BOOK LIGHTS: from The Law of Attraction is NOT a Secret

April 21, 2010 — Rosemary

“What would happen if we allowed ourselves to take the time to just ‘be’?  Would our world stop or spin out of control because we slowed down for a bit?  No, of course it wouldn’t.  There wouldn’t be any dire circumstances from allowing ourselves to be, to take a break from activity and hustle and bustle for no reason other than to enjoy ourselves.  There would be no negative repercussions from sitting down and relaxing with the knowledge that we are comfortable with who we are and what we want.  In other words, we don’t have to feel bad about feeling good!”

by Anita Wheeler

I highly recommend finding some time to just ‘be’!  You might have to do as I’ve done and leave the house for a couple of days so that you’re not distracted by all the projects waiting for you to complete them.  Or go to your local coffee shop, have a cup of [fill in the blank with your favorite beverage] and look off into space, watch the people walking by on the street, read a trashy novel.  Of course, if you can get away to meditate and walk in nature you’ll benefit even more, but the exercise doesn’t have to take money or much time.  Just give yourself the gift of time to just ‘be’!

MUSE-INGS: How Do You Approach the Search for Inspiration?

April 20, 2010 — Rosemary

This Mystic Message [posted yesterday] addresses a lot of conversations that people seem to be having these days.  Or have you noticed that a lot of conversations seem to devolve into arguments or hand-waving despair?  I love that the Divine Feminine tell us to ‘redirect the conversation’ into the empowered place – what is yours to do in the situation.

I feel an urgency to get about my work on Planet Earth.  A lot of others are feeling the same sense of urgency and are looking for guidance about what that work is.  Are you one of them?  How do you approach the search for inspiration?

When we focus on hand-waving and ‘woe is me’ thinking we stay stuck in the energetic space of the problem.  It is only when we can move into the place of the Higher Perspective that we can see where solutions might lie.  This is true of our search for what is ours to do, too.  When we focus on the ‘not knowing’ we cannot see what information might be available to us.

This is not to say that sometimes it is the ‘not knowing’ that is important.  Often times we must wait for the rest of a situation to catch up to us and so we are required to pause for a while.  Some of us have a bit of a problem with that ‘pause’ phase, for we are impatient to get about the activity of the next step!  But if we don’t feel clear about our next step we have two options:  wait for clarity or seek help in determining what to do.

Both of these paths invite you into an empowered space.  Go inside yourself and see if your guidance is to pause, to wait for further information or stimulus.  This is not an excuse for procrastination or avoidance, but it does allow things to ‘gel’ in the Universe before you take an action.  Trying to force something to happen before its time doesn’t work.

If you decide to seek help in determining what to do then be prepared for your guidance to be ‘Wait’!  Sometimes that is the answer but if you seek spiritual guidance you will often be given a timeframe or more details about what is going on.  You might also be given specific steps to take–whether they are the final steps or just the ‘next steps’ doesn’t matter, they are appropriate for you at that moment.

Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own fears that we miss the signals that others have information that is valuable to us.  Have you ever been in a conversation where you felt that the other person or persons were so busy formulating what they were going to say next that they didn’t listen to your contribution to the conversation?  Be sure you are not that person!  For others might be the messengers of the Universe bringing guidance to you in a simple conversation.

When the Divine Feminine says that the unconscious mind reacts to a fear that doesn’t have to be based on reality, they are echoing what I learned in studying hypnosis.  You cannot be forced to do something under hypnosis that you wouldn’t do ordinarily, or maybe after a few drinks at a party.  The experiment I heard about invited people to imagine there is an aquarium in front of them that contains an imaginary snake.  They were then told to put their hand in the aquarium.  Even though they knew the situation was imaginary, both the aquarium and the snake, they refused to do this.

Our minds create pictures and our unconscious minds react to those pictures.  Be very careful of the pictures that you dwell on.  What are you feeding your unconscious mind?  Think about that when you are choosing which movie to watch or book to read.

