This Mentor teaches about power: financial, material, psychological or political power. He is in complete control at all times, and is very skilled at controlling everyone
around him. He accomplishes everything he sets out to achieve with single-minded and clear, focused detachment.
Some examples of this masculine powerhouse--one who always gets what he wants--are the public personae of Bill Clinton, Sean Connery, Michael Douglas, and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The characters they portray in public are determined, successful, multifaceted, and even ruthless in accomplishing their goals.
Getting in Touch with Your Mentor
Write in incredible detail every facet of what you want in your ideal relationship--every detail. Then, review it daily. Add and subtract features of the description
but relentlessly pursue what you want.
This Mentor is ruthless--often heartless--but always successful in getting what he wants. When you design what you want, make sure your heart and the hearts of the others
in your goal relationship are made joyful by what you will attain.
Your Mentor's Special Gift to You
Your Mentor will teach you to be assertive, to set boundaries to succeed in your world, create partnerships, never to be a "door-mat." He will teach you to value yourself,
to have confidence in yourself, and to get what you want--on your terms. Receiving this Mentor helps you to stand up for yourself! Never compromise! Define what you want and
go get it!

You are in the midst of total transformation, change and renewal. The wake-up call is being made. Lights are flashing. We are talking radical change. Now move into resolution
and begin adjusting to your new reality. An old relationship, career, or partnership may be ending or a new one may just be beginning--adjust.
Imagine Jesus who symbolizes for us the miracle of Transformation. When it was time for him to go public, he was thrust into it and went public. When multitudes needed to
be fed, he manifested the quantity needed to nourish his followers. Just as Jesus reportedly was given very little choice about his future, you, too, are being told that you
will change. Jesus preached peacefulness and invoked people to change and wake-up. Whether you want to or not, you are being given your very own wake-up call.
While major parts of your life are changing, you have no control over this. It is your destiny. The best way to deal with this is to acknowledge that these major changes are
for your highest good and then to "go with the flow" until you can truly own this transformation and your new status.
Don't be afraid of what comes next.

Rituals are immensely powerful and used throughout our public and personal lives. We may joke about the ritualized aspects of our readying for work in the morning but there is a powerful quality to rituals that cannot be denied. We use them for every important time of our lives. So, we invite you to use that power in your journey.
A ritual has four elements:
- It must have a goal.
- The act of a ritual must have time and space boundaries, occur during a specific length of time, perhaps from the time you say �begin� until you say �end,� and occur in a specific location, perhaps in a garden bounded by four stones.
- A ritual must have a beginning, middle and end.
- The ritual must include a physical activity.
All of our rituals follow these four rules. Think of a marriage ceremony, a funeral, the swearing in of officials, the school year, a religious activity. Your ritual�s goal is to invite advice from your Mentor to help you solidify your resolve to accomplish your wonderful relationship.
We want you to include in your ritual a "Letting Go" and an "Acquisition" activity. Your Letting Go activity may be simply telephoning a friend with whom you've lost touch and inviting them to coffee.
Your Acquisition activity may be to have a tea party with your imaginary Mentor and converse about how firmly you are committed to this relationship and elicit advice from your Mentor as to how to stay clear and successful in the accomplishment.
Before beginning your ritual, you decide its elements.
