When I finished reading the short tale of The Cricket I sat it aside and thought to myself, "That was cute and satisfying." I proceeded to go about my days for about five days then it hit me: We are all children having a dream of our being fighting crickets in the Chinese Royal Court and beyond.
Let me explain. In this four-page tale, a son of a would be big shot (except he is gentle and considered weak) broke something that was so valuable that the the father (the would be big shot) and mother really consider beating the tar off this little boy. But the boy falls in a well, yada, yada, boy wakes from a coma and tells how he envisioned he was a prize winning cricket while he was in the coma. Now, the thing is while the boy was in a coma his father (again, would be big shot) became a big shot because of the prize fighting cricket that he found near his son after his son went in a coma. That got me to thinking, what if this is a dream that we're having and that while we're here we're ranking up such things as golds, silver, houses, horses, silks, and all the food we can eat? The catch is that we've got to wake up after fully experiencing being whatever it is that we're doing in life. I don't care if you're part of the dark side! I don't care if you're part of the light side! Just as long as you're fighting for your dear life, because that's what the son in this story did. As far as the parents, couldn't that be your god/goddess? What parent a) wouldn't get angry at disobedience, b) wouldn't become sadden with the idea of lost, c) try their best to carry on and d) accept laurels for job well done? The parents never left their son's side except to live and I certain that Yahweh or any other Pillar God is doing the same. We won't know what riches we've brought them until we wake up. but that's part of the fun- having fun just to have fun. Or is it me? Am I once again reading metaphysics into a simple story? I doubt it; after all, it's all metaphysics. And bottom line, that son's consciousness was away from his body and none of us can say that never happens to us. Unless you go without sleeping, then you can claim to have control over your awareness at all time. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle

As I'm writing the Mow Yen's series, I'm learning about the other Pillar Gods. I mean I would be cut off at the knees if I really believed that Yahweh is the only Pillar God or that there's no pantheon. Personally and professionally, I'm interested in seeing others' point of view about the reflection of the Great Mind who is Creator-Thinker-Host.
When I was starting the second decade of my spiritual adventure, I was asked what/who do I mean by God. At the time I hadn't been introduced to other religions or mythologies and I was doubting the truth of Jesus. I know, right. As a storyteller, I understood that stories were altered for the audience and the Jewish-yet-transformed-into-Christians and Gentiles were an audience just as religion is a Human Resource based institution. But, would someone alter Jesus' story? Yes. The story is neither original nor is everything that Yeshua is said have said. When this question was posed to me, I was torn but I answered with my heart anyway. I said, plain and simple, God is All That Is and All That isn't. My definition of God has evolved as I've been initiated, transformed, and elevated. Yet, my question of God hasn't. What about those who believed beyond the three foundational religions of the average citizen? This is the question which has crushed me, strengthen me, and redesigned me. It is the question that led me to the stories of others' religious beliefs and so-called 'myths.' I remember hearing a summary regarding mythology and religion: when all the Shaman of all the nations gathered and told their stories about where we come from, who we are, why we are here, and who is the Creator, everyone agreed theirs was just as wonderful a STORY as everyone else, except the Shaman of Yahweh/Allah/Jehovah; theirs was a wonderful TRUTH to live by or die in a place that isn't in the heart, although the location of the kingdom is. Living like the previous and traditional Shaman of Non-Aboriginal people will get your butt in a lot of trouble as you travel this adventure as a Comparative Mythologist. Keep this little piece of understanding tucked in your bra while you're traveling. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Daily, I'm polishing almost three complete chapters of my almost there 30 chapter manuscript. I'm constantly streamlining and re-visioning, even creating Author's Notes, 30 pages at a time, so I'll be ready for launch on the 31st of this month. This isn't the first time I've tried to capture and clearly communicate what's on my mind in a tome of collective words. This is, however, the first time that I'm patient, honest, open, humble, and reading my story out loud repetitively.
