NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

Mystic Mountain NebStorms. Tornadoes. Wildfires.

Quite a week! We’ve had tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings to deal with [safely] while we watch the heartbreaking wildfire in Colorado Springs. We lived through this scenario last year when it was our house in Colorado that was in the path of the Waldo Canyon Wildfire. Thankfully, we learned our house survived intact and we sold it to a family that hadn’t been so fortunate. This year, it is the homes of friends that are threatened by the Black Forest Wildfire. We pray for our Colorado Springs ‘family’!

I also had a great time recently speaking about the Hubble Space Telescope to a group of 4th Grade classmates of our grandson, Josh. It was fun for The Scientific Mystic to talk about science with some intelligent, curious kids asking really good questions! (In case you aren’t familiar with my background, I worked for NASA on the Hubble Project before becoming a full-time spiritual counselor/coach/medium/mystic.)

This is the final week of the season of Spring. Summer Solstice is next Friday, June 21, at 1:03 am Eastern Daylight Time, when the Sun moves into the sign of Cancer. Are you ready for Summer? This is the time for big growth, just as our gardens demonstrate! And Cancer is about nurturing ourselves and each other. Make some plans for the longest day of the year. What would you like to bring into the Light? Uncover the lessons you are working on and shine Light upon them.

There is still room for you to join us TONIGHT, Friday, June 14th at 7:00 pm EDT for the Conversation with The Other Side if you’re interested in getting a message of guidance from an angel, spirit guide, or loved one. Register Here. And if you can’t join us either live in Annapolis or online from anywhere, think about HOSTING your own friends at a Conversation with The Other Side (and you’ll attend for free!). Here are the details on hosting your own event: Click to learn more.

Highlight: Are you curious about Qigong? Richard is teaching 2 different classes (awesomely, I might add!) in Severna Park, Maryland and you can drop in for a class to try it out. Here’s where to get more info: Qigong

I hope you have great plans for the coming Season. We’re heating up in the Northern Hemisphere and our friends in Australia are getting ready to ‘chill out.’ Both Seasons invite us to PLAN. This is a good time to clear up those limiting beliefs and negative thoughts and create a plan based on examining possibilities. If you’re looking for help in developing your Plan, we can work together for the next 3 months and create your Summer Success Roadmap. I’d love to send you more details about this program so please send me an email and I’ll get that info to you. rosemary@thescientificmystic.com

Have a great week and enjoy your longest day next Friday! And please keep praying for those affected by the Black Forest Wildfire in Colorado.

Pay Attention to Your ‘Aha!’ Moments! – Richard’s Commentary

In Rosemary’s “Inspiration” video this week she refers to an event we shared on Kauai, Hawaii’s Garden Island. I still use this moment, it only lasted for seconds, to remind myself of the exquisite nature of life, especially as we live it more and more consciously.

It was an overcast day and moving on toward late afternoon as we climbed that winding road up to Waimea Canyon. When we reached the park and canyon overlook, the clouds were thick and it was difficult to see into the canyon to any depth; the far side was shrouded. But as with everything in Hawaii it was still breathtaking. We were considering our return trip down that road full of hairpin turns when the setting sun broke through the clouds behind us and created that incredible double ring rainbow Rosemary describes, casting it on the far side of the canyon. As we stared in awe we noticed shadows at the rainbows’ center. Other tourists on a lower observation platform pointed at it and then up at us and shouted that they believed it was our shadows; we waved our arms and the shadows within the rainbows waved to us in unison! It was us!

This was an image and a feeling I will never forget. It was like Heaven reached down and blessed us. The sense of grace and peace was overwhelming. To this day I carry that image and the feeling as one of those fantastic (miraculous?) ‘Aha!’ moments in my life.Waimea-Canyon

(The picture here is of the Canyon and the lower observation platform. My picture of the rainbows has sadly gone missing!)

One of the exercises I have learned in my Qigong practice with Bridget Hughes is to cultivate the “Feeling State of the Divine.” This is a tremendously powerful healing state to build and to live within. An exercise to build this Feeling State is to recall moments in our lives in which that Feeling State was powerfully present. Well, you can bet this experience at Waimea Canyon is one of those Feeling States and I recall it frequently!

