“Shift or Stay Behind” – Richard’s Commentary

The Great Shift

Are you with us? It takes a community. We can’t do this alone; no one can. It may be trite now but I am still fond of that catchy phrase: “it takes a village.” I’ve known what this means for most of my life. I grew up in a small rural village in Wisconsin. At that time I felt throttled, held back; but I was also protected, very safely held in that community.

I reached well beyond that community when I went off to Ethiopia to be a Peace Corps volunteer. And I found myself in a small community in the southern province of Gamu Gofa. Again I was isolated, held within narrow limits of both behavior and opportunity; and I was protected, held in a community that took good care of me when I was injured in an accident.

One of my favorite village experiences has been in Gavilan, Northern New Mexico, in Martín Prechtel’s “Bolad’s Kitchen.” It is a small village with ample opportunity. We are held there and hold each other in great love and respect. We learn, share, trade, offer and are given all that we need.

And now the Great Transformation is beginning to unfold. The world may not have ended on the Winter Solstice 2012, but the change began. We are changing. Life around us is changing. Can you feel it? Rosemary has been writing and channeling about this time for years now. Many others have as well. And people are waking up in this changing time. It is very exciting!

So, what do we do? We pay attention. The signs are all around us. We listen. The voices, especially that inner voice, speak the words of truth that we test in our hearts. And we ask, what is mine to do in this time of change? What is my purpose? How do I live into my Soul Purpose that I have been called to now?

If you don’t know your purpose or if you are troubled when someone asks you this question, it may be time to explore this deep issue. Another way to ask this is “what is your big WHY?” In the greater scheme we are all asked to wake up! We are asked to join in community with everyone in our soul groups, to form the villages that it will take to make the shift. And we each have a role or roles to play within those villages. Identify your role; hone the skills you need to perform that role. We need you to be at your best!

There are many paths inward to discover your “Big WHY.” There are gradual ways and fast tracks. For example Rosemary offers Scientific Hand Analysis, a body of proven techniques to reveal much about whom you came here to be through the examination of your finger prints and the lines in your hands. In one session she can reveal your Life School, Life Lesson and Life Purpose. Another way is to become aware of your intentions: when you first awaken set your intentions for the day; and when you are going to sleep examine your day through a “nightly review” to see how well your intentions were met, not in a judgmental way but through an analytical approach to help discern areas for improvement.

Awareness and intention are the basic tools of an awakened mind. An awakened mind is an essential component of the New Community. We are on a trajectory for major change in the way we are living on Planet Earth. This is The Great Shift.

Are you with us?

PS: You can learn more about Scientific Hand Analysis on Rosemary’s site!

EXPLORATION: “Shift or Stay Behind”

Are you ready for the Transformation?  Are you willing to transform?  Are you able to make the shift?

In these times of transformation we must become active participants in the evolution of our consciousness, for we can no longer limp through life in a reactionary way.  It is time to take conscious action in the direction of the vision of your life purpose, as revealed to you in your biggest dreams.  Step out!

So many people are hiding their gifts, playing small in a big world that requires them to play big.  Are you hiding?  Have you been playing it safe, instead of leaping forward?  The pause is over.  The time for action is upon us.

Are you aware of your gifts?  Do you know why you are on Planet Earth for this momentous occasion, the Great Shift in Human Consciousness in 2012?  Are you committed fully to manifesting your Soul Purpose in the time when all other Souls are waiting for you to step up?

These are the most important questions you can answer for yourself.  Go inside and spend some time in self-reflection as you ponder your life to date and where  you are heading.

In my work with clients I find that, more often than not, what they are hiding from is their greatness, their Inner Light, their immense power, not qualities that they are ashamed to reveal.  You know that you are more powerful than you have been demonstrating.  You know that you have gifts that have not yet been fully realized in the outside world.  You know that you can turn up the light inside you and shine more brightly.  This is not news to you, at some level.

