MUSE-INGS: Simply Be Love

How often must we hear messages about Love before we really understand them?  There are so many aspects to Love that I guess we must hear about the energy of Love over and over and over again until we embrace the concept totally.

If you listen to the news there is so much evidence of a lack of Love in our society that one wonders how to get that energy flowing, or jump started into the community.  How can one individual really ‘getting it’ have an impact?

I guess I would ask the opposite: ‘How can one individual spewing hatred have such an effect on society?’  Think about hate radio.  Think about politicians who spew hatred.  Think about those who choose to hate other groups because of _____ – fill in the blank as there are many choices here.

One individual can have a great impact when they embrace the concept of hatred so why isn’t Love more powerful?

The fact is that Love IS more powerful!  The energy of Love is the strongest in the Universe.  You were Loved into existence because the Universe wanted you to be present on Mother Earth at this moment.  Love is the attracting force at work in the Universe in every moment.  And you are a part of that Love.  You can connect to that Love by opening your heart and deciding that you are Lovable and Loving of others.  You can choose to accept all other people because they, too, have been Loved into the present moment.

The time has come for Love to be the dominating force on Planet Earth.  ‘Love your neighbor as you Love yourself’ requires that you first Love Yourself!  Love others who are like you and Love others who are different from you.  Love the children who will inherit the Planet from you and Love those who are getting ready to leave the Planet in your hands.  Love those who make choices that are different from the choices that you make.  Love because your heart is open and it is Love that spills forth from it.  Love because YOU feel better when you are holding Love energy in you than when you hold any other energy in your consciousness.

Make this a time for you to spread Love around, without an agenda, without expecting anything in return.  Simply Be Love.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE: Loving the World into Peace

Dear Ones,

Today we would speak to you of love again.  How many messages of love can there be, you might ask?  Very many is the answer.

When one loves because their heart is open then there are no boundaries to that love, no judgment inherent in the love that is offered to another or to a group of others.  When one experiences a love that is truly unconditional then one is experiencing the energy of the Divine.

Too many people in 21st Century Earth are living with the mistaken notion that Love, with a capital ‘L,’ is an emotion that starts and stops, is earned or won, can be withheld if the person loved doesn’t measure up to some standard.  We would tell you that this notion is not about ‘Love.’  In fact, it has nothing to do with ‘Love.’  Affection is affected by whims or behaviors.  Romantic love that is not based on an open heart and that does not stem from a person who loves their Inner Self is not the kind of romantic Love that endures.  And true Love in its essence extends way beyond the romantic Love so many wish to experience.

Love of Self is the fundamental energy of loving another.  One must love the Inner Self, the being that is timeless and lives within each human being.  Connection to the Love of Self allows one to Love another.  But this kind of Love goes even deeper than the romantic Love.

When one has complete Love of Self one can only see others as Lovable beings.  One who is truly in the space and energy of Love allows all other beings to be exactly who they are at their core and Loves and accepts them as such.  One who can Love like this sees the connection with all other beings as immutable, so strong as to be unbreakable, so elemental that there can be no disputing it.  The word ‘Namaste’ recognizes this connection and honors it – ‘the Divine within me honors the Divine within you.’  This is what you are doing when you first recognize that your Inner Self is the Divine within you and that all beings have this Inner Self.

People who are understanding of this kind of Love and connection do not wage war against other human beings.  People who can Love this way do not sow hatred and intolerance.  People who recognize the Divine in others do not discriminate against any other group of beings.

Imagine the world in which you live if it were peopled by human beings who Love and accept all other human beings as having the Divine within them.  This is the description of a world at Peace.  There cannot be Peace without the understanding that an individual is responsible for their own Peace, within and about them, and that only through Loving others can there be Peace between people.

We would ask you to consider those for whom you find it difficult to hold warm feelings.  We understand that ‘feeling’ this kind of Love for all others is a tall order.  But the Love of which we speak is a choice about how you see another person or a group of people, especially those who might be different from you.  We are asking you to make a choice, right not, as you encounter our words, to first connect with your Inner Self and stir up the Love for the Divine within you, and then move that Love outward to encompass all those around you, all those with whom you come into contact, and then especially all those with whom you have differences or disagreements.  Next extend this Love around Planet Earth to all beings.  We are not saying that you must ‘feel’ warmth for everyone nor that you must approve of all behaviors, but you CAN make a decision to honor the eternal nature that is within every being.

Let the Divine within you honor the Divine within all that live on Planet Earth.  Energize this thought as often as you can.  As the word reaches others to do the same, you will begin to feel strongly your connection to All and the Love that exists in that connection.

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: His Holiness the Dalai Lama in “The Path to Tranquility”

“Whether their entire life will be successful or not depends much upon the atmosphere young children feel throughout the day.  In a family where there is love and compassion, the children will become happier and more successful human beings.  Without love, there is a danger of spoiling or ruining their whole life.  Human affection is thus most influential for children’s development.”

The most important ingredient in any recipe is LOVE.  Share that ingredient with your children and you will do the best you can for them.  And they will, in turn, learn to share Love with others.

