Power. Amera Ziganii Rao
So that power can be obtained by the righteous. The meek can only inherit the earth fiscally. We have the gift of imagination. Entrepreneurial magnificence is imagination. Rob from the rich to feed the poor. Forget love – well, actually, you have to be violated by love first, as is our way - and then forget love and find your voice.
Do not negotiate with Fiscal Rapists™. Do not negotiate with fascism. Power is the new love. Take their money yes. By earning it all yourself. That is the only New World worth thinking about now.
Earth is a shithole and hard work. Yes. The good news is that we like hard work. We like anything that means we are not to be drowned in slavery or ex slavery or possible slavery or danger of slavery, anymore. It’s a horrendous journey, but there is no alternative. We love pigs. We leave pigs.
Earth is a place of Creators. Magicians, Alchemists, Wizards and Self Actualisers. Creators. That is what is meant by free will. We have to be fucked over, to live. That is mastering one’s destiny. To lose it. And then re-create it.
Men are Fiscal Rapists™. It is done.

The Demon Species. Amera Ziganii Rao
There is a demon species on earth. And then there are the people of earth. We are the High Priestesses and Priests. They are the others. From Mars indeed. Literally. There is also a specific group of demons targeted at women and men like me. The most physically beautiful, apparently sensitive. Our nemesis. The matched demon to the High Priestess. The sexual one.
No woman or man on earth who has ever been love dependent should ever feel ashamed or embarrassed or foolish or silly or mad for having 'loved too much'. There is an agenda on this planet that is more fantastical than even I could have imagined. I was never prophecied love in my life. I was prophecied rape. By a demon. Unfurling the clues is our job. And ugly. And sad.
That is the only possible truth of 'true love' on this planet as yet. We yearn because the yearning is real. The reality is unfortunately completely the opposite. Demons and angels indeed. And never the twain shall meet.
Yes, the purpose of earth perhaps. Integration, wholeness, happiness and companionship. Maybe. There are so many lies. But not yet. Not yet.
Love is a piece of shit as long as it is with one of them. And men and the women like them, the demons, suck. They are the Fiscal Rapists™, emotional rapists, and slave rapists. We think they love us and want to look after us. I think we got it wrong.
Sometimes, child-like simplicity is what does it. They just suck. They are yuk. We are not. It's a dry life now. But a life of love. And that has got to be worth it. No demons are welcome anymore. Ta. I am no longer bewitched. I have cast off all the demons that were sent to attack me. And they were ALL so called human. Yeah right.
Demons and angels. We are the Na'vi. They are not.

The Demons. Amera Ziganii Rao
The Demons. Those who are not 'The Na'vi' (Avatar. James Cameron). The monsters we have loved. The mob, the demons, and us. Life can only be war, self sufficiency and removal from the mob and the demons. Be spiritual. Be vocational. Be sexual.
Anything but relationship. Evil is on earth and we love it. It most certainly is a one sided affair. And for that, we can only be truly thankful in the end. No more 'rapists' allowed.

