Love Letters to Life Produce the Power to Focus

"I am the pencil in the hands of a writing God who is send a love letter to the world."

Love letters declaring our fascination for another or theirs for us not only inspires poetry and romance art or novels, it does much more. Love letters prompt the seeing and visualization of things hoped for but not yet fully realized that feel real in the fleeting and momentary now. Love letters give instruction to and produce the power of focus.

The great ones who have come before us taught us about the great powers of believing, having faith, dreaming big dreams, and imagining the experience we desire. Their primary point of view is that each of us must internally vision within ourselves the realization of our passions for accomplishment. Who or what gets our focused love letters?

Before we can realize our passions in the physical material world, we must fully be able to visualize the experience of them in our internal non – physical non – material world. We must be so inspired and so aroused by what we visualize that our hunger to hold on to the vision is like a ravenous instinct or biological imperative so much we can sense the possibility of nothing else.


How different might our lives be if by intention we declared to ourselves the purpose of our existence, what is important to us, and what we want  internally by visualizing it first and then dedicating and directing all our energies and resources to its accomplishment and materializing in the physical material world? How might that develop our perceptions of ourselves as we interact with world around us, it conditions, and other people. Who or what gets our focused love letters?

When we are unclear about ourselves and our motivations, we live constantly distracted by the many things that stimulate our senses. Limited capacity to focus and no love letters results. 
Teacher Louise Hay says, “You Can Heal You Life. Change your mind, change your life.” Rhonda Byrne’s, the Secret taught, ‘Direct your thoughts, direct your life.’ Both are inside jobs.


Every great belief system, philosophy, or invention began as thought. Internal thought energy laser focused manifests or generates tangible results, love letters The only remaining question to be resolved is what are our internal thoughts as individuals and collective humanity manifesting, causing to show up in our external physical world. Is it time to think again? Is it time to focus and love.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN ONE WOMAN IS PUSHED TOO FAR?

by Oscar Crawford

“And I looked and looked at her and knew as clearly as I know I am to die, that I loved her more than anything I had ever seen or imagined on Earth, or hoped for anywhere else.” ~Vladimir Nabokov, Lolita

No one gave thought to the coming of one woman who would deny and defy the gods and men. When the gods hunger for the women of Earth, is it any wonder that men sometimes lose their minds. Whether the Sons of God of the Book of the beginnings, the gods of the Greek Pantheon, or the mere mortal men of the white collar, the blue collar or no collar at all; the male predator obsession to take women as prey is as constant as the rising and setting of the sun.

Are the Nephilim Really the Offspring of the Sons of God and Earth Women? http://bit.ly/1MQ7uzh
The Book of the Beginnings, Chapter 6 verses 2 and 4 say, “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”

The Work of Wencelas Hollar  http://bit.ly/1NkOUNW
The story of the Greek God Apollo, the son of Zeus, born among the first of the Olympians, describes Apollo as the god of the Sun, of music, of truth and prophecy, healing, the light, plague, and poetry.  The gods picked among Earth women to their delight as if picking from a cluster of grapes. 

Mere mortal men of Earth lived as if the gods of the Earth. From their notions of superiority bestowed upon them by God and the god, from the eras before literacy, civilization, spirituality and justice; men assumed the privilege of the gods to do with women as they pleased. No one gave thought to the coming of one woman who would deny and defy the gods and men.

The ancient strategy of men like the gods has been the language of love to take women by force. The biggest, the most powerful, the strongest, the richest, or the smartest took the prizes among the beautiful women to make themselves look good and additionally many ordinary women to bear them hordes of children.

Genghis Khan http://bit.ly/1NkP6Nm
Temujin, an ancient Asian feudal lord left behind something more powerful than his sword. He lives as the primo genitor of more than half the population of the people of Asia, Russia, Eastern Europe and beyond. All bear his genetic markers. As Temujin conquered people and lands, he and his sons initiated the extension of their blood line through the women of the conquered. Temujin’s exalted title was Genghis Khan.

The Genghis Khan approach to controlling population growth with vested interest would become the strategy of ancient kings of the lands before the coming of Europe. These in the quest for power exercised the right of the first night. Every marriage taking place in their lands, kings took privilege to spend the first night with the new bride, growing the kingdoms one woman one child at a time.

From the prehistoric to the present, the gods or men have assumed power over women to do with them as they please. As the Book of the Beginnings described how the extra – terrestrial sons of God saw the beauty of Earth women and hungered to consume them, consume them they did with their off world sexual lust and desires. From these matings, hybrid half breed human ancestors were born. During these times, none considered the coming of one woman who would deny and defy the gods and men.

When Apollo, God of the Sun and Greek Pantheon, son of Zeus and Leta, set his sights on the acquisition of a human woman of the forest named Daphne, he discovered himself in a moment of disbelief. Stooping to the level of many power men who will go to any length to get what they want, Apollo goes slumming to satisfy his heavenly sexual impulse through the taking of an Earth woman. 

