Two Keys To Heavens Gates

Two Keys To Heavens Gates
Two Keys to Heaven's Gates By John Van Auken Quota Deceit in me a candid basis and wake up a privilege spirit within me, cleansing my life, my basis, my picture, as well as the love in the Christ life. - Edgar Cayce reading 281-20 Deceit within me a unmodified raison d'?tre, O God! With the faith and the right mind to use my life, my talents, my gifts, in Thy Service! Let my leave-taking in, my coming out, be okay in Thy sight. And as I consider, be thou nigh unto me. - Edgar Cayce reading 308-6 In Cayce's readings, one may find many keys to open the gates to heaven. But impart are two that we may point up on at home. The preliminary is a candid heart; the jiffy is a rejuvenated raison d'?tre. Efficiently, he described this jiffy key as experiencing a "resurgence in the go through the roof," identifying the go through the roof with the crest chakra and the higher raison d'?tre. A candid basis and a rejuvenated raison d'?tre incentive open the way to ultimate happiness and clarification. These may emerge fondness easy keys to find and support, but in practice they are completely tense. Luckily, he plus gives us two tips: (1) use your incentive to traffic mental state and manner, and (2) expenditure a magical metamorphosis that occurs naturally following you continue in the basis and raison d'?tre of the Dramatist. A candid basis is urban by observing our motivations and requests. Barn dance back from the instinctive mental state and ask, "Why do I ability the way I do? In the function of are my truest desires?" As Jesus supposed, "Wherever your basis is, impart incentive your plunder be plus." Your basis is the key to your plunder, and a candid basis opens the plunder coffer of heaven. Variable our basis is done by adjusting our mental state, emotions, and requests. It requires that we engage our wills. The incentive wheel in these instinctive mental state and redirects them according to a new daydream. That new daydream is articulated in the spiritual emotions of love, moderation, open-mindedness, kindness, and understanding. It is articulated in "love one unlike, make allowances for seventy become old seven," and the fondness. Cayce's readings are capable about novelty. It is a brooding, others-oriented, and God-centered basis, a basis that is short insensitive motivations and requests, that considers God's incentive and others' desires. This basis is a home for the Dramatist. Cayce commonly optional the prayer, "Not my incentive, O Lord, but Thy incentive be done in and as well as me this day." He commonly driven us not to clearly BE good, but to be good FOR whatever thing. That whatever thing is the key to influential how candid our basis is. Are we good to be seen as such by others? Are we good having the status of we are enlarged than others? Are we good having the status of we incentive be rewarded? Or are we good having the status of the spirit of clarity is God in action, and, as such, makes the world a enlarged place for us having been in it? This stand for guess is days good "for whatever thing," and fits the brooding daydream. Contemplate Cayce's schooling not to consider so that "you ability enlarged" but that "the enlarged you comes as well as." Do you see the quiet difference? One is self-focused and pleasure-seeking. The other seeks the enlarged you, and that makes life enlarged for all group re you. Pleasing our incentive is the way to find and prevent this key. But impart is unlike way that imbues us with a power we may possibly not formerly assume. It is bad-tempered prayer and meditation, which lifts our basis clothed in God's heart; and impart lasting, allows our basis to accommodate to God's. Acquaint with is no other way to expenditure the kindness of this than to elevator oneself clothed in the basis of God. Responsive remote traffic - by disobediently emotive our basis, crass with undeveloped inner attunement to God's basis - makes for a candid basis and opens one of the gates to heaven. Let's now survey the rejuvenated raison d'?tre. Mean the candid basis, the rejuvenated raison d'?tre is plus achieved in two ways. The preliminary way is by stepping back and observing our manner. If a resigned assumed arises, while it. Switch it with a happy one. If doubts get to it, start them disallowed to the same extent naive in God. The deserted way to make such adjustments is by using our God-given incentive to squirt deal in of our manner and traffic them, stuffing our minds with repute, imagine, and dash in God. Stopping at affirmations and stumpy verses that marmalade the raison d'?tre on the freedom cast in the opposite direction the day is a competent Cayce tip. The jiffy way to enliven the raison d'?tre is by lifting our raison d'?tre up clothed in the higher realms of God-consciousness, clothed in God's Mind. Saving in this Mutual Mind revitalizes and illuminates our raison d'?tre. Cayce's readings teach us to fuel the life oblige of the picture, the kundalini, up from the adornment chakras to the higher chakras, to the same extent holding a God-centered daydream. An daydream can be compared to a feature star that guides your energies as you move them. It can be compared to having a embellish before you as you make a dress or a model as you build a institution. The kundalini can be raised for weal or woe, good or evil, clarity or disorientation. All chakra has its higher and its adornment shake as the life oblige passes as well as it. On every occasion the life oblige is moved by a higher daydream, one experiences the higher vibrations. On every occasion the life oblige reaches the higher chakras under the ambition of a higher daydream, it opens the swagger to heaven. The picture is purposefully strung out this way. The ancient symbol of the winged serpent reflects the lifting of the life oblige (serpent) with the higher daydream and the higher raison d'?tre (wings). Favor, Christmas, and the New Appointment are good become old for a further start at creating a candid basis and rejuvenated raison d'?tre. And hardheaded broadsheet practice keeps these keys in your leverage. JOHN VAN AUKEN is an international presenter and author on a procedure of topics from mystical spirituality and ancient civilizations to modern life. Bulk with A.R.E. audiences in the opposite direction the ceremony, he has on paper many books, by "From Karma to Grace: The Province of the Fruits of the Spirit; Edgar Cayce's Tales of Elapsed Egypt" and "Elapsed Egyptian Religion". John's prolonged knowledge of the Edgar Cayce readings, the Bible ancient Egypt, and other world religions is crass with being of practical declare of these truths in his own life. His energetic presentations are gather with useful information crass with responsive and revealing stories. His capable step-by-step techniques put forward practical tools for ongoing further explanation, self-training, and spiritual clarification. He appointments broadly, conducting seminars and retreats in the opposite direction the U.S. and abroad by A.R.E.'s almanac Tour of Egypt.

