Let's for a moment play imagination. Now, let us imagine that what we write is Truth somewhere on some plane in some dimension. Let us say that we are the gods and goddesses that we proclaim that we are. That the bloodlines of those such as the Annunaki and the many members of global pantheons still pump through the veins of humans (and nonhuman alike.) Wouldn't that mean, mythologist, that we have a choice in our storytelling; just as those who deliver dreams to us have a choice in their deliverance?
There are two types of dreamers the Freudians and the Jungians. Here's a brief breakdown of the two. Freudians tell things which are to be healed and Jungians tell things which are already healed. Freudians tells what did happen and Jungians tells what will happen. And lastly, Freudians is victim mentality and Jungians is empowerment mentality. Personally, I am a Jungian. I'm certain that I don't agree with everything the man has said, but I don't agree with everything that Joseph Campbell said, and I support him still. Now combine those two paragraphs. We mythologist have to first discover what messages we are to deliver and to whom. A message can only be received on the vibration it was sent. You can't watch MTV on BET's frequency and vice versa. Once we discover what our individual frequency is then we will be able to churn out the messages as quick as our little hearts and minds can; and they won't land on deaf ears. Remember, those with ears to hear, as Jesus said. It will be broken down where the Freudians mythologist will be for the people who need to be warned and cooed and the Jungians mythologist will be for the people who needs to be rewarded and celebrated. There is no right or wrong, good or bad, there just is. There is the now don't let the descriptive wordings confuse you. I'm certain that these two men weren't thinking, "One day people will take our discoveries and used them in myths of new." So honor their intentions as we like our intentions to be honored. As far as what they did intent, I don't know. I mean they were once considered friends/mentor and mentee; until something or someone came between them. I believe that great minds don't debate but conversate, so it wasn't their difference in understanding of the messages from the gods but something more mortal in being. Anyway, as we daily sit before pad or screen in order to get a few pages done, remember that we are in fact delivering messages of how things are or how they should be. Don't flip-flop and know that there is an audience for both. Stay true to your path; stay in your lane. There is no need for bearing of arms when we all can just deliver what was delivered to us. Hope you keep this in mind when you begin sculpturing your latest and greatest masterpiece for someone somewhere. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew

When I first got seriously interested in writing novels, I was so gun ho. I wanted what I wanted, and I wanted it then. Of course, that was me in a lot of the areas in my life back then, but anyway. It would take many disappointments and much sobriety and maturity for me to understand the best piece of writing advice I got during that time. I was told to live. Just that; live. I didn't understand. What did he mean by live? I was in my early twenties, hadn't I lived enough? No, I hadn't; but I didn't understand that.
This realization, that he was right, would take many slow years in the making. I would have to barely graduate from college; I would become a mother; I would move across state from my son father; I would become severely ill in many areas of my life; I would have to unlearn what I had learned; but most importantly I had to get me a library of my own. All of these things, and more, took time, but they allowed me to live. And all the while I kept telling stories. Now, here it is I look back and I see that my living was my apprenticeship. I didn't know it when I was in the hospital for this hurt or that hurt, but now that I'm on the road to recovery I see things with clarity. It wasn't the situation that was molding me into a writer but the development of character that was molding me into a professional of living and that is what makes a damn good storyteller. In today's era, we feel that we can squeeze a ten year marathon in a four year sprint. No, not if you're going to be a writer of mythology. Young Adult Fantasy? Yeah, you can dress up your teenage years and call them miniature adult years; you know brain candy. But when it comes to changing the social momentum, you have better had test driven life for all that it got. Don't think that I don't honor the teachings that university and college give a writer. I know quite well that it takes this structured type of education to know how to deliver act one in part one and act three in part three. These are things that can be taught, that can be short cut and driven around. Understanding the advanced concepts of mythology cannot. Take the time to invest in your own library. The library system here in Ohio is beautiful, but even it is not my own as I can't pick up something in the middle of the night on any night I wish. Your own library will aid in and cut years off life. Hell, it may even make you a better professional of life than living life can itself, if you read correctly. You will be very wise to become a collector of books or you will be slow in your mythological storytelling output because of the wear and tear you have to put on your Soul. This is something I wish he would have told me in addition to live. But I did live and now I know. That is my quick advice to all who wish to be a mythologist, live and read. Be discerning in what you live and inclusive in what you read. Take your time because this is not a hundred yard dash. Know that your vibration is everything and will go further than your voice will. But most of all, stand in Truth because although time changes Truth doesn't. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew Considering that today's era of Thought Beings doesn't embrace the power of mythology as a truth serum which can set one free, it could be easy for mythologist to take the easy route and not hold themselves to the standards of yesterday's storytellers. The truth is if no one reading the mythologist work but the mythologist, the myth maker needs to bring as much truth to their "fantasy" as possible. The fact that all writers are doing nothing more than explaining concepts should not be forgotten. In order to do so, there must be truth. And all truth hasn't been told otherwise we as a people wouldn't still be alive.
