Are we many in the ONE? If so, how does that show up in our reality? Zendor the Barbarian is a story about one of the many, challenging the status quo with humility and trust in a childhood vision. He’s a maniac on a mission to purge the urge to remain separate and unapproachable, ready to whack away at the truth with unyielding love. Every question has an answer. Are we asking the right ones?

I have intense moments and have learned to manage my emotions to the point of freedom. I mean being able to experience intense energy without succumbing to fear or at least self-denial, let alone self-loathing. When I began my quest for truth, inadvertently I also embarked upon a quest for identity beyond anything I ever dreamed possible as a child or even as an adult. I just wasn’t prepared for what I’d find. It has been an absolutely amazing half-century for me, full of bizarre experiences that apparently are interconnected with others. Even knowing who I Am now often doesn’t provide any real answers, yet the questions emerging along the way seem to connect people, places and things more cohesively. I am blessed with an intellect able to ride the waves as they become particles in the seer’s vision. I don’t claim to understand how our experience bridges worlds, only that it happens from time to time and with increasing regularity when one can remain poised and still, instead of behaving like a pogo stick with an attention-driven hyper-drive. If you got the latter remark, then you’ll enjoy this journey with me. I don’t take myself too seriously, yet I know there is a serious shift taking place, or at least about to now. I’d be remiss if I failed to mention all the signs, including the Occupy vii Zendor the Barbarian – Part Trois Movement as a demonstration of the intent (without answers as to how) for change in our world to better serve humanity instead of filling corporate coffers. I wish I could offer a solid state of affairs or at least a belief system to hold on to for now. I cannot. What I can offer is encouragement to trust in what is to come, that it will be what is needed for all of us and that the right thing to do is always right in front of your face, even when you forget that it is. Life doesn’t have instructions but it does have a flow of vibration that is becoming more accessible it seems. It is that trust I find everything I need and where I can completely let go even in the most intense situations where I’m not sure what is going to happen next and I feel like I’m going to literally jump out of my skin… and sometimes do as a result. That is how I discovered entrance into a whole lot of new worlds and the intelligence that permeates them all. It seems there is a plan, loosely arranged as it may be, that becomes visible when one seeks the BEing behind the doing and having. Writing this series has been most cathartic and allowed me to take yet another step back and observe from yet another intimately woven perspective I never knew existed, yet makes perfect sense as I explore its offerings. I guess that is what my mentors meant by aging gracefully into maturity. It’s an arduous journey. As long as we continue to question reality and our place in it, we are led to the next experience and viii guided toward understanding the depth and meaning of oneness both as an individual and part of the team that collaborates for the future of Earth. What I have gotten real clear on is that we have a choice in the beginning. After the choice is made, the commitment to self, then there is no other choice about whether to do or not to do. It will be in front of your face and unless and until you do it, whatever the task, it will return in other forms until completed. We remain devoted to serving Creators and Creation, or whatever terms you might use, as problem-solvers for our planetary civilization. Like Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking that created them.” So I offer that there is a new reality that is struggling to get through to us, something more than we ever dreamed possible. As an example of recent up-to-the-moment events, I recently parted with one of my domains, BeTheDream.org, selling it to the Global Peace Youth Group for their 2013 Be The Dream Campaign. They are honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 50th anniversary of his ‘I’ve got a Dream’ speech by soliciting 50,000 youth (ages 18-39) world-wide to commit to and fulfill a local service project for their communities. I think that is a perfect example of how our world is transforming through people, places and things with a valiant purpose. ix Zendor the Barbarian – Part Trois This book is intended to invite you into such a world as it begins to manifest before our very eyes. It is dedicated to the unyielding efforts made by so many who face and transcend what once kept them afraid, angry, ignorant and immobile in order to fulfill a deeper calling toward a new living awareness of love. Trust is an action of that love, undoubtedly the most important for each of us to find and live our purpose. Faith begins the process. What if we can experience a new world order of harmony among people and planet in our lifetimes? What if there is something for you here that can assist your awakening? What if I’m full of shit and this is all a rouse to get you to question your beliefs or sell you something? I guess you’ll have to trust that reading this now is your simple answer… and to read on is appropriate. x Reconnoitering… Alrightythen, in case you are jumping in midstream, the first two books of this series chronicled the circuitous and serendipitous life of a young man’s journey; questing for deeper understanding of life, identity beyond human, experiences beyond this world and relationships in many dimensions leading up to the New Millennium. He began an orphan in a very tightly controlled adoption process, finding out years later that the only adoption records available had been destroyed in a flood and the State only held non-identifying information of his birth records. His young life was full of experiences and explorations he found uncommon to most and so he had little, if any, mentorship other than the Visitors that felt more like family than his own. In a kind of tutelage, he learned about astral travel very early in life and was afforded the observation of journeys to an orange cigar-shaped cloud for several years. He never considered talking to others about them, but couldn’t wait to return to what felt more exciting than anything even though he had no memory of them. As a teen in college he prayed to know truth, offering his life if necessary. A week later he was meditating after classes when a voice he’d been familiar with for many years asked him if he was willing to die for what he believed in. Christ Consciousness was the only thing on his mind and xi Zendor the Barbarian – Part Trois heart, cosmic consciousness being synonymous with his understanding to date. Trusting, he let go and instantaneously entered the ‘Light’ and even though it felt like home beyond any imagination, it felt empty.

