THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Happiness or Money – which do you really seek?

February 15, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Here is some guidance for you if you desire to live your life to its fullest potential.  Do not succumb to the allure of riches for riches sake.  And do not allow yourself to be distracted from your Soul Purpose in being on Planet Earth at this time.

We see too many people who are enticed into endeavors that promise to make them wealthy without feeding their soul or their soul mission.  These people are greedy for money and might even convince themselves that they are motivated by a desire to help others but greed for money does not result in happiness on Planet Earth.  Happiness comes from a sense of alignment with what is in the Universal Plan for one’s life.  Partnerships, family, love, a right livelihood, and service – all of these contribute to one’s happiness.

We are not saying that there is anything wrong with being wealthy or in having money.  On the contrary, the Light Workers of the Universe would rather see the wealth of Planet Earth given to those who would use money as an energy for helping others and serving the highest good of the Planet than to see the money concentrated in the hands of a few who withhold the money from others who need it.

Money is merely an energy exchange that has been agreed upon by humans on Planet Earth to have a certain value.  Everything that one does or has has a certain value attached to it, not always expressible in monetary terms.  But the value of money is determined by agreement between parties involved.  Markets around the world decide on the relative value of their different currencies.  Prices can be set by some authority or be determined by the exchange market between parties.  Money has no intrinsic value in the higher orders of life.

Is money, having money, gaining money a high value for you?  Then ask yourself what it is that you intend to do with that money.  Do you long for money that you do not have?  Then ask yourself why you are putting any energy into focusing on lack and shift your thinking to having all the resources you need to be happy.  If you focus on money for money’s sake, then you lose the ability to be happy when money is not the commodity required to gain that happiness.

For example, if you believe that having money will make you happy and focus on how you lack the money that you wish to have, you will drive yourself farther and farther away from having the money you desire.  If, however, you focus on being happy, on being of service, and on helping others to find happiness, then the Universe will support you in your endeavors to gain the resources that you need to support being happy.

Stop thinking about money and think in terms of resources.  Money is one resource.  What is it you really desire?  Is it money?  Or is it what money can buy?  Do you really want to be a slave to a job to earn money or are you really desiring freedom from worrying about money?  When you have money in your pocket now do you share that with others or do you tight-fistedly hold onto it?

Think about your relationship to the resources that are available to you in your life at the present moment.  Do you have friends?  Do you have a place to live?  Do you have work that fulfills you?  Do you know your Life Purpose and are you living it now?  If your answer is no to any of these, then get about solving those situations.  Allow yourself to let making money be a part of gaining something important to you.  You will be more motivated then to gather the resources you need if your intention is to have something that your unconscious mind values more highly than the dollar.  And the result will be that you will end up with more money!  Isn’t that interesting?

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Shift or Get Off the Planet! by Rosemary Bredeson

February 8, 2011 — Rosemary

Do you sometimes feel as if everything around you is in a whirlwind and you’re trying to stand still but it’s hard?  Or are you the whirlwind and everything around you is stagnant and not moving with you?  Either way you can feel out of kilter with what’s happening in your environment.

I sometimes wonder how some people can stand still when there’s so much exciting energy to step out with but a lot of people are holding firm to where they have been before because it’s comfortable, secure, safe.  I used to be that way, too.  But I learned that exploring the world of ideas, of Consciousness beyond the ordinary, was a far more exciting place to hang out than in a bar with those who just wanted to drink themselves into oblivion.  I’ve never understood choosing that kind [or, actually, any kind!] of oblivion so I’d be the one drinking club soda.  I eventually decided that I just don’t like the energy of that bar scene and avoid them like the plague.

It pains me sometimes to see people who choose to numb themselves to new concepts and ideas.  They don’t even use chemicals to do this; they merely shut down the curious part of their brains and follow a path laid out carefully before them without ever pausing to examine where they are and why they are there.  This type of person doesn’t question what they are told.  They are the followers who often live in fear.  Do you know some of them?

