Dear Ones,
The children are crying out for the love and acceptance of the adults in their lives. They know that they are here on Planet Earth on a mission. They feel they have a purpose and they want to be accepted for who they are, not for what they achieve. Are you cooperating?
This is not just referring to the children of your body but also to the children around you, to the generations younger than you are. Do you accept them even though they might be different from you?
Generations develop their own identity on Planet Earth, characterized by certain traits that can be generalized. Astrologers would tell you that the planets define generations and they are correct in that assessment. But the planets do not determine the characteristics – they reflect them.
The Universe has a plan that is unfolding and the people who inhabit Planet Earth at any given time are a part of that unfolding plan. Each Soul who chooses to incarnate at a certain time has agreed to play a part in the plan. Each person joins the Planet at the time that allows their purpose to appear and to serve the others who are with them in the same Earth period.
Whatever is needed on Planet Earth at a given time determines the characteristics of the generation on the Planet at that time. Multiple generations inhabit Planet Earth at the same time because their interactions are essential to the unfoldment of the plan. This is why the acceptance of those who are younger is so important. When older generations of human beings discount the advances offered by the newcomers on the Planet the evolution of human consciousness is threatened. Those who do not embrace the wisdom of the young are heralding an Age of Regression, when new thoughts are discounted because the older humans are not of the same mind as the younger. This is an anti-evolution stance to adopt.
Now we are not saying that everything that new generations embrace is part of the growth of human consciousness but it is essential to the development of the human species. The examination of ideas always brings with it the possibility of growth. Discarding an idea merely because it is new does not assist in the development of a culture or a civilization. Adopting a new idea merely because it is new is also not evolutionary.
But examining new ideas for their merit, assessing possibilities instead of staying stuck in the way things have always been, is the path to growth for all human beings. Studying what the young are saying offers insights into why that generation is on Planet Earth at the same time as the examiner. Holding out the possibility that there is something to be learned from the young requires an appreciation for and acceptance of the young who are the messengers of the future.
What is your relationship with new ideas? Do you consider the source and, if it is a new idea from the young people do you automatically dismiss it because you don’t trust their contribution to the evolution of human consciousness? Or do you consider the idea and the young person with the seriousness deserved?
This is not to say that there is not wisdom to be found with the older generations, but if the older person discounts ideas proposed by the younger simply because of the age of the proposer, then there is a deficit in the possibilities of growth for all.
Treat your young people with respect, for they, too, have a role to play in the unfolding of the Universe’s plan, just as you do!
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: The ‘Consciousness Relationship’ and You
August 1, 2012 — RosemaryExploring ideas has always been a fascination of mine. Whether it is a mundane matter or a lofty abstract concept, I can get lost in the exploration.
In college, as a math major, I was assigned a paper to write on ‘infinity.’ What a concept! I explored and explored and asked for an extension because I became so absorbed in the exploration. I shared my ideas with classmates, professors, the priests (who were, blessedly, very open-minded when I talked about consciousness with them!). How exciting it was to have the space in which to question and explore ideas!
How different I might be if I had not been supported in being the explorer of ideas that I was as a college student! How different someone around you might be if you do not allow them to be explorers, secure in the knowledge that you will share the exploration with them without judging or condemning or trying to get them to see your point of view!
We are all called to be in relationship to all others. Perhaps the ‘Consciousness Relationship’ is one of the most important.
The level of consciousness in which one operates, or, which one has attained, influences how one lives one’s life. It is easy to see that the people who walk around with their inner eyes closed are living a very different life from those whose eyes have been opened and who are explorers of ideas.
Do you realize that you can choose to find others who live at the same level of consciousness or a higher one?
This is not about judging people but it does include the discernment to notice when you feel that you are being accepted as an explorer or judged harshly for not being a part of the crowd. What groups have you joined where you feel that you can be yourself and explore ideas without worrying about judgment? In which groups do you feel that you must be extremely careful about what you say lest you create a backlash that stops the creative exploration of ideas until you agree with the others?
Discern how you feel, without judging where others are on their individual paths. Find the group of people who support your exploration of ideas. Like-mindedness is not the same as closed-mindedness. I like to think of the groups of like-minded folks that I hang out with as being those most open to exploration. Fanatics and fundamentalists of any shape can be closed to the possibilities that are before them.
And a lot of people who are closed-minded are merely stuck in their own emotional ‘stuff.’ It can be sad to see someone who is in a stuck place and rather than exploring options for moving beyond their ‘stuck-ness’ choose to hide within that stuck place. When the time is right, however, they will have opportunities to explore possibilities. When they are ready, there will be teachers available and they will either reach out or not.
When YOU are an explorer, you model for others the possibilities that are before them. When YOU are available as a teacher, someone who has been stuck has the possibility of becoming an explorer.
Be an explorer of ideas and hold out a hand to help others. This is a group activity! And each of us has a responsibility to the evolution of human consciousness to be that explorer of ideas!
