The Mythologist

My new dog is named Poseidon.  He is a lot like Zues from Ohio but blonde.  They both are great dogs, the shepherd lab breed is one of the best in the world for intelligence and companionship.  Most of them have wonderful dispositions and they love humans. Glad to introduce my new family member.  The beginning of the year I will be posting profiles of the Greek Gods so everyone can have their background stories. Happy New Year and Merry Christmas.

This is probably the secret to my happiness, I try to be grateful and thankful for atleast one thing every day.  Today I am thankful for my children's health.  I watch ID tv a lot and I could not imagine loosing my child to such things. I am thankful for their safety and hope they continue to keep safe.  I hope they manage to balance their freedom with intelligent choices and today I just want to be thankful for all of the good things in my life. I love you kids.  Take care.

The Mythologist: EROS: Teaching what divine love can be...By Expres... :      Who is Eros, and why should we care?  With 40-50 percent of all married couples divorcing, it is time for this genius to prevent this ...

Well I am definitely astounded and surprised as I walk into a room of angels and find them hurting humans and punishing them for certain transgressions.  They have these swords that actually burn holes in the auric life shield of a human and it steals their souls. The humans were being punished for things such as negative thoughts, adultery, theft, petty criminal acts.  I did not notice murderers being punished but I figured, since they already lost their soul there is no need for an angel. These angels folks believe were good helpers of the Gods?  Really?  Satan herself was standing behind me as I watched this unbelievable act of horror.  She didn't say anything and allowed me simply to observe what was taking place as I held the hand of a suffering human who was being threatened by an archangel. The human finally looks at the angel and says The master is here, even angels tremble at this revelation.  I am simply confused and in disbelief.  Firs...

As I work on my novella, I am at a loss of words and ideas for my blog.  I would love any open comments from my readers about things you want to hear.  Such as character sketches, what the Gods are really like or something?  You give me some ideas and I promise to run with them and produce things we all enjoy. So here is the invitation to comment and critique. Thanks Elizabeth

It has begun, the unexpected book that just flows from me.  I never intended to do it for publication and who knows if it will ever get published?  I was actually trying a therapeutic approach to expressing and exercising some pain from my life. Who knows?  It just may become a master piece.  What is it about?  I don't know yet, but its personal and its beautiful so far.  You will all have to wait. It required a great sacrifice, but it was worth it is all I can say at this point.

I refuse to protest or get angry about past hurts today.  It should and is a day to give thanks and be grateful for the good things we have and that is what I choose to focus on for the holiday.  If forgiveness is divine, how about we try forgiving and reconciliation over protesting and holding a persons fathers sins against them?  Let us move on and reopen those lines of communications.  To heal the land and heal the hearts.  For none is perfect and as Paul said, "we all fall short of the glory of God."  If it is an apology for the sins of our fathers, let me apologize one time and final time. When your ready, we are here to listen and learn from you.  In the meantime it is my hope that you won't allow the anger to eat you up and prevent you from coming to see the new generation and the surprises they hold in store.  In every people group, there is bad, good and ugly.  There are also those willing to heal the hearts and land so that we may...

The library is my personal holy ground and sacred space.  It is the temple where I gather to worship, learn, gain wisdom, sleep, check out community events, buy some books, get music, see art, or take an adventure in a great story.  This is where I meet my God, the great Liberator, what a personal Eros is to me.  This is a love that is a passion for the story of humans, we are not going to speak of romantic eros today.  What do I do in my temple?  This safe space where I can simply be myself, or pretend to be someone else if I wish? Well, I can read a book or just explore the shelves and stacks for something interesting or striking to me.  When I first enter, I just like to walk around and explore and smell the library.  It is the smell of something old, but something classic, books just have a special scent.  Its like a house of classic belongings that your allowed to borrow any time you want to, as long as you return it.  How neighborly i...

These are my personal writing lessons for today that were not intended to be shared, however, I think its important to share my values and ethics when it comes to spiritual matters or religion.  My opinion on what comes from my heart and how I personally worship or exercise my faith.  I am going to share with you two places where I felt safe and inspired.  Where I found the freedom to just be myself, despite any other external things happening in my life at the time.  Enjoy the history class and the library. HISTORY CLASS I loved coming to Western Civilization class at OCU two days a week when I first began college.  Everyday was a fantastic experience and a wonderful setting for learning and inspiration.  I cannot tell you if it was the atmosphere, the teacher, or the subject.  I didn't enjoy the school but loved the class.  The teacher was a phenomena when it came to history, which apparently is an interest we both held in common.  It w...

