THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Pleasure and Pain. Pain and Pleasure.”

April 11, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Pleasure and Pain.  Pain and Pleasure.

These are the two main motivators.  People are motivated to move toward Pleasure and to avoid Pain.

Think about this in your relationships, in business and in life.  Are you offering the other person pleasure in their interaction with you?  Are you offering them respite from their pain?  Or are you bringing something else to the relationship?  Are you increasing their pain or diminishing or blocking their pleasure?  Likewise, what are they bringing to you in the relationship?

Lab animals are studied in psychology laboratories because it is so easy to introduce pleasure and/or pain into their environments.  But human beings are not lab animals.  There are huge differences, the main one being that humans have more control over their environments than lab animals have.

So humans can choose to avoid pain or to seek pleasure.  And these choices can be made consciously or unconsciously.  One doesn’t have to think too hard or too long before removing one’s hand from a hot stove.  But in other situations there can be nuances and rationalizations and multiple sources of conflicting information that make choosing a direction or a next step more difficult.

In some abusive relationships a person may not be willing to assess the situation in the present and may be influenced by past energies, experiences or even past lives.  In some cases, especially in business relationships, abuse can take a very subtle form of discounting, ignoring, dismissing.

Every individual deserves to be treated as a valuable person with ideas to contribute, thoughts that are worth considering, feelings that are to be included, whether the relationship is business or personal.  Every person deserves to be in relationships that do not bring pain to them.

We acknowledge that sometimes there is disappointment or discomfort in a relationship that is growing/evolving, but that relationship should not be the direct source of pain, such as mental, emotional or physical abuse.

And so individuals who would live a Conscious Life must be looking at what is motivating them to take the next step or to avoid taking a step.  Is that step being taken to avoid some pain?  Or is it being taken to move toward some pleasure?  And if the answer is to avoid pain, then there must be some positive motivating force, some pleasure, to move toward after one has accomplished the avoidance of the pain.

Ask yourself which is your biggest motivator and then use that information to set up ‘motivating milestones’ for yourself.  Have you gotten stuck somewhere in your life?  Are you wishing you could move forward but, for some reason, are not able to?  Are you confused about which direction to take and the confusion is paralyzing you?

Your usual motivators may not be strong enough to get you moving from where you currently are.  Get help identifying what energy is holding you back.  Clear up the blocks.  Gain clarity about the direction you really wish to pursue.

And THEN get motivated and get going!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: ‘Mirror, Mirror, on the wall…’ by Rosemary Bredeson

April 5, 2011 — Rosemary

How many times have we been the mirrors for the projections of others?  And how many times have we projected our stuff onto someone else?

These are not the pretty things we like to ponder but there are the gems of some real growth in considering these questions.

When you are told that your issues are about something inside you rather than about the other person, how do you react?  Do you first go into disbelief and then justification?  ‘What do you mean it’s not about them?  They’re being ridiculous, an idiot, unkind, outrageous, ________[fill in the blank]!’  Of course we want it to be about them because it is much easier to consider ourselves to be victims than to own responsibility for what is happening in a relationship.

Let me say here that I am not talking about abuse.  This is never acceptable.  But when you feel that you are the victim of abuse you must ask yourself what you are to learn and sometimes the answer is that you must remove yourself from the relationship.  When you make the abuse about either your own inadequacy, such as creating an excuse for why you might have deserved the treatment you received, or when you make the abuse about the other person and you don’t take action except to get angry or fearful, then you have given away your power to an abusive relationship and you are not owning your opportunity for personal growth.

In every relationship there are many opportunities for growth but we tend to want to romanticize our romantic relationships or make family relationships about what happened in the past.  Sometimes in friendships we have expectations that are not realistic or, on the other hand, we excuse behaviors in our friends that we wouldn’t tolerate in our partners.  We get our boundaries all mixed up about what is mine and what is theirs.

It is important to examine our relationships for where the healthy boundaries are.  Know what is yours and what is the other person’s.  Not clear?  Then work on this with someone who is not emotionally charged in the relationship so that you can become clear about where the healthy boundaries lie.

Think of every relationship as a mirror that your inner Self is holding up to you so that you can see in that mirror the work that is ‘in your face’ today for you to work on.  And then do the work.

