Hierophant Self Discovery: A Different Kind of Life. Prophet Shamanism. Numerology. Amera Ziganii Rao 

Dan Millman's 'The Life You Were Born To Live'. A phenomenal book about numerology.

Numerology, based on your date of birth. As Amazon describes it...

Based on ancient wisdom, this text provides 37 paths of life for the 20th century, along with a method for determining your own life path and the life paths of others. It explores the core issues, inborn talents and special needs related to each path, including the areas of health, money and sexuality. It presents guidelines for finding a livelihood consistent with the reader's innate drives and abilities, and explains how to reveal the hidden purpose in relationships.

And this from the author himself;

Clearly, The Life You Were Born to Live is my most controversial book -- most readers find it extremely accurate -- a few, for reasons I can't begin to explain, find it personally offensive. Let's deal with the core issue: How can adding up the numbers in one's date of birth (on the Gregorian calendar) to determine your "birth number" possibly give valid, reliable, accurate information about your life purpose, potential, and the core issues of your life? It makes no sense. And I can't explain in any kind of scientific or even logical way how it works. AND it is an amazingly accurate method. All I can do is point to the mystery and mechanics of this universe. I was trained in the basics over a decade ago by an unusual man. I worked with individuals for nine years before teaching the system to therapists and others; finally, I wrote the book.

I wrote it to help my readers develop a deeper compassion for themselves and for others -- to convey how we each and all have our own mountain to climb.

It is not based on the commonly-known "oracle effect" where one gives general information and the reader somehow makes it fit his or her situation--most people agree it hits the nail pretty much on the head.

You are not a number -- you are a unique human being, not exactly alike any one else on the planet. But just as no individual tree is exactly like any other tree on earth, we can accurately observe qualities of oak trees that are different from pines, or aspens, or maples. Just so, those working one of the 37 life paths (for this century), even though their outer lives, careers, etc may appear quite different, do have issues and qualities in common.

It's good to read my book(s) or any books with healthy skepticism, but also with an open mind. Those who glance at it (without much self-reflection or insight) and shrug it off as "numerology" are missing the point, and missing the boat. I've never had muc! h interest in numerology -- it seemed a bit vague to me. Then I met this man, learned the system, worked with it, and found it extremely useful as a tool of self-knowledge. There you have it. I challenge anyone who read page four, find out how to derive your birth number, and then read the first few paragraphs of the section about your life path. Have a good journey. . .

9: Integrity and Wisdom. Dan Millman

"Eventually, everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences." Robert Louis Stevenson.

"Imagine a lone sage walking down a dark road just before dawn, holding a lantern as a light for others to follow. Such sages, lighting the way for others, can only lead where they are willing to travel. If they fall off the path, so will those who follow. If you were such a sage, could you lead by your example? Could you inspire others with your integrity?"

"My life is my teaching." Mahatma Gandhi.

Those working 9 as a life purpose are here to live in accord with their highest integrity, to align their life with their heart's intuitive wisdom, and to inspire others by their example. Because what we're here to do poses special challenges, those with 9 as their primary life purpose (18/9s, 27/9s, 36/9s and 45/9s) and all those with a 9 in their birth number confront obstacles in the areas of integrity and wisdom.

Although most of us have the potential to lead others, 9s can demonstrate leadership in its purest form - leadership by example. Those working 9 come into this world with a charisma that draws others, so they end up either leading others or misleading them. They need to recognise that the example they set and the life they lead, for good or ill, will be followed by others. If 9s speak or act unethically, engage in questionable sexual conduct, or demonstrate unhealthy habits, they need to consider what they are teaching by example.

Since our primary life purpose also represents our primary life challenges, most 9s rise and fall in their struggle to live in accord with higher principles of integrity; they tend to bend spiritual laws or ignore higher principles and to have difficulty taking full responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

Spiritual laws lie at the heart of 9s destiny, and they access this wisdom through the heart - not through words or through the mind, but through their subtle feeling dimension. As 9s contact their own feelings, the quiet wisdom of their heart guides them well. But their heart can only guide 9s when they get out of their head and subordinate mental processes and ideas to the heart's wisdom.

The Essence of Integrity and Wisdom.

It has been said that children rarely listen to what their parents tell them, but they never fail to imitate them. The same applies to adults; our conscious mind hears words, but for our powerful subconscious mind, which generates change, actions do indeed speak louder than words. We learn by imitation; we teach by example.

Those working 9 need to consider their relationships, their business dealings, their parenting, their friendships, and their lifestyle in light of the questions "What example does my life provide for others? Do I live in accord with higher laws?"

Some eloquent individuals can inspire others with their words. They may speak with authority, brilliance or wisdom, expressing lofty ideals. Only those who actually LIVE what they talk about can speak with spiritual authority and touch the place in us that creates real change.

Although 9s have a natural affinity for higher wisdom, they need to follow it, not just know it; they need to pay close attention to whether they practise what they preach. One positive example of integrity, Mahatma Gandhi, once declined to tell a young boy to stop eating sugar until Gandhi himself had stopped eating sugar.

Those 9s who wish to provide a positive example of integrity have to contact their feeling dimension - their heartfelt intuition - where Spirit speaks. The highest spiritual wisdom cannot be found in the mind alone; it informs us through our intuitive felt sense. Most 9s have said or done things with the permission of their mind that their heart, had they listened, told them not to. The practise for 9s involves checking their decisions and actions with the laws of Spirit as revealed by their heart.

The laws of Spirit are not based on society's teachings. Historically, 9s such as Mahatma Gandhi have always looked beyond the laws of society toward a higher integrity based on spiritual laws. When 9s unify their mind and heart, their words and actions - when they base their actions on a higher order of law and submit their thoughts and impulses to their heart's intuitive wisdom - 9s embody the essence of integrity.

Challenges on Path for 9.