Doreen Virtue. Earth Angels
...The majority of Wise Ones whom I interviewed had vivid memories of past lives where they were witches, wizards, priests and the like. Most of the Wise Ones surveyed, had strong emotional reactions to the era of ‘witch burnings’ from the years 1300 to 1700. Many of them have full, or fragmented memories of being burned, hung, or otherwise killed for their spiritual differences. Sara, for example, says, ‘I have memories of being burned at the stake while people screamed and cursed at me. I remember being viciously tortured.’
The ‘Witch –Burning Craze’ consisted of a mass superstition that anything bad – whether spoiled crops or sick children – was caused by a witch’s spells. It was decided that the only way to purge this ‘evil’ was through the burning of the witch’s blood. Many of the witches were hunted by their neighbours, local governments, and churches. In more humane situations, they were killed before being tied to a pole and set on fire. Yet in France, Germany and Switzerland, most witches were burned alive.
Even those who weren’t actually killed have conscious memories of this time period. They remember being afraid of the Inquisition, the Knights Templar, the Cathar trials (the Cathars were a pagan group in 13th century Europe who were targeted by Pope Innocent lll and were hunted and put to death), and the other various ways in which the witch-hunts manifested. The threat of death hung over everyone during those times, and the memory makes Wise Ones nervous about fully re-opening their spiritual gifts.
As a result, many Wise Ones hold back from unleashing their great power because of these ancient memories! Yet, the reason why they’ve elected to be here at this time is to teach and use those spiritual tools. A Wise One’s purpose involves dusting off their psychic and spiritual healing abilities. And since we can only feel happy and fulfilled if we’re engaging in our purpose, then it’s necessary for Wise Ones to open and redevelop their spiritual gifts.
Doreen Virtue. Earth Angels
Leadership. Amera Ziganii Rao
Leadership as a mother, with an angry son on crack. That is what being a Sacred Whore High Priestess™ really is. What it is to love a man or woman of that kind. My twin soul. Whether they are demon to ‘Na’vi’, or just our angry and terrified brothers and sons, it’s immaterial in the end. They are the vain cowards who need help.
Which means only one thing. It is still about being battered as a wife every day. Long after the struggle for self determination in oneself has been perfected, made habit and committed to, the demand for martyrdom and being ‘raped’ and beaten up every day still remains. A sick person can only beat you by the very nature of who they are. Anyone who cannot love and who chooses power over love is sick. Therefore even legitimately, it is still about co-dependency with an addict.
He is addicted to love because he is addicted to power. Leading in love for the Sacred Whore High Priestess™ is therefore still being battered every day.
This is the rage of the journey to Divinity Compassion™. The compassion of motherhood. The compassion of priesthood. For the nearest and dearest you will ever want. This is about true love. And as Shirley Bassey says, giving your dreams all the love you can give.
Martyrdom or leadership, it is all about perspective. And it is utterly infuriating and maddening to be involved with. Sacred Whore High Priestess™ is real and the proof is this. Despite prancing around in the patriarchal nightmare of the male god terrifying everyone into religious hell and damnation, through men of course, men need women more than women need men.
I healed first. By four years so far. Need is not love. I got there first. I ascended into Soul, as I crucified myself out of an abusive background terribly wounded ego, and an orphan like craving for love (let alone the karmic memories of pain on earth) into ‘Need is not love’. I became the state of unconditional, non needing, self loving, love.
I thought that was the greatest achievement of my life. To master one’s ego is the greatest achievement of any life. But it seems I had not yet even begun. Women lead in love. Women lead in celestial love. Women lead in courage. Women lead in wisdom. Women lead in love.
Leadership as battered slave wives and daughters and mothers. That is our legacy. Our pain, immense pain and rage is to alchemise that experience, against the SAME kind of person, into love.
So loving a man for a woman, loving a man as a man, loving a woman as a man, loving a woman as a woman, High Priestess or Priest to demon/mortal/bad wizard – take your pick – is like standing in front of an ACTIVE apartheid promoting hard line Afrikaaner, like standing in front of an ACTIVE white plantation owner in the ACTIVE slave days of the southern states of America, as a black African and slave, respectively. That is what it takes to love a man. Loving a rapist.
That is Sacred Whore High Priestess™. The Divine daughters and sons. The Hierophants and the Shaman. The greatest warriors on earth. The demand for purification and compassion is endless. That is motherhood. Male or female, it is motherhood. It is priestesshood. It is Avatar.
We have to lead, but we have the memory of martyrdom, when we couldn’t lead, but tried to and were still being asked to, by the ungrateful wretches we love. And of course, the ones we didn’t love. That is our legitimate rage, being madly alchemised out of us through our extraordinarily arduous task of reclaiming The Lost Knowledge™ in ourselves, in the context of modern times, years after the programming of childhood has integrated into not only our selves but them too, so that we can heal the most disgusting, cruel, mean hearted, stupid, impenetrable and cowardly motherfuckas in existence.
Despite all that we make sure of, despite all that we ascend out of in our own sicknesses – the ones the others love to vilify and ridicule sooooo much – we still end up being battered wives. We still have to help. We still have to cleanse the soul of the most awful human being we have ever met, so they can return to the most beautiful person we have ever met. The person we loved.
It is still about being a battered wife and it is still about co-dependency with a sick adult and it is still about having to do your own work ‘in secret’ because he actively and aggressively hates the fact that you don’t want to be a limpid partner stuck to his own cowardice, escapism and cruelty of choosing power over love.
It is still about the agonising rage of feeling like the daughter who comes second best to the beloved son and she has to keep helping the son, because everyone tells her he is so important. It is still about being used and this time it’s our Mother. This time it’s the fucking Universe. The family reflects The Universe. These are the ingredients of Divine Ascension. The next level. The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ Avatar level.
Spiritual leadership, in the home and outside the home. The Return.
So this martyrdom/leadership/serving The Universe, has to go on alongside the ATTACKED activity of our own self determination in the face of Fiscal Rape™ and complete objectification, and mad Ownership Psychosis™. The only good news, if you’re lucky, is that he’s far away. It also means that vocation becomes your FIRST love. He has made sure he comes second, forever, because he's still a pig.
Psychically though, that is about as relevant as a block of wood. As any potential Sacred Whore High Priestess™ or Priest well knows.
And that is the beauty of it. The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ ascension and training and journey creates psychic power. I won’t even say to what levels. Knowledge strengthens that psychic power all over again. This is The Lost Knowledge™. As these gifts get bigger, the demand for feeling them all gets bigger. That is only more pain. One’s son is on crack and off the planet and we have to carry it, just like a mother.
Demons indeed. Saints indeed. Frustrated martyrs absolutely. Battered wives, certainly. This time it’s legitimate.
The Sacred Whore High Priestess Society™. Fucking hard work. The demons can after all be saved. Shit. That demands love. Again. Wisdom means there is no other choice. Even if he is now the last thing that could ever be compared to bliss ever again. The ring bearer’s task. Get the job done. How, is the skill. When, who the fuck knows, if, who the fuck knows.
Once love dependency meant being addicted to love and self castrated about my vocational muscles, even though I had no idea why. Now, post love dependency, life is completely not those things. It is however, still abjectly lonely, cruel, cold, selfish and a life of rape.
I am still being forced (my inner, higher self) to help a Fiscal Rapist™ who gives nothing but resentment and hate. And above all, need.
That is Shaman. Maybe that’s why women believe in religion. Because life is so shit, god must be male. Wrong. Life is so shit, that God can only be Female. We are Her soldiers. We are Her leaders. That’s why we get to be Maximus (Ridley Scott’s Gladiator) and they get to be Commodus (the fascist emperor). All heroic journey is female. We belong to Her. And we have to bring the other motherfuckas home. By stabbing them in the throat. With love.
The truth of true love.

Friendship. Amera Ziganii Rao
Ultimately though, there is one requirement for anyone leading in anything. Non attachment and tolerance and friendship. The demand for unity for two people is a spiritual demand, that frankly, freaks out the Priestess or Priest as much as the other and in that is the healing across the board. We all have our part to play in any dynamic. Non attachment is the most difficult thing for anyone who visualises or sees.
Non attachment is courage as well as grace. Non attachment is trust. Trust in the process. Trust in the will of the other, to match one’s own. Trust. Non attachment is also the greatest demand for true spiritual or emotional evolution. Why none of us are at the harvest, before we are at the harvest. The harvest being one’s redemption finale. Non attachment for the seer. Accepting where we are, who we are, what we are doing and why. Accepting that trust is the goal and partnership is a specific path with skills all of its own. And that despite all the wounds and hurts and stabbings, we do want to see the new dawn and we do want to see it with that other. That takes non attachment for leadership and will and ambition for the follower. Alchemy is balancing up the team. Non attachment is the demand for the Sacred Whore High Priestess™.
In other words, to be the legitimate love martyr, after all. Hence our struggle with rage, pain, fear, terror and the past. Healthy life is a freaky twisted version of the same thing. An unhealthy life. That is the healing and The Lost Knowledge™. Grace is generic. Locked in the tower like Rapunzel and waiting for her rescuer, once she’s grown her hair long enough. The hair is wisdom. The length of it is grace. The length of it her power, her skill and her love.
Freedom fighter, self determination master and martyr at the same time. And all for love. The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ or Priest indeed. As Ray Charles says, ‘soul is a way of life, but it is always the hard way’. The truth is though that it is worth it. The rage is in accepting what it takes. Grace is the evolution of that rage. Grace is the love. Wisdom the drug. Success the drive. Non attachment the demand. And in that beginning to re-find trust.
Unity is not easy. Unity is a process.