Anyone sick of seeing nothing but how perfectly happy and wonderful people say they are?  They leave out the fact that their tired, wanting to put on pj's and veg out with some bon bond.  My rule of thumb is if it looks that good on the outside, its probably falling apart inside.  Or again just too good to be true. I have read married folks blogs that make it sound like a honeymoon for 20 years?  Not in my world, that may be possible on Planet X or somewhere but i sincerely doubt its as great as you say.  Or your perfect little children who do nothing wrong ever?  Get a clue. Oh then you are perfectly ready for heaven?  But if God is ultimate reality, how can you be ready?  Since apparently you never mess up or sin? I don't want to see pictures of your perfect life.  I want to destroy your perfect life.  I don't want to talk to someone who's princess pampered but cannot overcome an affair let alone a hangnail.  If it did happe...

I think I might be cursed.  For some strange reason I attract or end up with the crazy of all crazy when it comes to dating.  From werewolves to narcissists, I have had a date with all those nuts.  I could understand if they had been drinking or on drugs, unfortunately, that was not the case.  Let me tell you my story. Hurricane coming so I have a date.  We went to a movie and hung out here and had dinner.  The first evening Mick seemed normal.  So I decided I would go out with him again the following weekend.  We decide to go hang out with his friends and on the way to their house he tells me not to say anything to anyone, but he is a werewolf that changes during a full moon.  To boot, he is also being stalked by every woman he has ever met.  This is a 40 year old man who is sober and I am pretty sure he believes himself.  So we finally get to the pub where he only has one or two beers, which is cool, but then SOBER-he tells me t...

So during a kitchen renovation, I should have done something different.  I decided to do turquoise and grey in the kitchen with pops of yellow.  I painted the wall white then proceeded to use "real turquoise" on the cabinets with very pale countertops.  Needless to say it looks like a whitewashed pale mess.  How am I going to fix this? So I pull out my kit of paints and lo and behold I darkened the blue color to a more green turquoise and it worked.  I need to repaint the cabinets anyway, but, I feel so lucky that it was easy to fix.  Anyone who is going to do quite a bit of painting needs to invest in a paint sprayer, it is worth every single penny.  Especially if you mess up and have to redo it. Sometimes my errors end up making a better result.  Never use all pastel colors in one room, it needs contrast, desperately.  My best result with mixing colors was a bright yellow mixed with a turquoise color.  The room is inviting and orig...

     Our decisions reflect our heart, how does one decide to eat a child molestor's face off?  It really does not matter to me why, when, how, or what.  I am just glad we have someone who would eat the face off of a rich man who sodomizes children and the government protects because he is rich.  32% of all child molestors, almost half of them are upper class, and they get a slap on the wrist for the worst offense known to humans.  When justice fails, I would love Hannibal Lecter to come to real life and handle that.  Then I personally would give him a medal.  Only 3% of these molestation cases ever go detected. (childluresprevenetion.com c 2006).  When mens hearts have become so evil what is our recourse?  This means that anyone who avenges a child is doing a public service for the entire youth.      It is delusional, and it is fantasy but at least i err on the side of fantasy.  I want a hero who will defend the...

I heard them ask me to tell the ancient stories, the ancestral heroics that made our world so worthwhile long ago.  The Universe and collective conscience is preserved and must be reawakened by the stories we once shared around those campfires, to set loose and liberate imagination and creativity.  So we set our hearts on a journey and allow ourselves to ascend with a god, like the ancient greeks, and we find treasures. Everyone can fight and argue over beauty or truth but no-one can argue over necessity.  She is the mother of invention and a friend to everyone.  The good is our choice, or is it?  So we find the store house of heaven and enter the giant library where all stories of all time are held in a vault.  The very golden vault of the akashic records. Stories of every human being ever born, types of books on every subject thought of, coming to be and future goodies;  all in a vault where we were free to look upon the world and see it from a n...