You've gotta love a story to read it over and over. Especially, if it's lacking as a written piece of art. Which got me to thinking; for those who are top-heavy creatives and you're willing and able to set quotas, goals, or call them steps (and fulfill them in a healthy manner) wouldn't the goal of sharing your work get accomplished in a quicker, feed the machine, type of way if you humble yourself? If you re-read your work, not after being away from it for a period of time, but after you've found the bliss of it; wouldn't your passion and love for it become discerned and detached? If you seriously took the advice that touched your soul and daily applied it to your work, wouldn't you be in a position to attract those Beta Readers who knows your work and you? Yeah, you'd become a better author. A prolific author. My feeling, sniff sniff, is authors get a bad wrap. Not every name on a published book is an author. We authors communicate a message while conveying an idea. Storytellers do that- tell stories thing. Authors are the elite craftsmen of this field of word slaying in the crystallized form. They communicate clearly and motivate with a good message wrapped up in one. This means the suck-it-up-Buttercup attitude that many authors have is often misunderstood. I believe that you become an author when you gain the author's ability to release and release and release; to feed the machine, again. Knowing that you are an author and not a storyteller will give you the compassion needed to get up everyday and count (therefore) slay the words. Knowing you are an author and not a storyteller will allow you to be fed by what you produce even if it doesn't see the light of professional bookstore day. Lastly, knowing you are an author and not a storyteller will put a pen in your hand & fingers on the keyboard, an ear for rhythm which comes from trial and error, and the humility to slowly walk down and gather readers who will follow you instead of a few book titles. Yeah, I'm an author, who knows many storytellers. That is what keep the publication world going round. A world I just love. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Well, well, well; we meet again. That was my attitude this morning, as I settled in to work on my WIP.
See, I am one of those gentle, Spirit chasing, devotees of this adventure called: Spirit having a Human Experience. The idea of thinking about pretending to raise my intent in an disobedient way cause me to shiver. I'm a solider in the army of the Creator-Thinker-Host who has been placed under the command of Yahweh. A solider, I tell you. I do what's told. Back on topic, Sabrina. I have always had problems with constructing a villain. I understood that everyone needs resistance to grow, but I just couldn't understand why you would want to be the resistance. Being a writing storyteller, I am responsible with the task of conveying ideas and meaning. To do this means I have to understand both sides of every situation- objectively. And, for the most part, I have learned to be open to the bad guy in order to get his/her story. Once I became "friends" with these rascals I came up against another wall: Now that I know you, are you really needed for the story? No longer shaken by their energy, I am able to ask different questions of my characters. No longer shaken by their energy, I am able to tell them to hit the dirt. That's what I did. That's where I am during this version of this story of Initiation; titled Hour of Change. Zeus and Hecate were villains during brainstorming, draft 1, draft 2, and the initial set-up of draft 3. Now I see that Zeus is the villain and he claps hard. After all, he is fighting for his life so he is taking no prisoners. My son says he, Zeus, "walked in the room folded his hands across his belly and said, 'I'm that n****r.'" Now those with teenagers or who are teen aged at heart know what my son meant and I'm quite proud. Allowing Zeus to be Zeus (god fighting to gain control of the third dimension and to avoid being returned to the primal energies of the Creator-Thinker-Host) took pressure off Hecate and she got to return to being the Titan/goddess caught up in Zeus mess and this time she may have made the wrong choice by making the choice she did. Anyway, I've freed up so much energy by strengthening Zeus and removing weight off Hecate. But the thing that surprised me most was the sigh of relief I let go when I just erased the Wayland character. I just simply returned him to my creative primal energies. The man won't even be mentioned in Hour of Change. I did replace him with a bad guy, the ultimate bad guy, Satan. But Yahweh is an on screen character who appears just before Satan and is the only one who even think about confronting Satan. But, both of them have seconds on film. Bottom Line: Free your imagination and let your stories be populated by personalities you wouldn't necessarily consciously portray while in the third dimension. Oh, and kill a few sons of bitches; if you have to. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Hello! (Trust me, I'm waving)