“I’m sorry my butt has dropped four inches but my brain is elevated.” Sharon Stone on her own experience of her transition from budding starlet to sex queen to film producer.
Russell Crowe. The Biography. Tim Ewbank and Stafford Hildred
At the very point when Russell was trying to break into Hollywood big time, he won the largely unsolicited support of an actress who was not only regarded as one of the world’s great screen sex symbols, but who was a woman newly enjoying the ability to flex her now considerable muscle among the movie power-brokers after years of Hollywood mistreatment, which had occasionally bordered on humiliation and ridicule.
Thanks to the phenomenal world-wide success of the sexually charged thriller Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone was, by the mid-1990s, one of the most bankable movie stars in the world. And with that status went the ability to call the shots – at last. She was ready to reinvent herself as a movie producer and she wanted Russell Crowe in her movie. Even if she didn’t know much about Russell Crowe at that point, Stone knew all about re-inventing herself. She’d done it very successfully once before.
As a teenager spending half her day in a special school for gifted children, it was Sharon’s brain that had been remarkable, not her looks. She was skinny, wore thick glasses and hated the way she looked. “I just wanted to fit in,” she recalls, “to be like other girls and get a date. Then I realised I could re-invent myself. I wasn’t born beautiful but I learned how to make myself a lot more attractive. I bought all the fashion magazines, gained weight, bought tight jeans and high heels, got contact lenses, dyed my hair and went off to college.”
The all-new Ms Stone won a local beauty contest, which led to a modelling contract in New York for $500 a day and provided a way into movies. But movie fame and acclaim with Basic Instinct had arrived at the age of thirty-three, comparatively late for the actress. Now, realising she had to move on from being regarded as just a sex symbol, she was turning her hand to movie producing for the first time with a project called The Quick And The Dead. This was a western in which she would play the leading role of a raunchy gunslinger seeking revenge for the death of her father.
What intrigued many, infuriated not a few and aroused the jealousy of others in a male-dominated Hollywood, was that Stone not only wanted the then little-known Russell Crowe to be given a star part in her movie as her romantic lead, but that she was also prepared to fight for what she believed in and dig her stiletto heels in deep until she got her way. She certainly believed in Russell Crowe, and when he got the call indicating she would like to lock her lips with his as her love interest in The Quick And The Dead, who was he to say no?
But who was this Russell Crowe? And why was Sharon Stone making such a stand for him? These were the questions frequently asked around the film studios as Stone considered whom she might cast as her co-stars in her $35 million movie. The answer, quite simply, was that once Stone had met Russell Crowe she found him excitingly masculine as a man, and when she reviewed his work as an actor she believed Russell had real ability and the potential to be a major movie star. Of this she was adamant, while the studio continually voiced their doubts.
What is certain is that Russell’s Hollywood movie career might never have happened had Sharon Stone not shown such belief in him and used her influence to back him when the odds were so heavily stacked against him.
Tim Ewbank and Stafford Hildred
He couldn’t help but admire (Sharon) Stone’s whole-hearted approach to filming. She willingly spent several draining, uncomfortable days bespattered with thick mud, her hair dirtied, greasy and dishevelled, and wearing a wet suit under her frontiers-women outfits and plastic bags on her feet so she could pad through the wet after a downpour. Russell liked the way she talked his plain language too and enjoyed a laugh. “Your penis has been shot off,”, she jokingly yelled at one of the fallen protagonists whose nether regions were being copiously coated in fake blood.
Russell warmed to her further when one morning Stone arrived on the set and asked him what plans he had for Christmas day, which was fast approaching. The festive break would be too short for Russell to travel far from Tucson and he told her there was nothing special in the offing. “Then why don’t you come with me to the Salvation Army?” she suggested.
Russell later recalled: “So we spend Christmas morning serving food at the Salvation Army. And from there we went to a home for battered children. We just played with the kids, gave them presents. You look into the eyes of a woman like that, what she could be doing with Christmas Day, and you realise what she is doing on Christmas Day and she is still in that single percentage of actresses who know what glamour is and what being a movie star is all about. Man, I’m a big supporter of hers. I think she’s a great person.”

Sex Pt ll (ll). A Self Portrait
I loved you, so I drew these tides of men into my hands
And wrote my will across the sky in stars,
To earn you Freedom, the seven pillared worthy house,
That your eyes might be shining for me When we came.
Death seemed my servant on the road, till we were near and saw you waiting:
When you smiled, and in sorrowful envy he outran me and took you apart: Into his quietness.
Love, the way-weary, groped to your body, our brief wage ours for the moment
Before earth’s soft hand explored your shape, and the blind worms grew fat upon Your substance.
Men prayed me that I set our work, the inviolate house, as a memory of you.
But for fit monument I shattered it, unfinished: and now The little things creep out to patch themselves hovels in the marred shadow Of your gift.
T.E. Lawrence
They’re still trying to lock me up all the time. The only things I’ve been arrested for, it turns out, are the things I didn’t do...There’s just a general feeling that I shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it. I’ve been pretty careful about trying to urge people who cannot live outside the law to kick off their traces and run amuck. Some people are not made for it. I was a juvenile delinquent. I was the Billy the Kid of Louisville. It’s simple: I believed I was a writer. I knew I had to be a writer because I was not good at anything else. I survived by making literature out of what might otherwise be seen as craziness.

Walt Whitman
The wife—and she is not one jot less than the husband, the daughter—and she is just as good as the son, the mother—and she is every bit as much as the father. Walt Whitman
Walter "Walt" Whitman (May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. His work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality.
Born on Long Island, Whitman worked as a journalist, a teacher, a government clerk, and—in addition to publishing his poetry—was a volunteer nurse during the American Civil War. Early in his career, he also produced a temperance novel, Franklin Evans (1842). Whitman's major work, Leaves of Grass, was first published in 1855 with his own money. The work was an attempt at reaching out to the common person with an American epic. He continued expanding and revising it until his death in 1892. After a stroke towards the end of his life, he moved to Camden, New Jersey, where his health further declined. He died at age 72 and his funeral became a public spectacle.........
......Whitman claimed that after years of competing for "the usual rewards", he determined to become a poet. He first experimented with a variety of popular literary genres which appealed to the cultural tastes of the period. As early as 1850, he began writing what would become Leaves of Grass, a collection of poetry which he would continue editing and revising until his death. Whitman intended to write a distinctly American epic and used free verse with a cadence based on the Bible.
At the end of June 1855, Whitman surprised his brothers with the already-printed first edition of Leaves of Grass. George "didn't think it worth reading".

Women's Leadership
....The particular qualities of women's leadership take on a new significance and new power in today's world. I believe that the strengths women possess and the behaviors that set them apart will lead us forward in the coming years: collaboration, conviction, inclusiveness, creativity, and mentorship.
Women are an emerging force for leadership. From the International Monetary Fund to the African Union, women are assuming superior leadership positions in organizations with internationally significant mandates. If we invest in the development of a critical mass of rising leaders and the communities they lead, efforts to spread peace and prosperity can have a potentially exponential reach.
The women I have known in my work with Vital Voices Global Partnership are pursuing equitable, inter-generational, sustainable progress. They are pragmatists. They are visionaries. They're not waiting for economic recovery or democratization--they are actively creating the future they imagine for their families and countries.
If we have the courage to accept that our current crises afford us the opportunity to do things differently, if we recognize the value of women's leadership power and enlist women as partners in the redesign and reconstruction of broken systems, we can activate a global reset that accrues to the benefit of our shared global community.

