ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: What’s New with You?

April 10, 2013 — Rosemary

Where is the newness in your life?  Are you in a rut?  In a routine that doesn’t allow you time and/or space to grow?

Now is the time to explore the ways in which you have gotten stuck and are holding yourself back from your expansive greatness.  Sometimes it seems easier to stay put, to stay where things are simple, uncomplicated, the same.  But are you growing?

If you are alive in a human body then there is something more for you to learn.  That’s what the human life is all about.  We are learning machines, from the moment we’re born and we have to figure out how to get around in this physical world.

Babies are growing and exploring and trying new things all the time.  All those ‘No!’ messages are helping the baby to learn what can and can’t be done, what’s safe and what’s not, what’s accepted and what’s not.  As we get older we start giving ourselves those ‘No!’ messages for very different reasons.

What would you like to learn or explore that you are telling yourself ‘No!’ so you will stop exploring?  What learning experience are you denying yourself because of a list of reasons that might, possibly, be excuses for maintaining the status quo?  How are you holding yourself back?

Brain science is discovering fascinating things about how we think and how we can change our thoughts.  Every thought either reinforces a previous thought or creates its new pattern in our brain.  The thoughts we repeat deepen the groove of that thought and make it easier to revisit.  New thoughts must be repeated to create a deeper pattern and, if left unvisited, will wither away.

What are your patterns of thinking and what would you like to change?  There are techniques for making those changes, and to change your mind you have to be conscious of your old patterns and the new patterns that you want to reinforce.  You can do this!

And what new stimulus is there in your environment to keep you growing?  Or are you content with the status quo and resisting forward motion?

Living a Conscious Life requires that you accept yourself on a path of growth and that you are proactive about seeking to expand your awareness and advance your understanding.  You are not the kind of human being who believes you are done learning new things and are content to sit around without exploring any new ideas.  You challenge yourself to grow and to explore.

This task is not as easy in a vacuum as it is with a like-minded tribe.  Who is your Consciousness Tribe?  With whom can you explore ideas, share thoughts without concern about judgment or condemnation?  Where are the people who will challenge you to consider a viewpoint that you haven’t considered before?  Do you have these folks in your sphere?

Or are you content to hang out with people who represent the ‘you’ of decades ago, who will not challenge you to think outside the box of your old ideas?

Your tribe is yours to find.  Sometimes we need a new tribe.  Sometimes our tribe grows with us and we can stay with the same explorers while we all expand our consciousness.

Are you being challenged to find something new in your life?  Ponder this thought today and then look around you and your day-to-day life.  Maybe it’s time to try on something new and see how it fits.

What’s new with you today?

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Think New Thoughts!

September 13, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

The measure of a person is not meant to be their business success or financial worth and it is not meant to be judged by others. Each individual must determine for himself or herself whether or not they feel that they are ‘measuring up’ to their life purpose, their reason for being on Planet Earth today.

How often do you ask yourself what your contribution to the growth of human consciousness has been today? Have you helped someone reach for a higher understanding today? Have YOU reached for a higher understanding today? What ideas have you spent your precious time researching or pondering or discussing? What new thoughts have you been evaluating? Whose spirits have you spent your energy uplifting today?

These are the activities of someone who is living their life purpose and contributing to the growth of human consciousness. Are you incorporating these activities in your day? And how do you evaluate your day? Are you valuing the time you spend pondering big questions or exploring new ideas, or do you only value the time in which you are being ‘productive’ according to society’s views?

When time is precious to you you realize that you have no time to waste on activities that do not advance all of humanity. Small thinking limits you and all those in your sphere of influence. Backward thinking, that is, embracing and idolizing the thinking of times past without updating that thinking to embrace new aspects of thought, holds back the advancement of all of humanity and serves no one except those who delight in having power over those who choose not to evolve. Be very careful not to contribute your energy to the efforts to hold back the advancement of human knowledge and consciousness!

Know that you can advance all of humanity by having one new thought and spending time pondering that thought. You create a new pathway in your brain when you have a new thought. You strengthen it when you think of it again, when you ponder that thought. The thought generates an energy, and that energy radiates from your electric brain into the collective consciousness and others can pick up on that thought and advance it. This synergy of thought pulls all of humanity onward in the growth of consciousness.

You might be wondering why this is important but we would say to you that it is the only thing that is important. Humans are designed to grow, to think, to think new thoughts, to wonder, to ponder, to cogitate. When people agree to stop thinking for themselves, when they decide to be only the followers of thoughts that are planted in their consciousness rather than to explore ideas on their own, then they are choosing to halt the advancement of all of human consciousness. Why do people choose to do this?