    TRAUMA, DISSOCIATION AND THE JOURNEY TO SOUL HEALING A THESIS Presented to FACULTY AND THE MASTER OF PSYCHOTHERAPY AND SPIRITUALITY PROGRAM COMMITTEE of St. Stephen’s College Edmonton, Alberta In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF PSYCHOTHERAPY AND SPIRITUALITY by Karin Gabriele Stewart Edmonton, Alberta St. Stephen’s College RELEASE FORM NAME OF AUTHOR: Karin Gabriele Stewart TITLE OF THESIS: TRAUMA, DISSOCIATION AND THE JOURNEY TO SOUL HEALING DEGREE: MASTER OF PSYCHOTHERAPY AND SPIRITUALITY YEAR THIS DEGREE GRANTED: 2012 Permission is herby granted to St. Stephen’s College to reproduce single copies of this thesis and to lend or sell such copies for private, scholarly or scientific research purposes only. The author reserves other publication rights, and neither the thesis or extensive extracts from it may be printed or otherwise reproduced without the authors written permission. Signature I dedicate this work in gratitude to my always patient and supportive partner Jim and to my also patient and supportive children Lydia and Alexander Abstract This research is a narrative inquiry into the immediate and long-term effects of soul loss retrieval as a way of recovering from long-term trauma and dissociation. Particular interest is placed on the ability of soul retrieval to restore wholeness and power balance to a person’s life. I inquired into the lived experiences of soul healing, as described by four women who participated in a soul loss recovery journey, part of the Trauma Recovery Certification Program developed and taught by Dr. Jane A. Simington. I chose this method because it is a pioneering attempt to blend modern psychoanalytic techniques with ancient shamanic approaches that are still being used in traditional cultures all over the world.

  • The 12 Mysteries of Love by Linda Goodman
    The Twelve Mysteries of Love from the introduction of Love Signs by Linda Goodman The Twelve Initiations of Love In each of the following experiences, man or woman is fully capable of giving and teaching others the first quality, but for the personality to learn the second quality is a struggle. When one's understanding of this second quality equals that of the first, he or she has then achieved mastery of a particular Sun Sign. The soul must pass more than once through the First Six Initiations of Love as: ARIES the infant "I am" to teach that love is innocence and learn that love is trust TAURUS the baby "I have" to teach that love is patience and learn that love is forgiveness GEMINI the child "I think" to teach that love is awareness and learn that love is feeling CANCER the adolescent "I feel" to teach that love is devotion and learn that love is freedom LEO the teenager "I will" to teach that love is ecstasy and learn that love is humility VIRGO the adult "I analyze" to teach that love is pure and learn that love is fulfillment After achieving emotional maturity in these first six stages of development, man and woman must then pass through love's Final Six Initiations (more than once) to discover its deeper spiritual meaning in: LIBRA marriage "I balance" to teach that love is beauty and learn that love is harmony SCORPIO sex "I desire" to teach that love is passion and learn that love is surrender SAGITTARIUS knowledge "I see" to teach that love is honesty and learn that love is loyalty CAPRICORN experience "I use" to teach that love is wisdom and learn that love is unselfish AQUARIUS idealism "I know" to teach that love is tolerance and learn that love is Oneness PISCES submission "I believe" to teach that love is compassion and learn that love is ALL and so to realize at last that Love Is Eternal The Aries Love Mystery The soul, symbolically newborn in Aries (although not necessarily in its first earthly sojourn), relates to dawn, sunrise, spring and Easter - or the resurrection from its "death" in the previous sign of Pisces.

  • Prophecy, Cosmology and the New Age Movement: the Extent and Nature of Contemporary Belief in Astrology
    PROPHECY, COSMOLOGY AND THE NEW AGE MOVEMENT: THE EXTENT AND NATURE OF CONTEMPORARY BELIEF IN ASTROLOGY NICHOLAS CAMPION A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Bath Spa University College Study of Religions Department, Bath Spa University College June 2004 Acknowledgments I would like to acknowledge helpful comments and assistance from Sue Blackmore, Geoffrey Dean, Ronnie Dreyer, Beatrice Duckworth, Kim Farnell, Chris French, Patrice Guinard, Kate Holden, Ken Irving, Suzy Parr and Michelle Pender. I would also like to gratefully thank the Astrological Association of Great Britain (AA), The North West Astrology Conference (NORWAC), the United Astrology Congress (UAC), the International Society for Astrological Research (ISAR) and the National Council for Geocosmic Research (NCGR) for their sponsorship of my research at their conferences. I would also like to thank the organisers and participants of the Norwegian and Yugoslavian astrological conferences in Oslo and Belgrade in 2002. Ill Abstract Most research indicates that almost 100% of British adults know their birth-sign. Astrology is an accepted part of popular culture and is an essential feature of tabloid newspapers and women's magazines, yet is regarded as a rival or, at worst, a threat, by the mainstream churches. Sceptical secular humanists likewise view it as a potential danger to social order. Sociologists of religion routinely classify it as a cult, religion, new religious movement or New Age belief. Yet, once such assumptions have been aired, the subject is rarely investigated further. If, though, astrology is characterised as New Age, an investigation of its nature may shed light on wider questions, such as whether many Christians are right to see New Age as a competitor in the religious market place.

There is a light that never goes out iv EPIGRAPH If I could tell you what it meant, there would be no point in dancing it. Isadora Duncan In a culture whose already classical dilemma is the hypertrophy of the intellect at the expense of energy and sensual capability, interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon art. Even more. It is the revenge of the intellect upon the world. To interpret is to impoverish, to deplete the world – in order to set up a shadow world of “meanings.” It is to turn the world into this world. (“This world”! As if there were any other.)
