What’s Your Umbrella? – Richard’s Commentary

June 18, 2014 — Richard

My “umbrella” has always been work. When I was in the corporate world I worked hard. I traveled a lot. I had responsibilities. I shouldered them well. As I look back on those 40 years I realize that I was often running away from the lessons, the real part of life I needed to learn.

Oh, sure, I needed to earn a living, keep the family secure, move ahead, up the corporate ladder – that’s what we do, right? But at what expense? How many of us escape into our work with these very rational motivations and miss why we are here in the first place, miss our real purpose?

I am retired now, still working hard, enjoying the work a great deal more and, yes, sometimes I still continue to use work as my umbrella. Why? Rosemary hits on one of the reasons:

All you have is NOW. The lessons don’t go away. The Universe wants you to have that success, satisfaction and fulfillment and puts lessons on your path so that you can clear the blocks and achieve your dreams. Why delay that?

It’s usually fear. But the rewards of doing the work, of learning the lessons, are so much greater than the pain of getting there that it’s worth it to start now.

Yes, it’s usually fear. I wrote about this in a post just last Friday, the 13th when I commented on the blocks we face:

I think the main one is fear – fear of letting go completely and relaxing into full awareness.

I believe my main purpose in this life is to become fully aware, to become enlightened. This is not an ego thing; I believe this is the main purpose of every human on the planet. I, at least on some unconscious level, have known this for a long time. And I have escaped from this, from the lessons that would bring me closer to enlightenment, and worked on all the other things humans do: job, family, earning corporate merits, duty, …

But the Universe wants me to have that “success, satisfaction and fulfillment…” The Universe wants us to become enlightened! The lessons are all there, strewn in our path to bring us into the light.

The ego doesn’t get this. The ego would rather escape into work and feed itself with the rewards of a job well done. So the Universe continues to offer the lessons. And I am beginning to listen. Sometimes the lessons are loud; we can only miss them if we continue to distract ourselves with our umbrellas. Sometimes the lessons are whispers. I’m learning to listen more closely.

I’m following the advice I wrote for myself in the June 13 post (link). And I am ready to “happily dance in the rain!”

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Love and Life Purpose

July 17, 2013 — Rosemary

This message is from The Divine Feminine as they continue instructing us on our role in the evolution of human consciousness.

“Dear Ones,

The most important energy that can be activated on Planet Earth to counteract negativity is the opening of the heart centers of individuals. Each person who opens their heart to shine the light of Love energy into the Planet will have more power than anything else they can do.

Fear shuts down heart energy because the human response to fear is to erect an armor that protects the heart from harm. Even the fear of physical harm starts with protecting the heart. Allowing yourself to feel fear for long periods of time or allowing fear to grow and deepen moves your energy away from the heart energy of Love.

Love conquers fear. Love of self protects one from the negative effects of fear. Love for self engenders Love for others and protects one from fear.

Finding one’s tribe of like-minded loving individuals also protects one from the effects of fear, for there truly is strength in numbers. Around the world you are seeing groups of individuals coming together to rise up against fear by saying, ‘No more!’

Their choice, however, is often to express the energy of violence rather than the energy of Love. This does not advance the evolution of human consciousness.

Many who are stuck in old consciousness see violence as the only choice in response to fear. They also choose violence as the agent of change when they wish to enlist the support of groups who are susceptible to the power of fear. Spreading the concepts of ‘hatred’ and ‘otherness’ powerfully instills fears in those who resonate at the lower vibrational frequencies.

What you will see in coming days are deepening clashes between the powers of Love and the powers of Greed.

Political parties have devolved from representing the people to representing greed. There is little room for caring and Love in the politics of nations around the world. Even those nations that are grounded in deep spirituality are succumbing to the energies of Greed-Fear-Violence.

The work of the enlightened ones and all spiritual students who wish to support the evolution of human consciousness is to spread the high vibration energy of Love into the energy grid of the Planet. This energy attracts assistance from other realms to amplify the energy on Earth.

The energy of Love must first be felt for self. This is not abstract; it is very specific and demands that each person is to love all elements of self at this present moment, including any challenges or circumstances in life. From this Love can spread a love of others exactly as they are in this present moment. Then the Love energy can be sent into Earth’s energy grid.

Love of self includes love of and expression of each individual’s Soul Purpose for this incarnation, for that is how the Universe’s Plan for humanity can work out.

One problem at this time is the vast number of people who are not focusing their energy on living their purpose. This is the first step toward saving humanity from possible destruction. Each individual is responsible for discerning their Soul Purpose and manifesting that in the world.

Many people are waiting for some external force to ‘fix things’ in their life. This stagnant, waiting energy creates a void to fill that invites in those who would dominate with ‘power over’ energy. The protection from this ‘power over’ one is to become empowered within oneself.

