Have you ever held a compass near a metal door and wondered why the needle wasn’t pointing to True North? I have. When doing feng shui for a client where I didn’t know what was metal I could feel something was off when the needle didn’t match what the Sun was saying. I would often have to step back to get a clear picture of what direction was actually North. The client often had an idea because they had lived there long enough to become in tune with the directions so the work I was doing with the compass needed to come closer to what they had experienced.
This is what we do in Life. We have experiences. We integrate them and determine some meaning or direction from them. Sometimes we dismiss them as unimportant or insignificant, but is anything REALLY insignificant? I don’t think so.
Every experience that we have pulls together all of our previous experiences, all of our knowledge and innate wisdom, and in the cauldron of our unconscious mind, leads us to move in a direction that has been influenced by that experience. This is true even when it is an unconscious process.
Living a Conscious Life means that we bring unconscious processes into conscious awareness so that we can examine them for meaning.
We hear a lot about ‘truth’ these days and it is very difficult to discern the ‘truth’ in the news or world events. Because we cannot be privy to every world event and all the backstory that goes with it we cannot really understand what might be true and what is being shaded, spun, omitted so that what we hear and think is true might be far off the mark. Every person, in every country, is hearing information that might or might not be valid. What does this mean for you?
The place to test the information is inside you.
Your intuition is your ability to check what is the Truth for you. If you have a ‘gut feeling’ that something is not right, it is not right for you in that moment. If you have a ‘gut feeling’ that this is magnetically drawing you in its direction, then you are picking up something that is North for you in that moment.
When I teach about intuition I don’t have to teach much about getting those feelings I call ‘intuitive hits.’ What people need to learn is to TRUST those intuitive hits and gut feelings. Everybody knows what it feels like to get the hit – trusting it enough to follow through and take action is the important point.
So when you ask yourself, ‘What is my Truth today?’ what are you really asking?

Dear Ones,
It is a time to value Truth for yourself, for society, for the unfolding of Consciousness in the Universe.
What is your Truth? Not the truth about circumstances or the truth about something that someone else has told you, but the Truth that is the essence of You and Your Life.
Look inside you and discern what the Truth of You is today. Is it different from the Truth that was you yesterday or last year or when you were much younger? Can you see how you have grown in an understanding of Truth as its meaning in your life?
Who are you at your core? Who are you conscious of as a being on Planet Earth in these days? Who speaks through your mouth? Who thinks your thoughts? What do you believe and why do you believe it?
Living a Conscious Life invites you to constantly examine these questions, for even when you feel you have been ‘working on yourself’ you are in a spirally process of unfoldment, not in a linear exercise that will reach completion so you can ‘get on with your life.’ Rather, living a Conscious Life means moving ever forward and upward, forward and upward as your consciousness evolves and as you interact with the world around you in your daily life.
So examining your Truth is an essential part of living your Life Purpose, for who you are and how you are approaching your life informs the manifestation of your Purpose in the world. Remember that all the other people on the planet also agreed to share Planet Earth with you at this moment. Every person of consciousness is living in 21st Century Earth Society to perform the role of their Life Purpose and every other person agreed to be the classmate of that person, living their own Life Purpose and learning their own Life Lessons.
Your Truth, the essence of who you are, includes the ‘why’ of your being born. This is your Life Purpose, the Purpose that your Soul chose for you before you came into Mother Earth’s loving arms, the Purpose that you agreed to live so that others around you might have the atmosphere they need to live their own Purpose. This is your Truth.
Continue to examine yourself and your life so that you can grow in Consciousness. Every time you encounter a statement or a situation or a relationships that does not resonate with you, that does not match what your intuition is telling you is the Truth for you, then you must re-examine your experience and ask why you are in that place in that moment. There is always something for you to learn and often the experience is designed so that you can re-affirm what is Truth for you.
Do not allow yourself to be pulled off your path into someone else’s truth when it is not resonating with your Truth. You are the one who is growing and evolving according to your own evolutionary journey and your intuition is your guide along the journey. Your Truth becomes the North of your compass, always showing you the direction for you to follow. As you shift your energies, just like Planet Earth, your compass finds your Truth and keeps you steered in that direction.