One of the things that I love about this wintery season, stories will be watched and told in abundance. In these stories, truth will be layered under pure nonsense. Is there such a thing as a talking snowman, no. Is there truth in the message of being oneself, no matter what, yes. And let's not get on the reindeer. No buddy, a glowing, red nose reindeer! Don't wait for the right time to layer your truth in your stories of "fantasy." Know that just as with non-fiction, history will determine which mythologists were brave enough to be ahead of their time and spoke truths that were considered unconventional during creation. No doubt that history has always and will continue to eventually determined who to call Bullshit on. But as a mythologist today, that is no more your concern than an immortal's popularity amongst mere mortals; honesty is. We are entering one of those energetically powerful decades which will lay foundation for decades and possibly centuries to come- be honest. We're all just trying to survive out here, but there is a different level of commitment and expectations for the keepers of the keys. And that, my fellow mythologist is what we are. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew It has been asked if we can and/or will grow into our upcoming new mythologies. Those questioning, wonder if the idea of individuals transforming or going through a transmutation based on the stories they hear, is a little too farfetched. Any creative writer worth their weight in gold knows that in fact we are already living mythologies; but they are the mythologies of yesterday. Apparently, the people who control the media is purposefully keeping humanity stuck in a vicious cycle of depending on their gods and goddesses of yesterday or depending on one's own imagination and understanding. Either choice will lead, has led, the residents of this planet into uncharted land and darken confusion. Why? Because, if you always do what you've always done, then you'll always get what you've always got, and to think otherwise is insanity. Not my kind of insanity . . . but insanity, nonetheless.
I believe, once again, that a new mythology is being birthed as we speak. That no longer will an individual have to depend on yesterday in order to manifest tomorrow. Instead, people will be able to be in the present moment and allow the tomorrows to manifest naturally. If there are Laws which every Life Form has to obey, then the Spa Planet: Earth has got to take the reins of its existence because what happened to Mars could very well happen to this beauty if we aren't careful. Consciousness is not a result of the mind, but the mind is a result of consciousness; therefore, the Universe is listening, watching even, and if we can destroy and start over so can it. We are about to enter in a 13,000 year cycle of light and enlightenment. That is the new world, that is the thing which frighten those holding on to the old mythologies. Black Bag Operatives are now on the ground and the battle for control of this planet will not be pretty because . . . well it will not be pretty that's all. With our being in the physical positioning of light, someone of light has to present options of existence on the table. Is there anyone one better than the true creative minds, the novelists, the storytellers, these black ops maybe, to present the options. We know from multiple histories of this planet (I'm not too certain about Mars') that the ones who tell the stories rule the planet. This means that the fight will not be over minerals, paper, or land, but over the ones who can motivate the populous to get off their ass and strive for the minerals, paper, and land, or a higher spirituality and divinity. This is why I know that whatever mythologies come out on top will determine what direction we head in. And I bet cha, the mythologies of tomorrow will not be like those of yesterday, because the Slave Race will be freed, the Hosts of the Spa Planet: Earth will be trained by a consciousness