Personal empowerment starts with self-love and acceptance that couples with a focusing of energy on living one’s Soul Purpose. As more humans embrace this and become empowered, the Light in the world will increase and will spread to counteract greed and violence.

Until the day when those who are sleeping wake up, however, each individual must take responsibility for their own life. When you are living your purpose, others will be inspired by your life to discover and to live their purpose.

And so it is.”

MUSE-INGS: Awaken to Your Life Purpose

January 11, 2012 — Rosemary

The Time of Awakening has arrived! Each of us is being called to awaken to our role in the development and evolution of human consciousness. So the question is not, ‘Do I need to evolve?’ It is, rather, ‘How can I expand my consciousness at this time?’

What are you doing about expanding your consciousness? Do you have spiritual practices in place that support you in this endeavor? And I am not talking about religious practices but the deeper spiritual practices that connect you with the greater wisdom in the Universe, like meditation or journaling or participating in a spiritual community to explore the role of the human in the expanding Universe. Do you regularly ponder the bigger questions in life?

Or are you, as so many are, stuck in dealing with the details of daily life and planning to delve into the deeper questions later, when you have time? Friend, the time is NOW.

This does not mean that you must give away everything that you own and sit on a mountaintop awaiting enlightenment but it does mean that you must metaphorically do this by realigning your priorities so that you lift your awareness beyond the mundane and into the space where the greater manifests itself. Meditation is not the end in and of itself. It is the means by which one can expand consciousness by allowing you to tap into something that is greater than the mundane energies of daily life and into the spaciousness of greater awareness. Meditation also does not mean that you must close off a part of your intellect and become mindless, as some believe. No, it means that you become so mind-full that you use more of your perception, more of who you are, to interact with what is around you.

Are you in touch with your own greatness, what I call your ‘inner splendor’? Do you realize that you HAVE a Life Purpose, a reason that you are alive today? Do you accept that you are a part of the Human Family because you have gifts to share with the other members of this community and that the others are waiting for you to share those gifts?

Accepting that what I have said in the previous paragraph means that you accept responsibility for taking yourself into the larger role that you were born to play. No one becomes a human being to sit in isolation, never interacting with another human being, paying attention only to one’s own needs as an individual and not being concerned with the community of all other human beings on the planet, past, present and future. Each person has a role to play in the constellation of other human beings and in the environment of Mother Earth that welcomed him or her into life as a human.

The time has arrived when each of us must make our commitment to that Life Purpose in a public way. Do you know what your Life Purpose is? If not, then find out. Do you feel that you would like to help the others on the planet but don’t know how you can? Find out. You don’t have to start a huge foundation but you do need to know what it is that you came here to do and to be so that you can fill the gap you were meant to fill in the evolution of human consciousness.

This is why I do the work that I do, helping people to discover why they are here [their Life Purpose] and then helping them to expand their consciousness about the ways to manifest that purpose in their business or career, their relationships, their life. The time is now and each of us must become the person we were meant to be so that all in the human community can evolve. You have a role to play in the greater scheme of things.

I urge you to embrace that role by first identifying what it is and then creating the life that allows you to be who you came here to be. You will experience amazing feelings of fulfillment, the people and the world around you will be enhanced because you are YOU, and the future will look brighter, to you and to everyone else, because you decided to BE the person you were born to be.

Thank you.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are you willing to change your beliefs?

August 30, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

People are gathering.  Are you noticing this?  People are gathering with those who think the way they do.  They are not gathering to discuss ideas and issues.  They are gathering to fuel their emotions by listening to others who think as they do, with the same open-mindedness or closed-mindedness that they embrace.

But there are some who are finding their Tribes. They are finding those who also wish to uplift the World.  Those who are feeling called to assist all of humanity in growing, in evolving, are looking for others who feel a mission to do the same.  These are the groups who are gaining power in the World.

The media reports on the groups that are the most vocal, the most emotional.  Many media outlets, especially in the Western part of the World, are fueling this emotionalism by carefully determining what they will and won’t share with their audiences, picking and choosing so-called ‘facts’ and ignoring truth.  Some countries have always had government-controlled information channels but more countries are operating that way in this time.

What does this mean to you as you attempt to live a Conscious Life?  Here is what we would say to you.

Be very careful about what information, images, thoughts and ideas you embrace.  We are not saying you need to believe this person or that, but you must decide for yourself where your truth is in a given moment.  Can you be a solid rock in a moving stream of information and mis-information?  Can you at the same time be an open-minded individual who is willing to examine new information and, possibly, change your position if the information leads you to do so?

Those who hold fast to ideas that may have been true for them in the past, even when current evidence indicates that those ideas are no longer valid, are the people who are refusing to evolve and to grow.  The others, however, who continue to explore new ideas, may or may not change their beliefs as a result of that exploration but they are open to the possibility.  The latter are the ones who carry humanity forward to expanded awareness and evolved consciousness.

