Dear Ones,
It is with the expectation that you will continue to grow that we share this message with you. You are as a seed that has been planted in the fertile soil of the Earth garden. The Mother Earth who loves you and who asked that you be planted on her surface gives you tender, nourishing care, with water and nutrients and Sunlight. You are held in the supportive hands that help you to grow.
Are you as committed to your own growth as Mother Earth is to supporting that very growth? Or are you willing to stay where you are, locked in the beliefs that have held you in place for so long? Now is the time to decide. Now is the time to choose.
Those who choose the path of personal growth will commit Time and Treasure to that path. Are you willing to join this group? Know that you will have every support, every resource should you choose this. Who will be your teacher, your guide, your mentor? Who will be with you on the journey as your cohort, your colleagues, your fellow students? Be wise about these choices!
For when you are on a path of personal growth you must surround yourself with those who are on a similar path. If you attempt to partner with someone who is not committed to their growth or who desires to hold you back from yours, then your growth will be stymied and you will spend your energy staying in place instead of moving forward. This is not to pass a judgment on others, but to encourage you to find people with whom you can share your journey who will support you. The others must find their own way.
Many of you may be examining relationships as you read this, wondering if these relationships are right for you at this time. Make the decision now, for it is time for you to propel yourself forward, and being connected to someone, some circumstance, some job or location, that does not support your growth is like having an anchor of concrete chained to your ankle. It is time to grow.
Are you afraid? Is it really the fear that you believe it to be or is it another, more subtle, fear that is holding you back? Examine your fears. Do you fear your own abilities? Your lack of funds? Your confusion about the next step? Or do you fear your own inner power? Your greatness? Your Light? Be honest with yourself.
Commit to your growth. Find others with whom to share the path. Find your tribe. And when you commit to your growth, add the commitment of Time and Treasure. Are you willing to spend your most precious resource, your Time, on activities for your personal growth? Or is this a priority that is left for when everything else on your to-do list is done? Are you willing to commit your Treasure, your money, to this task or are you only looking for that which you can obtain for free so that you are sending the Universe a signal that you aren’t totally committed to your growth?
Seeking growth does not have to require a lot of your Time or your Treasure, but your commitment must be backed up energetically with that which is important to you. Even if you feel you don’t have much money at your disposal at the moment, what are you spending that money on? Perhaps you feel led to support a charity or cause that moves you, or you have found a class you would like to attend, or a book you would like to read or a mentor with whom you would like to work? Learn to ask yourself if your inner guidance is directing you to make that choice. Perhaps you can hire the mentor and borrow the book from the library, or give a donation of time to the cause or charity while paying for the class you wish to take. Ask yourself WHY and HOW you are making your decisions. Are you constantly moving in the direction of your personal growth?
Avoid those who wish to go backward, stay in place, or to hold you back from your growth. There is no time now to slow down!
Choose to grow and you will have all the resources you require! Go confidently in the direction of your growth and you will reach your dreams!
And so it is.

MUSE-INGS: Are you afraid of dying of embarrassment?
October 26, 2011 — RosemaryWe all have fears, don’t we? No matter how much we try to ignore or deny them, they are there.
I like to tell myself that I don’t fear but have faith instead. But, as I learned in my first hand anaylsis session, my Life Lesson is ‘Emotional Authenticity.’ So I’m being authentic here – I have fears.
Do you?
What are you really afraid of? For many of us in these times, it is a fear of being without money. Why have we joined together in this collective fear that money is the root of all life? Or maybe we have a fear of dying? But is dying really the worst that could happen? Of course, we don’t want to die but lots of people have done it and their spirit lives on. If we live our life around the concept of ‘not dying’ we don’t live authentically. We would never cross the street, or eat sushi, or shake hands with someone who might be carryi ng germs, or have a child or any other number of things that ‘might’ lead to death. And yet we do all those things, some even choosing to do more extreme activities carrying a high degree of risk of death, and we live or we don’t live. So is fear of dying really at the root of our deep fears?
Do you know how often we choose to do or to not do something because we have a fear of looking silly or stupid or of being embarrassed? And haven’t we all lived through some embarrassing moment? I experienced this recently when I sat in line with hundreds of other cars waiting for the Whidbey Island ferry near Seattle. When it was my turn to board the ferry, my car wouldn’t start! Cars were having to move past me on both sides, someone came running to direct traffic, someone else came with a portable battery to jump start my car, and then it died again. This time they brought out the big cart to jump start my car and I had to drive it around [I, of course, missed the next ferry] to charge up my battery and then demonstrate that I could turn the engine off and restart the car on my own. All this was happening on my way to the airport to meet my husband’s plane! I was on a schedule, I was experiencing car trouble in a very public way, inconveniencing others, and I was embarrassed.
But, I had choices about how to respond. I could have collapsed in shame and sat in my car and cried. I could have become angry and stomped around as if it were someone else’s fault. I could have thrown up my hands and walked away from the car [not that they would have let me do that!]. I could have driven away and decided not to take the ferry that day [and left my poor husband at the airport!]. All fear of being embarrassed, however, left when I decided to smile at the people who helped me, laugh at the situation, and do the best I could. I drove around and recharged my battery, demonstrated that it would start on its own, and made the next ferry with plenty of time to meet my husband’s plane.
For some reason, I surmised, I wasn’t supposed to be on that particular ferry or on the freeway a half-hour earlier or whatever. I may never know the reason I wasn’t supposed to make that ferry but my car, which had never given me a problem before and hasn’t since, needed to be the carrier of wisdom for me. And after that very publicly embarrassing moment, I know I don’t need to worry about public embarrassment causing me to die!
So if all fear is really a fear of a lack of connection to Source, then maybe the way to address any fear is to start by connecting back to Source Energy, the Universe, God/Goddess, Spirit. I learned from my little ferry experience that people were helpful, generous, smiling and sympathetic. Would I have had an opportunity to learn this without my experience? Maybe not.
The basic truth, that we are all connected, to each other and to Source, means that everything that happens to us is within the context of our lessons on Earth. Every fear is a teacher. Let’s all help each other learn the lessons. Let’s remember that we are all connected. And let’s help others remember this!