     Who is Eros, and why should we care?  With 40-50 percent of all married couples divorcing, it is time for this genius to prevent this issue in the future.  Eros teachings are needed so desperately for the youth that will become a teenage wasteland and the world a Fisher King Castle.  So I must stand up and do what I can to reawaken the true meanings of mythos and prevent future problems.  Learn this my children before you marry because there is nothing worse than being married to someone you don't belong with or love like Eros loves.  Two souls cannot join because they don't belong together, and yes it takes time.  I am not going to preach abstinence or talk about duty.  I am going to give you a path that leads to the unifying power of truth and love.  Eros is as difficult to explain as wisdom was for Solomon, so bear with me and read on.  Follow the truth of your heart and you will be rewarded.      We a...

     Yesterday was on of the best days I have had in a long time.  I attended the Lady of the Lakes Renaissance Festival in Tavarres, Florida.  For anyone who enjoys this type of thing, I highly recommend it to anyone.  Personally, I love these types of festivals and always have a good time when attending.  I was pleasantly surprised by a few new and interesting things I had not seen before.      The first being falconry and see a bird named Zeus.  The half hour show was educational and very entertaining.  The birds were cool.      They had a box of dragons eggs from Game of Thrones which we tried to win, but I didn't.  The eggs at the shop were really awesome and handmade by the artist.  They even came in a trunk that resembled the show perfectly.      Last but not least, my friend paid for me to see the psychic to get an answer to a burning question. Of course, the answer was positiv...

     It’s the first day of school and I haven't been in a classroom in ten years.  This is my last college experience, and I wish I had done something different, but I don't regret my decision.  I learned things that have been helpful to where I am today.  I learned that I had a great capacity for love and that I had a low tolerance for classroom procedure and direction.  Along with this self knowledge came inspiration, chaos, intense passion and creative ability.  I cannot discern for you whether it was the teacher or the school-I will leave that for you the reader to discern.      Its a cool fall day in Ohio this September and I am off to class, way to early, as usual I make the common older student mistake of scheduling an eight am class.  The good news is that this happens to be one of my favorite classes and I am assured an A.  The next class on the schedule is the unknown, Western Civ.  I had always loved h...

     I am not gonna ask what's wrong with confidence.  I am going to give you tips on how to achieve it for yourselves.  Below are the steps to becoming confident.  Lots and lots of practice will help you become a person who knows themselves. 1.  Manage stress by not letting anyone cause you to doubt yourself. 2.  Dress your personal best and follow your intuition, you know how to do this and what is best for you.  Keep up with personal hygiene and good grooming.  That goes without saying. 3.  Do the right thing, no matter what the cost. 4.  Accept compliments graciously. 5.  Take responsibility for educating yourself.  It's okay to say you don't know, but if you know something, take responsibility for it.  You are the only person who can defeat your ignorance. 6.  Always stop to look how far you have come and grown. 7.  Commit to success. 8.  Fake it till you make it.  Never feel ash...

So I asked, "Is it possible he could surprise me?"  And you all want to know who he is?  Sorry can't reveal my sources. Result of Tarot Moon:  You feel vulnerable, confused and full of doubts (don't we all).  All is not as it seems, feel the fear and do it anyway.  Expect the new and unexpected to show up and welcome  it into your life.  Stick with this, its right for you. Star:  The wish card that brings happiness and joy.  You may receive a gift or gifts. Fear is Judgement card:  You are afraid that the conclusions you've been wanting are delayed and fear any far reaching changes ahead.  Any choice you make will be a choice for the better. Death:  A time of absolute endings is the obstacle that needs to be absorbed.  The death of old ways that no longer serve  your best interests.  A time of a brand new beginning. Strength works against you:  Negativity and lack of self control are your enemies...

I have heard it described as Ikigai, a reason for being.  No fancy words are needed to describe this thing.  In fact, I may not be able to describe it at all.  It's like Solomon trying to describe wisdom.  I know today I am content, fulfilled, warm and happy.  I have a mission and a purpose everyday of my life.  When I chose to be a freelance writer I just knew it was what I was supposed to be doing.  I know because I know I know. It is an inner contentment and a blessed assurance that everything is going to be okay.  As if I am fulfilling my destiny.  My reality and perspective are more positive and I have nothing to complain about.  Even going out alone to places no longer bothers me and I am smiling and enjoying my freedom on a daily basis as the Ikigai settles into my being. I am sure the weather in Florida is responsible for a portion of being happy, but its not the full story.  As I settle into my destiny and purpose, all ...

