At this point the analogy with the sages brushes of Western extra fame must be dropped. sage brush is hollow, and sand particles are solid." - David Bodanis, The Secret House : The Extraordinary Science of an Ordinary Day (Get the book.)

"Many people resonate with Eowyn (the princess warrior archetype), Frodo (the humble savior archetype), or Gandalf (the wise sage).

"Following the silly but sage advice of my "guides," I imagined it "not there," and it wasn't. What a difference the framework of your perceptions and beliefs can make. Just recently, with the advent of the message board on the Matrix Energetics website, people have been telling me that they are learning how to do these things simply by reading about them and applying what is taught there.

"The clearing process I use has been adapted for Plant Spirit Healing from Alberto Villoldo's Illumination Process described in his book Shaman, Healer, sage.

Repeat daily for one week."