outside of their own (the Great Mystery/Prime Creator,) and every one else will enjoy being here fulfilling their assumed purpose and intent. Mythologist will and have played an important role in the development of civilization, once again- thanks Plato. Always have and always will, tuck that away some place safe. It isn't the job of the mythologist that has changed but the subject matter, as well as the level of vibration of existence, not to mention that the races other than the gods and their puppet workers are starting to stir- they just don't know what to do or where to go yet and mythologist will show them. Again, always do what you've always done… that. So, like the "New Age" thinking has instructed, stay in the now, mythologist; because the shift in position of the Sun will shift the thinking of the people, as it has always done, and can't no one manipulate or entice the Sun by means of Bullshit. This is a tricky thing, being a mythologist during the dawn of the new age, the new time. But stand your ground because it gets easier. I promise. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew There is an unwritten agreement between the mythologist and the reader/listener. We, the mythologist, will give understanding of humanity to the reader. This is different than explaining a concept. There is a degree of control the writer must have that the mythologist doesn't. During this time in history, having someone capable of explaining what's unfolding as well as what the upcoming stage of the unfolding should look like, is of the greatest importance to all who claim to be part of the global evolution, which can be labelled another age of enlightening, taking place now.
The bottom line about our position is we must be able to entertain a four year old as well as educate a forty-four year old. Mythology is gospel and we are the scribes who are receiving information for 2020 and beyond. This is an important step in the understanding of humanity- the species with 'amnesia." One which many humans have overlooked. Even the most spiritually attuned individual has not prophesized the coming of new myths. But we know better, right? I for one do not take this once in a lifetime, an era even, for granted. I used to wonder why it was taking me so long to complete Hour of Change. With the exception of discovering who was really rooting for me, I could see no advantage to holding a mythologist back. Living information . . . who wants to block that? We mythologist are the ones with the keys to the vibrational locks, for Christ sake. It's in our DNA and the recycling of information, dead information, will fall by the wayside until the collective has become drunk off our stories. From rewriting/rewiring the beginning to answering/executing possibilities, the new myths will do it all. I just hope that I'm able to live long enough to see the manifestation of the alterations, which will come, since our mythologies will therefore give the motivation to the next generations of Souls, Minds, and Bodies. But, of course, I believe that the living being is immortal whether by creation or co-creation. A living being which lives off raw information and processed wisdom will be first in line- if the mythology is right . . . nah, it'll be right. Here's to open hearts and dedicated minds of mythologist of today and tomorrow! Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew Recently, I've been advocating for a new spin on the Hero's Journey. I, like many others, once saw it as one individual going out into the cruel, cold world. Battling demons and killing monsters. Then coming home to be celebrated and rightfully embraced. Joseph Campbell pointed out that sometimes the hero even brought medicine for the village. I now see that with our coming to an understanding about the outer world, the real focus needs to be on the inner world so we can eventually be sane enough to travel the outer limits and/or have residents of the outer limits announce their visits to the planet.