I remember when my daughter went through her ‘why, why, why’ stage of life.  Boy, it gets tiring to deal with those questions!  But I did love her curiosity.  She would get a cute look on her face as if she were deeply pondering that ‘why’ and she really wanted to know an answer that would satisfy her.  My answers didn’t always satisfy her but she kept plodding onward.  She still asks ‘why’ and continues to explore ideas.

Our sons were more inward in their explorations.  The older one studied lots of ideas in college and I remember his telling us about an experience he had during a play on which he was crewing and had a few moments before he was needed.  He sat and stared at his hand, pondering nothingness, when his hand disappeared and he realized that he could see the stage curtain THROUGH his hand.  Of course, this freaked him out but it left quite an impression on his young mind.

Do you foster exploration in the folks around you?  Are you ready to have a conversation about ideas that stretch your understanding?  UFOs? ETs? Nothingness?  Collective Consciousness?  Angels?  The Other Side?

Try bringing up one of these topics at your next dinner party.  It’s much more exciting than talking about the weather or sports!  Explore ideas with your friends and see which ones are willing to go there with you and which ones are afraid to step into those arenas.

Even better than talking to others, sit by yourself and ponder questions that your normal, busy life doesn’t give you time to consider.  Have you ever stared at the ocean and pondered the life beneath the surface?  Have you ever looked up at the night sky and thought about what is moving there that appears to be stationary?  When is the last time that you read a book that explored the current thinking about Consciousness?  Quantum Physics is now proving what Metaphysics has known for thousands of years – have you read anything about this?

Next time you’re in a bookstore pick up a magazine that you haven’t read before and explore some new ideas.  Then find someone to chat with about what you learned.  It’s time to step up to the responsibility to expand human awareness.  Tag – You’re It!!!

Now, Shift or Get Off the Planet! [Just kidding!  Just Shift!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Evolve or Evaporate!

February 7, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

The world is rapidly changing on its very axis and many people are walking on her surface with confused minds and unsettled hearts.  The energy of these times can be too much for some people to handle while others are plunging in to their transformations with vigor and enthusiasm. Which category is yours? 

Now is not the time to sit on the fence.  You must decide whether you are ready to grow or if you are choosing to ‘sit this one out.’  Each individual faces a personal crisis of transformation and for some the leap to their next level is a frighteningly huge one.  Again, are you committing to transform or are you choosing to stay where you are?  Or are you, as yet, undecided about that answer?

Decide now.  Transformation is before you, whether you know it or not and whether you are ready or not.  Each human being, no matter how old or young they are, is being called to commit to the coming transformation within.  No one can escape this.  Those who go willingly into transformation will find that they are comfortably changed on the other side of the process.  Those who resist but eventually go along will also be comfortable but it might take them longer to effect the change and there might be some discomfort before they settle down.

Those, however, who resist and regress, who decide not to step into their own transformation, will be very uncomfortable as the world around them changes and they no longer recognize their environment.  This is not to alarm anyone about catastrophic Earth changes or terrible things to come.  But the people who resist change will be left behind as the evolution of Consciousness eclipses their little minds.

Have you thought about yourself as a participant in the evolutionary aspect of the expansion of human awareness?  Each individual carries a responsibility to the evolution of Consciousness on the planet and they participate by expanding their own awareness into energies, spaces and dimensions beyond their old lives.  The teacher who focuses on fostering the creativity innate in their students is participating in the expansion of human awareness.  The person who meditates and stills the chatter of their mind taps into other dimensions where silence and answers live.  The business person who has a soul in their business instead of having a business that ‘sucks the soul’ from its employees is participating in the evolution of Consciousness.

How are you participating?  Are you a parent, raising a child who is allowed to reach beyond the visible into the imagination?  Are you a friend who encourages others to stretch themselves rather than fitting into a mold designed by someone else?  Do you see your role in relationships as supporting others in their exploration of ideas or are you pulling them back into what’s been done before?

