Acknowledgments
T FIRST I WAS HESITANT to start this journey of creation thinking that I was unworthy and knowing that my sincerest expressions would certainly contain hundreds of mistakes. But then an unexplainable courage arose in me. I decided to throw my concerns to the wind and bring what I was dreaming into the world, thus giving birth to their fullness of beauty, blemishes and all.
Once I found my hearts orientation I was fine letting it guide this creation. And once I saw what it was able to do I let its freedom reign.
Many thanks to Ann Klein for her fine editing of this work and all who have contributed to making Stories for Transformation possible. It really was born with many blemishes and I thank everyone for sharing their unique abilities, energies and care. I am deeply grateful to my spiritual family: Sollena K. Morginn, Charity Parker, Dr. Paul & Robin Burgert, Ann Klein, Dr. Thynn Thynn, Dr. Fern Kazlow, Laurel Mellin and my ever-present counselors and guides: the benevolent souls from the Family of Light. They are intimately connected to all beautiful and noble creations that manifest through me and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. Their spirits, wisdom, inspiration and love are woven into the words and art that compose this book. ~ Teka Luttrell

Introduction
tories for Transformation is a collection of short stories that form a safe, incredibly simple, user-friendly tool for personal transformation. By simply reading our stories, a persons energy is influenced through the exchange of subtle energies between the holographic worlds of the stories and the vibrating heart and mind of the reader. This program is a unique adventure into the exciting new realms of personal mythology, sacred positive psychology and mirror neurons. It brings forth the natural abilities of the soul to transform, navigate and create inner reality. These transformational stories are designed to gently expand the readers internal imagery, feelings and beliefs in highly positive and benevolent directions. This process reveals and unlocks the orchestrated fields of awareness that are native to the soul as it pulses into creation from the quantum center of the Universe ... through your own quiet center of stillness, within. The simple purpose behind this project is to help the reader shift to more harmonious states of being. Such intimate, often outwardly-invisible transformations are significant achievements for any individual. They are also the necessary forerunners to providing a sheltered womb for the incubation of a grand and precious dream ... a dream of wholeness so profound that it transcends our present life and this world. Encoded within these stories is the essence of a remarkable vision not only of you, dear Reader, but of humanitys future as well.

Personal journeys to the Foundations of Harmony The stories in this project serve as energetic maps to help guide readers as they journey to new theaters of harmonic inner experience. And, you will learn in the pages that follow a persons inner experience is a dynamic and powerful incubator for the experiences unfolding around them in the physical world. The first 5 stories now available the Foundations of Harmony series are designed to help people who feel they are emotionally, psychologically or energetically stuck on certain issues. Each story has an Issues Target (pages 3237) that explains several issues. A story is designed to help the reader become free of the energies that its Issues Target describes. Even though each of our stories are focused on specific issues, immersion with a story casts a wide influence over the energy and holographic make-up within the reader. Engaging with a story consistently for a month, as suggested in the Reading Instructions (page 25) may also assist people who are stuck in feelings and inner spaces that are only slightly related to the central issue that the story is designed to help. Please read Recognizable Results (page 26) to learn about the pace of transformations.

How the stories work
y contemplating the main character in a story and repeatedly considering what they are going through and how they interact with their world, you become energetically entangled with them. If you can relate to the character and form a bond with her, you open a door inside yourself that allows connection to the feelings, intelligence, insights and wisdom that resides in the quantum field address1 that the character is energetically related to. Through empathy and entanglement, on ultra-subtle, invisible levels of your being, you assimilate the patterns of energy that are holographically built into and being transmitted by the character.
New brain imaging from UCLA demonstrates that specialized brain cells, known as mirror neurons, activate when we observe the actions of others and when we simply read sentences describing the same action. When we read a book, these specialized cells respond as if we are actually doing what the book character is doing. 2
You may remember in an essay from the Soul Connection Network website on the principles of Holographic Awareness 3, we discussed how everything is a universe inside a universe with infinite depth. Not only is this true for people, galaxies
~ 12 ~
and grains of sand, but also for our thoughts, dreams and the characters that we have inside us. We live in a giant super-holographic universe. The characters in the Stories for Transformation (SFT) are not exceptions to the holographic rule, as they too are universes in universes with infinite depth. Who do you have within? Whose energy and holographic content are you interacting with? For many of us, the characters that we most often have in our thoughts cannot be accurately described as healthy, balanced individuals. Many of the people that we see in our inner world people in our memories and those that swirl in our feelings have not solved the issues they are facing. They often are not bright, wise, harmonious beings who deeply and truly enjoy life. Many of them have problems and we are energetically entangled with them.
1Quantum Field Address: Everything in existence, both real and imagined, has a unique vibration and all are enfolded into the universal quantum field. Hence, everything has its own vibrational place in the quantum field which is called an address. Each address is a library of the holographic content associated with it. Every individual is tuned-into the quantum field addresses of the things that make-up the reality of their lives, and the holographic content associated with these addresses are continually appearing and disappearing in their thoughts, memories and feelings. The inner theater where one sees and interacts with their thoughts, memories and feelings is called the Personal Inner Hologram. 2 PHYSORG.com: From an article about ground-breaking research of mirror neurons, titled First Evidence Found of Mirror Neurons Role in Language, published Sept. 22, 2006, at: http://www.physorg.com/news78073175.html 3 The Soul Connection Network website: see the two essays on holographic awareness, starting on page http://www.soulconnection.net/holographic_awareness.html

How the Stories work
These characters in our inner world are reflections of others, or are aspects of ourselves. We are struggling with certain ideas, images, feelings, memories and the energy associated with them. In the theater of our mind, we see their faces and physical forms and we hear and feel their problems and arguments being replayed over and over again. As we interact with the main characters that live in our thoughts and feelings, we cant help but feel, absorb and live with the patterns of energy that they share with us. For many people, their inner environments are dominated with a high level of chaos and are populated with beings who are arguing and fighting with one another. Most people do not have heroes and guides in their inner world that are familiar with the metaphysical landscape ... beings who step out of the shadows and shed new and brighter light across the realms of thoughts and memory ... beings who have new stories to tell and who will show you the way to hidden paths that lead to the vast inner universe of harmony. You, dear Reader, may not have known that such good and noble beings exist in your inner world ... until now.
~ 14 ~
They are parts of yourself that can and should be activated, and brought to the forefront of your inner life. The SFT characters are involved in life-changing inner events and their stories end differently than the usual stories that we replay over and over again in our minds Following along with the SFT story lines and contemplating how the characters react to the environments and situations that they find themselves in, builds neural pathways within yourself to new holographic worlds for you to experience. Through the normal functioning of mirror neurons in your brain, the stories project bright inner routes to new territories of harmony that lay off the beaten track of the places you may normally be seeing and experiencing, in your inner world. Contemplating the characters over a period of time, transmits an intuitive intelligence that is part of the makeup of the character. Actually, these characters are aspects of yourself, and they exist in the inner regions that are part of who you are. By contemplating them and their stories, you activate your own inner abilities, intuition and wisdom. The activation of intuitive intelligence is subtle and invisible, and it happens in the most quiet regions of the human spirit. But its activation radiates valuable directional guidance for your energy and focus, as you embark on new journeys to the higher landscapes of your own inner cosmos. And, youll learn in the pages that follow that what a person
~ 15 ~
goes through internally is the crucible of creation for what unfolds around them in the so-called external world. At work & play ... in the quantum field The energetic relationship between the reader and the story is rooted in physics with the knowledge that every human being is an organized system of unseen energy that is forever living in, and vibrating with the universal quantum field. The individual and the quantum field are not separate entities but are intimately connected. In fact, the quantum field is the very essence of being and you can rightly say that we are quantum beings. The primary zone of creative interaction between the individual and the universal quantum field is a persons collage of thoughts and the deepest feelings that one identifies with. A persons core beliefs, the ideas about who and what one thinks she is, and the feelings that swirl around the center of her being form invisible patterns of energy that are the primary creators of personal reality. The energies, thoughts and feelings automatically and constantly interact with the quantum field ... which responds by forming custom-made personal realities for the individual to experience. The popular name for this process is called the creation of personal reality. Up until now, most of us have been taught a point of view that sees the individual as one thing and the universe out there as another. But it is now believed by many scientists,
~ 16 ~
philosophers and spiritual adepts that the so-called external universe that an individual finds oneself surrounded by and interacting with on a personal level is intimately connected to our innermost thoughts, feelings, beliefs, chemistry and unique vibrations. They believe that an individuals inner cosmos attracts the events, relationships, environments and situations that compose the so-called outer universe that is experienced. The inner begets the outer is an ancient observation that is ringing true in the minds of todays most brilliant thinkers. Personal reality is created to a significant degree, from the inside-out. Many are stuck in creating the same personal reality over and over again All would be well if people were using their innermost thoughts and feelings to design happy and healthy lives. But, this is not the case throughout much of the world today as many people have created realities that are out of balance, painful, fragmented and incomplete. They seem to be in a holding pattern in which the same personal reality is being recreated over and over again. On closer inspection, people might realize that their parents, siblings and friends are creating similar realities as their own. From a quantum perspective, they are in the same resonant family and are cooperating in the creation of a group reality. But people outside of their resonant family may be
~ 17 ~
creating personal realities that are completely different ... realities that can be more healthy, whole and satisfying. The difference between the two groups is that each is holding onto different invisible energy patterns within themselves. Each group has a different collage of thoughts, beliefs, feelings, memories and vibrations that they identify with resulting in the creation of widely different personal realities for each group to experience. Each resonant family has a unique story to tell ... and the story is of the experiences that they create and share. Resonant families often support the continual replay and recreation of the experiences that its members have in common. This can be a good thing, of course, if the experiences being recreated are healthy and satisfying. If the experiences are not good for you, and you do not need to recreate them again and again, then you can choose to make

a shift in your energy, thoughts and feelings, and create new experiences in a new personal reality. The stories about you and your life that you carry within yourself are helping to create your current personal reality ... and are setting-up future realities for you to experience In the deepest, most mysterious areas of your being, your energies, feelings, memories and beliefs are woven into holographic expressions that form dreams and stories about yourself. These dreams and stories define who you are, to yourself. Subconsciously moment by moment, day after day, year after year you hold onto these holographic ideas about yourself which radiate their unique patterns of energy into the quantum field. By holding onto their energy, and providing a home for their existence in the depths of your being, your personal reality is constantly being formed in you and around you in the here and now. Again: all is well if the stories about yourself are creating realities that are satisfying and healthy. If not, then Stories for Transformation may be of gentle assistance in expanding your vision so that you may see a more harmonious, unified, mystical and soulful you. In time, the expanded vision of yourself the new story of who and what you are will help create new, meaningful, personal realities for you to experience.