We are supporting the idea and practice of mental health, more recently. We are bucking systems that don't work and building a platform for future ones that will. Healing is being taken on, deep emotional healing which is altering family DNA, and the realization has become that no one can do your healing for you; and claiming affiliation with a deity does not grant you sanity. These such statements mean . . . I better have a solution to toss in the ring. I do. I believe that the showing of how to stay in one's lane and be a hero falls on the shoulders of mythologist. Not the comparative mythologist. Not the armchair evaluator mythologist. Not even someone who is still putting the new style mythology creator's pedal to the metal while learning the road, like me, mythologist. I am talking about some of today's embraced writers of fine storytelling which could one day be considered true mythology. Ursula Le Guinn was a mythologist. But even she went to school under the old methodology. She was a practitioner of Joseph Campbell's external mastery hero's journey- not always but a lot of the time. The new stories need not be brooding. The collective needs new light, engaging, and encouraging stories so we can move forward. Meaning if we writers just get out the way during the first, second, even third draft, then the final product will be new and innovated. Yes, that means we won't be able to pop out books like we're machines, but we aren't. I've always believed that storytellers and myth makers have a special role in any civilization's societies. Maybe others don't, but I feel it's an honor to even been given the chance to attempt to write stories and mythologies. I'm certain with a new style we'll get new smiles. Healthy ones which change the reader/listener to their core. All the while, everyone is in their lane. That's the future I see for novelist and the one I personally strive for. Hell, I've been working on Hour of Change for 2 years now and by today's prolific standards and my previous habits that's a long time. But I keep increasing my personal standards and with that comes changes in ideas and dialogue for my manuscript. I do know that the only perfection is imperfection so 2020 will be the birthing of The Chronicles of Mow Yen: Hour of Change. We can only change the social momentum one idea, one story, one myth at a time and that means being social, engaging, with our products; and we got to start somewhere. Because, the medicine comes not from the outside but from within and novelist, again, have to help the communities which are directing people in that internal direction. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew I got to thinking about how these ideas, beliefs, truths, of mythology have spread wide and far. Wider and farther than the pollen carried on the lips of bees. I mean we can say it started with the Sumerians, but truth be told, it was pretty much everywhere. With that, let's say for those who feel mythology is nothing but old wives' tales and stories to scare wee ones, we pretend that there was no god, no gods, and no aliens, but plain old Earthlings living and doing plain old Earthling stuff when it comes to storytelling. Now the question becomes just how did mythology get its mobility?
Industrious, that's what Earthlings are. I do not and would not put it pass the reasoning of necessity of understanding for the stories that would eventually stick in the collective psyche to be born. Saying and agreeing with that, we must go further. Either we are all connected and therefore pulled on the same key ingredients of necessity or one group was somehow more ingenious than all the rest of us and came up with motifs which would answer everyone's primitive and far reaching questions for understanding of this creation of matter called life. We know the answer; there is a collective truth which must be expressed for the creation to move forth, hence the mobility of mythology- then and now. It is my belief that new stories (new mythologies) are about to be born and with them a shift in experience and wisdom. But the effectiveness of these new stories will be gaged by how well the embedded information translate and how portable the desire to manifest will be. Mobility of mythology is a tricky thing. One must be able to speak to the Spirit of the listener and have enough self-confidence that she knows the seeds which she is dropping will bloom one day into wild adventures and deep longings. So what are some of the things today's mythologist can do? One, release all connections to the current mythologies. I mean not even in storytelling can one really effectively put new wine in old skins. Two, release the high speed life of society. It will take a lot of solitude and vulnerability to hear the future and we can only hear the future while living in the present by giving up the past. Three, release the mob or pack mentality. You cannot provide the vision for tomorrow by trying to be loved, looked up to, and embraced by the masses today. It may sound strange, depending on isolation and innovation to create mobile stories of motivation; but that is the only way we can receive clean stories without duplication. Individuality is the key to mobility. Individuality is the new (or improved) tool of today's mythologist. And remember, if you are immortal, you will get to see, maybe live, the stories you share, one day but not . . .anyway, hold on to the truth that mobility, even with the speed of the internet, is a slow moving, slow learning fix. Without the gods to assist. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew The further one goes in the depths of mythology, the more one realizes that most of the teachings of the Mystery Schools are bullshit. I call bullshit! I call bullshit! I call bullshit!