Where is the fear?  What is holding you back?  Are you really afraid of failing or are you afraid of scaring yourself with your own magnificence?

Well, Merry Christmas, my gift to you is to hold up a mirror so that you can see that your magnificence is the gift that the rest of us are asking Santa for this year!

I see your Inner Splendor.  I KNOW you!  I SEE you!  I LOVE you!  Thank you for agreeing to share this wonderful time on Planet Earth with me.

Let’s hold hands and move forward knowing that we can support each other in bring more Light to the Planet.  Your Soul knew what it was doing before you were born when it chose this path, these circumstances, your parents, your friends – all those who are classmates with you at Earth University.  All that is or has been in your life has contributed to your personal growth and to the consciousness that you hold at this moment.  And you agreed to share the journey with the other Souls around you.

Realizing that this is a community effort, Community Consciousness, then how can you spend the energy it takes to hold yourself back when the whole Universe is conspiring to support you in leaping forward?  Relax into the New You being called forth!  Shift – into high gear and get leaping!

The world will not end in 2012 but it will change.  As each human being decides whether or not to awaken and shine his/her Light into the world, the world will light up.  Be the bright node in the fabric of humanity!  Shine your Inner Splendor Light and keep making it brighter and brighter!

With great gratitude that you have decided to share this time of transformation with me, I invite you to take the step forward that brings your Light out into the world for all to see.

Be the Shift!

VIDEO MYSTIC MESSAGE: “Happy New You, Happy New Year!”

My video for the week: Happy New You, Happy New Year!

PS: Have a wonder-filled Holiday Season and many blessings in the New Year!

EXPLORATION: Gratitude and Loving Yourself

In this season of Thanksgiving and holidays we focus on being grateful for the blessings in our lives and for the people who are sharing our journeys with us.  But have you taken the time to move into gratitude for yourself?

What traits do you have that you can feel grateful for?  What aspects of yourself do you need to learn to love?  Gratitude for yourself in all your parts is the first step toward loving yourself.

Most of us find it very easy to be grateful for the friends we have in our lives.  Some of us can be grateful for our families, or at least some family members.  But what about YOU?  We are so good at analyzing ourselves and finding fault when we would give someone else a lot more leeway.  Have you ever felt self-critical?  Do you catalogue your mistakes or the things you wish were different and focus your energy on these things?  Do you find it easier to focus on what you don’t like about yourself rather than those aspects that you do like?

If you answered ‘yes’ you’re not alone.  But consider that every single aspect of you is important to the WHO YOU ARE at this time in your life.  Every bit of you is lovable, whether you believe that at the moment or not.  WE asked you to come to Earth to be a part of the process of the unfolding of the Plan of the Universe and you agreed to join us.  Thank you.

So if you are perfect right now, in this present moment, and your role is to learn lessons and to help everyone around you to learn their lessons, then every thing that you have done and every aspect of who you are contributes to all of the lessons being learned.  Just as you are grateful for those around you, be grateful to yourself for being just what you agreed to be.

Everything that you see as a fault in yourself has some purpose, even if you don’t understand it at the moment.  If you wish to change something about yourself, then change it.  But do so from an energy of gratitude for the lessons that you have learned and from the space of not needing to be that way in the future.  This is a much higher energy than to be in disgust or frustration with yourself!

Each of us is on a path of personal growth if we are living a conscious life.  We are constantly moving forward by assessing our lives, changing that which we wish to change, lifting our awareness to higher perspectives and moving on to the next level of being.  We are learning lessons all the time.  Whatever we see in ourselves is serving a purpose or has served a purpose on our journey.  Being in gratitude for ourselves is the starting place for loving ourselves.

Accept yourself and every moment of your life up until this point.  Every backward glance over your timeline can carry with it an appreciation for all that you have learned.  Some lessons came clearly and easily and others were difficult or tedious to learn.  You might still be in the midst of some tough lessons or you might be in a more peaceful moment in your life.  And every single lesson has brought you a step further on the path of personal growth.  Every aspect of your person has been a loving contributor to every lesson.  Be grateful. And love every aspect of yourself.

