Eyes to the sky this week to see the super-rare Perigee Blue Moon

Aug 28 2023

We haven’t seen a Full Moon like this one in over 27 years, and we won’t see another one until the 22nd century!

2023 has a “bonus” Full Moon and it rises on the night of August 30-31.

In any given calendar year, there are typically 12 Full Moons — one occurring in each month. Every once in awhile, though, due to the exact timing of when the Full Moons occur, we get an extra one. That means we have a total of 13 Full Moons for the year, one during each of 11 months, and one month with two.

Since we only have 12 popular names for the Full Moons, the extra one goes nameless. Thus we call it a Blue Moon.

Venus is RETRO!! until Sept 4th, 2023 Mercury goes Retro Aug 23rd to Sept 15th 2023 NEW MOON Today August 16th v/c in LEO

HEY NOW, as Al Manning would say, “ILLIGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM”, which was his pet phony Latin Phrase for “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.” One way to transcend is to have fun! Another is TUNE INTO THE BEAUTY OF NATURE!! Al Manning in his light course said, “We all remember the legend of the “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.” That’s a gross understatement! The secrets of life itself are wrapped up in that rainbow. Today we tune into GREEN AS THE MIDDLE COLOR OF THE RAINBOW– THE POINT OF BALANCE AND PEACE.

PLOD THROUGH IT! STAY THE COURSE!!

By Sami MERLYN, DD

HEY NOW, as Al Manning would say, illigitimi non carborundum, which was his pet phony Latin Phrase for “Don’t let the bastards grind you down.” As I write this, VENUS is Retrograde… and the good news is we are plodding through it and since it went Retro July 22nd, we are making our way through these challenging times! Venus Retro only happens every year and a half, and since the goddess of LOVE affects all life, for her to go on vacation for six weeks is challenging. The tendency is for folks to be dissatisfied, emotional and want a change. The admonition is to “stay the course” and not make major changes.

Spring is here! Summer is near!

PEACE, POWER, PROTECTION NOW

PERSEVERE as we plod through it!

By Sami MERLYN, DD

Wow—it has been some challenging times for us folks on planet earth with economic, health, and political challenges. We have all been impacted. Of course, we want to do our best to limit the negative energy from harming us personally and minimize its influences. Time to continue putting on “the whole armor of God.” Transcend it all as we count our blessings and TURN TO THE LIGHT!!

Let us stay on our spiral of growth as we meditate, pray, affirm and keep our auras and chakras bright with light! Let’s tune in! Let’s hold positive constructive thoughts to transcend any pain or suffering we might experience—as we accept Good Fortune as our law of life!

Spiritual Science & ESP LAB SPRING 2023

Mercury turned Retrograde yesterday on April 21st and until May 14th, 2023. Remember the 5 P’s of Mercury Retrograde: Planning, Patience, Perseverance, Pruning and Plod through it.

My personal Mercury Retro Survival Plan:

1) don’t panic.

2) say less not more.

3) stay in your spiritual center.

4) be patient with all communications.

5) prune all unnecessary activity – especially travel plans and new projects.

6) avoid new purchases – especially computers, automobiles, and electronic devices. 7) know that this aspect has a beginning, a middle, and an end… keep plodding through it, with PERSEVERANCE.

8) don’t quit your job, change your friends, or your location – save this for better times.

As many of us get through the challenges of extreme winter weather, Al Manning would say, “this too shall pass.” It is important to stay positive and forward thinking. Al knew that Life is Change. Now, for those of us in the North American continent, Spring is just around the corner. Let us welcome the pending Spring into our hearts and minds and then, before you know it, Spring with all its glory of renewal and rebirth returns.

Recently I received a copy of the book, THE I-CHING, which is also known as THE BOOK OF CHANGES. Some fifty years or so ago, I became exposed to its teachings, which offer oracles and ethical teachings since the dawn of time.

This is one person’s true experience with the Healing Power of God, through his Divine Arch-Angel of Healing RAPHAEL. The name Raphael in Hebrew means “God has healed. God is healing!!”

Raphael, in the Bible, one of the archangels. In the apocryphal Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) Book of Tobit, he is the one who, in human disguise and under the name of Azarias (“Yahweh helps”), accompanied Tobias in his adventurous journey and conquered the demon Asmodeus. He is said (Tobit 12:15) to be “one of the seven holy angels [archangels] who present the prayers of the saints and enter into the presence of the glory of the Holy One.” In the pseudepigraphal First Book of Enoch, Raphael is “the angel of the spirits of men,” and it is his business to “heal the earth which the angels [i.e.,

What Is the Lunar New Year?

Lunar New Year (also known as Chinese New Year) happens this year on Sunday, January 22, 2023. Why does the Lunar New Year start at a different time each year? How is this important holiday celebrated? What does the Year of the Rabbit symbolize? Learn all about this holiday!

When Is Lunar New Year?

Lunar New Year begins on the date (in East Asia) of the second new Moon after the winter solstice, which always takes place in late December. This means that the first day of the Lunar New Year can occur anytime between January 21 and February 20.

In 2023, this new Moon occurs in China on Sunday, January 22, marking the start of a new lunar year.

Winter is here! Mercury turned Direct January 18th 2023 New Moon is on Jan 21, 2023

Mercury is now Direct. Moon is new on January 21st. Chinese New Year is pending… Spring is on the way… It is Time to begin again!!

Al Manning, founder of the ESP LAB, used to say, “What’s new? Me! I am always new and exciting.” This dovetails with an affirmation from Dr. Al Fann, the actor who ran the Institute for Higher Mind—which was down the street from the ESP Lab in Hollywood when I lived there in the late 1970’s. Al Fann would say, “I am unique, wonderful and extremely exciting!” Point is, that these positive attitudes can lead you to a better day and a more successful life.

Winter is here! Mercury turned Retrograde Dec 29th, 2022 FULL MOON in Cancer, Jan 06, 2023

I am happy to say that despite whatever challenges, the ESP LAB and I made it through the past year! Huzzah! Huzzah. It was a year of the tiger which some say is a vicious year. 2023 is the year of the Water Rabbit, which starts on the Chinese New Moon of January 22nd, 2023 (Chinese New Year), and ending on February 9th, 2024 (Chinese New Year’s Eve). The softer sign of the bunny is a symbol of peace, prosperity, and longevity… along with fertility. Let it be a better year for all of us. 2023 is predicted to be a year of hope.
