ROSEMARY’S NEWS

ngc2074If a flock of robins is in the yard, can Spring be far beyond? We still have another 2 weeks of Winter to get through before the Spring Equinox and one more week of building, waxing Moon energy. This is still the time to be planning, assessing, dreaming of new projects and ideas.

How are you doing with your dreams for 2014? Are you focused? Do you have a way to live your purpose that stretches you to grow? After the transformation energy of 2012 arrived there has been an urgency to keep moving forward, to clear away the clutter and the blocks that might have been holding you back. This Spring Equinox is inviting you to burst forth onto the world stage as the flowers in your garden will blossom! Are you prepared? Have you done the work of Winter to examine your limiting beliefs and release them?

Getting ready for Spring is more than planning what to plant and bringing out the clothes for the season. This year make sure your Spring Cleaning includes some mental and emotional clearing as well. If you’re tired of not realizing your big dreams, if you feel stuck and can’t see your way to those dreams, then do the inner work to clear the path so that you can Spring Forward this month. Be sure to schedule your private session with me to clear away Winter’s cobwebs as you seek clarity about what’s ahead for you and what your next step should be. Send me an email and we can look at what would be the best support for you as this year continues to unfold and we move into a new season. rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com

And REMEMBER TO TURN YOUR CLOCKS AHEAD 1 HOUR SUNDAY MORNING IN THE US!!! It’s time for Daylight Savings Time again so you’ll lose an hour’s sleep Saturday night but Sunday evening you’ll enjoy the extra daylight. Prepare to Spring Forward in your life as you Spring Forward your clocks.

Are you in the Portland, Oregon or Seattle, Washington areas? I’m thinking of heading there after Suzanne Evans’ Be The Change event at the end of April. Would you be interested in gathering some friends and hosting a Conversation with The Other Side? Or having a private session with me in person while I visit? Send me an email and I’ll see if I can put a Pacific Northwest tour together! I might even offer the Possibilities Playshop in Portland! Let me know what you’re interested in attending. rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com

Have a Dream-y week! Remember to DREAM BIG!!!

Wake Up and Evolve! – Richard’s Commentary

This whole notion of “waking up” has been with us for millennia. The Aborigines of Australia refer to life here on planet earth as “dream-time”; death is a form of waking up! Twenty-five hundred years ago, Shakyamuni became The Buddha by “waking up” to the reality of his Four Noble Truths, the Eight-Fold Path, and all the lessons and sutras that followed. To a large extent this idea of awakening is about a choice; it is a conscious choice to “Wake Up”!

Here’s the key sentence from Rosemary’s article:

But, when you really decide to grow, to wake up, to evolve, you can change your beliefs!

Decide. Decide to grow, wake up, evolve. And once this choice is made there is no end to the awakening. As soon as some new concept is grasped another comes along to either build on it or tear it all down and build another conceptualization of some aspect of reality. Here’s the best part: there is no end to penetrating the truth or reality because as soon as we think we have it in our grasp, it evolves!

What, reality is evolving? What kind of notion is this? I suppose even this expansive concept is just that, another concept, another belief. But, if reality is in fact, the sum total of everything we “know” – our consciousness and our knowledge – then, our consciousness is growing, or evolving, and reality is evolving!

Rosemary and I are a part of a wonderful group of people who get together every first Wednesday evening of the month to discuss “spiritual” topics. We call our group The Spiritual Exploration Group. And our only “rule” for the group is “we gather for discussion, not dogma.” Our topic for the month, and probably the next several months, is “Consciousness.” In fact one of the articles we shared with the group stated that “spirituality” is really an outmoded term; “consciousness” creates a much larger context and is, perhaps, the more apt word to encompass the totality of our discussion topics. (We are in the process of renaming our group The Consciousness Exploration Group!) Another of our articles for consideration is by Ken Wilber who has thought and written extensively about consciousness. In his Integral Model of the world of consciousness he has defined levels; and he sees no end to the development of additional levels as we continue to expand our knowledge, our consciousness. This is evolution!

And we have a choice to be part of this evolutionary process. We can continue to learn, to think, to meditate, to study new concepts, to discard beliefs and form new ones, to tear down our ivory towers and open to the wide world of expansiveness, to “wake up.”

Some days it is easier to sit back and relax in our current set of beliefs, our world-view and enjoy the flow of life without strain. But there is so much happening in the world of consciousness, from discovering the very mechanisms of consciousness in the physical plane, to penetrating the mystery of how consciousness effects the physical plane that it is impossible for awakening people to sit still! It is these awakening ones who are pushing the envelope of consciousness, who are evolving!

Are you comfortable in your slumber or are you awakening? It’s a wonderful, expanding world out there! Join us.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Wake Up and Evolve!

I am so glad that you are reading this! It tells me that you are seeking, that you are open to exploring, that you care about ideas and what is happening on the Planet. Congratulations!

Sometimes it is difficult to have a discussion with someone who has closed their mind to new ideas and wants only to reinforce what they already believe. But this person is usually operating out of some fear that controls their thinking and, thus, their life.

