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 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!
Rosemary’s “two minute” video: New Moon – New Light!
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 have a limited number of spaces available in this group program where you can access your Vision, Clear your Blocks/Limiting Beliefs/Negative Thoughts, and develop your Plan to take the next step forward.

Send me an emal with any questions: rosemary@TheScientificMystic.com
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.

Happy New Moon in Taurus! Celebrate with Haiku
For this New Moon I’ve written three Haiku. The bull does like his beauty, both light and dark!
Moon Death
Mourn the losses deep;
Moon death carries them down.
But wait; look west. Birth!
Moon Drift
Celebrate the gain.
Moon drift carries her beyond.
Light breaks to the west!
Moon Dark
Rest through the night deep;
No struggle, no pain – Moon dark.
Light returns – renewed!

And here, from Rosemary, is all the New Moon information for the next couple of weeks, as we move into this waxing moon phase:
“When the Moon is dark it is inviting you to shine your light into the world. Be the beacon of light that is needed to show the way. The light is within you.”
Are you ready to claim who you really are? To claim how you really feel? This is a great time to shed the shells! Be YOU, fully YOU, just the way you are, which is PERFECT!
And if there is anything that you are looking to bring into your life, send out your request now, during the energy of the New Moon. Stay in gratitude even when you don’t control the timetable. Let your gratitude grow while the Moon grows from dark to Full in the sky.
This is also the start of a 3-week period where Planet Mercury goes retrograde – it appears to travel backward in the sky. Mercury represents communications so be careful. Check those emails and tweets before you send them. Read and re-read contracts or, better yet, wait until after June 11 to sign them. Others will be distracted, too, so pay close attention to your driving and drive defensively.
This, too, shall pass. Creative people often find Mercury Retrograde periods to be inspiring so take some time to go inside and explore.
I am so excited about the difference that essential oils are making in our lives! I recently twisted my knee and went right to the oils for relief. Swelling was minimal and I attribute that to swift and frequent application of the oils. We’re still filling the diffuser with a combination that makes dealing with allergies a thing of the past, even though the pollen is so heavy that we’re getting the car washed all the time. If you are living a more natural life then essential oils are the way to go. We’ve replaced our medicine chest with oils and I believe the plants are where our healing energies can be found. Would you like to join me online to learn more about what we’re doing with essential oils? Send me an email and I’ll let you know:rosemary@TheScientific Mystic.com

The Hubble picture today celebrates the 25th anniversary of this magnificent “light gatherer.” Here’s more info:
APRIL 23, 2015: NASA and ESA are celebrating the Hubble Space Telescope’s silver anniversary of 25 years in space by unveiling some of nature’s own fireworks — a giant cluster of about 3,000 stars called Westerlund 2. The cluster resides inside a vibrant stellar breeding ground known as Gum 29, located 20,000 light-years away in the constellation Carina. The comparatively young, 2-million-year-old star cluster contains some of our galaxy’s hottest, brightest, and most massive stars. The largest stars are unleashing a torrent of ultraviolet light and hurricane-force winds that etch away the enveloping hydrogen gas cloud. This creates a fantasy celestial landscape of pillars, ridges, and valleys.