And especially think of that when you are having a conversation about scary possibilities!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Redirect the Conversation.

April 19, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Instead of having conversations with people around the current situations on Planet Earth, especially in the United States, we would have you redirect the conversations to specific steps that people can take.

First, people need to go inside their hearts and find the space of peace, of centeredness that is their Being.  They must breathe into this space for a moment.

The next step to take is to step up above the situation being discussed and to see it from a Higher Perspective.  Why would the Universe allow this situation to exist? What good can come from this situation?

Having a perspective on the positive possibilities that exist in the situation, each individual must then ask, ‘What is mine to do about this situation?’  Each must be patient for the answer to this question might not become obvious immediately. If the answer is not clear then one is to take no action at that time.  This includes continuing the discussion at hand.

Sometimes the next step is to educate others.  This can take the form of more discussion, the suggestion of reading material, or a sharing of knowledge and resources. People are very emotional and are especially clinging to their fear of coming changes because they have been told to fear the very possibility of change.  Yes, it is the mere mention to some that things might change that drives them into panic.

Consider the source of this panic.  It is not the possibility of catastrophe that has them so panicky – it is the possibility that things might change.  Even if they are uncomfortable with the way things are currently they have been trained to approach all things with fear, especially a change from the ‘status quo.’

This tactic has been used to control human beings since the first hierarchical structure was put into place.  If one person can put another person (or group of people) into the energy of fear, then that person gains control by offering to protect people from that which they fear. The original source of the fear may be fabricated, but it does not matter to the unconscious mind of one who is fearful.  They long to have someone to protect them from that which they fear.

Now go back to a conversation about what is happening around you and notice that fear can lead to anger looking for someone on whom to place the blame for this fearful state.  People settle on blaming whatever they are told to blame.  (Remember that in their fearful state they are easy to control and to lead where the controller wishes.)  When you find yourself in one of these conversations be careful to avoid becoming a controller of others.  Share what you know and invite the others to go inside themselves to find their own empowerment.

It is only from this place that true change, in the direction of the evolution of human consciousness, can take place.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Choose to Think Thoughts Filled with Light

April 7, 2010 — Rosemary

Where is the source of your latest thought?

Sometimes I find I am scattered and my thoughts come from everywhere.  Often I follow one then get sidetracked by the next stimulus and go off on a tangent.  The trouble with that is I can quickly forget where I was going in the first place!

It seems that hitting the ‘pause button of my mind’ is the skill that I need to exercise the most. I stop, breathe, then breathe again, and clarity returns.

I am aware that many thoughts seem to pop into my head from somewhere outside.  Sometimes it’s even my mother, a wonderful woman who has been on The Other Side for over 10 years!  But that voice can help me see what I am looking at through new eyes. Sometimes it is an old tape that is playing in my head and I have to catch myself as an observer to notice that that tape no longer has relevance in my life.  It seems to be so easy to cling to the old ways of thinking because they are automatic, a knee-jerk response to a stimulus.

But once you have decided to live a Conscious Life you must catch yourself in EVERY knee-jerk response. The question to ask is, ‘What is the source of this thought?’  If the answer is that you have considered many options and at this time you have chosen consciously to believe something, then stay with that thought and follow it. If, however, you answer that the thought came from your childhood or your friend at work or from a discussion with a neighbor then reassess its value in your current life.  Why would you spend time and brainpower following a thought that comes from a past prejudice that was instilled in you by someone who hadn’t had the opportunity to examine and discard that prejudice?  Why would you adopt a contracting thought, one that makes you feel smaller rather than expanded, just because someone at work planted that thought or reaction in your mind?

Living a Conscious Life asks you to bring forward your thoughts into the Light and to examine them. There is a quality to thoughts called their ‘Light Content.’  Thoughts that have a high Light Content feel expansive, take you outside of your small ‘s’ self and into the realm of the capital ‘S’ Self.  When you spend time with high Light Content thoughts you will feel yourself touching the world of creativity, of acceptance, of connection.