Are you that kind of person in some area of your life? Oh, you might wish to think of yourself as broad-minded and open to new ideas, ready to shift your thinking, but what about that relationship in which you are certain that you have formed the correct opinion about the other person? What if you don’t know the whole picture, and, if you did, you would be more sympathetic, more understanding?

Big ideas can be like that. We THINK we know all we need to know about something and then we form an opinion. For many, that opinion then gets set into concrete, never to be brought out for re-examination or re-consideration. These are the ‘don’t confuse me with the facts’ people. Just as you might think you know enough about another person to form a solid opinion, what if they are dealing with cancer, just lost their job or a loved one, are coming from court after losing custody of their children? Would that alter your opinion?

You have many ideas about how the world is that were formed when you were growing up and making decisions about what to believe. You had a little kid’s perspective. You knew what that little kid knew, probably not the whole picture, and you decided to believe something.

This belief might be something like, ‘Daddy yelled at me because my report card isn’t good enough. I’ll never be good enough.’ Or, ‘My sister is the smart one. I can’t get as good a grade as she can.’ There are so many beliefs that are insidious because they live with that little child within who dwells in your unconscious mind. That inner child is making decisions for you in your life, at the unconscious level, based on the belief formed many years ago.

Have you ever planned to do something and then not carried through? How many New Year’s Resolutions have you broken? It’s this belief in your unconscious mind that trips you up.

But, when you really decide to grow, to wake up, to evolve, you can change your beliefs!

If you want to Live Your Richest Life, then you start with shedding anything that is holding you back or blocking you from the path you desire. This starts with the beliefs you hold that might not be true anymore, and, perhaps, were never true.

What if you believed that the Earth was flat? Would you get into a ship and sail across the ocean into that unknown and scary edge of the world? And then what if NASA launched a satellite that took a picture of Earth from Space that showed the blue ball hanging in Space without a flat edge showing at all? Would you take in that new information and change your belief about the Earth and accept that it is round?

This is the basic question about ‘evolve or not.’ If you can be presented with new evidence, if you are open to new ideas, if you are willing to consider that you might have to change your mind based on new data, then would you be willing to have the conversations that might open you up?

Evolution isn’t about the monkeys. It’s really about the Evolution of Human Consciousness. In order to evolve, we must first Wake Up!

ROSEMARY’S NEWS

???“Above all, remember that the most important thing you can take anywhere is not a Gucci bag or French-cut jeans; it’s an open mind.” – Gail Rubin Bereny

The best news: Mercury goes direct today, at 9:00 am Eastern Time, to be precise (on Friday, February 28). For those who have been wondering, yes, Mercury has been retrograde (appearing to move backward when viewed from Earth) for the last 3 weeks. We’ve had computer issues, communication issues, mail not arriving. All Mercury items! So, while things still might be a bit sluggish for a few days, they will be getting back to normal soon. The next Mercury Retrograde starts June 7 so we have some time to relax.

The days are getting noticeably longer and I saw a robin standing in the snow this week. Woo Hoo!!! Can Spring be far behind? While I love Winter, I’m getting excited about the wonderful energy of action that comes with the Spring Equinox on March 20. We still have 3 more weeks to do our inner work and plan before we launch new projects.

Tomorrow is a New Moon in Pisces, at 2:59 am Eastern Time. This New Moon is inviting us to create new beliefs, new thoughts, new dreams and desires for our life. The key words for the sign of Pisces: I Believe. Now figure out what you believe and what you are ready to stop believing.

In the healing sessions that I have offered (and there are still some slots left) I am seeing huge shifts occur with the transmission of energy and you don’t even have to know consciously what is shifting! The guides and healing angels are working hard to make sure that we experience the fullness of what the Universe has to offer this year. If you are ready for a breakthrough, I strongly encourage you to claim one of the remaining healing sessions. I have been guided to limit the number that I do but I still have room for you if you are ready to breakthrough to that next level of consciousness and Live Your Richest Life THIS YEAR. Send me an email and we can discuss your situation and whether or not this breakthrough opportunity is for you. rosemary@thescientificmystic.com

If you participated in the Possibilities Playshop you’ll know that we enter a new ‘moonth’ with every New Moon. This cycle of the Moon helps us to learn about our dreams and desires. Plan and consider what you are bringing into your life and record this in your Playbook. It’s fun to work with the Moon! And if you weren’t in the Playshop, you will have another chance to create your own Possibilities Playbook in a couple of months. Stay tuned! If you just can’t wait, you can still purchase the DVDs of the January Playshop and do it on your own. Here’s the link: Possiblilities Playshop

Keep an open mind. Get rid of beliefs that don’t serve you. Let’s work together to make this the year you Live Your Richest Life! Spring is coming and you want to be ready to Spring Forward.

Happy Mardi Gras week!

