The Sleeping Beauty

By Marita Garay

Wake up! "Sleeping Beauty"

Your time has already gone.

A long time ago,

A precious treasure box

Was hidden in your heart,

Don't remember that?

Before you decided to be a living being,

They were jealous to you...

There are thirteen assignments for you.

You must get up and go to work now!

Find it within yourself!

Your life depends on this duty,

So move on and be bold,

Don't be scared my son.

I always keep an eye on you,

I always believe in you,

I always wait for you,

Don't disappoint me, son.

That's good! Exploring your heart, huh?

You made the right steps,

I can see them!

Can you feel the vibration in there?

Take them out, one by one...

They need: light, reinforcement,

And power from your soul;

Keep going... I know you will succeed!

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF,

MAINTAIN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE,

BRING THE BEST TO YOU FROM THIS LIFE,

SHARE YOUR PURE FEELINGS WITH OTHERS,

GIVE A GOOD EXAMPLE OF YOURSELF,

MAKE A PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT AROUND YOU,

RESPECT OTHER'S CHOICES,

RESPECT NATURE,

MEDITATE ALWAYS,

REMIND YOURSELF, YOU ARE PART OF ME,

BE CONNECTED TO YOUR INNER STRENGTH,

SUPPORT YOUR HIGHEST IDEAL OF UNITY,

ACCEPT YOUR MISTAKES BECAUSE THIS PLANET IS YOUR SCHOOL.

ARE YOU READY FOR YOUR JOURNEY?

GOOD BOY...

Entering the Castle

Caroline Myss

Entering the Castle is designed to lead the reader into a deeper dimension, i.e. mysticism. According to Myss, mystics without monasteries ask themselves three questions:

(1) For what reason was I born?
(2) What is the greater purpose and meaning of my life?
(3) How am I meant to be of service?

Your soul as Castle is a mystical sanctuary into which you can retreat whenever you need to gather your strength, clear your mind of debris, or regain your footing. It is an inner sanctum in which you can gain access to grace and sublime guidance." Self-examination, prayer, and contemplation are devotional tools that offer the best access to the soul. Myss describes seven mansions and guides us through the lessons in room after room:

The First Mansion: the power of prayer, humility, chaos, and divine seduction;
The Second Mansion: God in the details, inner vision, soul companions, commitment to God;
The Third Mansion: surrender, the defeat of reason, the desert;
The Fourth Mansion: the mystical heart, receiving God, the prayer of recollection;
The Fifth Mansion: dissolving into holiness, mystical experiences, mystical marriage;
The Sixth Mansion: essential wisdom and the final fire, room of gifts, meaning in suffering;

The Seventh Mansion: divine marriage, healing, and reentering the world.

Joan of Arc

by Leonard Cohen

Now the flames they followed joan of arc
As she came riding through the dark;
No moon to keep her armour bright,
No man to get her through this very smoky night.
She said, I’m tired of the war,
I want the kind of work I had before,
A wedding dress or something white
To wear upon my swollen appetite.

Well, I’m glad to hear you talk this way,
You know I’ve watched you riding every day
And something in me yearns to win
Such a cold and lonesome heroine.
And who are you? she sternly spoke
To the one beneath the smoke.
Why, I’m fire, he replied,
And I love your solitude, I love your pride.

Then fire, make your body cold,
I’m going to give you mine to hold,
Saying this she climbed inside
To be his one, to be his only bride.
And deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of joan of arc,
And high above the wedding guests
He hung the ashes of her wedding dress.

It was deep into his fiery heart
He took the dust of joan of arc,
And then she clearly understood
If he was fire, oh then she must be wood.
I saw her wince, I saw her cry,
I saw the glory in her eye.
Myself I long for love and light,
But must it come so cruel, and oh so bright?

ALL SOULS NIGHT

Words and music by Loreena McKennitt

Bonfires dot the rolling hills
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
Moving to the pagan sound.

Somewhere in a hidden memory
Images float before my eyes
Of fragrant nights of straw and of bonfires
And dancing till the next sunrise.

CHORUS
I can see lights in the distance
Trembling in the dark cloak of night
Candles and lanterns are dancing, dancing
A waltz on All Souls Night.

Figures of cornstalks bend in the shadows
Held up tall as the flames leap high
The green knight holds the holly bush
To mark where the old year passes by.

CHORUS

Bonfires dot the rolling hillsides
Figures dance around and around
To drums that pulse out echoes of darkness
And moving to the pagan sound.