Loving yourself is not just an emotional thing.  It is an important step along your personal journey.  I declare today ‘Love Your Wonderful Self Day’!  I love you just as you are.  Now take that to the mirror and say, ‘I love you!’ to the reflection you see there.  And express your gratitude for at least 1 part of you.  Smile.  Congratulations!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Your Power is in this NOW!

Dear Ones,

Open your heart to your old self. Forgive all that has gone before this moment in your life. Allow your life to be the unfolding moment in which you find yourself now, right now, in whatever may be your circumstance, your location, your relationships. NOW is the most precious gift you can give yourself.

If your heart is heavy because of things in the past you are taking energy away from the NOW. If you are worried about things that might happen in the future you are taking away energy from the NOW. If you are angry or hurt or upset about something that someone else has done in the past or that you did or did not do, then you are giving away your power in the NOW to a time that cannot truly hold a claim on this moment. If you are anticipating something that has not materialized yet you are giving away your power from this moment NOW.

Stop and breathe in the present moment. Allow all of your consciousness to flow into this moment NOW. Open your heart to the YOU in the NOW. No matter where you are sitting or standing or walking, no matter who the people are who surround you or whether you are alone, no matter what the other events and circumstances of your day might be – PAUSE, BREATHE, and LOVE YOURSELF JUST AS YOU ARE IN THIS PRESENT MOMENT.

All of your power exists within you NOW. All decisions that must be made are existing within you with all of the wisdom that you can access NOW. All of your relationships depend on the consciousness that you hold about yourself NOW.

Your Soul knows your Purpose and your Heart knows your Path. Together you have all that you need to have to exist fully in and through this moment NOW.

Think about that statement. You have all that you need to exist fully in and through this moment NOW. BREATHE. All wisdom is within you. All that you need for NOW is here in this moment with you. Hold that thought and love yourself.

Too often it is easier to focus attention on something in the past or something that might or might not appear in the future, when the true gift you give yourself is to be fully present in the moment NOW. Take the breath that connects you to the NOW in which you find yourself. Breathing the air of Mother Earth connects and grounds you in the moment that made you a human being – your first breath of Mother Earth’s atmosphere, when you were no longer a part of your biological mother but became a human being on the surface of your Mother Earth.

Being fully human means that you stay connected to Mother Earth through breathing her atmosphere, her vital air, into your body and connecting yourself to your life on the Earth plane. Bring your consciousness into this moment to take full advantage of all that exists in the NOW for you. Expand your awareness around you to absorb all that surrounds you. Revel in the gift of the NOW.

Love yourself in the NOW. Forget and forgive yourself in the past. Allow the future to unfold as it will, as a carpet of new NOWs ready to welcome you into their gifts.

Your power is yours right NOW!

And so it is.

MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: Soul Purpose Doors of Opportunity

Dear Ones,

There are energies at work in the Universe that are conspiring to support you in living the life of your destiny. Are you ready to accept the help that is available to you? Are you willing to live your fullest life as your Soul has inspired you to live?

Many people on Planet Earth at this time are merely existing. They are sliding through their lives without conscious thought to their Soul Purpose or their Mission. Are you one of these?

But people around the globe are feeling a stirring within them, a sense that there must be something more. The material world of physical things is shifting and, in some cases, falling away as the Soul begins to stir a person to focus on What Really Matters. Are you one of these people?

Instead of lamenting the current state of economics or politics or world issues, the Awakening Ones are saying, ‘What really matters to my Soul? What is my Soul Purpose? Why was I born to be on Planet Earth at this moment in history? What is my Mission?’

The answers to these important questions help an individual to learn their Big Why. What is YOUR Big Why? Why do you get out of bed in the morning? What ‘lights your fire’? Where is your passion?