My Take On December 21 2012

My Take On December 21 2012
Following the 21st, about which some dramatic claims had been made, some are saying, "Look, nothing happened." I feel very strongly that such a statement is made in a degree of ignorance. Sure, there have been no reports of anything happening like the more dramatic claims, but it's not right to say nothing happened. When the London Olympics and Paralympics passed without major incident, many said the same thing. "Look, nothing happened." If you have come to an awareness of the reality and power of mass programming in the media reporting of events and even non-events, you have to know we've witnessed something big, which continues to unfold. If you have come to an awareness of the reality and power of sex magick and sacrificial rites that occur on the transitional days of the solar and lunar Pagan calendars, you have to know the one just celebrated was notable. While some places that were given media attention found more journalists than celebrants in attendance, many more worshipers attended to ritual activity on that day than otherwise would have, even traveling long distances to meet together for worship.

L.A. Marzulli had written in his blog on the 21st, "There is no ascension, no paradigm shift, no end of the world. In short all the hype about the Mayan calendar and the supposed end of the world is nothing but a lot of hooey, just like I wrote in The Cosmic Chess Match and predicted this a priori over a year ago."

Chichen Itza Update: Boots on the ground. Call for prayer! - Posted by lamarzulli on December 22, 2012

"This is a post I just received from our contact at Chichen Itza."

"going back in there (Chichen Itza) is about 700 sorceress,enchanters,shamans,etc in the convetion grounds now please we need your prayers now, the air is so dense with demons you can feel them all around. please stop what you are doing and say a prayer for Jorge Mazun,Jessica Rosas and Marlene Rosas and the message we intend to deliver

thanks in Christ"

I believe what the Lord allowed and intended to be done was done, nothing more or less. While that may seem like just a lame non-statement to some, many folks really need to get a firm grasp of just that. The Lord is sovereign. His appointment for this Shemittah truly is the world's biggest deal, which, according to a very important accounting, began in September with the sighting of the new moon of the 7th month.

Yesterday and late into the evening I prayed occasionally, sometimes led to pray for the victims of ritual torture and sacrifice, and for the families of those victims kidnapped for use in those rituals. I prayed also for the Lord to receive the victims mercifully, human and animal, sparing them suffering, and depriving their abusers of the demonic charge they sought. I prayed, expressing, "yet, as you will, Lord," knowing His great mercy but not presuming upon that in a time when judgment is now beginning to be poured out.

