You have received this Mentor to learn about the role of traditional values in your life and your ideal relationship. Your Mentor is a traditionalist who carries the power
of your religious beliefs and your personal values. This person knows and will remind you what is RIGHT and how to live a righteous life.
This Mentor's qualities are demonstrated in the following public roles:
 |
The Dalai Lama in his role as temporal and religious leader of Tibet, |
|
The Pope as leader of Catholicism, |
|
Queen Elizabeth II as the temporal and religious leader of the U.K. and Church of England, |
|
The Emperor of Japan as the temporal and religious leader of Japan. |
These people embody their religious principles, and have histories, traditions, bureaucratic structures and dogma to substantiate their beliefs.
Getting in Touch with Your Mentor
In a tape-recorded description of your ideal relationship, explain how this goal is the RIGHT choice for your highest good and that of the other person. Play back and listen
to your explanation. Does your imaginary Mentor agree with your explanations? Make sure you are making choices your Mentor will endorse.
Your Mentor is freed from doubts. Most of us are not. Use this gift as it is called for, but remember to balance that righteousness with humanity and forgiveness.
Your Mentor's Special Gift to You
This Mentor will urge you to clarify your belief system (whatever it may be) and to set clear intentions for yourself with regard to your spiritual life.
Your Mentor has no ambiguity about how to create the perfect relationship and is sure to emphasize mutual responsibility and mutual respect. Your Mentor will help you to get
clear about what you want and will encourage you not to settle for anything less.

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 ask that you be given the strength to truly feel your competence to be alone, the warmth of your community for friends and supporters, and the appropriateness of 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 going to an empty place of worship and feeling the strength that resides in that place even when you are there alone.
Your Acquisition activity may be to stroll along in a playground feeling alone and yet connected as you watch children play, parents show concern or indifference, or romantic couples.
Before beginning your ritual, you decide its elements.