On the other hand, thoughts of little Light Content feel darker, heavier, more contracting and very personal, without room for others to fit into the thoughts.  Sometimes these thoughts are old thought forms that no longer serve in the 21st Century but are still being held by those who choose not to grow.  These will not serve you in your path of personal and spiritual growth.  Learn to recognize them when they cross your path and choose to move forward, discarding their heavy energy.

Choose to think thoughts that are filled with Light.  Choose to hold onto beliefs that serve your growth into expanded Light.  You are always at the point of choice.  Choose growth.  And enjoy the Light!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are Your Thoughts Filled with Light?

April 6, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

Please remember that you are all connected to one another. No decision that you make can be made in isolation.  No word that you speak can stay in your own orb, your own space.  And, likewise, no thought that you have or express can stay with you – it reverberates immediately throughout the Universe.

Every thought that comes to you has a source, a space in which it was formed.  That thought in your mind can come from one of myriad sources but the most prevalent source for most thoughts is in your own mind, the place that is formed from your experiences and from what you have been taught is true.  Are you aware of this fact?  Every experience that you have ever had is contained in your mind and shapes the thoughts that you hold onto.  If you were raised in a household where people were prejudiced against another group or other groups you might not even recognize that prejudice within yourself even when someone else points it out to you.  If you were raised to believe that a certain religion is the only true religion and the God that you were told to believe in is the one true God then you might not listen with an open heart when someone expresses information that contradicts that belief.  If you were raised to believe that science holds true in all cases and that, if it can’t be proven according to the current methods of science, then it must not be true, then it is probably difficult for you to conceive of the ideas of meta-physics which is ‘beyond physics.’

What are some other sources of the thoughts that you have?  They could be stimulated by a passing glance at something that triggers a thought. For example, you might see a sign with a picture of someone drinking milk and remember that you need to buy milk on your way home.  Or someone could say something to you that triggers a response.  These responses come from a place inside you where your previous experiences and your current reality intersect.

When you encounter a new idea that is presented by someone else, in a book or conversation, for example, you might weigh that idea and have reactions to it or decide to embrace that idea as a belief for yourself.  You must first be open to the concept that you do not already know everything for this to happen, however!

Creative thought comes through your connection to the All, to the Cloud of Knowable Things, to the Source within the Universe.  New ideas, or ideas that might be new to you, are available at all times through this connection to Source.  How often do you connect in this way?

To make this connection you must first purify the channel of your mind by examining how invested you are in the ideas/thoughts that you have held dear for most of your life.  Do you believe that some of your own ideas about how the world works might have been formed in error or with less than full knowledge about the workings of the Universe?  Do you understand that your parents and schoolmates and the culture and society and religion [or no religion] in which you grew up have formed not only your thoughts but also the way you approach new thoughts?  Until you have examined the source of your own thoughts you will struggle to be really creative and to connect to expanded thinking.

Learn about yourself by being in a curious state.  Wonder about the root of your current beliefs.  Are they truly your own or did they come from another source?  Are you, as an adult, still believing ideas that you embraced as a little child and are those ideas still valid for you?

When you have done the self-examination described here then you will be able to consider thoughts that come from Creative Source.  It is very difficult to explore new ideas when you are wedded to that which is formed in concrete within your own mind.  Break up that concrete and become a curious explorer, looking in wonder at your own ideas and the thoughts that originate elsewhere.  Breathe into a quiet mind and find that connection that allows you to receive new thoughts for consideration.  Explore with wonder and you will find there is much to learn.  Enjoy the journey!

And so it is.

This Week’s Mystic Message from The Divine Feminine: The Children are the cosmic beings – listen to them!

March 22, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

Can you hear the winds of change blowing through the world in these days?  There are so many changes coming that you will start to see people being thrown off balance by what is happening around them.

