MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: The Wisdom of the Generations

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: How evolutionary are you?

Everything around us seems to be changing, at a far more rapid pace than ever before in human history. I think of my Dad who was born in 1908 and died in 1983. Imagine the changes in his lifetime!

And since his passing, almost 30 years ago, we now have so many instant communication devices that we can barely take a breath without being contacted by another human being. As I write this, Outlook keeps telling me “you’ve got mail!” (ok, not in that old aol voice!) and my iPhone is chiming to let me know I’ve received another text. I can email with people all over the world. My clients are on different continents and we can ‘see’ each other via our videoconference sessions as if we are sitting across the table from each other. We are really connecting through space and time in ways my Dad couldn’t even imagine.

And, yet, are we still Neanderthal’s in our thinking? Have we evolved our consciousness so that we bring new perspectives to activities and behaviors and thoughts in our lives?

I see the nature of ‘mine’ sometimes throwing itself into the mix without a concern for other people or the impact of actions on the community around. There seem to be many conflicted people who cannot find a place within their thoughts and beliefs for the union of individualism with community. We are individuals who live in community with other individuals.

This is the point where human consciousness is inviting us to find a new awareness of these concepts, to move from the either/or thinking of ‘mine’ vs. ‘ours.’ There is a place, in 21st Century thought, for ‘mine’ AND ‘ours.’

In what other areas are you seeing your thoughts or beliefs living in a previous century? Have you carefully examined the thoughts and beliefs that are guiding you through your 21st Century life? If you would live a Conscious Life, then you MUST do the work to choose the thoughts and beliefs that will determine how you live today.

‘Sleepwalking through history’ is not an option for the spiritual student or for the human who chooses to be a part of the evolution of human consciousness. That is what those who have made the choice to avoid evolving are doing – sleepwalking. They think that they are alive but they have shut down the very part of themselves that is fully human and seeking growth.

Constantly assess your thoughts as you go about your day. Am I thinking with consciousness about what I am choosing or am I ‘sleepwalking’? Ask yourself, “Is this thought coming from me or from an old tape created by someone in the past? Is my belief based on 21st Century consciousness or is it coming from something hundreds of years ago that I must understand in a new light?”

If you truly examine your own consciousness then you can choose to assist all of humanity in its evolutionary process.

Choose to evolve beyond Neanderthal thinking. It’s the 21st Century. Your very humanity is calling you to evolve, to move beyond the unconsciousness of ‘sleepwalking.’ Make the choice today. And examine those thoughts and beliefs, especially the unconscious ones, so that you can bring yourself up to date with the evolution of human consciousness in the 21st Century.

My Dad would be excited to be a part of this evolution today!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are You Neanderthal?

Dear Ones,

The world is changing. Are you?

If you are clinging to beliefs that were appropriate 100 years ago and you are refusing to evolve your thinking, then are you being fully human and participating in the evolution of human consciousness?

Humans are evolving animals, with the free will to choose how and at what level they will participate in the evolutionary process. This free will allows the human being to develop levels of consciousness that increase awareness. Other animals are also evolving but it is humans who can choose NOT to evolve.

The joking use of the term ‘Neanderthal’ to describe a person who is still thinking in cave man mentality is really a description of the lack of evolution on the part of the individual being described. The people who lived in caves in those early times of humanity’s presence on Planet Earth were evolving very rapidly. Every experience was a new one that helped to develop the brain and mind of humans who live today. Every new experience created a template against which other experiences could be measured. Deciding what worked and what didn’t, what was tested and tried that succeeded, and what did not fit in that moment, is how the human being was able to learn and grow and evolve.

Language was created to assist in communication that had been accomplished by other means before language appeared. If you have studied your Oxford English Dictionary you have seen how your current day language continues to evolve with usage. Multiple languages developed based on the source language that was evolving in that place and time. Adapting to circumstances is a part of the evolutionary process.

