The Crystal Ship Review

Image
Since Frances uses the very poetic language of fairy tales and fables, it may be necessary to read this book more than once before the reader completely understands the narrative thread. So, for the sake of convenience, here is a chapter outline (omitting 10 and 11, which are largely rhetorical). 1. A child playing in a garden wanders among some oak trees, soon finding himself lost in the woods. He tries to hide behind a tree, but its branches open up like arms. The boy then witnesses a strange parade of men (or perhaps angels), leading a man dressed in rags whose rags burn him alive. 2. The reader learns the child is named Frederick , and that he'll be referred to in the narrative as Our Wise Man. He has been a handsome youth, but now he's growing older. Frederick sits in his parlor contemplating his relationship with the young man he mentors. He falls asleep and dreams about a courtroom with walls that appear to be made of a blue gas. Frederick sees a trial being ...

Some Answers From Oliver Frances (part 1)

Oliver Frances begins to write on his teens. His first short story was an epic one, inspired in chivalric romance books. As time went by, his themes are based on emotions, conveyed on Summer Love; and from the experience derived of his travels, and political and social issues being one background for all unfolding drama in the stories featured in Century’s Endings. Surprisingly, Oliver went on to romance publishing short stories that are part of the series of Heart & Souls, though. All the stories of Heart weren’t appreciated by the readers, despite having great editorial reviews from severe critics. The fact lingers of that Frances, as one reader writes, have written stories that differ so much from contemporary American literature. Hence, the reader loves or hates them, unfortunately there is no in between. Anyhow, this didn’t refrain Oliver from releasing Heart II. In his latest works, is evidenced a change about themes. Now, his stories convey drama but through spiritu...

The Size Of Your Dreams (article)

Image
In life, dreams are an engine that starts up an existence. These are the places where man deposits his hopes for tomorrow. It's always been said that dreams are just dreams with no action. Man needs more than action to make his dreams come true. The size of your dream is proportional to the mind with which it is dreamt. The mind is proportional to the conscience , which nourishes it. The conscience is the size of the man that contains and sustains it. Your dreams go into unconsciousness and turn into thoughts, and these create and change the will of the world. Thought is pure energy, which leaves your being and goes into the universe, where it expands. A creative idea comes through the mind, and then turns into words afterward. The vocabulary adds energy. In some cases, words turn into deeds─the manifestation of the thought into the physical plane . A man of mean and small dreams creates and sustains mean and small realities. A man with ambitions of power or delusions of gra...

Voyage To Light

Image
Dips into man’s soul and mind, showing that what each of us seeks actually is inside us. The collection of stories and essays takes readers on a trip that: * Presents life as irony through very common situations. * Shows our mettle in a world where man sometimes sails against the tides. * Dives into your own mind to show your capacity – often neglected – to see the world and circumstances in a very different perspective. * Attempts to figure out a mysterious, surprising and unknown event as fate . * Describes events and routines onto which an individual is hung, tracing the course of life that begins dull and stripped of the opportunity for spiritual grow.

Do You Believe In Luck? (article)

Do you believe in luck -I mean not in love? I pop up the question on the basis of that the majority of people have the belief of that a kind of magic, called "luck", that makes things happen exists. This is the reason for people don't frequently give the best of them because luck either would help them or not to pull it off. This belief strengths itself when a person analyses the case of two brothers -being under the same circumstances, one is successful meanwhile the other doesn't. So the reason that comes across our mind is the one about luck. One of them was lucky and the other wasn't. But if we don't take into account superstition , then we can approach the question with a different angle. If we have the belief of that anyone was born with a mission -and if this is engraved inside you, we begin to turn our back on the idea of luck. Your mission traces your karmic path which might be either a successful or fail one. Your spiritual level de...

Your Mission? (article)

Everyone has come to life with a mission -even the masters who walked through the earth. Which one is mine? Everyone wonders this during their life time, but it's shown on the course of existence. Anyone born has a divine plan engraved within their cells. Indeed, truth, the real one, is inside each one of us. So do not look outside, even if the hardships make your life difficult. You should remember that not even Jesus could avoid difficulties on his path to the light. In fact, he took them as proof of love, and thought of them as part of the relative world over which he was. Truth is sown in your soul . Most times, a person is either judged or a target for jealousy due to his success or failures. However, what you are not aware of is the real meaning of success or failure in the soul's terms. Every path that a person has to walk is a karmic one. Your level is determined by your karma . This is what you have to go through; on the contrary of the common thought that your pen...

Open-Mindedness: A World In A Grain Of Sand?

Image
“To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.” According to one of Paulo Coelho 's articles, the above lines, Auguries of Innocence by William Blake , might well define what it is called " new conscience ." It implies: being able to understand that everything is linked to one another, what is called " the time of your life " (when you wish that time stops at one particular moment) is part of your life, and if you do an introspective scan of yourself would notice that is only you who can change your own reality.  To the concepts of a "new conscience", open-mindedness, I will add this: "There is only one move in all creation and that move is THOUGHT." To see further than what your eyes can see and perceive and overwhelm fear –a product of your conscious mind, you need to have open-mindedness just to thrust your soul over circumstan...

Bitter Or Obedient –accepting the gold of your days? (article)

 A truth that might have been revealed to you is that the world has become a place where money has turned into a principle, and, another one is that society has erected false principles as guides to life. So man sets himself into a race to pursue these goals –which eventually brings him to individualism .  His concern about him leads to isolating himself from his neighbor, it turning him into a lonely soul . Unable to comprehend that wealth is not a real principle and that this shouldn't rule over him –but the other way around; he metamorphoses himself into a heartless flesh that goes through life as a hollowed being without a valuable thought. A person can lose sight of what this considers truly important in life  and of what would grant him true happiness . But, after water has passed under the bridge, man is aware of what is essential in life –the aim for which he has come here. Sadly people often only find it out at the end of life.  In most of the times,   ...