The cries of those in need will become louder and the boasting of those who have more than they need will turn to compassion as they start to see themselves as connected to all others.  Oh, we know that there are some who are unable to experience compassion but most members of the human family are, by nature, compassionate people who have been trained into selfishness by society.  In most societies on Planet Earth there is a sense of connection, with nature, with others and with the cosmos as a whole.  The cycles of nature on Planet Earth are understood by most of her peoples.  The understanding that what one individual does affects all others is widespread on the Planet.

It is only in those societies that have lost sight of this connection to others where you can see the individualism that prevents human consciousness from expanding.

But we would speak to you today of the coming changes, that which you who are on the path of Conscious Living can look forward to.

People all over Planet Earth are feeling the coming changes.  Earthquakes shake the physical world but the energetic world is also being shaken up.  Light is beginning to form in places where before there was darkness.  Those who wish to resist change are starting to become enlightened about the need for change.  You will first see this in how the children of the Planet are being treated.

The children alive on Planet Earth today are a special breed of the New Human.  They have an intelligence that defies your intelligence testing and analysis.  They are cosmic beings who have actively chosen to assist Planet Earth in her evolution toward expanded consciousness.  Look at those who have been born in the last 20 or so years as the ones who will carry changes through the coming times and into the future.  These children do not communicate well with those who are older because it is as if they come from a different planet.  In fact, they do.  These children were born on the former Planet Earth but are truly here to be inhabitants of the coming, energized and expanded Planet Earth.  Only those adults who are able to expand into the new consciousness will be able to keep up with these children.

It is precisely because these are New Humans that your medical and educational and societal systems do not work appropriately for them.  These children do not need to be drugged – they need to be protected as the super-sensitive beings that they are.  They are not to be confined by structures created for a society of hundreds of years ago – they must be supported and listened to as they are the ones who understand the coming energies from a cosmic perspective.

Listen to the little ones.  Ask them questions about what they understand.  Listen to the questions they ask and help them to explore answers, for the answers you might have given 20 years ago will no longer serve.  Spend some time with young people even if they are not blood-related to you, for you will certainly learn from them.

And then decide to open your horizons, expand to become a conscious cosmic being yourself.  You can do this by being open-minded.  Connect with others and understand that all are one, there is no separation.  This is the most important message for the coming changes – there can be no isolationists.  All are connected.  All are One with the Source.  It is the children who know this.  Listen to them.

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: From “The Journey” by Brandon Bays

March 10, 2010 — Rosemary

“I realized that there is a way in which everyone must follow their own, unique healing path, and it is an experience that no one else can have for you.  Spiritual transformation is an inner journey – it’s the soul’s personal path of learning and letting go, and it’s something that must be experienced on your own.”

Spiritual transformation IS an inner journey, and it starts with asking the right questions of our Self in every moment: Who am I to be in this moment?  What is mine to do in this moment?   What is the truth for me in this moment?

MUSE-INGS: Spreading Love and Light to All of Humanity

March 9, 2010 — Rosemary

Humans are capable of so much love and devotion to each other that it is disturbing to see how many people are choosing a path away from that.  What has happened to cause us to lose our way to the Light?

I don’t have a simple answer to that question.  I am constantly amazed at the way that some people speak of others, the demonizing of those who disagree.  I work diligently to learn the truth of the news and am amazed at the lies that are perpetrated on those who are unwilling to work so hard to uncover these lies.  It amazes me that there are those who willingly repeat lies to unsuspecting folks who listen with a belief that they are being told the truth.  How much darkness is spread through lies?

And then I hear of efforts to respond to natural disasters that come from an outpouring of love for all humanity and I am encouraged that, while the media might give air time to those who spread lies, most humans on Planet Earth are of a compassionate nature.  How cold a heart must it take to turn away from a child in need?

I’ve heard the theory proposed that the bombing of a building in Oklahoma City years ago opened the heartland of the US and created an outpouring of love for that City and those who were affected by the bombing.  There was a tsunami that was devastating and again humanity came to the assistance of other members.  Earthquakes and hurricanes and typhoons happen and all eyes, hearts and wallets are focused on giving aid.

