Happy Birthday to YOU!!! – Richard’s Commentary

And I can also say Happy Birthday to the Moon today! She is new in Virgo. This just occurred at 7:38 am Eastern time.

Do you celebrate the New Moon each “moonth”? Are you aware of the phases of the moon and her travels through the night sky? The Ancients paid a great deal of attention to this goddess of the heavens. She lighted the way of night travelers, guided the seasons and times to plant, provided a calendar, effected tides and seafaring, and offered a rhythm to life and the basis of myth and wonder.

From modern research we know that life would be very different, if it existed at all, if it weren’t for our moon. Her influence on the planet and our lives is profound. So, I pay a lot of attention to her phases and my interaction with her. If you’ve been reading my posts for a while you’ll know, for example, that I cast an I Ching Gua (a hexagram of yin and yang lines) at each new moon to divine an energy for the up-coming month. (I’ll post that tomorrow.) I also celebrate the new moon as a new beginning, as a birthday of sorts, very much in keeping with Rosemary’s message this week. So, on this new moon day consider her advice:

Happy Birthday to YOU!!! Today is your birthday. You get to choose who you are today, right now, in this moment. You don’t even have to be the same as you were when you woke up this morning. OR you can decide that you like the YOU who woke up and you re-decide to celebrate YOU! Either way, it’s your birthday today.

It is a good time to start something new. I’m going to plant some fall vegetables in my garden today. And Rosemary and I are going to review our business plan and model to determine what’s working and what can be improved. It’s a new day as well as a new moon!

And this new moon is in the sign of Virgo. This too has special meaning. A dear friend and astrologer, Gloria Hesseloff, titled in her newsletter for the New Moon: Work is Love made Visible, using a line from a poem by Kahil Gibran. The Virgo Moon calls us to a higher work. Gloria writes:

Virgo energy challenges you to release any obstacles to finding your sacred work.  Integrating this goal with the radical changes that Pluto and Uranus are demanding of us right now,  ask yourself, “What changes do I need to make to my daily life routines and patterns (Virgo attributes) so I can be an instrument of the Divine?

Virgo energy asks you to become highly competent in a skill that is of value to others.  Then generously offer it as your high service.  Your specific gifts are truly needed at this significant moment in history.

Today is your birthday! Celebrate with me as I celebrate this New Moon and “the first day of the rest of my life”! We are always at choice. I choose to make my love visible through my work.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Happy Birthday to YOU!!!

People sometimes believe that they can’t change. My wonderful Mother used to say, ‘I’m too old to change.’ But in her 60s she studied Transcendental Meditation and started to meditate. She also adopted an attitude of ‘NMP – Not My Problem’ that freed her to relax about feeling responsible for everything and everyone around her. When we said that she had changed, she replied, ‘I didn’t change. I just changed my attitude!’

Every day, no matter how old or how young you are, you can adopt a new way of thinking, especially about yourself and who you are. Every morning is a rebirth, a new start, a ‘birthday.’

When you find yourself stuck in a rut, or not sure what your next step is, remind yourself that you are always at a point of choice in your life. What benefits are there to staying in that rut? Do you really not know the next step? Or are you afraid of what it might ask of you and, therefore, you choose not to seek help in identifying it?

Happy Birthday to YOU!!! Today is your birthday. You get to choose who you are today, right now, in this moment. You don’t even have to be the same as you were when you woke up this morning. OR you can decide that you like the YOU who woke up and you re-decide to celebrate YOU! Either way, it’s your birthday today.

Celebrate who you are at your very core, the Light that was inside you when you were born that shines into the world because you are here today. Remember that your circumstances are not you. Remember that the people around you are not you – they are mirrors to help you grow.

Every day is an opportunity to grow, to learn, to be compassionate, to share, to shine your Light. Every day is a choice – to be happy, sad, contented, upset. Every day is a chance for renewal – of yourself, your relationships, your circumstances.

Every day is your birthday.

So when you wake up tomorrow, decide to en-JOY the day. Reach inside for the Light and the Joy that resides in that Light and shine. Happiness can rest on circumstances, but Joy is ever-existing within the Light. Touch it.