New Moon News
Greetings Readers! Here’s the Celestial Weather news from Rosemary:
Spring forward into the beauty of a new season! Of course, Mother Nature really is the one in charge as we prepare for a first-day-of-Spring snowfall. But the crocuses are starting to pop up so can daffodils be far behind?
If your energy has been off-kilter lately you can blame Pluto and Uranus. These two planets are squaring off to invite us to awaken and transform. And when you read the Moon News below you’ll see some other things going on in the heavens that can affect your moods and energy.
I’m excited about a lot of fun events coming up. Be sure to save April 25 for the Bazaar! And we’ll be attending the Annapolis Film Festival at the end of the month. Will you?
Welcome to all our new members of RosemarySpace! We’re happy you are here!
“Open your heart to yourself. Everything you need to know lives inside you. Do not apologize for being you. You are the unique one the world has been waiting for. Be who you really are.”
Lots of celestial news for you! On Friday, March 20, we have THREE big events happening:
There is a New Moon at 5:36 am Eastern Daylight Time (EDT). Then a Total Solar Eclipse at 5:45 am EDT. (People are flocking to the Faroe Islands to see the totality.) And the Vernal (Spring) Equinox occurs when the Sun moves into the sign of Aries at 6:45 pm EDT.
“Q. How many fairy godmothers does it take to change a light bulb? A. Into what?
…Now is a good time to believe in faeries and to acknowledge all tiny tickles: desires, wishes, imaginings, beliefs, seeds of ideas…” [from We’Moon 20215]
The Spring Equinox is the start of the astrological year and a time of new beginnings, new growth, the emergence of trees and flowers and even longer days. What new desires or wishes are showing up in your heart? NOW is the time to plant them as seeds and watch them grow as the Moon grows in the sky from the New Moon/Dark Moon to her fullness in 2 weeks.
Believe that the Universe is a generous and supportive place in which to live. I mean, do you really have a choice of living somewhere else? Think of the Universe as your Fairy Godmother, ready with her magic wand to grant your biggest wish. What would you ask for?
Now is the time to ask! The Moon is shadowing the Sun for the solar eclipse so that we receive pure Moon energy, loving, emotionally-supportive energy. Take a moment now to reach into your heart and decide what you really want, what really matters to you. Now ask for it and also ask that you be shown how to move toward the realization of that dream.
Dream – Ask – Act. That’s the process. Then be grateful for whatever the Universe brings you because it is in keeping with your highest good.
What topics would you like to explore? I am working on a class schedule for the coming months and would love to hear from you! Dreams? Dowsing for Decisions? Spiritual Technologies and Tools? Let me know! I offer classes online as well as in person in Maryland and elsewhere so we can make it happen even if you live far away.
This Spring I am extending the Hypnosis for Healers Class into Part 2. If you weren’t able to join us for Part 1 you can purchase the recordings and materials here [LINK] and then join us in person in Maryland for Part 2 [or get the recordings]. We’ll be doing a lot of practice with creating guided visualizations for specific purposes. If you work with clients, lead meditation, do any kind of visualization exercises, you’ll want to learn the techniques and tips in these classes!
SAVE THE DATE: SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 11:00 am – 3:00 pm
The Shop for Mom (& Yourself!) Bazaar is happening! We have many amazing vendors bringing their wares for you to explore so that you can get ready for Mothers’ Day or just have fun and shop for something YOU would like to have. Bring a friend and come for a visit. More details coming soon. Be sure to reserve the date on your calendar! [Benefits our spiritual study center but there is no cost to attend!]
Take advantage of all this Energy of New and start something BIG this Spring!
ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Honor and Love Yourself!
This is a time to honor yourself and to LOVE yourself! Most of our training is about loving others, caring for others, helping others. But I have come to see that this training can lead us to believe that serving others means denying our own needs, serving until we are depleted and forced to cry ‘uncle.’
This moonth is about loving yourself enough to have love and service energy to spare to give to others.
Lisa Nichols teaches about ‘serving from the saucer.’ She says that a teacup represents you and the saucer catches the overflow when you are filled up. Don’t serve others from the teacup, which you must keep filled if you want to be of use to others.
Instead, serve from the overflow in the saucer. When the saucer is empty, you must fill up the cup (you) until it overflows again. If you empty the cup, there is nothing to give to others.
This makes sense, doesn’t it?
I frequently hear clients struggling with trying to find balance between taking care of others – children, parents, spouse – and taking care of self. Sometimes they have to get sick to get a day off! I hope you hear Lisa Nichols’ idea as permission to fill up your cup before you have to get sick.
Love is a powerful energy. It is meant to be shared, to radiate outward. But, remember, that ‘All love flows from self-love.’ Until you really embrace that belief, you will give until you are depleted and then you cannot help either yourself or others.
Self-love is not the same as the selfish belief that others don’t matter. Self-love says, ‘I love myself enough to take care of myself so that I am able to take care of others.’
That spiel on the airplane about ‘put your own oxygen mask on first before you help someone else with theirs’ has real meaning. If you pass out from lack of oxygen there are 2 of you in trouble!
So during this time, ask yourself, ‘How can I best serve myself? What is my inner self needing/wanting? How can I give that to myself?’
Maybe it’s time to explore what is holding you back from having great joy in your life. Dissolve the blocks that keep you from manifesting magnificence. Let them go as the moon gets smaller in the sky.
Clear the way for the new energy that is wanting to come in at the next New Moon on Friday, March 20 at 5:36 am Eastern Daylight Time. This will be a special day – with a Total Solar Eclipse and the Sun moving into Aries – Spring Equinox!

