Smoke Rings and Lightning... By Patrick Cunningham

very person’s story is different. Mine is a bit unusual, but underlying it, there is a situation that many would face with resignation; I was 56, never married, not rich, lonely, and living on a farm outside a very small town in Central Bohemia. The fact that I was sterile, due to chemotherapy years before, added to the lack of interest in me as a marriage partner. I had resigned myself to being a single, eccentric American, living out life with his books and dog in a foreign country. I don’t want to make it sound too bleak. I have had an eventful and sometimes fulfilling life. And one reason I had never married or asked anyone to marry me is that my interests have always been intellectual, and sex alone would never be enough for me. I would have to find someone who could challenge me, someone who could and would push me to grow, and someone who would be her own person — not an appendage to me. But, stranded on my own little island in a landlocked country, I couldn’t help but think of the Al Stewart song, “Old Admirals:” I sometimes think, the saddest thing to be, Old Admirals who feel the wind, but never put to sea. Then, a friend asked if I would proofread a Czech graduate student’s thesis. Her name was Lenka. I agreed, but then heard nothing more.

A few weeks later, I was in the garden of the local pizzeria, alone as usual. I caught sight of a young twenty-something couple at a table across the garden. The man and woman were chatting happily. I found them attractive, especially the woman. I was jealous. I was frustrated. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her and felt ridiculous for it. I left the restaurant to get away from the thought of being old and not having someone like her to love me. A voice rang out behind me: “Mr. Cunningham!” I turned to see the girl from the pizzeria running towards me. I was startled, to say the least. “Mr. Cunningham, Michal spoke to you about proofing my thesis. I’m finishing my studies in Usti. He gave me your e-mail address, but I couldn’t make it work. Will you help me, really?” I realized that Michal had probably ended my e-mail address with .com instead of .net, a common mistake, and said that I would be happy to read it. Maybe she should give me her phone number as well, so I could contact her if I didn’t get the e-mail? She blushed and stammered for a moment— the number had escaped her, she never called it, she only called from it. But I got the number and we parted. That evening the thesis arrived by e-mail and I printed it. I wasn’t really looking forward to reading it. 50 pages of Czenglish can be tiring, but she seemed like a nice girl, I had promised Michal, and I had the time. A few days later, I sat down in my old rocker with a cup of coffee and a red pen, and dove in. Something amazing happened. Or, rather, something amazing didn’t happen. I was about 40 pages in when I realized that I wasn’t editing, I was reading for pleasure, and outside of a few

in pursuit of illusive love. misplacements or missing a the, — the doesn’t exist in Czech; why use a simple preposition when seven cases of nouns will do? — there wasn’t anything to fix! Her writing was lucid and nearly grammatically perfect. Since I had her mobile phone number, I sent her a brief text message: “You do good work!” There were a couple more e-mail exchanges between Lenka and I, and it was done. I was busy preparing for the arrival of a houseguest, and one of my oldest friends; Dan. When I mentioned the girl from Caslav who wrote such great English, his response was simple: “Well, invite her over; let’s meet her!” For the next week or two we dragged Lenka along with us as I showed Dan the local tourist attractions. But when Dan went back home, I was alone again. I found that I terribly missed Lenka’s company, but was sure that there could be nothing romantic between us. I was far too old for her to find me of interest, and therein lay the crux of my problem. I wouldn’t have called her, but we had planned to go to my favorite restaurant in a chateau/hotel nearby. I had really talked it up, but Dan had left before we could fit that in. Dare I ask her to go with me alone? I felt the old fool again. I put it off. But, the next day I got courage and called. How was I to know that she was feeling the “young idiot” to my old fool? How was I to know that she couldn’t imagine that someone like me would be attracted to someone with so little worldly experience? Let it suffice to say that sometime before the main course was finished, we were dreaming of dessert. Soon, I took a ring off her finger, put it on mine, and said, “with this ring I thee wed.” Plans were

