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: “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: “Is your lens dirty?”

January 10, 2011 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

We are seeing many people who are excited about the new energy of this time but others are struggling with the old baggage of emotional drains that they are carrying with them.  The future cannot look bright when seen through the dirty lens of all the old emotions, energies, hurts and disappointments.  If you identify yourself as one who is looking ahead through a lens from the past, then resolve to clear that lens and choose to look at your future in The Light.

The way that you perceive your Life, past, present and future, is a choice that you are constantly making.  Are you focused on disappointments?  You will bring those from the past into your present and future as you look at your Life.  Do you spend a lot of time thinking about things that have gone wrong?  You will be seeking that which could go wrong in the present or the future.

Or do you think about, dwell on, remember the good things that you have experienced?  The times you have enjoyed love and laughter and fun?  Do you focus your attention on the people that you have enjoyed or that you are enjoying today?  Do you remind yourself that you are loved into existence by a Universe that wants to support you?  When you think about uplifting ideas, remembrances or thoughts you actually lift your own vibration with The Light.  And you are always choosing where to focus your attention.

In every moment you decide where you will place your attention and your focus.  Even if you have a natural tendency to focus on the dark or what is not right or what could go wrong, you make a choice whether or not to follow that inclination.  Decide now that you will consciously choose to focus on where The Light is shining the brightest in this moment.  Make that decision and you will start to notice that there is always Light around you.  Even in your darkest moments, when it seems as if there is no Light shining anywhere, there is always a glimmer of Light to be found if you but search for it.

Think about the image of a dirty lens through which you are looking at your Life.  What will it take for you to clean that lens today so that you can see a brighter future?  What can you do in this moment to notice that The Light is with you right now?  Why would you or anyone choose to dim The Light that is always shining?

That dirty lens was encrusted over time by experiences that you decided were uncomfortable or unhappy or wrong or unjust.  Your judgment created the dirt on that lens.  Every experience that you have had has carried with it a lesson for you to learn.  Every thing that you have gone through, every moment you have lived, has created the wonderful human being that you are today.  Every speck of dust on that lens has stayed there because you haven’t yet been ready to clean the lens and let it go.

Decide, right now, in this present moment, that you will look through a clean lens at what is before you, now and in every future moment.  Decide that you appreciate your Life Experiences for what they have taught you but that you do not need to carry them with you as a way of defining the present and the future.

All you have of your Life is this present moment.  Your past and your future exist in this moment only.  Limiting your perceptions by carrying the emotional residue of the past with you, or narrowing your perspective on the moments that are yet to exist because you choose not to see all possibilities, are choices that you CAN make, but do you really WANT to make those choices?

Choose to see The Light as it is presented to you in every moment.  Choose to see through a clear lens at the possibilities as they unfold before you.  Leave behind you that which does not serve you today.  Decide to Live in The Light.

You will love the energy there!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Are you living life with gusto?”

December 14, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

Life is to be lived with great gusto! Where is your enthusiasm for your life? Are you starting and ending each day with gratitude for your blessings or are you focusing on what is not working for you or on what you lack? It is difficult to find the gusto if you can only see what is missing in your life.

Every breath that you take is a miracle of Life. You are living on Planet Earth at this very moment because your Soul chooses to have you experience this time, the place you are standing and the people around you in this present moment. How wonderful it is that you are even able to receive these words!

Give yourself permission to enjoy your next inhalation. Focus on your breath for a moment. In. Out. In again. Out again. Be grateful that you can breathe. Think of all those around you who are also breathing and be grateful that they are in your life. Even those with whom you are not well pleased are in your life so that they might help you to learn lessons so be grateful for the opportunity to learn.

Look around you today with a sense of wonder, of curiosity, with gratitude for everything that is around you. Smile, for your smile will raise the vibration of the air around you and will bring a higher vibration energy to all those who see you smile. Ask yourself what you can do to keep yourself comfortable while raising your vibration and sharing that higher frequency with the world. You might find that you are moving beyond your so-called ‘comfort zone’ to do this but you will quickly become more comfortable with a higher frequency energy and this will catapult you into higher and higher levels of satisfaction with your life.

Does this make sense to you? Lifting your vibrational level brings you more satisfaction with your life. Your life doesn’t have to change to be more satisfying – you do. And once you realize that this is true you will have more control over your life. Change how you see the world around you. Are you sorting for what is wrong or are you enjoying what is simply there? Are you focusing on lack or are you reveling in the gifts that abound? It is all about your perception of reality, for you create your reality with your attitude toward your life. Even if facts and data don’t change you can change your feelings, your attitudes and your perceptions.