Ask these questions of yourself and focus on the first answer that arises in your consciousness, for this answer will be the one from your Soul. If you consider and study and analyze your answer your conscious mind will bring in all sorts of other thoughts that will cloud the message.

Before you ask, though, you must center yourself and relax into the space where your Soul’s Voice can be heard. In the hustle and bustle of modern life it is easy to hear the chatter and to block out the Voice that matters. Be still. Breathe deeply. Clear your mind of anxious thoughts. Settle your body. It only takes a moment to do this, but, when you are in this more relaxed state, you will be able to ask the important questions and hear the answers from your Soul’s Voice.

Make that your priority work today. Ask yourself these questions. Really embrace the answers, even if you’re not sure what to do with the information. This is not the time to judge, analyze or criticize what you receive. This is the time to be totally open and receptive.

If it feels like a struggle you might need to ask for help from someone to guide you in the process. This is appropriate, for there is help available and support for you along your path.

Ask. Receive the answers. Then take action in the direction of your Mission.

Remember, the Universe is conspiring to support you in this endeavor. You will have all the resources you need at the exact moment that you need them. You will have all the people and money and time that you need when the world needs for you to have them. Doors of opportunity will open for you just as you arrive at the doorstep.

Be sure that you walk through the doorway when it opens. Your Soul Purpose is guiding you on that path!

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Survival Depends on Living Your Purpose

The idea of the Earth’s energy grid has been around for a long time. But we often forget how interconnected we are with this energy grid and how that connects us to all other human beings. How can some people think as if they live in isolation of all other people?

I think that there is a reason that this connectedness keeps being brought up for us to examine. We forget that both the connectedness and our uniqueness can co-exist. As individuals we don’t want to lose our individuality and focusing on our uniqueness helps us to feel ‘special.’ That’s true for everyone.

But the Planet can be inhabited by a whole bunch of ‘special’ people, can’t it?

If you are a parent, you probably want each of your children to feel special in some way and yet you love all of them equally. You want your special child to also care about others, though, because that compassion for others matters in life.

I believe we need to teach our children and grandchildren about the connectedness of all while still teaching them about their uniqueness. As I work with clients around finding their Purpose there is also the element of how to manifest that Purpose in the world. Your Purpose is a description of your node in that energy grid of the Earth-Life. You light up the world when you live your Purpose. Everyone living on the Planet with you has a connection with each other living human that is defined by their Purpose. This is how we keep the energy of the Earth-Life vibrant.

For some people, their Purpose is to be in the spotlight, to be out there as a teacher/artist/mentor, etc. For others, their Purpose is a quieter one – to place their energy in their family or their business or their creativity. Your Purpose is to make a difference on the Planet during your lifetime and that can be a quiet difference or a huge public impact.

The important thing about living your Purpose is that you are connected to all others who, at the soul level, are counting on you to live that Purpose as they are required to live theirs. This is 21st Century Earth Human expanding the consciousness that has been building since the Earth was first formed.

Past generations of humans spent their energy focused solely on survival. They weren’t spending much time on expanding consciousness unless they were the philosophers of their generation or culture. But times have changed and we now have lots of opportunities to distract ourselves from our evolutionary path, with TV, video games, sports, etc. Where are the philosophers? Are you one of them? And most people in recent times in Western Society have not had to focus so much on survival so there has been a relaxing of the energy of eking out a living but not a turning to personal growth instead of merely existing. The time for this to change is upon us.

I believe the recent economic situation has caused everyone to rethink who they are on the Planet. Some are once again focusing on survival in ways that they haven’t had to in the past. Some are expanding their awareness from a new place of understanding about the connectedness of human beings.

Survival in this new world will require us to learn new ways of thinking. This is why the new energy center is emerging in 21st Century human beings. This heart-mind center, located between the heart and the throat, brings in a fresh new way to think/feel/operate in the world. This will help us to make the changes that are necessary for both survival and the expansion of consciousness.

