MUSE-INGS: Choose Beauty

Do you judge yourself to be beautiful or not?

And why do we need to judge ourselves?

It’s funny, isn’t it?, that we allow the outside world to tell us what is beautiful and we can’t ever measure up to it. Even the fashion models that society says are beautiful claim THEY aren’t that beautiful if they are not manipulated by airbrushes and PhotoShop to look as they do in the ads.

I wonder when we stopped looking for beauty within ourselves and projected the search into the mirror. Have people always defined beauty this way?

When my husband and I took a vacation to Mexico several years ago, we stayed at a European resort where there was only one other American family. The rest of the guests were from Europe where their definition of beauty seemed to come from someplace other than the fashion magazines from the US. On the beaches we saw women of all ages enjoying the sunshine with their families at complete ease with their bodies, no matter what their age or dress size was! What a concept! We Americans are so uptight about how we look that we forget to be comfortable in our own skin.

I decided then that beauty is an inside job. Of course I had always heard about not judging people on their looks and I did look at the person inside. But could I apply that to myself? Could I see myself as beautiful no matter what the mirror said? And how could I project a beautiful face if I was worried about how I looked?

Now we are being guided to allow the energy of acceptance and love to decide how our face projects beauty.

Practice looking in a mirror and changing your thoughts then noticing how your face reflects those thoughts. If you think, as you go through your day, about what your face is telling the world about how you feel, you might start making different choices about hanging on to feelings that are not representing the beauty you wish to present outwardly.

Think about how we smile and coo at a cute, innocent little baby. Then think how pinched we get when we are ticked off at a circumstance or another person. Your face is reflecting this energy.

Now think about how the Dalai Lama is always smiling. He has a lot to be angry about, but he chooses happiness.

Our qigong instructor teaches about the ‘feeling state of the Divine.’ She has great access to this state and is always chuckling, like the Dalai Lama. They know something about beauty!

Commit to being beautiful today! Think thoughts of love and acceptance. Start with loving and accepting yourself. Then stay in that energy as much as you can. If you feel your face pinching up, look for the peace and love that will transform you. If you feel yourself sitting with anger or hatred, look for the energies that will put a smile on your face.

You are always at choice when it comes to which feelings you will hang onto and which you will let go of. Make the choice to BE BEAUTY in the world!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are You Beautiful?

Dear Ones,

Beauty. How do you think of or appreciate beauty?

In 21st Century Western culture beauty is defined by pictures that are presented as the model of beauty. Men, women, children are portrayed as the ideal. To too many in the audience, however, this model means that they judge themselves to somehow fall short of measuring up to the ideal. Many see themselves and others as ‘not beautiful’ because they do not meet that ideal that has been created and sold to them.

Beauty has nothing to do with that ideal model that is presented. True Beauty comes from an open and caring heart. The person who cares about other people is beautiful. The one who would make a sacrifice for another is beautiful. The person who loves is beautiful. This has nothing to do with the outer appearance.

It does, however, influence the outer appearance. Have you ever seen a person speak of hatred, of those that they hate? Their face reflects this energy as the musculature and skin are transformed by the energy being expressed. Derision, condescension, hatred, judgment, parsimony, anger – these are all energies that create an energy field around a person’s visage and they present this energy, not the formation of eyes, ears, nose, mouth that form their face.

And one who is speaking of love, of acceptance, of peace, of appreciation – that one has a beatific expression that is created by the energy field associated with these choices. Again, it has nothing to do with the particulars of their facial features. The presentation is created by the energy of the feelings.

So there is an outward expression of the inner energy that creates beauty or ugliness. Do you want to be beautiful?

Then accept others just as they are. Find what you can love in a person rather than differences that you hate. Focus on finding ways to collaborate rather than to compete. Appreciate others and the circumstances in which you find yourself for the lessons they bring to your path of personal growth. Seek peace, in yourself, your relationships and your environment.

Create your outward expression of beauty because the energy of your inner self is reflecting love of yourself, of others and of your life. You will BE beauty and others will appreciate sharing in this energy.

See beauty in others because you see their inner heart, the innocent little one who lives there, not the persona they are presenting because they have not yet learned to feel true beauty within their being. As you carry with you an energy field of beauty you can influence the energy field around you. You can model true inner beauty of spirit and offer that as an option to those around you who do not know how to achieve this on their own yet.

