Leap! – Richard’s Commentary

March 19, 2014 — Richard

Somehow it doesn’t seem like we have leapt into Spring yet! We are only a day away from the Equinox and there is still snow on the ground from our Monday storm. The temperatures are slowly rising. But then did I hear something about snow next week?! I don’t know about you but I am ready to leap!

Or am I? There is a higher, broader “leap” The Divine Feminine are asking us to take in their message Rosemary channeled. And it’s a challenge; here it is:

You are being called to bring your heart, your feelings, your emotions into your daily interactions because it is through your heart that you can access your intuition. By allowing yourself to ‘feel your answers’ you can better interact with other people from a place of heart-felt love.

This is not the smallest task The Divine Feminine has asked of us! I think (note that word I just wrote) that it is difficult to “feel answers.” It is especially difficult for men to “bring our hearts” into daily interactions. And yet how else can we ever hope to make progress into becoming truly 21st Century humans?

While we wait for Putin’s next move in the Crimea/Ukraine arena of what we thought was a long-dead cold war, it is a challenge to bring my heart into the process and feel what is going on there. When I look at Putin I see a cold, hard, calculating menace to world peace. But where is my heart in this? Can I treat Russia as a being and accept that this may only be a defensive reaction? Is the heart of Russia threatened by the potential encroachment of NATO and Western Europe into her sphere of influence? Can this be more of a “heart reaction” than a cold, calculating grab for power?

What if I look at all of my interactions, day-to-day, ordinary-to-extraordinary, from my heart? Some days this is easier than others. Tonight Rosemary and I are going to a monthly social meeting of a local LGBT community. We always have a good time with these wonderful people. It is so easy to come from the heart in this group, to think through the heart and be genuine. I just finished assembling all of our tax return information to be sent off to our accountant. I will mail the package with heart-felt thanks that my taxes are going for the best our governments can do for me and us (and I may even get a refund!).

As I write this I am writing from the heart. I am thinking of all of you, dear readers, wherever you are, and asking you to take a moment and think of two aspects in your life now. First think of something very pleasant, maybe some future event that you are looking forward to, and move into your heart to sense how you will feel. Hold that feeling. Now move into a situation you are avoiding (maybe it’s even pulling together your tax information!). Can you take that warm-heart feeling into this unpleasant situation and get a sense that you can come at this task from your heart? This takes practice, I know. But it is worth the effort!

It is time for change. It is time for humans to mold the world in the image of a heart! We can do this one person at a time as we, together, make the leap. And as The Divine Feminine urge:

Be the evolutionary human being that you were born to be. Make the leap.

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Which century do you live in?

April 24, 2012 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Life on Planet Earth has changed much in the last few generations. If you can imagine what life was like in the 19th Century and then through the 20th Century you can see the amazing shifts that have occurred in the daily lives of individuals around the globe.

Now look around you at the 21st Century. During these days you have more contact with others around the globe instantaneously than your predecessors were able to create across months, years or even lifetimes. This gives you access to ideas and feelings and cultures that may differ from yours in significant ways and allows you to consider possibilities that previous generations would not have been exposed to.

What will you do with this? Will you continue to stay in the box that earlier people lived in because they could not see beyond that box or will you expand your thinking into new possibilities?

This expansion is what is called forth in the energy of the new Century and 2012 is a pivotal point in that energy shift.

No longer can provincialism live because people and cultures are no longer isolated. No longer can one country operate as if it were the only one in the world because all other countries have eyes trained on the rest of the world. Events happening on the other side of the globe are instantaneously reported and therefore become a part of the consciousness of all. Happenings cannot be ignored for months or years because they occur at a distance – they must be faced and dealt with immediately.

There are advantages to this aspect of life in the 21st Century. For example, weather issues and natural disasters can be predicted and warnings can save lives. Victims can receive aid [and you can assist from afar] because you learn about a situation while there is time to do something. Countries can cooperate to respond to a problem or to work together to advance the interests of all without having to handle issues in isolation. And people can travel across the globe with ease and regularity to extend human contact beyond what was possible even 100 years ago.

Friendships can now span the globe. Families can live at a distance from each other and yet technology allows members to ‘see’ each other and to stay connected in meaningful ways that do not rely on letters that might take months to travel between them.

Each individual on Planet Earth in the 21st Century is a member of this connected community. Each person is a part of every other person’s Earth Family. Each has the support of the global community to explore and expand awareness through global connections. Students can easily study subjects that were not available to them for study in earlier generations. And all human beings can be students of human nature and evolution.