Mystic Message from The Divine Feminine: Consider the Children; they are our future!

Dear Ones,

These are times when many are concerned about the children in their lives and it is right that there should be concern.  We are not wishing to scare anyone but the children of your times are not being given the consideration that they deserve and need.

Let us first talk about the environment on Planet Earth, for that is an immediate and desperate arena.  The human body was developed to exist in the purest of circumstances on Planet Earth.  The lungs were designed to breathe clean air, the blood circulatory system to handle impurities and to carry life to cells, and the digestive and elimination systems to take in healthy food while removing that which the body does not need or cannot process.  Even the skin has a major role to play in the healthy balance of the systems in the body as it is part of the system of eliminating waste and balancing the temperature of the body.

But the children of your day are being given food, air, water and earth to walk on that contain very unhealthy elements that are detrimental to their development as healthy human beings.  The air they are breathing contains many molecules that the lungs were not designed to deal with.  The foods they are ingesting contain chemicals that no system in the body knows how to handle.  The water they drink contains so many things that are not healthy that it is no longer the single most precious, life-giving substance they can take into their bodies.  Do not fool yourself into believing that the large companies that are in charge of these factors are concerned with the health of your children and grandchildren, for they have lost sight of the human aspect of their work.

Now we are not saying that every individual who works for these companies does not care about your children or their children.  But we are saying that in the aggregate these corporations have ‘forgotten’ that little bodies are affected by decisions about what the products contain or the effect a process will have on the natural environment.  Each person does a little job and may do it well, but when the pieces are put together the overall effect can be deleterious to the health of the next generation.

When politicians believe that air pollution is not dangerous they do so because someone has convinced them of findings that are misleading at best, perhaps even deliberately so.  When corporate heads are analyzing data they are looking at financial information, not at the effect their product will have on a 4-year-old who lives in your house.  These people are not ‘bad people’ but they are not concerned or motivated by the care and concern that you have for the children in your life.

YOU are the one who must be concerned about the children in your care or in your life.  What can you do to assist them in having the healthiest life they can have?  Why is this important?

The children who are on Planet Earth at this time are the ones who have Spirits that agreed to move the Planet through the coming changes and into a New Era on Earth.  These Souls know their work is global, not provincial.  They are concerned with all of humanity, not just their own neighborhood.  But to accomplish what they have come to Earth to do they must keep their bodies healthy enough to support their efforts. They require a healthy environment, good food, clean air, supporting energies so they can get good educations, and a loving, nurturing home environment to be allowed to grow into the person they incarnated to be.  Whatever relationship you have with today’s children, it is your work to make sure that each child has this support.

Do what you can to provide these requirements to all children on Planet Earth.  If you do not have children at your home at this time, help other people’s children.  Work for the good of children in other countries.  Make sure that young people have support and information so they can grow into healthy adults to accomplish their mission on Earth. Take care of Mother Earth for them.  Do what you can to reverse the damage caused by previous generations and others who have not yet been educated about the harm they are causing.  Figure out what is yours to do to support children.

Even if you have no children in your immediate arena, help the children of others.  Too many children do not have the support they need to become critical thinkers.  Too many do not have access to opportunities to express their own creativity, the artist within.  Can you support efforts to provide those opportunities?

There is much that can be done.  The children need your efforts.  Do it for the children and the future.

And so it is.

BOOK LIGHTS: From the Sumerian songs of Goddess Inanna

BOOK LIGHTS:

‘He put his hand in her hand.

He put his hand to her heart.

Sweet is the sleep of hand-to-hand.

Sweeter still the sleep of heart-to-heart.’

From the Sumerian songs of Goddess Inanna
as translated in
Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth:
Her Stories and Hymns from Sumer
By Diane Wolkstein and Samuel Noah Kramer

This description of Inanna with her consort, Dumuzi, shows the tenderness of an open-hearted connection – ‘sweeter still.’  I like the image of these powerful figures sleeping with hands held and hearts connected.

MUSE-INGS: Hold the World in Love

Sometimes the hardest message about Love that we have to hear is the one about loving from a centered place that does not necessarily reflect what we are feeling in a certain moment.  Feelings can overwhelm us and when we are faced with a very emotional situation it can be extremely difficult to remember to project the energy of Universal Love.

The way to remind ourselves is to pause, take a breath, and notice how we feel without acting on that feeling yet.  Of course, if what you are feeling is fear of the sabre-toothed tiger who is bearing down on you, then you might want to run while you pause! But, even then, you will find that reaching into the place of peace and Universal Love within you and projecting that energy outside of yourself can calm the energy around you.  A friend encountered a mountain lion near her kitchen door and she went outside holding only Love and peaceful energy within her. She talked soothingly to the mountain lion while he looked at her.  The picture shows a brilliant light shining forth from the eyes of the mountain lion – an amazing photo!  My friend stayed in a higher vibration than fear and had a wonderful experience of close proximity with a mountain lion.

