MUSE-INGS: What is YOUR Reality?

Have you ever considered that maybe your view of ‘reality’ doesn’t match everyone else’s view?  And could there actually be more than one ‘realities’?

We see a lot of people in the current times declaring that they have a corner on the reality market and that those who don’t agree with them should just ‘leave the country’!  Hmmm….  How enlightened is that perspective?

The fact is that we are all on a trajectory toward a future that we co-create with the Universal Infinity, whether you call that partner God or The Universe or Spirit or Goddess or Source or any other name.  You don’t have to believe anything about this, just as you don’t have to believe in Gravity – you just operate and the Universal Force operates, too.  I guarantee that, unless you are on a spacecraft out beyond the Earth’s pull, if  you drop something, Gravity will take it to the floor!

If your reality is shaped by your experiences and your beliefs, then you can examine what you believe to be ‘real’ and change it, right?  This is the purpose of personal growth work – to examine what you believe and take charge of your thoughts so that you can create your desired reality in your life and the world around you.  If your unconscious mind controls the subconscious actions then wouldn’t you want to examine what those actions are being based on?

I work with a lot of enlightened entrepreneurs who have figured out that doing their personal growth work IS investing in their business.  If your business or relationship or life decisions are happening at the unconscious level because of beliefs that you hold from childhood experiences, then you might want to update those beliefs with up-to-date information!

And everyone around you has the same  dilemma – 21st Century choices can be based on early childhood misconceptions.  It is interesting, though, that sometimes those who hold most tightly to their opinions about reality are the ones who are most fearful of deep examination of the source of those very opinions.  They hide behind their belief that they know their reality and there is no need to question further.

But the explorer, the person who lives in the state of curiosity and inquiry about their own being and the world around them, has the richer life.  There is always something new to be discovered, something that might reinforce a belief or something that calls that belief into question. Either way, the explorer stays in the joy of discovery and excitement.

Decide to become an explorer, beginning with the inner exploration that is always a rich experience.  Reinforce or reinvent decisions based on the new information you have gained through a lifetime.  Do you really want your inner 6-year-old running your life today?

Devote yourself to curious inquiry into new thought around you.  Quantum Physics is now proving what we’ve known in Metaphysics for thousands of years.  Aren’t your curious about that?  NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP), a technique I use to help people make desired changes, is based on quantum physics and neurobiology.  Isn’t that exciting?

Who are you REALLY?  What REALITY do you want to create for yourself?  You have the power today!

MUSE-INGS: Shine!

Isn’t it interesting that so many Mystic Messages seem to be about the changes that are upon us and what our response needs to be? This is the 2012 Shift we’ve all been hearing about.

What’s important about addressing these changing energies is that we have an individual call as well as a collective one to be fully human and to be active participants in the evolution of consciousness on Planet Earth.

All of humanity will not act as one until each of us accepts that we are connected, that we are all members of the human race, not independent of each other. Quantum Physics is showing us, in no uncertain terms, that what happens to one electron is reflected elsewhere in the Universe in another electron. There really is no such thing as ‘isolation.’

The poet, John Donne, writing around the turn of the 17th Century, wrote
No man is an island entire of itself ; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.”

From the 17th Century to the 21st Century, from the poet to the physicist, the message is the same. We are all one.

So now accept that you DO have a Light within you that is your Light, your Inner Splendor, the Light that is calling you to shine into the world around you. Your Light and the Light of all the others on the Planet are meant to shine as one bright Light of Humanity across the surface of the Earth and beyond. No one person is an island, in the darkness. Even if you sometimes feel as if you dwell in darkness, even if you feel that your life is filled with darkness, there is always a Light within you waiting to be released into the atmosphere. When you cannot access that Light within you, then allow the Light of others to light your path until you find the connection inward to your own Light again.

We seem to be looking to the outside for the Light. It is time to reach inside for your own Light. Shine that Light brightly and others will be drawn to connect with you. Lift the Light of Consciousness to higher levels so that you can extend your reach beyond what you thought was your ‘island’ and connect with others. This is the shift that the world has been waiting for.

As each individual takes responsibility for their contribution to the uplifting of Consciousness and to the increase of Light on the Planet, then we will see the shifts that we are hoping to see in the world. The outside does not light up the inside. But we can help each other find our own inner Light.

I believe that we are seeing a rise in the number of coaches and counselors in our Western Societies because we are reaching to others for help along our path. We feel the need to do personal growth and we recognize that the path is easier when someone ahead of us holds our hand to lead us. This is how I view my work with clients – I hold your hand while we explore your inner Light until you feel confident taking that Light and shining it brightly into the world around you.

Make sure that you are surrounding yourself with people who want you to shine your own Light. Do not listen to those who would shut you down or dim your Light. Do not give away your power to those who would criticize you or try to diminish you. You are the Light of the World and the World is looking for you to light your candle and hold it proudly high.

Let’s connect our Lights today and see how brightly we shine when we have millions of candle-power Lights beaming into the atmosphere!

MUSE-INGS: Consciousness. Success. Freedom.

These are all concepts that are not easily discussed in a short piece but it makes sense that we are being called at this time to consider these topics. In this long-awaited year of 2012 we will be experiencing an expansion of consciousness that is really challenging every human being to address their own understanding of their ‘self’ and their place in the Universe. I believe that no one will be allowed to ignore what I will name ‘The Call of Consciousness.’

