Softened Heart
A Poem by Jamie Rosanna:

With heart open,
A softened forward stance,
Then a tumbling down into descent,
Spiralling into soot.
The ashes from all our yesterdays,
Lived and un-lived.
A calling on tomorrow.

Tears are the fabric softeners
Of the battle scars of our cares.
Now only an open soft heart remains,
A display of love.

Beneath it all is a surrender to Divine Will,
Where grace can find a way.
With infinite possibilities,
Our imaginings dance in a display before us.

Our power is all that we give energy to.
What we say and what we do,
How we live this life,
As manifestation of the personal.

External world projections of what lies within.
Our relationship to the whole,
Telling us where we began and where we are going.
Starting again so many times,
Always arriving back to the beginning.

Net Gem:

This section of the newsletter, features locations of interest on the World Wide Web that stand out as special "Net Gems."

Kiva - Loans That Change Lives

This is a great website for those interested in the idea of micro financing in the developing world. Quoting from their website, Kiva offers visitors a chance to lend money "to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world. By choosing a loan on Kiva, you can sponsor a business and help the world's working poor make great strides towards economic independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates from the entrepreneur you've sponsored. As loans are repaid, you get your loan money back." You have the option when your loan is repaid to then withdraw the money you lend or to make a new loan with it.

Please be aware that you can lend safely to the Kiva project by credit card using PayPal. You do not have to be a registered user of PayPal to benefit from the level of security PayPal offers when making credit card payments. PayPal supports Kiva in many ways, including the forfeiting their standard fee for their service. That means that all the money you lend goes to the lender and none of it goes to PayPal.

If you decide to participate in Kiva, you are eligible for a free pack of our Sacred Truth cards. Please take advantage of our Newsletter Special as described above.

Here are some main entry points into the site that will explain how it all works:

Jamie Rosanna Responds - Mythology

This feature is an opportunity for our readers to ask Jamie Rosanna a question in regards to the inner process and the journey to healing. You can Email your question by clicking the animated link below. Please include your first and last name.

This Month's Question:

I believe you use mythological stories in both your mentoring course and your personal guidance work. Could you explain the significance of myth as far as the inner journey goes?   This Month's Response: The best way to answer this question is to quote some passages from the Introduction of my Chakra Journey book.   In Ancient Greece there was no word for “word.” Instead they used two words, “Mythos” and “Logos.” Mythos referred to the ability of words to evoke imagery. Logos referred to the ability of words to evoke cognition and logic. Both were used as a way to imagine the world...In today’s world we see Logos...as the only way, while we see Mythos as a lie. If we want to say that a story is false, we say, “It’s just a myth.” This points to our bias for Logos at the expense of Mythos...The soul abhors an imbalance. The ego has the tendency to over identify with Logos...Mytho, however is helpful to the ego. It nudges it to surrender its illusion of control and to understand its true relationship to soul...We cannot have Logos without Mythos or the other way around...Even science with its new discoveries on the workings of the brain understands this. Michael J. Gelb has written that the world's most creative thinkers did not necessarily stand out due to their high intelligence. Rather, it was their ability to be both imaginative and logical at the same time. We devalue Logos when we ignore Mythos. We limit Logos and reduce it to smaller and smaller areas of human experience. True Logos understands the imaginative subtleties of Mythos.   What exactly is Mythos or myth? Myth has always served a purpose in the human psyche and is still at work today. Well before computers, television and the Internet, there was story telling, fairy tales, legends and myths. For 200 millenniums we sat by the light of a fire and shared in the telling of stories. These stories were more than mere flights of fantasy used to entertain primitive minds. Their original purpose was not only to entertain but also to teach and to show listeners that they were not alone in their experiences. Whether dealing with anger or relationships, sexuality or family, there were stories being told and containing it all. They helped contain emotions on both a personal and collective level.   The stories also showed the way through and helped resolve issues. These ancient stories were like signpost providing a road map to a communally unified sense of meaning and purpose. Each story pulled everyone in. They addressed the ultimate issues of human destiny including love, family, birth, happiness, tragedy and death. In contrast to modern entertainment, which tends to separate the performers from the audience, story telling was a living, singing and weaving communal dance, in which everyone participated and found themselves contained and reflected.   It’s also important to realize that these stories are living in us. They’re deeply deeply rooted in our unconscious. That’s why they are so powerful. They’re a pure form of imagination and as Carl Jung said, the chief content of the unconscious is imagination. Mythology is right there with that content. It activates the part of our mind that contemplates the enigmatic. It concerns itself with the transcendental and the sacred. Mythology is a doorway to the soul.