Consciousness does not expand in total oblivion of what is going on around oneself. Conscious evolution requires each person to learn about the world and to explore it. You are inhabiting one of the planets of the Universe. Learn what you can about that planet and the other inhabitants while you are all members of the Earth Community!!

And so it is.

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Feel Your Way to Empowerment

September 20, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Where is your heart today?  Are you following your heart where it wants to lead you?  Or are you following a quest for money, pride, acclaim, power?  We would tell you that your heart is the best navigator for your path in life.

Many will tell you that you must follow your mind/head, not your heart, but your heart is your connection to the greater source of energy in the Universe, not your mind/head.  Now we are not talking here about whims or infatuations or shallow emotions.  But if you really reach deeply into your heart you will start to understand that your innermost feelings are expressions of your innermost spirit in the world.  You will be led to express yourself if you are heart-centered.

Look around you at your life today.  How much of your heart is evident in the life you are living?  Are your goals coming from a place of understanding your role in the greater scheme of life on Earth or are you focusing on little goals of how much money you can make or the next promotion you can gain at work?  Are you surrounded by people who uplift your spirit when you are with them?  Are you living from a place where your heart can guide your daily choices?

The easiest way to access your deep heart feelings is to close your eyes, take a deep breath, and bring all your attention to the area of your heart in the center of your body.  Breathe into this area and allow images to appear in your inner vision.   Don’t judge what you are experiencing, for many of you expect this to be a certain kind of picture or sound or feeling but you must learn to allow the experience to unfold as it wishes to unfold.  Ask this feeling or image to share with you a message that will help to guide you today.  And then listen or look or feel until you understand the message.  It might be as simple as to ‘Feel today whatever you need to feel’ or ‘Look around you for ways that you can help others to feel better about themselves and their lives.’  Just allow the message to appear without judging what comes up.  And if you find there is no apparent message then rest assured that your unconscious mind has accepted what it needs to accept.  When you open your eyes embrace your message and move into the rest of your day.

There are people who have opened their heart to the world, not in a way that makes them vulnerable but in a way that makes them very powerful.  Open hearts allow love energy to flow outward and to magnetize the attraction of love energy to flow inward as well.  One who has mastered a connection to deep heart feelings interacts with other people in a way that is empowering to everyone involved.  Human beings are not meant to live soulless, heartless lives but often the media and popular wisdom indicates that this is not the case.  People in power often seem to have no ability to show compassion because they put some other value above an expression of heart values.  War does not arise from deep heart feelings but from a pursuit of something other than that which stems from the heart.  Abuse happens in society because someone has been cut off from their feelings and they allow themselves to act in inhumane ways.

There is much that we could say about what happens when one does not connect with their deep heart feelings but we would rather you see that all around you – your work or business, your relationships, your life in general – benefits from your deepest connection to your heart.  Reach out to others from a place deep within yourself and your deep connections will support all that you desire in your life.  Reach into yourself, identify your feelings and live them in your outer life and you will experience a richness in your life that will have you wondering why you weren’t doing this all along!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “Seek the Light in the Dark Feelings” by Rosemary Bredeson

December 21, 2010 — Rosemary

Sadness?  Grief?  Loss?  Who wants to think about those things?

But, if we are committed to living a Conscious Life, then we must be aware of our feelings for they do represent important guidance for us along the path of personal growth.  How comfortable are you with those feelings in yourself? How about in another person?  Is it hard for you to experience another’s grief or sadness and really be present to them when they are feeling those feelings?

I know it can be hard to stay with what is uncomfortable but that great growth is the blessing in learning to do this.  There is always Light on the other side of that which appears to be darkness.  The Light is in there somewhere.  Searching for the Light requires that sometimes we must make peace with the darkness.  It is like allowing your eyes to become adjusted to the lack of light in a room. Once you have adapted, you can see far more than you could see initially.

It’s the same with feelings that we might be tempted to judge as ‘dark.’  When you stay with that feeling, keeping your eyes open and seeking what is available within the feeling to help you grow, you will become immersed enough for your vision to clear and show you the lesson.

A good friend will be present with you when you are feeling these feelings.  A really good friend will hold you in a healing space and help you to stay in the feeling long enough to learn the lesson.  The temptation to joke or lighten up the mood takes us away from the honesty of what we are feeling.  And honesty is the necessary quality in order that we might go deeply enough into our feeling to learn the lesson that lies there.