Although some people come into this life with physical, emotional, or mental issues predominating, the underlying issues for 9s lie in the arena of spiritual law - higher principles of living. The energy of 9 has links to unconscious archetypes of sin and salvation, spiritual offenses and repentance. Examples of 'spiritual offenses' include taking one's own life when things get too painful rather than staying around, accepting the consequences, and learning from them; failing to respect other peoples process or path; misusing one's will to dominate others; playing a little god and speaking in the name of God (like some televangelists who fall from grace, and fall hard).

Historically, some 9s trusted their mind rather than listened to their heart, or innermost feelings. So they burned people at the stake or broke them on the rack to 'save their souls'. They persecuted others and were persecuted themselves, playing interchangeable roles until they began to trust the guidance of their heart, where 'Spirit speaks'.

Some 9s have found consolation, forgiveness, and inspiration by associating themselves with a mainstream religion or engaging in Eastern spiritual practises and submitting or surrendering to a teacher or to a teaching. Many 9s have rejected all religious belief. In either case, since birth, the hearts of 9s have cried out for the inspiration that comes when they know and live in accordance with universal law and lead by example.

Many 9s do not relate to religious or spiritual themes; yet, at the deepest recesses of their being, 9s resonate with an ancient, global lineage of sages, priests, and priestesses searching for inspiration and sometimes getting lost on the way.

In one form or another, because our life purpose doesn't come easily, 9s tend to ignore the very laws they seek to know. Because they live through their mind, they often have difficulty doing what they intuitively know is best.

Most 9s have had special difficulty with the law of cause and effect (action and reaction). Examples of this include having children when too young, despite the advice of others, and then feeling burdened; eating an unhealthy diet; avoiding exercise; and abusing tobacco, alcohol, food, or sexuality and the suffering the physical consequences. Such 9s often feel that they are 'being punished' instead of understanding that they have reaped precisely what they have sown - that they have created their own situation.

Often, 9s unconsciously ignore their inherent wisdom in order to learn the lessons of life so that they can better guide others by sharing these experiences. But 9s must come to understand that they cannot escape the necessity to teach by example.

Those working 9 face a demanding path that takes them beyond the distractions of the material world into the heights of spiritual law. Whatever happens in the life of 9s, will either lead them or drive them upward on the path to greater wisdom and integrity.

Not all 9s take on roles as teachers or guides; some are cabinet makers, carpenters, musicians, secretaries or mail carriers; they follow every walk of life. Yet when they meet with others and have relationships, whether in the larger society or within family and friends, people tend to look to them as leaders, whether they like it or not.

One good example of how 9s are thrust into positions of leadership was told to me by a woman named Gerta. She had been feeling tense and so got a book on Hatha yoga. After looking at the pictures, she began imitating some of the stretches and postures. She also began meditating to relax. Soon, however, Gerta felt she needed some instruction, so she found a yoga class at a local community centre.

A little self conscious, Gerta walked in and saw about ten people waiting for the teacher. Gerta wanted to warm up, so she went into a corner and did a few postures. The teacher was late, so she did a few more.

Finally, someone said, "Well I guess our teacher's not coming. We might as well go."

Someone else said, "Since you're here, why doesn't one of us lead the class? How about you?" she said to Gerta.

"Me?" Gerta replied, "But this is my first day; I don't really know anything about yoga."

"You look like you do", she replied. "Come one, lead the class."

"No, really," Gerta protested. "I was just warming up".

"But you really look as if you know what you're doing," said another student. "You can lead us". So Gerta led the yoga class and it went well.

The next week, she received a phone call from the regular teacher, who said, "people tell me they enjoyed your class so much, why don't we teach it together?" A surprised Gerta ended up co-teaching a class, leading by her example.

As 9s awaken to their life purpose, they connect with their deepest feelings, and they look beyond the rules of society to higher law for guidance. If they cannot yet contact their own heart's intuition, they try to create their own law.

If 9s cannot live up to their own law, they begin to judge themselves; they internalise their pain, and they mistrust their own feelings. If their frustration is directed inward, 9s may seek to destroy their own body through alcohol, drugs or other means, out of guilt.

Many 9s swing from extremes of righteous moral responsibility to ignoring moral guidelines altogether. They sometimes feel confused by their own behaviour, feelings, or unarticulated purpose, not realising or trusting that they are following a deeper guide than the conscious mind.

Until 9s understand and trust their higher purpose, they may end up as a 'rebel without a cause' and get punished by the very thing they seek to elevate; human law. (When 9s end up in court cases, human laws teach them about spiritual laws.)

Spiritual laws are not about right or wrong; they are about truth or consequences. For 9s, to align with these laws entails surrendering to the part of themselves that is loving, courageous, compassionate and wise. The Law of Higher Will can serve to reawaken and remind 9s of their inner calling. Whatever form or appearance their life takes, this calling whispers to them; it underlies every search, whether for money, fame, love or meaning. Once 9s start paying attention to the higher will they are here to serve, life doesn't always get easier, but it does become more joyous and meaningful, as 9s connect to a new lightness of being.

As 9s mature and re-connect with higher will, they are like lanterns for others on a dark night. Their inner depth and longing gives them an inborn charisma or presence. Others can look to 9s for guidance, because they see the profound love, compassion and wisdom 9s possess, even if these qualities are still hidden, even to themselves.

Those who work 9 in negative ways tend to mistake their opinion for the higher will of Spirit. They can become terribly well intentioned fanatics, proceeding to mislead instead of lead, going astray and taking others with them, reaping painful consequences until they surrender their small mind to the larger Will that speaks to them in the heart of their feeling dimension.

When 9s work their life purpose in the negative, they may mistake the god of their mind - their opinions - for the God of the Universe; thus, they proceed to lead themselves and others astray, reaping progressively more painful consequences until they surrender their mind and desires to a Higher Will.

One way or the other, all 9s end up teaching others by their example, whether in the positive or in the negative. When they bend the laws of Spirit, life has a way of giving 9s quick feedback and clear consequences. If they fall short, as anyone can at times, life reminds us and guides 9s through specific consequences that help them grasp the underlying law or principle. This phenomenon is true for anyone, but 9s receive more immediate, often intense feedback. Over time, through experiencing these consequences, 9s awaken to the wisdom that was within them all the time.

