I am a brilliant brunette with a dual personality, for my Ruler lets me know.

I make an adequate living as a banker and dress conservatively as society expects.

But my ideal lifestyle is to be "mom", the best "mom".

So the responsibility of trying to please everyone is the dragon part within me and yet to keep everything neat and orderly gives me a sense of calm and peace.

My reward in this path is when my family appreciates me.

The Magician part of me has transformed this reserved banker into a healer.

Heal myself, heal my family, and heal the world, one person at a time.

To make my dreams come true is about manifesting.

Allowing, affirming and then it comes.

It may come as a feeling, a desire to move in some way, an inner sense of voice or vision.

If you think it – it will come!!!

For the Sage personality, it is about attaining knowledge.

The growth of wisdom.

Discernment is part of wisdom.

To take in information; sort out the truth; that is right for me.

This impact will affect others in my life, for when I have the courage to share my knowledge, we all benefit.

Be in alignment with spirit and information will flow.

You  ask "How do I do that?"

Be with others of the same mind and meditate daily.

The Fool.

My favorite saying:  "laugh uncontrollably!"  It clears the mind.

The sense of aliveness and the "self" is realized.

Life is meant to be good!

Giggle, dance when you are alone, feel the liberation.


               My Journey
                by
                   Jacqueline Self MH

There once was a woman named Amdraya
Who dreamt of traveling to Australia
But first she had to find peace
And conquer the chaos within.

In time she realized that it was her task alone
To take responsibility for this life of her own
So she learned and developed a few life skills
That gave her the strength to try on her crown.

Chronic fatigue and listlessness day in and day out
Left Andraya depressed and too tired to shout
One day she realized a big change was needed
And began searching for help although full of doubt.

With confusion and will she searched for the truth
That would set her free and feeling aloof
She discovered a lady of great wisdom and light
Who walked in clarity and lived by her truth.

Andraya is now finding the joy and the pleasure
That she let slip by her in great measure
She is now learning to trust in the process of life
Thanks to Shirley and her school for this great treasure.

She gives thanks to all who walked with her
And comforted her through the tears
Especially her magnificent teacher
Who accepted her and understood her through six years.

P.S. She decided on England not Australia.

My Spiritual Archetypes
Ruler, Sage, Magician, Fool
by
Catherine Carter MH

As I walk this path I step into my kingdom of life
My mind says, Stay harmonious and be prosperous"
But do I listen? No, not always.

If only I can stay in control, but yet that chaos reigns
The shadow is all that I see.
I keep going in circles, "Why?" I ask myself.

Because I want to conquer my fear
Instead of living and balancing it.
That is the key, yes, that's it,
Use my fear, be aware, and stay focused.

It is so hard, I don't want to look at all that I have created.
I shut my eyes, now open them, I say, look, be aware and know
this is what I have done. Yes, yes, I see I can create my future.

And so I stand in all my sovereignty
I take all responsibility for my life
And I know I RULE with confidence.

But taking responsibility for my life
Can leave my wounds,
I am left empty,
I must change my thinking to heal and transform reality.
But, how?

I see it, do you see the shadow,
the evil sorcery? I see it too!
And I let it take possession,
I am acting out in hostile and harmful ways,
Screaming, forcing my will on everyone and everything
even though it does not make sense.

STOP, stop, I say,
Do you not see
The evil turned into negative energy.
Now, I can see and I can transform it to positive.

Breathe, that's it, another breath.
And so with each breath,
I see myself in the expanse of the cosmos,
And so I am healed and healing continually.

It has built and it expands,
It bursts out from within me, out into the world.
I, the MAGICIAN, am all personal power.

Personal power does not mean
I do not need to control or change the world
Hmmmmm, perhaps
I only need to understand it.

Yet, I deceive myself, for all I see is
deception and illusion in everything and everyone.
Can I believe what I hear and read?
With this I live in fear.

And the book is thrown.
Sometimes I try to dodge it, not often,
For this is knowledge.

And with this I study and observe.
In attainment of knowledge, wisdom and
Enlightenment, it lifts the fog that deception and
Illusion has created around me. 

Now, I question
With wisdom, skepticism and nonattachment,
the SAGE is all that I am.

Even though I question, I can still do this with
Enjoyment, pleasure and aliveness,
For this is my goal.

Ah, but I feel so not alive,
That is the fear.
Oh, what a vicious cycle I have created.

Well then, I will take it out,
I will play with it and or play tricks on it.
Yes, I will do the unexpected.

And so I trust in my process.
Enjoyment of the journey for its own sake
Will only lead to feeling alive.

At last, joy, freedom, and liberation.
Do you feel it?
It makes you feel so alive the FOOL that I am.

I have Returned- Become Free
I am Ruler, Magician, Sage, and Fool.
