In The Planning Stage For "The Book"
(Cheeta: Cultivate Healing Environments - Enlighten Thru Arts!)
7.) This book is like life itself - an evolutionary journey that continues to unfold.

"... In our scientific times, we might say that magic is only taken seriously by children or by the young at heart. But, in order to progress as students of spiritual science we all need 'to become like little children' in respect to faith in what is possible through 'powers of mind.' We must be able to dream while fully awake.[8] It is largely toward this awakening of youthful forces in readers to which spiritually valuable and enduring literature addresses itself. Without youthful forces we stagnate in old ways. Only such forces can have a shaping effect on entrenched ideas and rigid cultural conventions. In fact Rudolf Steiner considered it one of the tasks of Anthroposophy to provide access to such youthful forces, which he said would “bring the world the rejuvenation which it needs.”[9] [10]
-
My underscore in the above quote is regarding the "awakening of youthful forces in readers". And as "Harry Potter" demonstrated these forces are not limited to children. And that which "would 'bring the world the rejuvenation which it needs' requires the cooperation of children and adults. The spirit, love and dedication of this cooperation is the nurturing focus of Cheeta. How to write all of this in a way that awakens "youthful forces in readers" is a question I am now most conscious of.

June 4, 2018 - "The Human Hunger for Enchantment" -
Inspired with the idea of a "Harry Potter" adventure adopted to Cheeta.
"Rowling’s secret is as simple and mysterious as her uncanny ability to nourish the human hunger for enchantment: she knows how to feed the desire not just to hear or read a story but to live it as well.
That is why so many people both young and naive and older and jaded have surrendered to the illusions set forth in Harry Potter’s fictional world. They want to believe the unbelievable, and Rowling makes it easy and great good fun for them to do so. How pleasant to be persuaded that an orphan named Harry Potter, who has lived for 10 years with the Dursleys, his cruel aunt and uncle and their hateful son Dudley, in a faceless English suburb–specifically 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging–learns shortly after his 11th birthday that he is really a wizard. What’s more, he is famous throughout the wizard world; although his parents were murdered by the evil Lord Voldemort (so feared that he is referred to only as “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named”), the infant Harry survived the attack with a lightning-bolt-shaped scar on his forehead.
Every event in the Potter books follows seamlessly from his initial self-discovery. Harry may be a skinny kid with glasses, green eyes and an unruly shock of black hair, but he also harbors uncertain potentialities. ..."[7]

This afternoon I was inspired upon reading" "the human hunger for enchantment" as in the above quoted article in the current special edition of TIME devoted to Harry Potter. The idea of "enchantment" is one that has been "stewing" on a back "burner" for a number of years and that just a couple days ago I had noted: "when your enchanted" as a possible search phrase to look into this more deeply. Now is most certainly a right-timing for me as I just entered my 9th Astrological House of: "study in depth of profound subjects", philosophy, teaching, the higher mind, etc. This is one of my most favorite "houses".

I have three sections in mind for this book. The second section keywords include "consciousness-raising". A truly complete communication cycle can be a "consciousness-raising" experience for both participants and often is the case in the "dyads" that I work with. "Consciousness-raising" experiences happen in many ways within the "Enlightenment Intensives". However these kinds of experiences are not limited to these intensives. It is possible that any two individuals who are able to communicate with one other can experience an "enhancement" of their consciousness through some form of a dyad communication process! That truth of that is a very significant part of my passion for focusing on writing this book!
My book's second section includes a number of systems that I have found supportive for my own consciousness-raising. These include: "The Human Design System", "Gene Keys", German New Medicine, Anthroposophy, A Course In Miracles (ACIM) and several more!
My personal Human Design includes an activation of my Crown Center Gate 64 at Line 5 by both my Personality Mercury and my Design Lunar South Node. This activation holds a major key regarding what I have to communicate in my lifetime.
This Gate corresponds to the 64th Gene Key and has an evolutionary path in consciousness traveling from the Shadow of "Confusion" through the Gift of "Imagination" to the Siddhi of "Illumination"! According to Richard Rudd this evolutional journey is actually one that every human being is on.
The Gene Key is joined by three other Gene Keys to form "The Ring of Alchemy". I recognize my life's purpose as being intertwined with alchemy. One of my favorite books over the past nine months has been: "Jung and the Alchemical Imagination". At the conclusion of reading that I decided I'd like to read: "Healing the Wounded God" by the same author: Jeffrey Raff (along with Linda Bonnington Vocatura).
Richard writes: "Each of the 64 Shadows is born out of the human mind's tendency to identify with whatever it sees." This statement refers to perception and it is very well addressed in ACIM. Human perception is subject to the mind's projections. That is why the Human Design System says no matter what your Human Design may look like (what you have Defined, etc.) your mind is not the basis to make any important decisions for your life! That alone can be a truly liberating piece of good news for many, many individuals!
"In my book" The Human Design System is coupled with Gene Keys. I recommend both of these for anyone wanting to know themselves and others more deeply. I count them as "higher octane fuel" for the "propulsion" through our shared evolutionary journey!