The way that Stories for Transformation works is by slowly and effortlessly influencing your deepest patterns of energy with the harmonic energy and feelings contained in the stories. Over time, deep in your inner world, the stories are absorbed into and change your personal stories. Some of the symbolism, imagery, ideas and feelings of the stories will be adapted and absorbed into your own personal stories. The resulting subtle changes re-configure your vibrational presence in the Universe and will assist you in the creation of more harmonious personal realities.
Teacher: Visualization is not confined to a specific position in the body or head. It can be placed anywhere by projection. Simply project the pictures to the area in the center of your chest. The one who views the projection can be outside of your body watching from a distance of a few meters. Student: Who is watching outside my body ? Teacher: You are.

Symbology & the readers perspective
The type of symbology used in the Stories & the readers perspective
f you were to set up a telescope in your back yard, point it towards a specific group of stars and then look through it. at first, everything would appear blurry. The instrument would not be properly focused or pointed in precisely the right direction. But then, as you carefully adjust the dials and the direction of the scope, you would soon zero-in on the target. Beautiful clarity would flood into your awareness as the stars that have been there all along come into view. The explanation that follows appears only once in this book, and we use the first story The Woman, Castle & Moat, (pages 42~51) to shed light on the type of symbology used in all the stories. May this explanation help you adjust the direction of your own inward-oriented telescope the one that gazes across the cosmos of your thoughts and dreams so that the deeper meanings, purposes and possibilities that have been there all along come into view. Shift your point of view to move to new inner areas of insight and understanding
The Woman, Castle & Moat story is designed to help
people who feel that an external person or a significant external

factor is standing in their way to being healthy and happy. In the center of the storys Issues Target (page 33) it is written: I cannot be well, healthy or happy because of the relationship with my partner. This is the specific issue that the story is designed to help. Therefore, we offer this SUGGESTION TO THE READER: While you are immersed in The Woman, Castle & Moat story, rather than exclusively thinking that your partner or limiting influences are external from you ... you are invited to see:
Main symbols in the story The Woman, Castle & Moat: The reader who selected this as their story, is invited to see themselves as being similar to the woman in the story. The castle that the main character lives in represents the readers mind/body. The symbol for the readers partner or external limiting factor is the moat. In the story, the main character feels trapped by the moat which is external to her and
~ 22 ~
she perceives it as separating her from the resources she needs for her own health and well being. The great natural landscape that stretches out beyond the moat is symbolic for All That Is. It is her connection to All That Is and its resources that hold the key to her healing. IN SUMMARY: As you immerse yourself in The Woman, Castle & Moat story, you may feel that you are like the main character in the story. The presence of your partner or the limiting factor holding you back that you feel internally is like the moat. And, just as the woman resolves her issues through new, profound inner discoveries and realizations, there is a very real possibility that you will follow in her tracks.

Reading Instructions
hese instructions are for those who will be using the stories for purposes of inner transformation ... to assist you in overcoming emotional or psychological issues that block your way to being a more harmonious, happy, integrated, spiritually-centered being one who feels connected to humankind, the Earth and the Universe. The instructions consist of two user-friendly parts:
Thats it. Theres nothing more to do. The main idea is to immerse your heart and mind with a story for a continuous 30-day period.

* The
Holographic Replay Technique
After reading a story, you will see that it has been transposed into a thought-movie inside yourself. The inner movie is holographic in nature and is stored in memory. All or parts of it can be recalled whenever you please. The word replay in the Reading Instructions describe a process in which you deliberately and consciously review the entire story as an inner holographic movie. This is accomplished by deliberately scanning the story in its external form (in print or on the web), page by page and scene by scene. Allow your focused attention to intuitively find key words and sentences in every paragraph that act as catalysts, making the story light-up and replay from start to finish, in all its textures, feelings and details, within yourself. Losing yourself in the story In the Reading Instructions, when we say lose yourself in the story we mean do your best to empathize with the main character . . . use your imagination and a light heart to see yourself as the main character. You are invited to day dream about the story and welcome its imagery, phrases, concepts, energies and feelings to freely appear and disappear in your inner world.

Recognizable results
tories for Transformation are designed to work slowly. They are not made on the fast food template. They are not designed to give the reader instant recognizable results in transforming their mind, their health, their situations, or to immediately change the unfolding events in their lives. The way the stories work is similar to the way a garden grows ... it takes time to mature. The stories are designed to help you stay steady from day to day, and help to assist your inner energy patterns become more balanced and harmonious over time. Hence, the changes that you make will probably be imperceptible for days, weeks, and maybe months. The changes are happening behind the scenes in the inner world of your energy, background thoughts, deep symbolic imagery, feelings, personal stories and beliefs. Recognizable results will probably appear one day through a pleasant realization that you have become more balanced and unified than you were say, last year. When you trace back to where and how the transformation started, you might see

he Stories for Transformation help you determine where you are stuck ... which is your starting point. This is accomplished when you read through the stories and find one or two that you most resonate with. If you easily empathize with a main character and what she or he is going through then that story may be your story. Issues Targets
If you are reading this to assist you in overcoming an emotional or psychological issue, then you might be able to find your stories by scanning through the Issues Target graphics, pages 3237. There is one Issues Target for every story. Each of these graphics shows a cluster of personal issues that relate to the story. When you find phrases in the graphics that resonate with you, then you can read that story to see if it rings true for you. In resonance you will be guided is a timeless spiritual suggestion that you are invited to use to find the stories that will be most helpful in gently moving your heart and mind to more harmonious states of well-being. You will soon see that our stories are different than the personal inner stories that are going through your mind. Each of these stories contains new and different symbols than what you may be engaging with internally ... and certainly, all

our stories have new and better endings than most peoples inner stories. The blank pages following each story are for your notes and drawings You are invited to use this book as a creative workbook. The blank pages following each story can be used for your personal notes and drawings that relate to you and the story that you are reading. Use these pages to record the key words, phrases or sentences that stimulate certain beneficial energies and ideas that may arise within you, or you may draw symbols and icons that carry a special power and significance for you. For those who are using the stories for personal transformation, the Reading Instructions should be faithfully followed The two-part Reading Instructions are exquisitely simple and worth repeating: 1) Find your story and read it at least once. Then, every-other-day for a month, replay the entire story in the theater of your heart.
~ 29 ~
Getting started
2) Lose yourself in the story. Search for meaning, inspirational energies, and understanding. Allow the imagery, characters, and special phrases in the story to have a home in your heart and mind. Become involved in an ongoing, always evolving process that searches for understanding between you and the story. Thats it! Theres nothing more to do. Do not over-analyze the story with the rational part of your mind, thinking that logical foundations are necessary to produce harmonious, profound, energetic transformations, for they are not. It is best to simply enjoy the process. Welcome a good portion of your relationship with the story to remain a mystery so that your mind and energy are allowed to freely dance with its characters and in its landscapes over time. You dont have to try to make the storys conclusion translate into similar situations in your own life. If such a translation happens, then we suggest that you let it happen on its own as a result of how your deepest energies are sitting in and interacting with the universal quantum field. Hence, please dont force change . . . just relax and let the transformations come naturally, on their own and in their own time. You dont have to believe that the story is either true or a fairy tale. Just read your story and become involved with it for a month period! Theres nothing difficult about it.
~ 30 ~
Getting started
Immersion, Understanding + a Light Heart We do suggest that you try to reach for some understanding when reading your story. Ask yourself: Why in the world am I attracted to this particular story? Wonder about the relationship between the story and you. Why is this my story? Where is this taking me? You may feel something is happening in your inner world . . . but you cant quite put your finger on it. Still, try to engage with it searching for meaning and purpose. The process is mysterious and you may never find the answers that you hoped for, but still, jump into it with both feet! With these stories, the process of immersion is the most important thing.
Have a light heart and enjoy the experience.

My life, as rich as it is, is shallow and unfulfilling. My thoughts are dominated by trivia. I know theres more to life than this, but, I dont want or need to go to the ends of the earth to find meaning, purpose wholeness, serenity.
I feel separate from others and the universe. Something inside myself seems to be calling me home to a new state of being.
My mind is driving me crazy. I suffer from obsessive thinking. I am powerless as my mind never rests ... day and night it jumps from thought to thought. Theres always an underlying pressure and stress.
I practice meditation and have a monkey mind. There has to be an easier way to bring calmness to the endless torrent of thoughts.

The Woman, Castle & Moat, pages 42~51 This story is designed to help people who feel that another person or a significant external factor is standing in their way to being healthy and happy. See the Issues Target for this story on page 33. Its symbolism is also discussed in the section: Symbology and the readers perspective, pages 21~23. Child, pages 56~76 This story will help people who are their own worst enemy, and who have tried everything but have not found a way out of their self-involved rut. The reader will be shown a unique way to accept and love themselves at the very core of their being. From that base of love and acceptance springs the same for others . . . for animals, plants, nature, and for the whole universe. Assimilation of this story will help the reader embrace the wholeness of life and sense their destiny. See the Issues Target for this story on page 34.