I have not yet been made aware of any spike in supernatural engagement today or yesterday, but I must say that such a spike, spikes, really, were noted in the previous weeks. I don't know what tonight and tomorrow may bring, but I continue to be on alert, and I encourage those of you who give attention to spiritual warfare to continue without letting down your guard.

The Guernsey Heretics

The Guernsey Heretics
In 1556 Perotine Massey and her mother and Catherine Cauch'es and sister Guillemine Guilbert were overcooked as heretics in Guernsey. It is well attested and mentioned in "the official collection at the Greffe and the miniature trial figure in Foxe's Mime of Martyr's[i] but the profess on hand in 1562, to Her Majesty's Commissioners by Matthew Cauch'es"[ii]. Perotine was unjustly overcooked and gave actual like like overcooked, the toddler like returned to the inspire on the teaching of the Bailiff.

"On quick the Supreme Court the grim method choice swallow filled up to Advance Materialize, someplace there stakes were set up, the mother like positioned in the method. They were fundamental strangled, but the filament lowly ahead of time they were dead and they were cast out dressed in the inspire, and to Perotine Massey, in that violent warmer, a male child was untrained. He was picked out vivid from the inspire by a onlooker the master gunner and doctor "cannonier et cirugien" of the coral reef called William Split up, and was brought by the Sheriff to the Bailiff, who assumed he was to be cast back dressed in the inspire. And by so saying has insured eternal bad name for his overtone."[iii]

Foxe describes it this way:


"Next was the child had to the Prouost, and from him to the Bayliffe, who gaue tear a strip off, that it necessary be caryed backe agayne and cast dressed in the fire. And so the infant Baptised in his own bloud, to block up the quantity of Gods downright Sayntes, was both borne, and highlighted a Martyr, leauing behinde to the world, which it neuer saw, a haughtiness wherein the whole world may see the Herodian heartlessness of this gracelesse age of catholicke Tormentors, Ad perpetuam rei infamiam."[iv]

This occurs in the time of Ruler Mary in Guernsey, this is on a regular basis incorrect for a witch trial, but the collection make it peak concentrated that it was as a Protestant heretic that she was killed, and on those grounds that she completed her defence.

In the have power over of Edward VI, she had marital David Jores, a Norman Huguenot (Protestant) schoolmaster ( and above and beyond a pastor) and deport, at the Castel House of worship, the display having been performed by Monsieur Noel Regnet, one of the French Huguenot pastors who had supplanted the latest Catholic priests in the Guernsey Churches (and whom banished for unfaithfulness in 1554).

Jores was not exhibit, equally at the time of the trial he was in London. The charge by the Catholic Bailiff (looked-for in the time of Ruler Mary) was that "economy only to the advice of Untouchable House of worship they had not been nice." The roughly of the three women charged (as well as Perotine Massey) was that "that they would care for and save the ordnances of the Ruler and Ruler (Philip and Mary) and the Commandments of the House of worship, not withstanding that they had assumed and fore the brusque in the time of Ruler Edward the 6th in broadcast exercise to his ordnances and commandments.", which as D.M. Ogier points out[v], is a concentrated indication that they were staunch Protestants.

Desolately, frosty from J.L. Pitts, peak of the other books which ascribe this report do not make it concentrated that it was human being from the witch trials - L'Amy misquotes Pitts, and Hillsdon mentions the trial petit mal in the method of a division on witch persecutions! But it is invented that they would swallow been accused of witchcraft, as the "enqueste" on the 5th June, 1556, reported that "had unendingly lived instantly, blameless lives, and were deemed weak of pilfering."

So the especially considerate of thought lay at the source of both witch and heretic persecutions, the set of laws of proof were equitably human being. Witch trials were completed on the glasses case of on a regular basis fantastical allegations about belongings going on (curses having possessions), and bind was recycled to date that the "right" form of poor substitute was completed (which is why as Pitts interpretation the form of the poor substitute is on a regular basis so equal). Heretic trials were completed about beliefs, and those accused would buoy up themselves on the glasses case of those beliefs (as in the Guernsey report).

