ROSEMARY’S NEWS
The Veil Nebula Supernova Remnant
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled in stunning detail a small section of the expanding remains of a massive star that exploded about 8,000 years ago.
“Look for the Light – in yourself and in others. You will find what you seek.”
What will you ask into your life now that can grow while the Moon grows in the sky? How will you be new?
The Sun, that other big light in the sky, is entering the sign of Scorpio on October 23 – the sign of Transformation. Many of my clients and friends are going through major transformation since the Eclipse – are you? Things are being shaken up, new ideas are appearing, collaboration, business shifts, change.
It is time to step up and assess where we have been and where we are headed. To assist you, I am offering theMeta*Physical Checkup Workshop on Saturday, November 21, in Annapolis, Maryland. I hope you can join us in person,10:00 am to 1:00 pm. If you can’t, and there is enough interest, we’ll be broadcasting the event so that you can join us from afar! Are you ready to look at all four of your energy bodies –Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical – and look at how to balance your bodies so that you can leap forward into Living Your Richest Life™?
Now is the time to find balance before the holiday season is upon us! You’ll learn tools and techniques for clearing what holds you back and how to get into (and stay in) balance. Plus, it will be fun! Please join us. Here is more info and the opportunity to register: Workshop LINK
It’s almost time for the Celtic New Year – there will be more about this in the next MoonLetter. This feast is Halloween/All Saints Day/All Souls Day in our calendar – October 31, November 1 & 2. This is when the veil between the worlds is said to be the thinnest. Is there someone you have been missing who has crossed over to The Other Side? Would you like to get a message from your angels, spirit guides, loved ones? Join us on Sunday evening, November 1 at 7:00 pm Eastern STANDARD Time (turn your clocks back!) in Annapolis or online for the Conversation with The Other Side, another fun and educational event.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Work Toward Wisdom, Not Just Learning
Work Toward Wisdom, Not Just Learning
The Dimensions of Learning are not the same as the Dimensions of Wisdom. With Learning comes Wisdom but the goal of Human Evolution of Consciousness is to access the Wisdom of the Universe without all the painful lessons through which most human beings must pass.
The human realm is an educational realm. The human lifetime is spent learning lesson after lesson and, it is to be hoped, gaining wisdom with each lesson learned.
Not every human being, however, is successful in this endeavor, for many choose to use every lesson as an opportunity to reinforce what they already believe to be true and, thus, they close themselves off from the opportunity to learn something new.
When one learns something new it can challenge one’s deeply held beliefs, or what one wants to believe is true. It is, therefore, easier for some to discard or deny the new truth so that they can cling to the old belief. These people cannot gain in wisdom and will not ascend in Consciousness.
Those, however, who seek Wisdom and see every learning experience as an opportunity to gain access to further Wisdom are ascending to the Dimension of Wisdom and are contributing to the Evolution of Human Consciousness.
Are you ascending? Are you learning to access the Dimension of Wisdom or are you continually encountering the same lesson over and over again?
Experience is not Wisdom.
Education is not Wisdom.
Information and Knowledge are not Wisdom.
Wisdom is the transcendent understanding of the deepest truths of the Cosmos.
Wisdom, when accessed by one who is ascending in the Evolution of Human Consciousness, informs one’s human life and cannot be denied or ignored.
One can only learn that which one is ready to learn. The Wisdom of the Cosmos is unchanging truth that is not incrementally or temporarily true. One can be highly educated on Earth and yet have little access to Wisdom, just as one can access many levels of Wisdom without Earthly education.
Do not make the mistake that an educated person is sharing the Wisdom of the Cosmos. You will know when a person is accessing the Dimension of Wisdom when a part of your Being, your Soul Essence, resonates with the Wisdom being presented even when your personality, on the human level, is resistant because your beliefs are being challenged.
Trust the stirrings of your Soul when you are being invited into the Dimension of Wisdom. The invitation is a Call to Ascend. With each step in this direction you contribute to the Evolutionary Journey of Human Consciousness.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Learn Something New Today!
Where do you go for information? Or are you not curious about learning something new?