Think about these things.  You were born into the time when the Earth needed you to help all of humanity expand.  Your spirit agreed before you were born that you would be here for this evolutionary moment.  All those around you coordinated their life plans so that you could share this moment with them.  This is an exciting moment in the evolution of Consciousness.  Stay curious.  Continue to grow.  Love Mother Earth for bringing you to her heart when you were most needed.  And participate in the growth that you are called to expand.

 

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “Lift the Basket from your gifts!” by Rosemary Bredeson

February 1, 2011 — Rosemary

If I were to ask you to make a list of your gifts, would you be able to do that?  Right now, writing them down?  Or would you have to ponder this and listen to that little voice inside your head that puts you down for thinking that you are ‘gifted’?

You DO have gifts.  Not everyone is a Mozart but everyone IS the composer of their own life.  You string together the notes of the melody by the choices that you make every day.  Big and little choices.  Are they harmonious?  Or do they seem discordant at times?  The harmonious times are the ones in which you are living with and sharing your gifts so that you are in flow with the World around you.

I know people who have the gift of peacemaking – they are able to mediate disputes, to settle arguments, to smooth ruffled feathers.  How upsetting situations could be around them if they kept their mouths shut and refused to negotiate peace.  Others have the gift of being incisive and organized and they share that gift with others.  Still others are musicians who play for the joy of the sharing.

Your gifts don’t have to be shared in your occupation or your work. You don’t have to go into business sharing your gifts, although you can.  Sometimes your greatest gift is to be shared with the people who are closest to you, those you live with, your family.  Search your inner self and be honest as you identify, accept and value your own gifts.

Look at your childhood.  What talents and gifts did you display?  Were you always drawing pictures?  Maybe you are creative at problem solving rather than painting art.  Were you always building something, from blocks, your Erector Set, model kits?  Perhaps your gift is to be the architect of new solutions to old problems, building computers or software, building structure out of chaos.

I used to play Catholic priest.  OK, I was a girl and the Church wouldn’t ordain me but that didn’t change the fact that I was always the one who lined up the neighborhood kids and played ‘Communion,’ where I would give them Necco Wafers instead of the host.  I went on to be ordained but not by the Catholic Church and Communion isn’t Necco Wafers but I do feel I have a gift as a spiritual teacher.

In my childhood I also saw things that others couldn’t see.  This was the seed of the intuitive gifts that I now use in my work as an intuitive coach and medium.  Imaginary friends are glimpses through the veil between dimensions and indicate gifts of a special kind of ‘sight’ in kids who have these friends.  Our granddaughter, when she was a crawling infant, used to comfort the other kids at day care when they got upset.  The nurse at the center said they called Makayla their ‘little healer’ because she could calm a screaming baby with a look or a touch.  All this before she could even walk!  Makayla does have a gift of healing that was evident as a tiny infant.

So what is your gift?  What gifts do you have that you have been hiding under a basket?  Maybe it is time now for you to lift the basket and share your gifts.

These gifts are meant to be given!  Thank you for sharing your gifts with the rest of us.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Give Away the Gifts You Have”

January 31, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

The energy within you, the gifts you have been given, are not for you alone.  You are meant to share your gifts with the World and especially with those who are close around you.

Do you mistakenly believe that you do not have gifts?  We would tell you that everyone who takes on human form on Planet Earth brings with them into this lifetime many gifts.  Are you not recognizing those gifts that are yours?

Start by looking at what other people value in you.  What strengths do you bring to your relationships?  What are people reflecting back to you about their relationship with you?  What are people asking you to do for them or share with them or advise them about?  The answers to these questions will bring you clues about your gifts and what they are.

Remember when you were a little child, what was your favorite game to play?  This, too, will give you a clue to your gifts.  What did you dream about becoming when you grew up?  What kind of books did you read or movies did you watch?  Can you look at your young life and see a pattern emerging that indicates what gifts you incarnated with?