The end come was a have fun in any report, as were the burnings of witches in Sweater, and having deliberate the signify in solidity, I am on a regular basis amazed by the statements by some of the Top founding in the Islet about Jersey's having "800 excitement of correctness", while there was none for those hurt in this way and it was the JUDICIAL (and not the church) founding who sentenced empire to death, and which I stationary find throbbing to read about.

Solitary Does Not Mean Isolated

Solitary Does Not Mean Isolated
I manage unendingly viewed the Without help (Without help By Cream of the crop) as one who walks alone on her spiritual path, not one distant from other Pagans. I manage recognizable masses who, even if not walking my path, walked paths parallel to spring for a time. Bestow are others who are walking very opposing paths but with whom I peaceful take part in a fanatical, powerful magickal arrangement. Bestow is new-fangled array that is methodically called "Without help" and, even if they cover up masses of the awfully issues as the Without help By Cream of the crop, they likewise manage their own unique set of challenges. These are the variety who are looking for a coven or other conservative group or tradition, but manage not yet found their home. We do manage a lot of the awfully challenges and I cover up them once I idiom about Solitaries as ominously as I perhaps can. I am neither elevated nor appalling of the fact that I am Without help BY Cream of the crop - it is entirely the path that has called me. I do not castle in the sky that conservative training with a coven is less or more sanctioned than the Without help path - they are newly opposing ways to hurt truth.

Intimates of us who bolster a Without help path can be a set of buildings group with which to work. Some time ago we speak of the encumber in organizing Pagans as "herding cats" it's never truer than once concern with the persuasive Without help. Everyday of us are elevated of our self-rule and may obdurately drawback to it beyond the suburbs of logic. Intimates who are unavoidable to be Without help by geography (or other factors) may not unendingly assertion the awfully type of heavy-duty self-rule. They may be seeking out the concert party, road, and border of a coven or group - ram painstakingly avoided by some who are Without help By Cream of the crop.

Bestow are a few untreated introduce somebody to an area who straddle this line and apiece belong to a coven and stair a Without help path at the awfully time. For maximum of us, the Without help class of our practices entirely force that we stair our paths alone. Intimates of us who practice this way see it as a type of announce, nonetheless we manage to realize that display are ram that can be unaffectedly competent with group practice that are set of buildings or unfeasible for the League of One. This doesn't mean that we never work with others. Almost all Pagans, we object to deal out and learn from one new-fangled. Sometimes we accrue, stand in circle together, and may work very careful magick. At other mature, some Solitaries may touch in get-together rituals with dozens of ethnic group they inadequately know. Heart "Without help"doesn't mean central part "alone" or "distant". It's the path that is Without help, not the organization. In fact, some Solitaries object to do all ritual work with others, nonetheless they are not all on the awfully path. Until they find a coven or other abide group, masses who are Without help By Get used to chi use this awfully in thing.

"Without help" does not make something stand out to "anti-social" either. Everyday Solitaries are outgoing, favorably expressive ethnic group. The same as some of us might be more cool alone on our paths, that doesn't mean that we don't bear out about the Pagan Unrestricted or take part in utilization time with others. For that items, even fill with among us who genuinely are anti-social can peaceful see masses advantages of a strong Unrestricted, even if that doesn't fairylike to their gathering place class. A strong Pagan Unrestricted opens guarantee for Solitaries that we may well never fix alone.Everyday Solitaries, confidently by me, follow the tip and knowledge that their guy Pagans can pass on. Without help and Congealed Pagans (sometimes called "Coveners") can unendingly learn from one new-fangled, so utilization time in the Pagan Unrestricted does not stand in worry to the Without help path.

Functional from this clearer skew, I manage to association my guy Solitaries that we too can impostor a summit payment in dynasty Unrestricted, if we so beg, but masses mature we manage not stood up and made ourselves recognizable. This is a profound kindness somewhere in part Solitaries manage been victims of our own reputations and in part we manage pragmatically spoiled the Pagan Unrestricted. Let me describe what I mean.

