Telling of the tales of our souls
“The overwhelming difficulty of communicating soul in talk becomes crushingly real when two persons sit in two chairs, face to face and knee to knee as in an analysis with Jung. Then we realize what a miracle it is to find the right words, words that carry soul accurately, where thought, image, and feeling interweave. Then we realize that soul can be made on the spot simply through speech. Such talk is the most complex psychic endeavor imaginable-which says something about why Jung’s psychology was a cultural advance over Freud’s talking cure, free autistic associations on the couch.
All modern therapies which claim that action is more curative than words and which seek techniques other than talk (rather than in addition to it) are repressing the most human of all faculties-the telling of the tales of our souls. These therapies may be curative of the child in us who has not learned to speak or the animal who cannot, or a spirit daimon that is beyond words because it is beyond soul. But only continued attempts at accurate soul-speech can cure our speech of its chatter and restore it to its first function, the communication of soul.
Soul of bulk and substance can be evoked by words and expressed in words; for myth and poetry, so altogether verbal and “fleshless,” nonetheless resonate with the deepest intimacies of organic existence. A mark of imaginal man is the speech of his soul, and the range of his speech, its self-generative spontaneity, its precise subtlety and ambiguous suggestion, its capacity, as Hegel said, “to receive and reproduce every modification of our ideational faculty,” can be supplanted neither by the technology of communication media, by contemplative spiritual silence, nor by physical gestures and signs. The more we hold back from the risk of speaking because of semantic anxiety that keeps soul in secret incommunicado, private and personal, the greater grows the credibility gap between what we are and what we say, splitting psyche and logos.
The more we become tied by linguistic self-consciousness, the more we abdicate the ruling principle of pscyhological existence…Man is half-angel because he can speak. The more we distrust speech in therapy or the capacity of speech to be therapeutic, the closer we are to an absorption into the fantasy of the archetypal subhuman, and the sooner the archetypal barbarian strides into the communication ruins of a culture that refused eloquence as a mirror of its soul.”

O Encontro do Feminino
Encontro de há poucos dias, pérolas e diamantes que eu queria partilhar ... 
e que tanto pensei irem alegrar o nosso Universo, dando-me a mim alegrias e caminhos de expressão e aprendizagem....!!*One God alone, none other God than She.
*One Law alone, none other Law than Her Law.
*God became maid that maid might come to God.
O credo das Amazonas
UM Deus spmente, nenhum outro Deus senão Ela.
UMA Lei somente, nenhuma outra Lei senão a d'Ela.
Deus fez-se donzela (?) para que donzela pudesse chegar a Deus.
Neste artigo encontro pela primeira vez bastantes coisas que se aproximam do todo um universo feminino.
Por outro lado, não esquecer que para os egípcios a mae Deusa é simbolizada não pelo Sol, mas sim pelo Céu, Espaço-mãe de todas as estrelas.
Igual a Nossa Senhora, com o seu Manto de Estrelas.
Sírios é considerada feminina.... seria interessante saber o porquê.... desta diferenciação.
Explico isto neste momento especial, apenas porque quero deixar aqui este artigo, o primeiro que encontro que exprime muita coisa do que sinto, o que contem ou continha a possibilidade de uma grande esperança e libertação.

Signs of Dea? - A short story. Or not
A short story, or you go on and make it good.
No, man doesn't want.
His world is so good. :)
While some fight to make of ruins, love.
Others, try to make of love, ruins. And for thousands of years they manage it....

No teu Regaço, Só tive o Teu Regaço
12. But the Maid replied, saying: That which is right in the deepest heart of things, and in the centre of all being, that is right and none other; and the Truth alone is true. 13. Nor shall all the powers of the earth count against it, neither all the powers of the seas and the skies move it by the smallest fraction in all its vastness. 14. I shall obey none but My Mother, though all your power be turned in fury upon Me.
15. And the demons cried: Not our power, but the power of one far greater from whom our power derives.
16. And the Maid said: Thus may it be.
17. And the demons questioned Her, saying: Think You that Your Mother will save You?
18. And the Maid answered: She will do what She will do, and blessed is Her Name.
19. And the demons laughed, saying: Then are You abandoned to the uttermost darkness.
20. And the heart of the Maid fainted within Her.
21. And She said: Thus may it be.

The Mythos of the Divine Maid - Ch. 4
37. But she that followeth not the path of obedience resteth in the hands of the passions, whose wild winds blow this way and that;
38. She giveth obedience to the demons of the wind that lead her not into safety, but toss her upon the storm. They raise her up only to throw her down and take delight in her anguish.
39. The way of obedience is a safe harbour and a well-made vessel that shall bear the soul unto the nether shore.

The Heart of Water
21. Therefore speak not evil in idleness, nor fall into the custom of ill speaking; but govern your words even as your actions.
22. Speak words of love and innocence, of mildness and of hope, and you shall weave a raiment of peace about your soul, and a veil of gentle light.
23. Speak often prayers; speak them in the rhythm of your steps, attune them to the beating of your heart.
24. For She that governs the endless ages governs also the hour of every action. Let your voice call on Her in pure simplicity, for She is the Lady of the noontide and the Lady of the night, the Lady of the mountain and the valley.

Thoughts of the Mind
27. None shall call upon Me and be lost. Every cry of the world shall I heed; and when the whole of a heart cries upon Me, that soul shall I take beneath My mantle. 28. Cry and thou shalt have answer; love and thou art beloved, hope and thy hope shall be fulfilled, in this world and in all the worlds to come.
29. Hold thou fast to the Truth, for the Truth is a pillar; a steadifast pillar that all the world cannot shake. 30. Not by the breadth of an hair has it moved since time’s dawning, neither yet by the breadth of an hair until time have its end. 31. From the uttermost height of the Heaven descendeth the pillar; descendeth it down as a glorious pillar of Light. To the nethermost depths of the hells it descendeth; nor the might of the demons can move it the breadth of an hair.
