Decoding the Butterfly Promise: Regaining our Feminine Power and Returning to WholenessThis book invites you to relive Gail's personal journey that took her out of the safety of her everyday world into an amazing landscape where our true power lives. While Gail searches for a way to deliver a message to author Carlos Castaneda she is pulled into the original love story of a couple who lived and loved beyond time itself. It turns out their love story is the basis of all our fairy tales; but even more important, the pivotal key to awakening humans from our long slumber. With the assistance of none other than the Empress of the Universe (Source Feminine), Gail offers up her heart to help you feel her supra-ordinary experiences which happen against her hard - headed scientific and in - the - box skepticism. Eventually she connects to the original couple themselves and finds out why we keep reliving their life story and how we become free to create our own life story.In Gail's words:The book is divided into four parts. In Part 1. Answering the Wakeup Call I describe how I got hooked and engaged in joining this project. The section is filled with magical treats of the week and outrageous experiences that helped to break me out of the small box I'd labeled reality. In a word, it's outrageous! But it's true. My favorite part is when David helps my guide appear to me. Talk about scared skinny! I was terrified, but I was fascinated in equal measure. It is in this section that I also experience what being equal really feels like and I begin to see a bigger picture of what life really offers us.My adventures continue but now a pattern begins to form in Part 2. Rebuilding the Future. Vital keys are revealed and pieced together. Many transfers happen that lead me to work with a team of unusual and amazing individuals to help rebuild something that was lost long ago. I think what we did was also pre-paving the future. In Part 3. Moving Forward and Looking Back I move to the other side of the country and leave my 'stuff' and everything and everyone I've ever known. Think metaphor here. While I explore my new environment, the Empress of the Universe sends me back to review some of my earlier experiences which later fit together in an unbelievable way. I also find my partner in dreaming and experience an hysterical emotional roller coaster ride trying to find him in 3D reality. All of these experiences conspire to get me to shed my old ways and flip the switch on how I participate in life. Once I flip that switch I become able to access the information the Empress of the Universe has been helping me to reach. Part 4. Resurrecting the Knowledge of the Ancients tells the true 'first love' story according to the Empress of the Universe, and straightens out some bad information we've had passed along to us. Then it deals with what it means for us now and how we break through and claim our power. Butterfly woman in her feminine aspect speaks up and tells the story of what happened to her and then shows how we keep repeating her experiences with our own lives. Wow! I didn't want to believe it, but as soon as I looked through my life, the proof was right in front of my face. In fact I kept repeating a biggie she had...playing it again and again. Finally both Butterfly and the Empress of the Universe explain what it is we can do to stop the repeats and create our own lives, and yes, live happily ever after!

A story about a little girl who discovers nature and the magical life cycle of the butterfly. The story explores the true meaning of friendship, hope and promise.

Four friends who grew up together in Los Arbolitos Barrio of Santa Fe, New Mexico are bonded by a belief in the Aztec legend of the Butterfly Warrior. This Aztec god grants the dead the privilege of returning to Earth to collect the eternal reward of sucking on sacred nectar. In adulthood, one of the four, Manny, commits suicide. Now, the remaining three must resolve their differences in order to discover the strange truth surrounding Manny's demise. Cuate is the loose-tongued joker. Anna, Cuate's twin sister, is a voice of reason; Whitey is the outsider craving acceptance, and Manny was the Prometheus whose fire was music. Though the conflict between language and customs is at the heart of all Latino fiction, Butterfly Warrior adds to the mix new technology and the power of music to heal.

A woman's magical mysterious, nightmarish, adventurous journey through men on her quest to have a better understanding of the male energy on her search to find genuine and everlasting love. Just as life brings her the masculine offering of a chance for love, along with experiencing another aspect of herself in reflection - her heart is disappointed even broken. She then is given the opportunity to heal, as she becomes even more aware of the masculine energy and her relation to it, along with a deeper awareness of her imprints and beliefs. As she travels forward on her journey, the pieces come together, break, then come together again offering her the ability to become more aware and whole. What if Eve was leading Adam to the opportunity to experience all and every dimension of life? The feminine as it relates to masculine and masculine as it relates to feminine. Male and female rubbing souls against one another for the possibility and benefit of what love creates and heals. And this is exactly what God intended - in the full power of 'his knowing' - that only a woman would be able to entice a man to do so. God, after all created the serpent along with the opportunity for choice without which there would be no dark defining light challenges on earth.

Between 1982 and 1989, Pelafina H. Lièvre sent her son, Johnny Truant, a series of letters from The Three Attic Whalestoe Institute, a psychiatric facility in Ohio where she spent the final years of her life. Beautiful, heartfelt, and tragic, this correspondence reveals the powerful and deeply moving relationship between a brilliant though mentally ill mother and the precocious, gifted young son she never ceases to love. Originally contained within the monumental House of Leaves, this collection stands alone as a stunning portrait of mother and child. It is presented here along with a foreword by Walden D. Wyhrta and eleven previously unavailable letters.
