Dear Ones,
The energy around the world is being stirred up by the tides of change. People in all countries are feeling that change is coming, but, in most cases, there is no clear understanding of what that change will be. A natural reaction to the uncertainty of change is to move into fear, but we would tell you to hold back, do not allow yourself to go into fear.
When the Planet Earth erupts in change energy there are many potential ways that that change can become manifest. Let us talk first of the energy of groups and what changes are coming in them.
Groups have been formed among human beings since the first tribes banded together during early human history. There is safety in the numbers when groups are formed. There is also a kind of leadership that is created when a group faces a decision point. Often that leadership role was chosen by a battle or competition between strong group members and the strongest, often physically, was the one who became the leader.
In later human history, groups were formed around intellectual pursuits and the smartest or wisest person became the leader of the group. When survival was not the most important reason for joining together, people from other ‘tribes’ would join a group whose ideas were appealing, no matter what the background of the people in the group and no matter the diversity of its members.
Lately, we are seeing that people are joining groups, banding together, so that they may fight a perceived enemy. Ideologies seem to be the reason for connecting with others, not a desire to join for survival or intellectual reasons, but because there is an emotional component to an ideology that unites the group members and they use this passion to aim their energies outward toward ‘the enemy.’ In these groups, the leaders percolate to the top on the strength of their voice, the loudest becoming the leader.
The energies in the changes that are coming on Earth will affect the groups that have been formed around ideologies because those ideologies will begin to collapse onto themselves. People are getting smarter about Life. Humanity is evolving in its consciousness and awareness. No longer will the person who shouts the loudest be allowed to make decisions for those who are intellectually curious and thinking individuals. You will start to see that people are ‘waking up’ to what it means to be fully human.
This is a good change for Planet Earth! When people start to ‘wake up’ they look around and see what needs to shift to support their awakening. They no longer accept that they must follow blindly those around them who are shouting loudly. People begin to think for themselves and make decisions around what is best for them and their family and they also begin to consider the society around them. Philanthropy, generosity of spirit, and giving to others follows the awakening of a society. This will be happening first where people are spiritually connected to the Earth and to people around them. Where individualism reigns these changes will be more difficult and slower, but the energy is also there to bring this change about.
Ask yourself if you are living a Conscious Life. Are you attaching yourself to groups because of a blind loyalty to an ideology or are you looking for like-minded people who are also intellectually curious and thinking individuals? Examine the groups of which you are a member – are you being served by the growth of the group or does it seem to be stagnating your personal growth?
More and more people will be dissociating from those groups that do not stimulate and support personal growth and seeking that stimulation and support elsewhere. This is how the energies of change can manifest in your life and the lives of those around you.


MUSE-INGS: It’s always about the energy! by Rosemary Bredeson
November 23, 2010 — RosemaryPeople seem to be growing more sensitive to energies and noticing the energy of a group can really be a protective measure. I’ve noticed that some groups seem to shift energies from comfortable to dynamic to uncomfortable [for me] and sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint what is happening. Groups of 3 people can have a dynamic based on who wields more power in that trio while huge groups of 200 can have an amorphous energy that feels benign in the large group but contains many subgroups that have their own dynamic. Have you seen this in the groups in which you participate?
When you are sensitive to the energies around you, you might find yourself gravitating toward those people and groups whose energy patterns are compatible with yours. You might also find yourself moving away from groups, even those you have been a part of for a long time, when the energy feels as if it has shifted and no longer supports you or your personal growth. This is happening for a lot of people with churches and organizations that, at one time, served them but no longer do so.
People grow. At least, Conscious People grow. For those who are pursuing a life of evolutionary consciousness, many groups complete their purpose in a person’s life and that person must make a choice about whether to continue to associate with the group or to move on. This does not always have to be painful or difficult or done in anger or sadness. This is just the path of an evolutionary person. Just as you do not stay in grade school for your whole life, some associations complete their usefulness for your personal growth and you ‘graduate’ from them. The graceful way to leave these groups is to bless them on their own way while accepting that your path parts from theirs on the journey.
Have you ever seen someone stay a part of a group only to criticize and complain about that group? Doesn’t that make you wonder why they stay a member? And what about families that get together for a holiday celebration but the individuals can’t wait for the so-called ‘celebration’ to be over so they can go to be with their friends? At times, a group or even a family no longer supports one on one’s journey. It might take a lot of energy to move out of a familiar group or to decide to spend less time with a family that makes one feel uncomfortable. One alternative to leaving is to see if the group is willing to shift its energy into a space that feels more comfortable to the person considering leaving.
This can be a tall order but it can have dramatic results. In some cases, just pointing out that old patterns have jumped up again and that perhaps they don’t belong in the 21st Century gathering can cause people to reconsider their behaviors. Sometimes you can simply ask to be treated differently. I’ve seen this work with people who tease and joke to the point of causing emotional pain to another but, when requested, stop acting that way. It might be helpful to think ahead to a gathering where you anticipate feeling uncomfortable and ask yourself how you wish it were different. Energize that different picture of the gathering, and believe that you can ask others to participate in the new vision.
And even if others don’t want to change the situation, it might be that gaining a perspective on what is going on helps YOU to change how you feel about the situation. Understanding the energy of a group and how it depends on the energy that you bring to it can give you new insights into your participation in that group. Decide that you can shift or they can shift or you can drift away.