Celebrate YOU!!! We are all so glad that you showed up on the Planet now. Thank you!

Remember to give of yourself as well as to receive. When you choose to en-JOY your day, your smile will shed the Light on those who need it. You’ll have plenty of JOY to share with others so share it.

Happy Birthday to YOU!!!

Richard and I are still unpacking boxes and searching for things! Why is it that the essentials that I put in a special safe place for the move are still missing? Guess they aren’t really so ‘essential’ after all!

We’re heading for a Virgo New Moon on September 5 at 7:38 am Eastern Daylight Time. This means that both the Sun and the Moon are in the astrological sign of Virgo and we’ll be feeling the energy of wanting to take inventory of our lives and our stuff. What to keep and what to release? What needs healing? What do we need to change so that we can live our purpose?

Use the coming days of the old Moon before the 5th to clear out the mental as well as the physical closets. Be ready to leap ahead with the insights that this New Moon will bring to you. It’s time to celebrate your re-birthday!

Have a cosmically wonder-full week!!!!

The Language of Being the Natural YOU – Richard’s Commentary

In Rosemary’s article this week she channels The Divine Feminine who quote a favorite line of the followers of The Law of Attraction and their key premise: “Energy flows where attention goes.” Then Rosemary explains that attention is thought and thought is governed by language. Therefore to be who we came here to be, we need to use the language we came here to use to think natural thoughts, to express ourselves using natural language, to adhere to natural beliefs in order to manifest our natural selves.

I like this word natural very much. There are many associations I have with this word, like nature, native, indigenous. One of my teachers, Martín Prechtel, claims that one of our main goals is to become a natural human being: one who belongs where they were, fits their environment, lives a natural life. He also teaches that a good way to begin to understand how to live a natural life is to learn an indigenous language, especially one that does not use the verb form “to be.”

And this brings me full circle to my posts last week about the concept of time and how natural people typically have a very different relationship with time than “western people” with their heavy reliance on the Indo-European language use of the to-be verb form.

So, what is this natural language Rosemary urges us to adopt in order to get in touch with the inner light that we are? Do we all have to learn an indigenous language that does not rely on “to be”? Or is there an easier way?

When I ask myself questions like this I find myself almost naturally going inside to seek answers. And when I go there long enough answers usually come bubbling up.

Of course when I do this I am following Rosemary’s advice explicitly! She says: “The Natural You is the being at your core, that center of Light that can brighten the world for others. Put your attention here. Focus on your BEING, not what you are DOING.”

But notice she is using the to-be verb forms here in this very suggestion! An interesting irony. Nevertheless her point is clear. And what I conclude is this natural language is the language of being. We speak this language when we meditate, when we go inside. We use this language not so much to express thoughts as to let thoughts go. We use this language when we touch our true nature, that light-being at our core. We use this language when we speak to God, or whatever expression for the Eternal appeals. We use this language when we speak from the heart. Poets use this language when they are at their best.

This natural language is easy enough to learn. But it is very difficult to perfect. It takes a lifetime of practice to get it right. We can all speak it as natives. But few become fluent. The world would be an awesome place; it would be “Heaven on Earth” if we all strove to perfect our use of our natural language!

And, yes, this is a belief I hold. I express this belief in an Indo-European language using the to-be form here: “would be.” My natural language is not a written language. It is difficult to find written examples except in rare instances of near perfect poems and certain stories of the heart. I have heard some of those stories, translations of stories from natural people, like stories Martín Prechtel tells.

Do you speak a natural language? How do you get in touch with your inner light? How do you express your beliefs that guide you through this world? This is your natural language.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: The Language of Being the Natural YOU

Today’s message starts with guidance, and then I’ll comment.

“Dear Ones,

Energy flows where attention goes.

This is a familiar phrase to many. But the part that many do not know is that language directs the attention that the energy follows.

This is why a worrier can create such havoc in their life. They talk about their worries (attention) and the energy flows into the possibility that manifests that reality containing the worried-about-events.