Be Beauty in the world and you will learn to see only beauty around you. Smile, in your heart first and your face will reflect this. Do not return ugliness for ugliness for this does not bring you the beauty you desire in yourself and in your life.

Live as the beauty that you know yourself to be. Start with you and then share that beauty with the world. Perhaps you can change the world’s perception of what true beauty is!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “No power in the ‘Verse…”

As fans of Joss Whedon’s ‘Firefly’ sci fi series we love the quotes from that clever TV show. When I think of an unstoppable power in the Universe, it’s Love.

How many phrases are there in our cultures that talk about Love?

“What the world needs now is Love, Sweet Love”

“Love makes the world go ‘round”

“All you need is Love”

The list goes on. And it is not just the fantasy of romantic love that is spoken of, but the unconditional Love of acceptance, non-judgment, tolerance, blessing.

Yet so many are angry, fearful and lash out at others in hatred. Why must we have laws against ‘hate crimes’? When did humans decide that they have the right to end another’s life because they don’t like them? Why is hatred/vitriol/anger the coin of the realm in talk radio? Why are so-called reality shows only supported if they include anger and drama and win/lose energies? Is this really what we want 21st Century humans to be identified with?

Think deeply about how you might contribute to this energetic in the world today. You don’t have to belong to the Ku Klux Klan to hold hatred in your heart. You don’t have to be the angry radio talk show host who fuels the anger and hatred of others by spouting vitriol, often based on lies but then the truth doesn’t matter either.

You just have to support this. Either by being a viewer/listener to increase the frequency of this energy being transmitted or by sending out your own energy of anger and hatred into the air around you. And you increase the power of this energy by ignoring that this is what is being transmitted out into the Cosmos from your Planet.

Think about living a Conscious Life, where you are careful of your own thoughts, emotions, words. You choose carefully how you live in relation to other people and to Mother Earth herself. You Love. And maybe you need to increase the energy of that Love so that you are a counteracting force for the Light.

When you become conscious that you are closing down, shutting the doors on your radiating Love energy, then ramp it up. Every time you think of what is written here, open your heart and send some Love energy into the Universe. When you are in discussion with another person, energize Love in the conversation. When you are in a disagreement, surround yourself with the Light of Love so that your words will be filled with that vibration and will not devolve into words of anger or lower vibrations.

Think thoughts of Love. You do not need to walk around in la-la land but the hippies of the 60s had a good idea about sharing the Love. “Make Love Not War” is more than a bumper sticker!

Choose to be the transmitter of Love out into the ‘Verse. We can counteract all those other energies by being conscious of the impact of our own transmissions. Let’s tell the rest of the Cosmos that not all humans live in fear, anger and hatred. Those of us who have chosen to live a Conscious Life are transmitting the energy signature of Love!

There’s ‘No power in the ‘Verse…’ as strong as Love!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: What are you transmitting?

Dear Ones,

From the perspective of Space, beyond the Solar System, there is an energy being emitted by the Planet Earth that is created by the human beings on her surface. Every thought, every spoken word, every broadcast, every emotion, creates a pattern in the energy signature of Planet Earth in the Cosmos.

What is your contribution to the energy signature?

When scientists have attempted to create a signal in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence they have chosen very deliberate signals to send out into Space. They know that the energy of those signals will transmit for great distances with no understanding of exactly who or what will receive them. Nor is there any idea of how these signals might be interpreted.

You, too, are a transmitter of energy into the Cosmos. Your thoughts are energy moving out of you and into Space. Your emotions create energy waves that also pulse outward from your personal energetic field. What you speak cannot be taken back because it rides out of you on sound waves that continue beyond you into Space.

What is your contribution to the energy signature of Planet Earth?

In the 21st Century it is time for individuals to take responsibility for the energy that is transmitting off the Planet. What is being broadcast into the airwaves from your TV and Radio transmitters? Are you comfortable with that energy being the signature by which your Planet is identified?

Think about the importance of little things like the TV shows that you watch. If this is what you wish your human society to be judged by, then choose your viewing time wisely. Whether you wish it to be true or not, you are identifying yourself with all that is being transmitted from Earth.

In this time in history, there is more hatred and vitriol being transmitted than ever before. The frequencies that are associated with this energy are of low vibration and do not represent a highly-evolved society. Is this what you want to be the signature of your Planet Earth?

You cannot merely ignore what is happening around you. Many people are choosing to feed the hatred and to increase its power to transmit. Anger and fear also feed this low vibration energy and increase the power of the transmission. Are you contributing to this?