I wanted to take the time to share a little more of my supportive documents for The Mow Yen Chronicles: Hour of Change. These questions will help you understand how I'm making metaphysicial fantasy not only easy and entertaining, but I'm staying true to some of the more elementary lessons we learn by traveling the journey/adventure of Spirit. Without any more introduction, please, read these ten questions and my replies. If you can think of another question or two, please, feel free to ask.- S.L.A. Whose story is this? Who is the protagonist? This is the Soul's Personality which is Mow Yen story. She is the center of the story and from whose eyes the story is told. What is the protagonist's external story goal? The external goal is to create a new level of evolution for the Thinking Man on the Third Dimension What is the protagonist's internal story goal, if any? (a character without a growth arc may not have one) The internal goal is to not be swallowed alive by the residents of Welnikov. If she can be the system buster that she was created to be then she will be better able to accomplish her external goal. She wants to pass the initiation. What promises does the opening of this story make to the reader? This story promises to deal with the concept of initiation of any part of the Creator-Thinker-Host, and it will be an intriguing and informative. For each character with a growth arc, how do they grow or change by the end of the story? Goddess Hel is more confident in her ability to rule the Netherworld. Mow Yen is in stronger re-memberance of who she is. No longer the uninitiated fool, Mow is now in the position to gather the Team 15 in the month's-time that she has been allocated. Po Li is now understanding of his actions and willing to love. To break his cynical attitude about life. Daughter of the Moon, Hina is now responsible for herself as never before and she takes this responsibility serious. She is now on her journey which will lead to an adventure if she allows it. What is at stake for each character in this story? Could those stakes be any higher? The 3 Mein Fates are being tested and if they fail this as a team they will be replaced as a team. Deja Jung is about to lose her twin mirror and her position as guardian and mother of the planet Earth/Gaia. She is about to lose the main part of her identity as she knows it. Vu Jung is about to gain a permanent position in the galaxy of the Milky Way but lose his twin mirror. He must decide if he still wants to be part of Deja's world. Wayland Smith is about to lose his mind because what he is doing appears "wrong", but it is what's required by the whole of creation; now he doesn't know who to trust. Goddess Hecate is about to lose what she has for a chance to have what she desires and have been told to leave alone. Olympian God Zeus is about to lose his position that he's held on through thick and thin and be returned to the primal energy- regenerated into a total new Personality. Goddess Hel is about to lose the belief that she must play small in order to keep peace in the whole of creation. Archangel Slone is about to lose her stability as an Archangel of stable and obedient beings in Yahweh's Executive Branch of Leadership. Mow Yen is about to be initiated into a new life and devotion to purpose. She must give up being a system buster to be a system buster. Po Li is about to be initiated into true masculinity. He is about to lose loneliness. He must give up the false sense of manhood that was presented to him by the leadership of Zeus. Moon Daughter Hina is to be initiated into femininity and leadership. She gives up her home to help broken people who may be able to change and therefor change the galaxy starting with the planet Earth/Gaia because she will be the essence of this planet until she can receive her masculine counterpart and partner. What are the themes in this story, if any? Initiation is something that we must all go through in order to gain a breakthrough to a higher frequency of living. We must trust in ourselves and in the true creator, the Creator-Thinker-Host. Once we make that shift in belief and understanding, then we will be able to be the larger, more authentic, divine beings that we are. What do you want the reader to be experiencing as they read this story? I wish for the reader to gain either an understanding of breakdowns to breakthroughs which leads to successful surrendering into the initiation, or an unconditional encouragement just from watching a group of connected individuals handle the same theme, initiation, in different ways but their individual contributions still evolve the whole. What main emotions do you want the reader to be experiencing as they read this story? Hope. Devotion. Motivation. Inspiration. Curiosity. What genre do you think this story belongs in? If it belongs in more than one, which one do you think is primary? This is a spiritual/visionary/metaphysical fantasy. With that said, it primarily belongs in the metaphysical genre. Wow! That was a sprint. But thank you for listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle I can't believe it. I've polished this Character List to its final shine. In other words, the main characters, antagonists, and protagonist are established and written in stone. I know their voices. I know the motivations behind their actions. I'm so excited that I had to share. So, without further ado, without any particular order, here are the 16 beings living in Welnikov that The Chronicles of Mow Yen: Hour of Change is focused on.
