Gay marriage approved by the New York State Senate…
This feels like it should be a shining moment but somehow… I have to ask, why is it that we must ask the permission of our government as to whom we may marry? Marriage is a sacred divine bond between souls. So why have we given its domain over to the government? I know… Because of insurance issues right? Yet another facet of our lives here in this 3-D game where we give our power away. First we are made to feel powerless in the situation then they wait, wait for our victim selves to clamor to be rescued by our benevolent big brother (the government) and Poof! One more area of our personal sovereignty vanishes by our own hand.
We are not powerless beings, we hold a power both collectively and individually that is so vast it is feared. Feared by the powers that seek to control us yes but also by ourselves, this must be truth otherwise why would we so willingly give up our freedoms, our sovereignty to a government that does not have our interests at heart? (NOTE: 7-8-11: Notice how I succumbed to my victim state here? Dropping my frequency into anger and powerlessness and polarity. It's too easy to fall back into the "Us against them" mentality that is purely illusion, don't worry I pull it around.) Why would we create this government in the first place? Oh yes! To hold our power for us!! That is it! We have created this hologram so we could project our power onto it and only give us little doses of it when we told it to, when we deemed we were ready. What is the cue the hologram responds to, to know we are ready? The love in your auras and the groundedness of your being. When you are able to ground the love and hold it in your field then and only then will you be able to retrieve bits of your power back. Fear will project it back into the hologram again.
So, it is a feedback system, I get it. It responds to us, it's creator. If we are in a fearful state(anger is included in this, as is worry), it steps in to "help" when we are grounded in love, it allows us our space and power. But we still create it, in every thought, in every action. If we were to all be existing in pure love and unity, it would evaporate, turn to mist. How does that feel in your body to imagine that? Our government and other agencies evaporating? Does it frighten you? Make you feel unprotected and vulnerable? This is an opportunity to heal that. You needed feel that emotion. Restoring your personal and spiritual sovereignty must be our priority. Remember who you are. Remember who you are. Remember who you are. Remember.

Lyrics for "I Surrender"
Sorry this took so long!! Enjoy. Now is the perfect moment to surrender.
Surrendering our 3-D egos to our Divine will.
Our human egos/will keep us in fear. It is designed to keep us alive so it is always in fight or flight. While this may keep us "alive" it is only in the most basic of ways. How alive do we wish to be? Just surviving with our adrenals on overload, stress hormones pulsing through our bodies, poisoning our blood, darkening our aura. Do you want to live the small one-dimensional life offered by the frail and scared human ego or the huge multidimensional, beautifully textured and magickal life available when we surrender to our Divine will and align with our Lightbodies?
Personally, I surrender.
I surrender my fear and doubt. I surrender my fear that I am not enough, that I am too fat, too smart and too aware.
I surrender the fear of beauty, of anger and pain, I surrender my fear of the darkness and my judge, my disdain.
I surrender the fear of ascension, the fear of All that is, I surrender the fear of loneliness, heartbreak and sin.
I surrender my fear that I don't know enough that my thighs are too thick and my unwillingness to trust.
I surrender my fear that I don't know how to love, can't open to receive or give healing touch.
I surrender my fear of living in Light, of walking alone, of standing in height.
I surrender my fear of my infinite power, of magick and fire and flight. I surrender my fear of the burning of confusion of death and of flight.
I surrender my fear of my beating heart it's fragility, tenderness and power. I surrender my fear of the brain that thinks and of the clock that ticks off each hour.
I surrender my fear of the pain in this life, of torture, murder and rape. I surrender my fear of the deepest love that obliviates separation and space.
I surrender my fear of losing myself, swallowed up by the will of the One. I surrender my fear of feeling the bliss that comes when merged and undone.
I surrender my fear of being wrong, bad or stupid. I surrender my fear of poorly chosen words that sting and bite and taste putrid.
I surrender my fear that this is all there is, that we are alone and have nothing to give.
I surrender my fear of conditioning of programming and control. I surrender my fear that I am greater than all of the beings foretold.
I surrender my fear that I am the one, that is I,I am counting on. I surrender my fear that I won't follow through that fear has already won.
I surrender my fear of not being believed, of losing respect and not being seen.
I surrender my fear of needing to much of wanting it all and choking the clutch.
I surrender my fear of not being right of thinking too much, of losing my sight.
I surrender my fear that my anger's too strong, my trust is all gone and faith is forlorn.