The strongest power in the Universe is the power of Love. Can you project this outwardly so that the hatred, anger and vitriol are counteracted in the energy signature of Earth?

Increase the energy of Love in your heart. Ramp up the power of Love and send it outward. Transmit Love for others, for the Planet, for the history and future of the peoples of Earth.

Make your contribution to the energy signature be a counteracting frequency that cancels out the waves of low vibration energy. Visualize the Light of Love and imagine that it is radiating off the Planet and out into the Cosmos. Feel Love in your heart and think thoughts of Love. Live your Conscious Life filling your own energy space with Love by consciously choosing this vibration.

You have a lot of anger and hatred to counteract. But you can increase the Love and make the Planet Earth glow with the Light of Love so that anyone looking at her from Outer Space will know that the heart of humanity is one filled with Love.

Make it so.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: The Path of Personal Growth Takes You Through the Doorway

How many times have you stared at a Doorway of Opportunity and yet chosen not to step through? Each of us has done that, haven’t we? Sometimes it is because we are afraid to leave the comfort of the familiar place we are in, even if that comfort comes from familiarity and not necessarily what is best for us. And sometimes we are afraid that, if we step through the doorway, we will be asked to ‘play bigger’ than we are comfortable with. Isn’t this really why we content ourselves with ‘playing small’?

When I hear people talk about the fear of public speaking being worse than the fear of death (not for me, but for some) then I think of the ‘stepping out on a stage and being seen’ aspect of public speaking. For some, it is the fear of being seen. For others, it is the fear of owning what you speak.

But we are all called to a life of speaking our truth. We all deserve to be seen. I met a woman recently who was moved because she finally felt ‘seen.’ This woman had the most amazing energy and Light around her, and yet there must be others who are avoiding ‘seeing’ that beauty.

Fear. Fear holds people back from seeing others in their Light because that might mean I should let my Light shine. Fear also keeps a person from playing in a bigger way because others might not ‘get it.’ Worse, others might be angry, or upset, or frightened. And what if ‘they’ don’t like me? We all worry about losing love.

This fear, though, really is the popular acronym: False Evidence Appearing Real. A friend shared a great quote with me today: ‘What you think of me is none of my business!’ This should become the motto of everyone who is afraid of stepping out in a big way!

Your Soul Purpose, your Mission, your Big Why — these are all YOURS!!!! And yours alone. No one else is here to live your Soul Purpose. No one else can accomplish your Mission on Earth. No one else has your Big Why. These are yours and they have been given to you as a part of the unfolding plan of the Universe.

These are also the gift that you have been given to make your life have meaning. You live among others who are on Planet Earth at a time contemporary with you because you all agreed as Souls before birth that you would share in this journey. They have your back.

You agreed to share your gifts. Do you know what they are? Your Soul Purpose was chosen by your Soul to fulfill a group agreement with the others in your Soul Group with whom you are traveling through life. Would you leave them in the lurch? Your Mission is a big mission, not a little task to be completed before you die. Would you leave this Mission unaccomplished? And your Big Why is the reason you are doing what you do, your motivation. Wouldn’t it be nice to have this Big Why identified so that you could fuel your life with the energy of that motivation?

Do the work. Examine yourself. Personal growth work leads to personal success in life. Entrepreneurs know this, which is why they are always working with mentors for both business and personal support. Conscious Living dictates that we examine our lives and become conscious about working on personal growth. The 21st Century is not giving us the luxury (is it really a luxury?) of plenty of time to get around to doing personal growth work. All the energy is focused on our doing the work NOW.

Step through the Doorways of Opportunity that are opening to you today. And trust that there will be more for you tomorrow. Clear the path to living your Soul Purpose and fulfilling your Mission by identifying your Big Why.

Today?

MUSE-INGS: Will you live your Mission?

We see so much discussion today about individual vs. collective, my rights vs. everybody else’s. Has humanity really devolved to the point where we believe that we live in isolation from all others and from Mother Earth?

I think it’s time for us to do a bit of a reality check. No one was born alone, as in dropped on the planet from a star. Well, okay, maybe some Earthlings really did start out on a distant star but that’s a discussion for another time. You were born of a mother, no matter what kind of mother she was. You had an umbilical cord that was cut after you became a human inhabitant of Mother Earth and took your first breath of Mother Earth’s air. Someone cut that cord. Someone raised you and fed you.