All Are One – we are all connected. You Are Unique – You are the one who can live your Purpose.

Maybe what is called for in these times is no longer ‘survival of the fittest’ but ‘survival of the Purpose-full.’

Think about that from the energy of your new heart-mind center!

MYSTIC MESSAGE: from The Divine Feminine: Unique You and the Earth Energy Grid

Dear Ones,

It is time for everyone on Earth to wake up to two facts about life on this Planet. The first is that All Are One. You are all connected to each other and to Mother Earth and you are all a part of the fabric of Earth-Life. What happens to one affects all.

The second fact is that You Are Unique. YOU are the only YOU that there is or ever will be on Planet Earth.

Does this seem a bit contradictory? It is not but we will explain further.

The Earth-Life is a fabric woven through time with the energy of every person who lives or has ever lived on Planet Earth. The Earth herself has an energy that holds and feeds the energy of this fabric grid. Within this fabric are the nodes of energy that represent each individual and you are one of those nodes. You cannot be disconnected from this grid once you have breathed the atmosphere of Mother Earth and have, thus, become one of her children, a human being.

But, you are also a unique piece of energy, living on Planet Earth with a unique purpose that only you can fulfill to energize the grid that connects you to all other human beings through time. You have a reason to be born and to live on Earth at the time of your lifetime.

You are like the glue that is holding that node in place in the energy of Earth. Your Purpose is the energy that lights up that node. All of the other nodes are expecting you to generate that light. They are counting on you to do that. Would you let them down?

Do you sometimes feel as if you do not matter in the bigger scheme of things? Please let go of that idea today. You matter. Are you judging yourself harshly because of something that you did or didn’t do? Please let go of that judgment. You are operating in a connectivity that allows the flow of energy to be just perfect at all times. If there is something that you did it was because all the other nodes or at least some of them needed for you to do that when you did it. If there is something that you have not done it is because it was not time for that energy to flow into the grid yet.

We are, however, now in the energy of transformational change on Planet Earth. It is time for the energy levels to be increased to a higher vibratory frequency to handle the changes that are happening. Those who remain at a lower level will not transition with the upleveling of the energy grid and will stay behind in old consciousness. You are a part of the transformation and therefore you have a responsibility to lift your consciousness by living your Purpose – NOW.

If you feel that you are unsure of your Purpose then do the work to learn it. If you know who you came to Earth to be at this time, then put your energy into manifesting that.

All the other nodes [humans] are looking to you to lift up your energy and stay joined to them. They, too, are busy about the business of lifting up their own energy to stay connected to the transforming grid.

All Are One grid. You Are Unique. And a necessary part of the transformation of humanity and the evolution of human consciousness.

These are exciting times!

MYSTIC MESSAGE from The Divine Feminine: Are You Awake?

Dear Ones,

In a time when so many people are suffering it is incumbent on each person to take responsibility for bringing in their Light so that they can shine that Light into the world around them. We will tell you why this is so important.

The Planet Earth is going through major changes in her energy at this time in her history. All of the people on the surface of Earth are feeling this shift in energy that radiates outward from the core. Each individual chooses how to react to that shift in energy. Some are panicking and trying to pull back to a time before the energy started to shift. Others are leaving the Planet to work with the shift from the Other Side of the veil. Still others are paralyzed and do not know what to do and so they choose to ignore the shifts and try to go about their business as if nothing is changing.

The awakened ones and those who are just beginning to awaken are accepting the energy changes and are moving forward WITH those changes. This group of people, as it grows, will ride the shift into the New Consciousness that is emerging.

Every individual can choose which group to join at this time. And you can change your mind if you decide that you would prefer to be in a different group, but your time to make a choice is running out. It is time to commit to a path.

Those who are awakened or awakening are feeling the urgency to manifest the New Consciousness in the world as soon as possible. Old institutions, laws, processes are being forced to shift. Old ideas, ideologies, beliefs are being re-examined for their relevance in the emerging world. Even energy itself is being re-examined and new information is appearing every day in the world of science.