Just as you would not force a magnetic compass to the ‘N’ point that you want, instead of the one it is finding through it’s internal mechanism, do not allow someone else to pull your compass needle off your Truth. This is yours.
Find the Truth within you and follow your own journey.
And so it is.

Interesting analogy – early humans figuring out which foods to eat and 21st Century humans figuring out what truth is for them.
One way to extend this is to think of the early humans who ate the poison mushrooms. I wouldn’t want to be the one who tested that! But I don’t think this message is about eating poison mushrooms first – it sounds more as if we are being cautioned about eating the poison mushrooms that someone is telling us are safe to eat.
Think about ideas that poison a society but permeate it anyway. Hatred. Intolerance. Injustice. Ignorance. Think about how easy it is to swallow that poison mushroom if someone you trust tells you it is safe for you to do so. I think it’s time we stood up to our responsibility to be individual thinkers, to ask for evidence that a mushroom is safe or to eschew eating it altogether.
Every day, each of us is bombarded with ideas from many sources. Do you absorb and accept every idea that is sent your way? Do you believe everything that you are told? I suspect not. Who, then, do you decide you will believe? Are you willing to find the original sources of the data, to do your own research?
I remember a paper I had to write in college, in a History of the Theater course I was taking to fill in my schedule so I had enough credits to live on campus after I had taken all the math courses I needed for my major. My assigned topic was ‘Squire & Marie Bancroft’ who had lived in the 19th Century. I traveled from Greensburg, Pennsylvania into Pittsburgh to find resources at the University library there and was fortunate enough to find primary sources, documents written by the Bancrofts themselves. Unfortunately, they were written in French so I had to painstakingly translate them for my paper, but the information was invaluable because it came from the principles themselves and hadn’t been distorted by a biographer’s perspective. [Aside: The professor didn’t believe a lowly math major could write such a good paper so he accused me of plagiarism! I did prove the sources of the materials to his satisfaction and he gave me a good grade later.]
What are you willing to do to determine the veracity of what you hear? Are you like a sponge, sopping up what is told to you? Do you check a few sources to see if you can find corroboration or do you just listen to someone you think is giving you the whole story? Do you know how to check inside for what rings true for you?
Living a Conscious Life requires choosing what you will believe and what you will question. Check with your Inner Guidance before you accept any idea, even the ones I am writing here. If you don’t know how to do this yet, learn. Sometimes you need to meditate or take a nap or take a walk in nature before you can see clearly what you need to see. Give yourself permission to do this before you commit to an idea or a project that doesn’t feel completely right to you.
You are moving along a path of your own spiritual journey. You don’t have time for detours into someone else’s ‘stuff.’ Believe what is in alignment with who you are at your core, with the energy that carries you forward on your journey. Don’t believe someone who wants you to eat a poison mushroom by telling you that it is safe! Skip the mushrooms, please!

Dear Ones,
Ever since humans have been walking on Planet Earth they have been questioning the reasons for happenings around them. You might believe that early humans were not curious but how do you think decisions were made about what to eat and what not to eat? They came out of curiosity and someone tried to eat something. They lived or they died, and the others learned what was safe and what was not.
Humans have a similar kind of curiosity today but the situations are more subtle than when they were looking for food. Today, people are searching for simple solutions to complex problems, and so they look to someone else to tell them what is safe and what isn’t, what works and what doesn’t, and what is true and what isn’t. People are giving away their power to the external source who tells them what they want to believe. Unfortunately, many of those who are speaking out have not done the research themselves, as the early humans did. These speakers are believing something told to them by someone else who supposedly did ‘research.’ This so-called ‘research’ might or might not have been valid or worthwhile but for every bit of research there is some audience who wants to believe the results and so in that sphere it becomes validated by acceptance and repetition.
