Dear Ones,
Instead of having conversations with people around the current situations on Planet Earth, especially in the United States, we would have you redirect the conversations to specific steps that people can take.
First, people need to go inside their hearts and find the space of peace, of centeredness that is their Being. They must breathe into this space for a moment.
The next step to take is to step up above the situation being discussed and to see it from a Higher Perspective. Why would the Universe allow this situation to exist? What good can come from this situation?
Having a perspective on the positive possibilities that exist in the situation, each individual must then ask, ‘What is mine to do about this situation?’ Each must be patient for the answer to this question might not become obvious immediately. If the answer is not clear then one is to take no action at that time. This includes continuing the discussion at hand.
Sometimes the next step is to educate others. This can take the form of more discussion, the suggestion of reading material, or a sharing of knowledge and resources. People are very emotional and are especially clinging to their fear of coming changes because they have been told to fear the very possibility of change. Yes, it is the mere mention to some that things might change that drives them into panic.
Consider the source of this panic. It is not the possibility of catastrophe that has them so panicky – it is the possibility that things might change. Even if they are uncomfortable with the way things are currently they have been trained to approach all things with fear, especially a change from the ‘status quo.’
This tactic has been used to control human beings since the first hierarchical structure was put into place. If one person can put another person (or group of people) into the energy of fear, then that person gains control by offering to protect people from that which they fear. The original source of the fear may be fabricated, but it does not matter to the unconscious mind of one who is fearful. They long to have someone to protect them from that which they fear.
Now go back to a conversation about what is happening around you and notice that fear can lead to anger looking for someone on whom to place the blame for this fearful state. People settle on blaming whatever they are told to blame. (Remember that in their fearful state they are easy to control and to lead where the controller wishes.) When you find yourself in one of these conversations be careful to avoid becoming a controller of others. Share what you know and invite the others to go inside themselves to find their own empowerment.
It is only from this place that true change, in the direction of the evolution of human consciousness, can take place.
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Choose to Think Thoughts Filled with Light
April 7, 2010 — RosemaryWhere is the source of your latest thought?
Sometimes I find I am scattered and my thoughts come from everywhere. Often I follow one then get sidetracked by the next stimulus and go off on a tangent. The trouble with that is I can quickly forget where I was going in the first place!
It seems that hitting the ‘pause button of my mind’ is the skill that I need to exercise the most. I stop, breathe, then breathe again, and clarity returns.
I am aware that many thoughts seem to pop into my head from somewhere outside. Sometimes it’s even my mother, a wonderful woman who has been on The Other Side for over 10 years! But that voice can help me see what I am looking at through new eyes. Sometimes it is an old tape that is playing in my head and I have to catch myself as an observer to notice that that tape no longer has relevance in my life. It seems to be so easy to cling to the old ways of thinking because they are automatic, a knee-jerk response to a stimulus.
But once you have decided to live a Conscious Life you must catch yourself in EVERY knee-jerk response. The question to ask is, ‘What is the source of this thought?’ If the answer is that you have considered many options and at this time you have chosen consciously to believe something, then stay with that thought and follow it. If, however, you answer that the thought came from your childhood or your friend at work or from a discussion with a neighbor then reassess its value in your current life. Why would you spend time and brainpower following a thought that comes from a past prejudice that was instilled in you by someone who hadn’t had the opportunity to examine and discard that prejudice? Why would you adopt a contracting thought, one that makes you feel smaller rather than expanded, just because someone at work planted that thought or reaction in your mind?
Living a Conscious Life asks you to bring forward your thoughts into the Light and to examine them. There is a quality to thoughts called their ‘Light Content.’ Thoughts that have a high Light Content feel expansive, take you outside of your small ‘s’ self and into the realm of the capital ‘S’ Self. When you spend time with high Light Content thoughts you will feel yourself touching the world of creativity, of acceptance, of connection.
On the other hand, thoughts of little Light Content feel darker, heavier, more contracting and very personal, without room for others to fit into the thoughts. Sometimes these thoughts are old thought forms that no longer serve in the 21st Century but are still being held by those who choose not to grow. These will not serve you in your path of personal and spiritual growth. Learn to recognize them when they cross your path and choose to move forward, discarding their heavy energy.
Choose to think thoughts that are filled with Light. Choose to hold onto beliefs that serve your growth into expanded Light. You are always at the point of choice. Choose growth. And enjoy the Light!