What she does not have is happiness and health, but she can sense it nearby just on the other side of the moat. The castle does not have a bridge. Every day she sits in her room and looks out across the moat onto a land with sparkling blue skies, meadows, forests, birds, waterfalls and clear paths to follow.

and get the happiness and health I need. This goes on for years and years, and her health and happiness diminish. Shes nearly at her breaking point, and grows very weak. She knows she has to do something to shift out of her current situation, but all she does is wander around the rooms and hallways of the castle she feels so lonely. One day, she realizes that the only thing that she has the power to change at this current moment is her attitude. Maybe by changing my attitude, things will get better in my life she thinks. With this in mind, she musters up the strength to pick her spirit up a bit. She begins moving through the castle with a greater sense of hope, confidence and with a lighter heart. In the flow of this attitude she decides to do a little cleaning up ... Why not use this energy for something useful? She opens the broom closet and sees that its a big mess! So the first thing is to put it in order. As shes rearranging the closet, she discovers a small door in the shadows at the back. Hmmm ... Ive never noticed that before, but it must have been here all along.
~ 44 ~
She opens the door and is surprised that it did not go to a basement as she had thought, but rather to a spiral staircase going up. This is a shock to her, as she had no idea that her castle includes upper levels. She feels a strong current of fear flashing through her body, but the new upbeat attitude that she is experiencing propels her forward with a sense of excitement. She passes through the small, hidden door and looks up to the beautiful, mysterious spiral staircase. As she looks way, way up spiral after spiral after spiral she sees light at the very top. A surge of energy flows through her and she instinctively knows she must ascend the staircase and see what must be a spectacular view! As she climbs the steps, images of the world of happiness on the other side of the moat pass through her mind ... She soon is at the pinnacle of the staircase and steps out into bright warm light. The woman finds herself on a lovely stone patio with a sturdy railing all around. Tears well up in her eyes at the first sight of the gorgeous landscape stretching out before her. From this elevated vantage point she has a spectacular 360 view and can see to the horizon in every direction.
~ 45 ~
The environment she sees is far beyond her wildest dreams and she spends a good hour taking it all in. The woman chuckles to herself that even the moat below, looks OK from this lofty perspective. As she scans the moat which appears black and smooth as glass, reflecting its surroundings like a perfect mirror she sees a little room connected to the castle that is jutting out into the water. This is another surprise to her, as she realizes that there are more areas and levels in this castle that she had no idea existed. Knowing that she can return to this point of view anytime she pleases, she takes off to do more exploring and find the way to get to the room on the moat. As she descends the spiral staircase, she finds herself filled with gratitude as to what has happened on this incredible day. As she spirals down, down, down, she realizes that her current good fortune has unfolded all because she intentionally shifted her attitude earlier in the day. She enters the main area of the castle and then descends into the basement, as she knows that the room on the moat has to be on the lower level, and
~ 46 ~
on the outer edge of the castle. As she enters the basement proper, a feeling of calm confidence flows through her heart. She pauses for a moment and recognizes it to be a feeling and energy that is deeply nourishing to her. She makes a mental note to return to that feeling, even if the so-called moat room turns out to be empty or full of junk. She lights a candle and starts to search for a doorway to the moat room. The woman realizes the strange similarities in that both the doorway to the ascending staircase, and the doorway to the moat room were hidden away from her normal, everyday perspective. She thinks to herself that this is truly a fascinating coincidence. As she slowly makes her way through the damp darkness of the basement, she feels cobwebs clinging to her clothes. Her clothes become dirty with the dust that hangs thickly in the air. But the feelings of hope and determination in her heart coupled with the excitement of exploring new territory make her continue on the journey. After an unexpectedly long time of searching,
~ 47 ~
she finds the doorway. Its a normal-sized door with a large handle. As she reaches out and touches the handle, she feels that it is covered in dust and immediately realizes that the doorway has not been opened in years. The woman turns the handle, opening the door just a crack, and a sliver of light instantly splits the darkness enfolding her. The smell of water pours through on the brilliant rays. She gives the door a little shove and it slowly, silently and gracefully swings open on its own ... As the sight of the room is revealed to the woman, overwhelming feelings well up and she bursts into tears. She cannot believe what shes looking at: Right in front of her, on the other side of the door, is a platform ... a dock. Tied to the dock is a lovely little rowboat with a paddle. The boat is silhouetted against the mirror of the moat. The far side of the room is open so that the boat can come and go freely. The woman soon realizes that as part of the design of the castle, there always has been a way to get across the moat and to the other side. She does not know why both doorways that she
~ 48 ~
found on this remarkable day have been hidden, but she realizes now they are not. She thinks to herself, In the original design of the castle, the doors were not hidden. They were always in use. The doors were a normal part of the castle. But to me, because I had no experience with them, and no one left a map to find them, the doorways were hidden from my point of view. The woman carefully gets into the boat and gracefully rows to the other side of the moat in less than a minute. She is now connected to the greater world. There she finds everything that she needs in infinite abundance soon her health and happiness return. Since she now knows the way to the boat, and the top levels of the castle, the woman is free to go anywhere, anytime she pleases. With the return of health and happiness, she also discovers a new creative part of herself that was hidden and dormant while she was ill and stuck in her castle. She discovers that she has a natural talent to grow gardens and care for plants. As she walks the trails in the beautiful forests and meadows on the other side, she collects seeds and rare flowering
~ 49 ~
plants. She brings them back to the boat and ultimately back home to the castle. She grows the most incredible garden in the center of the castles courtyard using water from the moat the same moat which she perceived as her greatest barrier. It turns out that the moat actually contains all the nutrients her garden needs to grow and flourish.
~ 50 ~
One day, several years later, while standing at the top of the castle overlooking what has become her harmonious reality, she looks out at the world of happiness and health across the moat. She looks down at her garden below which is in the middle of the castles central courtyard. She can see that the plants and the feeling of the garden that she created are a perfect match to the plants and feeling in the world of happiness and health that stretches as far as her eyes can see. Calm, delicious feelings of gratitude flow through her as she knows that she is truly connected with the entire Universe. The woman now clearly senses that everything is unified and whole just as it should be.

iding atop a swaying elephant in a tide of great beasts, is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Sarah. But being in the presence of a truly
magnificent being a person who has all the particles of her existence aligned and flowing in unity and wholeness happens once in a thousand lifetimes. A sovereign being of this nature is riding the elephant just ahead of her, and this is who she has come to see a quiet little girl with the most beautiful chocolate-red skin. The procession is slowly moving eastward through a meadow of lush waist-high grass. The song of crickets and birds fills the air as the first golden rays of sunlight bring a new day to India. This is Sarahs second journey to Asia in three years. She is a much different person than before the first trip. With every breath she takes, Sarah is grateful for the transformation that moved her to this present state of being. On her first trip, she carried the burden of self hate and disconnection that she had known all her life. But quite unexpectedly, the little girl who became her friend during the original trek, passed along a
~ 57 ~

spark of energy and spirit to Sarah that changed everything. The elephants life is one of silent thunder Sarah whispers to herself, marveling at her new ability to spontaneously speak in poetic phrases. She appreciates their gentle stealth, nobility and massive size. They seem to know exactly where to go, while also being intimately in-tune with their riders. All she has to do is think about going left, slightly to the right or stopping ... and it magically happens. For now the herd is moving as one, and she is immersed in the orchestrated flow. As Sarah gently sways above the meadows and forest of India, she reflects on her life ... Just a couple years ago, she was so involved with her own problems, she could never have had such grateful thoughts about elephants or anything in nature for that matter. The transformation that she experienced has completely altered her point of view, her thoughts, feelings, and even the field of her sense perceptions. In the past when she would hear a bird sing on a beautiful morning like this, she might simply notice

it for a split second and then move on to more important things. Now however, when she hears a bird sing, not only does she usually recognize the species, but an entire new world of perception opens to her. On the wings of the song are packets of visual information regarding the bird. Within herself, as she listens to the birds song, she can see the bird itself ... its color and features ... she can see where its sitting in the tree, the sky behind it ... and how it hops among the branches. She also sees the other birds nearby and can even sense the mood of the group. This gateway of perception extends to everything in life that truly interests her and she recently noticed that through it she occasionally previews events that are soon to appear in her future. In her investigation of this fascinating perceptual process and how it comes about, Sarah learns that the first step is to allow associative memories of the subject to arise normally on their own. Then the new type of perception automatically flows on the heels of those memories which allows her inner vision to see real events happening in the external world that are at a distance or hidden from normal sight. She learned that
~ 59 ~
Child
this perceptual ability is a type of clairvoyance called remote viewing. Such doors of perception were utterly unknown and unavailable to Sarah before she came to India the first time. Sarah did not try to develop these abilities they simply unfolded on their own in the months and years after meeting the little girl. She came to understand that those abilities were always a part of herself all along the child simply gave her the confidence and permission to access and use them. But Sarahs young friend means so much more to her than her newly-found clairvoyant skills. It is the child who suggests that they go on this trip aboard the elephants. They start in the predawn darkness with a sliver of moon hanging in the west and the starry river of the Milky Way spreading above. As the elephants kneel to the ground to allow the riders to mount them, the little girl asks Sarah to think about their possible destination and the symbolic meaning that this journey contains. That is what Sarah is pondering now as they move through the softly lit meadow. Sarah is a young, intelligent woman, who graduated from college three years ago. Before

Child
starting a career in science, she embarked on a trip to the far corners of the globe. Her life had always been promising, but the biggest thing holding her back was her low opinion of herself. This issue was actually a spiritual wound so deep, it was like Sarah was at war with herself ... and she was losing. Not only did she feel disconnected at the core of her being, but also to everything in Life. This made no sense to her as she knew she was intelligent and talented in many ways. Over-shadowing that knowledge was the fact that she was stuck in a deep, self-deprecating, self-involved rut ... an endless loop of doubt and gloom, and could not find a way out. She had been in therapy for years and friends told her to look on the bright side, to love herself and all the usual stuff. But everyones honest efforts to help proved to be nothing more than empty words that carried no meaningful effect. On her first trip to India, she secretly carried the hope of finding herself ... or rather losing her old attitude and finding a new way to be in her skin and engage with life. In fact, she was more committed to resolving her inner problems than what her waking consciousness was aware of. Inside herself Sarah was
~ 61 ~
Child
truly ready to change, and the trip she took to the other side of the world was a natural expression of the inner journey that had already begun. On the first trip, in a remote village in India, Sarah met a friendly former Buddhist monk. By his appearance, she gathered that he dropped out of the traditional Buddhist path long ago, but kept some of its features in his daily life. His clothes were the saffron color worn by other Buddhists in the region, but they were cut differently and adorned with a unique belt and a colorful array of beads. The mans dark hair was tied behind him in a braid his beard was long and wispy. He spoke several languages, one of them being English, and Sarah hired him to be her guide. The only condition to his being hired was that he be permitted to bring along his adopted daughter, a 9 year old girl who spoke the same languages as he. The little girl was by his side, and Sarah instantly agreed, knowing that their company would be a welcome break from traveling solo and she might also learn a lot from the pair. To Sarah the child was quite a marvelous sight, with her beautiful skin and elegantly thin and small
~ 62 ~
Child
stature. Her Moroccan sari was perfectly wrapped and adorned with a trim of finely woven details. The girl had a glowing smile and big, deep, dark eyes of clear beauty and rare magic. Her eyes seemed to gently free Sarahs spirit from her own limitations and she consciously noticed the transmission of a joyful, uplifting feeling coming from the radiant little girl. Sarah thought to herself this is going to be a lot of fun. The guide turned out to be quite good in his role. His experience, intelligence and confidence made Sarah feel very safe and well cared for. As they moved through the landscapes and villages of India, Sarah soon became intrigued with the relationship between the guide and his daughter. They hardly spoke with each other, and when they did it was usually in whispers. They obviously had a close relationship, and their mere presence spontaneously drew admiration and affection for them, from the core of Sarahs heart. They did not need to talk much at all, and the father never told the child what to do. It was strange to see, but it felt natural and appropriate at the same time ... the pair treated each other as absolute equals.