I didn't write for a couple of days because I wanted to absorb the results of the presidential election.  It did not really matter much to me who won the election.  I am guessing the democrats messed up and the Republicans got the votes because we are frustrated and bored.  As taxes get higher and no real social programs show improvement; one has to ask, what did you do?  NOTHING. As Socrates said, "the public is not intelligent enough to elect the right person for the position.  They vote for who is most popular."  3000 years later, Socrates has been proven right over and over again by the Americans.  I say how are you free, if you adopted Britain and Rome's taxation program, be you democrat or republican?  Let the other  countries pay for our services.  Then stop letting them come here illegally and lower the taxes on beer, cigarettes and other things.  I also feel legalizing drugs and prostitution could help with the taxes bein...

Monday Morning, November 7, 2016      Woke up to the Jehovah Witnesses telling me how horrible the world is and how we are all going to hell.  I told them I was not worried and thanks for stopping by.  Why is everyone so worried about the next world when we have enough to do in this one?  Excluding someone is the most unkind thing a person can do.  So they can be unkind because I cannot abide this fatalistic attitude anymore.      Perhaps THEY need a change of perspective.  When God created humans, the archangel Michael bowed down to God's glory and volunteered to serve those same humans.  At this point, in the beginning, not one human was excluded.  The Universe is simply glad you're here.  Why make this harder than it has to be with dogma, codes, exclusion and all these fancy things that label us?      I prefer to be called a Universal human.  I prefer to go about my business during the day ...

Last nights dream  (free writing style) I dreamed I was at church last night, a Roman Catholic Mass, being that I was raised in the Catholic faith.  I recall teaching someone why we kneel, genuflect, stand and sit at certain times and why this was being done. For some odd reason the Christian (don't know what type but they were progressive in their music) choir came to sing during the eucharist.  Several people got angry because they didn't like the music and it became a riotous protest.  Several people laying on the ground to protest the choir.  The music director actually asked them to leave in the middle of mass services. i remember being very angry and didn't want the people from the Christian choir to think all roman catholics were like that.  As the director of the christian choir walked out the door I stopped her to let her know I enjoyed their song and wished they could stay.  That i disagreed with such behavior.  She hugged me and tol...

     What is it about a journal we all love to sneak in and read?  Opening a diary is like opening a window into another persons soul.  The written word is as much an art form as a painters canvas.  A nice addition is the fact it allows the imagination to play and make the images up for itself.   To smell what we imagine the area to smell like, or imagine the idyllic setting for ourselves.    The inspiration is universal, the imagination the individual.  In a journal we get to read, we are the voyeur and creator at the same time.  It may be a true story, but we get to exaggerate and create what we think it would be like.  This is why a journal or diary is so sacred to the reader.     Today is Sunday.  I woke up at about ten am to an overcast sky in Ocala, Florida.  It is my first fall season in the new state of Florida and I am amazed I can still wear summer clothing in November.  Our average temperat...

Dehumanizing our Educational System High Stakes Testing High stakes testing is nothing more than a measure, equation, or number that dehumanizes every student and employee in our public school system.  A system that only teaches a student to be a good citizen and not a creative and free thinker.  An equation is perfectly balanced; resulting in net movement of 0; what is being produced?  An illusion.  This is a false tower that only sees results as numbers that are equal all the way around and therefore solved.  When did anyone in any educational setting ever learn from solved problems and no way to think for themselves?  Not one person can learn anything from this because the thinking is flatlined or dead.  This practice worked well for the Nazi government in 1930 because it failed to appreciate the difference, the flaw, and the separate learning styles that need to be tailored to each classroom group.  As people and humans we are born ...

My name is Expressia, the narrator of our story and I am honored to be among my fellow mortals and to share this experience we call life.  This blog is going to be purely about expressing ourselves.  The intention is to create a space where a variety of topics can be discussed, stories shared, and creativity flourishes.   It is the career of a God or Goddess to create; my particular medium is through writing and communication.  I wish to communicate with all of you.  We can share ideas, opinions, thoughts, and we can be free to meet on the level. I am also going to showcase the beginning of my talents in this area and I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I have enjoyed all of your stories.  It is my gift to the world and the world of stories is your gift to me.