Alchemy & Liberation & Humanity™. Amera Ziganii Rao
I believe in the human capacity to change and evolve into the best we can be and to re-programme the mind from any state to another, even from the lowest emotional intelligence you can possibly think of, to the highest emotional intelligence you’ve never thought was actually possible. The process is real and attainable by everyone. Whatever background, experiences, teachings or life that we come from.
The process of alchemy works and I do not ask anything of anyone that I have not done and do not continue to do myself. The mind is infinite and the human soul is real. Whether you believe in God or not, the higher mind is real and the inner heart is real. And universal intelligence is most certainly real. This is alchemy. And it is available to all.
The mind is our playground and personal genius computer, if we put the work in. The rest is education and re-programming. As adults, forever. This is God on Earth. Re-creation. Us. And for those of us who are spiritual, this is co-creation. Human and Divine. Everything is up to us, whether you believe in the unseen or not. This is mastering one’s destiny. Changing. Evolving. Becoming.

What is Shamanism. Peter Calhoun
Today the archetype of the shaman is emerging out of the shadowy past and from the murky depths of the collective unconscious into the clear light of conscious awareness. Shamanism is the most earth-friendly system in existence and, therefore, it may be the most relevant path for our age. It is by far the most practical since it evolved out of the survival needs of our species from its earliest times. It may once again hold the keys to our survival as a species.
Shamanism is not another religion or system of belief; it is a way of perceiving and relating to the wondrous world around us. It is the original source out of which all the religions and systems of knowledge evolved. As a path of growth, however, it is complete in itself and can provide a powerful foundation for one’s life and spiritual practices. I do not believe that any one religion or system of knowledge is superior to another, nor do I think that shamanism is better than Christianity.
Mastery of the Forces of Nature and the Powers Within
One goal of the ancient shamans was mastery of the four elements of earth, air, fire, and water within one’s self. Each element provides certain powers. The element earth gives one the power to ground and manifest things in the physical world. It is the element of the practical. The element air is the element of freedom of movement and expansion, and rules the mental realm. Fire is the element of activity, transmutation and change. It rules our passions and inspiration. Water is the element of dreaming, memory and the past. It rules feelings and intuition.
It was recognized that there is a direct relationship between one’s ability to control the outer world and personal inner world. The degree of inner mastery was often measured by the ability to influence or control the physical counterparts of earth, air, fire and water. Tests were often set up to demonstrate control of the wind, the water spirits, fire spirits, or earth elementals. Although few achieved complete mastery over all four elements, there were many who were able to demonstrate prodigious feats of consciousness and power in some form of mastery of one or more elements.
A more pragmatic reason for controlling an elemental force also exists. Shamans were often called upon to restore balance, not only for the community or tribe, but also for the natural world and all of its non human representatives. A shaman was given the task of making sure there was rain or sunshine when it was needed, that crops would grow, medicinal herbs could be found, and that deer, elk or buffalo would be in the right place at the right time. The shaman would also need a mastery of the elements to know if a person experiencing an illness had a particular element was out of balance, so she could use her knowledge to help the person return to health.
Shamans never perceived the power of command over the elements as belonging to themselves. They recognized that they were simply mediators between the visible and invisible worlds. When invoking such powerful forces, one had to use great discretion and careful discernment. It is a cardinal rule that one does not arbitrarily invoke these elemental powers, lest one inadvertently unleash energies beyond one’s control. The practitioner must have a valid need. One’s motives must be pure and never rooted in self gain or self aggrandizement. The shaman herself must be in a state of balance. Otherwise such forces, like floodwaters, could run rampant, creating chaos not only for the practitioner, but for those around her as well.
Universality of Shamanic Principles
These timeless truths are applicable to all people of any culture or age. The knowledge of this ancient system can complement and enhance all paths, both ancient and contemporary.

Candide. Voltaire
Candide, ou l'Optimisme is a French satire first published in 1759 by Voltaire, a philosopher of the Age of Enlightenment. The novella has been widely translated, with English versions titled Candide: or, All for the Best (1759); Candide: or, The Optimist (1762); and Candide: or, Optimism (1947).
It begins with a young man, Candide, who is living a sheltered life in an Edenic paradise and being indoctrinated with Leibnizian optimism (or simply Optimism) by his mentor, Pangloss. The work describes the abrupt cessation of this lifestyle, followed by Candide's slow, painful disillusionment as he witnesses and experiences great hardships in the world. Voltaire concludes with Candide, if not rejecting optimism outright, advocating a deeply practical precept, "we must cultivate our garden", in lieu of the Leibnizian mantra of Pangloss, "all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds".
Candide is characterised by its sarcastic tone, as well as by its erratic, fantastical and fast-moving plot. A picaresque novel with a story similar to that of a more serious bildungsroman, it parodies many adventure and romance clichés, the struggles of which are caricatured in a tone that is mordantly matter-of-fact. Still, the events discussed are often based on historical happenings, such as the Seven Years' War and the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. As philosophers of Voltaire's day contended with the problem of evil, so too does Candide in this short novel, albeit more directly and humorously. Voltaire ridicules religion, theologians, governments, armies, philosophies, and philosophers through allegory; most conspicuously, he assaults Leibniz and his optimism.
As expected by Voltaire, Candide has enjoyed both great success and great scandal. Immediately after its secretive publication, the book was widely banned because it contained religious blasphemy, political sedition and intellectual hostility hidden under a thin veil of naïveté.
However, with its sharp wit and insightful portrayal of the human condition, the novel has since inspired many later authors and artists to mimic and adapt it. Today, Candide is recognised as Voltaire's magnum opus and is often listed as part of the Western canon; it is arguably taught more than any other work of French literature.

The Propaganda Machine. Amera Ziganii Rao

Anais Pt lll. A Self Portrait
The Wolverine
Hugh Jackman shows no signs of slowing down, despite his record-breaking turn as Wolverine. The Wolverine makrs the Australian’s sixth big-screen outing as Logan – a record for an actor playing a superhero. Next year’s eagerly anticipated X-Men:Days of Future Past takes the tally to seven, yet Jackman – now 44 – still approaches the iconic role with more gusto and zeal than ever before......
......I’ve always loved playing this character, but I have always thought: “I wish I had gone a little bit further physically with him,” Jackman confesses. “This script gave me an opportunity to go further emotionally than I’ve ever been, and I wanted to do the same thing physically....
.......”I have always portrayed Wolverine as a street fighter and a pub brawler”, says Jackman. “His style is not pretty – he doesn’t want to hang around and jab at you, he just wants to take your head off in three seconds and move on. His fighting style is not studied in any way. But one of the great things about this story is that when he comes to Japan, he starts to really take that kind of discipline and training to heart.
“I was training every day, and let me tell you – I thought the gym work was hard, but training on the martial arts floor is 10 times harder.”
The Wolverine sees Logan offered the chance to become mortal, which in turn sees him more exposed. “You will see Logan more vulnerable, more at risk and more of a monster than you’ve ever seen him before”, explains Jackman. “He’s struggling with identity, he’s struggling with his reason to exist, and now he faces the ultimate choice of whether or not to embrace his true nature.”

