My “Two-Minute” Video for this Week: Who Do You Serve?
PS: Do you know who you are here to serve? Do you serve yourself first? I am offering a very special “spring cleaning” opportunity to help you answer these questions: What’s your big why? What is your message? Who do you serve? This offer is only available through May. Please send me an email; let’s explore: Rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com
It’s the middle of May, we just had a Full Moon, and now the Sun is going into Gemini and the temperature is rising. It feels as if Summer is coming and it’s good to be outside in Nature. (Did you see that gorgeous Moon?)
In the coming week the Sun moves out of the sign of Taurus, the Bull, and into the sign of Gemini, the Twins (on Tuesday, May 20 at 10:59 pmEastern Daylight Time). Taurus has been very earthy and solid, inviting us to appreciate beauty and groundedness and the simple life – think Ferdinand the Bull. Gemini is mental and asks us to think, to be curious and inquisitive. Sometimes in the Gemini energy we can struggle with decisions because we seem to be ‘of two minds’ – like twins, so learn to focus the energy where you feel it is important to focus, not just on what you think you ‘should’ do. Heart and Mind together help to ground the Gemini energy.
Are you ready to think about the rest of the year? Are you ready to explore the possibilities that lie ahead for you? Are you ready for some Gemini FUN?!!! At the Possibilities Playshop on June 14 you can explore, create, clear blocks, laugh, plan, get guidance and get ready to have an AMAZING rest of the year! When we did the January Possibilities Playshop we had a lot of laughs and some great ‘ahas.’ At this Playshop you will also create your very own Playbook as you learn to let your Intuition and Inner Guides help you to plan the coming months. You’ll learn about the Moon and her cycles and how to use Moon energy to help you grow over the ‘moonths’ (from New Moon to New Moon). AND if you attended the previous Playshop or purchased it on DVD, then you can join us in June AT NO COST!!! Those of us who have been using our Playbooks have been surprised at how right on target it is. We created a tool to support journaling, meditating, planning, tracking, capturing ideas.
Check out the Possibilities Playshop HERE and email any questions you have to rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com. Early bird investment ends soon so reserve your spot. You can attend in person in Severna Park, Maryland or join the video conference from wherever you are. Looking forward to playing with you on Saturday, June 14!
If you’d like to tune into your guidance in a personal session or learn more about your Life Purpose before the Playshop, the Spring Special is still in effect so request a Reading by Rosemary by the end of May to take advantage of this. Send an email to rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com
After all the transformation energy that has been bombarding us, I hope that things are settling down for you at a new level with excitement and wonder about the next step. I’m seeing this with my clients and it’s thrilling! Remember that it takes more energy to resist change than to go with the flow!
Have a Sunny week!
WHO are you serving?
When you do whatever you do, are you conscious of the person or people for whom you are doing that? This isn’t just about your job or career or business, but even the family for whom you are cooking dinner, or the person you hold the door open for at the mall, or the charity that you are supporting with your donation.
WHO is it that you are serving?
There are plenty of answers when you look outside yourself at the examples above. But in all of those, are you serving yourself first? Remember that the airlines instruct you to put your oxygen mask on FIRST and then turn to help a companion or child. What good are you to that other passenger if you pass out from lack of oxygen before you can help them? Take care of yourself first so that you are better able to serve.
We think of that on airplanes but the same principle applies all throughout our days and our lives.
If you don’t take care of your own health, no one else can do it. You know this. You accept this. But what about your spiritual and psychological health? Your emotional health? Your mental health? Are you serving yourself by taking care of yourself in those areas?
If you are an entrepreneur or you work in an office, are you clear about the customers or clients that you serve? Are they real people to you or are you focused on tasks and not people?
As an entrepreneur I am very focused on the clients in my business. My work is to build a relationship in which I support them. If I were a secretary, I would be supporting a boss and needing to accomplish certain tasks for her. How much use would I be if I weren’t taking good care of myself and if I was thinking about the computer instead of the project that creates info that she needs? A teacher who thinks only about what he is teaching and not about the kids and what they are learning is not a very good teacher. A musician or actor or artist who isn’t thinking about how the audience is receiving their art isn’t sharing much of themselves.
We’ve all heard that ‘Energy flows where attention goes.’ If your attention is on accomplishing your to-do list, on everybody else’s to-do list, on getting things done and over with instead of on the people and the relationships, what do you think will happen to the people (including you) and the relationships?
Take some time this week to ask yourself the question, “Who is my WHO? For whom am I doing this? And have I taken care of myself first so that I can serve at my best level?”
Entrepreneurs are taught to identify their ‘target market’ or ‘audience’ early in their training, but most of us don’t get this lesson and broaden the perspective into everything that we do. Next time you are fixing food, ask about your ‘Who.’ Next time you hold a door, think about the person walking through it and smile. Smile before you answer the phone because there is (usually) a human being on the other end of the line. Think about the tasks on your to-do list in terms of the person/people impacted.
Who is your WHO?
Yesterday afternoon we went through a Full Moon, the Wesak Moon when many traditions celebrate Buddha’s Birthday. In celebration of the Full Moon I am suggesting that you too are the light, the “luminary” for the world. This video is from a time when I was doing a daily newsletter. Enjoy!
