Dear Ones,
Living and loving with one heart gives you a unity of purpose in your life. Do you know what we are meaning here? Think about your heart and how many different ways that you have for loving – your life partner, your parents, your children, your friends, your work, your pets, your home, your car, your favorite sweater. You use the term ‘love’ to describe a feeling about all of these people and objects.
We are talking about ‘love’ in the sense of the verb that is sourced in your heart of heart, the place within your body where the energy of your higher energy centers and your lower energy centers come together. Your Heart Center is the place where the energy from Mother Earth comes up through your body and meets the higher vibration energy that comes through the top of your head from Source energy, the Universal Source of Love & Light. These energies meet in your Heart Center and you can make a decision to send this energy out to others in a specific way that is not about how you feel about them.
Think of the people that you thought you loved in your life but for whom your feelings dimmed when they failed to live up to your expectations of them. How many objects have you said you ‘loved’ yet discarded when they were no longer useful? This is not the kind of love that we are addressing here.
We want you to think of Love as an energy that connects you to another because you choose to make that connection. Think of your partner or child or grandchild or dear friend and think of holding them in a Love energy that does not have expectations, has no rules for them to follow, does not require reciprocation for you to hold them in that Love energy. This Love comes from Consciousness, not from feelings. This Love has no requirements on the other party. And this Love has a great benefit to you because it allows you to maintain your own energy at a higher level than that of feelings.
We understand that all humans experience feelings and we are not telling you that there is anything wrong with having feelings. But as a person who is committing to live a Conscious Life on Planet Earth then you are one who must learn about the higher vibrations of energies that take you above your feelings while allowing you to honor how you feel. For some of you this might seem confusing but there are ways that you can achieve this.
First you must learn to honor the feelings that do arise within you. But by honoring those feelings we do not mean that you must determine your choices in life only on how you feel. When you experience strong feelings you are being led to examine a situation or a relationship so that you can learn something in that moment. The emotion is a clue that there is something for you to examine and from which you can learn. The emotion is not the point of growth for you – it is the flag that tells you that you are in a situation that holds the potential for you to experience growth. Learning to allow your emotions to be teachers for you is a big step in living a Conscious Life.
For example, when you are in a close relationship with another person, you are, by definition, going to experience reactions and emotions in that relationship. Whether that person is a relative or loved one or colleague or boss, because you are both human, you will have feelings. But the awake and aware individual knows that the relationship does not hinge only on the feelings of a moment. The relationship is being forged in a whole collection of moments and requires that each participant be allowed the space and energy for personal growth within that relationship. When one person refuses to grow the whole relationship suffers from that decision. But when one person decides to operate in the relationship from their Heart Center, always holding the other person in the energy of Universal Love, then both parties benefit.
Do you see that the decision to hold another person, or a relationship, in the energy of Universal Love allows you to expand in your growth into Consciousness and allows the other person the opportunity to learn lessons and to also grow in Consciousness? The difficult part of this is that you have no control over what the other person chooses to do in this situation. They might choose to cut themselves off from the flow of Universal Love. They might choose to ignore the opportunity for personal growth that has been afforded them. They might even choose to turn around and attack you in the situation because you are not engaging with them at a lower vibration of energy. But this does not mean that you can or should change your connection to the Source of Universal Love nor does it mean that you are right or they are wrong. It simply means that you are operating in that moment from different vibrations of energy. And this has nothing to do with how either of you is feeling in that moment.
Making a choice to find the space within you that holds the energy of Universal Love and then to participate in all relationships from that place will change the world around you. You will find that the person who benefits the most from this is not the person on the other side of a relationship but is, indeed, yourself. And holding yourself in the energy of Universal Love is Self Love, the place from which any love for others must flow.
And so it is.
MUSE-INGS: How Do You Approach the Search for Inspiration?
April 20, 2010 — RosemaryThis Mystic Message [posted yesterday] addresses a lot of conversations that people seem to be having these days. Or have you noticed that a lot of conversations seem to devolve into arguments or hand-waving despair? I love that the Divine Feminine tell us to ‘redirect the conversation’ into the empowered place – what is yours to do in the situation.
I feel an urgency to get about my work on Planet Earth. A lot of others are feeling the same sense of urgency and are looking for guidance about what that work is. Are you one of them? How do you approach the search for inspiration?
When we focus on hand-waving and ‘woe is me’ thinking we stay stuck in the energetic space of the problem. It is only when we can move into the place of the Higher Perspective that we can see where solutions might lie. This is true of our search for what is ours to do, too. When we focus on the ‘not knowing’ we cannot see what information might be available to us.
This is not to say that sometimes it is the ‘not knowing’ that is important. Often times we must wait for the rest of a situation to catch up to us and so we are required to pause for a while. Some of us have a bit of a problem with that ‘pause’ phase, for we are impatient to get about the activity of the next step! But if we don’t feel clear about our next step we have two options: wait for clarity or seek help in determining what to do.
Both of these paths invite you into an empowered space. Go inside yourself and see if your guidance is to pause, to wait for further information or stimulus. This is not an excuse for procrastination or avoidance, but it does allow things to ‘gel’ in the Universe before you take an action. Trying to force something to happen before its time doesn’t work.
If you decide to seek help in determining what to do then be prepared for your guidance to be ‘Wait’! Sometimes that is the answer but if you seek spiritual guidance you will often be given a timeframe or more details about what is going on. You might also be given specific steps to take–whether they are the final steps or just the ‘next steps’ doesn’t matter, they are appropriate for you at that moment.
Sometimes we get so wrapped up in our own fears that we miss the signals that others have information that is valuable to us. Have you ever been in a conversation where you felt that the other person or persons were so busy formulating what they were going to say next that they didn’t listen to your contribution to the conversation? Be sure you are not that person! For others might be the messengers of the Universe bringing guidance to you in a simple conversation.
When the Divine Feminine says that the unconscious mind reacts to a fear that doesn’t have to be based on reality, they are echoing what I learned in studying hypnosis. You cannot be forced to do something under hypnosis that you wouldn’t do ordinarily, or maybe after a few drinks at a party. The experiment I heard about invited people to imagine there is an aquarium in front of them that contains an imaginary snake. They were then told to put their hand in the aquarium. Even though they knew the situation was imaginary, both the aquarium and the snake, they refused to do this.
Our minds create pictures and our unconscious minds react to those pictures. Be very careful of the pictures that you dwell on. What are you feeding your unconscious mind? Think about that when you are choosing which movie to watch or book to read.
And especially think of that when you are having a conversation about scary possibilities!