I surrender my fear of catastrophic events, of dark musty closets and clowns in big tents.
I surrender my fear of sexual bliss, of Divine sacred union and tantric eclipse
I surrender my fear of extraordinary pleasure, of giddy reunion and reckless endeavor.
I surrender my fear of taking the leap, of stepping out first and waking from sleep.
I surrender my fear of not being clever, of saying too much or not saying it better.
I surrender my fear that none of its real, the faeries, the beings, the ET's, the whole deal.
I surrender my fear that the Bible is true, that I'm going to hell and that you're going, too.
I surrender my fear that we're all unprotected and vulnerable and frail and can't be defended.
I surrender my fear that my ego is correct, that I'm crazy, delusional, wacky and highly suspect.
I surrender my fear of fear itself that loves not enough and that the light's been squelched.
I surrender to love as it acts as my compass, guiding me home and giving me purpose. Aligned with Divine will, my destiny's clear, the mission's on schedule and the Light is my mirror.

The Divine Gift of Eclipse and Solstice
June 15, 2011, 3 AM
We've been living for the past 2000 years in the age of Pisces. The lesson of the Piscean Age is "Presence." This can mean many things but it can be best summed up this way. The Piscean Age began with Christ and in His life and death we began this lesson of presence. For this is what he showed us; he was present in the darkest moments, the deepest suffering. Beaten, tortured, and nailed to the cross he was present. Did he hate? Did he judge? Does he condemn? No. He loved, he forgave, he was present in each and every moment, for both the Light and the Darkness. I am both human and God.
For the 2000 years that have followed we have been learning this lesson of presence. Can we live in bodies that make us feel vulnerable? Can we live in a dangerous world? Can we live with extreme sadness and suffering and loss?
These 2000 years have held much darkness and destruction, both in our world and within ourselves (they are, after all, a reflection of each other).
We are now poised to enter the Age of Aquarius (cue the music) the age of love and unity consciousness. We're meeting on the bridge but have we learned enough to cross? Will the draw drop for us as we wait in the stillness…
The stillness asks "can you hold both?"
Can you hold both your darkness and your light? Can you be present for destruction as well as creation? Can you hold both? We have been swirling around in this polar 3-D world, dancing between light and dark, good and bad… Always pulling and swirling around like a hurricane, the two opposites dancing yet rarely meeting. Within the hurricane lies the eye of the storm. Within the eye there is stillness, peace and calm. In stillness lies all potential; creation. In stillness, the two poles can come together, meet… Unite. Can you hold both? Can you apply this idea to your life? We all have aspects of ourselves that we love and those that we hold in shadow (the two dancers). What can they learn from one another? How would each benefit from merging with the other?
With the series of eclipses and the Summer Solstice sandwiched in between we are being asked to step into the stillness and hold both.
Eclipses represent a moment of timelessness where we (the earth) block the sun's rays(illumination/Light) from reaching the moon which represents our unconscious(dark/shadow). This creates a moment where we are completely alone with our shadow. All the light is gone; the sun is blocked, for 100 min. we are in eclipse. Can we be present with all of our parts that we have held in shadow? The fear, the suffering, the rage, the destruction.
This eclipse on June 15 will line up with Galactic Center and will enter totality (fullest eclipse) at 20:12 universal time. Galactic Center is a black hole in the center of our galaxy, it is said to be the sun of our sun. It emits massive levels of infrared energy. This has the potential to open up our subconscious mind asking us to release old patterns and traumas. It also clears our root chakra, releasing the old ways of being, allowing us to regenerate and begin anew. Galactic center has also been called the cradle of Divinity or center of creation where the universe was born, you may think of that as God/ess.
What this means is that we have a series of incredible opportunities here to open, clear and receive. To reconnect and remember who we are and why we are here. The eclipses offer us the timelessness to still, then the alignment with Galactic center/God/ess is able to ground through us (the rainbow bridge) into Earth, clearing us, connecting us, healing both the earth and us.
Solstices are also profound opportunities to enter the void of stillness where all potential is born. To step into the stillness and realign, to be fully present with all of our parts, to merge our shadow with our light and say:
"Yes. This is who I am. I love myself, I forgive myself; I am human and I am God."
To be fully present, holding both. It is then the draw will drop and allow us to cross into unity, the Oneness.
