Thank you Malcolm. Yes, Perera's book is a wonderful tool for the journey. I recommend it to students in my Heroine's Journey workshops. I think everyone can benefit from her insights.
All the best...

Beautiful post. Perera's book is an excellent resource for those who want to understand the underworld and/or who are writing about it.

Comment on The Compassion of the Rose

2011-11-21T09:56:27Z

Rose; is as the heart.
Rose; as the feminine "part" of her body.
The flower as symbol of feminine sexuality as well as emotion and feeling...from the closed bud of virginity into ever opening petals into adult woman.
Is is possible to open the sexual rose and to leave the heart rose closed?
I have thought alot about rose these past days as you have too, Leslie as I see in your essay.

Thank you for you comments. I understand and appreciate you concern. I agree we don’t know what is REALLY going on; anywhere in fact. I think in our recent history WikiLeaks has shown us that. This is why I prefer not to focus on the external but the internal, personal state of being.

Our minds rely on information and can be fooled or manipulated. Our body tells us the truth. The truth is in what we ‘feel’ or experience. My commentary has been on what I have seen in people not what I have been told or think might be happening.

What I KNOW is that there has been a huge shift in people. I can see it through there actions and you can feel it all around you. For me this is what is important. None of us know who is ‘pulling the strings’. But we do know that Egypt is not the same place it was before, the people are not the same. All we can do is hold the intention for the highest good. Because no one knows what is truly going on.

A friend posted picture yesterday from Tahrir Square, the clean-up. It was amazing people picking up garbage, washing everything, even polishing the lions on Kasr el Nil Bridge. In the past I have only seen people throwing garbage on the streets. They were apathetic. Why wouldn’t they be? They never felt it was there country, now there is pride and a sense of belonging. That is what I see and feel.

I do believe there will be a lot of challenges along the way. We are on un-chartered territory but what I have witnessed is truly amazing. I don’t think anyone who is not here can realize the magnitude of the shift. It needs to be felt. I have never said that this will be easy. It is a huge lesson for all of mankind. We just need to take it one step at a time. We are changing paradigms which means we are flying blind. It also means that we need to stop looking at the past for guidance and follow our intuition.

I believe we are at a place in our evolution where the truth is coming out, maybe not all of it but piece by piece it will happen. No one knew all of what has already been illuminated. I am sure there is a lot more. And I think that those who want to point fingers also need to realize that all we wish on other people will come back to us. If we wish for the truth to emerge remember that our own truth will emerge as well. What goes around comes around. I think when we see people doing things of such great magnitude either in a good way or a bad way it is time to check ourselves, look at our own actions. The universe is holographic. The macrocosm reflects the microcosm. It is time for everyone to ‘come clean’. It is only when we free ourselves of our own impurities that we will be truly free. That is what I wish for myself and everyone else.

Freedom is a state of mind. We are what we perceive ourselves to be. I don’t think someone who has to take Prozac everyday; just to get through the day is free. Those people are enslaved by their anxiety or depression, it is mental oppression, and for the person experiencing it, it is no less real than being put in a prison.

Dear Leslie, having visited Egypt in October I now can more relate to the situation there. Knowing what I know, after full 3 years of diving into any subject possible, I welcome the change in Egypt. However, ever since this started, I looked for red flags in this event and I found many. This could very easily be a false flag operation directed and controlled by many other players. This could be a set up. I know that you are aware of this possibility. But what is one to do? I don't know how do you get the hidden agenda exposed and how do you distribute the right information. The access to the power is limited and the ones who have it are in on the set up. Why did US recall all the ambassadors to Washington? Something big is brewing and you know very well how important G(ISSA) is to them. There is more going on that meets the eye and the people of Egypt are being let to do exactly what the PTB want them to do. We are in this all together and we are all misled. Look after yourself and your family. Thank you for your personal journal of what is going on. Continue to do the work you do. Blessings and love to you.

about three days ago (after several days of anxiety) all of a sudden I felt/knew 'everything' would be ok w/Egypt. it was like w/less media coverage, Egypt would be alone to work out its problems. (i still check but KNOW that all will be good), plus i read your posts; it helped. so much agree w/your analysis about demonstrating: change comes from the silent interior, not big mouths-- which only incite the opposition, creating a war of egos (on which dark forces feed). while reading several posts i thought: i hope some media outlet reads your perspective. THAT would be good coverage from a more enlightened perspective.

heavy chevy, ironed flat, the dark side of the moon. sleep between her paws, in the cast shadow of the sphinx. how vast black can be.dare i see the beauty that lives even here..not hurry in despair from it, rejecting and crusifing. what black pearl have i overlooked in my hurring away from this odd landscape? the sphinx whispers in silences a peculiar melody quietly again and again, until i cant ignore, in curled pitches softly. m y s t e r i o u s . . . . is this....

Don't think you are losing anything you really need. Just let it go! Being here in the States is interesting, to hear peoples comments. They are experiencing the same things we have been talking about for months. So it really is universal. Most people I speak to, people I have known for a very long time are also reporting a loss of vision. Interesting. I still have no clarity or vision of the future. Seems that is our next challenge. Perhaps we are developing a new sense beyond vision. We will see! Or whatever it will be.