I sometimes lament the fact that I don’t have enough life left in which to learn and to master all that I want to learn and master. So many books to read! (My preferred way to learn and explore) There are classes to take, webinars to join, documentaries to watch, people to meet and talk with, topics to research.
And where can I get information that I trust?
I have discovered that there is a lot of wisdom to be gained through meditation. My guides give me lots of answers. They also lead me to sources where answers can be found. I trust their guidance.
Trust is key. Do you trust your sources? Do you trust your inner guidance? Or do you place your trust in one source other than yourself and choose not to do further research on your own?
There is nothing wrong with having a trusted source of information. I wouldn’t be teaching classes, whether on dowsing or hypnosis or essential oils, if I didn’t believe in what I am sharing. And, yet, I invite students to explore topics on their own. Do research. Compare different sources. Read a bunch of books on a topic. Talk to people you trust about their views/experiences/knowledge.
And check inside to see how you feel about what you are encountering. Does it resonate for you? Another person’s truth may not be truth for you.
This is especially true in the realm of spirituality. What someone else believes may be truth for them at that moment but it might not fit for you. Have you changed your beliefs in your lifetime?
Of course you have! Didn’t you, at one time, think the Tooth Fairy came and exchanged money for a tooth under your pillow? And didn’t Santa Claus bring your toys at Christmas?
What about that belief that you couldn’t do something? Until you tried it and succeeded?
And how about that belief that ‘nobody likes me’ that we all felt at some point, as a child or even in adulthood. Well, I like you now!
What we believe can change. What we know today can be modified with the next moment’s input.
You are never too old to learn something new – about life, about the world, about yourself. Are you exploring? Are you curious? Are you asking questions?
When I worked on the Hubble Space Telescope we had to be open to what was revealed to us. Many theories were confirmed. Others were contradicted. We continue to learn about the Cosmos from the discoveries that our space exploration is bringing to us.
NASA has just released pictures of Pluto from close up, after almost a decade of traveling to get those pictures. What will be revealed? How exciting it is that something new is coming to us to learn!
In personal life, what we don’t know we don’t know can trip us up! If you think you know everything you need to know, you will stop growing, stop evolving. Keep asking questions. Keep exploring yourself and the world around you.
Learn something new TODAY!

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. The details are all here [LINK] and I would be happy to answer any questions you have about the benefits of joining this great group of people as we create plans to Live Your Richest Life™. 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.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Here’s the thing…
Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given moment.
This is my mantra. I remind myself of this often.
At first it was a bit difficult to embrace. I kept coming up with caveats, exclusions, reasons why this didn’t apply to someone or some situation. It never occurred to me that this also applied to ME – I was focused on forgiving others.
But the more I worked with this concept, the more I embraced it as a way to live, well, the more I came to believe that this is true for EVERYONE, including ME.
So what does it mean to totally and whole-heartedly embrace this idea? What resistance is showing up in you as I invite you to consider this?
Can you, as I did, come up with a list of exclusions to this, people that this couldn’t possibly apply to? Mass murderers? Abusers? That person who cut you off in traffic today or stole your parking place? Your parent? Your spouse? Your neighbor?
Think about this: do you think that any soul comes into this lifetime wanting to hurt other people as its purpose? What spirit wants to be the ‘bad guy’?
People look around at their options and choose one to act upon. You do this, too. Sometimes people are influenced by others to the point that their view is narrowed to only one option. You, from the outside, might see that they had lots of other choices. But, inside their situation, with the information that they had or the influence that they experienced, they did what they thought they must.
Look back over the decisions that you have made in your life. Do you tend to count up all the ‘mistakes’ you have made? Do you think of the ‘wrong decisions’ you have chosen?
What if I now say that, if you were to go back to that point in your timeline, you would make the same choice that you made then because of the information (resources) that you had available in that moment? If you went back knowing what you know now, you would be taking some extra resources with you, wouldn’t you? The knowledge that came from the feedback you received after that decision. BUT you didn’t have that information when you were making the choice you made.
Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given moment.
Imagine how you might feel if you look at your ex-spouse, your boss, your friend, the person who cut you off in traffic through the lens of this mantra. There is probably a story behind each situation that you don’t know and that story defines the resources that that other person had available to them at the time.