Those working 9 do not have to a perfect example, just a good one. To make spiritual laws a priority and do their best each day to live according to those laws - in their business dealings, in their personal relationships and in the areas of diet, exercise and health - 9s need to ask INTERNALLY - "What is the higher principle here?" To put it another way, they might ask, "If I were feeling courageous, altruistic, generous, compassionate and wise, what would I do now?" The answer reveals the highest direction, whatever their personal preferences, desires or vested interests. But the answer does not come from the mind, which makes up answers that serve its own ends and immediate desires; the answers come from the dimension of intuitive feelings.

Since the laws of Spirit are 'written' in the heart, how do 9s get in touch with their heart? The Law of Intuition reminds 9s that we can't get in touch with our inner wisdom while depending on the world outside ourselves for answers.

Paradoxically, those same 9s who depend on the opinions of others end up acting as if their opinions carried the weight of absolute truth. Many 9s tend to act like fanatics who are locked into their own opinions; this blocks the transcendental wisdom and guidance available to them when they 'get out of the way'.

As soon as 9s find their own feeling centre, they become more secure in their connection to reality. Guided by the wisdom they find within their heart, they live with integrity; these 9s also allow others the space to live their own lives and follow their own truths. Living in alignment with higher integrity and wisdom saves 9s time and again. Life tends to become more effortless, powerful and meaning.

Eventually, at a certain point in their own awakening, 9s help awaken others. They serve as a beacon of light and lead others not like a fanatic, but a positive Pied Piper, through their depth, their wisdom, their integrity, and their aspiring example.

Other Qualities and Issues.

Many 9s live a life that looks enviable from the outside, but inside themselves they feel a depth, a weight, and a longing for something they cannot name. Consciously or not, 9s long to know and live in accord with the deeper laws of life, to feel a deeper connection with others, and to find the inspiration to fulfil the destiny that calls to them.

When their energies are repressed or they are working 9 in the negative, some 9s experience strange chronic diseases, rare afflictions, energy illnesses, long-standing suffering, back problems, or crippling arthritis. These maladies do not come from an external source, but from their own subconscious, which responds to themes of 'sin' and 'repentance'.

Healing methods and forms of therapy that work with the subconscious, ranging from hypnosis to faith healing, can be effective for 9s, based on their own system of beliefs.

As 9s work their life issues in positive, uplifting ways, most physical maladies drop away as if of their own accord. When 9s try to heal themselves, very little seems to help, but as soon as they turn outward to serve and completely accept their condition, their healing begins. By forgiving themselves, they open the door to healing.

Most 9s experience relief as they consider the Law of No Judgment - which tells us that Spirit never judges us but only gives us opportunities to balance and to learn. Judgments only hold the patterns in place. As with 6s, but with an even more profound effect, releasing judgments generates a deep healing for 9s; they feel as if a heavy burden has been lifted from their shoulders. The process can be as simple a taking a deep breath and consciously releasing old judgments, saying internally with each exhalation, "I release all judgments I've placed upon myself" and breathing in forgiveness and healing light with each inhalation.

In moments of openness and self-forgiveness, 9s discover their Spirit has never been absent, even for a moment, from their life. The Law of Faith reminds 9s as it reminds all of us, of the direct and intimate connection they have with the mystery and wisdom of Spirit.

At the Summit; Potential and Destiny.

Those 9s approaching fulfilment of their life purpose have found the source of integrity and higher wisdom within their own heart. Although mature 9s do not necessarily teach or counsel, they always lead others by inspiration and example. They may influence many other people, or relatively few, but they make a difference in the world; integrity has impact and those 9s who live in accord with higher laws are a light to us all.

When 9s approach the summit of their mountain, they may lecture and teach, their words rich and flowing with the spiritual force and authority of integrity in action. Or they may not speak at all; it doesn't matter. Like Gandhi, their life is their teaching. The inspiration of such 9s comes from a feeling connection and complete surrender to higher principles of love. In ways large and small, they become movers of humanity. Their life becomes living proof of the wisdom of integrity.

Action Checklist.

The following actions can make a difference in the lives of those working 9 energy. 

1. Respect the opinions and choices of others, but above all, listen to your own heart.

2. Before acting or making an important decision, ask yourself, "What would my higher self do?"

3. Remember that whatever your role in life, and whether you like it or not, you are leading others by your example.

4. Find what inspires you in life and follow it.

Accessing Integrity and Wisdom.

1. Think of someone you know, or imagine a film, literary or historical character - a role model who leads by example - someone whose life, whose integrity and wisdom, inspires others.

2. Imagine yourself as that person - living in accordance with higher principles, happy to serve a higher purpose. in what specific ways can you put these qualities into practise and bring higher wisdom and integrity into your life?

Dan Millman's Spiritual Laws that apply to a 9

The Law of Higher Will

"From the viewpoint of our separate self and smaller will, it's normal to act on the basis of our own desires and preferences; when we surrender our smaller self and will to the guidance of a higher will and dedicate our actions for the highest good of ALL concerned, we feel an inspired glow at the centre of our life."

"Life is this simple; We are living in a transparent world, and God shines through in every moment. This is not just a fable or a nice story; it is living truth. If we remember God, abandon ourselves to God, and forget ourselves, we may see this truth; God manifests everywhere, in everything. We cannot be without God. It's impossible. It's simply impossible." Thomas Merton.

The Law of Higher Will especially serves those of us who have mistaken our opinions or beliefs for ultimate truth and who have imposed these beliefs on others, forgetting that others have their own paths to follow - not ours. This same law also benefits those of us who tend to sabotage ourselves, who secretly doubt our own goodness or intentions and who need a way to connect our life to a sense of deeper meaning. The Law of Higher Will also generates a sense of connection for those of us who feel cut off and alone and find ourselves struggling against other egos for recognition or for 'the good life'.