Even if you feel as if you were on your own because of your childhood situation the truth is that there were other people around you. As you go through your day today notice how many other people you interact with. Even if you are at home alone and don’t see anyone else, you have electricity brought to you by people. You eat food prepared, grown, delivered, etc. by people who work so that you can live. You probably received some mail delivered by a person. You received this email prepared by us and delivered through services into your email inbox.

The list goes on and on. Did you drive your car? How many people supported your having that vehicle to get yourself around in? Did you talk on the phone? What was involved in having that conversation?

Do you see where I am going with this? No one is really in isolation. But sometimes we can feel so alone. We can feel that it is difficult to get excited. We feel like victims.

YOU are NOT a victim!!! There might be things in the past or even in the present that you do not like having on your timeline but at this moment you are alive and you have access to the great power within you. YOU are a being of Light no matter how dark your day appears to be. YOU are connected to the Source of Light and Love in the Universe and you can extend that Light and Love into your life no matter what the circumstances are.

Do you know your Soul Purpose, the reason you are living this lifetime on Planet Earth? Discover it. Do you know what your Mission on Earth is? Discover it. Find your ‘why’ and let it propel you forward.

Raising your consciousness isn’t about sitting and thinking. It is about lifting your awareness into a higher level than the space where problems and circumstances live. Reach beyond your circumstances so that you can see where your greatness lies. Reach into your inner spaces and find your inner Light so that you can shine that into the world.

YOU have a role to play in the unfolding Plan. The Universe asked you to be here at this pivotal moment in the life of Mother Earth. The Divine Feminine stands ready to appear through you. Show the world that you accept your Mission. Live your Soul Purpose within the circumstances around you and decide to change them if you want them to be different. Nurture yourself so that you can nurture others.

BE who you came here to BE. And we’re all here to help you!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: LOVE Your Vision into Life!

Dear Ones,

Life is not only what you make it. Life is what you PLAN to make it.

People often repeat the quote, ‘Life is what you make it,’ implying that you can create your life. But then the language they use implies their victimhood at the hands of Fate. ‘What could I do?’ with shrugged shoulders and upraised hands – the message being sent that there was nothing they could do, they had no power.

Or people talk about all the things that could go wrong in the future, conjuring up visions of great disasters, or expecting behavior from others that stymies their plans. How many times have you heard someone excited about an outdoor activity and then say, ‘But it will probably rain’?

These are not the actions of someone who truly believes that ‘Life is what you make it.’ When you speak and envision what you do not want you energize that. When you speak and envision what you DO want, you energize THAT. Life really IS what you make it. And Life is what you PLAN to make it through your thoughts, words, visions.

Now check in on your language, your thoughts, the pictures that you create and carry around in your head. Are you planning the Life you really want? Or did you just complain to someone about something you don’t want in your life?

Start this today by creating the vision of what you want your Life to look like. Add how it feels, the people who surround you, the activities you engage in, the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the car you drive, what you do for fun, what you do for personal growth and spiritual renewal – Everything!

When you have a vision that carries with it a positive emotional charge and fires you up, then you have the measuring stick to use to gauge your language and your thoughts every day. Check that sentence that you just uttered – is it consistent with the vision you created? What did you just think about how things are today? If it does not bring support for your vision then cancel that thought!

All the energies of your Life must align in the direction of the vision you have created for yourself. If you struggle in some area of your Life, then examine the struggle for the lesson that will bring your vision into manifestation. Where is the lesson in this? Each lesson brings you, as its reward, a little closer to living your vision. When you are considering a couple of different options or choices, ask yourself which path is consistent with your vision and then choose that one.

This pattern becomes your strategy for Living Your Richest Life. You become conscious of every single step you are taking and you allow this conscious awareness to shape into existence your own vision for your Life.

Living a Conscious Life means consciously creating that Life. Go ahead and create the vision today. You can capture it in a vision board, a journal, or just in your head, but make sure you can feel it in your heart.

Then LOVE that vision into existence in your Life by feeding it energy from the thoughts and actions and words that make it manifest.

Love your vision into Life!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: What the World Needs Now is Love, Sweet Love

It’s difficult to discuss ‘hatred’ because I really don’t like to feel the energy of that word. I learned long ago to remove it from my vocabulary because it has a damaging effect on one’s liver just to speak it. I don’t ‘hate’ mushrooms but I choose not to eat them. If I’m having a bad hair day, I don’t ‘hate’ my hair.