Now don't get me wrong, the mystery schools are great for individuals who wish to dig deeper than the mythologies of the Hebrews, Egyptians, and Greeks. These school teachings add a layer of truth jelly to the thinly spread layer of truth peanut butter making a sandwich which can more easily be digested. The stage between milk and meat. But they are not to be taken as serious as they take themselves. I mean, come on, these are the same schools of knowledge that the demi-gods avoided, and the members of the light beings' community laughed at and isolated themselves from. In today's emerging era, there should be no more credence given to the mystery schools than there is given to the cults of today's secret societies. Besides the fading power and control aspect; they are about a lot of symbolism, labelled as ritual, which lacks the energetic support that they did thousands of years ago. There is something about ritual which most practitioners forget or refuse to let go of. The body is the reflection of the Soul which is part of the Spirit and if you want to change something in you the quickest way isn't through intended motion, but through intended thought. We are thought beings, those of us who are alive. Jesus knew this. Firstly, I would recommend to anyone who is consider engaging in one of these mystery schools to stop looking their noses down on the people who depend on the Hebrew mythology, because just by the hairs on your balls you aren't sipping a cup of juice and eating a wafer. It could be you who is saying nonsense such as, this is the "symbolic body and blood of Jesus." When we both know that Jesus said we could do more, do greater, do better. Not to mention he knew he wasn't for everyone's taste. Eating his body . . . come on. Secondly, I would recommend to anyone who is considering leaving the mystery schools and/or the basic beliefs of mythologies which may also leave more to be desired, to somehow and someway get thee to a metaphysical teacher. This is why. . . the metaphysical is going beyond the physical; meaning letting go of the need to embrace the image of the thought, sound, vibration, and belief that is the combines reality of the collective society. Then you can begin to correctly understand that we are information, a thought if you would, and the way to feed the individual expression is not with clothes, shoes, nail polish, hair styles, cars, homes, and you get where I'm going. Information increase with information because that which we feed ourselves with become energy and energy becomes experience and experience becomes wisdom becomes information. It's a vicious cycle and somebody got to scream about it. Lastly, I would recommend to no longer toss out the baby with the bathwater. No more mob mentality about the truth of god, gods, or ancient aliens. We don't know the beginning, certain of us weren't designed for such information. Some of us haven't eaten from the tree of "good" or "bad" to even have our mental stomachs ready for the heaviness of immortality. Immortality is the only way to get to the beginning, to thereby become empowered to create an ending. We are either Created or Co-Created; either way there is a spark of divinity and free will within us all. The larger the spark the larger the responsibility. This has nothing to do with healing as much as empowerment. As I was told you can't jump the Grand Canyon in two leaps. There has to be determination. There must be release of the fakeness, which is only good when you are fake. But mostly, there must be an untwisting of the twisted teachings of History and Spirituality. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew The idea that writing a story is simple and the author only need to take pauses here and there for fresh eyes is a fictitious telling in and of itself. The entire process is an emotional development of the author. Especially if one wish to develop the emotions of the readers. Unlike other writings which, for the most part, requires light effort for writers born with the gift of storytelling, mythological creations demand heavy bench pressing.
First, you have to decide on writing about something you know. Then have at it; which means opening up your soul and receiving a story about the topic which you've selected. As much as you may know about this topic, your first draft will be primeval soup. Some of it will have mass (meat to keep) and the rest will be liquid (soup to toss) but know that without the first draft there is nothing to eat; so, get your ears tune to the pitch of the Universe. Second, you have to see how your first draft can fit into the formula that has been agreed upon by the collective 'we' of readers. It doesn't matter that your delivered idea is original and has the philosophy to support it; what is key is that bread looks like bread that can be served on a plate and water looks like water that can be served in a cup. Third, you have to recompose your first draft into a final product. This part takes many tries and will change the texture and taste of your offering to the reading gods. But keep the first two steps close, constantly read and re-read your mythology until you know the story; now start rethinking what mythology means to you. Fourth, you have a final product which adhere to industry requirements at this point, so let's add in two things, the requirements of mythology and the requirements of compassion. Your writing is the food and/or the elixir for the community. Considering that you've experienced this journey that you're sharing, the sharing should come easy. It is your communal passion after all. Just as it feeds your soul, it should feed the collective soul. Your mythology should motivate or prompt others to get out and obtain what you gained. Finally, have faith that this new mythology will answer the pleas of the community. Then, be prepared to take that first step over and continue the process until you feel you can no longer stand and be a channel for the voice of Spirit, the voice of the Universe. Remember, mythologist spider, your job is to spin webs and change the flies caught on your web into independent spiders out there spinning webs with you. We are all one and that means that we are all spider-storytellers; capable of overcoming the largest of obstacles and calming the wildest of beasts. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew I'm so excited. Know why? I'll tell you, it's because I know what I am. I wish I could tell everyone everything but I haven't reached everyplace yet. So, I will sit silently and knit my blanket just a little while longer. The rhythm is getting smoother, faster. I'm able to do more in less time. Okay, but what does knitting have to do with the Pointer Sisters?