Had good conversation with my dear friend Dominique the evening before that included some update on my book including inviting her to possibly do some co-creating of that with me. The timing seems aligned now as she reported probably entering a writing class. I mentioned the practice of writing non-stop, uncensored and unedited for five minutes each day, a process I first got from "Writing Down The Bones" and more recently from a temporary housemate by the name of Sara Deutch
.
In the last several days I got turned onto a new book: "Conscious Language™, The Logus Of Now" and find that it has some correspondence with my book! Here's an except from the 2nd chapter where the author quotes the book of James:
"... 'For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in
word, the same is a perfect man and able also to bridle the
whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that
they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Behold also the ships, which though they be so great and are
driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very
small helm, whithersoever the governor listed.' James 3:2-4
(The author says) It took me months to begin to assimilate this statement. What did 'A man who offended not in word' mean? Well, after much study
and prayer, my take on this is: I AM that I AM is Pure. When we speak or think a statement using the Lord's Name in Vain, use the 'AM's' Name in vain, then we are offending our Creator; we are offending our Heart, offending Perfection within us.
'May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, oh Lord.'
By having our Language be pure, holy, clean, true, honest, blessed, blessing, clear, and definite we are using our tongues consciously and constructively.
'I can't,' 'I am not,' and 'I want' are all phrases which offend the Great 'I.'
All these phrases start with 'I,' which is the “'AM.' Can our 'I AM that I AM' ever 'can't?' Can our 'I AM that I AM' ever 'want?' Our 'I AM' IS! God is what Is. 'I am not' is impossible to our 'I AM that I AM.' 'I am not' is ok, for Babel and our little selves, our old self not our 'I AM that I AM' Self, our New Self. God Is Existence, Beingness, Omnipresent, Light, here and now.
'I AM the first and I AM the last; and beside me there is no
God.' —Isaiah 44
'I AM the LORD and there is none else, there is no God
beside me.' —Isaiah 45:5
...
Every limiting language pattern reveals some new choice waiting to be made. ..."
I am remembering my early days in "The Church" (early 1970s) when I responded to the language expressed by family members and the resistance I encountered at that time. The resistance is not the point I wish to emphasize. The fact is that I realized the consciousness aspect of language then and began my own deconditioning process way before the publishing of "The Four Agreements" (which interestingly enough I sent copies of to family members and which was better received)! There is one example of the importance of the right form for "correction" to be received by an individual. I gladly accept the wisdom of this now!
"Be Impeccable With Your Word"[1] and you will "Be transformed by the renewal of your mind"!

I mentioned about my book's second section. The third section encourages the individual to find/rediscover their place within a greater whole. That greater whole may take virtually any form that an individual can either co-create with others or that is already formed providing two things. Firstly that it has a purpose that is beneficial for all.[3] Secondly that it recognizes[4] and honors the individual's full expression of their authentic uniqueness (as indicated with the individual's Human Design BodyGraph).

The book's third section would also include ways of building trust - bonding with others. "Trust comes when we are able to predict what other people will do, and we achieve that by repeated cooperative actions. ... We create our own joys, and we feel happiest in learning to trust each other."[5]

I see the possibility of a fourth section that would be inserted between the second and the third sections as I had outlined above here; OR - what I'm thinking of adding could be a prelude to the current third section. The subject matter is on nurturing our interdependence. In any case of the book sections - the "case" for "interdependence" deserves to be well presented and in some way positioned right before what would be the final section on co-creating. My note form which I've added this has the following.:
1. Mechanics of Communication.
2. Enlarging our Dimension of Understanding.
3. Nurturing our Interdependence.
4. Co-creating Healthy communities.

Although it's been ten whole months since my last entry I still have writing and publishing this book in mind. In fact within the last day or so I was "visualizing" attending a conference as a speaker and having the book available for the audience.
Today's "Thought" from Omraam's teachings speaks to me re: this book:
"If you would like the words you say to touch human souls and lead them onto the right path, be aware that they must be imbued with the luminous substance of your aura. ..."[6] I intend to add this at about the end of the first section that is devoted to the "logos" of communication.