In 21st Century Earth evolution each person can choose whether or not they will continue to learn and to grow or will try to hold all of humanity back by refusing to move forward with their understanding and consciousness.

You have a choice about how you will navigate the 21st Century. Because you are alive at this time on Planet Earth, your Soul agreed to participate in the evolution of humanity and of human consciousness. Every other person around you has also made the same contract with the Universe – to be a part of 21st Century evolution.

Obviously, the evolutionary process in the 21st Century differs from that of the cave people. But, in essence, the process includes trying new things/thoughts, identifying those that advance humanity and those that hold back the flow of evolution, and adopting the growth positions to move human consciousness forward.

Everyone around you is also engaged in this process. Differences among the choices are starting to show broader areas of disagreement because the choices have been occurring for a long time. Some humans have chosen to participate in the growth of consciousness and others have been on a path of constantly choosing to hold back or to go back to an earlier level of consciousness. When these choices are coming from the same position, the differences are small. When, however, they reflect years or centuries of making the same kind of choices, then the differences have veered so far away from each other as to appear irreconcilable.

Understand that the differences you are seeing in the 21st Century reflect the evolution of all humanity. 2012 is a year of choice for all on Planet Earth. It is time to decide which type of human being you will be, and to appreciate that the Souls who have chosen other paths have already made their decisions.

We wish you to choose to continue to be a part of the evolution of human consciousness for there is much yet to be revealed. Only those who believe in the ability of the human being to learn, to grow, to have greater levels of understanding and to contribute to the evolution of the greater consciousness will continue on the path of human evolution. Those who choose to deny that growth and who would deny others the opportunity for that growth will be left behind.

Human beings are evolutionary beings. To deny this, to fight the evolution of consciousness, is to choose to step away from one’s own humanity. It is a poor choice.

And so it is.

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: Every NOW is a Powerful Place for You to Be!!!

Your true power comes from within you but too often we look outside for approval in order to feel our power. And we also find ourselves giving away our power to others – other people, other circumstances, other times.

Say this with me now – “I claim ALL of my power NOW!”

Some of you might be laughing or doubting or, sadly, crying. But I want you to feel your own power right now in this present moment.

You might think that you aren’t feeling very powerful, but that could be because your definition of ‘power’ is linked to the old model of ‘power over another.’ That is no longer what ‘power’ means! Your inner power has nothing to do with other people or circumstances or times. Your inner power derives from YOU being YOU! And the best way to access that inner power is to bring all your awareness, your consciousness, into the present moment so that you have all your energy available to you in the NOW.

Sometimes I wonder why this is not as easy as it sounds. But I realize that our minds are such fantastic computers, always calculating what might happen and what we’ve learned from what has happened, that it takes a special effort to bring our conscious thoughts into the present moment.

The gift of a great mind is the ability to transcend time. And the gift of a great consciousness is to be able to access fully this present moment in time.

Imagine that you can bring all your awareness into this moment NOW and to fully focus in the NOW in which you are existing. This is powerful stuff!

In classes, I sometimes ask for a volunteer to stand with me and concentrate fully on some problem they are having outside the class and really use their mind to focus on that problem. I can touch them with my finger and push them off balance! [I never let them fall, of course!] Then I ask them to bring their attention fully to their power center, the Third Chakra, the Dan Tien, that energy center that is the seat of your personal energy in your body. Holding attention here, focusing fully on the body’s power center, located a few inches below the navel, gives such stability and power that no matter how hard I push I cannot get the volunteer to move. It’s a dramatic demonstration of bring your consciousness into the present moment so that you can access all of your power!

Try this exercise yourself and see how it feels to bring your attention to your power center and to focus your attention in the NOW. Breathe. Then move into your next activity. Come from your own inner power. Move through your day taking time to focus in the NOW.