Out of fear. Fear is the reason that people hold back and ask to be told what to believe. People are afraid they will be disconnected from their tribe. They are afraid that they will be alone or unloved or even harmed if they disagree with the leaders to whom they have given their power. And people are afraid that, if they venture into the unknown they will lose their value to the group.

Many people refuse to dissent because they want to belong. This ‘herd mentality’ takes the entire tribe over the precipice into the space where they have no power to influence the outcome of their situation. It is important that you, as you learn to live a conscious life, decide that never again will you remain a part of the herd.

Step out and think the thoughts that take you into virgin territory, into the arena of new neural networks in your brain. Dare to explore ideas that those around you might be frightened of or might even disdain. Be fully human and test out new thought for yourself. Be fully human in the 21st Century and blaze a trail to a new consciousness. Everyone hearing these words has the potential to be this trail-blazer!

And so it is.

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are You Open to New Thought?

September 6, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

How do you treat the children in your life?  What is your attitude toward them?  The children with whom you associate are your lifeline to the future of your family, your society and your culture.  Are you planting seeds of greatness in those children or are you trying to make them smaller versions of you, in all your limitations, beliefs and past-focused thinking?

Children are brought into the world to be the way-showers of the succeeding generations.  They are not intended to become younger versions of their parents but many parents attempt to do just that.  How much freedom did your parents give you to grow and to become what you would?  Have you ever longed  for the opportunity to stretch beyond the vision that your parents might have had for you, or for themselves, to see what lies beyond what you could see?

This, then, is the gift that you can give the children in your Life.  Not just the ones that you have born in your body or sired yourself, but also those who are stepchildren, nieces and nephews, neighbors and godchildren, friends, family, children of the world.  Give the gift of a dream to the children who are on Planet Earth today.

If they are your children, what model are you giving them?  Are you continuing to expand your own horizons, continuing to learn and explore new ideas, trying new experiences, meeting new people?  Isn’t this what you would wish for your children to do in their own lives?  You must model this for them.

Do you find yourself always correcting your children, or holding them up to some standard, perhaps the one to which your parents held  you up, and judging them to be somehow deficient because they don’t meet those standards?  Do you feel that you always know what is best for them without allowing them to speak and to discuss their feelings with you?

We ask all of these questions of you because the way that you treat the children in your life demonstrates how you treat the new ideas, creative solutions and novel products or processes that you encounter in your life.  If you treat your children as the teachers that they really are, coming into the world with fresh new ideas about things you considered fixed in concrete, then you can grow through your experience of the world through the eyes of the children.  If, on the other hand, you believe that you have all the answers and they have only questions, then you rob yourself of the delight to be had in seeing through children’s eyes the wonders that are around you.  You cheat yourself of the possibilities for growth t hat are inherent in having young eyes size up a situation with a fresh perspective.  You deny the world the ‘new’ and condemn it to repeat the errors of the past, limiting the thinking of those who might, instead, expand thought into new realms of consciousness.

New ideas are brought to human consciousness with every minute of human existence.  Those who refuse to consider that a new idea has merit doom humanity to live in an unconsciousness that is filled with darkness, with little hope of the Light.  But those who are willing to be led by the children with new ideas, new thoughts, new beliefs are assisting all of humanity in the evolution of consciousness and will find themselves living an expanded life.

Listen to the children.  Suspend your limited thinking and expand what you believe so that you can see a new reality.  This is the excitement of the times.  This is the gift of the children to the adults of th e world.  Step into the wonder with them and let them hold your hand to lead you to more Light.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Can you live Oneness? by Rosemary Bredeson

May 17, 2011 — Rosemary

Are you connected with New Thought?  This seems to be defining a sort of movement among humans.  Are you willing to explore this?

We get so wedded to the beliefs and ideas in our own minds that we think they define reality. ‘You have to work hard to make money.’  ‘You have to be skinny to be beautiful.’  ‘Girls can’t do math.’

I could make a list a mile long and there would still be more beliefs at work. [As an aside, I’m glad I didn’t believe that last one because I did major in Math in college!]  But often these beliefs are at an unconscious level within us and we are unaware that they are at work in our lives.

But if unconscious beliefs are operating in our lives then what do we do to make a shift?  The first place to do this is to examine our beliefs.  Working with what we believe instead of trying to change the world around us is a powerful tool for personal growth.  If we understand the concept of Oneness we look through the eyes of connection to others instead of searching for differences to separate us.

I think we need to be open to the concepts that are being brought to our attention at any given time.  In political discussions, the question to ask is, ‘Am I looking at this issue within the concept of the Oneness of all or am I narrowing my perspective to my own position without regard to others or the whole?’  In our families, do we act in the world as if we are a unit or are we constantly competing with others?  In our work are we collaborative or competitive to the point of lying or taking unscrupulous actions?