Sarah mentioned this to her guide and noted that the relationship he shared with his daughter seemed to break the mold of the usual parent-child relationships in India, or anywhere for that matter. She praised him for bringing up such a wonderful child. But his response surprised Sarah: Call me irresponsible he said without emotion I have no parenting skills and am not inspired to follow in my parents footsteps. When she came into my life, quite by accident, I largely let her be and simply gave her love, care and companionship. That is all and nothing more. With those words, the former monk stared blankly into Sarahs eyes, and she realized the depth of what he was saying: The little girl came into this world with a sense of timelessness, understanding, a big heart, and the wisdom of an old soul. She was complete, as-is. The monk did not attempt to teach her anything about the ways of his world, his religion, or even his points of view, and so her ageless wisdom, clear mind, and boundless heart stayed intact. Sarah did not know it at the time, but she had much more in common with the little girl than she ever could imagine. One of the first signs that the child was truly

Child
unique, happened as they were strolling through a busy open market. The child was leading the way and Sarah had paused behind them to look at a table of high-tech items wireless telephones and digital music players that stood side by side with the ancient cultural wares of India. Suddenly a commotion erupted a burly shopkeeper came charging out to the girl and her father, shouting obscenities and waving his arms wildly. Sarah instantly thought that either the man was mentally ill or was on edge from tragic events in his own life, and now was taking it out on her friends. However, the childs response was as unexpected as it was remarkable she didnt react at all! Sarah could see that the girl, using her eyes and a slight movement of her head, fully acknowledged the angry man but she kept the slow pace through the market, absolutely undisturbed. The man must have been five times the size and weight of the little girl, but his physical space seemed to be of no significance in the equation. The force of the mans energy seemed to pass straight through the child and her father. His energy and words hit nothing in them. Sarah was frozen
~ 67 ~
Child
in her tracks and she noticed other people stepping back from the mans emotional shock wave, but her friends seemed to expect it, fully accept it ... but not have any interest in it. Because there wasnt the slightest reaction coming from them, the shopkeeper instinctively seemed to know that he had no business with her friends. Sarah could see his eyes immediately dart around the market looking at the numerous other people whom he had frightened. A few more seconds of arm waving and angry words at the shivering crowd concluded his emotional explosion. Sarah became immersed in this experience and replayed it over and over in her mind. She came to the understanding that the serene attention and utterly authentic, calm demeanor of the child and her father, seemed to render them in the most practical, worldly sense invisible to the hostile man. That was very cool! Sarah thought. She had never witnessed anything like that before. Even more remarkable was the childs response to Sarah when she asked her about the crazy man at the market. The child, wearing what Sarah thought must be the Buddhas smile, said Be kind Sarah ... because

The Unification Healing Matrix

The most profound experience of the first trip, and the turning point in Sarahs life happened late one night just before she was going to bed. The travelers happened to be staying at the guides modest home, in an agricultural area on the edge of a quiet town. The little girl said that she had something special to share with Sarah ... Sarah was always receptive to whatever the fascinating child had to offer. The child scooted Sarahs cot out to the middle of the room and requested that Sarah lay down and relax. The girl lit three candles, widely spaced in different parts of the room: two were in the direction of Sarahs feet and one behind her head. Sarah noticed that the candles formed an equilateral triangle that emitted an incredibly stable feeling of energy in which she felt comfortably absorbed. The child announced that she was going to work with Spirit to help bring healing to some of Sarahs biggest problems. They had not talked about any
~ 69 ~
Child
of Sarahs issues, and Sarah was surprised that the child would boldly bring up anything of this nature. But with a light heart Sarah chuckled Everyone has problems, and she settled in to play along with the game. It will not hurt to entertain the child she thought to herself. In later years, the healing ceremony that Sarah experienced that evening was called the Unification Healing Matrix, which has been quietly shared among special people, one-on-one, around the world. The child softly placed her hands on either side of Sarahs head, and asked her to close her eyes and relax deeper than she ever had before. Sarah could hear her friend take a few deep thoughtful breaths, and then create a profoundly sacred space with these words: All beings are intimate with First Source. The One Spirit has returned to consciously claim its own. Sarah was stunned and electrified by such a statement. Her mind was instantly and unexpectedly set free of all memories like a flock of doves suddenly

released from a cage. Sarahs conscious presence floated in blissful timelessness as the child continued in a remarkably confident, clear voice, intoned with poetic cadence ... There is no being more sacred than another. There is no space more divine than another. The pathway to God is this present moment in which everything resides. To value all things as they are and to be a witness to the wholeness of their expression is to be One with the Infinite. Personal reality is a fragment of Gods reality, and is Its divine expression. True freedom is living as a manifestation of First Source, the God of One and All. The most beautiful, spacious silence filled the room. Sarah felt utterly free. Sarah sensed the girl gently moving around her body from head to toe. Occasionally she peeked out and saw that the girl had her eyes closed and her hands hovering above Sarah, moving in graceful, slow, sweeping passes, as if playing a symphony of divine energy. Everywhere the girls hands went, a delightful

Child
tingling was felt in Sarahs body and in the atmosphere between them. The girl whispered to Sarah that she should repeat the phrases that she was about to give her. Sarah, with her eyes closed, and with the child continuing to hover above, listens to and repeats these words: I am here! I am found. I am precious and pure, just as I am. I am adored by First Source as I am Its child. I am deserving of conscious re-unification with the Infinite. I release the sorrow that has been caused by separation from the Infinite. Light fills my Soul. I am strong in deep, infinite wholeness. My unification is thorough and I now have everything I need. I am connected to everyone and everything. I am One with the Universe. We are One!
~ 72 ~
Child
With these final words the child returned to the place she started, and once again places her hands to either side of Sarahs head. Then she slowly bends over and kisses Sarah on the forehead like a mother kisses her child. The ceremony was complete. The girl stepped back into the darkness of the room, leaving Sarah floating in silent wonder. Sarah knew that something very special had just happened. Her logical mind was impressed, speechless, and tranquilized, and made no attempt to analyze it. There was perfect clarity with the knowing that a deep connection had been made to something so ancient, mysterious, and primordial that she knew it transcended her present life and this world. She could not fully grasp it, but she felt enveloped in what she identified as the energy, incomprehensible intelligence and compassionate presence of All That Is. Sarah knew that something had just happened that would change her forever.

Returning Home
The sun is now well above the eastern horizon and Sarah can hear a nearby village beginning to stir. The elephants have taken them on a journey that was a giant loop and she now can see their starting point quickly approaching. Once again, the kind elephants kneel down and the riders dismount. Sarah approaches her young friend who is petting the elephant she rode and is whispering something in his ear. When finished, the girl turns to Sarah with a radiant smile, and asks Did you think about the trip aboard the elephants, our destination, and its meaning? Sarah looks around, acknowledging that they have come back to the same place, and responds: There is no external destination. Weve already arrived at the destination which is the present moment ... which has been here all along. Everything is complete and whole, just as it should be. The elephants are symbols of All That Is, and the powerful flow of Creation. We can sit comfortably in the flow and be guided by Source,
~ 74 ~
Child
and as part of Source, we are also invited to shape our destiny and the journey ahead. The little girl says nothing but beams a broad smile. They thank the elephant caretakers and leave to return home. On their walk back, the little girl mentions to Sarah that she no longer has to return to India, that she has everything she needs and is complete. Sarah knows this to be true, and is surprised to feel that she is not saddened by her friends words, knowing that she may never see the physical form of the child again. Sarah knows that the spirit of her friend is so much more than her body or its physical location, and that the inner world is the spirits native home. In fact, the childs essence has blended into and become a part of Sarah. She realizes that her core vibration is made of the same intelligence, compassion and wisdom as that of the little girl who lives as a channel of Source Reality. Sarah now fully accepts this as her truth and returns home to embrace her life and destiny.

She cant get her mind to stop, let alone take a
break. Day and night, its always on, flitting from one thing to another. Most of her thoughts are trivial. They are about things that, at the end of the day, dont really matter. For years, settling in amongst the constant flood of thoughts is a deep lack of fulfillment. Her attention on too many material things and trying to keep up with her self-imposed, jam-packed schedule, has left her more frazzled and disturbed than satisfied and complete. She comes to believe that the momentum of her constant thinking is so deeply ingrained that it is insurmountable. Its enough to make anyone go nuts! she frequently thinks.

She loves her husband, John, who is a good guy, but he has similar issues and his

thoughts and concerns run at the same pace as hers. Here is what her mind goes through in a couple of minutes as it jumps around like a frantic monkey, seemingly always on edge, hopping from topic to topic: Out of bed! ... big day ahead. Get Clara ready for school ... deadlines at work ... worrying too much. Read the morning paper ... the news nearly always bad why? Need to be at appointments on time. Dozens of projects at work ... need to do more to stay ahead of the game. Clara wants a cat more than anything, but how in the world can we add another thing to this family? For the hundredth time: No! You dont need a cat. Im worried that shes becoming like me frazzled ... there are already signs. She seems way too young for that ... whats happening? John works hard and does not play enough. Im keeping up but my body, mind and certainly my spirit are always pooped. Why? Its gotta stop. Stop! ... Stop at store on the way home ... pick up 10 things on list ... need 5 of them for dinner. Clara needs my attention, too. Expanding garage for new office ... first: call the people wholl enlarge the driveway.