So it is interesting that this message uses the word and energy so often. What is the meaning? What’s the point?

I think the energy of hatred is all around us and we need to raise our consciousness of the effects of living with that energy non-stop. We probably don’t even hear the word anymore with the sensitivity it deserves. And there are those who speak of that energy without ever using the word so we really have to lift our awareness into understanding that ‘hatred’ is what is meant by the language.

There are so many groups today who work for separation into ‘us’ and ‘them.’ They ‘other-ize’ groups that are different and somehow that makes the other lesser beings. Really? Is that being an evolving human being? Since when has a different religious belief meant that the other person is a lesser being?

Since there have been religions, I suppose. When I hear people spout political beliefs as if they have all the answers and anyone who disagrees with them is evil [yes, I’ve heard that] then I understand that demonizing the other has become a national, and maybe international, pastime.

The polite way to discuss politics is to talk about ‘negative ads’ but isn’t that a euphemism for spewing hatred? Or, if not spewing, then inciting? What have we come to as a human race if this is the behavior that we condone?

My dream is that human beings will find a way to cooperate rather than compete, to see that the good of the many includes the good of the individuals, and to raise young people to want to help others, not hurt or destroy them. Is that too much to ask?

I believe that human beings are capable of great things – great love, great art, great advances in understanding on many levels. What if the future held the possibility of a world where there was no hatred, no war, no ‘otherness’? What if the discovery of many other planets in the Universe caused us to join together as Earthlings and find a way to live together so that we could be a unified people in the Cosmos? How attractive does that sound to you?

We really are all one human being, the body of humanity living and breathing with many sets of lungs and many hearts and heads, but we are all connected in this many-membered organism. The sooner we learn and accept this the less ‘otherness’ will play in our lives. If we understand and feel our connection to all others perhaps we will not need to legislate against a group whose beliefs differ from ours. Maybe we can stop killing over jealousy or anger or hatred. Maybe we can learn to live and let live despite differences.

Remember the song, ‘What the World Needs Now Is Love, Sweet Love’? How long ago was that song popular? Are things really that different today?

Go about your day today spreading love. Don’t listen to words of hatred but turn the conversation around. Catch yourself if you are speaking vitriol and stop it. Listen to your children to see if they have created a mindset of otherness, if they see themselves as better than those who are different. Many teenagers, in fact, probably most, see themselves as different and they just want to fit in with their peers. Yet there are too many teen suicides because they encounter hatred for their differences. Please stop the hatred now.

Let’s all commit to being 21st Century human beings who love. Let’s counteract those who would spread hatred by accepting those who are different. And let’s look for ways to settle differences that don’t involve bloodshed.

We want to give Mother Earth the balance that she craves.

MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: Love the Different

Dear Ones,

We are concerned about the prevalence of hatred in the cultures on Planet Earth at this time. Too many adults are spouting hatred and hateful words and the children are learning that this is the way of the world. Nothing could be further from the Truth but if all the children see is hatred and prejudice then they will know nothing better as they grow into adulthood.

This situation must change if there is to be a better tomorrow for the young people.

Hatred of one culture for another has brought about many wars in human history and has damaged the forward progress of human evolution. It is as if humanity comes to a standstill when groups are spreading hatred around the planet. There can be no growth and prosperity when hatred is the overarching energy.

Now there will be those who say they enjoy great prosperity when there is war because they profit monetarily from the conflict, caring not who wins, loses or dies because they realize their profit regardless of the victor. But this is not true prosperity for the energy is not of abundance but merely of the accumulation of money with the blood of war tainting it.

But those who would be truly prosperous do not wish to do so at the expense of the lives of others. There is abundance in the Universe but it is not accessed through the doorway of hatred.

Think about teaching children to hate others. What does this benefit the child or the adult that they will later become? Hatred is a detrimental energy, to the one who hates far more than to the victim of that hatred. The energy of hatred causes physical harm to those who hold onto it. Internal organs are bathed in a kind of static electricity that damages the very cells of those organs. Haters do not live comfortable, healthy lives into old age because they have damaged their own electric energy fields. This also affects those who live around these people.

Is this what you want for your children? Do you really want them to learn by your example when you express your hatred for someone or something? What does that really mean to you?