Let us look at what this means in your daily life.  If you are someone who has a difficult time letting go of old patterns and beliefs, do you limit your contacts to those who will support your non-growth?  Are you still socializing with people who behave the way you did in high school even though their behavior often embarrasses you?  Are you staying in relationships that do not help you to grow because they are familiar, even if not comfortable?  Do you shut down when someone around you expresses an opinion that does not agree with yours?  And, when that happens, do you make the discussion a personal attack rather than a discussion of ideas, impersonally evaluated?

None of these choices supports you in your personal journey toward fulfillment in your life.  Why choose to stay ‘stuck’ when you have the option to grow into more Light?

The path of personal growth demands that each individual continually seek enlightenment, that is, a growing Light within that reflects expansion of consciousness.  Everything that happens is an opportunity to learn something that can expand your Inner Light.  Are you willing to seek that?  Are you willing to examine the ideas you hold, consciously or unconsciously, and determine if they are appropriate for you today?  Are you willing to grow rather than to stagnate?

You are always at a point of choice in your Life.  You can choose to continue to believe what you have always believed or you can change those beliefs.  You can choose to hold the same thoughts about yourself or you can change the thoughts you embrace.  And you can choose to look around you for the lessons in the present moment or you can shut down and move sightlessly through your moments.  The choice is always yours.

We hope you will choose to look for the Light in every situation, to look for the path of growth, and to be willing to expand your awareness to examine new ideas, new thoughts, new beliefs and to embrace the new beliefs if they resonate with your own Inner Light.

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Exploring Human Consciousness

March 1, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

The world is rapidly moving forward, away from old ideas and ideals.  The people who are spearheading this forward motion are the spiritual leaders of Planet Earth.  Don’t be misled into believing that politicians and corporations and business leaders are the ones who are propelling humanity forward.  No, it is the spiritual leaders who are assisting humanity in its evolutionary course toward enlightenment.

Let us make it clear that we are not speaking of the religious leaders of the times.  Those who are speaking out for religions are too invested in advancing their agendas that depend upon the tenets and creeds of those religions to be a part of an ‘enlightenment movement’ within humanity.  They are offering their beliefs which might be appropriate for them but they are not universally appropriate.  For some people, they are being led into accepting beliefs from these leaders that do not apply to their Soul Purpose but they don’t know how to extricate themselves from their religious group.  Others are feeling drawn to examine the path of a different religion but are compelled for social or political reasons not to explore.  Some religious leaders are urging their followers to explore and expand their awareness but too many are narrow in their beliefs and believe that they must convince others to believe as they do.

Human consciousness is not expanded by those who hold strongly to a set of beliefs to the exclusion of others or even to the possibility that there might be some validity to conflicting beliefs.  This is true in many 21st Century religions.  There are also political and cultural groups that do not support the individual in exploring ideas outside of the ones offered by that group.  This, too, does not expand human consciousness.

What does expand consciousness is exploring ideas that are beyond what one understands in the moment.  The possibility that long-held beliefs might be supplanted by newer/other ideas allows a person to explore, to consider an awareness beyond the accepted, the familiar, even the currently approved ideas of one’s group.  Being ever open to the exploration of ideas invites expansion of consciousness because one can tap into resources beyond the limited ones that have been placed in a metaphorical box by those who refuse to continue the exploration.

Consider the teachers who are inviting people to explore within themselves as a frontier with no boundaries.  Contrast that with a teacher or leader who places the individual in a limited space and declares that any ideas outside of that space are not to be considered or tolerated.  Which situation describes one that is purposely moving toward expanded awareness and thus an expansion of consciousness?

Your role as a human being having an experience on Planet Earth is to assist all of humanity in expanding awareness.  Noticing that humankind has an inherent goodness that is waiting to be expressed frees an individual to express their own inner goodness.  It also assists one in observing the connectedness of all peoples of Earth, and allows individuals, communities and nations to accept and honor the differences among those peoples.

Not everyone on Earth at the same time must accept the same beliefs about those things that are beyond the limits of former beliefs.  Some human beings are expanding their awareness beyond what has been accepted in previous centuries.  Innovators, explorers, thinkers and philosophers are pushing the outside limits of human understanding.  They will not always agree on even foundational ideas, but they will all agree that there is much still to be learned and they will, therefore, not shut the door on the possibilities that exist.

The spiritual leaders of your day are the people who understand that there are concepts in the Universe that have not yet been explained on Planet Earth.  And they believe that you might be the one to grasp the next new concept and explain it to others!  They, therefore, support your exploration and the expansion of all human consciousness.

Be the explorer you were called to Earth to be!

And so it is.