But an important area of life is missing from her personal reality ... a realm that contains peace, balance, deep fulfillment and real happiness. She knows that shes doing what everyone else is doing, but she feels that 90% of everything that she thinks about is petty. She would like to pay more attention to her spiritual life, but hardly has the time to do so. Her mind races from one thing to the next, day and night, awake and asleep. The mental experience is thoroughly exhausting and ultimately unsatisfying.

doesnt have the time to make substantial changes. But still, she presses onward as she senses that in a real sense, its either do or die. Shes an intelligent woman and intuitively knows that she must first shift her attitude before making any changes. She begins with entertaining positive thoughts of calmness and centeredness she welcomes them by giving them a home in her. Thoughts of balance and unity emerge and the shift begins. She starts reading about Eastern religion and meditation finding that although she likes the idea of Buddhism, it is not her cup of tea. She is drawn to meditation, reads a few articles on the subject, and also asks friends about it. She even signs up for a meditation class at her church, but her first attempt at meditation is an utter disaster. When she closes her eyes and looks into her inner world, she finds her mind racing faster than ever before! It is like her mind is seizing on the opportunity that she is offering it, to take her focused attention and build more and more torrents of thoughts. Endless thoughts ... blah, blah, blah. Mostly meaningless, disconnected, largely worthless thoughts! Its really too much for her, and

she quits going to class. Still, she feels that she must continue on and decides to go her own route. The woman remembers that the breathing technique suggested in the meditation class works best to get her mind to slow down. She finds that she can use it on the fly when driving down the freeway, walking to a store, and working at her desk the spontaneity and effectiveness of the technique is very appealing. One day, as she is in bed trying to fall asleep, she finds that when she relaxes and does her breathing routine, her mind slows down to its calmest level when she holds her breath. She has to concentrate on not tensing up during the in-breath, the holding, and the out-breath but the little bit of calmness that she is able to repeatedly produce is quite an amazing revelation. Even though her mind relaxes for just a few seconds, during these moments she gets a taste of what a calm mind might be like. She recognizes and enjoys the longer, smoother, empty spaces between the thoughts. And when new thoughts arise while she is holding her breath, she does not frantically attach to the thoughts or their content. This is an amazing

insight, and she wonders why she had not been aware of the intimate operations of her mind and breath before. Gradually things are starting to change in her inner world. The downward momentum has stopped, and her spiritual energy begins to blossom now. The over-all tone of her mind is microscopically in better shape than it was a few months ago and she has hopes that one day she may actually learn how to be a calm, centered person. It is a stretch ... but she allows the thought to be at home in her being. Her schedule is very busy, but she arranges to allow more time for herself in her daily routine. She creates her own self-help program which includes the breathing technique, going for walks with Clara and John, and an every-other-day workout at a nearby gym. Although her mind still runs wild on a daily basis, things seem to be going better. She traces the new, positive momentum back to the point in time where she made the commitment to shift her attitude. Then one Saturday she found she has a few hours to herself.

in the day. Now there is literally nothing to do and she enjoys the feeling of this rare opportunity. She slumps a bit as she is always tired from the fast pace of her life, but is so happy to have a few hours off to just relax and do nothing. As she wanders around her place, she glances at the back yard and sees the delicious shade under their big oak. Soft green grass spreads beneath its giant limbs, and she thinks I better go and enjoy the grass in that spot before the new driveway covers it. Its a warm summer day as she strolls out to the tree. The instant she moves into the dark shade under the spreading branches of the tree, she feels the delicious cool air and pauses to soak it in. How wonderful! I never would have appreciated such common little experiences like this a few months ago, she thinks to herself. Now, shes able to allow her surroundings to touch her tired mind and calm her heart. She walks deeper into the shade and does something that she hasnt done since she was a very little girl, about Claras age: she sits down on the grass at the base of the beautiful old tree. She slowly

slides back to rest against the noble, massive trunk. She chuckles to herself and silently shakes her head in disbelief about how nice this simple experience is ... how ordinary ... yet how far away it is from the emotions of her busy life. Why have I not come out here before? Why have I ignored this tree? This beautiful space and the lovely, quiet, precious feelings it holds are in my own back yard. This is so different from what Ive become. Ive run right past these experiences ... for a life of what? Yet, does life get any better than this? Not by much. This is so sweet, so special ... and it has been here all along. With these thoughts the woman closes her eyes and thinks more about her life and the good changes that she is making. Her attitude has improved, and now she can even take a few moments to breathe, to enjoy a tree, the cool grass, and to relax. With this, she gently falls into a twilight space of sleep. This is one of those marvelous times in which the mind is in a peaceful, happy mode, and the awareness drifts between light dreaming and barely being aware of the physical world. Life is good she whispers to herself.

In this dreamy state of awareness she feels herself moving upward in peaceful darkness slowly, gently, upward. The feeling is safe, warm, smooth, and has a natural flow. She seems to be expanding into a space that welcomes her freedom. The woman feels her limbs become like what must be the wings of a mighty, mythical bird. Her vision slowly opens and she finds herself in a most wonderful dream. One like shes never had before. She finds herself at the top of the great oak tree and is looking down through the branches and leaves at the ground. Stretching out below the limbs are the cool green grass of her back yard, her home, and she can even see over the fence into the neighbors yard. In fact, she can see the whole neighborhood and a lot of the town from her elevated point of view. This is the type of dream in which she realizes that she is dreaming. How incredible! Amazingly realistic! she thinks. To her surprise, as she looks through the branches and down the trunk, she sees herself laying against the trunk, appearing to be fast asleep. She is transfixed in

wonder at this sight. In this dream, shes a conscious entity at the top of the tree an entity separate from her physical body. In fact, she seems somehow to have blended into the tree itself. But anything can happen in a dream, so why not? The feeling is safe and grounded, yet atmospheric, saturated with peace and beautiful clarity. Her mind is utterly at rest, blissfully still. She realizes that this experience may be a dream, but it does not take away from what shes experiencing. The woman makes a mental note to keep this dream going as long as possible, and to make sure to recall EVERYTHING about the dream when she awakens. She settles into the dream awareness and finds herself calmly closing her eyes and floating with the experience in the crown of the tree. When she opens her eyes she still finds herself as a functionally aware center of consciousness at the top of the tree. She has, in fact, become the tree itself, and feels what it is like to be such a noble, ancient oak utterly calm. The tree actually seems to be in a continual state of serenity. For once in her life she feels what it is like to totally accept life as it is. Not only accept it, but enjoy

it ... to feel a part of her surroundings: the grass, the houses, the birds, the air, the other trees that stretch up the hillsides athrough the valleys. Soon the woman can feel her body stirring and knows that she is about to return to her waking state. As her eyes flutter open in her physical body she instantly remembers the fantastic dream of being up in the tree and of being the tree itself. She quickly goes to the house and with every step she takes, she does her best to recall everything about the dream. Once in the house she starts recording her dream. Everything flows nicely onto the page which locks the amazing experience into her full, conscious awareness. The dream captivates her attention: What in the world happened here? This was cosmic ... supernatural ... unbelievable. But its just a dream and so there is nothing to believe or disbelieve about it. Yet how marvelous! The woman cant take her mind off the dream and what it is like to actually have experienced being the trees awareness and her own awareness at the same time. She thinks about the tree and the wonder of its existence. She remembers how her mind was so

utterly calm when she was a fully conscious part of the tree. She loved the feelings of the tree and she recognized how it felt in its raw, native presence always empty but so complete. Grounded, solid, but light as a feather ... able to bend in the wind and be a welcome home for birds, animals and the people below. She knows she wants more of that experience, so she keeps recalling the memories of the dream and contemplating everything about it: every detail, every feeling, every sight and sound. She truly becomes absorbed in the dream and especially loves the feeling of being lost in its wonder. Over the days and weeks that follow, she finds herself drawn to the tree. Somehow, even with her busy schedule, she allows time and space to think about the tree and actually spends time under its great branches. With the purest sense of excitement, passion and intention, she sits in the exact same place as before, and tries to rest and fall asleep, just like in her original dream experience. She has some success with this. She cant tell if her new experiences with the tree are just imagination,

or in fact, are lucid dreams ... but it does not seem to matter. What matters is that she is able to visualize herself up in the tree again and again. She can be the tree and look out over her house and the neighborhood. The trees stillness and serenity become hers. Eventually the woman finds it easy to dream about being the tree ... to let herself go into the energy and feeling of the tree. This is truly a first-hand, visionary, here-and-now experience for her. Over the months, this becomes her new, core spiritual experience. She spends a lot of time contemplating the tree and actually picturing herself in its crown, and seeing life through their shared awareness. She learns that the tree is a great lover. It loves the birds that fly into and sing in its branches. It loves her family, her child, the people walking on the sidewalks. It loves hearing the voices of people, the animals and insects echoing among its leaves and branches. It loves to feel the wind pick up and make its mighty branches sway. The tree, (and now, the woman, too), loves hearing the symphony of leaves rustle in the breeze. At night the tree looks to the

stars and planets moving in the cosmos, and feels a supreme connection to All That Is. The feelings the woman gets while being the tree, are enough to make her cry, and tears often well up in her eyes just by recalling these experiences. Over time the woman realizes that the energy of the tree is something that she has translated and absorbed into her own energy field. She has quietly integrated into her own consciousness the feeling, awareness, the strength and wisdom of the ancient oak. It happened naturally without any effort on her part. She finds her life vastly more meaningful ... her mind is no longer possessed with trivia. She now is thinking about Life itself, and is intimately involved with its movement, acceptance, and awareness. As the months pass, the transformation of the woman is profound. The noble oak has changed her life through and through. She soon realizes that she does not need to add an office to the garage, and especially does not need to expand the driveway. The tree is far more important and valuable than such business considerations. She would never do anything to hurt her tree, the tree

which has given her so much. And at a nearby animal shelter, Clara finds a cat that she seems to have a special connection with. They bring it home and it is now an important part of the family. The woman realizes that all along, her daughter knew that a cat would be good for her spirit. Though Clara could not voice it, she intuitively knew that a cat would help her stay connected to the feeling heart at the core of her being and be nourishing to her unique energy, thoughts and dreams. Claras cat is like the womans beloved tree ... the cat helps her daughter realign with her original, true nature. The woman stops forcing her daughter to grow up and follow her adult-generated schedules and expectations, or to adopt her personal points of view. She allows Clara to return to being a child, and grow at her own pace. Clara and her cat instantly flow into an exceptional state of balance and harmony that is a wonder to behold. As the years pass and the woman grows more and more comfortable with having a quiet mind, a new talent unfolds from the deepest part of herself. She is not surprised as she could feel it coming. Her

Her forte is caring for the very young as well as the very old. These two groups are attracted to her like a moth to a flame ... or we should say, like a bird to its nest. The woman fully integrates her experiences with the tree and translates the care, serenity and love that is the very essence of the tree, into her own life. Calm, delicious feelings of gratitude flow through her as she knows that she is truly connected connected with her family, the patients in her care, the tree and with the entire Grand Universe. The woman now clearly senses that everything is unified and whole just as it should be.