In the 21st Century there are many human beings who are driven by a hatred for another group of human beings for various reasons – religion, race, sexual orientation, political beliefs, cultural differences, nationality, material possessions, beauty, accomplishments and a host of other reasons. And yet these other people are also human and deserve to be treated with respect if for no other reason than that they, too, belong to the human race.

There are also purveyors of hatred who enjoy charging up their audience to aim their hate energy at the ‘other.’ These purveyors are taking on an immense amount of the karma of their actions as they incite others to acts of violence, against themselves and other people. If there could be a vision of the magnifying effects of projecting hatred then perhaps some of these people would stop and examine their behavior. But too many choose to continue to behave with venom and a vituperative nature.

Your work is to examine yourself and your life and watch for the word ‘hate’ to show up in your speech. Do you commonly say, “I hate this!” or “I hate when _____”? Please remove this word from your vocabulary as it has an energetic effect on you even if you are not as mired in hatred as some other vitriolic persons might be.

Examine what you are modeling for the children and young adults around you. Is there a group of people with whom you disagree? Do you treat the disagreement as separate from the human being so that you can respect a person’s right to have a difference of opinion yet still see that they do not deserve your hatred?

Are you modeling tolerance for those who are different from you?

Choose to model love, the kind of unconditional love that all great spiritual teachers have asked of you for millennia. Love and accept those who are different. Agree to disagree on an intellectual level without hating the person who dares to argue with you. Teach your children to love others and to settle differences without hatred or war.

Mother Earth wants all of her children to live together peacefully. Hatred destroys her balance.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Shine the Light of the Real You

I have the privilege of working with the best clients in the world. They are each an amazing shining light, a beacon of hope and love to others. And yet I spend a lot of coaching time helping them to own their own brilliance, to ramp up that inner light and to show their inner splendor to the world. This is the essence of the coaching work that I do.

And I see how much energy there is in the world that is trying to hold people back from their own greatness! It is sad and frustrating and anger-provoking when I hear/see this happening. So what is going on?

We’re told by our educational systems that we must toe the line, behave as we’re told to, be good little soldiers and follow orders. We study as we’re directed and we regurgitate the information that we have memorized. Then we go out into the world and get a job where our role is to make the boss look good. Occasionally someone turns to us and lets us shine our light, but just a little, not enough to out-shine anyone above us in the chain.

Entrepreneurs create a business to reach out to others, to make money and, we hope, to shine their light into the world. But do they really understand the role they can play in the overall story that is unfolding?

Our granddaughter is doing an assignment for her English class which is studying Romeo and Juliet. She has to create a mask that displays various aspects of herself – symbols of who she is, what she likes, what she enjoys doing, how she sees herself, something she doesn’t particular like. It’s been fascinating watching her do the self-examination required to create this mask and to hear the reasons behind the symbols that she has chosen. I applaud the teacher of high school freshmen who has given them this assignment. Makayla is creating, quite consciously, a representation of her persona as she sees herself today, and it is beautiful.

Ask yourself who you really are. What symbols would you use to display yourself to the world? And what are the masks that you wear to hide the real you from the rest of us? Are you playing small because you don’t want to out-shine those you perceive as ‘above’ you? Are you trying to shine your light and feeling as if there is always someone with a bucket of water waiting to put out your candle?

The changes that are happening around us are calling us each to determine and to live the life purpose, the soul purpose, for which we incarnated at this time. We chose to be here to take part in the changes that are occurring. We signed up to be agents of change and carriers of the Light while the winds of change are blowing across this planet. But we must grow in our own consciousness if we are to hold the hands of others and to help them to grow as well.

The way to accomplish this is to be who you are, the very Being of Light who lives inside you, who chose this time and this body and these circumstances in which to shine that light out into the world.

Watch the people around you who are struggling with circumstances and listening to the words of an energy I call ‘the contraction of consciousness.’ People forget themselves in this miasma of fear and constriction and horror. They lose touch with their own inner light and they blindly follow someone who feeds their fear to the point where they cannot see their own power to change. They give away their power to someone who will take care of the perceived enemy. This is not expanding consciousness. It constricts the person into a pinpoint of fear until they cannot see beyond that point, cannot expand their awareness to the greater picture, and they become brittle and break.

Be the person who lives in expanded awareness of the bigger picture. Know that you are a Being of Light who is having this Earth experience so that you can grow in consciousness and contribute to the growth of human evolution. Be who you are. That is all that is asked of you and that can be a tall order.

Be the Light.