Saying and feeling "Thy Will be done" is one way of applying the Law of Higher Will. Applying this law does not, however, require belief in an external God, nor is it attached to any particular religious dogma. To apply it in our own life, we have only to ask internally, "If a wise, loving, compassionate, altruistic, all-knowing Spirit within me were guiding me now, what would I do in this situation?"

The law functions because such a Spirit does work through us; we only have to contact it by calling upon a part of ourselves and then we know what to do - then we act in the name of, or as a servant of, the highest and best that's within us.

When we say to ourselves, "Thy Will be done" and wait for guidance and direction, we won't get much help from the mind, because the mind plays games, such as, "If I'm part of Spirit and Spirit is part of me, then whatever I want IS the will of Spirit". This statement has some ultimate validity, but our ego, with its free will, tends to place itself on a throne and do what it wants without considering the good of the whole, like a cancer cell that reproduces without regard for the whole body. Much of the world's suffering results from a lot of separate little selves, unconcerned with the whole. The ego, or separate self, can turn toward or away from higher principles to learn whatever lessons it needs.

Calling on a higher will involves contacting motives that go beyond personal preferences and self-interest and acting for the highest good of all concerned - for example, hoping for rain in our drought-stricken area even though our own roof is leaking.

Most of us normally cherish hopes in line with our personal desires, wanting what's good for our smaller self. So we ask, "What are MY preferences, MY desires, MY direction in life?" Or, we expand our personal identity to embrace our family, our team or our community - itself an expansive act of connection, but one that still creates an inner circle of "us" and outer circle of "them".

When we work with the will of the small self, we're limited; we may get results, but if we fall, we fall alone. When we work in line with our sense of "the higher will of Spirit", greater inspiration and energy become available to us. A woman named Mildred once came to an important turning point while walking in the woods at night.

"I felt a complete willingness" she said, "without any reservations, to give my life, to dedicate my life to service. I began to give what I could, instead of to get what I could....my life became more meaningful. I attained the great blessing of good health; I haven't had a cold or headache since." She went on to say, "If you life is in harmony with your part in the life pattern and if you are obedient to the laws which govern the universe, then you life is full". Mildred changed her name to Peace Pilgrim and went on to walk across every one of the United States and across every province in Canada; expressing her ideas of world peace, peace between individuals and inner peace. She lived as an inspiring example of integrity and the Law of Higher Will.

When we turn to a higher will for direction, we feel expanded, uplifted and connected to a larger cause; our lives take on a deeper and higher meaning. When we align ourselves with this inner sense of higher will, dedicating everything we say or do for the highest good of all concerned, energies of compassion, love and light flow into our daily life.

The Law of Higher Will serves as a guideline to align ourselves with Spirit, to inspire ourselves and to help us inspire others.

The following exercises can help you achieve alignment with the Law of Higher Will through direct experience and application.

Experiencing Higher Will

1. Recall a time you wanted something, but another part of you, maybe a higher part, knew that what you wanted wasn't for your highest good.

2. If you "did it anyway" you have had a common experience of "my will". If you followed the higher or deeper instinct, you have experienced a connection to higher will.

3. if you followed a personal interest, what might it have felt like if you had said internally, With your mind connected to your heart, "Thy Will, not my will, be done?" Might things have turned out differently?

4. Knowing what you know, if you meet a similar situation, what will you do differently?

Applying the Law of Higher Will

1. Select an issue you are dealing with in your daily life, such as deciding between several options or making another kind of decision.

2. Ask yourself, "What does my mind want me to do?" Then ask, "What would my higher self, the part of me that is wise, loving and compassionate, direct me to do?"

3. Holding your decision or the issue in your heart or feeling centre, say internally, "Thy will, not my will, be done". Listen. Feel. Then obey the deepest urges of your heart, following your deepest feelings.

The Law of Intuition

"We can only get in touch with our own source of intuition and wisdom when we no longer depend upon others' opinions for our sense of identity or worth; we all tend to worship something; the question is, will we worship the god of opinion, or the god of our heart?"

"I found I had less and less to say, until finally, I became silent, and began to listen. I discovered in the silence, the voice of God." Soren Kierkegaard.

We are all here to live in alignment with spiritual laws, but the Law of Intuition is especially critical for those of us with issues of integrity and wisdom as a strong influence in our birth number. Those of us working 9 energy are here to connect with higher laws, which are accessed through the heart or feeling dimension. Therefore, although the Law of Intuition benefits anyone, it is critical for 9s, because it enables them to open the primary doorway to their life purpose.

The Law of Intuition can provide needed leverage for those of us who come into this world without a strong sense of identity, centre or inner direction. It also addresses the needs and issues of those of us working 6, who tend to feel very sensitive to criticism and who worry about whether we're doing the right thing, which often gets defined by someone else. In both cases, it's easy to lose touch with our own sense of intuition, the "god of our heart", because we are so busy monitoring other peoples’ opinions.

Lacking clear identity, we don't have clear answers to internal questions - such as "How do I look?", "Who am I?", "How am I doing?" "How do I appear in your eyes?" "Am I okay?" - so we tend to define ourselves in terms of others' attitudes and views; we need approval or support from others for a sense of identity. We define and value ourselves based on what others seem to feel about us, we remain at their mercy, open to manipulation by anyone who happens to have a strong opinion about how we should act or even who we should be.

There's nothing wrong with getting other reference points as a check and balance, or with asking for someone's opinion; different points of view give us greater perspective, but we can't run our life by committee. The people of this world face food shortages, water shortages, and even shortages of intelligence, but there is an absolute surplus of opinions. People are entitled to their opinions, but what do these opinions have to do with us? What others think of us is really none of our business.