Avatar. The Supergods. Amera Ziganii Rao
The Supergods. The highest achievers, the loudest and most entertaining givers, the ones we all study, if we know what’s good for us. The Alchemists. Whether we are recognised or not, professional or not, skilled in our skills or not, fiscally rewarded or not, people recognition rewarded or not, materially achieving or not, crafted or not, trained or not, BECOME or not, we are all the same group. It is now known.
Supergod is clearly the highest level of The Return to The Source. When things flow, basically. The levels of Supergod within Supergod though are complex, generic, specific and detailed. And I feel, take lifetimes to achieve. The jealousies, the battles, the vying for control, the out of nowhere attacks from certain kinds of human beings, the strange tortuous family backgrounds and relationship arenas we seem to be obsessed and afflicted by, while others ‘just get on with it’, no matter what, either as Supergods or as prosaic slaves, these are all from the different levels we are. Within the same group.
The rest is Ascension. The group is Avatar. Na’vi or Wolverine, let’s say in this new dawn, we are all Avatar. Nobel Prize winning or unemployed, we are the same group. Misogynist or chattel, ex slave or ex slaver, we are all Avatar.
In other words, Love Wizards™ and War Wizards™. The truth of the Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and the Earth King™. Graduated Avatar. Ascended Master is being both.
Training for a Love Wizard™ is therefore training in human rights for a person of love, sensuality, compliance, gentility, over dynamism, suppressed expression and action, and humanitarianism. Training for a War Wizard™ is therefore training in human rights for a person of harshness, anger, control, over dynamism, suppressed expression and action, and autocracy. A person of violence. Covering up the same kind of human. Avatar. And then of course, all the other stuff too, in the same. We are all on the path to purify. What purification is, is the question.
The two however, first and last to celebrate today, are from the same group. We are the people of Earth, maybe even ‘The Curse of Ham’. And many other sinister interpretations I am sure. Russell Crowe – Avatar – is currently filming Noah. There are no coincidences. Hugh Jackman –Avatar - is filming Wolverine. And so on. Jeremy Paxman – Avatar – is still nobly representing in the belly of the beast at BBC News. And so on. Misogynist or not, Ownership Psychosis behind closed doors or not, female slavers or not, they are Avatar, just like us. The battle is truly at the top level. No one else is aware and that’s the proof.
James Cameron’s Avatar showed the world we already live in and we did not get rid of them. They are in control. Neytiri is the realised Love and War Wizard™. The leader of the field. The Jake Sully – the healed, de-castrated and wisdom realised Wolverine - was healed and is healing in me – the permanent Ascension until death - before it is being healed in him. Neytiri has to heal herself first, before she takes on Jake Sully in another. But the Love Wizard™, female or male, is the leader in love, TO BECOME A LEADER IN WAR. While he (she) becomes a leader in love. The truth of ‘being wooed’. Transcension is no courtship. Transcension is medical treatment by Hierophant. Avatar work. Love Avatar™ work, available to all.
In a world where war, animalism, rage, anger, passion and anything over a certain temperature (the usual temperature of the UK) are regarded as anti social and extreme, celebrate the extreme path of pain we are all on. Ownership Psychosis™, loving too much, Love Dependency Psychosis™, being castrated emotionally from fulfilment and feeling like you are even winning at all, not understanding why the process is so long, not understanding why you feel like the slowest achiever, you’re on the right track. Wolvering or Na’vi, we are all Na’vi. We are all Avatar.

We walked as kings and queens once. We walked in fact, as female and male queens. And then something happened. I am back. Now we wait patiently for you to remember too. Don’t worry. I’ll help. Hierophant is here to help. Hierophant is female monarchy. Hierophant warrior is female completion. Hierophant care is the luxury of peace.
Greatness brings responsibility. Becoming, means you can do something with it. Becoming, means you can love with it. Becoming, means you can live with it and becoming means you can lead with it. Greatness brings responsibility. Greatness takes greatness. Greatness is skill. Greatness is humility. Greatness is time. Greatness is self forgiveness and greatness is accepting it. Greatness is The Return. Greatness takes everything.

Adult Underachievement
“Without explicit demands and support, being labeled ‘bright’ or ‘gifted’ is akin to being conferred an aristocratic lineage — a heritage that exists independently of what you do with it.
“The difference is that the labels ‘bright’ and ‘gifted’ come with implicit demands, and when appropriate explicit demands are lacking, the labels sit there like ticking bombs.
“On the one hand, these labels tell you that merely being bright or talented is enough, but on the other hand, the longer you go being praised for talent alone, the more anxious you become about the time when you will be required to deliver.”
Kenneth Christian
“As creator and innovator, one is required to prove the commitment to one’s pursuits, the power of one’s will and courage to create. After a while reality relents and you are allowed to cross the threshold into new creation.”

The HIStory of the world. Amera Ziganii Rao
Women were the payoff. The bounty for committing to a new way of life. War for the new masters. After Noah, there were new masters and you began to serve them and you still do. Women were the bounty, the toys, the prizes, the breeders and the playthings. The wonderful and adoring slave women promised to you as men in all religions, while women don’t even get access to the thing you call heaven, let alone have legions of male lovers looking after us.
All lies. Political, propaganda led, dog and a bone, simple minded brainwashing. You carry a subconscious belief that women are your right because you serve the agenda of your forefathers. Indeed. I don’t. I won’t and nor will any real egalitarian. Hence our job to tell you. We didn’t get that promise. We were just told to take our clothes off. Forever.
The warmonger ‘coming in from the cold’. Soldiers to Satan. We don’t want to be your war bounty anymore. We are not a liability, a war present, part of your salary, or yours in any way, other than in one human caring for another by loving. We are not to be owned, we are to be possessed. Possession is love. Ownership is slavery.
We don’t want to be your war bounty anymore. We want to be your friends. Friendship and not the scrap of sexual meat thrown to you in your gilded cage, after a hard day’s ‘work’. That, in your language, is love. A long path, but the clarity is required at each step. The brainwashing may have been simple, but it is endless, endemic, and the poison that is our daily world. Women are not your war bounty. They lied.

We are as forlorn as children lost in the woods. When you stand in front of me and look at me, what do you know of the griefs that are in me and what do I know of yours. And if I were to cast myself down before you and weep and tell you, what more would you know about me than you know about Hell when someone tells you it is hot and dreadful? For that reason alone we human beings ought to stand before one another as reverently, as reflectively, as lovingly, as we would before the entrance to Hell.