So what happens when we pause and breathe?  We then have time to move into the ‘observer mode,’ the place where we have the most resources for choosing a course of action.  When we can observe ourselves in a situation we can also observe possible outcomes of the choices we see before us.  If we stay in the emotion of the moment our vision is narrowed and we frequently can’t see multiple options from which to choose our next step.  And when we notice what is going on in our body in that moment we have even more information to work with.

Try this the next time you are interacting with someone, even if there are not intense emotions in the minute.  Take a second to visualize the Light and Love that is streaming into the top of your head from your connection to the Universal Source of Love and Light and connect with that energy in your Heart Center.  Then really look at the person, really notice them, really listen to them.  Notice how it feels in you when you do this.  This isn’t about bombarding them with Light energy, for that would be an invasion of their boundaries.  This is more like holding a space for them to be in connection with you in a bubble of this Love and Light.  They have the option of choosing to step into the bubble or to step away from it, but you are defining the vibration in which you wish to hold this interaction.  When someone chooses not to engage at this level of energy, that is their prerogative but you don’t have to step into a space that is not appropriate for you.

The person who is living the Conscious Life will practice always operating from this level of awareness and connection, with other people and with the Universal Source of Love and Light.  Imagine how peaceful the world would be if everyone operated in this energy.  You might not have the power to make the entire world enjoy this vibration but the world around you will certainly change when you are holding this energy in every situation!

Live and Love with One Heart

Dear Ones,

Living and loving with one heart gives you a unity of purpose in your life.  Do you know what we are meaning here?  Think about your heart and how many different ways that you have for loving – your life partner, your parents, your children, your friends, your work, your pets, your home, your car, your favorite sweater.  You use the term ‘love’ to describe a feeling about all of these people and objects.

We are talking about ‘love’ in the sense of the verb that is sourced in your heart of heart, the place within your body where the energy of your higher energy centers and your lower energy centers come together.  Your Heart Center is the place where the energy from Mother Earth comes up through your body and meets the higher vibration energy that comes through the top of your head from Source energy, the Universal Source of Love & Light.  These energies meet in your Heart Center and you can make a decision to send this energy out to others in a specific way that is not about how you feel about them.

Think of the people that you thought you loved in your life but for whom your feelings dimmed when they failed to live up to your expectations of them.  How many objects have you said you ‘loved’ yet discarded when they were no longer useful?  This is not the kind of love that we are addressing here.

We want you to think of Love as an energy that connects you to another because you choose to make that connection.  Think of your partner or child or grandchild or dear friend and think of holding them in a Love energy that does not have expectations, has no rules for them to follow, does not require reciprocation for you to hold them in that Love energy.  This Love comes from Consciousness, not from feelings.  This Love has no requirements on the other party.  And this Love has a great benefit to you because it allows you to maintain your own energy at a higher level than that of feelings.

We understand that all humans experience feelings and we are not telling you that there is anything wrong with having feelings.  But as a person who is committing to live a Conscious Life on Planet Earth then you are one who must learn about the higher vibrations of energies that take you above your feelings while allowing you to honor how you feel.  For some of you this might seem confusing but there are ways that you can achieve this.

First you must learn to honor the feelings that do arise within you. But by honoring those feelings we do not mean that you must determine your choices in life only on how you feel.  When you experience strong feelings you are being led to examine a situation or a relationship so that you can learn something in that moment.  The emotion is a clue that there is something for you to examine and from which you can learn.  The emotion is not the point of growth for you – it is the flag that tells you that you are in a situation that holds the potential for you to experience growth.  Learning to allow your emotions to be teachers for you is a big step in living a Conscious Life.


For example, when you are in a close relationship with another person, you are, by definition, going to experience reactions and emotions in that relationship.  Whether that person is a relative or loved one or colleague or boss, because you are both human, you will have feelings.  But the awake and aware individual knows that the relationship does not hinge only on the feelings of a moment.  The relationship is being forged in a whole collection of moments and requires that each participant be allowed the space and energy for personal growth within that relationship.  When one person refuses to grow the whole relationship suffers from that decision.  But when one person decides to operate in the relationship from their Heart Center, always holding the other person in the energy of Universal Love, then both parties benefit.

Do you see that the decision to hold another person, or a relationship, in the energy of Universal Love allows you to expand in your growth into Consciousness and allows the other person the opportunity to learn lessons and to also grow in Consciousness?  The difficult part of this is that you have no control over what the other person chooses to do in this situation.  They might choose to cut themselves off from the flow of Universal Love.  They might choose to ignore the opportunity for personal growth that has been afforded them.  They might even choose to turn around and attack you in the situation because you are not engaging with them at a lower vibration of energy.  But this does not mean that you can or should change your connection to the Source of Universal Love nor does it mean that you are right or they are wrong.  It simply means that you are operating in that moment from different vibrations of energy.  And this has nothing to do with how either of you is feeling in that moment.

Making a choice to find the space within you that holds the energy of Universal Love and then to participate in all relationships from that place will change the world around you.  You will find that the person who benefits the most from this is not the person on the other side of a relationship but is, indeed, yourself.  And holding yourself in the energy of Universal Love is Self Love, the place from which any love for others must flow.

And so it is.