And if you need practice, try meditation. Sometimes people have a lot of trouble with meditation and I hear complaints that they can’t still their minds enough. I believe that meditation can be practiced without having to fight your mind’s tendency to think. Allow yourself to practice being fully present to this moment NOW and don’t worry about the thoughts that come. Also, don’t attach to those thoughts and feel you must ‘think them through.’ Allow them to drift by like the clouds in the sky and bring your attention back to the NOW.

NOW is all we have. Enjoy this NOW and let go of the past and the future. Happy NOW!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Your Power is in this NOW!

Dear Ones,

Open your heart to your old self. Forgive all that has gone before this moment in your life. Allow your life to be the unfolding moment in which you find yourself now, right now, in whatever may be your circumstance, your location, your relationships. NOW is the most precious gift you can give yourself.

If your heart is heavy because of things in the past you are taking energy away from the NOW. If you are worried about things that might happen in the future you are taking away energy from the NOW. If you are angry or hurt or upset about something that someone else has done in the past or that you did or did not do, then you are giving away your power in the NOW to a time that cannot truly hold a claim on this moment. If you are anticipating something that has not materialized yet you are giving away your power from this moment NOW.

Stop and breathe in the present moment. Allow all of your consciousness to flow into this moment NOW. Open your heart to the YOU in the NOW. No matter where you are sitting or standing or walking, no matter who the people are who surround you or whether you are alone, no matter what the other events and circumstances of your day might be – PAUSE, BREATHE, and LOVE YOURSELF JUST AS YOU ARE IN THIS PRESENT MOMENT.

All of your power exists within you NOW. All decisions that must be made are existing within you with all of the wisdom that you can access NOW. All of your relationships depend on the consciousness that you hold about yourself NOW.

Your Soul knows your Purpose and your Heart knows your Path. Together you have all that you need to have to exist fully in and through this moment NOW.

Think about that statement. You have all that you need to exist fully in and through this moment NOW. BREATHE. All wisdom is within you. All that you need for NOW is here in this moment with you. Hold that thought and love yourself.

Too often it is easier to focus attention on something in the past or something that might or might not appear in the future, when the true gift you give yourself is to be fully present in the moment NOW. Take the breath that connects you to the NOW in which you find yourself. Breathing the air of Mother Earth connects and grounds you in the moment that made you a human being – your first breath of Mother Earth’s atmosphere, when you were no longer a part of your biological mother but became a human being on the surface of your Mother Earth.

Being fully human means that you stay connected to Mother Earth through breathing her atmosphere, her vital air, into your body and connecting yourself to your life on the Earth plane. Bring your consciousness into this moment to take full advantage of all that exists in the NOW for you. Expand your awareness around you to absorb all that surrounds you. Revel in the gift of the NOW.

Love yourself in the NOW. Forget and forgive yourself in the past. Allow the future to unfold as it will, as a carpet of new NOWs ready to welcome you into their gifts.

Your power is yours right NOW!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: The ‘Consciousness Relationship’ and You

Exploring 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!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are You an Explorer of Ideas?

Dear Ones,

Help each other. None of you is alone in the world and your Life Purpose includes your part in the fabric that connects all of humanity and the Earth Space.

The societies where individuals care about the good of all society are the ones that can thrive. Those where there is factionism and hatred and a dislike of the concept of community are the ones where turmoil reigns and forward progress is blocked.

Every individual who is born, thus becoming a human being, has a reason to be on the Planet Earth. This reason is the Soul Purpose for that human life. Every human being is also a conscious being who has a contribution to make to the global consciousness and to universal consciousness. This contribution requires that the individual grow and expand and see the connectedness of all elements of universal consciousness.

Does this sound challenging or ephemeral to you? It i s not. This is a very practical aspect of your human nature.

You were born to grow and expand and to contribute to the growth and expansion of all consciousness. Whether your Life Purpose is to be a healer, or a business person, or a creative, or a parent or any number of other options, YOU have an obligation to grow and expand in your own consciousness because every thought that you have contributes to the collective consciousness of the Universe.