Ego. Jean Paul Sartre
‘I should like to show here that the Ego is neither formally or materially in consciousness: it is outside, in the world.’
Jean-Paul Sartre
The Transcendence of the Ego is one of Jean-Paul Sartre's earliest philosophical publications and essential for understanding the trajectory of his work as a whole. When it first appeared in France in 1937 Sartre was still largely unknown, working as a school teacher in a provincial French town.
Attacking prevailing philosophical theories head on, Sartre offers a brilliant and radical account of the self as a product of consciousness, situated in the world. He introduces many of the themes central to his major work, Being and Nothingness: the nature of consciousness, the problem of self-knowledge, other minds, and anguish.

Nausea. Jean Paul Sartre
Jean-Paul Sartre's first published novel, Nausea is both an extended essay on existentialist ideals, and a profound fictional exploration of a man struggling to restore a sense of meaning to his life.
Nausea is both the story of the troubled life of an introspective historian, Antoine Roquentin, and an exposition of one of the most influential and significant philosophical attitudes of modern times - existentialism. The book chronicles his struggle with the realisation that he is an entirely free agent in a world devoid of meaning; a world in which he must find his own purpose and then take total responsibility for his choices. A seminal work of contemporary literary philosophy, Nausea evokes and examines the dizzying angst that can come from simply trying to live.
Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) was an iconoclastic French philosopher, novelist, playwright and, widely regarded as the central figure in post-war European culture and political thinking. Sartre famously refused the Nobel Prize for literature in 1964 on the grounds that 'a writer should not allow himself to be turned into an institution'. His most well-known works, all of which are published by Penguin, include The Age of Reason, Nausea and Iron in the Soul.

Jane Fonda. My Life So Far
'There are always regrets in life, among them things we've done that we wish we could take back and erase. I have significant ones that will haunt me forever and which I hope I have been brave enough to confront in this book.'
So says Jane Fonda in the preface to 'My Life So Far', a powerful account of an extraordinary woman.
Oscar winner, controversial political activist, groundbreaking fitness guru, wife, mother, lover, philanthropist - just some of the roles Fonda is known for. In this candid book, written by Fonda herself, there are messages for women of all ages as she holds a mirror up to her own life but lets us see ours reflected there.
Now in her 60s, Fonda looks back over her life but also looks forward to the future. With unflinching honesty she addresses among other things, her tragic relationship with her mother; her tortured one with her father, her lovers and husbands, her passions and political views.
"Since reading this book I have been unable to get Jane Fonda out of my head. She is a remarkable woman." The Daily Telegraph
"This book redefines autobiography. It's not just an autobiography, it's a journey" Lord Putnam

Brida by Paulo Coelho. A Short Excerpt
....one of the great secrets of magic: the Soulmate. The whole of man’s life on the face of the Earth can be summed up by that search for his Soulmate. He may pretend to be running after wisdom, money or power, but none of that matters. Whatever he achieves will be incomplete if he fails to find his Soulmate....In the Night of Time, when we were separated, one of those parts was charged with nurturing and maintaining knowledge: man. He went on to understand agriculture, nature and the movements of the stars in the sky.
Knowledge was always the power that kept the Universe in its place and the stars turning in their orbits. That was the glory of man – to nurture and maintain knowledge. And that is why the whole human race has survived. To women was given something far more subtle and fragile, but without which knowledge makes no sense at all, and that thing was transformation. The man left the soil fertile, we sowed seeds, and the soil was transformed into trees and plants.
The soil needs the seed and the seed needs the soil. The one only has meaning with the other. It is the same thing with human beings. When male knowledge joins with female transformation, then the great magical union is created, and its name is Wisdom. Wisdom means both to know and to transform.

One of the first signs of the beginnings of understanding is the wish to die. This life appears unbearable, another unattainable. One is no longer ashamed of wanting to die; one asks to be moved from the old cell, which one hates, to a new one, which one will only in time come to hate. Franz Kafka
A cage went in search of a bird. Franz Kafka
Notes From Underground. Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Notes from Underground is an novella by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Notes is considered by many to be the first existentialist novel. It presents itself as an excerpt from the rambling memoirs of a bitter, isolated, unnamed narrator (generally referred to by critics as the Underground Man) who is a retired civil servant living in St. Petersburg.
The first part of the story is told in monologue form, or the underground man's diary, and attacks emerging Western philosophy, especially Nikolay Chernyshevsky's What Is to Be Done?.
The second part of the book is called "Àpropos of the Wet Snow," and describes certain events that, it seems, are destroying and sometimes renewing the underground man, who acts as a first person, unreliable narrator.
Like many of Dostoyevsky's novels, Notes from Underground was unpopular with Soviet literary critics due to its explicit rejection of utopian socialism and its portrait of humans as irrational, uncontrollable, and uncooperative.

Bandit Queen
...Phoolan is exposed to some sexual and exploitative abuses, including the caste system. (Phoolan's family as well as Puttilal's family belong to the lower ranked Mallah sub caste; the higher ranked Thakur caste takes the lead in social and political situations.) Puttilal is physically and sexually abusive, and Phoolan eventually runs away and returns home. As Phoolan grows older, she faces incidents of (non-consensual) fondling and groping from the Thakur men (whose parents make up the panchayat or village government). At the next town meeting, the panchayat wield their patriarhcal authority to banish Phoolan from the village, since she will not consent to the sexual advances of the higher caste males, who treat her like sub-human chattel.....
.....Phoolan Devi (Phulan Devi, Hindi: फूलन देवी) (10 August 1963 – 25 July 2001), popularly known as the "Bandit Queen", was an Indian dacoit, and later a politician.
Devi was responsible for the Behmai massacre of 1981 that killed 22 villagers. She later surrendered and was tried for complicity in over 30 instances of murder and numerous other crimes.
The state government, in a controversial act, withdrew all cases against her, and Devi, who had remained in jail for 11 years during the pendency of the trials, was released.
She then contested elections as a candidate of the Samajwadi Party, whose government had withdrawn the cases against her, and was elected to parliament. In 2001, she was murdered by former rival bandits.
The 1994 film Bandit Queen was based on her life.