How do you cultivate that Feeling State of the Divine? It is a wonderful practice to help us remember who we are! And it is important, not just as a feel-good experience but as a tool to move into our center of power from which incredible transformation work can emerge. In Rosemary’s message from The Divine Feminine we read about the Earth transformations and the parallel transformations in human consciousness. One effects the other! Recall:

People need to know that their thoughts are creating their physical reality. There is a connection between the dimensions of Consciousness and Physical Existence on Planet Earth. Thoughts can cause a shift in physical reality and these thoughts depend on the beliefs behind them. 

When our thoughts are focused on the Feeling State of the Divine we are in a deeply creative mode that can shift everything. In this time of great Earth Transformation it is our Human Consciousness Transformation that can and will make a difference.

Think good thoughts! Recall those Exquisite Feelings of the Divine, those “Aha Moments”, those Peak Experiences that help us transcend the petty, the small, the insignificant and transport us to that place of power and Love!

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Pay Attention to Your ‘Aha!’ Moments!

Today’s message comes from The Divine Feminine:

“Dear Ones,

There is much going on in the realm of Planet Earth that must be addressed by those who would lead a Conscious Life. ‘Global Warming’ is misnamed. It describes but a part of what is changing. ‘Global Shift’ or ‘Global Transformation’ would be much more accurate than ‘Climate Change,’ for far more than the climate is changing!

The Planet is responding to the energy requirements of the RESULTING PLANET of the New Earth. She is telling you what you must do to shift with the Planet through her transformation. YOU, the humans of Earth, are being called to transform, not the climate. The change must come in humanity and in human consciousness. It is the PEOPLE OF EARTH who are being signaled that the long-awaited time for change is upon the Planet NOW.

Many years ago forward-thinking humans saw the signs that were given about the coming changes. It was easier to start the conversation with a discussion of physical changes rather than those that must happen at the human consciousness level. Of course, there is an interdependency because the only way to effect changes in the physical aspects of human life on Earth is to start with changes in the consciousness of the humans on Earth.

People need to know that their thoughts are creating their physical reality. There is a connection between the dimensions of Consciousness and Physical Existence on Planet Earth. Thoughts can cause a shift in physical reality and these thoughts depend on the beliefs behind them. If people refuse to consider a shift in their belief system then there is no hope that they will modify their behavior or shift the physical reality around them.

People used to believe that the Earth was a flat plane in space. They thought that sailing away in a straight line meant falling off the edge of that flat Earth. Today, you know that the Earth is a roundish ball in space. The beliefs that shaped the decisions around sailing from place to place were modified to take into account the new information.

Human consciousness expands in quantum leaps when awareness grows enough to shift into new beliefs and away from old paradigms. Human history demonstrates these leaps throughout its story.

Now is the time for another quantum leap in consciousness. Many humans are realizing this because they are having personal ‘aha!’ moments from which they can never return to older, narrower ways of thinking.

Some, however, leap backwards in fear of the implications of their own ‘aha!’ moments. Some people fear change so much that they refuse to accept even their own experiences and, thus, they retreat behind an artificial veil and refuse to grow. These people are often aided in this by those who wish to hold back the evolution of human consciousness from its inevitable progress. They will not succeed.

The moment for the SHIFT has arrived on Planet Earth. Much is being transformed. Many humans are participating. Stay true to your values and be willing to shift your thoughts.

Communicate with Mother Nature and ask how you can help her. Stay in touch with people around the world so that your view and perspective are not confined by your physical location and only those people close by.

Expand YOUR consciousness to assist in the expansion of all human consciousness.

SHIFT NOW.

And so it is.”

Do you pay attention to your own ‘aha!’ moments? These are the Exquisite Thoughts that bring profound realization to you, the thoughts that shift you so much that you cannot easily un-shift. The moments that are glimpses of something greater, of something beyond the ordinary, help us to grow in our awareness of the Cosmic Reality in which we participate.