Are you being the light in the world you were born to be? Join RosemarySpace and learn the many ways to shine your light!
My “Two-Minute” Video for this Week: What’s Your Message?
PS: Do you know your “message”? Are you looking for clarity? I am offering a very special “spring cleaning” opportunity to work with me. This offer is only available through May. Please send me an email; let’s explore: Rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com
Hello from a warm Maryland! It will be in the 80s today! We’re enjoying the flowering plants and trees and listening to the birdsong floating in the windows on the Spring breezes. What a beautiful time of year! Of course, also floating on those breezes are pollen particles that wreak havoc on noses and sinuses. Lots of folks struggling with allergies, sadly. Hope you’re not one of those.
We celebrated Mother’s Day in the US this yesterday. I remember my Mom and wish she were still with us but I also celebrate being a Mom with wonderful children and grandchildren (and another on the way this year! Woo Hoo!). And I live in gratitude for the opportunities I have had to be a ‘spiritual Mom’ to those who are not my biological children but who are close enough that that doesn’t matter. In these times we must find our spiritual family and participate as if they are our biological relatives. Spiritual DNA is powerful!
The Full Moon is on Wednesday, May 14 at 3:16 pm Eastern Daylight Time. This is a time of letting go. Give your troubles, worries, anxieties over to the Full Moon and they will diminish as the light of the Moon diminishes in the sky. Finish that Spring Cleaning that you started. Clear out the clutter from your closets as well as the corners of your mind. What beliefs are holding you back? What negative thinking tells you that you are anything less that wonderful? Let that go!!!
I am offering a special Spring Clearing Session through May to help you clear that block or get the perspective you are seeking. Send me an email and, for the special investment of only $150 for the session we’ll get you started on that clearing process. Decide that now is the time that you are ready to release what has been holding you in that stuck position. rosemary@thescientificmystic.com
Look for some information coming out soon about the Possibilities Playshop on June 14th and theSpiritual Science 101 program with introductory level classes to subjects like Feng Shui, Dream Interpretation,Meditation and a lot more. These are fun programs that you can join in person in Maryland AND online! More in a few days on this.
Do you work with crystals? I’m being guided to suggest that you take that Spring Clearing to your crystals, too, and get them washed, cleared and moved around. You can always put them outside under the light of the Full Moon to get a charge on them. I put new crystals (new jewelry, too) inside an amethyst geode to charge them when I bring them home. Activate your crystals during this Spring Clearing time!
Have a wonder-filled week! Share your message with the world. And, most importantly, LIVE your message!
Each of us is put on Planet Earth for a reason. We have someone important to BE. Our Soul agreed with the Souls around us to play a certain role in every interaction. When you figure out who you came to Earth to be, your message to others grows out of who you are BEing.
How often have you been caught up in DOing so much that you haven’t have time to think about anything except putting one foot in front of the other and getting through the day? Happens to everyone occasionally. But if you are living your daily life like this you are missing your own message, to yourself and to the world.
Sit with yourself for a few minutes and ask yourself these two questions:
1) What is MY MESSAGE to the world? And, then,
2) Am I living MY MESSAGE in my daily life?
Bob Sima, a transformational musician, has a great message for his latest CD – Put a Little More Love in the World – and Bob lives his message as he travels around the world sharing his amazing music. Everyone who encounters his gifts knows that he is living this message.
Are you clear about YOUR MESSAGE? Do you know what you want to tell the world? Think about what you would say if you knew this were your last day on Planet Earth. What would you broadcast on a radio show to the world that day? What would you want the rest of the world to know, to ponder, to act on?
What do you feel about the gifts you have been given and how you are sharing those in the world? Are you living your message?
When you ask yourself these two questions you start to glimpse how you fit into the bigger picture of what is going on in 21st Century Earth life.
You HAVE a message to share, based on your gifts, talents and purpose. Your responsibility to all those other Souls is to crystallize that message and get it out into the world. You don’t have to write songs to share your message. Live it first!
You don’t have to be famous or have a radio show or write books to share your message to the world. I think of our daughter who is an Occupational Therapist and who works with infants and toddlers with challenges, coaching the parents on how to interact with their children in the most beneficial way. She LOVES those kids with all her heart. Her message to the parents is to bring out the best in the children through love and knowledge of what to do.
Every one of us is a child within an adult and we are looking for someone to help us to be the best we can be. If your gift is to help another person and you continue to hide or to avoid reaching out because you aren’t sure of your message, then you are not serving in the highest way that you are meant to serve. If you are seeking help and don’t know where to find it, look inside yourself to your own purpose, gifts, and talents. Share your own message and you will attract others who have the very message that you are seeking/needing to hear.
Live your message this week. Ask for help if you need to get clarity on what your message, purpose, gifts and talents are. Other Souls are waiting for you.