FULL MOON NEWS/FULL MOON POEM
Today is a Full Moon Day. Did you notice? A bunch of snow fell on the Mid-Atlantic region. We got about 6 inches here in Maryland. This may not sound like much if you live in Buffalo or Finland. But it is enough to bring our community and the region to its knees. Most offices were closed today, including Federal offices in Washington!
Growing up in Wisconsin I do remember a snow day or two during my entire school experience. Even the University of Wisconsin, Madison shut down one day while I was there. Maybe we were tougher then!
Today I’ve been lazy! I have literally felt this Full Moon through my entire body. I’d like to think I’m becoming more sensitive to the heavy energies surrounding Full Moons. Maybe I’m just getting older! Whatever the case it is good to pay attention to moon cycles as both Rosemary and I have been blogging about lately.
And yes, I am getting around to publishing poems here. Today’s is a bit of fun I poke at myself as I groan about the effect this Full Moon is having on me:
Full Moon Symptoms
Sinuses swell with the flooding tide
As the Sun and Moon move into
Opposition
Fluids flow and pulse at every level –
Molecular, cellular, twisting tissues, stretching
Compositions
These are Full Moon symptoms –
The pressure, pounding surf – no
Dispensation
Relax, move into the flow, honor
These sensations, even the pain. Accept the
Compensations

Not sure what those “compensations” are! Maybe it’s permission to take an afternoon nap.
Here’s more Full Moon News from Rosemary:
Moon Message
“Be at peace with yourself and the process of your unfolding. You are a member of the team that is responsible for the unfolding Cosmic Plan and you know who you are to be so that everything can unfold as it is meant to develop. Tune into your Inner Wisdom and be led by what you know about yourself. Turn off the voices of others and listen to that voice inside that really KNOWS you. Be who you really are.”
Moon News
Happy Full Moon! The Full Moon happens on Thursday, March 5 at 1:05 pm Eastern Standard Time. At this time, the Moon is in Virgo and the Sun is in Pisces, opposite to the Moon. The Full Moon is the time in the Moon’s cycle where the Moon reflects the most light to the Earth from the Sun.
Crystals love to be bathed in the light of the Full Moon. Put your crystals out where the Moon can shine on them. (Or, in the case of those of us in the grip of winter, out in the snow or inside where the Moon’s energy can enter through the window!)
Bathe yourself in this Full Moon energy, too, by visualizing yourself drenched in Moonlight, if you can’t actually sit outside on the night of the Full Moon.
This is a time to let go, to release. From the day of the Full Moon until the New Moon the Moon is getting smaller in the sky, or waning. As the Moon appears to diminish, because it is reflecting less of the Sun’s light, we are invited to let go of old energy, thoughts, beliefs about ourselves and the way the Universe actually works.
Take out your beliefs and examine them under the light of this Full Moon. Do they serve the person you are becoming? Are they leftover from an earlier time that doesn’t fit with today?
What have you been thinking about doing that is blocked in some way by hidden or unconscious blocks? You might need some help to uncover these but now is a great time to let go of those blocks, release anything that is holding you back from expressing your excellence.
Get rid of ‘stuff,’ too. Clean out your closet. Give away clothes that don’t make you feel great when you wear them. (I am collecting clothes for the Light of Truth Center clothing sale so let me know if you would like to donate what you are clearing out!)
Do a ritual and meditation around letting go. Now is the time to do it!
ROSEMARY’S INSPIRATION: Happy Lunar New Year!
In China and other parts of Asia the Lunar New Year is celebrated for two weeks, from New Moon to Full Moon. We have a Full Moon coming up on Thursday, March 5, so until then we are still celebrating!