Question & Answer
Karen Conradsen: If its healing & freedom I'm working toward then I should also study what inhibits it not just what enhances it . One would suspect - both sides to the coin.
AZR: That is indeed, my message. Warrior spirituality. Never ignore the shadow. The ignored shadow dominates us without us knowing. Until we know it. My work will address the shadow from the beginning.
Meanwhile, I can tell you that the process of therapy is to find out what limits us, as is Neuro Linguistic Programming, which my own work is based on, or Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. All these processes, either by yourself or with another person, a practitioner, are to find out what are your detailed limiting beliefs or decisions, that you unconsciously made about life a very long time ago.
Anthony Robbins, through to Christopher Howard through to Wayne Dyer are all in the market with their programmes and education. Alchemy & Liberation™ is a skill. NLP is a good place to start, just to find out what it is. The mind needs preparation before this process, because as you can tell, it takes a great deal of emotional pain, to heal emotions. To know what they are and to master them.
Ego is the emotional shadow and it is also the emotional tool. Mastery is knowing which is which. All mentalist programmes and re-educating ourselves as you say, has to include the exploration of the dark. As I have been showing, Voltaire through to Sartre through to Beckett through to Kafka. Happiness is not ignoring the dark. Happiness is transcending the horror. And that includes first and foremost, what is going on inside of oneself. The place no one wants to go and no one is taught to know.

The Company.
Writer, Speaker and Enlightener, Amera Ziganii Rao, is now putting together a comprehensive and unique programme of Alchemy & Liberation & Humanity™. A programme of learning that is specifically about one particular kind of woman. And one particular kind of man. The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and the Sacred Whore High Priest™, and the true society that they come from and the one they, in particular, she can and has to return to and that anyone can join her and him in. This is about Paradise on Earth.
This is about The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and the Sacred Whore High Priest™, and the Alchemy and Liberation and Humanity that is for all as a result of their healing and in particular, hers. This is about the kind of woman who is at the bottom of the pile in a Patriarchal Toilet Tribe from Hell Society™, the norm, the conventional world and the world of the Tribe. This is about the kind of man who is next in line from the bottom. The sensitive man and the female chattel. The High Priestess and High Priest of a profane society, that has long forgotten who they are.
This is about being at the bottom of the pile, for the forgotten and strangled shamans, and for her, the story of escape. Abused by her family, her friends, her men, her whole society, by the very nature of who she is and who they are and what has happened on this Earth. It is about women of love, of Spirit and of sex. It is about men of love, of Spirit and of sex. It is about the Cinderellas of this world. It is about the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™. Who she is and how, loving her is the secret to Paradise on Earth and how we have been living a lie for 8000+ years. A lie of male (non High Priest) religion with a male ‘God’ and with Patriarchs and Patriarchal types and Matriarchs and Matriarchal types ruling over us and making our lives hell, all in the name of family, the tribe and the way things are and should remain. Hate, fascism and profanity. A sick society that vilifies, more than anyone else, the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™, just because it was told to. A sick society that calls her Eve. A sick society that has forgotten who we all are, let alone the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and the Sacred Whore High Priest™. This is about us remembering and knowing who WE are.
This is a programme of healing for the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™, and the Sacred Whore High Priest™, to take them and particularly, her, from monstrous levels of low self esteem and lack of self knowledge, back to herself and it is a programme for all those who truly want to love her, and indeed, him. This is a programme for the greatest carers on Earth, who are vilified, destroyed, ridiculed, ignored, abused, used, misused and hated for being everything that those who would steal from us are not. This is a programme to turn Cinderellas into The Sacred Whore High Priestesses and for anyone who wants to love her or live by the values of the The Sacred Whore High Priestess Society™. And this is a programme to turn sensitive men into Sacred Whore High Priests™ and for anyone who wants to love him and live by the values of the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and High Priest Society. Love, humanity, Spirit and sex. This is a programme to reverse 8000+ years of witch burning, women hating and healer ridicule. This is about the The Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and all those who would love her and live by her values.
This is about the chance for Paradise on Earth. This is a programme for the most beautiful, kind hearted, wounded women and men on this planet. A programme of how to implement a system of how to beat life, how to survive life and how to resurrect from the grief that is a true life. Alchemy and Liberation and Humanity of the lower mind into the higher mind, the soul and the inner heart and therefore one's true, confident, ‘happy’, successful, creative, sexual, sensual, individual, intelligent, emotionally healed, capable of loving and being loved self. How to turn grief into creation and survive and thrive, despite all the shit, all the pain and all the hurt. How to live in a world of madness, hollowness and cruelty and how to be a winner. How to stand up for oneself and to take back the power that has been stolen from anyone with heart, Spirit and sex. The art and science of Alchemy.
This is a programme, based on my scholarly and non scholarly work over 15 years (so far), if not for my whole life, and my extensive and intense, visceral experiences of self transformation from resignation, cynicism and despair to a state of relative bliss, and above all, the right to be. The programme and the courses and my speaking and indeed my forthcoming book, will cover the method of change. The psychological, sociological, spiritual, cultural, political, emotional and physical and even anthropological methods of change. Why we are here. Who the Sacred Whore High Priestess™ is and why she is here. And who the Sacred Whore High Priest™ is. Why we are here. Who we are and what we are and why we are. The beauty and glory of the truth. The meaning of life, no less. This will be on offer in the future.
My first book of consciousness, my first book of the spiritual politics of humanity, of authentic power and of self love and strength. A comprehensive series of online courses, live events and audio and visual material. Books, live events, CDs and DVDs. And one on one personal empowerment consultations. The Amera Ziganii Rao Method of Change™. The right to be and the way to have the right to be. And indeed, how to maintain the will to live without love. How to BE unconditional, self sufficient, self caring, self love. The right to be and the will to be and the unparalleled success that comes with that. The Lost Knowledge™. HOW to live. And how to heal others, the profane and the sick and the soulless. The others. My Business and that of any Sacred Whore High Priestess™ and Sacred Whore High Priest™, is Human Rights, The Right to a Sexual Society, Self Actualisation and Freedom.
My Business is To Overthrow Fascism, in the Home and in the Country. My business is also mastering destiny. Overthrowing the ultimate 'fascism'. Our journey on Earth and The Return To The Source. Our healing, our ascension and our redemption. Fate. The daily crucifixions of a true life, the challenges and the fury of being healers and people of love on a planet like Earth.
Submitting to the journey to liberate and evolve oneself, through following one's heart, however much heartbreak and devastation it leads to on the long long long journey to freedom and then the longer journey to happiness. 'Long Road to Freedom', as Nelson Mandela says. My business is always taking risks, never giving up and making the endless sacrifices it takes to become whole. Enlightenment, Nirvana and then Parinirvana and beyond. My business is pain. My business is bliss.
My business is seeing the truly glory of Spirit on Earth. The Sacred Whore High Priestess Society™ and all that it is. Spirit, humanity, sex and love again at last. And the end of our legacy as either servants or witches or unpaid carers or indeed, ignored mistresses, other women, other men even, and the weirdos that are at the bottom of society. This is our world and it is time to take it back and I can show you how. And that makes my life, truly, worth living.
I want you to feel the way I do. Alive, with the right to be and the belligerence to exist in this profane and male ‘God’ led world of male supremacy, female supremacy, domestic, casual fascism, tribe rules from hell, with beautiful and kind, love intelligence laden, female and male Cinderella warriors at the bottom, caring for everyone else and getting nothing but hatred, ridicule and isolation for it. The meek are already inheriting the Earth and I can show you how.

