Chapter 1 -The Circle of Women

Why fear?
The sound current we have
created is a mighty force field
and cannot be broken.

We are protected.
We are in the garden of God.

It is a beautiful Spring evening in my garden. The hot Phoenix sun has set and the aroma of nearby roses fills the air. The full moon has just moved above the horizon and is bathing us in silvery light.

I am sitting and chanting in a circle of remarkable women. They are remarkable not for some particular thing they have accomplished in life, but for what they are accomplishing by being here chanting this healing chant together in this circle each full moon night, month after month, year after year. They are working to grow their lives better and stronger and to share their love and light with each other.

We began our chant a few moments ago and already each woman’s voice has become steadier. Their voices are beginning to blend together.

The chant is thousands of years old, from the ancient yogic tradition. It is used to take someone through a healing process, whether physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Each month on the night of the full moon we gather, just as women have gathered for centuries, to raise our voices in unison and enlighten our lives with the power of God living and flowing within us.

This is the circle of wise women. The sacred space where all within are protected and elevated.

Several have chosen to lie in the middle of the circle to receive the healing energy directly for some affliction, physical or otherwise. A few are lying here in the circle as surrogates for others who could not attend. Their work is to receive the energy, while we around the circle draw it in, allowing some to flow through us while the rest flows out to the others.

It is a simple, beautiful process, this meditation, this prayer in action.

We are here not just for ourselves and those we know and love. We are here for our entire generation, and for those unborn yet to come. This is our way of being Divine in form.

I feel the warmth swelling in my chest as my heart center expands far beyond its earthly bounds. It is a familiar friend, this energy that flows in through my head and always expands my heart first. At some point it becomes so expanded my body no longer exists as hard substance but becomes a glowing, transparent light-force, a shimmering being through which the cosmic wind blows and spreads out  all around me.

I watch each woman around and within this circle begin to glow in her own celestial presence.

A half-hour from now, as earthly time will measure it, we will be done – “cooked,” charged up and renewed. Even the Earth will reflect the work we have done, heating up for several hundred feet around us in all directions. It will take several hours for that heat to dissipate. The night sky will glow with the dancing energy, a beam shooting miles up from us and deep down into the Earth.

We are about ten minutes into the meditation now and the voices are fully blended into one. My two ordinary eyes have long been closed. Instead, my vision is centered behind my “third eye” in the middle of my forehead, the meditative doorway that expands consciousness outward to infinity. I am about to take that great leap when something startling stops me.

Another light is dancing across my third eye, an eerie red light that captures my attention. This light is not from an etheric source. It is a small circular red spot centered directly on my forehead.

Immediately, earthly knowing jumps into my consciousness and I realize that I have become the targeted center of a rifle’s laser-red scope. It even jiggles slightly with the nervous shake of the hand holding the gun. (Find out what happens by ordering the book here.)

Chapter 4 -Sex, Love and Intimacy

Few women really want sex –
at least, not to the exclusive degree
that their male partners
generally do.

They offer it in the hope of
achieving intimacy and love.

No three words in the English language are more misunderstood by both genders than sex, love and intimacy.

Let us start with the word that reflects the most primal need, sex.

Few women really want sex – at least, not to the exclusive degree that their male partners generally do. They offer it in the hope of achieving intimacy and love. They can come to enjoy sexual play when intimacy is abundant. Women who think sex is of primary importance to them have been carefully trained to believe it, just as they were trained to think they “need” a man.

For men, the situation is quite the opposite. Few men want love, at least not to the degree they perceive women need it. First and foremost on their minds is sex. That is not a putdown, simply a statement. They enjoy sex as a game. They want sex because it is a tool for power as well as a means of judging, from day to day, whether or not they have power.

So what happens when a woman, who really wants intimacy, not sex, sets out to pique a man’s interest? She uses seductive behavior and language. Hours later, when she’s gotten the man’s interest and ended up in bed, she may feel she’s been “taken advantage of” sexually, unaware that she “hooked” the man on his terms, not hers. She fed into his desire for a sexual playmate when she really wanted a friend and intimate.

That is why I often tell women to stop talking and acting like hookers. They want to hook a man into saying, “I love you.” They dress for seduction; they talk the language of seduction, all for those three words. When he finally does say them, they “fall in love.” That’s quite an expression. With that one phrase, they have hooked themselves.

Do you not wonder why there is no expression “to rise in love?” Just about everybody falls in love. Think of when it last happened to you. How euphoric! And what did you do after you fell in love? You suspended almost all further evaluation of that person.

You gave away your heart, your seat of power, and to someone who most likely didn’t want it in the first place and has very little idea of what to do with it. (Find out how to "rise in love" by ordering the book here.)

Chapter 5 -Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde vs. The 30 Faces of Eve

The dumbest man
knows by instinct
how much more powerful
you are than he is,
and it’s unnerving to him
to see you cry.

To understand further who we are as men and women, we must understand our cycles.

Conventional wisdom has it that women have cycles and men do not – though many have long suspected that men do. The reality of male “change of life” – called andropause – is now well accepted throughout Europe. It occurs earlier than menopause does for women, at age 36. If not at that time, certainly by 40 every man feels he is “getting old.” It is a crisis for a man that few women can appreciate, simply because women have crises on a frequent basis about “growing old” and are therefore more used to them.

Cycles for women are thought to be exclusively linked to the menstrual cycle and this accounts for their observed instability, including fluctuations attributed to PMS.

Now let us put these conventional beliefs aside and go into a deeper understanding based on yogic knowledge thousands of years old taught by Yogi Bhajan.

It is not that the descriptions here are wrong, only that they are shallow and inadequate for deeper understanding.

A Man’s Basic Cycle

The man actually has an ongoing cycle; it is called the “30-70 cycle.” It has a shift every seven days. One week the man appears strong and in charge of his world. He’s on top of everything and running at 70% or better. The next week he is unsure, seeking support, and cranky and angry if it is not there for him. He’s running at only 30%, sometimes less.

The week doesn’t shift with the calendar week. Each man has his own shift point. It may be Monday night, or Wednesday morning.
