"Each time we increase
understanding between one man and one
woman we come closer to bringing the
Enchanted Garden down to earth."
Woke up Monday with a range of feelings.
Gave Joan de Arc a call. It was a sweet conversation.
in the Memories of the World's Greatest Lovers
de Arc is an amazing growth experience for my Soul.
When you visit the Enchanted Garden growing grounds
next time, you will see in the side garden on the limbs
of a peach tree (sad to say, no longer living),
a tea pot hanging and on another branch a tea cup.
Those were gifts from de Arc and have remained there
these many years.
Should there be a massive earthquake in the
Thousands Oaks area, should their be a power outage,
or some major political shift of revolutionary proportions,
likely during the morning hour she awakens you will
find de Arc reading the LA Times and having her morning
brew.
Her second son, now eight, home schooled, knows Mommy
likes to read the newspaper first thing in the morning
so he goes out, gathers it in, and brings it to the bedroom before she awakens.
Her Soul this life has some influence on the affairs of state
as her eyes read the various events called news.
These years she stays pretty close to home.
She is taking this incarnation off with some down time.
She smokes some pot, she has stakes of papers
iin the living room that never quite get to the
recycling. She threatens to get organized.
She still speaks French quite fluently,
presumably from learning it at Princeton
UCSB, or High School.
A So Cal woman most of her life
she went to France right after college
and passed herself off as a street artisan
with no trouble.
Most of all this life she is a great, great mom
of two boys, one who is now starting art school.
I ask her what her spirituality is?
She says gardening, of course,
"and that all Religions are an abomination,"
if you scratch below the surface, you will find
a former Catholic, current Pagan, who once had
a quite a love affair with a quasi Jewish man,
who happens to be me.
A book came out after one of the phases of our love,
"Prayers to Mend the Heart,": the result of
at least nine months of energy that had to go someplace
once the two bodies stopped connecting
and all the silent and noisy chemistry had its day.
I remember a day in Beverly Hills.
I accompanied her to the Dentist.
She needed a ride. She was sitting in the drivers seat
and looked into me with the deepest loving glances.
I took it in and still carry it to this day.
de Arc was the inspiration for the line,
"Enjoy your co-dependency while you still have it."
That book "Prayers to Mend the Heart"
really deserves to come off the shelf and be out in
circulation. It has some powerful understandings
between man and woman
that i learned through love making with de Arc:
"It's your right to stand up as a woman."
"You will never abuse power.
It's your right to tell others to back off,
to tell others when they are out of line iwth you.
Keep Expressing yourself."
"May your flesh express your deepest word,
and healing pour out upon all your circumstances..
Your gentle strength is a model for midwifing
this entire Earth, and your passion its fullness.:"
"Some people think power is one-up-man-ship.
This is not correct. Power is the capacity to cuase
movement through inspiration. It is a feminine impulse,
an orgasm of God."
:"Keep on being you. You will never lose for loving
and speaking your truth in a world very much
coming together through love.":

[In questioning Joan regarding all
the gifts that King Charles VII bestowed upon her]
Priest: Did he not also give you many dresses? Silk dresses, weren't they?
Joan of Arc: Yes, he gave me a few, but I never had time to wear them.
Priest: Still... You seem a little wealthy to be a simple peasant, don't you think?
Joan of Arc: You seem a little wealthy to be a servant of God, don't you think?

The Conscience: Who are you to even think
that you can know the difference between good and evil?

His messages. And right now He is beating so hard,
it's splinting my ears!

Joan of Arc: How dare you stop me from doing God's will?
Aulon: He didn't tell you to cut all your hair.
Joan of Arc: How dare you tell me what God tells me to do?
Aulon: Whatever, but since he's not going to come down and do it himself - I mean - at least let someone cut it properly!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joan of Arc: This morning God gave us a great victory, but it is nothing compared to what he is ready to give us now. I know you are all tired and hungry, but I swear to you that even if these English were hanging from the clouds by their fingertips we would pull them down before nightfall. Now let all those who love me... follow me! Follow me!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aulon: But how do you know that these voices aren't just really you?

Aulon: JOAN!
Joan of Arc: Wh - why are you looking at me like that?
Aulon: Because there's an arrow in your leg!
Joan of Arc: What? Oh... Well that doesn't stop me from climbing! (prompts Aulon to go ahead) Raymond! Take this arrow out of my leg!

Aulon: He said he'd think about it.

you're not helping yourself by refusing to submit to our judgment.
Joan of Arc: You, who claimed to be my judges,
you'll be careful, for you too one day will be judged.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joan of Arc: Give me an army, send me to Orlean, and I will show you the sign I was sent to make.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joan of Arc: I don't think. I leave that to God.
I'm just a Messenger in all of this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joan of Arc: [to Glassdale] Yield! Yield, to the King of Heaven!
Or go back to your island.

Joan of Arc: There's nothing to hear! And why is there nothing to hear? Because I haven't DONE anything! And why haven't I done anything? Because none of you, WILL LISTEN TO ME!

and I've done everything He's ever asked me to do.

OHer first name, "Jehanne" or "Jhenne" ("Joan" or "Joanna" in English) was virtually the most common female name in that era, appearing prominently and repeatedly in all French families of the late medieval period. And yet, outrageous conclusions have been drawn based on this name: for instance, some authors have solemnly informed us that the name was "common among witches", as if to imply that the witchcraft charges against her were true based solely on her name (despite the fact that her conviction was on allegations of heresy rather than witchcraft: her accusers themselves
dropped all of the witchcraft charges before drawing up the final 12 articles of accusation). Using similar logic, we would have to conclude that St. Joan was a Duchess, since there were so many Duchesses named Jehanne, toomn3 (and Countesses, Baronesses, nuns, prostitutes...). Her name was so common, in fact, that some scholars have speculated that she was called "La Pucelle" partly in order to distinguish her from the vast multitude of other Jehannes in 15th century France. In her native village she had been nicknamed "Jhennette" ("little Joan"), a common affectionate form of the name which may have also distinguished her from the older Jehannes in her village, of whom at least three are known to us: Jehanne de Viteau, Jehanne Royer, and "Aubéry's wife" Jehanne, all of whom had served as her godmothers.7