Herkin: The masculine Mein Fate of the Future. His is the adultlike voice which is always pushing Mow to engage in the going on of Welnikov. He is aware that Mow's stay in the Welnikov Dimension is just the setting for Mow to complete her Initiation, Integration, and Transformation for her 2030 task in the third dimension. His words and actions are always calculating even when he presents them as spontaneous. Chekin: The masculine Mein Fate of the Past. His is the childlike voice which is always dragging Mow to engage in the going on of Thebes Tower. He is aware that as the child of Mikin, Mow has lived a difficult life on the third dimension and must forgive in all ways and all directions before she can truly transform into the leader of the Welnikov Team 15. His words and actions are always gentle even if they aren't kind. Mikin: The masculine Mein Fate of the Present. His is the adolescent-like voice which is always trying to prevent Mow from involving herself with anything besides the command to Gather, Prepare, and Instruct the Welnikov Team 15 for the 2030 task in the Third dimension. His words and actions are always forceful even if his intent is to be spacious and allowing. Deja Jung: The Feminine Essence of personality for the planet Earth/Gaia. Hers is the manipulative voice which is attempting to seduce Mow into preventing the Death Moon Ritual even though prophesy states that she will die if the ritual is stopped. Her words and actions are flattering and misleading until circumstances demand for her to be the primal being that she is. Vu Jung: The Masculine Essence of personality for the planet Earth/Gaia. His is the coy voice which supports Deja in seducing Mow into preventing the Death Moon Ritual, even though prophesy states that he will live his remaining years as a reflective part of the planet if stops the ritual. His words and actions are hesitant and liken to that of a host of a manor or a mansion in the process of being foreclosed. Wayland Smith: The outgoing Champion of Gaia. His is the confused voice which is doing what is right, thereby having to live with the consequences of doing wrong, in order to incarnate on the third dimension in the year of 2030. His words and actions are crypted since he has been assigned the position of Vu's executioner and doesn't know who to trust. (Antagonist) Titan/Goddess Hecate: The Commander of the Dead of Welnikov and the eventual temporary replacement of the Feminine Essence of personality for the planet Earth/Gaia, after Deja is sucked into the Netherworld. Hers is the voice and actions of desperation and intimidation attempting to grab control over the rulership of the planet. (Antagonist) Olympian God Zeus: The chief god in the Cad' lad territory of Welnikov's Netherworld and eventual temporary replacement of the Masculine Essence of personality of the planet Earth/Gaia, after Vu is sucked into the Netherworld. His is the voice and actions of projecting and dying domination and expectation which has outlived its season. Thereby he is fighting to hold on the glory of yesteryear's consciousness. Goddess Hel: The Keeper and Charge Maiden of the Book of the Dead of Welnikov who teams up with Mow in order to remove Hecate and Zeus from their new positions in Welnikov's PiCaddily. Hers is the voice and actions of true unconditional love, assistance, and performance to Yahweh and the Creator-Thinker-Host thereby she is the same truth for Mow. Archangel Slone: The personal guardian angel and Archangel assigned to Mow in all ways and all directions. Hers is the voice and actions of feminine support from the angelic realm which is a mirror to Archangel Michael. She is rarely seen but is always nurturing and motivational when she is. (Protagonist) Mow Yen: System Buster who has become stagnant. Relocated to the strange dimension of Welnikov, hers is the voice and actions of some one who is fighting the process of growth into a new position of true abundance and love. She must learn unconditional love while maintaining the energy and dedication to destruction- she is a true angel of Death. Young Mow Yen: Mow Yen's inner child and free bird, her purity of soul which hasn't yet abstracted herself to meet others' expectations- not even a sexual and sensual Po Li. While Mow was building her reputation on the third, Young Mow ran away to Welnikov. Now that the two are reunited, hers is the voice and actions of healing, learning, adjusting, and ultimately dying so that Mow can learn her lessons of leadership, unconditional love, and co-creating with the Creator-Thinker-Host in support of Yahweh and the Children of Earth/Gaia. Po Li: The Twin Mirror of Mow. During