Things cannot stay the same as they have been, nor can they go back to the way they were. This is the critical point that divides those who would progress forward with the changes that are happening to and on Planet Earth and those who would regress to a former way in which they felt more stable and in control. No human being is in total control of the world around them. No one.

And so the New Consciousness comes into the awareness of many human beings and they find themselves fighting against those who would dig in their heels and attempt to hold back the progress of all others. This cannot be done.

The People of the New Consciousness, or the New Humans, know that humanity as a whole must continue to evolve and the frontier on which that evolution is appearing is the frontier of Consciousness. Once something – an idea, a belief, a new concept or understanding – has been exposed to the light of day that ‘something’ cannot be removed from the Collective Consciousness. Once someone has conceived of a new way of being that is consistent with the direction in which humanity is evolving then that new way of being takes on a life of its own and draws to it all those humans on Planet Earth who are ready to evolve into the next level of being.

You are living on your Planet at an exciting time in the history of humanity! You must decide if you will be a part of the evolutionary process of the emerging New Consciousness or if you are too afraid and will choose to attempt to stay where you are or to move backward. But be forewarned that your inner Light is needed by those around you. This is how you can participate in the evolutionary process that is moving forward whether you join it or not.

Find your purpose, shine your Light and join the movement. Everyone around you is making a choice, too. What do you want THEM to choose?

And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Conscious Confidence for the Present Moment

Confidence can be such a difficult quality to develop. I can be confident in my ability to create a delicious dinner and yet lack the confidence required to get up on a horse and ride a trail. You might be confident in a one-on-one conversation and yet lack the confidence to feel comfortable speaking in front of 1,000-member audience. So what is the confidence we are feeling or not feeling?

When ‘confidence’ is really just an assurance that we are committed to living our Life Purpose in this lifetime on this Planet Earth, then we can relax and our only work is this commitment. Whew! That takes the heat off of us, doesn’t it? I mean, what if I know I am being the person I was born to BE, even if I’m not the best or most accomplished or most experienced at something I am trying to DO? Isn’t that the consciousness that we need to develop? Isn’t that how we can learn to feel confident?

I learned a long time ago that showing up to the present moment is the most important aspect of feeling confident. Even if I feel nervous or tentative about attempting something, I can gain confidence from the knowledge that I am doing the best I can and I can trust that everything will work out as it should. This comes from trusting in the unfolding plan of the Universe.

Trust is the key word here. Do you trust that the Universe has a plan that is unfolding as it should? Do you trust that you have a part in that plan and that your intuition is your connection to it? Have you learned to trust your intuition?

Each of us has a role to play in the story of the Earth as it is developing around us. The people around us are all players in the same story, whether we or they know it or not. Your soul agreed with mine before we were born that we would ‘play’ in this sandbox called Earth at the same time in some way. I trust that this agreement holds and that I am doing my best to fulfill my part. I commit to living the Life Purpose my soul told yours I would live before we started this time on Earth. By raising my own consciousness I’ve become aware of the greater plan and it’s unfolding on Earth in these days.

Are you working to expand your awareness of the great development called Human Evolution? This is about the evolution of consciousness, not about growing beyond tails and webbed feet! Personal growth work becomes the avenue to expanded consciousness and, thus, a commitment to your own personal growth benefits all of humanity.

And confidence comes from knowing that this grand scheme of ever-evolving consciousness includes you and who you are becoming at each step of the way. Trust that you are okay, that you are doing the best you can. Trust that your own intuition and inner guidance are leading you in the path of conscious evolution. Be confident in sharing who you are, right now, in this moment, with others, for that is the soul agreement that you entered into with them before birth. They and you agreed that you would be just that, the ‘who’ you came here to be, and that that was just enough for them in this moment.

Congratulations! Go confidently into your next moments!