Those of us with an unsure sense of identity innately need something to which we can anchor our identity the way a ship needs an anchor in harbour. Therefore, we tend to find a hobby, a teacher, a system, a method, or a set of beliefs and identity with our opinions with religious zeal or quiet fanaticism. We feel we ARE our opinions, and so we defend them, impose them upon others, feel sensitive about them, and seek others approval of them and mistake our own opinion for truth.

Sensitive to others' opinions, we monitor them closely and give opinions the power to validate or threaten our own sense of self. We mould ourselves to others' expectations, or we react to our extreme vulnerability by resisting all opinions of others and instead, elevating our own opinions as "truth". In short, we put our own and others' opinions on a pedestal; we worship 'the god of opinion'.

Not all of us call this little god by the same name. For some us with authority issues, it's the god of authority; for others, it's the god of comparison; for still others, it becomes the god of money. Whatever we put upon that pedestal tends to overshadow the wisdom of our own heart.

We tend to become or take on the qualities of what we worship, so those of us who lack our own centre or sense of intuition can come to act like a little god of opinion or god of authority or god of comparison. We may even tend, without realising it, to dominate others, not respecting the sanctity of their own process.

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a Judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods". Albert Einstein.

Some people who engage in inner work or spiritual practises strive to access 'inner guides' or 'master teachers within' who may offer wisdom, direction or answers. Other people claim to act as mediums through whom other beings speak - beings they believe are separate consciousness. But perennial wisdom from the global spiritual traditions reminds us that at the level of Consciousness itself, we are one and the same, like many drops that return to the ocean, so how can there truly be separate consciousness? The 'separate' guides or inner master are other parts of our larger self - parts of us that reflect our own innate wisdom.

While they can be fascinating, subtle guides should be given no more power or credibility than people whom we respect, and all 'outside' opinion needs to be checked out against our inner-most feelings - our own heart wisdom.

More likely, people who have 'inner guides' whom they perceive as separate are accessing what Carl Jung termed the COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS, where in or out of trance, they open to different archetypes or sub-personalities stories within our larger human psyche. Whatever the mechanism, the wisdom is ours.

We cannot access this guidance, however, through the logic of our left brain, which stores information and data, not higher wisdom. We access intuition by allowing our heartfelt feelings to link up with and unlock higher mechanisms within our holistic, intuitive right brain. When we make this connection, the combination of feeling and intuition accesses whatever wisdom we need.

The key to the process of gaining access to all spiritual laws resides in making an inspired, EMOTIONAL connection to our heart. But as already noted, we can't get in touch with our heart while we're monitoring others' opinions.

In summary, the Law of Intuition reminds us to recognise when we're monitoring the god of opinion and to begin to transfer authority to the god of our heart and our quiet inner voice, the only 'opinion' that ultimately has value for us. Once we contact our feeling centre, we can then listen to others' counsel or opinions without losing sight of our own intuition, the place from which we determine what is best for our own life and let others do the same. Then we are free to make use of others' views without becoming dependent upon them; if an opinion doesn't serve us, we can easily let it go. We don't resist or ignore or seek others' opinions; we listen to and acknowledge them, take what is useful and submit all views to the wisdom of our own heart.

The following exercises can help you achieve alignment with the Law of Intuition through direct experience and application.

Experiencing Intuition

1. Visualize yourself walking along a path through a forest, striding forward with purpose and direction, appreciating the beauty around you, but headed for a specific destination. Feel your sense of purpose and direction.

2. To your right and left, you see people calling to you, criticising and correcting you; "That's the wrong way"" "You're going too fast!" "You're not going fast enough!" "You look funny!" "You'll never be able to do it!" Feel yourself completely free of all these opinions. Continue on, you destination clear. 

3. You come to a fork in the road. Several people from your present life, people you often rely on, share their opinions with you. You nod in acknowledgement, then wait for a deep inner sense; you look at one path, then at the other, as people yell out their opinions. "Go left!" "No, that's crazy; take the right path!" You receive an internal confirmation, subtle but genuine, to take one path or the other. You take that path, your life path and walk on, guided by the god of your heart.

Applying the Law of Intuition

Shedding the light of awareness on subconscious tendencies to worship the god of opinion, this exercise provides a path back to centre - toward a strong sense of self-direction under the guidance of your own inner wisdom. While some of us tend to live under the tyranny of the god of opinion, others of us workship the god of comparison or authority or money. This exercise works effectively for any of these.

1. In your bedroom or living room, place a cinder block or cardboard box against a wall, cover it with some nice cloth and add some incense, flowers or a candle; in other words, make yourself a small altar.

2. Out of Silly Putty or clay, model yourself a little statue of the god of opinion (or comparison or authority or money). Or, if you prefer, buy a doll or character that feels appropriate to you.

3. Place your god of opinion (or authority or comparison or money) on your altar. You can even give it a name. (I like the name WUDDLE, which stands for "Wuddle they say? Wuddle they think?)

4. Every morning, just after you get up and before you start your day, get down on your hands and knees in front of your altar; bow down and touch your head to the floor, and say something like, "I worship you, great god of opinion. How am I doing? Am I okay? Am I doing the right thing? How do I look?" Or. "Get lost!" Use whatever words feel appropriate to you. Then go about your day.

5. This exercise only takes five or ten seconds, and you only need to do it for three or four weeks, until you become fully aware of this issue as it arises in your life. it happens like this; When others have an opinion about you or you imagine they have an opinion, you can say to yourself, "Gosh, this person looks and sounds like the god of opinion, but it can't be; I left the god of opinion back home on my cinder block. And besides, I ALREADY WORSHIPPED IT this morning. I got that over with. Do I want to worship it AGAIN?"

The next time others have opinions about who you are, how you are, or what you're doing, you can thank them for sharing, acknowledge their opinion, and let them know, "Here's who I am, here's what I need, here's what I'm doing". Taking the god of opinion off the pedestal opens the way to find your own centre once again and trust the god of your heart.

The Law of Faith

"The Law of Faith is founded upon the recognition that we know more than we have read, heard or studied. We know more because we ARE more. We have a direct link to universal wisdom. We only have to look, listen and trust." 