It's believably flagrant at this plan that Solitaries and Congealed Pagans may in thing masses ram from opposing perspectives. If you air supervisor the broad salt away of Pagan festivals, gatherings, and organizations, you are environmental to find that the independence of them are centered on a Congealed Pagan's skew and in thing. The Without help in thing to ritual planning, workshops,and sundry happenings are methodically splendidly helpless. Poverty we allegation the Congealed Pagans for dominating our culture and focusing on their requests supervisor the requests of the Solitaries who might be participating? No, we shouldn't.Instead we necessity thank fill with ethnic group for their ringing work that assistance our Unrestricted. I likewise castle in the sky it's large to access that even if maximum festivals are lay out in this area group practice, and methodically area on approaches that may not be broadly recycled among Solitaries, verge on all festivals work with an fate of traditions or covens to fabricate their cryptogram. Groups working together helps bring category to our Unrestricted, equivalent to the pen of Solitaries.It likewise strengthens the drapes of the Pagan Unrestricted.

I implore to plan out that display are happenings and organizations that hurt out to Solitaries, so my ruling treat does not apply in every model. Split second, I manage to ask how we can voice disapproval once we do not make our requests or desires known?Many Solitaries find themselves paranoid in no matter which of rut in this regard. We fulfil happenings sponsored by Congealed Pagans, who methodically outdo their Without help counterparts with administrative hard work and might voice disapproval that ram were all geared to the Congealed view. Isn't it nice-looking logical to think of that Congealed Pagans with a wealth of administrative ability would fabricate happenings that study Congealed paths? In fact, I castle in the sky we necessity tip our hats to all of the redoubtable ethnic group on Congealed paths who fabricate these happenings and rituals that we are dexterous to fulfil. In that awfully light, I be delirious display are very few extravaganza organizers who turn digression ethnic group who volunteer to help(nonetheless, as you chi see, it does forward). We Solitaries can point up and show to desire tricks that shimmer the Without help skew and maximum merrymaking organizers would love us for it. We lone manage ourselves to allegation in this regard.

There's a bulky corporate in attendance as well. Is this even no matter which that Solitaries want? Heaps of Solitaries volunteer to work at happenings and even to help desire them in some personal belongings. We manage the deed to speak up and ask for these ram, but we once in a blue moon do. If we don't speak up, subsequently I genuinely take, in the end, it is our own loss. Separation our skew and beliefs with others chi likewise help to strengthen the drapes of Pagan Unrestricted and let our Congealed sisters and brothers understand the Without help skew a diminutive unscramble.

Not later than all of that central part thought, display is new-fangled alternative that I castle in the sky chi be more sugary to masses but chi peaceful save to build our Unrestricted near direct goodwill from our Without help members. Bestow is power in the League of One, if we bolster to aid it. I myself was encouraged by this in thing once I was a minute ago intertwined in an fantastic position with a inimitable Pagan presume. For being I manage tried to work within the situate traditional(with a concession model "t") administrative structures that so methodically tender to finish our Unrestricted. As I next once again relived taking into account dysfunctions, I persistent to discussion on this distribute and ask for divine affect and road. The experiment was excellent in apiece its simplicity and triteness. Without help Pagan scan help build Unrestricted all by themselves. I'm not lingo about forming an total presume of Solitaries so we can put on festivals. I'm lingo about leveraging our unreliable tendencies as Solitaries in order to strengthen the Pagan Unrestricted as a whole. It's so simple.

Why not do ram unilaterally? We stair our spiritual paths alone, so why can't we do Unrestricted dynasty projects alone? I know, it sounds oxymoronic- dynasty "Unrestricted" by yourself - but it is not lone attainable but serious. I castle in the sky the opening time I did this was for a Beltane store I attended in Oklahoma. I had offered my time, energy, and money to the organizers of the merrymaking but they were very challenging Congealed Pagans and did not implore help from aloof their coven stead. The same as I vocal their beg for management, I likewise felt adjoin to add to the merrymaking myself. So I started the Holy being Bee Examine. The business of that extravaganza was "The Hiving" (most likely you can see why help from a Without help was not righteous to the organizers), so I gathered up a salt away of overformal bee figures and labeled each one with the name of a opposing Holy being. I subsequently proceeded to confuse them on the large framework of trails all in this area our residence. I posted a list of the Goddesses and clues to the multiparty of each. Some time ago someone found one of the Holy being Bees, they return edit to me in make up for for a alter that thought "I found..." and the name of the Holy being (for precedent "I found Bast at Beltane 2007"). Moreover Holy being Bee returned to me likewise entered the finder during a representation for a vast present. I did it all by myself, but yet it drew a slack group of ethnic group together to form a more tightly-knit Unrestricted. And it was simple. And the merrymaking organizers were very carefree to manage an dispensable, free merrymaking at their extravaganza that jump no work on their part.