Understanding this then leads you to see that all other individuals are also on their path of expanding awareness and a growth in consciousness. Holding hands along the path manifests the connectedness of all and the ability to share awareness so that the individual’s contribution to collective consciousness is enhanced by the partners on the path.

Help each other to understand that growth is always possible. Awareness is not a static thing – it is an evolutionary energy within every conscious being. Can you expand your awareness if you are always thinking the same thoughts? Living within the same box? Limiting your exploration of ideas? Listening to the same views from the same voices?

When you share your ideas and are open to the exploration of others’ ideas you are contributing to the growth of consciousness all around you and all through time. Because you are a part of the 21st Century expansion of consciousness you are contributing to the consciousness of all who will come after you. Meanwhile, as you connect with other human contemporaries, you will be assisting them in their own contributions to universal consciousness.

This is why it is so important that you connect with others and share ideas.

Social interactions can include deep discussions but many people shy away from this. They stay on the surface of topics that do not offend and choose not to offer ideas that may differ from others. In some social situations, this is advisable. However, if you would expand your own conscious awareness you will find those with whom you might explore ideas without concern about judgment. And you will become the person who allows others to express opinions without condemnation. You do not always need to agree with another’s opinion to respect their level of consciousness.

For many people, their opinions are given to them by someone who wishes to lead or control them. They have not formed opinions based on a personal exploration of ideas. Others cling to opinions they have formed based on part of the information available but not all. Opinions are not the same as ideas.

Ideas come from a connection to consciousness that spurs the human mind into creative space. Opinions close off creativity.

Sharing ideas and allowing others to share theirs allows creative energy to flow into greater awareness and expanded consciousness. Hold the hand of another as you give yourselves permission to be the explorers of ideas. Creativity abounds when you do!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Choose What to See

It seems to come up all the time. Choose how you feel. Access the ‘feeling state of joy.’ Stiff upper lip and all that. Feel better.

I’ve heard people tell someone who has lost a loved one, ‘When are you going to move on?’ as though that grief is supposed to be done on someone else’s time table.

You might be reading this ezine thinking, ‘Well, that’s all right for others but my life really sucks right now and so I can’t choose to feel anything different.’

But you CAN.

This is the great truth. It’s okay to feel what you feel when something in life brings you pain. AND it’s okay to imagine that you can have something different as a choice.

Just because you are in a situation at the present moment doesn’t mean that you have to stay there forever. And just because you are in certain circumstances does not mean that your every thought has to be focused on those circumstances. Why not give yourself a breather?

Right now. No matter what is going on. Take a moment to go into peripheral vision and access more resources. Choose a point on the opposite wall that is up above you and tighten your vision until you are totally focused on that point. Really tighten up your focus. Now, keeping you eyes on that point, relax the muscles around your eyes and expand your awareness to the sides of that point, to the sides of the room, while keeping your eyes on the point. Relax. You can extend your awareness to incorporate much of the space around you while still looking at the original point of focus. You are taking in much more information that you were when you were tightly focused.

The Hawaiians call this ‘hakalau,’ a meditation form that the kahunas use. It brings into awareness what is in the peripheral vision and is very useful when driving or walking through a crowded mall. It also has an effect on your nervous system. You cannot do ‘fight or flight’ when you are in peripheral vision.

Think about this the next time you believe you have no other choices. Are you focused so tightly on one point that you are in tunnel vision and can’t see the forest for the tree? Go into peripheral vision. Take a moment and give yourself the experience of hakalau. What comes into your awareness that you hadn’t seen before? What other choices are around you?

And if you can’t see another choice, make one up! Your Unconscious Mind is trusting you to give it good data. Why ask it to store away images of what you don’t want? Your Unconscious Mind isn’t judging anything as good or bad, it just takes what you give it and saves it for you.

Maybe today is the day to make the choice to give your Unconscious Mind some fabulous images to store in your very own My Ideal Day TV Show! Think of it as your mental DVR saving the shows you want to replay whenever you choose.