"Only by having faith in ourselves, can we be faithful to others." Erich Fromm.

Some of us believe we trust ourselves, but on closer examination, we discover that we actually trust mental knowledge, theories and beliefs that came from someone else - a book, teacher, a guide. Those of us who have issues with self-trust tend to rely on scientists, "experts", psychics, oracles, gurus or others to advise us and to validate our views; we may search everywhere but within to find ourselves. Just as some people give away their power, we may discard our inner wisdom and then look for it elsewhere, becoming 'seekers of truth', spiritual vagabonds or seminar addicts, travelling from one teacher or workshop to the next, looking for new information that may satisfy or fulfil us. But we will never find fulfilment until we discover it within ourselves - not as a large storehouse of information, but as a direct channel to the infinite wisdom available to us all.

Expert guidance certainly has its value, especially from the truly wise. No need, for example, to learn tennis by ourselves when a good coach can save time. But we need to develop more trust in our own deepest intuition and wisdom as the final arbiter and source of our decisions.

The Law of Faith reminds us to trust the Spirit within ourselves, to take a leap of faith into the possibility that we may know far more than we now recognise. This law entails far more than raising our self-concept, however. Trust cuts across every domain until we see Spirit operating at every level, not only within ourselves but within others and in the world. 

Trusting Spirit does not require a belief in an external God. Rather, it involves trusting in the inherent wisdom and laws of the universe and in the mysterious process of our life with all its ups and downs - knowing that wherever we step, the path appears beneath our feet.

The Law of Faith, directly aligned with the Law of Flexibility and the Law of Higher Will reminds us that we are part of the Mystery we call God, and that awesome, powerful, wise, immortal Spirit also resides within each of us.

When we say "I trust myself completely", we are most often referring to our conscious self - our mind or ego.

This kind of self-trust won't take us far, because the ego can only access limited data. When we come to consider the possibility that a mysterious energy of infinite wisdom, patience and compassion is operating in, as and through us and everyone else, we open doors to a new experience of life. When we REALIZE this level of trust, our life changes forever.

I use the term Spirit to refer to this higher energy, but whatever name we use, when we TRULY come to trust this higher energy or Spirit working behind the scenes according to its own laws, then we can also trust that part of Spirit we call 'ourselves' and 'others'.

We can always feel this connection and this trust in our heart. But first we have to get out of our head. This means coming to trust our body's instinctive wisdom about how to move, what to eat, when to have sex and how to heal ourselves - letting the body do the job it is here to do, without the mind's interference with theories and philosophies. For self-trust to reach its most profound degree, it must occur on all levels of our being - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

A corollary to the Law of Faith can be stated thus; SELF-TRUST COMES THROUGH DIRECT EXPERIENCE, which reminds us to pay attention first to our own experience, not to advice from a book or teacher. Improvisational dancing, martial arts and other sports and playing a musical instrument, are all good ways to develop a trust in our body's innate ability to move WITHOUT THINKING, following its own wisdom. We come to trust that our body can take of itself very well without philosophies; we discover what our body knows and can do what's needed as soon as we listen and let it show us.

Challenge courses, such as the Peaceful Warrior Intensive or the 'high ropes course' can demonstrate in dramatic ways that by trusting our body we can do more than we might have believed, leading to higher levels of self-trust. But even in everyday life we meet challenges that test us, and we face similar kinds of opportunities to test and develop our connection to deeper levels of trust.

The Law of Faith also teaches us to trust our mind, not in the sense of its ability to store information, but in its ability to access higher wisdom. We come to recognise that our brain doesn't just operate as a filing cabinet or computer but also as a radio that can tune in to any station. In other words, information doesn't come FROM our brain, it comes THROUGH our brain.

Trusting ourselves means sweeping our beliefs out of the way and trusting our deepest intuitions. Our feeling sense conveys messages from the subconscious, which can help us make faster, more comprehensive decisions than the conscious mind, with its insufficient data. Beyond that, what we call intuition can draw upon the same universal intelligence that manifests as spiritual laws.

Those of us who trust Spirit, work with it directly; the more we trust ourselves, the more we feel a higher order of wisdom and love at work in every aspect of our lives. Self-trust involves a willingness to make 'mistakes' and learn from them, for our highest good.

We're all being tested by Spirit in order to learn. In every situation, every challenge or difficulty, the universal teacher operates through our life experience to let us see our present levels of trust, faith and alignment with spiritual law.

Alan Watts once said, "Beware of teachers who pick your pocket and then sell you your own wallet."

Ironically, that's all any teacher can do, even the best-intentioned one, because the treasure is already inside each of us; no one can give us anything we don't already have. All any teacher can do is provide some keys to help unlock our own door. Teachers may save us some time, but they can only point the way; the beginning and end of the journey is inside us.

Those of us with issues around self-trust need to remember that, ultimately, we are the experts on our own life. By trusting the Spirit within us, we come to trust the same Spirit in others and begin to feel safe in the world.

Ultimately, the Law of Faith reminds us of the transcendent wisdom of the universe reflected in the old religious adage "God works in mysterious ways". Such faith is not just believing or hoping that all circumstances serve us or that divine justice is operating when we skin our knee. Faith is a direct recognition based on higher wisdom; it entails the courage to trust that whatever happens can serve our highest good.

Experiencing Faith

1. Can you recall a specific time, either recently or when you were very young, when you felt very safe, trusting and open inside, so safe that you could share your feelings without fear or shame or betrayal? (If you can't access such a time directly, imagine strongly what it might feel like).

Can you picture or hear what was going on in your life at that time?

What did that sense of trust and openness feel like in your body?

2. Notice how this feeling of trust and openness may be different from how you normally feel around people.

What would it be like to feel emotionally safe with other people?

In what specific ways might you rejuvenate the feeling of loving faith in yourself and others?