The summer solstice is the time for letting go so that something new can grow. Again, another opportunity to release old habits and patterns and ways of thinking that no longer serve us or the world. The elemental of the Summer Solstice is fire, we let go into the fire to allow the phoenix to rise. We step into the flames and whenever is left, is us.
Can we be fully present with those aspects of ourselves that were discovered during the eclipse(s) and walk with them into the heart of stillness offered by the Summer Solstice, bringing them to the Light, stepping into the void holding them both and allowing them to merge and become one?
This is how we walk into unity. This is Ascension. This is our moment to embody Christ Consciousness, to look into our darkness, bring it into the Light and love it, all of it.
I am human, I am God, I hold both.
The Piscean age began with Christ modeling for us the lesson. Now, 2000 years later we have the opportunity to "take the test" to step into the void and be fully present with the totality of ourSelves.
We are the Oneness. We are Love. We are God.
- The Healing Vortex
Lunar Eclipse
This lunar eclipse on the 15th asks us what did we start 18 years ago in 1992 that is in need of completion? I began my healing Path in 1992 in therapy and deciding to return to college to study physical therapy. Which then led to massage therapy and energy work and then biodynamic craniosacral therapy. All of it has been a path for healing and re-integrating and re-membering myself. That's what life is all about is it not? And education is a part of life… We are expected in our 3-D society to go to college, pick a major, get the degree, then get a job doing that. But isn't the real point the process? What we discover about ourselves and our world and our place in this world, isn't that what's important? I mean, if you erase our dysfunctional economic system–or better the dysfunctional management of our economic system, eliminating the need for money and thus "work", what would the point be? For this life and everything we do with it and in it? What would the point be if it was no longer to work to make money so we can buy stuff. What would the point be? Do you even know? We have lost our most primal connection to ourselves and our purpose (the point) in this 3-D game. The veil has been so thick, so heavy for so long but now it is light, translucent you can, if you choose to, see through it. So can you tell me now, what is the point? I am not saying this from a place of hopelessness or judgment were I feel there is no point, not at all. I am saying this so you must answer this question for yourself and only for yourself. No canned answers please "to love” is too vague. "To learn", too vague. Love what, whom? Learn what and for what purpose? What is the point? Remember why you are here, why you chose to play this game. The time is upon us to reconsider who we are and what we believe and what we believe in. Do our thoughts and beliefs support unity consciousness, the marriage between the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine? Or do they foster fear and separation and struggle? Honestly! This is not a time for lying to ourselves in order to look good. That time has passed. That game is over, done. It is time to take that step. The step through the veil moving from what was toward what is.
With this lunar eclipse lining up with the Galactic center be ready to step into the portal, open the vortex and receive. Prepare yourself, because when the download comes through the Light will illuminate the dark corners that we have kept hidden away. Can you say meltdown? I'm not trying to scare you, simply prepare you for some tumultuous inner landscapes. The Light is coming to clean house, perhaps you'd like to do a little organizing and personal inventory before It arrives… Not so you look better but so you are better prepared to resource yourself when it happens. This is such an amazing opportunity for us, it really is. I mean, I spent how many years in therapy and this cosmic influx could clear it out in a matter of… hours/days/weeks? Well, the therapy was my way of pre-cleaning organization. I can feel it coming. The weight on my heart is thick and trembly.
It's time! It's time! It's time! There is an excitement brewing deep inside, like the most anticipated event ever is drawing near. I've been seeing flashes of light in the sky for the last couple of days, many of them; five or six on Saturday alone.
Tonight, Sofia was lying on top of me in bed before going to sleep, she sat up and said "it's almost complete Mommy, all you have left is the blue, indigo and violet and you will have your rainbow heart!” I smiled and asked "what do I need to do?” " Love, just love with all your heart, all the time just love and only be bossy a little bit.” I laughed. "So, how is it your heart is a rainbow, you are always bossy.” She rolled her eyes,"Mommy, I have always had a rainbow heart.” I said "and you chose not to forget or lose it?” "You can never lose it Mommy, once you have your rainbow heart, you can never lose it.” "Unless you choose to give it away?” I asked. "No. Not even then.” "So what happened with Daddy's and mine? Weren't we born with rainbow hearts?” "No. The faeries decided that you needed to learn how to get your rainbow hearts.” "Ahh, I see…”
This morning as I was waking up I dreamt I was in the basement cleaning up boxes. Sofia came down and asked if she could do it, too. I jokingly asked her "if I jumped off a cliff would you jump, too?” "Of course Mommy and I would support both of us.” I woke up in tears. My little Angel Crystal baby.