Remember that an issue is probably not about you unless it is pointing you in the direction of a lesson to be learned.  Honor those lessons by allowing the relationship to be the classroom in the School of Life on Earth and learn the lesson without becoming defensive or retaliatory.  Lessons in relationships can help both the individuals to grow.  And if you feel that you cannot grow in the relationship, then re-examine your reason for staying there.

Sometimes the healthiest boundaries come from creating great distance.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Relationships are merely mirrors???!!!”

April 4, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

When a person struggles with intimacy issues or with issues within an intimate relationship that issue has nothing to do with the other person or even the relationship.  The issue is an inside issue of being honest with and trusting the Self. The relationship is merely the crucible, the classroom, in which one is being given the opportunity to learn the lesson.

People often project their issues onto the people or the world around them.  Others feel the ‘attack’ and react to that with defensiveness or retaliation.  But projection implies that a person’s Self, inner being, is looking for a mirror in which to see that issue.  If someone else projects onto you, see that as their opportunity to learn a lesson, regardless of whether or not they take that opportunity to learn it.

Where most people get tripped up is in reacting to the projection as if it had something to do with them.  It doesn’t.  And the sooner one learns this the easier one’s life will be.

Other people are on the Earth for 2 purposes: 1) To learn their lessons [foremost]; and 2) To help you learn yours.

That is the simple reason for having a lifetime in the School of Earth – to accomplish those 2 purposes.

And, yet, most people spend most of their time reacting to someone else learning their lessons or to ignoring actively the learning of their own.

The Earth is a lovely home in which to be home-schooled.  Lessons abound in every situation.  Everything in the environment is placed there to help you learn.  It is a wonderful setup for personal growth and Soul Evolution.

Yet most humans spend their time resisting the lessons, railing against their environment [and situations] or numbing out to avoid personal growth.

What a choice!

Choose the lessons and Soul Evolution.  You’ll be much happier in your Earth Environment!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Create the Day You Would Like to Have!

March 15, 2011 — Rosemary

Quite frankly, I’m tired.  It’s been a very busy couple of weeks. I have a lot to do.  Sometimes I long for unconsciousness [or maybe it’s just that I long for sleep!].  But there is always a connection to be made when you are conscious of the need that all humans have for connectedness.

I recently bought some cosmetics at a department store and ended up having a delightful time chatting with 3 of the women who worked at the counter.  At dinner with a couple of friends, one of whom had her dog with her, the waiter got talking to us about his pets and how they had contacted him after their passing. [I had told him that I am a medium and that I often give people messages from their pets who have passed on.]  These connections were great fun and brought a smile to my face that answered the smiles of the other people.

It’s so easy to wake up every morning with the to-do list on your mind.  Or, worse, to start immediately addressing the problems that you have to solve that day.  It’s easy to jump immediately into your day without setting an intention and, yet, that is the most creative energy of your day.

You don’t have to wake up and compose a concerto but you can use those first waking moments of the day to create the day you would like to have.  If you set yourself in a grateful, giving, curious energy before you even get out of bed then whatever happens to you that day will be merely a lesson to be learned.

Tomorrow morning, wake up and tell yourself that you can gracefully handle anything that life throws at you!  Wake up and think about someone you can help.  Wake up and smile with gratitude for something in your life.  Then go out there and make it the best day ever!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “How to have a good day – smile for no reason!”

March 14, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

We are ready to give you a little nudge to move you in the direction of Conscious Living.  How conscious do you feel you are these days?  Are there blind spots in your focus?  Are you extending your consciousness into all areas of your life or are you only being aware in certain circumstances?

Now is not the time to play the ostrich.  You cannot bury your head in the sand and expect to live fully on Planet Earth at this time.  The Mother is asking you, begging you to participate.

Every day invites you to recommit to living a Conscious Life.  Every morning, before your feet even hit the floor, start the energy of gratitude flowing in your heart.  Be grateful that your mind is intact and that you are opening your eyes.  Think of something, no matter how small or large, that you can use to really ramp up the gratitude in your heart.  Focus on that energy for a few minutes.  Then watch it grow until it encompasses you and the coming day.

Only then do you open your eyes, so that you see through the energy of gratitude when you look at every event and situation in your day.  Create a smiling face, whether you feel like smiling or not, because that energy will magnetically attract smiles to you.  Think of something that you can do for others today and allow that energy of giving to flow through and in you.  Think of someone you love and tell them so as soon as you are able.