Applying the Law of Faith

1. Having accessed the memory of a feeling sense of trust and openness in the preceding exercise, contrast that feeling sense to a recent or more distant incident in which you felt less than complete trust, perhaps even betrayal.

2. How might you have unintentionally contributed to the way that incident played out - that misunderstanding or failed trust - by not sharing your feelings clearly in the first place?

3. With the above in mind, trusting that all parties were acting out a scenario that has served your highest good and learning, replay the incident, applying your current understanding. Observe any differences.

4. Stretch yourself a little more each day, opening up, taking a chance, sharing what's really in your heart, creating a deeper sense of trust and connection with others, a bridge from your spirit to theirs.

The Law of Flexibility

"Flexibility avails us fare more than either passivity or resistance. By actively USING whatever arises, embracing even the most painful circumstances, we deal with our difficulties more effectively, as we begin to see them as a form of spiritual training."

"Always fall in with what you've asked to accept. Fall in with it and turn it your way." Robert Frost.

Flexibility involves a pragmatic acceptance of, rather than rigid resistance toward the present moment - acceptance of ourselves, others, and current circumstances. This does not in any way imply passive toleration for what we don't like, nor does it mean ignoring injustice or allowing ourselves to be victimized. Flexibility requires an alert and expansive state of awareness; it entails not just 'going with the flow', but embracing and making constructive use of it. Mastering this law, we turn stumbling blocks into stepping-stones and problems into opportunities; when high winds blow, we don't just 'accept' or tolerate these winds, we put up windmills.

The Law of Flexibility may appear unrealistic and idealistic at first, bringing up a variety of questions, such as "What if we're attacked on the street, or a tragedy happens to a loved one? How do we 'embrace' that?"

Such questions are fair and important, but the answer comes down to this; Great pleasures and great pain and injustice exist in this world. When something painful happens to a group of people, some of these people mentally resist the experience, in total shock, denial and fear. They suffer the worst, like the tree with rigid branches that break in the wind.

Others in the group of people have developed the ability to bend, to accept and experience the situation fully, while keeping in touch with the bigger picture of life - with a sense of perspective about HOW THINGS ARE. They accept their emotions and express them fully, but like the branch that bends, they do not break but snap back. Without mental rigidity or resistance, they can respond in the most effective, creative way. In flexibility lies great strength. With flexibility, we learn to treat sun and rain, heat and cold, as equals. We experience life as less painful, less of a struggle by responding rather than resisting; we treat pain as a test and make the best use of it if we can, if only to learn.

I once saw a humorous bumper sticker that exemplified the Law of Flexibility. It read "If you don't like the way I drive, get off the sidewalk!" If someone is driving right towards us on the sidewalk of life, instead of thinking "They shouldn't be doing this, it isn't fair, it isn't right" while the car careens towards us, we can apply the Law of Flexibility and simply jump out of the way, grateful for the chance to test our reflexes.

The martial arts of aikido and T'ai chi, which reflect and embody the Law of Flexibility, are founded upon non resistance. WHEN PUSHED, PULL, WHEN PULLED, PUSH, AND WHEN A FORCE COMES TOWARDS YOU, GET OUT OF THE WAY. Everything serves our highest good if we make good use of it.

When we view life only from the personal viewpoint of our conventional minds, we certainly won't always feel 'grateful' for some events, such as financial setbacks or catching the flue. This law, however, reminds us to expand our vision beyond ourselves to see the bigger picture so we can better appreciate that every circumstance, whether it appears positive or negative to us at the time, serves as an opportunity to strengthen our spirit. Stress happens whenever the mind resists what arises in life - whether situations, people or emotions. Phrases like "I'd rather be" or "They should (or shouldn't) be" reflect our resistance to what is. By seeing everything we meet as a potential lesson that may, in the long run, make us stronger, wiser or more whole, we get past expectations or judgments ABOUT what is and embrace life.

Life may not always be fair from the viewpoint of the limited mind, but from a much larger perspective, spiritual laws still hold true. Flexibility involves developing the attitude "Okay, here's where I am and who I am. I'll do the best I can with the situation." Just as opportunities also contain problems, every problem brings an opportunity.

The Serenity Prayer used by Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelve-step programmes reflects the Law of Flexibility; "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference."

Flexibility enables us to enjoy situations that might once have troubled us, such as changes in fortunes or the ending of relationships. Sometimes flexibility means staying aware of both sides of issues or events, but focusing on the more positive side of any difficulty. For example, as painful as the breakup of a relationship may be, it opens up the space for new opportunity, new love.

Cats are masters of the Law of Flexibility; When a cat wants to walk out the door, but someone is blocking its way, it tries to go one way, then another and then another; it is persistent, but it also knows when to sit back, relax and wait for another opportunity. Like cats, we don't have to waste energy resisting or fretting over circumstances we can't avoid.

Flexibility means total and unconditional acceptance of who we are, whom we're with and what we're doing in this moment, even as we learn and grow and effectively handle what's in front of us. This may require a shift in attitude, not necessarily a shift in behaviour. if we catch ourselves criticising others or calling them names, it also means accepting and forgiving ourselves on the spot for our mistakes.

Flexibility means staying adaptable; like water, we take the shape of our 'container' - the present moment. We open to life at whatever level we can.

The Law of Flexibility parallels the Law of Perfection, but with slightly different emphasis and purpose. By practising the Law of Flexibility, we stay open to experiencing rather than avoiding the highs and lows. We live more fully.

We can apply flexibility to our work, our relationships, or any other aspect of everyday life. Free of resistance, we learn the art of unreasonable happiness. Master this law and we've mastered them all.

Experiencing Flexibility

This partner exercise gives a physical experience of acceptance as it applies to the highest martial arts, as well as to any situation in daily life.

1. Stand naturally, with your feet shoulder width apart and hold one arm out in front of you. Have your partner take your wrist or forearm and smoothly pull you forward as if he or she wanted you to go somewhere.

2. As your partner pulls, take one step forward to maintain your balance and resist (pull against) the pull of your partner. Experience what this feels like physically and emotionally.