Humanity is on an evolutionary path that is not just about walking upright or brain size or the physical attributes of the human. Quantum Physics is exploring topics that were not even dreamed of 100 or 200 or 1000 years ago. I started my professional career with a degree in mathematics and a job programming complex operations on a computer that filled a huge room in the basement of a building. I think my iPhone has more compute power than the computer on which I did matrix transformations of spectrum allocation analysis [are you suitably impressed?]. When our kids were young we had an Atari computer that has been replaced in our home by a desktop PC, a Mac Book Pro, a Mac Book Air, an iPad, 2 iPhones and a Droid. Not to mention our Kindles, etc. Who even bothers to remember their multiplication table because we all have calculators on our phones?

But because we have computers and technological advances we are not necessarily more advanced as a civilization. We still seem to have a need to kill each other. We still steal from each other, and harm our neighbors and covet what they have. I could list a lot of other things that we do to each other, but I think there is a very simple reason why this list is so long. It’s because we still think of ourselves as separate beings living a separate existence in the world and if I have something then it must be taken from another. And if someone else has something it means that I don’t have that. We then create the need for greed because I want what you have.

We have forgotten that we are all connected in an abundant Universe. We focus on lack – you have something that I lack and, therefore, I must make that imbalance right by going out and getting what I want [‘keeping up with the Joneses’ syndrome] or taking from you so I can feel better about myself when I have it and you don’t [‘king of the mountain’ syndrome]. We think of ourselves as separate and then we act to make ourselves feel better about that separation.

Religions, societies, communities, spiritual teachings all address connectedness in some form, but humans can twist that message into a message of ‘otherness’ and separation that cause great deals of conflicts between parties because they have fallen into the traps inherent in a belief in separation.

Each child in a family is a separate being with a personality all their own, but don’t they, at the same time, feel a sense of connectedness in a family unit? And I’m not talking just about what some people call a ‘family’ but of what we create – the ‘family’ of people united into community by some kind of bond. What if we all started to expand our definition of ‘family’ to include all sentient beings, especially all human beings, so that our awareness encompasses the consciousness of the connectedness of all?

Couldn’t we improve life on Earth by adopting this expansion of consciousness? We are being called to become our greater selves at this time. Think of yourself as connected to all others. Expand your own consciousness. You will be contributing to the expansion of the collective consciousness. This is how your life purpose fits into the whole.

Namaste.

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

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.

MUSE-INGS: Shift or Get Off the Planet! by Rosemary Bredeson

Do you sometimes feel as if everything around you is in a whirlwind and you’re trying to stand still but it’s hard?  Or are you the whirlwind and everything around you is stagnant and not moving with you?  Either way you can feel out of kilter with what’s happening in your environment.

I sometimes wonder how some people can stand still when there’s so much exciting energy to step out with but a lot of people are holding firm to where they have been before because it’s comfortable, secure, safe.  I used to be that way, too.  But I learned that exploring the world of ideas, of Consciousness beyond the ordinary, was a far more exciting place to hang out than in a bar with those who just wanted to drink themselves into oblivion.  I’ve never understood choosing that kind [or, actually, any kind!] of oblivion so I’d be the one drinking club soda.  I eventually decided that I just don’t like the energy of that bar scene and avoid them like the plague.

It pains me sometimes to see people who choose to numb themselves to new concepts and ideas.  They don’t even use chemicals to do this; they merely shut down the curious part of their brains and follow a path laid out carefully before them without ever pausing to examine where they are and why they are there.  This type of person doesn’t question what they are told.  They are the followers who often live in fear.  Do you know some of them?

I remember when my daughter went through her ‘why, why, why’ stage of life.  Boy, it gets tiring to deal with those questions!  But I did love her curiosity.  She would get a cute look on her face as if she were deeply pondering that ‘why’ and she really wanted to know an answer that would satisfy her.  My answers didn’t always satisfy her but she kept plodding onward.  She still asks ‘why’ and continues to explore ideas.

Our sons were more inward in their explorations.  The older one studied lots of ideas in college and I remember his telling us about an experience he had during a play on which he was crewing and had a few moments before he was needed.  He sat and stared at his hand, pondering nothingness, when his hand disappeared and he realized that he could see the stage curtain THROUGH his hand.  Of course, this freaked him out but it left quite an impression on his young mind.

Do you foster exploration in the folks around you?  Are you ready to have a conversation about ideas that stretch your understanding?  UFOs? ETs? Nothingness?  Collective Consciousness?  Angels?  The Other Side?

Try bringing up one of these topics at your next dinner party.  It’s much more exciting than talking about the weather or sports!  Explore ideas with your friends and see which ones are willing to go there with you and which ones are afraid to step into those arenas.

Even better than talking to others, sit by yourself and ponder questions that your normal, busy life doesn’t give you time to consider.  Have you ever stared at the ocean and pondered the life beneath the surface?  Have you ever looked up at the night sky and thought about what is moving there that appears to be stationary?  When is the last time that you read a book that explored the current thinking about Consciousness?  Quantum Physics is now proving what Metaphysics has known for thousands of years – have you read anything about this?

Next time you’re in a bookstore pick up a magazine that you haven’t read before and explore some new ideas.  Then find someone to chat with about what you learned.  It’s time to step up to the responsibility to expand human awareness.  Tag – You’re It!!!

Now, Shift or Get Off the Planet! [Just kidding!  Just Shift!
