When I was very young, I often used to see a black horse that no-one else could see.

I soon learned to stop talking about it, because that didn't do any good at all, but I still saw it; running alongside when I was being driven in a car, or out of the windows of a train, or a bus. I think it was the day I saw the horse and I was on a North Sea ferry and the horse was running with the waves that I realised that it was a spirit horse.

"Tell me a story," she said ...

An original story in the classical fairy tale format by Silvia Hartmann for those who might be weary of the drudgery of life, and seek to recapture their magic.

Once upon a time, there was a boy, and he dreamed that he was sitting in a rowing boat that did not move, and the ocean was made entirely of books, waves upon waves of books, static, frozen, inescapable, terrifying and lonely ...

This story turned up in the warm up for the Google book (The Naked Writer) project.

It's amusing ...

There is a strong upward movement and to the right, and I find myself standing at the edge of a forest at night.

Behind me is the forest, hushing and whispering, and before me there is meadow land. It is dark but the stars above are extremely bright and the sky isn't black, it is a dark midnight blue.

Energy mind, please take me to a soul who needs my help tonight. 

Sitting in front of a fire at the top of a hill on a freezing cold night. The wind is causing the flames to lash around viciously. It is going to be a long, cold and hard night. 

I did a Soul Pilot mission last night for the first time.

It was interesting and had a twist at the end that I didn't expect ...

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

Rushing, spinning, travelling far, travelling fast to distant shores and times well spent, an empty bank account of time, there is no time now, time has left and we are all alone ...

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 ...

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!

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.

Rob Fox writes: I wanted to let you know about my first experience of giving The Gift. I was visiting my Mother, dropping off a DVD I had ordered for her. She seemed really down and complained of cold chills and an icy feeling in her stomach. She said she was feeling a little depressed too. I was about to ask her what she was depressed about when I thought it would be a great moment to try using the Gift.

In February, I set a special Project Sanctuary game for the members of StarFields VIP - to become a pure energy healer in Pertineri and to treat 12 clients, provided for you by your own energy mind.

This is a challenging game because it involves 12 personal and unique stories of healing to be played wholeheartedly; each person who plays it will of course be sent the exact right clients to help that one unique person evolve. Here are my 12 stories of healing, courtesy of Project Sanctuary, which really is the greatest game on Earth.

Today is Winter Solstice and it is cold.

Gather around the fire, and I will tell you a story ...

"Give Me Something Beautiful Today ..." is an example of what you can say to your own energy mind to set the contract for a vision or a Project Sanctuary experience. This is a slightly more advanced version of the simple instant energizing habitats, healing habitats or sleep habitats as it goes beyond just taking in the energy of that world and into an actual threshold shift.

So here is the story ...

Time Sand is a short fantasy fiction story that was originally created as an illustration for The Genius Symbols 1st Edition - how to use the Project Sanctuary Classic Game to create a habitat and a story that plays within it.

But there is more to this story than meets the eye ... :-)

There are many facts and the most intriguing and in-depth structural things about the human mind and the practice of Project Sanctuary.

But like all wonderful creations, there is also a simple story behind the scenes.

This is the story of Project Sanctuary.

Soul piloting is an excellent remedy for depression. I was feeling depressed and listless today, so I decided to be a Soul Pilot for a while, see if that would make me feel any better.

And indeed, it did. Now, I'm feeling calm, serene, tranquil and very grateful for the story and the experience with The Little Black Soul.

Fairy Tale Therapy is an extremely powerful way bring healing to systems which remain otherwise out of reach. But there is more to fairy tale therapy than that alone.

Putting someone in charge of *all their stories* - which includes heirloom stories, all forms of old wives tails, religious stories, what they see on TV and read in the newspaper, and also, their very own memories and imaginations as well as fairy tales - is probably THE single most powerful key to personal development we could give to a person.