In a personal relationship it is easy to act unconsciously in a way that does not take the other person’s feelings, views, beliefs into account.  What if, instead, we stepped into their shoes and looked through the lens of their reality and beliefs?  Might we see things differently?

Quantum Physics is showing us that there is a connection through space and time that calls into question a lot of our beliefs about a mechanistic Universe.  Modern mind-body medicine is showing us that our bodies are not machines but are so much greater than just some moving mechanical parts.  All of this is a part of New Thought.  We have greater understanding of The Greater.

More evidence arrives constantly to show us that there are other sentient beings in the Universe.  The Hubble Space Telescope, which it was my privilege to work on for 12 years, continues to reveal the secrets of the Universe so that we can better understand our place within this developing miracle.

The people who have lived with narrow, stifling beliefs about their superiority over others, about judging others and finding them failing, about the need to convert others to their beliefs because they have ‘the Truth’ are starting to lose their power.  Individuals are evolving into a New Human who understands that one can be a part of a whole, interconnected and related, while maintaining their individuality.

Ask yourself how you understand Oneness in the 21st Century. Does the concept bring up any fear in you?  Are you willing to see all who are inhabiting our beautiful Planet Earth as part of your own journey, for better or for education?

Just observe this week the people around you and see if you can learn something about New Thought.  Who is having the conversation about what is a growth topic versus what sounds like backward thinking?  Do not judge for that is not a factor of Oneness.  Merely observe.  And observe your reaction to what you see and hear.  Notice how others treat those around them.

Peace on Planet Earth will come when her inhabitants embrace each other as Earthlings.  Peace on a large scale requires that individuals experience peace within themselves.

May the experience of Oneness spread Peace upon the Planet.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “It is Time.”

May 16, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

It’s time.  It is time to break out of the mold of old ways of thinking and to try on New Thought if you wish to change the world.

Some people are trying to take the world backwards toward a fantasy world they’ve created in their own minds.  Others spend so much time railing about what is wrong in their world that they miss all the beauty with which they are surrounded.

Change for the sake of change is not the direction we are discussing here.  But change that allows the old thoughts, often as heavy as concrete, to break apart and to float away is the kind of change that allows an individual, a society, and the planet’s human inhabitants to grow into their greatest selves.

It is time that this happen.

Do not look to the world leaders to bring about this change, for they are too invested in the old ways to allow New Thought to influence them.  Do not look to large corporations for innovation from the New Thought perspective because they, too, are overly invested in the status quo.  Do not believe that religions will lead the movement into New Thought because religions exist in limited spheres of thought, with no room for New Thought to creep into their belief structures.  These religious belief structures are often concretized and keep people from exploring ideas beyond the boundaries of their own religion.

Those people on Planet Earth in the 21st Century who are willing to explore new ideas will be the ones who lead the change.  This change must start within individuals.  As more individuals grow, expand, and allow their inner light to shine, then more groups, communities, societies will be able to change.

The momentum is already here.  When you relax and get into harmony with Mother Earth you can feel it.  When you connect with a like-minded individual you sense this energy.

So what is New Thought?

New Thought emerges from an understanding that each individual who is incarnated on Planet Earth at this time is here for a particular purpose.  Discovering one’s Life Purpose and making that manifest in the world starts the conversion to New Thought in the society around an individual.  There is an energy associated with this process that stimulates those around a person who is living their destiny.

New Thought does not mean thought that has been generated only in the last few years for many of the ideas are centuries, even millennia, old.  But the thread of New Thought that has existed on the planet for millennia has been an undercurrent, not the main belief structure of the masses.

When one studies New Thought one learns that the individual is a part of a whole, that oneness is the principle at work here and that duality does not describe the coming reality for Planet Earth.  New Thought is founded on the concept that All Are One.  Moving in the direction of connection rather than separation is the hallmark of one who adheres to the beliefs inherent in New Thought.

If the principle of Oneness defines the coming energies on the Planet then those who advocate separation, duality, otherness, will not be able to be a part of the future energies on the Planet.  Their beliefs will create their parallel reality that will not be connected to those who understand New Thought.

This is a deep topic that must be studied, expanded upon, detailed and defined by experiencing Oneness.  If one has had this experience, one cannot undo the effect of the understanding that All Are One.  As more and more people have this experience the Earth will shift in many ways.

Make sure that you are one of the ones who grasps the concept of Oneness!  If you do not know where to start, find a teacher who can assist you in the journey.

And so it is.