Perhaps these natural disasters are Mother Nature’s way of focusing our attention on the need for us all to agree that the peoples of Earth are really all one people.  And a natural disaster is a way of telling us where to focus our Love and Light at the moment.  We might wish that governments rushed to help human beings but in the end it is human beings who will step in when they can offer compassion.  Indeed, some governments do rush to help.  Some countries are founded on principles that the government works for the people, for the individuals who might need assistance and their response to natural disasters reflects this.

But the ultimate responsibility for each individual is always to ask, ‘What is mine to do in this situation?’ Whether that situation is in one’s own immediate life, one’s local environment, or on the world scale, the question is always, ‘What is mine to do?’

Leading with this question and really listening for the answer that comes from deep within oneself will lead to a choice to bring Light and Love to Planet Earth.  No one who truly asks with an open mind and an open heart will hear an answer that causes them to shut down, to bring more darkness to the Planet.

I like to believe that more and more people are asking and listening and hearing that they are to spread the Light of Love more broadly on the Planet!  That all humans are part of One Humanity.  That separation is not of the Light.  And Love enhances Love every time!!!

2010: The Year of Transformation Energy

January 27, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

We are pleased to tell you that many changes anticipated for the year 2010 have already been put into motion for you.  The energy of this year will bring Transformation to all who are ready and willing to change for the better.  Each year carries a special message for humanity, a different energy for what is happening to and around the Planet.  For 2010 this energy is about change, transformation at a very deep level.  Those whose nature is to resist change will find that they cannot stay upright in the strength of the currents of change.  Those who wish change for the sake of change will also find difficulties in advancing their agenda.

But those who are open to being led into the changes that are appropriate for them, personally and on a planetary level, will experience profound transformation supported by the Universal energies and the energies of Planet Earth.  This is the time for all humans to become attuned to their Inner Guidance, to listen to the Wisdom that speaks from within them.  This is the time for those who would be conscious to hear the voices of teachers who strive to bring others into increased awareness and consciousness.  The teachers who are still singing the old songs, who are still teaching from the energies of decades past, who have no way to tap into current sources of guidance for the present times, will be left behind by the students who are hungering for up-to-date information, guidance about what they are to do in the present moment, and support on their journey into their own wisdom and empowerment.

The days of giving one’s power away to an external institution are passing.  Those who continue to try to steal another’s power will find they have empty hands.  Of course, there are still those who wish to give away their power out of fear of retribution, whether by humans in this life or some kind of ‘god’ in an afterlife.  But those who choose to give away their power were never going to embrace the energy of Transformation that is present in 2010 anyway.  And the power-hungry people and institutions will still find some who will support them because those supporters are too fearful of change to allow themselves to transform.

But if you are one who is willing to accept the influx of Transformation Energy that characterizes the year 2010 then you must do a few things to acclimate yourself to that energy.  First, you must cast off the shackles that have been holding you back from making the changes that you feel your Inner Being is trying to make.  Usually those shackles are in the form of latent fears and limiting beliefs that work at the unconscious level to keep you held back from your own personal growth.  Clearing these shackles frees you to look around you for the ways to manifest personal change in your life.  When you open yourself to your own Inner Power, Inner Guidance, even if you must work with someone else to gain the most benefit from the effort, then you bring to Planet Earth a manifestation of the Life Purpose you came into being to anchor on the Planet. Transformation Energy does not necessarily mean that everything within and around you must change.  But it does mean that the changes will be deep and lasting and will profoundly affect the course of your life.  For some of you the changes will be as dramatic as that of a blind person who is given the gift of sight.  For others, the changes will be deeply personal – you will enter the rest of your life with a deeper understanding of yourself and others that will transform your choices and actions on a personal level.  And for some, the Transformation Energy will cause an explosion of public activity that will affect more people in the world than you can imagine.

Allow yourself to flow with the essence of this Transformation Energy as it unfolds in your life this year.  The changes for you might not come until December 2010.  For others, though, this energy is already happening in this year.  Hold onto your hats as the pace quickens!

And so it is.