Start by noticing your language. Are you celebrating with excitement what is in your life in this moment or are you allowing your thoughts to carry you away from the celebration that is available to you? How are you speaking about this moment? When you become aware of your language you can easily change what you are saying so that you language what you wish to feel. The half-empty glass can make you feel less celebratory than the half-full glass, so make a decision right now that you will see the glass as half-full.

Speak of higher vibration thoughts when you talk to others and you can help them to feel more excitement, too. Focus on The Light in the World, not on the darkness. Focus on what is beautiful and exciting and wonder-full in the world and your energy will be infectious. It is okay to infect others with enthusiasm and this happens naturally when you are living your life with gusto!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: “Practice Making Conscious Choices!” by Rosemary Bredeson

December 7, 2010 — Rosemary

Choices.  Choices.  Choices.

Sometimes it feels as if we have too many choices and at other times that we have no choice.  It really does help to move up above a situation so that we can gain a bigger vantage point and see that there are always choices to make.  When we focus so narrowly on only one possible path, seeing only one possible choice, we limit ourselves and can feel powerless over our lives.

The first step in improving a situation like this is to pause and breathe.  Taking a deep breath actually moves our internal state into one that can see beyond the tiny perspective we have when we are holding our breath or breathing in a shallow manner.  So take a deep breath now to remind yourself how it feels.

Then allow yourself to metaphorically step back from the situation and look for the list of all possibilities, include those you might laugh at because they seem so outrageous.  Go ahead and laugh but put those outrageous possibilities on the list.  Then keep listing options until even the outrageous ones are exhausted.  This keeps you moving beyond feeling powerless and into a bigger energy.

How do you make a choice from among the list of possibilities?  Do you have a system that you have been using?  How is that working for you?  Do you feel confident in your choices?

For some people, the best choice is to delay making a choice.  Some people need time and space for decisions to percolate within them.  Others need to discuss the options because they process better by talking than by sitting alone and thinking about them.  Some might flip a coin or ask a trusted advisor.  What is your system?

If whatever you’ve tried in the past doesn’t give you great confidence in the decisions you make now, try a different system.  If you’ve relied on the past in working it out by yourself, why not try discussing a choice you have to make with someone else?  If you’re used to asking for advice, why don’t you try examining your choice from every angle by yourself first?  If you’ve never tried dowsing, why not get out a pendulum or consult oracle cards or try some other divination tool?

The point is to try a new approach to bring you into a consciousness about making choices in your life.  You are always at a point of choice if you allow yourself to see your life that way.  Learning to see your choices and to get in touch with your own empowered inner self leads you to become stronger in making those choices.

Find the Confident You by practicing your decision-making skills from a place of empowerment.  Notice how many choices you make in a day and then become conscious of every choice.  Are you ordering the same thing for lunch every day or can you make a different choice?  How about that Starbucks order – are you consciously choosing that latte or are you doing it out of habit?  What about the route you are driving – is it the one your intuition is leading you to drive or are you ignoring that inner signal to go a different way today?  Follow that inner guide.  Make each choice count today.

You will find that confidence depends on the skills you exercise in making choices, big and small.  Practice different skills to build your confidence.  Make conscious choices starting NOW!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “Is Yours a Values-Driven Schedule?”

November 29, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

It is time. Time for you to get serious about what really matters to you in your life.  Are you being consistent?  Do you say, for example, that family is important to you but do you spend all your time working?  Do you say that your personal growth is important but sports are taking up so much time that you have no time left to work on yourself?  Do you think that taking care of yourself is selfish and so you focus on giving to others until you are totally depleted and have nothing left to give, to others or to yourself?

There are so many ways that your life can reflect choices that do not seem to be consistent with what you believe to be your highest values.  We would tell you that time is speeding up, in ways you probably wouldn’t understand yet, but that you don’t have time to ‘play dumb’ with the time that you have.  In any given day your needs must be met in a shorter period of time than you used to have to focus on yourself.  There are many demands on your time and the days actually do seem to be getting shorter, not just in daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere!  So let us tell you why it is so important that you take time for yourself, every day.