made. An announcement was given. The wedding was in the Old Town Hall of Prague with only a few family and friends present. The Czech dissident writer Ivan Klima stood in as my best man, and is symbolic of why I am writing this. More than once, Ivan saw his world come to an end. As one of the famous “Children of Terezin,” Ivan spent his childhood in a concentration camp, and saw nearly all of his friends go to their deaths in Auschwitz. He survived, but doesn’t know why. Then, just seven years after Hitler’s demise, his country fell into Stalin’s web of terror. He rose to some prominence during Dubcek’s ill-fated Prague Spring, only to be banned from publication for the following twenty years as the gray weight of “normalization” attempted to crush the Czech spirit beneath it. Wlliam Stryon said, “Ivan is a survivor, not a victim.” So he is, and so must we all be, in our own worlds, large or small. Second chances may or may not present themselves. Sometimes, we have to create them. Sometimes, they do present themselves, but we have to have our eyes and our spirits open to grasp the ring. Often enough, it’s a smoke ring. But if we aren’t ready, if we don’t reach, if we don’t take a chance on a few smoke rings, the golden ring will pass by unnoticed. Lenka isn’t one for much glitter. Our rings are titanium. Not flashy, not even shiny, but strong, without taint, and enduring. Yesterday, we celebrated our second anniversary. If I haven’t spoken much of Lenka here, it is because she remains the private woman she has always been, and I honor that. I do not write this to build a monument to her; she is her

own, living monument. I write this because she resurrected me and made me want to write after years of bitterness and disappointment in my fellow man. Just when I thought that my life was over, she pulled me back from the brink. And two weeks from today (if they wait for the doctor’s scheduled c-section) she will bring our two daughters into the world, and thereby give me more than a full-time job for the rest of my life. . She pushed me to get tested; they found a few live guys swimming around, and in-vitro made it possible. Another miracle! Never think that life is over quite yet, unless you want it to be. Love, like lightning, strikes when it is least expected. And as with lightning, if you have your eyes closed, you will certainly miss it.

Creating a World of Love and Humanity for Yourself Through DNA Theta Healing As told by Marina Rose

here are so many people on this planet who are kind to others, yet choose not to be kind to themselves. These people feed their pets better than they feed themselves and they are kinder to their pets than they are with themselves. They will go out of their way for their friends and family members but completely neglect themselves. For the most part, these people find it hard to love, honor and respect themselves. They believe everything that has ever happened to them was their fault and they were to blame, so they carry guilt and shame. They are also unable to forgive themselves for the abuse that someone else inflicted upon them. For the most part, these people have been hurt on such a deep level that they carry trauma with them wherever they go. Some of these people are consciously aware of this deep-seated hurt and they choose to be victims, seeking negative attention as a way of life. On the other side of the spectrum, there are people that are unaware of the trauma they are holding in their bodies. They are unaware that the choices they are making in their lives are coming from the aberration of trauma frozen in the fight-fright-flight response. This trauma can also be passed down to you in your DNA. Kim Bassinger once called actor Mickey Rourke “The human ashtray.” To say that this man hasn’t had trauma is like saying that the sun doesn’t rise every morning. He wears his pain and emotions on his sleeve during his performance. Rourke once said, “I’ve talked to my priest a lot. I used to have to call him or the shrink when there was an explosion, because I was really good at not talking to anybody until there was

an explosion.” On Sunday January 11th, 2009, Rourke won a Golden Globe for his role in “The Wrestler.” His acceptance speech revealed a lot about his character; he exposed himself and let everyone know that he has gone to hell and back. Rourke said, “I want to thank my dogs; the ones that are here and

If you focus on loving yourself you will be able to see how magnificent and incredible you are. the ones that are not here anymore. Sometimes when a man’s alone that’s all you’ve got: your dogs. They meant the world to me.” Everyone’s life has been tailor-made for them. They bring their parents’ DNA, past lives, and their families’ beliefs and experiences into their own life. Would you like to unravel some of your beliefs? You can choose which way you want to navigate through your DNA Blueprint: easily, effortlessly and efficiently, or with pain and ups and downs. What do you