Can you give yourself permission to be honest with yourself?  Can you suspend judging yourself and those around you for feeling what feelings are coming up?  Learning to recognize feelings and to work with them becomes a part of the process of personal growth.  A very important part.

Feelings emerge from a place deep within us.  Often feelings look as if they are about something going on around us at a particular time.  But sometimes those feelings are attached to something from the past and we are fooled into thinking that they belong in the present moment.  If you have suffered a hurt in the past and something arises that brings up that past hurt, you might be tempted to react as if the past and the present events have merged into one.  This can increase the feelings so that they are no longer appropriate for that one moment.

Losing someone can be linked, in the unconscious mind, to previous experiences of abandonment and the feelings of loss can be increased because of this linkage.  Becoming conscious of the source and depth of our feelings puts on in a place where we can be effective in learning from the entire experience.  If we know that there might be something in the past that is still begging for our attention so we can learn the lesson then we owe it to our self and to our personal growth to stay with that feeling until the lesson is revealed.

But all of this does not mean that we must wallow in sad feelings and cling to them while ignoring the life around us.  As in all things, we must find balance in our lives.  Clinging to feelings without doing the processes of working with the feelings, learning the lessons, is a form of self-centeredness that can drive people away from us.  Feeling the feelings, working with them, moving forward in our personal growth – this is the path with the most reward.  For when we choose to actually DO the work of growth then we can move through and beyond the feelings that we are feeling.  It is in refusing to do the work that we become stuck.

Decide today to choose growth over being stuck in your feelings!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Let your Feelings be your Teachers!”

December 20, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Do you have sadness in your life at this time?  Are you feeling sad or do you know someone who is sad?  We would have you examine sadness in your life for the lessons contained there.

There are many reasons that a person feels sad and identifying a source of sadness is important in learning what the lessons are.  Are you sad because a friend is ill or dying?  Are you sad because things are not working out the way you had wanted?  Might you be feeling sad because you have lost something or someone?

Sadness usually accompanies the grief of a loss in one’s life – the loss of a friendship, a job, a financial situation, or a dream.  Most often the loss is the loss of what might have been.  Have you lost a pet recently?  Pets are the models for humans of unconditional love.  When one loses a pet one loses unconditional love that might have been there for that pet owner.  Has a relationship ended – through divorce or death or a parting of the ways?  Have you moved to a new home and lost the connections, the familiarity that you once had?

Think of sadness and loss and grief in your life as doorways to personal growth.  When you lose something that you value you are given a chance to move through a doorway into something new.  If you are feeling sad because you feel lack or a feeling of ‘if only things were different’ then look around you to see ways in which you are missing what IS present in that moment.  Sadness can sometimes take you away from gratitude for what is available to you but sadness should never be ignored.

Western culture sometimes does not allow people to sufficiently experience their grief, their sadness about a loss.  When someone dies, the workplace often expects a person to ‘buck up’, grieve for 3 days, and then return to work as if their loved one hadn’t just departed.  Human feelings go beyond the 3 day window allotted to them.  Grief is not something that can be expunged because society is uncomfortable with it.  Sadness is not weakness.  These feelings are very real, and very important to one who is on a path of personal growth.

Allowing yourself to feel your feelings, to be in touch with what is truly going on inside you, allows you to make informed choices about your life.  If you try to choose only those feelings that are socially acceptable you do yourself and your journey of personal growth a disservice.  Right now, in this moment, give yourself permission to feel what it is that you are feeling.  Can you get in touch with your inner self enough to know what you feel?  This is an important exercise in growth.

Women and men who decide on a public persona, carefully crafted to project a certain image, may be doing a disservice to themselves by sometimes denying their feelings and refusing to examine those feelings for the lessons that are there.  Is this how you operate?

Feel what you are feeling and stay with that feeling until it reveals to you what you can learn from it.  Are you feeling grief about a loss?  Stay with that feeling of grief so that you can move into the energy and then, ultimately, through it.  Are you sad?  Are you angry?  Are you frustrated?  Are you feeling something that the world around you is uncomfortable with?  Then find a way to process that emotion so that you can learn from it.

Journal.  Meditate.  Speak with someone else about it like a friend, confidant, counselor.  Write a letter to yourself from that feeling.  What does the feeling want you to know?  You might want to create a ritual around your feelings so that you can preserve the learnings while letting go of the necessity of holding onto or stuffing/hiding those feelings.

Allow whatever you are feeling to be a teacher for you.  When you have learned the lesson you will no longer need to hold onto the feeling.  Now is the time to do the work to feel the feeling and grow from it!

And so it is.
