Here is a little story that might give you an idea or two of what (else) you can do with the Genius Symols.

A friend came to visit the other day, a very stressed business man. He said over and over that he was running after time all the time, always running out of time, never enough time in the day ...

A student on the Project Sanctuary Masters Course from Singapore was experiencing difficulties with the concept of Soul Piloting. After some discussion, it turns out that "Soul" is not the word used in South East Asia to describe "a lost soul" as we Westerners do.

Instead, it has to be "ghosts" - and thus for our friends from the East, here are three stories of our first Asian "Ghost Pilot." Enjoy!

This is a wonderful healing story for abandoned shelter animals with a beautiful and heartfelt prayer to the guardians of animals from Amy Lim who is an animal energy healer in Singapore. She is using the 23 magic Genius Symbols to unfold the healing story, step by step.

Feeling unloved, sometimes? Do you wonder sometimes if you are at all lovable? Feeling lonely even inside a relationship? Misunderstood? Alone? Well, I think we can put an end to that. And a beginning to a completely different understanding of how and what love has been in your life, what really went on and how you could, if you wanted to, begin to think of yourself in a whole new way.

A metaphor poem - metasong - about The DragonRiders:

When we ride the dragons, we are wide and free ...

Traveling through the mists of space and time ...

Like flying through clouds, forward and down at the same time, spiralling sideways ...

Where will we land today ...?

Silvia Hartmann writes: I am best known for personal development research, so the question is often asked, "Why do you waste your time with Fantasy Fiction novels? Why bother? Why not write some more How To's that's what you're good at, that's what makes the money ..."

The answer is simple. Without such things as In Serein, there would be no EMO, no Energy Magic, no HypnoDreams, no Genius Symbols and there would be no Events Psychology.

How is it possible that writing a "fantasy" novel ends up creating advanced personal development techniques?

For the tenth anniversary of The In Serein Trilogy we have a brand new website to read my favourite Fantasy Fiction novel online - all three books complete, Book 1, Sorcerer & Apprentice, Book 2, The Cage and Book 3, The End of Dreams. Check it out!

This collection of poetry contains some of my personal favourite poems of all times - Steel Lord obviously, my ode to Lord Lucian; but there are also some other poems that I've always particularly loved, such as Mission, The Alien Hunter, and Unicorn Union which gives the collection its title.

One day I'll find an open mike poetry night somewhere and read Unicorn Union out aloud ...

Whilst transferring an old static website, this collection of poetry exercises called Sanctuary Poems dated March 2000 was found in a sub folder.

These poetry exercises use imagery of environments (Project Sanctuary habitats) to create a metasong flow. But apart from that, they're cool and even the html is a poetic blast from the past.

Enjoy The Sanctuary Poems.

I was just uploading a piece of art called Angel City when this poem came to me.

And in the middle of writing it, the postman knocked on the door and delivered a parcel with opalite angels  - wonderful timing :-)

Silvia Hartmann writes: Towards the end of 2010, I started writing a new Project Sanctuary manual. In the spirit of PS, I let my energy mind do its thing and really got into it.

I wrote a lot ...

Don asked: Hi there, I have just purchased the Genius Symbols e-book, which is great. I am having trouble relating to the symbol of the alien. Its not that I don't believe in aliens I just am not drawn to them in any way. I don't read sci-fi and Im not interested in outer space. So as a metaphor it is something I don't relate to. Must I use this symbol?

• This question and answer about The Genius Symbols is relevant for any symbol that might "feel weird" or that someone might not "like" so read on!

• Take me to the perfect place in time and space where a lost soul needs my help today ...

The day is fair, bright and breezy, a meadow underfoot that never saw a scythe or herds of sheep.

Last night, I settled in to see the first Episode of HBO's new power fantasy fiction show, Game Of Thrones, with a little trepidation. Still, Sean Bean was playing a lead role and with the hope that his character wouldn't be slain within the first 15 minutes, I pressed "play ..."

* Plus update - 8 episodes in and ...

The other day, this poem, The Oldest Castle, sprang to mind when I was trying to explain to someone why you mustn't give up too soon when you are dealing with memories and trying to remember a genesis event. After much searching, today I finally found it - dated 5.6.1994.

Here's The Oldest Castle ... a story poem, and a metaphor poem for so many things ...

Playing games is the heart and soul of Project Sanctuary. Here is a simple, fun quest generator to make thousands of different habitats and innumerable different quests to get you started on a journey or a game or a story of your own.

Enjoy!

A crystal healing poem - The Crystal Kingdom.

The poem can be used as an energy evocation at a crystal healing workshop or as a starting point for a crystal meditation.

Once upon a time, in a land not as far away as we might think, there lived a fairy who was very sad indeed.

For it was so that all fairies there had wonderful long tails, very elegant they were and really helped to keep the balance when they flew; and there were sparkly, shiny tails of many colours and all the fairies took great pride in grooming, oiling and massaging their tails so they would be just as proud and shiny as they could be.

A visitor asked if I had any poems suitable for a funeral for a friend. I have three funeral poems here; God's Speed is a funeral poem for a friend; Pyramid for a lover, and Upward for the funeral of a person who had no friends and may not have been a good person in this life. Hope it helps some.

This is a very rare little book of poetry - Fairy Tales by Silvia Hartmann, May 1994. Only 24 copies were printed in the first place, and this is the last known battered survivor.

Fairy Tales contains 23 poems: Tarot - Spell - Silent Mirror - Pyramid - Ghost - Soul Hunter - Scylla & Charybdis - Bride of Christ - Message - Sleeping Beauty - Seagulls - Peter Pan - 100 - Wild Apprentices - Agenda - Sword - Castle - Candle - The Book - To Find The Child - Magic Carpet - Waterway - Bedtime. Enjoy.

To me, poems are a way to express oneself without having to look over the shoulder at ol' Granma grammar, without some teacher standing by with a rod to hit your knuckles if you says somming what they dunnot likes.

Freedom with words.

Do as you please, what you will; I sometimes do. Here's why I love Misty Mornings ...

A gentleman wrote: "I would love to write a love poem for my wife - it is our anniversary - but I'm no good with words ... Can you recommend a poem for a husband who can't write a love poem?"

So I wrote one specially for all those gentlemen out there who don't have the words, with material assistance from Lord Lucian, and on their behalf. Enjoy!
