A Friday Poem: It’s All Just Lies
Yesterday’s post from Rosemary’s Exploration was all about truth and Truth. It seems as soon as we find a truth for our lives we discover a hollowness to it that we then seek to grow beyond, to find a new truth to stand on. And then a shift occurs and we are seeking again.
In pondering this seeking through layers of “truth” today’s poem “wrote itself” out of my musings:
It’s All Just Lies
The stories we tell ourselves?
We make them all up!
What if I told you your stories are crap?
We make it all up.
It’s all just lies!
The illness, the stress, the difficult life?
We make them all up!
The suffering, meltdowns, tales of strife?
We make it all up.
It’s all just lies!
The happy places, the glade, the glen?
We make them all up!
This life, that death, new birth and growth?
We make it all up.
It’s all just lies!
The Qi, the flow, yin and yang?
We make them all up!
Even the Dao, the ground of all being?
We make it all up.
It’s all just lies!
So, where is the truth, what is real?
Keep looking my friend;
Believe nothing you feel!

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Truth is Light
The truth inside you is revealed by your finding your Inner Light and shining that out into the world.
Do you think that you know the ‘Truth’ with a capital ‘T’? So often, we seek truth, we think we find truth, we think our truth is better than their truth. But, really, what is this truth that we seek, find, compare?
Did you used to believe in Santa Claus? The Tooth Fairy? The Easter Bunny? What is the truth around these characters?
Maybe you believed in the Boogeyman or the Monster Under the Bed? What is the truth about these characters?
Your belief made these very real to you. I suspect, however, that you have changed your truth around Santa Claus and the Boogeyman. What makes you feel that other stories you once believed, or believe today, cannot also change as you mature, evolve and grow?
The truth of who you are is the Inner Light that is the spark of the Divine, your connection to Source Energy, the Universe Within, your Spirit. Whatever you call your essence it is your truth.
What you believe can change from day to day, from moment to moment, but who you are – who you REALLY are, at your core – that does not change.
When you believe that you are a light being, placed on this Earth with a purpose to fulfill, a reason for being here, in this very place at this very moment surrounded by the very people who surround you, then you can be who you really are.
Your circumstances do not define who you are. Who you love and who doesn’t love you have nothing to do with the Light Within you. What you do does not say who you are. Your success or failure does not speak to who you are.
You are Light. Your truth comes from the cosmic light that was formed at the beginning of the Universe. Anything that is trying to dim you, to dim your light, is not truth.
Just as Santa Claus is a belief, so is most of what you believe about yourself ‘just a belief.’
I hear from clients language that tells me their belief has crept into their definition of ‘truth.’ ‘I’m not smart enough.’ ‘I can’t afford that.’ ‘I’m too fat to _____.’ ‘When I get that job I’ll be happy.’ ‘I’m too old to _____.’
I also hear things like ‘Life is hard.’ ‘Suffering is just a part of life.’ ‘I don’t have anyone who will help me.’
The list goes on. And I would bet that you could add to this list from your own experience.
Yet, these beliefs are not Truth with a capital T. They are beliefs. Beliefs can change.
“I’m the only one who can take care of that’ can change to ‘I’ll ask my brother to handle that issue for Mom.’ ‘I don’t have enough money to get the help I need’ can change to ‘I trust that money will come to me as I need it when I get my priorities straight.’
This list goes on, too.
Your truth can change as you mature, evolve and grow. Let it shift. Look for the Light. Truth has a Light Quality about it that helps you to believe.
The Truth is that you are your Inner Light. Now be who you REALLY are!
PS: Do you find it difficult to access your Inner Light from the place of stress in your daily life? Rosemary has a short, 7-minute meditation audio to help you relax, release and access that Light. You can get it now, here on her website: Get Meditation
ROSEMARY’S INSPIRATION: New Moon – New Light!
Are you seeing that beautiful Moon, Venus, Jupiter alignment as the waxing Moon sets to the west these evenings? Watch for the “New Lights” and enjoy the high light of summer!

NEW MOON NEWS FROM ROSEMARY
Greetings; and Happy New Moon in Gemini!
“Be still and look inside for the answers. Trust that you have an Inner Wisdom that speaks your truth to you.”
Make things happen now, while the Moon is growing in the night sky from dark to Full. Think new thoughts. Believe new ideas. Find new ways to listen, to communicate.
Use the Gemini energy to improve communications. Mercury is now moving in a direct pattern – we survived another dreaded retrograde period! Woo Hoo! Focus on the listening side of communicating while you observe yourself – are you getting the response you want or are your communications creating something different? Take responsibility for communicating authentically while allowing others to be valued and appreciated for their authentic selves.
The Summer Solstice is coming up on June 21 – the longest day of the year for us in the northern hemisphere. The most Light of the year! What new Light can you shine into the world this week?
Someone recently asked how to convince someone else that it is important to pay attention to the Moon. What do you think? Does it matter? My answer is that we are mostly water and the Moon visibly affects the waters of the Chesapeake Bay so why shouldn’t we be affected by the same energy that brings in a super high tide?
I’ve also talked to folks who work in Emergency Rooms and they KNOW, with great certainty, that the Moon affects people because they can track it in the emergencies that they see.
Knowledge is Power. To live a Conscious Life means to be conscious of what is going on around you. Noticing the Moon and her cycles is a part of that knowledge.
PS: The Hubble image is of NGC 6503, a Spiral Galaxy “Lost in Space.” From the Hubble Site: “…this galaxy, known as NGC 6503, has found itself in a lonely position, at the edge of a strangely empty patch of space called the Local Void. The Local Void is a huge stretch of space that is at least 150 million light-years across.”
FULL MOON IN SAGITTARIUS/FULL MOON POEM
We experienced a full moon this past Tuesday, just after noon Eastern Time. We are still in that energy (three days before and three days after). Here are Rosemary’s thoughts and feelings about this particular Moon Energy:
“The time is here to drop stress and reach for enlightenment. Bring more light into your life. Focus not on the darkness that might be around you. Instead, BE the brightest light in your own environment.”
This Full Moon finds us getting ready for the official arrival of Summer. Here in the Northern Hemisphere things are heating up. The days are longer and longer.
It’s an exciting time of graduations, school endings, weddings and Summer celebrations. People want to be out in the sunshine.
And with this Full Moon (Tuesday, June 2 at 12:18 pm Eastern Daylight Time) the Moon is reflecting the most sunlight that it reflects in its cycle. The Moon is in the sign of Sagittarius, where straight-shooting truth is the order of the day. The Sun is in the sign of Gemini which is all about communication and the sharing of information.
Where can you shine the light on some truth that may have been hiding in the shadows? Are you ready to reveal something about yourself and how you feel? This Full Moon invites you to release what is no longer serving your highest good. Release, too, the ‘stuff’ that has been clogging up flow in your life – clutter, things, houses, jobs, people. Move aside what is holding you back and leap forward.
If you have a Vision for your life or business or relationship and are looking to turn that Vision into a Reality, then join theMaster HeartMind Program and learn the tools that you need to create a Roadmap to your new Reality!

We are starting the program soon so reserve your space now!
And here is a poem for the full moon:
Full Moon’s Peace
In some ways La Luna
Can drive one mad.
Her voluptuousness
Brings on crazy or sad.
Admire her swelling
As she rises to East.
Her blush is Sun’s shining
As he sinks to the West.
Release the fullness building inside;
No need to hold it, let go of pride.
There’s no more to say, nothing to do;
Just open, exhale, flow with the ride.
And with each breath, deepen, release.
Empty to wonder, sense the ease.
Let her absorb the stress and pain;
Float on the wave to Full Moon’s Peace.