Do you see how far removed people are becoming from the source of the information available to them about ‘safe or unsafe,’ ‘works or doesn’t work,’ ‘true or not’? Decide today that you will become a person who seeks the source. Don’t believe or accept on blind faith. Check inside yourself for your own truth. Just because someone says it is so does not make it valid for you at this time. Even what we are telling you should be checked against your internal compass to make sure it is congruent with the direction in which your journey is taking you today.
In all things it is important that you learn to go inside and reach for your Inner Guidance. You KNOW what is true for you, even if you feel you cannot be certain. There is always a part of you that knows for sure. Reach for that part. Seek help if you do not know how to do this. Get in touch with guidance for yourself, for there is a wealth of information available to you if you seek it. Great thinkers throughout time have known this and have used their innate abilities to find answers to their questions. They seek answers but look to themselves, their own research, even their dreams to find what they seek. Many geniuses will tell you that it is in rest and relaxing out of the search that great ideas arise. Why should you be different?
Are you one of those who think you have to be active all the time? Do you feel you must be doing, doing, doing in order to move forward? What if you could make more forward progress by resting, thinking about something else, engaging in a hobby, and then returning to problem-solving with fresh eyes? Perhaps napping and allowing your unconscious mind to connect the dots for you would be more productive. Maybe a meditation exercise would free your creativity so that you could return to your task with greater understanding.
These are suggestions for 21st Century humans to approach problem-solving and answer-seeking. The early humans knew what they were about when they made their own observations. Stop giving away your power as a thinking, creative person and do your own research, find your own answers. Listen to others but do not be swayed to act against what feels true for you. Do not believe just because others believe. Be an individual, for you were brought to Planet Earth for an individual purpose. No one else has the same roadmap. Be careful about who you allow to drive your life!
And so it is.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Everybody’s Talking At Me
October 23, 2013 — RosemaryRemember that song? Who is talking at you? Whose voice do you here in your head? What are you hearing and believing without processing it to discern if this is true for you today?
We all have those ‘old tapes’ playing in our mind and sometimes it is difficult to figure out that we don’t have to listen to them anymore. The first step in personal growth is to decide on YOUR TRUTH in this present moment.
Ask yourself, ‘Is this thought, belief, rule true for me?’
For example, children are often taught family rules that no longer apply as they get older. In our house, there was a rule that ‘you go home when the street lights come on.’ We could play in the neighborhood with our friends but when it was dark enough for the lights to come on, we had to head for home. Obviously, when we got older that rule no longer applied.
But what about rules like ‘you must go to church every week’ or ‘every one in our family goes to college’ or ‘success is measured by how much money you make’? These ideas live in our unconscious mind as if they are Truth with a capital T. Have you hauled out these so-called ‘Truths’ and examined them for their relevance in your life today?
Here’s an insidious one. ‘I can only stay in bed if I’m really sick.’ What if you’re tired, overworked, starting to get sick but able to fight it off if you rest today? Can you give yourself permission to go to bed even if you’re not very sick? Or do you wait until you’re truly unwell before you allow yourself to slow down?
The beliefs that do the most harm come from thoughts we might have had as a kid or that someone said to us like, ‘you’re stupid’ or ‘you’re not good enough’ or ‘you’ll never make anything of yourself.’ Maybe you even said ‘I’m stupid’ or ‘I’m not good enough.’
Let’s set the record straight right here, right now. You ARE good enough, smart enough, pretty enough. You ARE enough!
Your soul chose this lifetime to be on Planet Earth with the family that you have, the circumstances you are in, the location where you were born and the place where you now live. All of this is to help you learn the lessons of this lifetime.
You came into this world with all the resources that you need to learn those lessons. All the people and circumstances are around you to help you learn. And sometimes the lesson is to learn how to ignore what you are hearing or to move away from a place or people who no longer serve your personal growth.
Anybody who is ‘talking at’ you is learning their own lessons. They might be projecting those lessons onto you but you have a choice about whether or not to accept what they are saying. You are always at choice.
Today, give away those old tapes. Send back the thoughts and beliefs that do not apply anymore. Choose what you will believe about yourself.
You are enough! Create healthy self-talk so that you drown out the voices of those who are ‘talking at’ you!