Focus on these moments and allow your ‘aha!’ moments to keep you on a path of personal growth in consciousness!

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

double_conjunction-580x386Happy June to you! As I write this I am listening to a nice Spring rain watering the tomato plants and flowers in the yard and bringing the water to the reservoirs for us to drink. Do you move into gratitude when it rains or do you curse the raindrops that destroy your hairdo and get your shoes wet? The answer to that question is your choice about which thoughts to follow!

Follow the Exquisite Thoughts that are filled with wonder at Mother Nature and her bountiful gifts! Follow the thoughts that feel expansive instead of contracting. And be open to shifting into new thought patterns.

Tomorrow is a New Moon, at 11:58 am Eastern Daylight Time, in thoughtful Gemini. After the last 3 Moon events brought eclipses with them, this New Moon should be a gentler push that “stimulates our awareness of our biases and beliefs, so that we can become more deeply connected with each other and our surroundings.” [–The Mountain Astrologer magazine]

Use this New Moon energy to focus on a new way of thinking about the shifts that are happening in these important days in history. At every level of existence we are transforming, some of us participating consciously and others being dragged kicking and screaming into the New Earth. How we accept change says a lot about how we live our lives. At the New Moon it’s a great time to do some ritual welcoming change into your life. New ways of thinking bring new energies. Accept them with gratitude!

HIGHLIGHT: The June Conversation with The Other Side is on Friday, June 14th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time ONLINE and LIVE in Annapolis, MD. Would you like to join us and have a fun evening hearing information from beings in other dimensions or chatting with a loved one who has crossed over? These are fun events with lots of good guidance and, always, some laughs. You can participate via phone or computer [with video camera we can see each other!] or sit around the table in person. This is your time to get some answers! Click Here for the details.

And if you’d like to attend a Conversation with The Other Side for FREE in your own home, check out HOSTING A CONVERSATION on the website here: Hosting

In addition to the events listed below, there’s a special event on our calendar this week. Our grandson, Cody, is graduating from the 8th Grade and heading off to high school! Congratulations, Cody!!! We’ve very proud of all of our grandchildren and this is a special milestone. This is also why we moved back to Maryland – to be with family at the milestone moments. We had an ‘aha!’ moment that led us to focus on our values and make our choices about where to live based on ‘family.’

Notice your Exquisite Thoughts, your own ‘aha!’ moments this week!

How Are You Hiding? – Richard’s Commentary

True confession time! Frankly and in all authenticity I have been hiding at least since I retired from the corporate world at the end of 2007. Of course I have many excuses for this. But Rosemary’s question is not about “why” I’ve been hiding, good reasons or excuses, but rather about “how” I’ve been hiding. So, here’s the story:

I’ve been staying in the background, in a sense hiding behind Rosemary these past five plus years. I retired so we could start a business together. If you have been reading her blog or my blog, subscribing to her newsletter or know her in any way you realize the incredible talent she has on many levels, including the ability to communicate with The Other Side! She is a powerhouse and it’s easy to hide behind her.

Our business partnership was at least in part organized around this talent. She is the front-person for the business and I am the “operator.” She does all the outside work with clients and I run the back-office, the technology for the internet-based program, the financials, legal stuff, etc. This doesn’t sound too much like hiding out, does it? And it was certainly a plate-full for both of us as we started up our business in early 2008.

We did a lot of work, heavy lifting, to launch this business. We attended seminars and workshops, we did the research, we built websites and wrestled with emailers and auto-responders, Rosemary went to coaching events to help “jump-start” the business and I sometimes attended as a “free” guest at these events. We worked hard at this.

At these events I often felt awkward. Was I attending to understand better how to build her business, improve her internet presence, help market her talents? Sometimes I had the feeling I should be taking in the coaching, suggestions, technology patterns and marketing ideas for myself; in exercises during the events I would be half thinking about Rosemary’s business and half thinking about how I could apply the material to something I could offer.