This is not unlike the slave owners influencing politics to declare African slaves in America less than human while using slave women for sex with impunity for more than half a millennia. From these forced matings, hybrid half breed human ancestors were born.

A John Water Work from 1908
As Apollo watched the freedom of Daphne enjoy her solitude in the forest, his notion of love and lusting sexual hunger for her grew until he could contain it no more. He came for her in the pageantry of a god visiting a peasant woman.

When they met for the first time, Apollo declared heaven had smiled on her and he was here to rescue her from her solitude. He had chosen her to be his woman, describing what a great deal she was getting and how lucky she was to be chosen. 

Daphne’s simple response was, “No, thank you.”

With response given, she left. Apollo pursued.

Taunted from the heavenly community, he heard the voices of power say, “We know know you are not going to let a little Earth bitch disrespect you like that.”

Angered, Apollo continues to pursue Daphne. When he finds her again he appeals to her logically saying, “You obviously don’t get it. I am a God who will have you. You do not get a choice to tell me no.”

“Is that the way it is where you live? You do not offer the gift of respect. You just come to take me whether I am interested or not. Do you actually believe you have the right to take what you want?” She asked.

With her words spoken, she takes flight through the forest. Apollo is enraged. No mortal defies a god. Who does she think she is?

Apollo chases Daphne. At the moment, he is assured he will capture her and force her into submission to take what he wants, stays just ahead of him. 

Inches from catching her, Daphne exercises her power to deny and defy a God leaving him alone to wallow in his tantrum. She leaps into the air and transforms into a tree.

The Moral of the Story: When women have been pushed too far, the narrative of boys will be boys; whether the Sons of God, Greek Gods or mortal men doing with women as they please, will end.

WHAT QUALIFIES US TO CREATE A FILM ON SEXUAL VIOLENCE?


Merriam - Webster's Online Dictionary offers these definitions for the word QUALIFY. It means to : to give (someone) the necessary skill or knowledge to do a particular job or activity, to have the necessary skill or knowledge to do a particular job or activity, to have the qualifications to do something, and or to pass an exam or complete a course of study that is required in order to do something.

Recently, I was asked what qualifies Bonnie and I to create a docudrama addressing men's sexual violence and assault of women from prehistory to the present. As many of you who read me on occasion know, I live for great questions. This time was no different. 

Bonnie and I taught our children when they were young, they could always tell us anything or ask us anything. They took us at our word and brought us many conversations that it made it necessary to keep our poker faces on.

We have had to maintain the same kind of face when women have told us horrendous stories of violence at the hands of their fathers, brothers, other members of their families, friends of their families, and others. Over the years, we have developed the ability to within five minutes of meeting a woman know whether or not, she has been a victim of sexual assault.

Women who experienced sexual assault as children, teens and adults sought us out to share their stories. We have never advertised our work, run an ad, or passed out a business card. Something about us and our work as licensed social workers in the State of Ohio, our work formally serving the church in offices and roles of ministry, and our expertise in the field of human relations seem to have placed an invisible marquee running around us that said, "It is safe to tell Oscar and Bonnie. They can help."

To that end we served thousands of women from every continent except Antarctica. It was first one on one either in person or by phone. Women shared with their friends and group work developed. The coming of the Internet made the international outreach possible.

One final note before credentials and degrees. We have never asked for or charged any woman a fee for service.

Bonnie earned an Associate Degree from the Columbus State Community College in Columbus, Ohio in Mental Health, Mental Retardation, and Chemical Dependency. She graduate magna cum laude with a perfect 4.0. Side Note: She convinced her faculty that I would prove to be an asset. I would serve Columbus State as Adjunct Faculty. 

She completed her Bachelor of Science in Social Work from Capital University, an historic Lutheran institution. Again, she graduated with academic honors and selected for the University Honor Society. She was awarded the License to Practice Social Work after successfully complete the state exam.

She pursued graduate studies in Chemical Dependency Counseling at the Methodist Theological School in Ohio in Delaware, Ohio.

After completing service in the United States Air Force, I earned a Bachelor of Arts from Kentucky State University, an HBCU in French with minors in Spanish and Sociology. Immediately following undergraduate school, I was ordained to ministry and served a mainstream church until I would return to graduate school.

Fifteen years after completing undergraduate, I earned a Master of Divinity from the Methodist theological School in Ohio in Delaware, Ohio. The emphases for study were pastoral service, counseling, and community service. Fifteen years later, I earned a Master of Science in Justice from the University of Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona.

As professionals with earned degrees and retired from primary vocations, there is work yet for us to do for which we are competent by education, experience, purpose and passion.

If further details should prove of interest or if you share our purpose and passion to make a difference in the lives or women, we invite you to communicate. Email us your questions, thoughts or comments to projectimalive@gmail.com.