choose? The bottom line is that we are all human beings. We are living and experiencing life. Everyone wants to be loved unconditionally. Now, imagine that you are finally ready to go on an incredible journey. This is a journey of a lifetime, where you will be going to all the places that you have always wanted to go to and discover. Imagine that this journey has been designed specifically for you, and you are so excited about it. Imagine transforming and transporting your trauma into true empowerment, enabling yourself to invest in loving yourself. Imagine how it feels to have allegiance to yourself, and to learn to allow the trauma, fright-flight-freeze response to melt away within the highest and best way for you, yourself. With DNA Theta Healing and DNA / Theta Core Belief Reprogramming you can do this and get brilliant and extraordinary results. There is nothing that cannot be healed when the mind, body and emotions are all aligned. DNA Theta Healing is basically quantum physics. What you focus on is what you get back. If you focus on the negative, you will get the negative back. If you focus on the positive, you will get the positive back. If you focus on loving yourself, you will love yourself and you will be able to see how magnificent and incredible you are.

Dear Ladies, I would like to invite you to my favourite workshop on “Sacred Union” which has evolved since my first presentation in 1999 in California and then toured throughout Poland in 2000. It contains the essence of each woman’s search for love, wholeness and the yearning for the union with the other. In my approach, I will guide you to discover the feminine and masculine aspects within yourself which so often are out of balance or in conflict. Together, we work and play to create a juicy, loving and supportive inner romance which will definitely enhance your outer relationships. There will be music, movements, art and the ancient imagery...

Heading Towards Healthier Relationships By Patricia J. Crane, Ph.D.

The journey of the heart is truly the only journey there is.

elationships seem to be one of the hottest topics these days. Everyone wants one, but hardly anyone seems happy once they're in one! Most of the time, when we are talking about relationships, we mean a romantic one with a significant other. However, relationships abound in our lives, ranging from the casual to the intimate. In truth, all relationships provide us with opportunities to grow spiritually and to practice unconditional love. Here are a few basics to remember when you are dealing with relationship issues, whether with a life partner, a friend, or even a business colleague.

— Relationships replay childhood dynamics and unhealed wounds. We bring people into our lives that will trigger these replays and thus help us with healing the past. Do you have a history of abandonment? The Law of Attraction will cause you to attract those who will abandon you—until the old hurts are healed. With the "abandonment scenario" in our psyche, you may fear abandonment so much that even when you attract a good relationship, your behavior, like being too needy and clingy, pushes the person away and results in abandonment. Set aside some quiet time to review your childhood and what you learned about relationships growing up. How are these themes being played out in your life today? Although just understanding the dynamics doesn't instantly heal the feelings, it does give you a new perspective on why you have attracted the type of relationships you have had up until now. You can then respond differently to the issues when they come up.

Throughout eternity, you forgive me and I forgive you.” -William Blake

— Relationships mirror parts of ourselves. We are quite comfortable with the wonderful and lovely parts of us we see reflected in others. When we see negative parts of ourselves reflected, we are often sure it's "the other person's problem!" This is called projection. The stronger your reaction to a negative part of someone else, the more likely you are judging some part of yourself. The person who is your greatest teacher is the one who bothers you the most! When you are reacting strongly to someone, ask yourself, "Who does this remind me of? How old do I feel? What is it that is really bothering me?" Perhaps the person reminds you of a domineering sibling or someone else significant from your childhood. When these feeling gets triggered, welcome them, because you have an opportunity to heal them.

— Take responsibility for your feelings and reactions. A Course in Miracles tells us that everything out there is a projection from inside. Be willing to take back your projections. Rather than blaming the other person, ask yourself, "What can I learn from this?" and "What are these feelings really about?" — Communicate your feelings without judgment. Your perception is your perception; it is not the truth. The other person's perception of the situation is different, or there wouldn't be an issue. Use "I" language (I feel...) to acknowledge that you realize the feelings are yours. Be open to listening to another point of view and working things out. — Be willing to see things differently and forgive. The poet William Blake once wrote this very short poem to his wife, "Throughout eternity, you forgive me and I forgive you." Blake succinctly shows us that forgiveness is most needed for those closest to us. However, forgiveness is important in all types of relationships. Forgiveness is not condoning the behavior of someone else; it is a gift to yourself that frees you from the tyranny of the past. When you are willing to see through the eyes of Spirit rather than the (always judging) eyes of the ego, miracles of healing occur. Patricia J. Crane, Ph.D. is an author, speaker and workshop trainer. She is committed to assisting people develop the skills they need to create a truly magical life. www.drpatriciacrane.com www.changeinsideout.com

