Dear Ones,
We are concerned about the prevalence of hatred in the cultures on Planet Earth at this time. Too many adults are spouting hatred and hateful words and the children are learning that this is the way of the world. Nothing could be further from the Truth but if all the children see is hatred and prejudice then they will know nothing better as they grow into adulthood.
This situation must change if there is to be a better tomorrow for the young people.
Hatred of one culture for another has brought about many wars in human history and has damaged the forward progress of human evolution. It is as if humanity comes to a standstill when groups are spreading hatred around the planet. There can be no growth and prosperity when hatred is the overarching energy.
Now there will be those who say they enjoy great prosperity when there is war because they profit monetarily from the conflict, caring not who wins, loses or dies because they realize their profit regardless of the victor. But this is not true prosperity for the energy is not of abundance but merely of the accumulation of money with the blood of war tainting it.
But those who would be truly prosperous do not wish to do so at the expense of the lives of others. There is abundance in the Universe but it is not accessed through the doorway of hatred.
Think about teaching children to hate others. What does this benefit the child or the adult that they will later become? Hatred is a detrimental energy, to the one who hates far more than to the victim of that hatred. The energy of hatred causes physical harm to those who hold onto it. Internal organs are bathed in a kind of static electricity that damages the very cells of those organs. Haters do not live comfortable, healthy lives into old age because they have damaged their own electric energy fields. This also affects those who live around these people.
Is this what you want for your children? Do you really want them to learn by your example when you express your hatred for someone or something? What does that really mean to you?
In the 21st Century there are many human beings who are driven by a hatred for another group of human beings for various reasons – religion, race, sexual orientation, political beliefs, cultural differences, nationality, material possessions, beauty, accomplishments and a host of other reasons. And yet these other people are also human and deserve to be treated with respect if for no other reason than that they, too, belong to the human race.
There are also purveyors of hatred who enjoy charging up their audience to aim their hate energy at the ‘other.’ These purveyors are taking on an immense amount of the karma of their actions as they incite others to acts of violence, against themselves and other people. If there could be a vision of the magnifying effects of projecting hatred then perhaps some of these people would stop and examine their behavior. But too many choose to continue to behave with venom and a vituperative nature.
Your work is to examine yourself and your life and watch for the word ‘hate’ to show up in your speech. Do you commonly say, “I hate this!” or “I hate when _____”? Please remove this word from your vocabulary as it has an energetic effect on you even if you are not as mired in hatred as some other vitriolic persons might be.
Examine what you are modeling for the children and young adults around you. Is there a group of people with whom you disagree? Do you treat the disagreement as separate from the human being so that you can respect a person’s right to have a difference of opinion yet still see that they do not deserve your hatred?
Are you modeling tolerance for those who are different from you?
Choose to model love, the kind of unconditional love that all great spiritual teachers have asked of you for millennia. Love and accept those who are different. Agree to disagree on an intellectual level without hating the person who dares to argue with you. Teach your children to love others and to settle differences without hatred or war.
Mother Earth wants all of her children to live together peacefully. Hatred destroys her balance.
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: What is your unconscious mind deciding for you?
August 31, 2010 — RosemaryIt seems as if we’re always being told to examine our thoughts, our beliefs. That’s not as easy as it sounds.
I’ve worked with people who are literally shocked to discover some of the things that they believe. Our unconscious minds are powerful helpers in our journey of personal growth, but with that power comes an ability to derail our best efforts, the decisions we make consciously but without the agreement of our unconscious minds.
Does this sound difficult to believe? Let’s look at how powerful that unconscious mind can be.
You can breathe without thinking about it, right? You don’t go around telling your heart to ‘Beat Now, and Now, and Now,’ do you? Somewhere in your system is a controller taking care of all those systems so you don’t have to make a conscious decision to get your heart to beat or your lungs to expand. So why shouldn’t that ‘controller’ be making other decisions for you? Like how you will respond to a stimulus that is similar to what you experienced when you were 5 or 7 years old? What about that knee-jerk reaction you had? Did you consciously choose that or did it come from somewhere else?
Prejudice comes from training in our youth. In the show, ‘South Pacific,’ they say that you must be carefully taught to hate. But once those seeds of hatred are planted, you might not even know that you believe that someone ‘should be hated.’ Or what about those family stories that plant a seed about who you are supposed to be? ‘Our family always does…….’ [fill in the blank]. There can be some powerful beliefs ingrained in us as children that we don’t even recognize are at work.
And so, as adults, we go along thinking that we are in charge when the truth is that our unconscious minds are holding onto beliefs and thoughts about ourselves and the world that might not be valid anymore. The bogeyman under the bed might not actually be there but the little child within might still be afraid of a strange situation.
How do we use this information in our adult lives? The first place to start is to examine what we believe. In every situation, the question to ask is, ‘Is what I believe about this situation true?’ When we are responding to a particular stimulus, we can ask ourselves if the response is appropriate in this moment or is our unconscious mind adding on some data from previous experiences that might not apply right now. This ability to ask questions of ourselves is the first step to living a conscious life.
And we must question what comes at us and to us from outside sources. If you are told something that doesn’t feel right, pause and ask yourself what it is exactly that you are feeling. What, within yourself, is not resonating with this information? Or what IS resonating with this information, and can you believe something new or contrary to what you believed before?
These questions only help us if we have already started to examine ourselves. Being on a path of personal growth invites us to become aware in every moment of our own thoughts and beliefs. For some, this might require help at first, especially in clearing away blocks held in the unconscious mind and difficult to unearth for examination. The good news is that the more you practice examining your thoughts and beliefs the easier it is to continue. It rapidly becomes a way of life as your understanding deepens of the intricate relationship of your conscious and unconscious minds.
Personal growth is the path to bringing more Light into your life. Embrace the journey. Do the work. Examine what you believe, both consciously and unconsciously, and grow.