Then put your feet on the floor.  If you have ramped up your energy like this before you even get out of bed then you will have a good day.  Notice that we didn’t say that everything will go your way, because that is not the definition of a ‘good day.’  But no matter what happens, if you have gratitude and generosity flowing in your heart on any given day, then there is nothing that can be thrown at you that you cannot handle, that you cannot learn from.

Try smiling for no reason.  Smile at the person pumping gas next to you.  Smile at that grumpy person in the store.  Smile at the person that you work with who seems to always be in a bad mood.  Just smile.  Watch how magnetic that smile can be.

Start the day this way and commit to yourself that you are going to be conscious throughout the day of your thoughts and actions.  Are you choosing to act from your authentic self?  Are you being conscious of your choices?

Start the day with a smile of gratitude and then be aware of every choice throughout the day.  You’ll go to bed with a smile on your face that night!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Sirius Mystery Temple

March 8, 2011 — Rosemary

This message comes from the teachers at The Sirius Mystery Temple who are giving me teachings about the Fifth Dimension of Consciousness.  I am researching the Twelve Dimensions and these teachers are in a dimension around the star Sirius.  This channeled teaching is about the Consciousness of Money.

“Money is an exchange of energy between two parties who have agreed upon its value.  That is it.  Money has no value outside the transaction that establishes its value by the agreement of two parties.  Just as a house has a set value only when two parties contract to exchange the house for money at an agreed-upon amount.

“Those who hoard money do not understand or appreciate that money is intended to be in circulation in a society.  Money is an energy flow and, as such, must be kept flowing.  Because its value is determined by an agreement between humans (or entities) then there must be a flow of energy.  Those who spend more money than they have are also interrupting the flow of energy because the agreed-upon value of a transaction does not have the energy it needs to flow.

“Monetary systems create artificial value that does not have the appropriate energy in it.  This is why they can collapse.

“Those who are working to expand their consciousness must examine their relationship with money.  If they are afraid to spend it then they must examine that fear.  If they spend too much then they must examine why that is so.

“The rules of a Conscious Relationship with Money are as follows:

  1. Do not allow the energy of money to stagnate with you.  Hold onto what you need to feel secure.  Designate different funds with a purpose for the money in them so that a use, an energy, is attached to that fund.
  2. Share money with those who are not conscious enough yet to create wealth for themselves.
  3. Do not owe money to others.  Pay your debts.  Create a spending plan and stick to it as well as you can; i.e., do not overspend.
  4. Do not allow others to take your money from you.  Collect what is owed to you.  Make conscious choices about giving away money.
  5. Share what you have.  Tip generously.  Choose charities wisely and support the causes you believe in.
  6. Examine your beliefs around money, especially the source of those beliefs.  If you are growing in consciousness then what your parents and grandparents believed may no longer be relevant.
  7. It is all right to use money for fun.  It is also all right to save some money.  Make conscious choices about both.

“The Consciousness of Money boils down to this:  Money is Energy.  It needs to flow.  Two people determine the value of money in every transaction.  Money has no intrinsic value.

“It is important, then, not to imbue it with any.  Do not worship at the altar of money.  Rather, see money as part of the flow of energy in the Universe.  Treat it as such.”

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC DREAM COMMENTARY from The Divine Feminine

March 1, 2011 — Rosemary

“Dear One,

“You have been given this dream that you might share it and its message with others.  It is time for the People of the Earth to rise up and declare their intention to live on Earth in The Divine Feminine Way.

“No longer can Mother Earth sustain the patriarchy’s abuse of her resources and her peoples.  You are seeing the culmination of the end times of the old paradigm.

“This does not mean the end times of Planet Earth.  Rather, it is She who will continue to exist and the People of the Earth who must change or leave Her.

“The old paradigm of power over others will collapse.  There are many who view this as immaterial to themselves because they believe themselves to be impervious to what is happening with ‘the little people’ – those they view as inferior.  They are wrong.”Those who perceive themselves to be impervious are the most vulnerable for they have the farthest to fall when their ivory towers are toppled.

“Those, however, who have lifted up their consciousness to higher levels have nothing to fear, for even death is not a threat to them, merely a doorway to Other Dimensions.