Now look at yourself and your life. Your story defined the possibilities for action that you were able to see at any given moment. It might never have occurred to you that you had more options because you believed that if you chose to do X, then Y would happen. Immediately after you made the choice, you might have received more information but you didn’t have it before you made the choice. Can you forgive yourself now?
Here’s the thing.
You are always at choice. So is everyone else. And you can only choose among the options that you see before you, based on the information that you have, or think your have, in your reality at the time you make the choice.
Everyone is doing the best they can with the resources they have at any given moment, including you.
Learn and grow and keep making choices. Also, keep looking for possibilities that maybe you can’t see yet but someone else can help you to see. Increase your resources and you increase your choices.
You are, and always have been, doing the best you could.

ROSEMARY’S EXPLORATION: Thanksgiving Transformation
A little something different from Rosmary for this week. A poem for you!
BUTTERFLY
A butterfly flits back and forth
Then back and forth again
Before my face
And perches gracefully on the grass at my feet.
It says, “I am the symbol of change. Accept me.”
“That’s funny,” I think.
I had just been thinking about what the future would bring.
Another butterfly, smaller than the first,
Flits by my face and settles on the grass at my feet.
“After each change comes the next one,” she says.
“Nothing is static. Nothing stays the same. The only constant is change.”
“OK, I get it,” I think.
A squirrel joins us, posing on the fence post to look at me and says, “Prepare.”
Now I’m wondering if all of Nature is conspiring to get a message to me.
Have I wondered overlong about the future and forgotten to be fully present in this moment now?
Am I somehow blocking the changes to come by not preparing today for whatever tomorrow brings because I refuse to focus on today?
Am I lost in concern for a moment that hasn’t happened yet while missing the gift of the moment at hand?
I start to walk back into the house
And the third butterfly appears, identical in markings to the other two but tinier than they.
She says to me,
“It is not mere change that we represent.
It is TRANSFORMATION.
Right now, right here, IN YOU.
Be blessed and IN-JOY.”
I get the message.

Evolve Your Light – Richard’s Commentary
As I was writing my Morning Pages the other day it came to me that I want to go deeper with Qigong. Why? I had raked leaves the day before and loaded 15 bags from the front yard – heavy work. As the evening descended my muscles and joints began to remind me that I am older than I think. But I did some breathing and reminded my body that I practice Qigong; all the twisting and pulling motions of raking leaves is not unlike certain Qigong moves I make in practice. In fact I was very mindful of these motions as I raked.
Last year when I raked leaves from that front yard I ended up with stiff muscles in my back for a week afterward. This year I woke up the morning after and felt great. So, I raked more leaves ahead of the East Coast storm we enjoyed yesterday. There is no question in my mind that my body practices are keeping me younger in body than my age in years would indicate.
My plan is to Evolve My Light, or I could say “Evolve My Qi” and take further steps down this path of growth. Why? Here’s how Rosemary answers this question:
Now, at whatever your current age is, those souls are looking to you for your light to shine on the path that you are sharing. How do you shine your light? By living your soul’s purpose, by being the light that you already are.
“Those souls” are everyone in my community. They include you, dear reader. My “soul’s purpose” is to build community. And my approach is to build community around Qigong. Qi is Life Force; it is Light; it is Love. By continuing to go deeper with my Qigong practice I am answering the call that Rosemary reminds us we are here to do.
I am reading some excellent books on Qigong and Taiji. And I am putting the word out I am looking for deeper instruction. At this time I am between classes that I have been teaching because I am feeling this call to go deeper before developing my next series of classes. Naturally I always learn more by teaching as well; a new class will be offered early in the New Year.
What form does your light take? How are you “Evolving Your Light”? This is the most important question you can ask yourself! Why?
YOU are in charge of the development and evolution of your own consciousness. No one around you can do it for you. You were not born to find answers and then stagnate. You are here to learn the next thing, to study, to grow, to evolve.
Never stop. There is no end here, no bottom to the deeper!
I am grateful to Rosemary for this important reminder! Enjoy your “gratitude day” today as we celebrate Thanksgiving here in the US.
