance.

And so your Soul is constantly inviting you to learn the lesson and move on to
the next one. If you consider that the Universe truly is a benevolent place
that wants to support you in your personal growth in this lifetime, then you
spend less time railing against what has happened to you and more time looking
for the support you need to complete a lesson.

What if your current difficult situation is really a manifestation of your
Soul’s agreement with another Soul for them to learn a lesson about compassion,
serving others, changing habits or harmful ways? Separate who you ARE from what
you THINK.

You are a Being of Light, that eternal Spirit that is perfect, in this moment
and in every moment. No one can take that away from you. Your Soul is allowing
circumstances to present to you the lessons that you need to learn. Your Ego is
participating by bringing those circumstances into your life. Your choice is to
learn the lesson and move on or to stay in those circumstances until you do.

You are always at choice!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Bless the Idiots – They’re Your Teachers!

February 15, 2012 — Rosemary

Every time I encounter the concept of the 3 levels of a human being I am struck by the thought that it all makes so much sense! And if people just understood this concept we could go about our business learning our lessons without causing so much distress to those around us and to Mother Earth herself.

And what about your Soul Group? What if you started looking at the people in your life as those who agreed to help you learn your lessons? Might you treat them differently?

I remember hearing a sermon several years ago by Rev. Jack Groverland at Unity of Boulder, the title of which was, ‘God Bless the Idiots in Your Life.’ Jack talked about how essential to our journey the people we call the ‘idiots’ are when we perceive their role in helping us to learn something about ourselves, our journey or about how the Universe works. Try adopting this attitude and see what happens to your blood pressure. I guarantee it will go down instead of up if you chuckle at the next person who could earn the title ‘today’s idiot’ in your life. Bless them for bringing a lesson into clear focus for you. Then be sure to learn something about yourself.

Knowing about the roles of the ‘spirit’ and Soul in your life can help you to put your own Ego into perspective, too. You have something to learn, in every moment, in every situation, in every relationship. That moment, situation, relationship exists just to help you learn a lesson. Your Soul presented that lesson to your Ego who engineered it so you can benefit. Are you willing to explore what the lesson is and to gather the learning available? That is what Life is – one learning experience after another.

Every situation is presented to you to help you along your educational journey. Have you ever cursed something that happened, like when the chair jumped out and tripped you, or the dog didn’t make it outside in time, or the store ran out of what you came to buy? Or how about the traffic that has slowed you down or the ‘idiot’ who just pulled in front of you and cut you off? Can you feel the energy you generate when you get angry at these things?

Now, what if you were able to, instead of cursing, realize that this latest experience is another opportunity for you to learn something? Your only responsibility is to figure out what it is that you are to learn.

These lessons might not be grandiose or give you the key to the mysteries of the Universe, but they can be profound in the effect that they have on your blossoming into full understanding of yourself as your progress on your life’s journey.

Life and Death. Studying in your Life School to develop consciousness and then graduation so that you can move on. It’s a pretty simple formula that we replicate in our education systems in society. And some of the best teachers we have in this Life institution are the ones we call the ‘idiots.’

Bless them.

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: The Spirit, the Soul and the Ego

February 14, 2012 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Life and Death. How often do you consider that these are inseparable choices on the continuum of existence? If your spirit chooses to embody in human form on Planet Earth for a Life-time, then your spirit is also choosing to experience the human event called Death.

Remember that you contain 3 different levels of energy in your being on Earth. The eternal part of you is your ‘spirit’ and this perfect energy of Light lives forever. Your spirit is your Life Essence and holds for you the connection to Source, to The All, to The Universe, to God or to Spirit, whatever you call the essence of existence.

Your spirit connects with your Soul who is on a lifetimes-long journey of evolution, learning and growing and having experiences that bring lessons in clear focus so that they can be learned and completed. Your Soul chooses the lessons for this lifetime and plans the route to get those lessons learned. Your Soul also has student helpers who are a part of your Soul Group, those souls who have agreed to participate together in the education system called Planet Earth.

The third level of energy in your being is your Ego, the part of you that is living out the physical life on Earth, paying attention to physical reality, making choices about whether or not to do, say, be something in a given moment. The Ego chooses the physical form of the lessons that the Soul is trying to learn.

Now, Dear One, if you are resisting the notion that your Soul experiences more than one lifetime on Planet Earth we would tell you that it is not material to this message. Whether the Soul lives one or many times on Planet Earth might not be something remembered by the Ego and so it really does not matter. What matters, though, is that you remember that your Soul is on the Planet Earth to learn lessons, in every moment, working to gain greater understanding of the cosmos, the planet, the humans and other kingdoms inhabiting Mother Earth, and what it means to be a part of something eternal. The goal of your lifetime is to expand your consciousness, your awareness of what is greater than your Ego in the Universe.

Given that you are a part of something much greater, and yet your Ego thinks it is the only energy that matters, you will sometimes experience a conflict between what your Ego wants and what your Soul needs to learn a lesson. The Ego lives with the decision-making power in the Earth plane and this is what has been named ‘free will.’ You can, through the Ego, choose not to learn a particular lesson when your Soul presents it to you. But be aware that your Soul will continue to present that lesson to you because, if you remember, that is its job, to get the lessons learned. So, if you choose to ignore the lesson to be learned, if you decide to put off really embracing the learning, then the next time your Soul will work harder to get your attention focused on completing the lesson plan.

Dear One, we wish you to learn and expand your awareness and grow in consciousness with as much beauty and grace as you can. However, if you choose to stay in darkness, if you choose to ignore what you could be learning, you may find that things get more difficult and messier so that you must face the lesson square on and learn what is there for you to learn.

We recommend that you move through your Life seeking out the lessons for yourself so that your growth can be accelerated. And don’t worry that you will finish up too soon and have no reason to keep living. Your Soul knows what it is doing and will always have some graduate courses available for you to work on when you complete a portion of this lifetime’s syllabus!

Death is the graduation ceremony for those who have completed a lifetime. Life, the eternal part, continues. The Soul reflects and examines the Life. And the cycle begins again.

And so it is.