The song about being so excited speaks of a burning love that they're . . . so excited about. They just wanted to squeeze and wrap their arms around their beloved. I now understand. I know that I mentioned in my last post the amount of work that I was putting into Hour of Change and how the thing was shaping up; but now I want to share with all the other writers striving for publication with a traditional publisher why to hang in there and really put in the time. As we carry on, things do get easier. Now of course I'm talking about writing novels. The more drafts you tell the more you know the story, the more you know the story the better you can tell the story; and a well told story sells. Boy, does it sell. Still, I'm not speaking of the manuscript part of this business. I'm speaking on the "paperwork" the Cover Letter, Synopsis, Bio, and Similar Books (name dropping.) Little history, like many, I was rushing to get my stuff out there, you know hang up my open for business sign; but I got nowhere, fast. That is until I was told that under ripe fruit is no good just like over ripe fruit. I had to sit and think about that. After a lot of soul searching and much rap music (love me some rap and RnB,) I decided to take down my sign and get back to the drawing board. No, things weren't as easy as self-publishing and I'm not knocking it because I was it. No things weren't as glamorous as when I first started working on this now 94,000-word monster which is going on five drafts, two revisions, and countless editing. But all that, the words repeated for the umpteenth time, isn't for the "work" of writing a novel. That was to learn how much I love telling stories and how much I was willing to learn how to write them. That, too, is what I'm so excited about. That is what make me about to loose control. Getting to know this story so well that I can answer questions about the story that I have, like why must I replace Satan with Amidas? What is the difference between a Earth Mow and a Saturn Mow? Why make Young Mow Yen's death so graphic? Things like that. I learned that if I ask myself these type questions, instead of what color hair does Mow have or where is Amidas most likely to eat, I will be able to deliver deeper story without losing my swimming noddle. Not to mention the reader's. I don't think that we as writers give enough credit to editing process. We just want that high of channeling a new tale. But if you want to be a powerful writer you better get the high of playing god down also. That's also why I'm excited. Playing gods enable us to write the 2 page synopsis, the cover letter, and know that if they are rejected then the fruits are not ready. I tell you the first night I was able to condense 160 pages of the story (roughly half) on one page, I understood why I had to learn to write summaries, which I thought were book reviews. If I can't write summaries then either I don't know or the story is not complete. That's all a synopsis is. . . a summary- professional but a summary. The Cover Letter is even easier to communicate. This is what I got, this is why I selected you, and here is my pitch. Thank you very much. Close that puppy. Slap an electronic stamp on it and send it on its way. Bio, just ask, why did I write this story? And the comparison should be easy because there shouldn't be any roommates just neighbors. Like eyebrows your book and others are sisters not twins. There is only one J.K. Rowling but my one line pitch is its Rowling meeting another author (see my previous post for who.) Yeah, I could have selected someone else but when you hear her name you think magic and I got magic. So I use her as a similar book. Tough for me, most of my books are non-fiction so I can't really say I'm sisters with anyone; but I know I'm not twin. Anyway, I digress. I just wanted to say that I'm excited about the fact I know this story, Hour of Change and I'm looking forward to discussing it more than selling it and that is a change in direction, that is a change in the heart. That is the foundation of my excitement and the start of a new joy in my heart. I'm so excited! Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle. |