3. Now, have your partner pull once again, but this time, JUST as your partner begins to pull, while maintaining your balance, take two steps forward and GENTLY push your partner in the direction he or she was pulling. In other words, instead of resisting the force, join it; make it yours. Experience what this feels like physically and emotionally. This time, you didn't accept your partner's pull in the sense of resigned submission or passive toleration and you didn't actively work against it; rather you MADE USE OF IT.

4. After allowing your partner to be in the other role, compare your experiences.

Applying the Law of Flexibility

1. Think of a situation or incident that you tend to fight or resist.

2. Consider how you might apply flexibility to embrace and flow with the forces of your life.

3. Notice whenever you tend to contract, tense, resist, pull back, freeze up or fight when dealing with this situation or incident. Ask yourself, "What if I actively went with the force and made it mine?

The Law of No Judgments

"The Universal Spirit does not judge us; judgments are human inventions, a means to compare, contrast and control as we judge ourselves against artificial and often idealistic standards of perfection, morality or truth."

"As youth fades and time brings changes, we may change many of our present opinions. So let us refrain from setting ourselves up as judge of the highest matters." Plato. 

If the universe doesn't judge us, what right or business do we have to judge ourselves? And against whose standards? Those of us with the highest ideals and standards, tend to judge ourselves more harshly than others would ever judge us. We judge and criticize not only our actions but also our thoughts and feelings - even our fantasies! We also judge others against our high vision; then we judge ourselves for judging others!

When we measure and compare everything against the yardstick of our own vision and ideals, everything falls short, because this isn't an ideal world - it's a real world with real people, growing, making mistakes, learning and evolving.

Each of us tends to internalise the criticism or blame we received or imagined from our parents. We project our judgments on others, who then seem to judge us, but who only mirror our own disappointment. We may imagine God as a stern parent who metes out rewards and punishments in this life or the next.

The Law of No Judgments reminds us that God didn't invent morals; people did. This law begins with the premise that Spirit never judges us but only gives us opportunities to balance and to learn. If we make a mistake, our life will provide ample opportunities to balance the scorecard. If we can accept the premise that Spirit does not judge us, we can also begin to give ourselves the same consideration and refrain from judging ourselves.

The higher our ideals, the more prone we become to such self-judgments. We feel the pressure of our ideals and the constant need to prove and improve ourselves, fearful of falling short, of not meeting our own standards. Ironically, those of us with the highest vision may have the lowest self-worth. The more harshly we tend to judge ourselves, the more people we attract into our life who seem to criticise us, as if they are acting out our own internal impulses (see The Law of Expectations).

Judgments block energy, set up internal defences and resistance, and tend to hold negative patterns in place. Releasing judgments open the way for change. In 'The Inner Athlete', I describe an incident in which Sam, a golfer, sliced his ball way over a row of trees and a high fence. Since the ball was long gone, he teed up again and continued with his game. As he putted out on the eighteenth hole, he looked up to see a police officer approaching, followed by the fire chief and some other officials, all looking quite upset. 

Approaching Sam, the police officer spoke first, "Did you hit a ball over the fence on the twelve fairway?"

"Yes I did," replied Sam.

"Well that ball went through the windshield of a car, causing it to crash into a tree and block the road - "

"And the fire engines!" piped up the fire chief.

"And two apartment houses burned to the ground!" said the police officer.

"No one was seriously injured, but the property loss probably amounted to several million dollars!"

Sam took all this in, as the policeman and fire chief asked almost simultaneously, "WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?"

Without hesitating, Sam replied, "I think I'll have to move my grip a little to the left."

Consider; What would it be like to model Sam the golfer, and see ourselves and life without havingto compare or criticise or blame or judge ourselves? What would it be like to live as best we can, accept our mistakes, learn from them and do a little better next time? What if we COMPLETELY accepted ourselves and others?

"Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them." Brenden Francis.

The following exercises can help you achieve alignment with the Law of No Judgments through direct experience and application.

Experiencing No Judgments

1. Take a moment to observe how you measure the world and yourself against the yardstick of your own values rather than according to any universal truth.

2. Reflect on a recent instance when you had a judgment come up about yourself or someone else. Mentally perform this simple ceremony: Say to yourself, "I release all judgments I've placed on myself (or on the other person) for (whatever is coming up)."

3. As you say this to yourself, take a deep breath and as you exhale, FEEL that you are breathing out all of the judgments you've ever placed upon yourself for similar issues. Releasing these judgments you've placed on yourelf or on others, who merely reflect you, you help to release your own negative patterns.

Applying the Law of No Judgments

The tendency to 'beat ourselves up' over mistakes, happens to most of us when our performance falls shoft of our ideals. Here's a humorous and almost instant cure:

1. The next time you feel like beating yourself up, actually DO IT, but do it in the open and with a touch of humour. Physically make a fist and beat yourself! (Of course, don't hit hard enough to cause a physical injury). Hit your head, your chest and your shoulders, yelling insults, such as "You baboon! Offspringof a mongrel wombat! Pea brain! Lowlife!". Add your favourite epithets. Be sure to make sound effects as you strike yourself.

"Oooff! Ow! Oh! Gosh, I deserve this! This'll teach me!" 

2. While you are doing this exercise, do not fail to strike yourself physically, and make eloquent insults, EVERY time you feel inclined to criticize or judge yourself. If you fail to strike yourself, you'll just have something else to beat yourself up about! Exaggerating the tendency toward self-assault and bringing it out into the open can clear it very quickly through the power of awareness and humour. This process also generates a stronger sense of self-protection and respect.

A final caution: This exercise is not recommended as a permanent practise, but only as a means to help us see our tendency to beat ourselves up mentally, bring this tendency into the open and RELEASE it. If you have masochistic tendencies or already tend to injure yourself, you may benefit from work with a therapist. Only when you can 'beat yourself up' with a touch of compassion and humour are you doing the exercise in the spirit in which it is intended.

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.