The Universe and Mother Earth agreed that you were needed on Planet Earth at this very moment.  You agreed to incarnate, under the conditions you chose, to fulfill a mission on Earth during your lifetime.  You agreed with other beings that you would all be on Earth together and that you would assist each other in fulfilling those missions by being the person you agreed to be.

NOW is the moment.  TODAY is the day.  Do you feel that you are being the person you incarnated to be?

When you are focused on urgent and important activities you might allow yourself to get distracted from what really matters to your Inner Being.  Are you so busy that you are not being ‘you’?  Are you so distracted that you are feeling disconnected from your purpose?  These are the signals that you must take control of your choices on a daily basis and line up your energy with your values.

Have you ever examined your values?  Not just what you think you should write on a list that someone else might read, but we are talking here about your deep, essential core values, the ones that drive your life.  Your unconscious mind is operating based on a structure of values that might not match that list you would show to another.  It is a good thing to periodically examine the list that your unconscious mind adheres to.  It is also a good thing to think about what you would like your values to be and to examine your daily expenditures of time to see if they coincide.

Many people slide through their days taking care of urgent things but never getting to the items that feel important to them.  Are you one of these people?

And what value structure are you using to decide what is important?  Is it truly your own or have you adopted someone else’s list without questioning if this is in consonance with your own values?  This is easy to do, especially when you are in relationship with another person or people.  But it is essential that you pause and study how you are spending your time.  Are you giving an amount of time to what really matters that matches its value to you?

Think about these things as you go through your day today.  Who decided what is important for you today?  And how much time do you have for what is really important to you?  Take time for yourself, for apportioning your time according to your values is a sign that you are living a Conscious Life.

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: “What is the energy of your group?”

November 22, 2010 — Rosemary

Dear Ones,

When people gather together there is a new energetic created from the energies that each person brings with them.  Have you ever been in a group and felt one kind of energy and then moved to another group and felt another kind of energy?  This differential is created by the coming together of the individuals’ energies when the people interact.

Knowing that every group you interact with is creating an energy pattern by that interaction should stimulate your awareness of the energies that you participate in.  Examine how it feels when you are in the groups that you normally connect with.  How do YOU feel when in those groups?  Does it feel supportive? Calm? Energizing? Debilitating? Scary?  Sometimes one person can take control of the energy of a group and drag it into a direction over which the others have no control, and this doesn’t mean that that one person is necessarily the one who is doing all the talking.

Next time you are in a group, start to notice who is setting the energy pattern for the group and how does it feel for you.  Are you in a business meeting?  Notice who is setting the tone, the energy for the meeting.  Is it the speaker or is someone else in the room creating an energy?  What about a family gathering?  Next time your family is together, notice who sets the energy pattern for the family.  It might be the most silent of the members but everyone else is responding to their energy field.  Notice your social group the next time you are together.  What is the energy of this group, especially when they are relaxed?

Living a Conscious Life invites you to become aware of the energies around you at all times.  In examining the energies of groups, you must also look at your contribution to that group energy – are you participating?  What kind of energy are you putting into that group?  How are you feeling?  Are you holding back and letting others set the energy?  You are always at choice when it comes to the energies in a group.  You can put out the energy of the Light or you can hold all of your Light inside yourself.  You can join in with an energy that you might or might not resonate with or you can distance yourself from the group and the group’s energy.  In some cases, a group dynamic can shift with time and, while at one time you felt that you did resonate with the group energy, it has drifted away from an energy that you feel is compatible with yours.  This indicates that it is time for you to reconsider whether or not you wish to remain a part of that group.

Be proactive about examining the groups to which you belong.  Pay attention to the energies of the groups.  Many groups are shifting their energies at this time and you must stay conscious of the shifts if you are to get the most support from the groups of which you are a participant.  Family dynamics can change over time, too.  Be aware of the dynamics in your own family, or your extended or adopted families, and examine the energies as they exist in the present moment, not influenced by what has happened in the past.  Do you notice that people in the family seem to be holding onto patterns from the past without allowing themselves or others to grow beyond those old patterns?  Are people continuing to bring up events from the distant past so that those old energies become reignited in the present?  This can be a pattern in families, particularly those that don’t get together often and the holidays can often bring up old energies that have not been completely dealt with by the parties.

