TOMORROW

What unseen words still knock to be reopened,
Like the Hall of Records, beckoning to be heard?

Like the unseen flower who loves to be noticed,
What ancient deeds and thoughts still wait to bloom again?

What would they tell us with opened verse?
What secrets and delights would they marshal for inspection?

They would speak of love.
They would speak to hold the eye single.
They would explain why we forgot our birthright and our origin
And of the heavens when we crafted this moment.

They would tell of sacred cycles,
Of the depth of repeated effort and our birth to truth;
That eternal canopy that shelters our tomorrows,
Not unlike a mother’s wing.

They would explain the atom’s spin,
Of attraction and repulsion,
And why we’re here,
So much so, like a father’s consoling word.

What drives the archeologist to dig and scratch and search?
What pushes the highest climber to distant lands?
But to know all that is, to feel and see and do.

Why?

Because we are made that way.
It’s recorded, hidden in the ancient voice.
It’s our nature to embrace all that we see
And to do all that we think.

It’s a time capsule,
Buried in our genes
To be recovered by our command, by our voice;
Not by the ancients or from the sunken caverns of a distant land.

HERE'S YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE IT ALL...

by Mario C. Veo

Have you ever wondered why, no matter how hard you try, Life never quite rewards you fully… so now you try even harder, firmly believing that “you are a good person, and you deserve to be happy, fulfilled, and even loved” (though you would settle for simply being appreciated). You ask Life to be ‘fair’, people in authority to behave honorably, relationships to be based on respect… after all this IS how you behave… so why don’t others…?

Then some ‘psychic‘ starts prattling forth about ‘Karma’ – and how all this is your ‘Penance’ for some unknown atrocity you have committed in a previous Life… and then (here’s the kicker) that you must just “bite your tongue and accept it!” Sounds familiar… well, I simply don’t ‘accept it’ – after all if we are created in God’s image, and Her Divine Breath is within each of us… then surely there is a better way to deal with this so called ‘Karma’..? (and do I really have to just give up this Ideal Life I yearn for so much…).

Guess what? There IS a better solution – and it is ‘the Light Within’!
So, in honor of the Spring Equinox (and of the Summer Queen and Her Seelie Court) I am dedicating March to be ‘Mad-Hatter’ Month, and invite you all to throw away these limiting beliefs, become more individualized – to reject these simplistic ‘truths’, and truly face up to Karma (that bitch!), and awaken this gracious Light Within (oh peaceful comfort)… and once and for all BE more Self-Empowered.
Now, ask yourself… are you ready for this?… or are you soooo comfortable in a Victim Identity (which does give us good reasons to keep whining and moaning without having to do anything about it…) Oh, drama… wonderful drama!

P.S. Yes of course there are ways to help you “have it all”… promise! It’s quite easy, just… come to our classes.