Language, then, becomes the focuser of attention.

Language is also a component of thought. You think in a language that describes a picture or a quality or an event. Choosing language carefully, even in thought, is very important.

This is especially important when communicating with another person. The language you use creates a response in the other person. Is the energy flowing between the two of you as you wish or is your choice of language communicating something different to the receiver?

When you keep your thoughts focused on that which you desire to manifest, and you choose your language carefully to support that direction, then the energy to manifest will follow the path of your attention to manifest your desires.

This path also works to manifest your worries, if that is where your thoughts go.

You choose.

And so it is.”

Rosemary’s Commentary:

As we reiterate that ‘energy follows attention,’ we have to examine not only our thoughts, worries, speech but also the source of those thoughts, worries, speech. These originate from our self-concept, our beliefs about who we are.

If you find yourself focusing on your faults, your deservedness (or unworthiness), your lack of direction or confidence in your next step, then you are sending energy to maintain that fault, feeling of unworthiness or confusion.

Catch yourself using the language of what you ARE NOT and change it to WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

Much of my client time is spent helping them to find a new way of languaging what they are saying. Just shifting from ‘either-or’ thinking to ‘and’ thinking can make a huge difference. But it’s the subtleties of the choice of language that can really trip you up.

Each of us puts up a persona to the world as if we have donned a mask to hide behind. But who are we REALLY?

You are not what you lack or worry about. You are a great Light in the world shining only as brightly as you energize that Light.

The Natural You is the being at your core, that center of Light that can brighten the world for others. Put your attention here. Focus on your BEING, not what you are DOING.

Energize the Light that you already are!

This is the Natural You. Speak, think, believe ONLY the language of the Being of Light that is the real YOU.

Language will focus the attention that allows the energy to flow and brighten your Light!

NEWS FROM ROSEMARY

centaurusAWe’re still in the middle of moving in(i.e., unpacking boxes) but we just hung our biggest picture, one of Mother Mary, and that makes our house seem like our home. Funny how one beautiful object can bring such peace and joy!

Welcome to the world of Virgo! Lover of beauty and details. The Sun entered the sign of Virgo on August 22 (the day we did the picture-hanging!) and left fiery Leo. Now we can look around us and inside of ourselves to find the beauty that is there. This is a good time to evaluate your environment to make sure that you feel comfortable and that things are neat and beautiful.

As you evaluate your interior environment, YOU, get down to the business of being your Purpose and living your Mission. Are you confused about your next step? Remember that all through August I am offering a special check-in reading for only $65 because it’s my birthday month! Great time to get ready for that Fall Housecleaning, inside (you) and outsideClick Here for this Special Deal!

As soon as we get our new Meeting Room cleared of boxes (soon, I hope!) we’ll be offering Satsang with Rosemary – Teachings from Many Dimensions and Healing Message Services. These will be powerful experiences with spiritual teachers like The Divine Feminine and the Sirius Mystery Temple Teachersgiving us their guidance. The Healing Message Service will contain both a message time and a healing time with special Spirit Doctors and Reiki Masters from The Other Side. You’ll want to make sure you put these on your calendar! Specifics will be in the MuseLetter next week so be sure to read yours and share with your friends. Better yet, send THIS MuseLetter to your fr iends and suggest that they sign up for their own copy to stay informed.

I accompanied our grandson to his ‘Meet the Teacher Day’ at his elementary school and started thinking about the beginning of the school year. Even if there’s no one in the house who is in school, it feels as if it’s a time of new beginnings. Think about what you want to do with the rest of 2013. What would you like to learn? I’ve got some classes and events coming up, like a weekend retreat in November, and, if there’s a specific class you’d like for me to offer, please send me an email with your suggestions. I’m considering Dialoguing with your Dreams, Dowsing for Decisions, to name a few classes. It would be great if you could send along what you’re looking for! Rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com

As August winds down and school begins for the kids, relax and be your natural self!

And Happy Birthday to our grandson, Joshie, on August 28! Enjoy being 11 and the Fifth Grade!