We must be fully grounded in order to receive this energy otherwise it has the potential to short out our circuits. Waves of energy will course through us from our Higher Selves, illuminating our path allowing us the opportunity to choose to step fully onto our path or stay in the shadows. We cannot grow up and out without a full reckoning of our "past"-- our foundation-- our "roots." This means looking at and taking responsibility for what we have created both individually and collectively.
Are you grounded and connected into the Divine Feminine so that when the Divine Masculine calls, they can merge within you?
I just saw the floor move like it was made of water…
Do not be afraid of who you are. The moon goes into "totality", the fullest portion of eclipse, at 20:12 UTC. Does anyone else find this time interesting? Everyone is so focused on 2012 the year… Perhaps it was misunderstood, that it was a "time" not a "year" and the moment is now. Something to ponder.
If you read some astrologers this eclipse brings the harbinger of death. It is easy to assume that this means some fulfillment of end time prophecies. But what if the "death" that occurs is to our belief systems and philosophies that no longer work, to the parts of our collective consciousness that no longer work or serve the greater good.
Death to a separatist way of life giving birth to the Phoenix of Unity.
The energy of the Divine Masculine penetrating through us, the rainbow bridge, to the receptive and fertile Mother impregnating the Divine Feminine who then gives birth through our hearts to love and unity, heaven on earth… Joy.
What are you resisting? What are you afraid to look at or see? Who is the person you see in the mirror that you no longer recognize?
The world's not going to end just the world as we know it… As we have always perceived it.
Embrace the shifts that are coming. Open your hearts to the divine energies flowing into you and surrender. We all stand at the precipice of a great new Dawn. We have only to release what no longer works to prepare fertile ground for this new beginning to take root.
On June 15, Wednesday at 20:12 universal time, do not stand in fear make the choice for love.
Ask yourself: "What is the point?" And then remember.

I - Magi- Nation
I hear a lot of people proclaim "I'm just not creative." I nod my head as if I understand this statement but really, I don't. I assume they mean that they cannot draw or paint or make music, as these are the most common venues associated with creativity. It is the box we place around creation in order to limit and define. The notion is that you have to be an artist to be creative. Inside my mind I am thinking, "well, they are alive, how is it that they are not creative?" Descartes had it right when he said "I think, therefore I am." In philosophy class, most everyone believed that Descartes meant that his ability to reason gave life meaning and purpose. I don't necessarily agree with that. While reason can be helpful it in no way can compete with the powerful force that is imagination. Thinking as well as imagining are constructs of the mind and really are one in the same. We have a tendency to downplay the imagination as mere fantasy but in reality it is the most powerful tool of our mind. In Angelish, John Sacelli redefines imagination to be "I- Magi- Nation". A mage (magi) is a magician, one who wields the powerful creation force of the universe. Within our minds, we are the Mage. We create with every thought. We are a nation/world of magicians creating life with each and every thought. There is nothing more creative than that. Look at what we have created. This world is a beautiful place filled with beautiful people, each and every one. Every day we love one another, care for one another and tend lovingly to our planet. We live in peace and allow others to live in peace. Every one is fed and has their needs met. What powerful beings we are to have created that. Feel the power and love of your creation. Now allow that to radiate out into the world around you, see the ripples of sweetness as they cascade through the air touching everything in it's wake enveloping it in Love and Light. Can you hear the trees sigh in blissful content? The birds singing just for you. Feel the Earth, our beloved Gaia, shudder in ecstasy as she experiences the beauty of your creation.
Each of us has within us the spark of divinity. Some wear it large and luminous and others locked away like a genii in a bottle just waiting for that magickal moment when awareness, want or need breaks the spell and sets it free. That spark tickles at the corners of your mind, dances in your heart. Always always singing it's song, sparkling like a thousand stars through the mist. Whispers like velvet kisses brush through your hair, gently caressing your inner longing. Come home to me my One. Here is peace, here is sweetness, here is love.