Finding My Inner Father
~ 100 ~
There are dreams there are day dreams, and then there are clear, spectacular, spiritual visions. This is the story of a woman whose life is transformed by spiritual visions that reveal and unlock her true inner reality.
his story is about a middle aged woman. Shes surviving OK as she has her health, a few good friends and teaches history at a high school.
She went into history because she had a yearning
to connect with the past, thinking that if she could learn from its lessons and find its treasures she might better understand the experiences of today. But now, her professional interests no longer hold their original fascination. An area of continual problems for her is with men. She has had many relationships, but ultimately, none of them lasted or were very fulfilling. She was married in her early twenties but the marriage ended after only four years. Her relationships with men since then have been boring or they have been roller coaster rides in
~ 101 ~
which she would feel excited and hopeful for a while, but after problems and limitations in the relationships became apparent, they were over. Hence, as long as she can remember, shes always had a feeling of disconnection ... a deep yearning to unify and become whole within herself and with a partner. The woman is intelligent and knows the basics of psychology. She knows that her inability to meet a man whom she can partner with to co-create a happy, satisfying, and perhaps lasting relationship, is rooted in her relationship with her father. Her father and mother divorced when she was young, but she saw him frequently and even stayed with him for long periods during the summer. However, he was always emotionally distant and never took care of her like she wanted. He did the best he could, she would tell her friends, but it certainly wasnt enough. She clearly traces her current feelings of disconnection and yearning back to her earliest years, but even today her father is unreachable. She sees him every month, and she longs for him to wake up and accept her, but she is slowly realizing that hes his own man, with his own problems, and it probably will

never happen. You could say that her heart is broken. She easily cries when she loses herself in the thoughts, feelings and memories surrounding her relationship with her dad. The hopelessness and yearning to be complete produced a low-level depression that spanned many of her recent years. She did her best to pick herself up, but it was not enough as she continued the cycle of unsatisfying relationships with men. About a year ago, she decided that she really needed to get control of her attitude, or she would certainly fall deeper into the muck as she gets older. The woman bought several self-help books, began exercising regularly, and even enrolled in a hatha yoga class. These certainly had positive effects, and at least helped take her mind off her loneliness. One day, during her regular exercise routine, while contemplating how things have improved over the last few months, she was able to make the clear connection that her frame of mind and feelings were drawing better experiences and situations to her. I get it! she blurted out, when she realized that positive possibilities were lining up in her future. She was thrilled! This
~ 103 ~
simple realization felt like a spiritual awakening. Day after day, for several months, the woman worked on developing a deeply positive attitude. She still felt painfully incomplete in her relationships with men and her father remained as cold and distant as always but her attitude kept improving little by little. She felt better about herself. During this process, she had several potent experiences with her father and with a man that she loved experiences that were especially vile and hurtful to her. She became mired in the feelings and imagery related to those events, but from an even deeper place, the desire to be whole and complete quickly picked her spirits up and kept her moving in a positive inner direction. One day, after a long hike to the top of a mountain, she came home, showered and fell into bed. She was happy to feel the soft comforter wrap around her tired muscles. Her body seemed to fall into delicious sleep while her mind remained quiet and awake. Mmmmm ... this is a nice state of awareness she thought. Merging with the stillness, she ponders her father
~ 104 ~
and their relationship, and how it is reflected in all the failed relationships with men spanning her whole life. She feels an immense yearning to be fully united with him ... but realistically knew it to be impossible. Finally, her mind let go of those thoughts and feelings as she drifted into twilight consciousness between being awake and asleep.
Journey through the inner worlds

As the woman drifts along in this pleasant state of consciousness, it suddenly dawns on her that she is wide awake but not in her physical body, nor is she dreaming. She instinctively recognizes this environment of awareness as something familiar: it feels safe and peaceful ... and she knows she has been here many times before. In fact, she has a clear sense that she has lived for eons in this realm, and that her entire life in the physical dimension is a purposeful visit rather than a permanent residence. Floating peacefully, she recalls her earliest memory of this realm of awareness. She recognizes the memory as one she often enjoyed as a very young
~ 105 ~
child, but the memory of this fantastic place had slowly disappeared from waking consciousness as adulthood wrapped its concerns around her. Her earliest memory was heavenly you might say ... and saturated with spiritual tones. She saw herself before she was born, as a spiritual being in a world of bright, soothing light, and she was very happy and excited about an approaching adventure. Seated next to her was a radiant being, a woman whom she recognized as her personal counselor and guide. The counselor was known to her as the Souls Emissary, and she truly was a symphony of beauty and wisdom. Their relationship was imbued with perfect knowing, charity, purpose and unconditional love. The Emissary spoke: Are you ready my dear? I am, the woman whispered softly. She beamed with feelings of eagerness but could only offer a gentle voice when in the presence of such a magnificent being. You are about to enter a new incarnation that will be the most meaningful of all. In this life, you will once again repeat what you have done before, which has left you fragmented and wanting wholeness.
~ 106 ~
In this incarnation, you will find the hearts unification in an inner place that you have not seen before. Know that in your journey through the physical world I will never leave you, and that you are always in my care. The Emissary then intoned a special blessing and tapped her gently on the forehead. The Emissary bid her farewell and a happy, fruitful journey in the physical dimension. The woman departed from the presence of her counselor as she began to move without any effort of her own she felt intentionally pulled by a greater force. First, she ascended in an immensely long rainbow-shaped arc, and then began the journey to the physical dimension in a slow, descending, spiral. Every atom of her being tingled with excitement as she knew that soon she would be in human form, and ever closer to complete fulfillment. That was her earliest memory of this inner realm of awareness and now she understands that once again she is a traveler in this infinitely vast, glowing Universe. She instinctively knows that there are two principle ways to travel through this realm: one is by instantly moving to any destination as if time and
~ 107 ~
space do not matter or exist as barriers; and the other is by soaring ... which is what she is doing now. Soaring is especially pleasant as it gives you time to think about the experiences that are unfolding, and allows the traveler an opportunity to take in the spectacular views. As the woman floats along, she begins descending through an immense space of thick, delicious, white light, feeling very much at ease. Suddenly, she knows she is settling down into what seems to be a 3D environment, and her eyes flutter open with perfect vision. She recognizes herself as
~ 108 ~
having the mind and awareness of her adult self, but looks down and sees herself in the body of a child. She is seven years old and marvels at this amazing experience in which she can be a harmonious blend of the mind and feelings of both her adult-self, and her child-self ... at the same time. As she looks around the environment, she sees that she is standing in the front yard of her mothers home where she grew up. Once the full realization sinks in of where she is and at which time of her life, she freezes in fear she recognizes this to be the precise time and space of one of her worst childhood memories. But before fear can overtake her, the magnetic presence of the Emissary sweeps through her being. In an instant, her guide and counselor is standing by her side. Dont be afraid. You are under my care. This is your inner world. Her counselor speaks with a wonderful tone of assurance. The girl instantly feels absorbed into her field of energy. The girl now feels calm, but asks, Why am I here? This is the worst place for me to be! She knows what is going to happen if they enter the house, as she has
~ 109 ~
replayed this particular memory an infinite number of times throughout her life. This exact memory represents the sum total of all the terrible feelings of abandonment and disconnection with my father, she tells the Emissary. In this powerful memory, her mother and father are in the living room having a heated argument. Shes standing in the doorway, and hears her father talking about her. Hes angrily saying that he wishes their daughter had never been born that things would be a hell of a lot easier without her. And in that horrible memory, her father turns to see that his daughter has heard it all. As the girl looks into his eyes, she can see that he meant every word. He continues on with his tirade as if she werent there. The Emissary knows what the little girl is thinking and feeling, as shes actually a part of her. Taking her by the hand, the Emissary says We will make things right. The girl does not have a clue as to what her guide means, but she trusts her more than anything. The Emissarys hand feels warm and her aura of confidence and purpose has a tranquilizing effect. As they enter the house, the little girl can hear
~ 110 ~
her parents arguing, which confirms the series of events that they are about to witness. The Emissary gently pulls her towards the living room and stands in the very doorway that is prominent in the young girls vivid memories. The little girl starts to cringe as she knows she is about to hear her dad say those terrible words. But this time, in this here-and-now reality, events begin to change. Her fathers focus on the conversation with her mother is interrupted as he feels the clear presence of people standing behind him. He quickly wheels around and catches sight of his daughter and is looking directly in her eyes with the same coldness and disconnection that he has always had. He is about to shout something and begins to open his mouth ... when he suddenly becomes aware of the composed and powerful being standing with his daughter. The Emissary raises her right hand, palm facing the girls father ... her presence, combined with that simple act, projected enough power and authority to stop him cold, in mid-sentence. The little girl is stunned at what she is witnessing!
~ 111 ~
She can see that her father is utterly and completely shocked as well even more so. For a fraction of a second, the little girl sees her fathers body recoil backwards with a quick jerk, and he tries to stand up taller than usual ... she recognizes this as his instinctive attempt to look bigger in hopes of dominating this incredible being who now has his daughter under her wing. But he realizes it is hopeless, and totally surrenders to the flow of events that he thought he was orchestrating and which instantly came to a screeching halt. Both of them could see the fathers body suddenly weaken as he teeters under the full impact of the moment. You no longer have any control over your daughter! the Emissary announces with the authority of what seems like God. The young girl can see her dads eyes move back and forth with lightning speed as his mind processes the moment. Never again are you allowed to treat your daughter with anything but respect, acceptance and care. Your time for sharing the unkindness that you harbor in yourself is OVER! the Emissary pronounces.
~ 112 ~
She is now the prime mover of her entire Inner World. You are not. The Emissary pauses for a minute to let her last words sink into the groups consciousness. In complete silence, without taking his eyes off the Emissary, the man slowly slumps into his chair. The young girls mother also looks utterly bewildered and awed by what has transpired, but she remains standing beside him, frozen in wonder. The Emissary peers into both of their eyes just to be sure that her message is locked in place. Once she is satisfied that their understanding is complete, she says: We are leaving, but remember, that I am always watching after your daughter, and in so doing, I am watching you. If you raise one finger in anger to her, or treat her badly in any way, I will return instantly! You will always be in my mind and heart. Both parents instinctively nod, indicating their understanding and acceptance. The Emissary and the little girl stand silently, hand in hand at the doorway as energy electrifies the room. Everyone knows that a profound shift has just occurred. The Emissary turns to leave with the young girl,
~ 113 ~
and as the girl steps through the front door, she takes a final look back at her dad. She sees the expression on his face and instantly reads his mind ... She sees that her father understands what the Emissary has said. The girl can see in his eyes that he is ashamed of the way that he has treated her in the past, but that at this moment, he truly has had an epiphany. The little girl sees that her father can hardly believe what has just happened: As she reads his mind, she sees that he assumed that he would always be the Lord of his daughters inner world. He thought he would always get away with his behavior ... that he could be hurtful and unkind without consequences. But now, he comes to the full realization that his daughter is in control of her life, and that he is simply a guest in her inner world. He has to act according to her wishes, as she is in charge of this world inside herself! She now has the full power, authority, will and know-how to put him in his place ... in her inner world. In fact, it has already happened. As the little girl and the Emissary stroll back to the front lawn, the girl feels waves of gratitude for this
~ 114 ~
incredible life-changing event that has just occurred. With tears of joy in her eyes she says Tell me more about what happened there ... just so I can have perfect clarity. The Emissary looks into her eyes and says: The image of your father in this world your inner world carries his full energetic make-up, which includes his lack of wholeness. Therefore, you could never become a fully connected and whole human being if you allow that image to dominate your inner reality. What we just did with the image of your father, in this key memory, is we took back the power that he had taken from you as a little girl. We did this in a single event, and the energy field of that key memory was re-written with the resolution that you just witnessed. In so doing, you now have full control over your inner world. The image of him, in yourself, is now in its rightful place. He is no longer running the show you are. The girls attention flashes forward into the full consciousness of her adult self and replies: I now have a better understanding of the relationship with my
~ 115 ~
father, and how my personal evolution has always been pulled back to that image I held of him the image with limitations and problems. She thanks her guide with a long hug, and her spirit soars in its new found freedom.
Reunification
The Emissary and the little girl pause for a while to take it all in. Finally, the Emissary breaks the silence: You have looked for unity and wholeness through earthly parents spanning hundreds of incarnations, but each time you found yourself aligned with their level of incompleteness. The girl replies, Then, is there no hope for any being? All humans have their problems no one is perfect. It seems that everyone is fragmented and out of balance in some way or another. Yes, there is hope. The ultimate fulfillment of completeness is only found in the realms of your inner world but not in the surface areas that most beings look, says her guide. Most people look inside
~ 116 ~
themselves and see worlds of memories endlessly repeating themselves in a confusing fog of feelings and utter illusion. Few are able to untangle the mental chaos and see beyond their identities in the physical world. But for those who do, the harmony of the inner cosmos is revealed. Beings who become the prime mover of their inner world find that there is an underlying grand structure already in place that supports the entire multi-dimensional Universe. In this original structure is everything a being needs at all stages of its evolution. This includes the lowest levels of fragmentation and separation, and the highest levels of unity and wholeness. Again the Emissary pauses for the girl to process these words. Even though you now feel the exhilaration of being free from the boundaries of the inner energetic form of your earthly father, you still are not fully unified. There is a purpose to the parent-child relationship, but as you can see it is often distorted and unfulfilled in the physical dimension. I get it! says the girl Youre going to take me
~ 117 ~
to see God. The Emissary chuckles and replies: You are already seeing God, as God is All That Is. God is everywhere. All beings are intimate with First Source always! But beings are not fully aware of this fundamental connection with God while they are fragmented and are not aware of their deeper unified essence. We are now on our way to a profound re-connection. The girl and her guide leave the environment of her childhood home and begin to travel side-by-side, first through an expanse of white light, and then through a marvelous black star-filled sky. The girl feels the sensation of flying forward and upward in long graceful spirals. She is both calm and excited about the unfolding adventure. She holds the presence of herself as an adult, along with her feelings and mindstyle as a child. In this realm, she is the past, present and future, all rolled into one. Soon she feels the presence of a 3D environment approaching, and she gently sways in a slightly downward direction. The starry sky is still overhead as she begins to visualize the shape of a lovely, simple home in a beautiful natural environment. As she
~ 118 ~
descends further, she sees a grassy lawn, spectacular flowers that glow in a symphony of colors and shapes and a radiant being who is looking her way, as though waiting for her return. The little girl and her guide settle down on the front lawn, a good distance from the house. In this particular environment, even though it is night and the stars blaze in a black sky, all things seem to glow from their own light. The Emissary looks at the little girl and says You see, in the inner cosmos, there is everything. This is truly your home. The girl knows this to be true as she can feel it in every atom of her being. And, here in your inner world, you have a parental Father at the core of Being. He has always been here ... you have just been on a long journey that has taken you away from home. The journey was spread across many human lifetimes ... but now you have returned. As the Emissary says these words, the young girl smiles. The little girl looks at her Inner Father standing on the porch and sees the same smile. She runs across
~ 119 ~
the yard to him and he scoops her up in his arms. He kisses her on the forehead and gives her the biggest, longest hug in all her memories. He tells her that he loves her with all his heart, and that he is soooo glad that she is home! He accepts every speck of her being, and is eager to hear all about her experiences, her dreams, her hopes, and how she has grown during her journeys. The little girl knows her Inner Father to be strong and full of wisdom. He is a being who gives affection freely, has a good heart, a sense of humor and an incredible twinkle in his eye. The authenticity of his energy and the feelings he projects are like the purest, warmest light she has ever known. He does not hesitate to pick her up and cradle her in his arms. She sits with him in his favorite chair for hours and hours. He even sings the most beautiful song to her ... and she sometimes falls asleep and dreams the most wonderful dreams. And when she awakens he is still holding her in his arms. Being in the presence of her Inner Father is an absorbing experience as the girl learns how he relates to all of Life. For instance, when he reaches for a cup
~ 120 ~
of warm tea, touching the handle and bringing the cup to his lips ... she sees in the way he moves and the feelings he exudes that he is grateful not only for the tea, but for everything. As she watches him talking to people, listening to her, petting a cat, or looking up at the stars, she knows that he is seeing God in all things. As he strolls through the garden, rocks in his favorite chair, or prepares a meal, she can tell that his energy, thoughts and feelings are reaching out to help nurture all forms of life, both seen and unseen. In this way, his entire being is open to her and she is free to connect and absorb his wisdom, philosophy, attitudes and feelings. The father explains to his daughter that she, in essence, is a conscious explorer of Life. She is free to separate from him and journey to the far edge of Creation to have all the experiences she wants and needs. He will not only be waiting here for her to return, but in fact he will always be with her, as a radiant, energetic form in her inner world. The little girl knows this to be absolutely true! One time, she flew out into the night sky to a circular cluster of seven stars, and became completely lost in

