This excerpt first, from Soul Trek.
We cannot all be mystics in this oh so practical world. Those people who are termed ‘mystics’ try to push back the frontiers of the mind. They seek to define the soul within. Often their ideas are rejected or only accepted by a few. What is difficult is that they are not thought of as doing a job. You cannot all be mystics, you say, wasting time trying to define the indefinable. Yet when you are seeking for yourself you come and ask the full – time mystics to tell you their secrets. You ask them, ‘Who am I?’ You ask ‘What is it all about?’ and ‘Why?’ You want to understand all this without any effort on your part. You scorn the mystic, reckon he or she is wasting their time, should find a way to earn a living and not expect any help from such as yourself. Well, the mystic, luckily is usually satisfied with very little but he or she still has to survive. Remember that when you come to consult them.
When the time comes that the questions within any soul have grown to the proportions that they have become a seeker, it is to mystics, or records of mystics, that the soul turns for help, often to find, in the end, that the advice is to become a kind of mystic in themselves. Outward knowledge can only take a soul so far. The reading, research, talks and discussions with the knowledgeable always leads to the point when a personal effort has to be made to seek the truth within. That is a joyful moment if the soul accepts the task, for it will only find truth, and each soul is capable of recognising that truth. Between what it finds within and what it has learnt from without itself it is well on the way to beginning to understand its place in the universe and why it is here.
To do this does not mean giving up every waking moment of your time to meditation and study. Not to the ordinary seeker, especially the beginner, the new seeker. Your feet should always be planted firmly on your earth. As time goes by and experience grows, you may find it taking up more of your total life. If it does it is because you have realised its importance.

A Mystic, a Mother, an Artist, a Philosopher, an Intellectual, an Academic, a Thinker. A Feeler. Women and Men of Venus. Amera Ziganii Rao
A Mystic, a Mother, an Artist, (writers, painters, any artist who is an artist, rather than a creative), a Philosopher, an Intellectual, an Academic, an Inventor, a Thinker. A Feeler. Women and Men of Venus. To me, these are the so called non practical people who were so ridiculed by people I was brought up with, outside and inside the home. And indeed, I did the same. Before I realised how much I was working from a place of hate. Hate, ignorance, cruelty and sentimentality, stupidity and weakness. A Mystic is all these beautiful people described, and not someone to be ridiculed or disrespected in any way. As the planet becomes more conscious, these are the roles that are taking on more significance and getting some respect. And the roles that have always contributed the most. And the roles that have to take the most rage and hatred and even envy, from the most people, as we all struggle so much with leaving ego behind. True mothers. High Priestesses. Mystics. Healers. Male or female. I am so glad I made the journey I did and encourage everyone to be open to the same thing. Terrifying, so painful, hair raising, isolating, illness inducing, losing all external power and stuck in a liminal state, on the fringes of society. And of course, totally defending oneself forever for being thought of as just weird. But so worth it! Self esteem, true love and compassion. Wisdom. And massive courage. And power. Samurai. Love. God on earth.

To be a true woman on earth, is to be a high priestess. Heal oneself and then heal another. Share, through true motherhood the disciplines needed to be kind, to be generous and to be loving. True motherhood, I have found is to give a slap when it's needed and to give a hug when the slap has had its effect. Patriarchal tribe motherhood is sappy, quiet and fearful. True motherhood is taking in hand the ego of hell.
Patriarchal tribe motherhood is sappy, quiet and fearful. And of course, sexless and without personality. But also cruel, harsh and unkind. All ego. True motherhood is taking in hand the ego of hell. By any means necessary. Discipline and compassion, firmness, disobedience, frank talking and then again, compassion. All soul.