Everyone is Your Mirror
Each of us has a diamond. It is our life, the life we have chosen to live in this 3D world. It is a reality of polarities encompassing all realities, all possibilities, all experience. It is a game where we go to learn about who we are, who we truly are…
When he woke up the day was dark. Raining again. Why does it always have to rain when I have an interview. He thought. I really need this job, it will be the job that gets me out of this hell hole, the job that sets me on the path to being rich. I'll finally be able to get ahead and have all the things that I want. I'll be able to get out of debt and all the phone calls will stop. I'll be free and happy! He thought. But of course, it has to rain. I'll walk through the rain and look like a drowned rat when I get to my interview and they will see what a mess I am and won't give me a chance. He sighed as he pulled himself from his bed. "Why even bother" he muttered already defeated. This is how it always happens, I never get what I want, he thought as he showered and dressed. "Well, I at least have to try" he said firmly. He had after all beat out all the other applicants and now it was down to two. Not that it will do any good the voice responded from inside his head. He sighed deeply. He arrived at the building early, the other man was there already, be began sizing up his competition. He'll probably get it he groaned to himself, look at him, perfectly put together, he doesn't even look like he needs this job, his parents probably have money, they probably already bought this job for him and the interview is only a formality. His aura grew darker and darker with his musings and as he sat his anger grew as well. Why is it that the people who already have money get the best jobs and they don't even need the job, everything is already stacked in their favor, they get everything and the rest of us get nothing, we are left to struggle and fend for ourselves and are expected to grovel to them gleefully accepting whatever pittance they toss down to us. His anger fueled his powerlessness. I hate them, I hate them all . Why is the world like this? It's not fair. I work hard, I'm honest, and I can't pay my bills and I live in a hole. They don't work hard, they steal and lie and cheat and have EVERYTHING. They are rich, have beautiful houses, cars, clothes, women, they have it all and the rest of us have nothing. What kind of God would allow this inequality? This injustice? This is bullshit. He seethed in his angst while continuing to wait…glaring at the other candidate that he was certain already had the job.
I hate this he thought to himself. I hate having to lower myself to this ridiculous game. Father called the CEO last week, why do I have to sit here and "compete" with this, this person? How am I supposed to pretend that I am one of them? He shuddered in disgust. I don't even know why I have to take this job, it's beneath me. I have more money than the CEO of this company and I have to go and work for him? For what? For experience? Experience of what, being a lowly minion, a nobody? One of the herd? Please. Well, Father said it was only one year, if I worked here for one year he would release my trust and I can do whatever I want. Ahhh, whatever I want. I'm buying that yacht and 5 of the most beautiful women I can find, hell make that 10 and sailing to the Caribbean and never coming back. Who needs this? He laughed to himself. Look at him, I can smell his desperation, his fear. Pathetic. I can just hear him…Oh, why can't I ever get what I want, I'm such a victim. Whine, whine, whine. Oh, I'm so unlucky, nothing ever goes my way. His sardonic laugh escaped his mouth, all eyes turn toward him. Whatever, he thought. I don't care what any of them thinks, tomorrow, I will not only have the job he desperately wants and needs but I will be on my way to having a life that he can only dream of. Life is GREAT. Thank God I was born who I am, not like him. They are the problem in our society, he thought. They are lazy and weak-minded and muddle around looking for a free ride or for someone to save them from their misfortune. They come here groveling for a job, like any CEO in his right mind would hire someone like that. True, in this case the deck is stacked against him…ha ha but really all you need is confidence. You need to know that you are the best for the job and march in there and take it. It's as simple as that. But they'll never get that, they are too busy wallowing in self pity oh poor me he mimicked coldly. While staring at his "competition."
As the two men sat facing one another a strange mist descended upon the room. The men did not notice as they were both busy stewing in their anger and hatred of the other. The room expanded, a diamond came into view. A huge glowing diamond as big as the Earth. Within it sat the two men one at each side of the diamond directly opposite the other, each in his own facet.