My video Tuesday of this week is about your “Big Why.” For some people their Big Why is money. What we learned from Suzanne Evans’ “Be the Change Event” last week is that your Big Why may take money. So, having the right relationship with money is essential for you to make progress toward your Big Why. Here’s a message from a couple of years ago addressing this very topic:
What’s your “money story”? Do you have blocks around money? Join RosemarySpace to learn how to emerge from your story and blocks, discover your Big Why and make the essential progress toward your Life goals – your Life Purpose!
So, why DO you get up in the morning? My answer to this question has changed over the course of my long corporate career. I had the opportunity to work on and lead a number of exciting technical projects, from space and earth sciences exploration to commercial software development and logistics planning and management. I always enjoyed my work, its challenges and rewards.
But for all that time I had a bigger “why”…family. Rosemary and I raised three fabulous kids, now in their 30s; they are off doing their own “family things” now. Yes, we have grandkids – a wonder! But they are their parents’ responsibility and their “why” now.
So as my family dynamics have shifted my “big why” is also shifting. Of course I still have family responsibilities to Rosemary but she is fully capable of taking care of herself. It is true that I am taking care of much of the “back-office” obligations of managing our businesses together, Rosemary’s The Scientific Mystic enterprise and our church and consciousness study center, Church of A New Alliance. And these efforts are fun and fruitful. But they are not up there with a “Big Why.”
I love to write. I write lots of things, including blog posts, like this one, poetry which I share selections on my blog (MenandtheGoddess.com), morning pages, sales copy for websites…I spend a lot of my time writing. But writing is not up there with a “Big Why.”
I love bodywork. Currently I am practicing both yoga and several forms of Qigong. In fact I am teaching three classes of Qigong now and really enjoying the sharing the physical “energetic” of the forms, the breath work and the Taoist philosophical underpinnings of Qigong.
This gets at another love: my love of world religions and spirituality. I am an ordained “Interfaith Minister” – by a seminary of Pebble Hill Church, Doylestown, PA. And since my ordination in 2000 I have continued to study, absorb and practice many of the world’s spiritual traditions, from Taoism, to Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Sufism to Judaism and Christianity, not to exclude indigenous cultures and their spiritual traditions. My emphasis in understanding these traditions is to gain insight through practice, not just learning the beliefs and reading the texts. It is through practice that we truly get in touch with one another.
I love community. I enjoy the dynamics and give and take, the yin and yang of community, of people sharing their gifts, their understanding and wisdom. How else can we get in tune with the world around us than through community.
I guess the bottom line of what gets me up in the morning is love. I’ve said before in this space that my highest value is PRACTICE –> LOVE. I’ve also mentioned that my fingerprints tell the same tale; my 10 loops for prints point to my purpose: LOVE.
So, yeah, love gets me up in the morning. It keeps me going through the day. And it’s often the last thing on my mind and in my heart as I drift off to sleep.
Big Whys are important. If you don’t know yours do some soul searching. Get your hand and fingerprints read by a Scientific Hand Analyst. Get help eliciting your Big Why if you need it. Knowing makes it fun to get up in the morning!

What’s Your MESSAGE? – Richard’s Commentary
May 14, 2014 — RichardOne of the catch phrases we heard at the Suzanne Evans’ Be the Change Event a couple of weeks ago is “turn your mess into your message.” This can be an interesting approach to answering Rosemary’s question! What does this mean?
If we examine our lives we will no doubt find some “messiness” under the surface. We all live with stuff. These messes, this stuff, is what Rosemary and I have called “lessons” over the many years of writing these articles, and publishing Rosemary’s Ezine. In fact we are here on the planet to learn lessons, right?
So, as we learn these lessons maybe it’s important, even part of our purpose, even our whole purpose, to share what we learn from our lessons – our messes! Our mess can become our message. This is story telling with a purpose.
But this advice needs to come with a warning: “Be sure your mess is cleared up, and be sure you have learned this lesson well, before you share the message you have gained”!
There’s a corollary to this approach to finding your message: we often learn what we are to teach; and the best form is mastery is to teach what we are working to master.
When Jeff Primack certified me to teach Qigong, his advice was to go out and teach the forms as soon as possible. “The only way to master the forms is to teach them.” Now, I was still shaking from the experience of being watched, judged and corrected as I “taught” the form to my little training group. Picturing myself teaching a group of strangers, even friends, was not a scene I was ready for! But I was soon offered the opportunity to lead a group and I have been teaching regularly for over a year now. Have I mastered the forms? No. But I am moving in that direction! I turned my messy form into my message.
Rosemary’s questions are the place to start to find your message:
Sit with yourself for a few minutes and ask yourself these two questions:
1) What is MY MESSAGE to the world? And, then,
2) Am I living MY MESSAGE in my daily life?
Or backing up a short step you could ask: What is the MESS that I have worked through in my life that would be helpful to share with the world as my MESSAGE. But only share that message if you are living that MESSAGE in your daily life!
The real trick is in the answer to that second question; you must be living that message to be effective in sharing it. In my case I practice Qigong almost every day. I am currently teaching three classes a week, attending a fourth and practicing in between. I am “living Qigong.” And Qigong is only part of my message!
So, look at your messes – the ones you have worked through, learned, even mastered – and ask if the world will be a better place if you share that mastery. Your message is there!