previous incarnations, Po was the one that carried the shadow energies leading to the destructive energies which imprisoned him in Winton Harvest of Welnikov's Netherworld. His is the voice and actions of sharing, forgiving, fighting, and evolution from journey to adventure so that Mow can become a realized demigoddess by partnering with him and his powerful gifts of manifestation, offering the third dimension a model of authentic love between partners and as individual halves. Guardian Statue, Copeland: The statue on the right which gives Mow a hard time before agreeing to let her pass through the gates. His is the voice and actions of self-doubt as he was created for that purpose. He will speak the doubt that is in the heart of the living being attempting to enter the Netherworld of Welnikov. His confrontational mannerism cause Mow to think twice about where she is, where she was, and where she is going . . . Mow needs him. Guardian Statue, Striveland: The statue on the left which gives Mow unconditional support before and after agreeing to let her pass through the gates. His is the voice and actions of self-confidence as he was created for that purpose. He will grant the patience and encouragement which is part of the core, primal energies of the individual and collective. Not as protective as Copeland, but he does get the job done with joy and ease. It is he that asks the questions. Daughter of the Moon, Hina: The young feminine energy which has been sent by the Moon to aid Mow in her task for the evolution of the Thinking Man back on the third dimension in the year 2030. Curiosity of Circumstances, Hina is intrigued by Mow, Po, and Young Mow and therefore accomplish her purpose of becoming the new permanent feminine essence of personality of the planet Earth/Gaia. She, in her newfound position, grants everyone she travels with while attempting to enter the Mystical Rose, the freedoms to accomplish the Divinely Assigned Tasks buried in their hearts. Younger than Mow, even, Hina must learn to balance the Masculine and Feminine Essences before her Masculine takes his position besides her. Hers is the voice and actions of unconditional love and service in training for a higher calling. I know this was a long post, but thanks for sticking to the end. Once again, thanks for listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle With the coming of the 2019 New Year comes the first hardwood deadline for Sabrina Louise Andielle. I have until 1/31/19 to send out the first wave of required material for consideration of representation by an agent. This means I'm starting to understand why prolific authors have wheelbarrows under their eyes.
I have my pitch: Hour of Change is the story of a System Busting Demigoddess who must relocate from the Third Dimension of humans to the Welnikov dimension of goddesses and gods, there she must heal her understanding of unconditional love and complete a journey to break down one of Welnikov's oldest Systems. I have my paragraph synopsis: Hour of Change tells the story of 48,000-year-old demigoddess, Mow Yen, relocating to the Welnikov dimension before the completion of her task of evolving Mankind of the Third dimension of Earth with an "unforeseeable leap." Once on Welnikov, Mow discovers that her hope of returning to the Third, by completing an assigned task of gathering 15 gods and goddesses to aid her in evolving Mankind, is going to be harder than she planned; as she must bust one of Welnikov's oldest systems which can only be done by her gaining a new understanding of unconditional love- thereby returning her, and a new team, to the Third enabling Mow Yen to accomplish her Soul's Core Directive of Creation. My one page synopsis is too long to post here (in this entry) but it's coming along and I'm adding shine to it. I'm pretty sure about the first 50 pages- I never knew how much telling the initial couple of drafts hold. Talk about a cutting room floor. I'm putting the finishing touches on the entire manuscript, especially the ending- which I just added a god to today which will put more flesh on the bones of this story and create an even better set-up for the next in the Chronicles Series. Most important, I'm getting ready for rejection and inquiry. Working on it 6 to 8 hours daily is giving me confidence about a subject matter which hasn't been tried in such way before. Hearing it play out is giving me courage to share myself with the profession of publishing. So, in all reality I have 2 weeks left to tinker with this thing. I can dig that! Anyway, I just wanted to share the excitement and motivation. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle. |