PATHOLOGY COURSE FOR BODYWORKERS, a survey of pathological issues as musculo-skeletal conditions, traumatic injuries and

Long ago, in the in the dark of a desert night, earth dreamt of sky and sky felt his dreaming and so She came to him, floating down from the slowly turning constellations, silent as comets falling from an alchemical sky. Her touch manifested them both as real and Her breath on his face was hot like the night wind before the sands cooled in the bluish full-moon light. Together they entwined; tree trunk legs here, wispy cloud arms there…and they wound their way together towards the dawn and they knew oneness. In their dreamy time of love they found the elusive face of the Divine; their dualities merged and they became One. And at the moment of surrender, he called out Her names; O Isis! O Hathor! O Ishtar! O Aphrodite! And She answered. She always does. Serene Hathor comes at the sound of her name with her beatific face in the image of the cosmic cow; full and pale like the moon. Soft eyes watching, she moves like a dancer, and shaking her sistrum she leaves behind a perfumed heat suggesting lust and a love so deep that it aches. Her ways speak to us of desire, of pleasure and of abandon and she is best called upon when we long for love from the deep places within our body, our soul. Great Isis hears our call for love and comes with her gleaming cow horns upon her head, her restless scorpions clicking at her feet. Isis is best called upon for love lost, for she knows the way back from inconsolable sorrow and has tasted blinding bitter tears of grief. She knows the words of magic that will restore and remember us to wholeness, and she sings them to us as we cry over love, when our hearts broken open. Her blessed kite bird fans our bereavement fever and is a solemn witness to our pain. Ishtar hears your pleading, angry cries when your heart has been betrayed and her way is to come in like a wrathful wind looking to do harm. Her lovers have been consumed, destroyed and eaten in her rages and she shouts victory when nothing has been won and much has been lost. Her words are hot and breathy and her powerful lion paces watchfully at her

side, ready to defend and to protect us from going too far. Ishtar does not soothe us with soft words, but shows us how to cry out loud and fury against our fate. She teaches us in the end to accept what is meant to be and to hold our head high. But none more so than powerful and porcelain skinned Aphrodite knows love so deeply and so well. She hears us call to her, invoking her presence and she laughs softly as her oracle bird, the dove, teases her with its wings. Aphrodite is cool to the touch, like scalloped shells plucked from beneath shallow tides. Her way is to come slowly when called, moving like the still water she was born from. She speaks to us in hushed tones about love; the highest order of love, one that is pure and spiritual. She speaks of things meant to be, of patience and of freedom. Aphrodite holds up her mirror and shows us the way to inner beauty, self love and unconditional joy. Ever present above this goddess, dove coos with longing at the dusk of ending and with hopefulness at the start of dawn. Dove broods what she has hatched unwearyingly and knows hunger as she waits for things to finish. Dove is present as we grow in love and is always near as we learn the ways of our heart. She watches from her aerie vantage and sings a prophecy: Look closely into my mistresse’s mirror; see yourself truly. You will see a reflection of the Divine. Purify and cleanse your thoughts of love to raise them ever higher. Mourn that which is no more and is lost forever. Let go to awaken and walk as love walks, to act as love acts and to speak as love speaks. Fly with me now and rise above to your higher heart’s chamber where the view is clear. You can love without fear! And as the dove finishes her song, we catch a glimpse in the mirror that she was holding, of the tips of our own wings reflected back to us, feathers all flurried and graceful -- who knew we could fly! The confusion of this image startles us, and distracted and gasping; we fall. We fall heavily back towards the earth. We fall right into love and out of fear. Stunned to be here yet again, we smile feeling lighter already.

TUESDAYS

Of Love How great is love that forgets all ugliness and sees only in beauty – Transforms this dross stuff to tissue live with light and beauteous in form.

How understanding is love that speaks all tongues, Yet hears all words a symphony of notes to blend in universal harmony within the All Creative Voice.

How filled with purpose is this love when out the form and substance of all things, It creates a heavenly thing – a world apart, sublime in all the essences rare that beat within the heart of man.