“The Way of the Divine Feminine is the most important focus for the coming days.  Taking care of Self and Others.  Focusing on what really matters vs. what one is told is important.  Finding strength, courage and confidence to go out into the world with one’s unique message for humanity.  THIS is what is important.  The leaders of oppressive institutions — governments, churches and corporations — will topple from the heights that they believe to be their rights.  The people who destroy the base of these self-proclaimed temples will triumph and the people who remain will create community from the wreckage of the old institutions.  The time is NOW for radical change.
“And so it is.”
___________________________________________

Let me just add a word or two here about the term ‘end times.’  There are those who would say that the world is ending and ‘they’ are going to Heaven while the rest of the inhabitants of Earth will be condemned to eternal flames.  This is not happening.

But there must be changes in the way that we live on Planet Earth in the coming times.

Examine this dream for any particular message FOR YOU.  In the great collective consciousness we dream for each other.  As I continue to work with this dream I keep finding new information, guidance and wisdom.  Feel free to use this dream as part of your exploration of these times.  You might get a different message or an enhancement to what is contained here.  You might find something very personal that is revealed to you by examining this dream.  Use it as a starting point in doing spiritual exploration.

And ask yourself about the ways in which you can manifest The Divine Feminine Way in your life today.

MUSE-INGS: Be in This Moment by Rosemary Bredeson

February 22, 2011 — Rosemary

Sometimes we look at a task before us as if it is a huge undertaking and the enormity can paralyze us.  We react by sticking our head in the sand, or procrastinating or distracting ourselves with ‘bright, shiny objects.’  And, yet, if we break the task down into smaller bites, we can accomplish those and make progress toward our goals.  We just forget that we already know this strategy.

In our daily lives, we can be overwhelmed with our ‘to-do’ lists and we forget that we are a part of a community, that there are others who have needs and we can make their day better by doing something small that feels huge to that other person.  The key to doing this is to being alert to opportunities.  Living a Conscious Life brings us into the Consciousness of the Moment – living each moment with full awareness, of Self and Other, so that we can fully participate in that moment.

Think about how many mindless things you do in a day.  How many minutes do you think you spend in activities that you perform by rote? How much of your day is spent being unconscious or thinking about something other than the activity in which you are engaged in that moment?  You wash the dishes and you think about your to-do list for tomorrow.  You take the dog for a walk and you’re planning your day.  You pick your children up and you are on the phone in the car while they are playing with their toys.  You and your spouse go through the mail and don’t talk to each other at all.  The list goes on and on.

Mindfulness is a practice where you are fully present to each moment of your day.  If you are washing the dishes then you are focused on the washing of the dishes.  You notice the temperature of the water.  You examine the plate to make sure it is clean and you appreciate the food that it held for you to eat.  You get the picture.

So what if you were to go through your day with that same kind of mindfulness focused on the people with whom you interact?  What if you paid attention to the people in line with you in the grocery store?  What if you stopped and listened for a bit to the street musician and then threw some money in the jar?  What if you really acknowledged the server in the restaurant or the receptionist in the office and asked, with genuine interest, how their day has been?

It doesn’t take much to make a difference in someone else’s day but too often we are so focused on the next thing we have to do or how well/badly the last thing we did went that we forget to be fully present to the moment we are living right now.  This moment is here only once in our life.  Every moment that we spend thinking of other moments is thrown away from the time of our life.  We can never get it back and time is our most precious commodity.

Now think if you used an awareness of this present moment as an opportunity to improve someone else’s life.  How would you feel at the end of the day if you took advantage of every opportunity like this?

Pretty darned good.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: One Small Step…

February 21, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

What is the one way, the most important way, that you can improve someone else’s life today?  What one thing can you do to help someone feel, at the end of today, that they are happier, more successful, more loved, a better person?  And how will you feel after you have accomplished this one thing for someone else?

Start each day considering the opportunities that you have each day to improve someone else’s life.  The action could be as simple as doing your work to the best of your ability so that everyone around you benefits.  It could be smiling at every person you meet because you never know if one of those people was desperate for a smile.  One phone call to a loved one or an old friend could brighten their day.  A dollar to a homeless person that you pass on the street could make a difference.  Treating someone who serves you as a person and not as an ignorable servant could make that person feel important for a moment.  Each of these actions is simple and easy for you to do but could be hugely significant to the recipient of this action.