I am THE High Priestess Monarch of the ancient past and I forgive you for becoming enslaved and taken over by the machines of the alien reptile force that invaded and took over Earth 8000 years ago. They taught you to hate me and my kind and you believed them. They told you I and my kind were dictators and that you were slaves, when all we had done was love you, honour you as companions and above all, we had let you just live.
We were the holy communers, the ones who gave birth to human beings, the leaders of society, the creators of society, the vehicles of Divinity on Earth and the channels of wisdom. The ones who looked after everything and the ones who built everything and ran everything, because we could. And because we loved it. We are and were the force of creation. And you loved us and you lived.
But they told you that you ‘deserved’ power too and that we were the ones standing in your way. And you believed them. The oldest ‘divide and rule’ strategy of hate in history and it worked. They used it and you bought it, hook, line and sinker. You had to give up sex, love, magic and your own spiritual gifts and you burnt, destroyed and violated me for 8000 years.
The world calls that male supremacy. And indeed, family supremacy, Matriarchal supremacy and supremacy of the material world and all who believe in it. Men and women like you. When all that you are are slaves to a reptile force to generate hate energy for them to live and thrive and vampire the human race. The puppets of a hate force, that chose to destroy women and men like me, for hate to grow, so they could live. You bought it and it worked. The greatest fraud in the history of the world.
I am THE High Priestess Monarch of the ancient past and I forgive you for becoming enslaved and taken over by the machines of the alien reptile force that invaded and took over Earth 8000 years ago. They taught you to hate me and my kind and you believed them. They taught you that my mind was evil. My mind, my sex, my body and my ways of life.
The humanity, the glory of sexuality and the glory of creation and creativity and the glory of Divinity in each and every one of us. Our souls. They taught you that human beings are separate from Divinity, that sex was wrong and that women who have minds of their own are uppity slaves. They vilified us but much much worse than that, they destroyed your relationship with all that is unseen, all that we honour and love.
They taught you to hate what is really God. By teaching you to hate us, you hated all that is good in yourselves. They taught you to hate the light. They taught you to kill us. The daughters of The Universe. The High Priestesses of God. The Spiritual Mothers. The Sacred Whore High Priestess Avatars of The Universe™. The Sacred Army of Love on Earth.
The Shamans, the Mystics and the Communers. The Hierophants.
They called me Eve and blamed me for the downfall of the human race and created the awesome profanity that is religion. Of men, by men and from men. Of reptiles, by reptiles and from reptiles. Christianity, Islam and Judaism and every other philosophy around the world was poisoned. There are no female spiritual leaders left. It is all profanity. They chose you to represent them because they wanted to divide us and they did. They told you to hate me. And you believed them. Now I am back and I forgive you.
I forgive you because I can. Because I came here to save your soul. And because I finally know who I am. I am THE High Priestess Monarch of the ancient past. I came here to return your soul to The Source. God, The Mother, The Universe. To return you to what is really God. Because I love you. And because She loves you and your kind, whatever you have done.
Whatever you have done to me and whatever you have done to Her. And most of all, whatever you have done to yourself. We forgive you. This is your redemption. Your freedom and your ascension. We are here to save your soul.

You bought the Sacred Whore like a piece of meat and you called that a wife. Your trophy wives. Your dancing girls. Your chattel and serving girls. Your piece of beauty. You bought us like you would cattle. Then you called it wives. Now you call it prostitution. The High Priestesses of the real God. You bought us to buy God, The Mother, The Universe and you caged us, separated us from our Divine gifts and skills in the Temple and drove us mad and then lost interest in us, because we had no gifts left, no excitement, no hunter in ourselves and no hope or joy left. Then you just called us mad and discarded us. You called us evil and you call love obedience, even though it had already killed us. You moved into our Temples and you played with the divination tools and thought you communed. The destruction of Atlantis was your gift.
You stole us from God, The Mother, The Universe and you tried to usurp us. You vilified us, enslaved us and you still envy us today. You call it intuition. You might want to think about this when you hate us out of your jealousy. The mystic gene means physical tortuous pain and taking on the empathy of the human race. All their pains, evils and dark thoughts. We see and feel everything. We make crucial sacrifices to be near Spirit and the unseen and we go without for years. To be shaman is not glamour. I make it glamour. To be shaman is a specific Samurai existence, ascetic and harsh. We commune to be guides. And you take that and you shame yourselves because you just want the meat. You didn’t just want the meat. You wanted our beauty of spirit, our personalities and our love and kindness. And you destroyed them, because you caged us and called us wife.

The High Priestess Sacred Whores, the High Priests and the true protectors. Those who do not have the gift like either the High Priests or especially like the highest of all, the High Priestess Sacred Whores but who honour, protect and facilitate them to the world. Who honour the Shaman Sacred Whores of this world most of all, and who know who they are and who they are not. Who know the difference, who do not envy and who protect and love the representatives of Spirit, GOD, THE MOTHER, THE UNIVERSE, on Earth. Who honour their wisdom and who honour the latent Shaman in themselves too and who honour the communing ability of the High Priestess Sacred Whores. The non violators. Our only friends. The New Society exists. It is called Enlightenment. It is called Love. It is The Holy Grail.

The master race. It's all a lie. You are brought up to be a despot king and it is only your sister who ever tells you that you have become a pratt. The master race is all a lie. There are no kings in an equal world. Your father was misinformed. What he brought you up to be was a killer. Pure and simple. A misogynist. A modern misogynist. A polite killer.

I enter the magical hours of pure feeling, pure thought, pure imagination and I think and I write and I 'mysticise' the Universe. I escape at will, the truth of my humanless, Samurai solitude, and I pursue the truth of love in myself and in everyone else. I am philosopher. I am shaman. I am alone. I frontier the Soul to be spirit on Earth.

In the meantime, please enjoy this website. I have included many of the subjects I am covering, areas of experience and insight that I will be exploring to the fullest in my book, the courses and all the other work that is to come as a dramatist, novelist and essayist. I also of course, include many of the wise people on this planet, who have come long before me; authors, screen dramatists, playwrights, film makers, artists, and other enlighteners and grand carriers of the wisdom I have found the most helpful on my journey, to find peace and become enlightened. The seemingly impossible journey, in the face of oneself and one’s circumstances. People who have contributed massively to my healing on this mad journey called life, in this insane existence called The Universe. People who have helped to make me as good a carrier of wisdom as I in turn, can be. Thank you.