Standing on the bridge that crosses
The river that goes out to the sea
The wind is full of a thousand voices
They pass by the bridge and me

	Marita Garaywrote: Following forward The warrior of light does not always have faith. Hay momentos en los que no cree absolutamente en nada. There are moments in which absolutely does not believe in anything. Y pregunta a su corazón: "¿Valdrá la pena tanto esfuerzo?" And ask your heart, "worth so much effort?" Entonces busca un ejemplo. Then look for an example. Y recuerda que Jesús pasó por algo semejante - para poder vivir la condición humana en toda su plenitud. And remember that Jesus went through something similar - to live the human condition in all its fullness. "Aleja de mí este cáliz", dijo Jesús. "This cup away from me," said Jesus. También Él perdió el ánimo y el valor, pero no se detuvo. He also lost the spirit and courage, but not stopped. El guerrero de la luz continúa sin fe. The Warrior of Light without faith. Pero, aún así, sigue adelante, y la fe termina volviendo. But even so, go ahead, and ends up becoming the faith. Dec. 1
	Marita Garaywrote: The best and worst A poet said: "the warrior of the light chooses his enemies" El guerrero sabe de lo que es capaz. No necesita ir por el mundo contando sus cualidades y virtudes. Sin embargo - como en el viejo Oeste - a cada momento aparece alguien queriendo probar que es mejor que él. The warrior knows what he is capable of. You do not need to go through the world counting their qualities and virtues. But - as in the old West - to appear every time someone wants to prove that it is better than him. Pero ciertas personas insisten. But some people insist. Provocan, ofenden, hacen todo lo posible para irritarlo. Provoke, offend, do everything possible to irritate. En este momento el corazón del guerrero le dice "no aceptes las ofensas, ellas no aumentarán tu habilidad. Te cansarás en vano". At the moment the heart of a warrior he said "not accept the offenses, they do not increase your skill. You get tired in vain." Un guerrero de la luz no pierde su tiempo escuchando provocaciones, él tiene un destino a cumplir. A warrior of light does not waste his time listening to provocations, he has a destiny to fulfill.

	Marita Garaywrote: What passenger and final All roads leading to the heart of the world's warrior, he plunges unhesitatingly into the river of passions that always runs for his life. Acepta sus pasiones y las disfruta intensamente. Accepts his passions and enjoys intensely. Sabe que no es preciso renunciar al entusiasmo de las conquistas; ellas forman parte de la vida, y alegran a todos los que en ellas participan. He knows that there is no need to renounce the enthusiasm of conquests, they are part of life and cheer to all who participate in them. Pero jamás pierde de vista las cosas duraderas y los lazos creados con solidez a través del tiempo. But never loses sight of things and lasting ties established with strength over time. Un guerrero sabe distinguir lo que es pasajero y lo que es definitivo. A distinguishing fighter knows what it is and what the passenger is final. Dec. 1
	Marita Garaywrote: When Risk A warrior of light, before going into an important battle, he wondered to himself: "how far I developed my skill?". Él sabe que las batallas libradas en el pasado siempre terminaron por enseñarle alguna cosa. Sin embargo, muchas de estas enseñanzas hicieron sufrir al guerrero más de lo necesario. He knows that the battles in the past always ended up teaching something. But many of these lessons were subjected to the warrior than necessary. Pero los victoriosos no repiten el mismo error. But the victory did not repeat the same mistake. Un guerrero no puede rehusar la lucha; pero sabe también que no debe arriesgar sentimientos importantes a cambio de recompensas que no están a la altura de su amor. A warrior can not refuse to fight, but also knows that feelings should not be risking a significant change of rewards that fall short of their love. Por eso el guerrero solo arriesga su corazón por algo que vale la pena. That is why the warrior only risks his heart for something worthwhile. Dec. 1
	Marita Garaywrote: Using one's own madness A warrior of light studied very carefully the position that seeks to conquer. Pero, a medida que avanza, el guerrero se da cuenta de que existen dificultades con las que no contaba. But as it progresses, the warrior realizes that there are difficulties that did not. Si se queda esperando el momento ideal, nunca saldrá del lugar; ve que será preciso un poco de locura para dar el próximo paso. If it is waiting for the moment, never leave the place, it will be necessary to go a little crazy to take the next step. El guerrero usa un poco de locura. Porque, en la guerra y en el amor, no es posible prever todo. The warrior uses a bit of madness. Because, in war and love, it is not possible to anticipate everything. Dec. 1