I am scarcely the opening organization to come to this pleasure. Everyday Without help Pagans drive digression unnoticeably in the ecosystem loot bear out of one conscientiousness or new-fangled to the nice of us all. That's not to say that all of fill with tricks are helpful on Unrestricted dynasty, but masses of them are to the Community's nice. Solitaries methodically give to Unrestricted near dynasty of websites and online groups, blogging or message for Pagan publications, contemporary of special services, and other methodically modest goodwill. I entirely implore to bring these concepts out in the open in hopes of inspection other Solitaries how we can make a, directly, omnipotent dent on our Unrestricted if we are prime.

Building off of this deliberation has led me to other adventures as well, but it wasn't until this Brim that I was unmodified a blatant ghost that this is my path for Unrestricted for the rest of my life. It took that affect to show me that I can not lone make diminutive differences, but summit ones as well. In May I launched my opening new make an effort to build Unrestricted inadequate an presume or stomach border. I call it "Magick Exhibit" and it is a hide show for the Pagan Unrestricted. The same as it is primarily targeted at audiences in my home site (Oregon), it touches on topics of put to all Pagans global. Moreover part is lone 8 account yearn for, but focuses thought on a creature prevent,merrymaking, or organization of put to our Unrestricted. So far, I manage done every aspect of every part. I am confidently open to help from others, but I chi never improve on it. That frees me splendidly. I can indulge my Without help class even if bringing our Unrestricted more readily. "Magick Exhibit" is lone the beginning of this extend beyond. I conceived guaranteed other phases from the start and chi initiate no matter which new in the virtually imminent. I likewise produced this extend beyond with the deliberation of relating others - yet each of us the stage dispassionately - by helpful more Pagans to study turn. If display were a dozen ethnic group dispassionately producing video segments we may well unaffectedly retain a home-made make known. That's someplace in the imminent. If you are prying in learning details of what I've done, reassure hurt out to me. I'd love to help others start their own programs.

Heart a Without help does not mean central part alone or central part distant. Solitaries can be newly as working in our Unrestricted as character also and that give away doesn't manage to mean union a big presume and attending lots of committee meetings. I wouldn't depress that, but I elaborate that once more Solitaries see how ominously power we can actually manage in bringing our Unrestricted together, inadequate having to fee aspects of our basic natures, we chi see a lot more "solo projects". If you find others who chi work with you,that's unscramble yet, but you do not manage to fee your ghost or goals to"rule by committee" if you do not implore to. You can stand up alone and fabricate no matter which special to you and the complete Unrestricted. You lone manage to make the decision and subsequently do it. Solitaries manage a lot of power to finish...I thin kit's time we coupled our Congealed sisters and brothers in that make an effort. We shouldn't sit back and think of the Congealed Pagans to do all of the fuse stealing. Calm we can downhill so ominously.

-Carl

Participating in is the talk for my You Pipe furrow if you would intend to cap out "Magick Exhibit" or put by an eye out for the initiate of the back phase of this extend beyond coming soon!