Survive or Thrive? – Richard’s Commentary

The Divine Feminine challenge us in Rosemary’s article to make the key choice in this life: we can either scrabble for survival in what many think is a “dog-eat-dog world”; or we can step up and out to live our True Purpose, the reason the Universe supported our birth in this time and space, and thrive!

It really is that simple. And it really is a choice. Here’s how They put it through Rosemary:

Many people on Earth in 21st Century Societies are greedy for what they don’t have – riches, power, control, freedom, pride. These people are distracted from what is really important.

When one seeks to live one’s purpose, one finds that collaboration with others supports thriving in life.

There are the choices: survive or thrive.

Interestingly They do bring up karma, more as a threat than a factor in our choice. They say: Don’t think that you can thrive by pushing someone else to the brink of survival. Those who believe that this is acceptable will learn exactly what the rules of karma are. But doesn’t karma affect our choice, our purpose? Are people merely in survival mode because they have past “debts” to work through?

I am in the middle of asking this very question of myself, working through the process of purging karma, some from my younger days and likely a whole lot from past lives. I am practicing an intense “yoga” in preparation for Kalachakra Initiation, known as Kalachakra Tantra Six Session Yoga composed by the First Panchen Lama. And things are coming up. Some days in the midst of practice I ask myself if I am making any progress, if all this is worth the effort. Can we really purge, burn up, karma? And, is this part of the choice we must make to turn mere survival into thriving?

When I ask the hard questions I am often blessed with answers. Today I received two “replies” to my deepest seeking. The first is from Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. He quotes his guru, Sri Yuktesvar: “Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.”

My second answer came from my Goddess Cards, art by Susan Seddon Boulet and words by Michael Babcock. Today I drew Hathor, a Great Mother Goddess. And here is what Babcock says of her: “Hathor reminds us that we, too, must acknowledge all parts of ourselves, that what we call destructive is sometimes necessary to allow our creativity and compassion to flourish.”

Wow; thank you, Universe! Ask and you shall receive!

I have full permission to step into my purpose and thrive. I will most certainly continue the Six Session Yoga to see what comes up next.

And you, too, have the permission of the Universe, in fact the demand, that you step into your purpose and thrive! The choice is yours!

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Survive or Thrive?

A message from The Divine Feminine:

“Dear Ones,

To merely survive is not the same as to thrive. The Universe is set up so that each individual can thrive unless that opportunity is taken away from them.

Every plant is poised to thrive unless it is deprived of soil, nutrients, sunlight, water. Every animal has the tools it needs when its natural habitat is allowed to thrive. Human beings have been able to thrive on Planet Earth until the population has reached billions.

Some might argue that earlier peoples did not thrive and were wiped out. While it is true that some populations are no longer on the Planet, all who have lived as a part of a tribe have had an opportunity.

Some groups are no longer on the Planet because others conquered and destroyed them. Some were deprived of light or sustenance because of natural disasters. In modern times, greed of one sort or another has resulted in huge numbers of deaths.

War comes about because of greed, for power or money or territory. Governments who suppress the power of the people are greedy for power and control and, often, riches. Those who can kill others easily do it out of a sense of superiority over others and are greedy for a position of pride.

Many people on Earth in 21st Century Societies are greedy for what they don’t have – riches, power, control, freedom, pride. These people are distracted from what is really important.

When one seeks to live one’s purpose, one finds that collaboration with others supports thriving in life.

For some people struggling with survival, they have been put into that position as a direct result of some other person or people and greed.

Homelessness is not the natural state. Even in Nature, orphaned babies of one species are often taken in and raised by a mother of another species. Humans are meant to be communal and to support each other but, when greed gets in the way, people can end up struggling to survive.

Don’t think that you can thrive by pushing someone else to the brink of survival. Those who believe that this is acceptable will learn exactly what the rules of karma are.

And if you are surviving then it is your work to live your purpose and thrive.

Make the choice to thrive and all other choices become clear.

And so it is.”

The Divine Feminine guide us into position so that we can take an honest look at the life we are leading, especially as it relates to living our purpose, the reason we incarnated on Planet Earth at this time. We were meant to thrive!

There are so many ways to merely survive – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually. And, yet, we are conscious beings who have the ability to create our world with our thoughts.

What if we become ‘Conscious Creators’ and focus our intentions on thriving? What if we decide that it is important to help others not only to survive but to thrive? Can you imagine the energy that is generated when that becomes the focus of our thoughts and behaviors?

Thrive because you have found your purpose. Set your sights beyond mere survival and Live Your Richest Life.

Many of my clients are doing ‘okay’ in their life but they feel that there is something more, something calling to them. A book to write, a program to start, a foundation to create, a new product to develop. For some it is the search for peace within so that they are free to live the purpose they know they were born to manifest. Mere survival is not what drives them to thrive!

But it is important to clear the way, to get rid of those blocks that prevent the energy of ‘thrive’ and throw us into the energy of ‘survive.’

Reaching for the higher purpose brings a joy, a peace, an excitement that creates a beautiful energy in which to thrive! Accept that the Universe will help you to survive and jump on the bandwagon to thrive!