their wonder. She traversed this spectacular stellar pathway to its very end and then turned around for the long journey home. As she descended through the darkness, she looked for her home to come into view. After what seemed to be an incredibly long time, she finally got her first sight of the familiar trees far below, the distinctive color of the clay tiles on the roof and the shape of the yard. She slowly spiraled down, down, down to her home, and soon saw a person out on the lawn, which she thought must be her father. Her first sight of him was as a little speck because the distance was so great, but when she finally got close enough to make out his features, she saw that he was facing her way. He did not forget. He was looking up to the night sky to catch the first sight of her returning to him.
Life goes on in Completeness

In the real life of the physical world, the woman thoroughly integrates and processes her spiritual visions. She now knows herself to be complete and unified, and she can feel it in her bones. She is

infinitely grateful to have found her Inner Father in the clarity of her inner world. In her spiritual vision, her Inner Father seemed to be in a home far away, and involved with her as a young girl. But now, she can see and connect with his energetic form and wisdom at any time and any place. With her eyes open or shut ... wide awake or in dreams ... she unites with her Inner Father, and she uses his image and pattern of energy to help shape her personal reality. She has learned that she can call the radiant form of her Inner Father and he will be in her presence instantly. She can ask him for guidance and he will impart his special wisdom.

all times. Indeed, she has brought not only his image back to the physical dimension where she is an adult woman but she has also brought the timelessness of his spirit into her life. It turns out that her relationship with her earthly father improves, too. He has not changed but she is no longer needing and expecting him to. She now accepts him as-is. She now loves him more than ever before, as her love for him has changed. It is unconditional. The woman realizes that she has absorbed many of the insights, wisdom and qualities that are in the personalities of her Inner Father and her Souls Emissary. She understands that just by holding their luminous forms in her inner world, she has become aligned with their energy patterns, thoughts and feelings. In a very real way, she has become them. When she meets up with the form of her earthly father in her inner world, she never has to call the Emissary to her side. For one thing, the image of her earthly father learned his lesson, and he knows his place in her world. The woman finds that she can easily handle any situation throughout her inner cosmos.

In her new unified form, the woman flourishes in the physical world. She is now an attractor field for men who are unified themselves. She now has wonderful relationships with men, but is not dependent on them to make her happy or complete. The unification of her inner world is now reflected in her outer reality. As the sense of wholeness settles in, she discovers that new abilities have suddenly awakened in her. Apparently, these abilities were dormant when she was a fragmented being, but now that she is complete they have sprung to life. It is revealed that the woman has uncanny insight into the mental and emotional realities of children. She meets her need to serve humanity by becoming a child psychologist, developing a profound program that helps hundreds of thousands of children all around the world. The woman knows that she is now creating personal realities that are a vibrational match to the

This is two stories in one. The story that should be read first is in the gray box on the left of each page. The other story is on the right, outside of the box. The stories are to be read separately, but after reading both stories you will see that they are intertwined like a metaphysical double helix. Even if these are not your stories, it is highly recommended that they be read and absorbed at least once ... as they transmit an intuitive intelligence that will be helpful in processing all other Stories for Transformation.

He sees an expansive, seemingly endless, grassfilled valley, framed by a magnificent pair of parallel mountain ranges. His people live in the foothills above the valley floor, on a small flat area of land that is accessed by a steep trail. This is his clans favorite space ... one that has good water, sun, shade, relative safety and spectacular views of the roaming herds of animals below. There are soaring eagles and ever-changing clouds above. It is 10,000 years ago.
For a decade he worked for a major power company but recently made the courageous move to strike out on his own as a private contractor installing solar power units. His business keeps him busy, pays the bills, and he enjoys working for himself in an area thats good for the planet. A year earlier, the man was surprised to find that the story Finding My Inner Father had special meaning for him. He did not have an issue with his father, but rather with his

Around that time, his father left on a hunting trip and never returned. His mother was taken in by another man who clearly sees the boy as a burden. These are serious problems for the child, and over the years he has not received the support or food he needs. This has made the boy the smallest of all the

As the days and weeks passed, he noticed that key parts of Finding My Inner Father would come and go freely in his

His hopes for a bright future to enjoy a full life, have a family, and be a meaningful part of his clan are dim. But inside himself glows an ember of hope. He has listened well to the shaman tell the spiritual stories of his people. The medicine man speaks of mysterious forces that give life and shape to their world and to

Months passed, and then one day, as he was at work doing a routine job and daydreaming about his life, it dawned on him that somehow over the past year slowly, mysteriously, and without effort he had undergone an inner transformation. As compared to his starting point of a year ago, he was a new man! This was not a

No mature men work with the grains and he can see that his time is limited in this area, too.

