I WOULD LIKE TO BEGIN where the last article ended with sleeping beauty awakening after a long sleep by the Kiss of her prince.

The prince enters the castle and finds that everyone in the kingdom is asleep from a curse put upon them 100 years before. He comes upon sleeping beauty and is mezmerized by her beauty. He kneels by her bedside, kisses her on the lips and awakens her from the evil spell that she has been placed under for all these years. Sleeping Beauty awakens by the embrace of her Prince and as she does her Kingdom does as well.

This story can be seen as the soul that sleeps until the balance of the feminine and masculine meet and wed in Divine Union, bringing together the Divine marriage of Heaven and Earth. As this occurs all are effected by this union, for this union is the match that makes one Re-member who she is.

You are forever in a relationsip so holy that it calls
to everyone to escape from lonliness, and join in your love.

I continue to move into the complete expression of The Heart - my own Love nature. I chose this as article 10 in the Quantum Miracles series with the intent to bring the Lovers to a place of inner balance where the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of the self harmonize together in what some call The Alchemical Marriage within. As I share here what I have come to remember as the re-emergence of The Lover's within my own being, I see all who read what I share blessed by my own experience, for I know that all in my world is affected by all I assume and all I am.

In the Basic Tarot Story, The Fool comes to a cross-road, filled with energy, confidence and purpose, knowing exactly where he wants to go and what he wants to do. But he comes to a dead stop. A flowering tree marks the path he wants to take, the one he's been planning on taking. But standing before a fruit tree marking the other path is a woman. He has met and had relationships with women before, and some were far more beautiful and alluring. But she is different.

Seeing her, he feels as though he's just been shot in the heart with cupid's arrow, so shocking - so painful - is his "recognition" of her. As he speaks with her, the feeling intensifies; like finding a missing part of himself, a part he's been searching for his life long. It is clear that she feels the same about him. They finish each others sentences, think the same thoughts. It is as if an Angel above had introduced their souls to each other. Though it was his plan to follow the path of the flowering tree, and though it will cause some trouble for him to bring this woman with him, to go somewhere else entirely, the Fool knows he dare not leave her behind. Like the fruit tree, she will fulfill him. No matter how divergent from his original intent, she is his future. He chooses her, and together they head down a whole new road.

In the tarot we see The Lovers as the harmony of the combined polarities, expressed by Love in the perfect union of male and female. Committed to this Union of Divine love the two walk as one complete expression of power that comes only after the two are wedded in bliss. Waite's deck shows the Lovers as Adam and Eve.

In the book of Genesis, the Bible says that God created "male and female" in His image, and gives them dominion over all living things, and commands them to "be fruitful and multiply." With this comes the desire for union which is the desire for the presence of Alpha and Omega within our very own temple to be established as the perfect realization of oneness. When the two are one, the power of wisdom brings forth the purity of divine love to perform its perfect expression.

If, therefore, thine eye be single thy whole body be full of Light.
- Matthew 6:22

In this author's opinion, the seventh of the ten commandments ("Thou shall not commit adultery") means do not take your mind off of God or The Highest Knowing within one's very own being. And this can only be accomplished once one is their own pure state of oneness - male and female together in Love.

In A Course in Miracles we are told to "Be vigilant for God and His Kingdom," for, as we keep our mind on the True State of Oneness, we can see Heaven become our experience. The Lovers are the purified state of The One Son: the original idea of God expressed, God's Love nature revealed.

As one begins to let go of the fear that has kept them prisoner to the world of separation they begin to see and feel the fruits of their labor. They begin to feel free and one with their world. All seem more loving and kind. The world becomes more like home than the impersonal state before this re-union occured.

As the lovers wed, an alchemical process takes place in which all dis-ease reverses to the state of well being, and as they unite in the arms of Love this expression brings one to the state of Light that comes from the energy of the full maturation of sexual oneness.

As beings of light, the desire to move into union with one another is the conscious creative power of Light itself that longs to express itself through sexual orgasm, where the ultimate explosion of cosmic bliss is always perpetuating that moment of the original Big-Bang that is always forever- expanding and exploding as the universe itself...
- AbbaAnanda

Creation itself is a direct manifestation of the One becoming Itself and giving birth to Love's offspring.

You are that which has alway been since the inception of this never ending orgasmic-expansion that God had chosen to do for the sake of Love itself.
- AbbaAnanda

As I, Ananda, awaken the Love I AM in me, I am beginning to see the out-picturing of Love so pure in all that I meet - I am certain that this Love Nature has awakened the Lover in me who is ready and certain that as she completes this Alchemical process, Her Prince will appear in perfect reflection to what she feels in her own very being as the personification of Love. I've been given glimpses of the Heaven I will be living in once I allow Love to become me once again. I can tell you that the visions are beyond what my conscious mind could have imagined before now. My Kingdom awaits the wedding of their Princess and Prince for they know that once this occurs they, too, will be once again awakened by Love's Kiss as well.

I invite all to join me in my Castle as I await the arrival of My Prince; Eternal Bliss will be our gift to you.