Make sure that you are living fully present to the moment.  Allow the past to be in the past.  Allow those events that have not yet taken place to exist outside the present moment and interact with others with the energies of the Now.  Pay attention to how you perceive the energies of any group that you find yourself in.  Ask yourself if this energy supports your personal growth, and if the answer is ‘no’ then remove yourself from the group, even if the group numbers only 2 people.  Protect your own energetic space.

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Smile and the World Smiles with You

October 26, 2010 — Rosemary

Seems we’re always getting messages about being happy.  Why are so many people feeling unhappy if it’s just a decision that we make?

Maybe the word ‘just’ holds the clue in the sentence above.

Making a decision to be happy seems counter-intuitive to what our society tries to make us believe.  Think of advertising.  ‘We’ll be happy if we just _________’ – fill in this blank with the product being advertised.  Or we convince ourselves that there’s just one more thing to acquire, one more person we need in our life, one more achievement we must accomplish, and THEN we’ll be happy.  This keeps ‘happy’ just outside our reach, because there’s always one more product, perfect person or achievement before we can REALLY feel happy.

What if we all, collectively, made a decision that we are going to feel happy RIGHT NOW, in THIS moment, with whatever we have, whoever is in our life, and whatever we’ve done so far?  Think about the energy involved in making that collective decision!  Imagine if we all looked around at each other and smiled from that place of a decision to be happy!  Wouldn’t that be a great feeling?

OK, so this sounds impossible, but is it, really?  I think about what it felt like when almost 200 people created a healing chi field of energy in Colorado Springs and then listened to the qigong master telling us to ‘feel the inner smile.’  We were only standing in a hotel ballroom with our eyes closed, but happiness was there in that moment.  And it felt good!

Maybe it is too much to expect that every single moment will feel like a happy moment but every time we become conscious of the present moment we can feel happy about something in that moment.  I remember my parents standing in the middle of Wilmett Road watching our burning house.  It seemed like such a huge tragedy, and I was thinking of my melting prom dress in my bedroom.  But Mom & Dad laughed about how the neighbors were bringing him martinis and her iced tea!  They kept saying, ‘Everything will be okay.  Things always work out for the best.’   How could anyone look at a burning house and find anything to laugh about?  Yet my parents laughed about iced tea and martinis!

There is always something around to make you smile.  If you are willing to open your eyes until you find it, you can have a glimmer of a smile form on your face.  Then share that smile.

One surefire way to feel happy is to help someone else.  When you move your focus from what’s wrong with/miserable in your own life and instead focus on helping someone else, you distance yourself from the energy of lack and want and connect yourself with the energy of giving.  There is a higher vibration in the energy of giving to others and this will ‘feel’ better.

The Law of Attraction says that we attract what we focus our attention and our thoughts on.  It’s pretty clear that if you are focusing on what you lack, what is not working in your life, then that’s the energy that you are sending out into the Universe.  When you shift your thoughts and attention to what makes you feel happy, you will attract more of that into your life.  It’s really very simple, even if it is not so easy.

So make a decision today to send out the energy of happiness.  Share your smiles.  Every time you catch yourself thinking about what makes you unhappy, shift your focus.  Even if you have to smile first and shift your thoughts afterward, it’s worth a try, isn’t it?

I’ll hold the intention that you will have happiness inside you today so that you can smile as you read this!  Happy smiles to you!

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: NOW is the time for the NEW!

October 4, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

Today is the day for you to start something new.  What would you like to bring into your life that brings the energy of newness to you?  What have you been waiting to start, to do, to have?  What is ‘the perfect time’ that you have been waiting for so that you can start, do or have it?

Every moment in your life is the perfect NOW for the NEW.  Do you realize this?  Whenever you find yourself putting something off, waiting for that perfect time, when everything else makes way for that new thing, that new energy, THAT is the time to catch yourself and pause with this question in mind – “Exactly why am I waiting?”

Are you waiting for someone else to line up to support what you are doing?  Maybe you can find a way to do it yourself, or to shift a bit so that you can at least get started on the project.  Are you waiting for the stars to align, the budget to support, your calendar to open up?  Are you waiting to lose weight, gain weight, change your wardrobe, change houses, get a new car?  Are you waiting to find the perfect _____ [fill in the blank]?

Lose this ‘wait’!

This moment NOW is the only moment you have.  Everything you need is here in this NOW.  Every resource is within you to make happen that which you need in your life.  Creativity is within you if you allow it to be expressed.  Resources are available if you open yourself to guidance and seek resources that you think you don’t have – where else can you seek them?  How can you modify your plans to use what’s available?  Who do you need help from?  Can you permit yourself to ask for the help you need?  What is ONE STEP that you can take in this moment NOW that will bring you closer to your goal?