And often I sensed the implicit and sometimes explicit motivation from the leaders and speakers at these events to apply what they were teaching to my own practice! (Whatever that might be.)

But I had too much to do to develop any kind of practice for me. What did it matter that I am an ordained minister in an Interfaith Tradition? What did it matter that I too have talents, sometimes even in parallel with Rosemary’s? Did it matter that I am this unusual male being, so often operating in this wonderful world of feminine energy I constantly find myself in? Rosemary’s coaches, mostly women, did seem to think it mattered!

I continued to hide through the upheaval of our down-sizing exercise, sale of our house in Colorado and move to Maryland (three separate truckloads of our stuff!) to hang out with daughter for a while as we catch our breath. We continue to work on the business and I continue to hide out in the back-office. But all of this is changing! I am not only processing Rosemary’s MuseLetters, shooting the videos, handling the blogs, keeping the website updated and running the business end of the business; I am also reading Rosemary’s prodigious volume of material and taking it all to heart.

I am done with hiding. The excuses for doing so are empty. There is more to me than “Chief Operating Officer.” And I have launched; I have begun to shine a brighter light out into our community! My first Qigong Class this past Monday evening was great: well attended for a first time offering, smoothly delivered and positive feedback received.

This time, 2013 and beyond, as we’ve written many times in these blogs, is a time of transformation. It is not a time to hide. We can no longer hide from ourselves or behind anyone else.

Answer the question for yourself: “How are you hiding?” Then look for ways to break down the barriers, open the doorways of opportunity and step through!

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: How Are You Hiding?

There is a Light inside of you that is the Light of the Universe. Are you shining that Light outward or are you keeping it hidden?

Most of us live our lives keeping the lantern of our Inner Light on the dim setting, afraid to shine too brightly because we worry about how others will react if we do. We play it safe. We don’t want to make waves. Or, if we do make waves, we tend to be cautious about how big they are.

The time has come for each of us to claim our power and to reach out into the world to share our Light. There is nothing to be gained from playing small, from staying dim. We have fooled ourselves into believing that we keep the peace around us by hiding, by staying quiet, by simply existing.

Have you asked yourself recently if you are hiding a part of you from the rest of us?

Even if you are feeling as if you are showing up in a big way, I invite you to turn up the Light and shine EVEN MORE BRIGHTLY.

I see clients who want to express their creativity but feel they have to focus on their job or their business. It’s not ‘either-or’ – it can be ‘and’! Other clients have given away so much power to others in their life that they don’t believe they are strong enough to step out in a big way. You are strong!

This isn’t just about doing your work in the world in a big way. It’s about living life LARGE!

Are you showing yourself to your family as a whole person or are you hiding a part of yourself? Are you helping your kids to grow by being human, with the full spectrum of human emotions, strengths and weaknesses?

I sometimes wonder about the wisdom of letting our kids think that everything has to be perfect, that we are perfect. Now, I’m not into baring every little flaw but it might just be our power that we’re hiding along with our flaws. I posted a picture on facebook recently that addressed perfection and imperfection. “I saw that you were perfect and I loved you. I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you more.” I don’t know who came up with those words but they speak volumes.

It is our so-called imperfections that make us human. We tend to want to hide our flaws and yet those who can love unconditionally will love us more if we are human, like them, because we give them permission to be human, too. This is called ‘emotional authenticity’ and, if you would live a conscious life, this is what you are striving to achieve.

It is also our strengths, our power, our Light that sometimes frighten us because they carry responsibility with them. And our greatest fear is often that others will abandon us, will not love us, will feel intimidated by us because we appear to be stronger or more powerful than they are. No one wants to be abandoned but when strength and power come from the Divine Light that is at our core, then we are not intimidating anyone else unless they choose to shrink from our Light rather than to shine their own Light more brightly.

This is the point. Every time we increase the amount of Light that we shine into the world, we invite others to increase the Light that they shine from their own Inner Light. We are only responsible for shining our own Light. We cannot accept responsibility for what others choose to do.

We do, however, dispel more darkness when we shine more Light. Are you willing to come out of hiding to do this?