Suddenly, the men erupted in a blaze of righteous indignation, fingers pointing at the other "you are what makes this world a bad place!!!" They yelled out at each other. Their fingers, extended in accusation met a resistance. It is a mirror, each man looks into the mirror where his finger is touching, the mirror begins to quiver. Their eyes simultaneously rise from their fingers to the face staring back at them, together they gasp. "You are the reason there is so much darkness and evil in the world, you are the problem. I hate you!!" They yelled. "If everyone was more like me, the world would be a better place!!" They yelled again at the same time. The mirror wavered more. "Why don't you just go away!" They each slammed their hands against the mirror, attempting to push it away, it shook intensely as their hands met, palm to palm. There was an intense heat between them and the air around them crackled. The room began to spin like a vortex of energy swirling around them faster and faster. The two men tried to turn and run away but they could not move. Connected palm to palm they stood eyes wide, staring at the other, the one they hated, the one they blamed. The room spun faster now creating a column of light. Like a funnel coming down from a cloud, it descended between them, drawing them into its spiraling energy. As they spun, vision began to blur but they held firm "I am the Light in this world and you are the Darkness." over and over they yelled their belief as the vortex drew them in. Spinning furiously now in the vortex in the center of the diamond, they screamed then there was a snap. They were floating in stillness. Once again they looked into the eyes of the other, this time they saw SELF. Tears welled from the depths of their hearts as they recognized themselves in the other. Where once they saw Darkness now they saw Light and where once they saw Light, they now saw Darkness. "I was always so afraid that I would become you…" they whispered. "I see now that I always have been…" they each stepped forward toward the other and into the vortex of Light. "I can feel now how you have struggled" they said. The vortex began to spin again each man seeing and feeling the other in himself, reweaving the torn matrix between them . As the vortex slowed once again to stillness, the men, now one hovered atop their diamond, lovingly watching their other selves playing out the polarity game, struggling. They felt washed with an understanding and compassion they vowed to remember, remember it all. The diamond suddenly shuddered and they were back in the waiting room sitting across from one another. Their eyes darted to the other, uncertainty racing through their hearts. Their eyes met with a deep recognition "Hi, I'm Thomas" he reached out his hand "Hi, I'm Joe." "Hi, Joseph. I've always wanted to start my own business, not work for someone else, what about you?" "Yeah" he nodded. "I've always wanted that, too" Joe replied "Come on, this job is beneath us, let's go and get some coffee."
Do we have the courage to look into the mirror? This is our challenge for without looking we cannot see the wholeness, the beauty in life. We cannot embody all that we truly are, we cannot see the wisdom that the other holds for us shrouded in the mist of shadow. What potential have we collectively tucked away. What treasure is waiting to be found? We hold it all within us, in the NOW. We have but to look into the mirror, into ourSelves to find it and bring it home. See the Light in the Dark and the Dark in the Light, they are ONE playing this game of polarities. Bring them together into your heart. Remember.

When he woke up the day was dark. Raining again. Why does it always have to rain when I have an interview. He thought. I really need this job, it will be the job that gets me out of this hell hole, the job that sets me on the path to being rich. I'll finally be able to get ahead and have all the things that I want. I'll be able to get out of debt and all the phone calls will stop. I'll be free and happy! He thought. But of course, it has to rain. I'll walk through the rain and look like a drowned rat when I get to my interview and they will see what a mess I am and won't give me a chance. He sighed as he pulled himself from his bed. "Why even bother" he muttered already defeated. This is how it always happens, I never get what I want, he thought as he showered and dressed. "Well, I at least have to try" he said firmly. He had after all beat out all the other applicants and now it was down to two. Not that it will do any good the voice responded from inside his head. He sighed deeply. He arrived at the building early, the other man was there already, be began sizing up his competition. He'll probably get it he groaned to himself, look at him, perfectly put together, he doesn't even look like he needs this job, his parents probably have money, they probably already bought this job for him and the interview is only a formality. His aura grew darker and darker with his musings and as he sat his anger grew as well. Why is it that the people who already have money get the best jobs and they don't even need the job, everything is already stacked in their favor, they get everything and the rest of us get nothing, we are left to struggle and fend for ourselves and are expected to grovel to them gleefully accepting whatever pittance they toss down to us. His anger fueled his powerlessness. I hate them, I hate them all . Why is the world like this? It's not fair. I work hard, I'm honest, and I can't pay my bills and I live in a hole. They don't work hard, they steal and lie and cheat and have EVERYTHING. They are rich, have beautiful houses, cars, clothes, women, they have it all and the rest of us have nothing. What kind of God would allow this inequality? This injustice? This is bullshit. He seethed in his angst while continuing to wait…glaring at the other candidate that he was certain already had the job.
I hate this he thought to himself. I hate having to lower myself to this ridiculous game. Father called the CEO last week, why do I have to sit here and "compete" with this, this person? How am I supposed to pretend that I am one of them? He shuddered in disgust. I don't even know why I have to take this job, it's beneath me. I have more money than the CEO of this company and I have to go and work for him? For what? For experience? Experience of what, being a lowly minion, a nobody? One of the herd? Please. Well, Father said it was only one year, if I worked here for one year he would release my trust and I can do whatever I want. Ahhh, whatever I want.