If you find yourself resisting these words, then ask yourself if you have been waiting to start something because there is a block or obstacle in front of that something.  Are you using as an excuse something that is keeping you from facing the real obstacle to moving forward?  Do you really need to have all the resources lined up first or can you start and then find the rest of what you need?  Do you really need to lose weight, find help, have a new car or can you find step one to get the energy flowing in the direction of what you desire so that the rest can follow?  Are you focusing on the cart and letting the horse struggle at its tethers when it really wants to get moving?

What project, idea, program has been coming to your mind as you read these words?  What is one step that you can take NOW to move in the direction of that idea?  If we asked, what is one thing that you wish you could do that for some reason you have not started yet?  Would it be all right with you if you allowed that to get started?

Starting is the hard part.  Deciding to start can be even more difficult.  If there is an excuse why you can’t start, then look at that excuse and ask, “What is behind this excuse?”  Are you hiding from some personal work that needs to be done before you move forward?  It is easy to look at calendars and budgets and lack and say that these are the reasons that you cannot begin something, but they do not serve your forward motion in life.

Examine yourself.  Examine your life.  How have you been holding yourself back because there is some personal growth or spiritual work that is waiting to be done?  When you determine that this is the place to start, you will be amazed at how easily the rest follows!

And so it is.

THIS WEEK’S MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Create the Life of your Life Purpose

August 23, 2010 — Rosemary
Dear Ones,

Every one of you has experienced hurt, elation, pain, joy, love, hatred, fun, ennui.  These are a part of the human experience.  Do you use these experiences to learn lessons or do you curse the darkness and forget to celebrate the Light?  How you respond to life’s experiences defines who you are as human being on a path toward greater consciousness.

Many people live in such great fear that they cannot see the Light when it appears all around them.  They are searching for the darkness, searching for that which they most dread, and it is as if they have blinders on, preventing them from seeing what is good and gentle and friendly in their environment.  It is very difficult to get these people to open up to the Light available to them because their vision is too narrow to embrace it.

There are others who allow Life to happen to them.  They are passively awaiting the next experience, wondering what will happen, planning to react but not making the effort to be proactive.  These people are suffering because they do not feel empowered to create their own life.  These are the ones who can be taught that they can take action to bring their Life into focus when they claim the power to do so.

Still others are vigorously fighting their own Life Purpose.  They are in denial about why they came to Planet Earth, who they incarnated to Be.  These people project onto others the lessons that are theirs to learn.  They work at their lives without finding any joy in daily activities.  They seem to run in the other direction from growth opportunities.  Some of these are so hardened that they deride others who are on a path of growth.  It is a difficult situation when one must deal with these people because they are negative in their perspective and they do not support the growth and progression of others if it interferes with their plans.

Those who are learning their lessons, who embrace the creative energy involved in making Life be a fulfilling collection of lessons, who seek to manifest their Life Purpose on Planet Earth, are the ones who can find joy even when Life looks darkest.  These are the ones who see other people as fellow journeyers, not as impediments to plans.  These people know how to smile from their hearts, and how to feel Love and to offer Love in their daily lives.

Which are you?  Do you recognize a part of yourself in these categories?  Do you see a past ‘you’ in one of them?

Looking for the lesson in your experience gives you the power to grow, the power to make the lesson the important aspect of this moment, not the circumstance.  Do you realize how powerful you can be when you can step up above a circumstance to see it in relation to a bigger picture?  This is how one learns the lessons contained in an experience.  Open yourself up to learning something from what is going on in the present moment, for Life is always about this present moment.  Worrying about tomorrow or yesterday drains your energy and takes you away from the lesson and the personal growth available in this present moment.

Allow yourself to focus on your growth, which supports your Life Purpose.  Allow this moment to be a gift for you, no matter what the circumstances are.  Are you ill?  What is the message in the illness for you?  Are you worried about finances?  How are you deciding that you lack support?  Are you feeling that things are going well for you in this moment?  What can you learn from that and who else can you help?

There is always a lesson for you.  Keep learning the lessons and you will keep growing.  Create your Life to be in consonance with your Life Purpose.  Be who you came to Planet Earth to Be.

And so it is.
