“The 13th Manifesto”

Inspired by the life of the beloved Mary Magdalene and

written to celebrate our role as women.

“The rose has waited

Now it is reaching for the light”

I. Women relight your powers

You are the torch of the world.

You hold the power to light the path of your wisdom, your virtue and your beauty.

Wisdom means using your intuitive charisma, acknowledging that you have been given the gift.

Virtue means holding your men’s hand, the eternal gift of communion.

Beauty means understanding yourself.

On the glorious morning, the dew glistens on the rose.

It awaits its time.

II. Cradle your child

Love your child, when you have been denied love.

Practice patience when you have none.

Do not raise your hand on little faces.

Do not give up on guidance, meaning do not give up on the children.

Trust your intuition.

Stand between them and your suffering.

Do not judge women who are hurting their children; they have their children in their heart while making their agonizing choices.

They are afraid, they are alone, and do not know the way.

They are against the wall.

A running doe is hunted down, exhausted, and now surrounded by the wolves.

It has run too long.

It has given up its life.

Do not let your men decide your fate.

Do not let your men think they have the divine answer.

They do not have the right to judge and kill upon their judgment.  

The Spirit has the divine answer.

It is the Spirit who is judging.

It is the Spirit who is cradling our lives.

III. You shall not use God’s name to wage Wars.

Beware of the clerics who are brandishing their fists.

Free your home from hatred, do not let anger and resentment fester inside your threshold.

Pray for deliverance.

Turn your will over to the Spirit.

Pray and you shall be free.

Free your home from guns; they are instruments of death, misery and discord.

These are the precursor of your fall

Lay down your guns and you shall be free.

Lay down your guns and you shall have won.

Teach your sons love and understanding, they will be molded in your clay.

Protect your clay for it is precious.

Ask the Spirit to grant you the courage to stand up to violence.

Free your home or flee.

Flee as the dove riding the storm, it has found a safe heaven and it is waiting for the darkness to subside.

Stand between your men and your Country; do not get fooled by the sight of those glorious armies.

They smell of smoke and death.

They wave their wondrous flags; but you can hear the silent cries of those who are dying.

And rushing are the rivers of blood.

Do not listen to those who preach war under God’s name.

They are the grimacing devils.

They grasp and lie.

They lament and chant.

They are casting their wrath upon your sons.

They are winning your hearts with wicked charms and righteous glee.

IV. Reach out for Love

Expand your understanding and open your heart, for it is the path to enlightenment.

Practice compassion,

For it is the way to love, the way to peace and the way for true change.

Compassion is the door to your spirit, open it and you shall see its wonder.

Reach out for the disabled; they are suffering more then you.

Their limbs have abandoned them but their spirit is alive.

They have to stay still, but their mind cannot rest.

Reach out for those who live in silence, they are hearing more then you do.

Reach out for those who are blind, they can see more then you do

Reach out because through their hardship, they are showing you true spirit, courage and persistence.

They do not hide.

Reach out for those who have lost their mind, because their spirits are wavering.

Hold their hands, because they have lost the way.

They are seeing but they have been blinded.

Their solitude is their suffering.

They have forgotten to rejoice.

Their minds are locked and they cannot reach The Light.

Reach out for the poor, for they are watching your grasping.

They are watching your wasting and watching your greed.

In a dream, you have forgotten your hunger and thirst.

The harsh wind is blowing through your bones. 

In a dream you lie in the safe walls of your home.

In a dream you have forgotten them.

Reach out for them and you shall be joyful.

Reach out for them and you will be grateful for what you have.

Take care of the elders, they are approaching eternity.

Do not cast them away as they are suffering.

Their flesh is your flesh; their minds are your mind.

Pray for understanding.

Pray for acceptance.

Pray for compassion.

Renew the rites of Death.

Do not abandon your loved ones to the houses of secrecy, for within those walls they are strangers and do not know the way.

They do not know your mother as you do.

They do not respect your father as you do.

They have not cradled your child.

Mothers, your children await you gentle hands.

