Stories

Monica and I and a group of seekers participate in a psychological spiritual mystical training called SoulWork. Much of the training revolves around meeting/creating/carving out selves within our selves. We imagine/experience our inner life as populated by a pantheon of children, protectors and mystical wise beings. It turns out that most people, once we find out about these inner selves find out that there is a war going on between them. A lot of people also find out that some of the inner selves don't even know each other exist. In the training, we work to guide this inner village into harmonious collaboration.

I'm discovering that I'm not different from most everyone else in this respect, and that my inner war has left my creative element sorely wounded, diminished, and frightened. These days my goal in the work is to release this aspect of my creativity.

So with equal parts excitement, trepidation and mischievousness, I write the stories below about my inner village and the process away from war into not just peace but full on creative prosperity.