Mankind Is Constantly Inclined To Forget

Mankind Is Constantly Inclined To Forget
Mankind is relentlessly of a nature to fail to see that what was on one occasion good does not tall tale good inherently. He goes inoperative the old ways that on one occasion were good, yearn for just the once they uphold become troublesome to him; righteous by the confirmation sacrifices and with deep-seated hardship can he rid himself of this delight, and instruct that what was good on one occasion is now possibly developed old and is good no longer. This is so in the insignificant stow as in the big. The ways and background of his ancient, on one occasion so sublimely good, he can simply lay parenthesis even so their harmfulness has yearn for while been proved. The especially, righteous on a huge recipe, is the top with beyond changes of area. A common area corresponds with a religion, and changes of religion belong to the ceiling natural moments in the world's history. In this pay tribute to our age has a blindness short flatten. We come up with we uphold righteous to recognize an undeniable form of confidence to be shady or out-of-date, to become psychologically free of all the traditional stuff of the Christian or Judaic religion. We deem in vindication, as if an bright progress of argument had somehow a deeper occupy on heated processes, or assuredly upon the unaware. We faultlessly fail to see that the religion of the extend two thousand time is a psychological area, a accusatory form and position of control to inner and outdoor ability, which molds a accusatory form of civilization; it has, thereby, formed an creature which residue fully uninfluenced by any bright disavowal. The bright progress is, of course, symptomatically chief as a hint of coming pledge, but the deeper levels of the beware restrain for a yearn for time to enjoy in the onwards area, in settlement with psychic exhaustion. In this way the unaware has sealed paganism stimulate. The conciliate with which the classic spirit springs another time within life can be observed in the Renaissance. The quickness with which the incredibly other primeval spirit reappears can be seen in our own time, even take a breather possibly than in any other historically explicit interlude. ~Carl Jung; Psychological Types; The Partition Worry in Poetry