The gifts you have are yours to share because you are a part of a Universal Plan that is unfolding as your entire Soul Group has requested it.  Each member of a Soul Group agrees before incarnating that they will hold a certain energy to support the growth and evolution of the consciousness of all the others in that group.  Throughout your life the contact with other members of your Soul Group may become stronger or it may lessen but you have agreed to be a part of the lessons that all members are learning.  They have agreed to help you to learn your lessons as well.

Your gifts are the parts of you that enhance the lives of others around you.  For example, one who has a gift of music must share that music and, thus, enhance the lives around them.  For you, your gift might be a gift of healing and you bring healing energy to those with whom you come into contact.  Perhaps your gift is the gift of making other people feel comfortable, and you will find that there are many opportunities along your path for you to do so.

Whatever your gifts are, make sure that you are sharing them.  If you are not sure what gifts you have, then work with someone who can help you to uncover them.  You have gifts – this is a certainty.  If you are looking for the gift of creativity and your gift is to hold the traditional form then you will not recognize or value your own gifts.  You must accept without judgment the gifts that are yours for they have a place in the grander scheme of Life on Planet Earth.  When you deny your gifts or refuse to share them then you are impacting far more people than just yourself.

Be open.  Be honest with yourself about your gifts.  Recognize, develop and share your gifts.  Your gifts are for giving to others.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “Greedy Hermit or Compassionate Conscious Being” by Rosemary Bredeson

January 25, 2011 — Rosemary

Well, I, for one, do not want to be a ‘greedy hermit’!

And, yet, sometimes it feels greedy to just want a little time alone when there are so many demands being placed on our time and energy.  How to strike a balance?

The first way to do this is to get in touch with what is going on inside you in this present moment.  Asking yourself how you feel, what’s happening inside with relation to outside, is an important tool to cultivate.  Oftentimes we go through our days on a sort of autopilot that keeps us from being really aware of the energies within and around us.  We plow through our to-do lists, going from one project or activity to another.  How many times have you said to yourself or others, ‘In a minute…’?  Can you find a way to pause and be fully present to this moment NOW?

When we pause and take a breath into this moment we are connecting with our body and our own energy and there is a lot of information available to us through this connection.  When we are aware, we can sense our feelings and the energies of those around us.  The more you practice this skill the greater will be your awareness of these energies.

For example, if you are blithely going through your day and yet a co-worker or spouse or child is struggling with their day, do you take time to notice?  Or are you so wrapped up in your own stuff that you are oblivious to that struggle?  It is not a judgment against you if the answer is ‘yes’ but this could be your wake-up call that sometimes you need to come up for air and, like a submarine’s periscope, scan the horizon for what is going on around you.

Do you participate in conversations or discussions without really listening to what others are saying, verbally and non-verbally?  Maybe you can start checking on yourself every so often to see where your attention has been and bring it back to connecting with those around you.

Watching your language, your tone of voice, making eye contact, your body language – all of these awarenesses can lead you to improving the connections that you have with others.  With more information about what is going on with the other or others, compassion can rise up in your heart and you can offer that energy in response to what is going on.  If you are clueless to what is happening around you, then you cannot connect to compassion.  And you want to.

Compassion is a very high frequency energy that is important to the world today.  The more we can share that energy the more the Planet can benefit.  One compassionate act can also bring others along with it.  The compassionate one can bring awareness to the clueless, can move the ‘greedy hermit’ into consideration of others.  Compassion can be contagious!  Wouldn’t you like to be the Typhoid Mary of Compassion?

Make a commitment to yourself that you are going to spread compassion this week wherever you find yourself.  At a gathering, look around for the person who seems lonely or alone and chat with them.  At home, look at the others in your household and really see them.  Ask questions and stay interested in their answers.  On the street or at the mall, try walking around smiling at people, saying, ‘Excuse me’ if you bump into them, or even if they bump into you.  Ask the server at the restaurant how they are doing and listen to their answer.  Spread compliments [heart-felt, please!] everywhere you go.  If you are looking for something to compliment you will not be focused on finding fault.