Hence the boy is on the very edge of the larger problem that the Hu clan is experiencing.

As these transformations were slowly unfolding, he also lost the fixation on who he thought he was, i.e. a solid, knowable, physical being. He now felt lighter, higher (more atmospheric you might say) and knew himself to be a spiritual being. He saw that he was a great mystery and he grew comfortable with it. Very comfortable. In fact, he embraced that aspect of himself. In the year after

As the ritual draws to a close and the people go back to their huts, the boy emerges from the darkness and approaches the fire.

The boy finds the bread, picks it up and blows off the dust. Rather than eating it now, he thinks it might be better to keep it by

But tonight is different he feels no need or fascination to replay dreams of how it has ended in past lives. He is ready ... and has the will and nerve to move on.

The boy looks inward to the radiant spirits and prays. His inner orientation is not like that which is taught by the elders and common to his tribe. In his communion there is no emotional pleading.

But this time, he re-lives the memory and alters its usual sequence of events, directing the new content and storyline to play out in the memory ... just as he had planned. Once the memory is re-

With the thought of the dream still in his awareness, he feels no threat in the experience thats unfolding. He feels that the spirit in the dream has a part in what is happening. As his vision comes

From the core of his being, rising like the full moon, comes a deep understanding that the heart of the boy means him no

Though one of the shamans most important rules is to not waste sacred bread, the boy feels he has something more significant to do.

They move through and interact with the world as, more-or-less, a single unified being.

They share companionship, everyday experiences, dreams and many things in life that cannot be described in words. Soon, they are even

The Hu people, who had been witnessing the rapid development of the boy-dog bond, cannot believe their eyes! They have never seen a dog behave in this manner being so close and at ease with a human. And they understand the deep significance of the relationship. Not only is the boy snatched from

He also feels that the boy is stuck, unable to move on. He seems to be facing a large hurdle which is why he always appears in the same way and with the same energy and feelings.

The spirit calls the purpose of their trip a healing, which is something the man had experienced during earlier excursions into the bright realms of the inner cosmos. On several occasions he has been involved in events in which he was the receiver of healings but this is the first time in which he will participate with a group of healers as one of them. It feels natural to him and also thrilling. The party of three travel up and reach what seems like a plateau of space. Then they pick up speed and are propelled forward in an immense luminous arc.

It grows larger and brighter as they approach and he recognizes it to be a most beautiful full moon. Waves of thunder ring all around as they are magnetically drawn to a certain, unseen destination. The faint sound of drums and chanting are heard, giving him the chills ... it is becoming clear that they are about to enter an ancient world of tribal ceremony. Transfixed in wonder at the unfolding situation, the travelers descend into a rich natural environment glowing in golden moon light. At first the mans vision is foggy, but things eventually clear and he can see that they are witnessing a sacred gathering of an ancient community. People are dancing around a large fire. The music is primitive, hypnotic and wonderful! The man is absolutely thrilled to be fully immersed in this experience as he knows who he is, where he has come from, and that he is here for a special purpose! He, Alo, and his spiritual guide are invisible to the dancing people they have instinctively arrived at the spot in the environment that is immediately behind the boy, who is hiding in the shadows on the outer edge of the group. The man quickly scans the scene and

sees the luminous forms of three additional guardian spirits all on the outer edge of where the ceremony is taking place and he instantly knows that they are part of this mission to help the boy. He follows the eyes of the child as the boy looks over to the right and sees a pack of wild dogs that are also watching the tribal ritual. The man intuitively feels the ancient, primal connection between Alo and the dogs and, in fact, he senses that Alo has somehow summoned the dogs to this event. The man is amazed at the divine orchestration hes witnessing, realizing that Alo is a key figure in what is happening. The man is not clear as to how things will unfold, or how he will help, but he is comfortable and elated to simply hold onto the desire to help the boy and let the cosmic forces take their course. He watches the medicine man dance and lead the group in the fascinating ritual. In his left hand, the shaman holds a primitive spear adorned with three raptor feathers. In his right hand held high above his head, the shaman lifts what appears to be a type of flat bread which must have sacred symbolism. The man thinks to himself, this ritual is a blessing for the hunters and for the peoples crops of grain.

The man relaxes into the experience and waits for a defining moment to happen a special event that will lead to helping the boy. He sees the shaman twirling around at the dark edge of the dancing tribe ... and feels an unmistakable surge of joyous energy build in the team of observing spirits. Suddenly, the energy collectively held in the healers attention is spontaneously released in a wave of luminous splendor and simultaneously pulses through the shaman. The shamans body responds by bending backwards in an expressive arch. During this event, the shamans spear strikes the sacred bread sending a small piece of it twirling off into the darkness. The man sees that the only beings to notice the stray piece of bread, besides those in the healing party, are the boy they came to help and a young dog in the pack. Eventually the ritual comes to a close and the people go to their huts. As soon as everyone leaves the boy jumps up and goes searching for the piece of sacred bread left behind. The man, Alo, the spirits, and the young dog from the pack watch as the child finds the little treasure. He takes it back to a lean-to, that appears to be his own private dwelling, and he quickly merges into the furs and leaves which form his bed.

The light of the moon casts the most beautiful, mystical shadows over the entire area. A chorus of crickets and owls sing the tribe to sleep. The man senses that a special string of events are unfolding that will change the course of the boys life and maybe the lives of others. He cannot see that anything special has happened yet ... he just knows that something is about to. The man is telepathically asked by one of the spirits to remain near the boy for a while longer. He gladly does so ... and he can feel and see the radiant form of Alo by his side. Alo is very interested in what is happening, and seems to be intimately connected to the young dog who has a keen interest in the sacred bread that the boy has clutched to his heart. The young dog keeps his distance and Alo tells him that things will be all right. Alo knows of the special bonds between man and dog, and he whispers to the young dog that he should approach the boy and ask for the bread. He must ask for it though, and not take it. The man now sees that the boy is dreaming, and he meets the childs radiant form in the childs inner world. He does not say anything ... he just floats with the boy in spirit and shares what can be described

as the essential stirrings of the souls eternal heart. Soon the boy drifts back into the shadows of sleep. Apparently, their healing mission is complete. The man can feel himself and Alo being pulled back to the present day reality by a great, unseen, universal force. As the sight of the boy disappears from view, the man sees that the young dog is sitting right in front of the boy and is patiently waiting for him to wake up. Chills run through the mans spiritual form as he is electrified with a vision that things will turn out all right for the child. The man returns to the waking world, and sees the light of the full moon pouring through the window. Alo is sleeping at his feet and the clock says 4:30. That was truly beautiful ... magnificent he murmurs quietly. He spends the next hour in the chair, suffused in stillness, contemplating the events that unfolded in his inner world. He wonders if there really was or is a little boy somewhere that he has helped? That he concludes, he will never know. The only thing that he can be sure of is that he took a journey into his inner world, aligned with a gathering of spiritual forces, and resolved an issue that a little boy had been

struggling with, inside himself. As the days pass, the man often reflects on the incredibly moving, mystical inner journey. He concludes that it must have been a success, as the image of the little boy which had been coming to him in the same form his entire life returns only once, a month later. On that occasion, the child appeared before the man as soon as he closed his

eyes to begin an early morning meditation session. The boy bowed to him in a gesture of universal gratitude and friendship, and the man in his inner energetic form returned the bow. The child seemed to literally glow with a special happiness, power, and purpose he was transformed! The man is especially delighted to see the young dog sitting closely beside the boy. He instantly knows them to be inseparable in their world. In future years the man is never revisited by the same inner vision of the young boy in trouble. However, the radiant form of a strong young man in buckskins often appears, with a dog by his side. He knows this presence to be the same being he helped early one morning so long ago. With a heart filled with joy, the man stands in wonder of it all happy to be alive and a part of the Great Mystery. He has returned home ... home to the original Oneness that rests at the heart of the Universe and the center of his being. It is now perfectly clear that everyone and everything is connected and unified, just as it should be.

Future plans for SFT
here are several stories currently in development that will form the next set in this project: Volume 2, Stories 6~10. I envision that there will be dozens of stories, written by many authors, available in many languages and enjoyed by a diverse audience from all over the world. In the same spirit and intention as the first 5 stories, more will be developed that are designed to help free people from the inner fields of chaos in which they feel mentally, emotionally or energetically stuck. Most fascinating to me are the stories being created that see wondrous visions of the future. Unlike the first 5 stories, these are not necessarily designed to help in the healing of emotional issues within readers though they are welcome to have that effect and for some people these stories will be very helpful in the activation of their self-healing abilities. But, the stories of this nature are primarily designed to seed and incubate future realities. They focus upon the feeling, the visualization, and the energizing of fascinating, sustainable and harmonious futures for the reader and humankind. Stories will also be created for people who sense they have a special purpose be it great or small in the evolution of humanity. These stories will assist in the growth of unique harmonies, virtues and courage in the hearts of readers. They will help in the formation of very rare, sheltered, and

beautiful inner nurseries where the highest possibilities of lifes expressions can be conceived, nourished and born. I invite you to share with me any ideas, suggestions, reviews, or short stories that you feel might be a notable addition to Stories for Transformation. Peace & Blessings Always!

About the Author
y name is Teka Luttrell. I live a very quiet life of gratitude, wonder and serenity in the heart of Nature. I am the creator of the Soul Connection Network materials, the Stories for Transformation energy project and Soul Connection TV. We play in the inner fields of energy, imagination, holographic imagery and the Infinite. The luminous realms inside ourselves are the original canvases as our creations first swirl into being from the Quiet Center of Stillness within. Treasures of light and meaning become visible in the physical world as the understanding of inner universes and the nature and abilities of the immortal soul are translated into art, symbols, words and stories.
~ 177 ~
Our creations are vibrant energetic packages that are designed to be consumed through the physical senses and assimilated into the inner depths of beings all around the world. Seen on computer screens, our art travels as light, sound and energy into the resonating inner worlds of the observers. The reflections of our creations cast benevolent and expansive influences across the subtle fields of feelings, beliefs, images and memories that compose peoples hearts and minds. As you know, personal and collective realities are largely created from the inside-out. Hence, through the delivery and absorption of inspirational content, we acquire the ability to see, feel, imagine and dream new worlds of beauty, unity and harmony inside ourselves.