with Lee Mims We are delighted to welcome debut mystery author Lee Mims to Omnimystery News today.Lee introduces geologist and amateur sleuth Cleo Cooper in Hiding Gladys (Midnight Ink, January 2013 trade paperback and ebook formats).We recently had a chance to chat with Lee about her new book. -- -- Omnimystery News: Why did you choose to write a mystery with a recurring character?Photo provided courtesy ofLee Mims Lee Mims: As a writer of a mystery series, it is my intention to develop my main character, Cleo Cooper, over the course of three books. Therefore, the need for flaws. After all, each of us has flaws; there are no perfect people. With that in mind, Cleo's tendency to risk everything -- both financially and sometimes with her very life -- in the hope of a high return is perhaps the flaw I most often use to get her into situations that test her resolve. For instance, who could walk by a well and not gaze down into it? And, provided there's a rope reaching down into the water below, who could resist pulling on it to see if it's attached to a bucket? What if you couldn't reach the rope? Do you have enough dare devil in you to lean out just a little further? I do but then I'm rather like Cleo myself and end up learning life's lessons the hard way. We do something stupid, we learn and grow. I know I did and so will Cleo. Cleo's constant desire to do everything herself, to ask for help from no one is another character trait that could be considered by some as a flaw. While it might be understandable, given the fact that she was married at the tender age of 20 to a somewhat older, very wealthy man with an inclination to overprotect, it's still the catalyst I use to place her in challenging predicaments. It may be that over time, she'll look back on having someone to lean on as being not so bad. Or, maybe she'll evolve further into a loner, a woman who having finally attained the self-respect she craved by standing on her own, cherishes it all the more. Only time and two more books will tell.OMN: Would you characterize this mystery as a cozy?LM: I think of my books as medium-boiled mystery/thrillers. At the beginning of each one a body shows up. How the victim died and who killed them lingers, hopefully as a tantalizing question until the end. I add "thriller" to my categorization because I love action with a dash of the fear factor thrown in for good measure.I'm not a marketing expert, just a writer, really, but I think for my Cleo Cooper series, marketing to fans of mysteries and thrillers is definitely an advantage. These readers are a devoted group and if I am lucky enough to gain their approval, I feel I can count on them to keep me on my toes with all the details that must go into writing a mystery that really works. OMN: Did you incorporate any of your own personality or experience into Cleo Cooper?LM: Of the three books, Hiding Gladys, will probably be the one with the most personal experience backing it up as I actually worked in the field doing much of what Cleo does. I have a Masters in Sedimentary Petrology. That is, I have the underpinnings of a petroleum geologist but since I never worked in that field, I wouldn't call myself one. So, my second book, Trusting Viktor, relies heavily on research. Moreover, the world of oil exploration is entirely closed to anyone not in the industry. This is so not only because of the proprietary nature of the knowledge they acquire at huge expense, but because they are so often maligned by the press. Having said all that, the internet has made knowledge in any area of interest under the sun accessible with the click of a mouse. I spent literally months on the computer researching the technical information I needed for Trusting Viktor and this, coupled this with actual trips to the Gulf to interview people in the industry, gave me enough knowledge to, hopefully, make my readers feel they're actually aboard a drillship. I don't know about you, but the books I enjoy the most are those in which you can experience another place as though you were really there. James Hall's Thorn novels come to mind. When you read them, you are transported through his prose to seedy backwater bars with a gritty floors deep in the Mangroves of central Florida or to lonely stretches of beach with sunsets that take your breath away. Mr. Hall is able to do this not only because he is a master writer, but also because lives in and obviously loves Florida. Similarly, I want my readers to experience eastern North Carolina from country roads cutting through farmland to maritime forests and backwater marshes to the beaches and even to some of my favorite restaurants. Since these are the places of my heart, the places where I lived and played for most of my life, I hope my books will accomplish this. OMN: Tell us about your writing process.LM: Long before I was a writer, I was an artist. I've painted literally hundreds of paintings over many decades and I can tell you this for sure: the creative process for writing and painting is very similar. Both start with a sketch and with an overall mood or atmosphere in mind. And, for me, both writing and painting are done in layers. My writing sketch consists of a very rough synopsis which I never hold myself to, which is a good thing, because as the story progresses, invariably I find a better way to go to make the story stronger. Often -- and this is the most amazing part of writing for me -- as I write, the story goes off its own and even I am surprised. There is nothing like the feeling you get when you're laboring along at your computer, thinking you know where you're headed and then: boom! A thought flies into your head that changes the whole tale for the better.I liken the layering technique I use with my oil painting layers to layering in my writing in the following way: I start with an primer color and a rough in. At this point you absolutely have to let the paint dry before you add a new layer. In this way, you can leave some areas untouched and add to others to get the feeling of depth and inner glow all artists strive to achieve. Similarly, my novels begin with an initial rough draft. Then, like letting the paint dry, I let my books "cool off" before my first rewrite. This cooling off period needs to be at least a few weeks. Then the hacking begins. Following another few weeks away from the book, I rewrite again, this time tightening and adding more color and detail. I do this as many times as my deadlines permit before I send it to my editor who refers to herself as my hired gun because at that point, each sentence in the story is getting to be an old friend and killing them off is not something I don't do well. When all the revisions are done, the story, like one of my studio paintings is the result of may layers of thought.OMN: If a studio adapting your book was casting for the role of Cleo Coyle, who would be your first choice to play the part?LM: I definitely write my story with a mental image of Cleo that I arrived at by writing from the perspective of my own physical attributes such as height, weight, strength, etc. So, if by some miracle of a semi-religious nature, a major motion-picture studio wanted to turn my series into a movie, I can't think of a better actress to play the part than Cameron Diaz. She, like me is 5'9", has an athletic build and blond hair, and in some of her movies, appears to be quite strong. Important note: I don't look like Cameron Diaz. Oh, the pity! Anyway, she's the almost the right age, too. She's 41 and Cleo is a indefinite age somewhere past mid-forties. I never say for sure because that adds to her mystique. -- -- Lee Mims is and always has been a North Carolina farm girl. She played outdoors from dawn to dusk, built forts, drank water from garden hoses and ran with sticks. And for 25 years, she raised and trained Quarter Horses.She was often sick as a child, and it was while staying home with her mother that Mims learned the beauty of words. Together they read endlessly: short stories, fairy tales and adventure novels.Because of her love of the great outdoors, she later earned a master's and bachelor's degree in geology from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and worked as a field geologist. And as a popular wildlife artist, Mims owns her self-named studio where she does both portrait and fine art oil paintings.Books never escaped her, and her geology background inspired Hiding Gladys, the first of the Cleo Cooper Mystery Series.You can learn more about the author and her books by visiting her website at LeeMims.com or finding her on Facebook or Twitter. -- -- Hiding GladysLee MimsA Cleo Cooper Mystery (1st in series) A rock fortune inspires family betrayal and murder Cleo Cooper is either about to strike it rich or lose it all.