Become more aware of others and of what is going on inside you.  Awareness brings consciousness and compassion can spring from that.  See what it feels like to keep yourself in this high frequency energy!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Are you a ‘greedy hermit’?”

January 24, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

A Conscious Life demands that an individual be aware at all times of their thoughts, their feelings, the effect of what they are saying and doing on others, and the impact that every thought they hold has on the Universe at large.  One cannot live a Conscious Life while ignoring others around them nor can one choose to be a ‘greedy hermit,’ one who chooses to think only of themselves and to gather what they can to themselves without concern about the greater good of All or the impact to others.

This means that, if you wish to live a Conscious Life, then you must find compassion within your heart as you go about every decision in your day.

Compassion goes far beyond giving alms to the poor or volunteering at a homeless shelter.  Compassionate living requires constant attention to the people around you and those who will be impacted by your actions.  Are you throwing trash on the floor that someone later must bend over and pick up?  Are you expecting service from a restaurant worker and leaving a small tip or none at all?  Do you celebrate that a clerk in a store made an error in your favor on your bill, forgetting or ignoring the fact that that clerk must pay that difference out of their own pocket?

And how do you treat the people you live with?  Are you more courteous to your co-workers than to your family?  Do you excuse rude behavior at home because you are tired from working all day?  Do you have time for those who ask it of you, like a spouse or child or parent or friend?  Or are you constantly finding excuses to avoid giving your time to others who might want or need it?

What do your thoughts in a day say about your level of compassion?  When you pass someone in need, do you help or offer help or do you get angry at their being in your sphere?  What kind of energy are you sending out with your thoughts of and toward others?  How do you feel about debates in your society?  Do your decisions, about politics or contributions or choosing friends, come from a place of genuine compassion for others or do they stem from prejudices, fears, intolerances?

All of these questions can lead you to an understanding of how a person who is living consciously does not compartmentalize compassion.  When you choose a path in life that causes you to find fault with others, to criticize, to avoid interactions with those whom you deem unacceptable, according to some arbitrary criteria, then you are choosing a path away from the Path of Compassion.  You might not even realize that you are making this choice but moving through Life in an unconscious manner causes you to lack compassion because you are unaware of the needs of others.

Practice compassion in your Life.  Look around you with open eyes.  Evaluate what you are doing and thinking by expanding your awareness to all who will be affected by your actions and thoughts.  Really take the time to listen to others, to hear their hidden messages as they share with you.  Become aware of your voice, your tone, your look when you communicate with another.  Are you sending out the energy of caring and compassion or are you discounting that person?  Are you in a conversation listening to the other person or are you busy thinking about what you want to say, or what you think, or what all this means for you?

The ‘greedy hermit’ thinks only of what they want, what they think they need.  This kind of greed blocks the compassionate energy that all humans are born with.  Little toddlers will try to share or to comfort or to help.  When they learn to differentiate themselves from others they start to use the term ‘mine’ to try to define themselves and to learn where their boundaries are.  If raised in a compassionate environment, they will continue to share and to care about the feelings of others.  But if they are raised to grab all they can for themselves without regard to the consequences to others then they will learn to put on blinders and to shut down natural compassionate urges.

Model compassion for all around. Care.  Listen.  Share, especially yourself.  As you give this sharing energy into the Universe, the Universe will respond with the same kind of energy toward you.  Sharing keeps you from becoming a ‘greedy hermit’!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: There is hope for humanity! by Rosemary Bredeson

January 18, 2011 — Rosemary

If we can all bring our focus away from what divides us and, instead, work with the energies that unite us, we can solve the problems of humanity.

The evolutionary spirit of human beings depends upon an understanding of the connectedness of all Life.  The evolutionary process did not stop when a man chose to walk upright on 2 legs, or when the hairy beast lost some fur.  We continue to evolve and the Heart-Mind Center that is appearing in Conscious Humans is another sign that evolution is still at work on the species.

