Metaphor free course: A short 12 point course on metaphor, metaphor poems, simile, and all things metaphor related with Silvia Hartmann

Classic Fairy Tale The 12th Spirit by Silvia Hartmann - the Antidote to Lord Of The Flies.

John S writes: Every PS player should have a toolkit of skills (and, indeed, the PS manual is designed to provide you with many of them.)

Among the slightly more advanced skills a PS practitioner should have are these: telepathy, flying, and teleporting. Allow me to explain some of their uses and a start on how to develop these skills.

One of the neat things that comes naturally to Project Sanctuary is to take as a starting point a dream.

You go right back and re-experience it, then you interact in there just as you would with any Project Sanctuary habitat - with integrity, with fun, and with volition. Dreams, and especially recurring dreams or dreams which haunt the dreamer, are MESSAGES, of course - we're supposed to do SOMETHING about them, change something, TAKE SOME ACTION.

PS allows us to lucid dream anytime we choose to do that and interact directly with the dream, and the messenger of self who sent the dream. Here's an example of dream changing that is really good fun. Read on!

Silvia Hartmann writes: Three poems, three Project Sanctuary experiences, three habitats - different places in time and space that one may return to and explore further, which may become base camps in foreign lands and which may well hold much magic. In the second poem, there is a portal to a very distant place - "The other side of morning".

You can listen to it here and the texts are there as well. Enjoy!

This is a Project Sanctuary story from 1998. That's quite a while back and at a time, when the central sanctuary had been fully established and all sorts of challenges and problems in the environment surrounding it had already been resolved.

So this story is about finding out more about the wider realms of this personal universe, and this flying mission, involving a desert with a poisoned oasis, a lost caravan and a Golden City, was quite a revelation ...

The original HypnoDreams tour from 2005.

This is what a 14 year old boy who isn't that interested in metaphor, creativity or therapy managed to do stone cold with this Project Sanctuary game (details below).

What he found has now been used by many as a way to calm "Ashtars" - a codename Project Players have for their spirit selves.

The young gentleman was further inspired to produce a piece of digital art to give an impression of the Fostris habitat. Excellent!

I've been collecting space backgrounds for a while. Well, everyone needs some sort of a hobby ... But anyway, I've put them all into a collection directory. This also includes some of the totally mindblowing Hubble deep space galaxies photographs. If you ever feel your problems are overwhelming, go look at those. It kinda puts our life on Earth into perspective, that's for sure ...

Ferengi are a species from StarTrek that was particularly highlighted in Deep Space 9. Their religion is commerce and their society is determined by profit.

The Ferengi believe that the universe is held together by the Great Material Continuum, also known as the Great River. The Ferengi believe that each part of the universe has too much of one thing, but not enough of another, and it is through the continual flow of the Great River that wants and needs can be fulfilled, if one navigates the River with sufficient entrepreneurial skill. By request, here are the complete Ferengi rules of acquisition.

Not at all far away from here, there lived a very bad boy.

He did not have any friends, for he wasn’t very friendly; and he was always in trouble for the things he said, he did, and others said he did, whether he had done these things or not.

Nobody liked him and everyone found constant fault with him; the people in whose house he lived thought him a burden and told him so in no uncertain terms.

One night, after having done something bad again and having been punished again, the boy had enough and although it was dark and raining, he ran away from home.

Silvia Hartmann writes: In my travels around the web, I come across some really interesting people who do wonderful and creative things.

I'm pleased that Project Sanctuary Portal gives me a place to showcase such sites properly rather than just with a tedious link.

So, and to kick off the new section of "Creative People On The Web", here's Steven Brooke, author, singer, musician, producer and artist.

Do you remember when you were small, perhaps you made a wishlist at some time. Perhaps you wrote to Father Christmas, or perhaps you just made one on a scrap of paper just for yourself one day.

Perhaps you stood in front of an ancient wishing well and closed your eyes and threw your coin, and then another, and then another?

This is a really good fun pattern to allow groups or friends to trade "resources" of the magical kind.

Two people can play this quite happily, the more, the merrier. But of course, one can also just attend an astral bring and buy - there are many across the planes and the layers :-)

I am often asked what we mean by the term "crossroads" as regards to the kind of states we use for Sanctuary hypnosis.

Here is a short explanation of the Crossroads.

Shovelling the ocean with a teaspoon.

So, that's how it is.

A weary drop at a time ...

Silvia Hartmann writes: In our ongoing investigations into the human energy system, we have come across what I call "The Psychic Circuitry".

This is an aspect of the energy system which is not properly understood and much more directly connected with the physical body than the general meridian system - and far more powerful. Acupuncture can't heal cancer - but the psychic circuitry can, and malfunctions in it cause it, too.

Here is a gentle and truly beautiful approach to consciously using the psychic circuitry for evolution and for healing.

Satire Angels & Demons - A Love Story by Silvia Hartmann

Here is an interesting scenario - someone being in a position to do something but they are unable to do so because of past limiting decisions to the contrary.

Now of course, there are many ways to treat this, but this Project Sanctuary occurence which happened spontaneously and in real time with a person tonight was so moving and elegant, it deserves to be retold in case someone else might like to try this or something like it. 

There is also another and rather mysterious aspect to this story, but more of that later. Let's start at the beginning.