And then there are the more complex, perhaps a little more challenging actions you can take.  Is there a cause that you can contribute to today, time or money or support of some kind, that could make a greater impact on something important in the world?  Is there someone you need to contact who might be feeling neglected or unloved because you have been too busy to be with them and can you find time today to give them a call or a visit?  Do you know someone who is in the hospital who would be cheered if you took the time to stop by or call or send a card?  Again, these actions would not be terribly difficult for you to accomplish but they could be very important to the recipient of your concern.

On a deeper level, is there someone that you need to forgive?  Some situation that you need to resolve?  Is there a relationship that needs healing?  A person you have wronged and don’t know how to make things right with them?  Maybe there is a family member who feels you have misunderstood them or their actions but you are too stubborn to let them explain or correct the situation.  Is there someone who has misunderstood you but you’re too proud to go to them to try to clear things up?  Today is the day to take care of a situation of this kind.

Whatever you can do today to create positive energy in the lives around you benefits you as well as the other or others in that situation.  You feel good when you have helped another person have a better day.  You feel good when you have improved someone’s life or helped a worthy cause to have more effect in the world.  You feel better when a sticky situation has been resolved or when a misunderstanding has been cleared up.  You benefit from taking the first step toward clarification, resolution, improvement.  And so do others.

Think about what one thing you can do today for others.  Do that one thing.  Do it because it is better for the world if you do one thing for another. You will be happy that you have taken that small step and your life will be the one that improves.

Take one small step for a human and it will turn into one giant leap for humankind.  [Thank you, Neil Armstrong.]

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Purpose doesn’t depend on Pounds [or Dollars]! by Rosemary Bredeson

February 15, 2011 — Rosemary

I’ve been attending a lot of business seminars lately and they all seem to be focused on making more money.  Of course, people are in business to make a profit but I wonder if somewhere along the way we’ve forgotten WHY we want to make money.

Or maybe we’ve just forgotten the BIG WHY of each of our lives.  Have you ever questioned why you are incarnated on Planet Earth at this particular moment in the history of the Universe?  Do you really believe that the answer is ‘to make money’?  I’m guessing not.  So why are we so focused on the Almighty Dollar [or Pound Sterling or gold coin]?

I think the answer lies in the setup of the environment in which we find ourselves.  Some people tell us that making money is everything and others imply that it is a bad thing and we should give all of our money to them.  Hmmm….  What is wrong with this picture?  It seems to give power to money instead of power to the person who controls a commodity that we have collectively imbued with a certain value.

Now look at what we are being told in this message about our Life Purpose.  Are you in touch with what your Life Purpose is?  Do you feel that your current life is in alignment with that purpose?  If not, do you have a plan to discover your Life Purpose and to bring your life activities into alignment with it?  Maybe that should be at the top of your to-do list.

Who are the people in your immediate environment?  Do they support you in pursuing your dreams?  Will they support you if you decide to make some changes so that you can be more congruent with your Life Purpose?  Are THEY living in alignment with their Purpose?  What is their attitude toward money and happiness and having the resources to pursue their dreams?

Think about the energy of your own environment, both internal and external.  What are your beliefs about happiness?  About money?  Do you even know how to access your internal feelings and beliefs?

At this time in human history we must all be moving forward in our growth toward greater understanding and the evolution of human consciousness.  Having the resources to allow us to pursue higher thoughts, to examine philosophies, to move beyond survival into living a greater purpose on the Planet – these are qualities of an evolving life and the time and inclination to pursue these endeavors require that we have a certain freedom from worrying about money.  The person who is living on the streets is not free to ponder the greater scheme of things.  If you are reading these words you are probably enjoying enough resources to consider philosophy beyond pondering where your next meal is coming from.  Even if you are struggling financially, can you see that being in alignment with your Life Purpose creates a relaxation and a flow of energy that allows and invites the Universe to provide you with even more resources?  It is worth the effort to delve into determining your Life Purpose and to examine your beliefs around money and happiness.   Many people are joining you in this quest at this time.

It IS time to do this work.  All of humanity is asking each individual to lead a self-examined life and to contribute to the evolution of the collective consciousness of the Universe.  When you respond to the call to do this work the Universe has an obligation to provide the resources.  Don’t be afraid to do the inner work required.  You will be rewarded by being shown the ways to make the money to give you the freedom you need to live your Life Purpose.  Join the evolutionary movement!