We NEED this evolutionary change at this time!  We need to figure out some new ways of being because a lot of the old ways no long work in the 21st Century world we live in.  The only important question is, Are you willing to evolve or are you struggling to hold on to the old ways of being?

How wonderful that we are being given a new energy center to help us in this process.  How kind of the Universe to help us along.  Are you willing to work to develop this energy center in yourself?  What does that entail?

Loving yourself is the first step.  Take care of yourself – body, mind, spirit, energy.  Many people are going to the gym but how many are going inside and meditating?  Many people are studying or delving deeply into intellectual topics but how many are expanding their spiritual understandings?

Loving yourself isn’t just about taking a spa vacation or taking time to be entertained.  There is an active quality about loving yourself that requires that you continually move in the direction of your highest good.  What stretches you to greater spiritual understanding?  What increases the Love in you that can radiate outwardly to others?  How can you come to a better understanding of the concept that All are One?  Do you ever wrestle with questions like these?  Do you have others with whom you can explore these ideas?

It is time to find community, a tribe, a collection of people who, like you, are explorers in the realm of Consciousness and who are open to learning that previously held ideas may no longer be valid.  Do you sometimes feel that you are the only one in your community who holds ideas that are considered heretical by some?  You are not alone even if it feels that way.

Humanity is waking up.  Eyes are being opened.  Hearts are reaching out for a purer vibration of Love.  Minds are questioning longtime notions that seem to have served their purpose and no longer apply to the 21st Century world.  Every time you start to question something you or others once believed, you are joined by others who are also questing after new knowledge.  The Heart-Mind Center is the point of connection between you.  Play with this concept and explore.  Find someone to ask who can explore with you.

All are One.  Every question in you is also in others.  Find them.

And remember that you cannot shut down your evolving Heart-Mind Center.  If you are part of this community and are reading these words, then the time for you to evolve is upon you.  Reach for your highest good in all things.  Many of us are reaching with you and for you.  You are supported.  The changes that are coming will be good for you if you keep your focus on growth.

All are One.  You are never alone for that would be a violation of the Law of Nature that All are One.  Take my hand and together we can walk forward and upright.  Then we can reach out for other hands to bring them along with us.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Your Heart-Mind Center is showing!”

January 17, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Is your Heart-Mind Center active yet?  This is the energy between your Heart Center in the middle of your chest and your Throat Center at your throat.  The Heart-Mind Center is a new energy center that is forming in those who are moving forward in their path of personal growth.  Not all human beings are developing these Centers because they have shut down the pathways between their Heart and Mind and are not giving voice to new ideas for the coming times.

Have you ever been aware of energy in this part of your body?  Some people have talked of a ‘high heart center’ but we are speaking of a different energy vibration.  The Heart-Mind Center combines the Heart and the Mind in a new way.  For many generations of human lives the Heart or the Mind has dominated.  Spiritual students have worked to integrate the two -‘As a man thinketh in the heart’ – but we would tell you that the Heart-Mind has its own vibrational frequency and is more than a combination of Heart and Mind.

The Heart-Mind is a new way of thinking.  Through this new Center one can connect with the dimension of Consciousness and breakthrough what has limited the development of human beings for many ages.  New thought originates in the realm of Consciousness and can be grasped by those who have expanded their own understanding beyond what peoples of times before have been able to comprehend.  The Heart-Mind allows one to see beyond the limitations of old ways of thinking because the Love energy from the Heart is present in the development of ideas and thoughts and beliefs.

The New Human is evolving from a person of compassion into one who can love with detachment, understand without needing to be understood and who understands that the new compassion is born out of the concept of the connectedness of all beings, not from the idea of mercy toward the needy or the lesser beings.  This concept of the Compassion of Connectedness begins in an evolving Heart-Mind where the energies of the Heart and the Mind are not separated but are integrated and are greater than the sum of the separate parts.  Heart-Mind Compassion has a higher vibration than the charity of those who see themselves as separate from others.