Daughters, your elders are longing for your touch

Wives, your husbands are missing you

Renew the rites of death, renew the touch from your heart.

Before decay, those who die need your love.

Reach out for those who practice other Faiths for you are wearing the veil of distrust.

Reach out for those you misunderstand, for they are like you, they are trying to reach for the light.

They are like you, they are blind with confusion.

Reach out and empower yourself with their faith.

Understand their faith, gain wisdom and understand your heart.

V. Beware of Gluttony and Lust

Your Body is your sanctuary; your gluttony is your suffering.

Beware of sloth.

Master your body. It is holding your strength, your flexibility and youth.

Practice frugality as it is the way to fulfillment.

Mind and body are a true reflection of you.

Mind and body they are the path to your spirit.

Don’t fight aging, your wisdom is ageless.

Do not fear it.

Reach out for the young ones, they need your guidance.

Here lies your eternal youth.

Bring your men to your sanctuary, your flesh.

Channel their instinct.

Search your wisdom, understand your men’s.

Understand yourself.

You are a high Priestess, holding the door of your sacred temple.

Like the high Priestess, empower your flesh for love and communion.

For sacred is communion.

Beware of lust, it means suffering, it means betrayal, it means reaching down to the beast.

VI. Beware of the smoking mirrors

The distilled grapes, the ancient smokes, the mind binders, they are smoking mirrors to your souls.

They are hiding the beast.

VII. Care for the land

Protect the Land as it is nourishing you.

Show your children its Wonders.

Listen to It’s breathing, it’s suffering, and it’s dying.

Your earth is sacred, teach your children to nurture it.

Beware of greed; with its grasping hands it is destroying your land.

Protect and stand between your men and the land.

You are keepers of the land

VIII. Still your mind, awake your Divines Senses

Meditate and quiet the mind.

Quiet the mind and discover the spirit.

As a kite in the wind, it needs strong ropes, or it will whirl away.

Hold it steady and it will fly higher.

Cultivate your wisdom.

Discover who you are, discover your intuitive senses, these are your powers.

Pray for guidance.

Pray for enlightenment.

You are hope, you are empowered.

Search for Thou.

IX. Study for Wisdom

Learn about your faith, practice its principles, and open your heart.

Learn about what you love, it will reveal your wisdom, it is Thou.

Study with your mind, interpret with your soul.

Ask for guidance and you shall be enlightened.

Reclaim your healing powers, through your hands, through your intuition.

Heal your family, heal yourself, and search for answers, for they are in Thou.

Reclaim your spiritual connection, it is longing for you.

The sleeping beauty waits.

She has been waiting for the kiss that will awake her.

She is waiting for the kiss of wisdom.

XI. Practice your Discipline

Discipline the mind; discipline the body, for the mind is lazy, for the body is mortal.

Empower yourself with your Divine plan.

Discipline your senses for like a stallion they will rear, stomp and fight.

They are hard to break

They are hard to guide.

XI. Carry your Message in your actions

Water is spirit; like rain nourishing the parched soil.

Carry your message home.

Carry your message to your loved ones.

Bring the spiritual message to your heart.

Like the rose that has waited; now it is reaching for the light.

Small words and small moves, lead to quiet changes.

They will bring a fruitful harvest, and abundant joy.

XII. Never underestimate the lower mind

Beware of his whispers, he is clever, he is cunning.

He lives within.

He speaks to your righteous ego.

He speaks through your senses.

He speaks through your ignorance and fears.

He uses smoking mirrors, for his powers are subtle.

He is powerful.

He is the Beast.

Turn your will over to the Spirit, enhance your powers by practicing your wisdom and pray.

Pray and you shall be free.

Like the first ray of the glorious sun, the spirit is rising.

Like the sun, it is overwhelming the darkness that lies within.

XIII. Reach for the light

Leap out into the light.

Change your path and come out of the shadows.

Break free from traditions, break free from rules.

Like the comet in the sky imposing her blazing wonder.

Break the cycle of your suffering.

Break the cycle of their suffering.

Lean on the Spirit for it is waiting for Thou.