And so we ask you, Is your Heart-Mind Center growing?  Are you developing your understanding that Love must be a component energy in the thoughts that you dwell on and the ideas that you share with others?  And do you understand that you must first love yourself so that you can develop this Heart-Mind Center?

Love of self is not selfishness nor is it vanity.  Loving yourself is the most intelligent thing that you can do.  Those who commit heinous crimes against others do so from a place where they cannot find the ability to love themselves.  Those who judge others harshly or condemn them are operating without loving themselves.  Many who are self-righteous are that way because they do not feel loved and cannot learn to love themselves.  None of these people is capable of Heart-Mind Compassion because they cannot love those they see as separate from their unlovable selves.

When one unites the two concepts of the Love for Self with the Compassion of Connectedness then one understands that All are One with The Whole.  Connectedness is not about many separate entities being tied together.  Rather it is that All are One with The Whole.  Unity.  There is no separation.  I cannot love you if I cannot love myself because we are One.

Too many people are focusing on differences and separation and otherness.  It is the work of those humans who are actively participating in the evolution of human consciousness to grow the energy of their Heart-Mind Centers by focusing on Love – of Self, of Others and of The Whole — and by allowing the ideas from the Heart-Mind energy to expand awareness in the World at large.

Do not worry about those who do not understand for you cannot convince anyone to believe who cannot accept the basic concept that All are One.  Spend your energy on your own journey of understanding and on expanding your own awareness.

Your reward will be greater Love in your Life.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: What are your ‘old pajamas’? by Rosemary Bredeson

January 11, 2011 — Rosemary

That dirty lens can really distort what we see!

So many of our experiences seem to hang around with us.  Have you ever talked to someone who was clinging to some story from the past, telling it over and over but never seeming to be able to move beyond it?  I think some people in support groups like to tell their story over and over because it allows them to continue to think of themselves as a victim and they don’t see their way clearly beyond that state.

Or do you know someone who is ‘not talking to’ someone else because of something that happened years or even decades ago?  And isn’t it laughable when they can’t even remember exactly why they made that decision but they’re sticking to it?  We trip ourselves up this way all the time.  We cling to something from the past until it is like a pair of old pajamas, comfy but probably so ragged it should be relegated to the rag pile.

Why are we so ready to stay with the comfort of the familiar even when it isn’t truly that comfortable?  We do it all the time.  We choose the familiar when we have a choice because we know what it feels like and the ‘new’ has an unknown quality about it that might be worse than what we know.  How are you doing this in your Life today?  What is the ‘old pajamas’ in your Life that you are holding onto beyond its useful time?

In a literal sense, mine is an old [at least 25 years old!] Redskins nightshirt.  You can probably read the New York Times through it but it’s my comfort choice.  What’s your metaphorical Redskins nightshirt?

When I work with some clients, they are amazed at the ideas that are clouding the lens through which they are looking at Life.  We make decisions about what to believe when we are little children and those decisions continue to shape the way we see ourselves and our lives.  We relate to our families and friends and co-workers and we take in, at an unconscious level, what we perceive to be their attitudes toward us.  We may not even be correct in these assessments but we make decisions based on these mind-reads and they continue to have an emotional impact on us.  And we do not understand what is going on at the level of the unconscious mind if we don’t shine a light there and examine it.

Spend some time asking yourself if you have any ‘old pajamas’ in your Life.  What are you clinging to, what story or belief or thought about yourself, are you holding onto because it is familiar, even though it may not be in your highest good to continue to hold it?  The answer can be startling.  I’ve seen people remember something that happened when they were 5 or 7 or 11 that has colored how they see themselves since that time but they were unaware of that influence.  You might have relationship or business or spiritual issues that are stemming from some belief that you have held in your unconscious mind for most of your Life that you didn’t realize was at work on your emotions and your decisions in the present day.

Take a look around the closet of your mind and decide what you are ready to relegate to the rag pile.  Get some help with this if you need it.  ‘Old pajamas’ don’t need to be the only ones you wear!
