How does a Man Love?
By Cheryl F. Batoon
How does a Man Love?
A Man loves with all of his Heart
A Man feels the intensity of the Heart
A Man has been taught to fight his intuition;
Therefore, a Man focuses on his instincts instead
A Man loves with his mind first
Because he was told that was the only way
A Man is focused on the physical world
Because he was told it was all that existed
However, A Man knows
That the physical world is just an illusion
A Man knows that the Heart is the conclusion
A Man loves with his entire being
A Man knows what this means
A Man focuses on sensations
Because he is attached to the physical;
A Man understands True Love
A Man gravitates to True Love;
However, A Man is reminded to follow his Mate
A Man is pulled down by this weight
A Man struggles with what he was taught and now sees
A Man is healing from all the hurts and wounds
A Man is releasing all he was taught about love or the lack of
A Man, once healed, seeks Balance
A Man always knew of Balance, he just forgot
A Man knows love and once experienced with a Mate
He is vulnerable and he knows it
Once A Man submits to love, his Heart is wide open
A Man loves deeply because he knows it
A Man loves with all his being
A Man knows no other way to BE…

How does a Woman Love?
By Cheryl F. Batoon
How does a Woman Love?
A Woman loves with each breath she takes
A Woman gives of her love abundantly
A Woman loves as a nurturing being
A Woman knows what is always in her best interest
A Woman expresses through her intuition
A Woman’s Heart is always open;
However it is a Woman’s Mind that may be closed
A Woman’s focus is on attainment
Of the goals she has had in her heart since she was a child
A Woman faces tremendous healing
From past life hurts and wounds
A Woman understands Balance
Because a Woman’s body was made in Balance
A Woman forgets Balance
When she is reminded she is a Woman
A Woman knows True Love
A Woman recognizes True Love
Once she remembers Balance
When a Woman is told of her weaknesses as a woman
She forgets Balance
A woman loves with all she is
A Woman values her loved ones
A Woman loves her Mate intensely
A Woman creates the Mate for her
A Woman always knows what is best for her
If she can just remember
A Woman gives of her heart to her Mate
A Woman submits to her Mate
A Woman submits her Heart first
A Woman’s Mind and Body follow close suit
A Woman loves with all her Being
A Woman knows no other way to BE…

March 2nd, 2010
Today, I felt inspired to write about Unconditional Love and the Choices that we make in our relationships. Have you ever made a decision and later regretted it with the hopes of retracting what you said or did? Why did you make the decision in the first place? What was your driver? Was it your ego/mind or your heart? This is very important because seldom is a decision or choice ever made from the heart that one regrets later.
When we speak of unconditional love, we are speaking of a love that has no conditions whether this love is for a person, place, or thing (such as our passions). Your choice to love was decided long ago so why are you now placing conditions on that love? The primary reason is the ego/mind. The ego/mind dictates to us that we are feeling a sense of lack or need. We feel as if we are not being given what we feel we lack or need. This is the bottom line and the biggest reason for regrets in relationships.
Why do we choose to go the path of the ego/mind when we have known that this path has never served us? Why do we repeat the same patterns expecting a different outcome? When we release the need to dictate conditions and when we stop looking at only what we feel and think about a situation or relationship, only then are we able to see clearly and to understand that our decisions and choices are here to be made with unconditional love. If we choose any other route, we will find that we have regrets.
I have received responses to this thought from those who believe that when you follow the heart, you are destined for pain and suffering. The reason we would believe this to be the case is because we associate the heart with pain and suffering. It is not the heart that causes suffering and pain; it is the ego/mind. It is the ego/mind that requires healing, not the heart.
The heart is resilient, the heart is courageous, the heart always “knows” because the heart is your soul. Your soul always knows ALL, but it is your ego/mind that questions. An open heart is one that will overcome all negativity. An open heart is able to see clearly. An open heart is filled with love for self first and foremost and with that, the open heart doesn’t need to reach for the ego/mind to justify its existence.
Unconditional love is a challenge for many because we have been taught to believe that if one doesn’t react the way we would prefer or doesn’t take the actions that we expect, we are to withdraw our love from them. Why is this? This is because one is focused on the ego/mind and one is choosing not to express their authentic self. When we make a decision that brings sorrow and pain to us, haven’t we made a choice that is contrary to our authentic selves? Our authentic selves thrive on joy and happiness, unconditional love and compassion. Our authentic selves suffer when we make choices contrary to our heart as well.
Have you ever ended a relationship because of your ego? Have you ever walked out of a situation because of your ego? Have you ever suffered in your relationships because of your ego? Are you even aware that it is your ego that is the leader in any event that breeds negativity, contentiousness, and animosity?
The ego/mind has its place in our existence because with our ego/mind, we take actions required to achieve our passions. The ego/mind is instrumental in reaching our zenith because without the ego/mind, we might not get dressed every day. The ego/mind keeps you moving and focused on your goals; however, the ego/mind can also cause crises and issues with your goals. It is truly a balance of the ego/mind and heart that creates abundance in our lives.
Our ego/mind is where thoughts are born. When we heal ourselves of the limitations of ego and allow our mind and heart to be engaged in a balanced alignment of energy, we have reached the space and place where our choices are made with unconditional love.
Walk your life path by focusing on making choices centered in the balanced arena of the heart and the ego/mind…always with unconditional love…

Crystal Clear Clarity
By Cheryl F. Batoon
As I ride the waves of the sea
I remember those foggy days…
When I felt as if I was drowning in the murky waters
I couldn’t swim fast enough
The shore was always out of reach
I never felt good enough or complete…
As my spirit renewed its energy
As I experienced life based on my writings
I realized the script was written long ago
I realized that life is an illusion…
I knew it all along,
But it was easier to be deluded…
As time begins to speed up
As it reaches its climax
I have finally found my sword of lineation…
I rediscovered my passions;
I know what makes me feel happiest
I am triumphant in my wisdom now
I am a seeker of passion
I am a lover of life
I see with crystal clear clarity
I have traveled many lives
I have sought many experiences
Yet each time I return to where I began
To return to whom I AM
We are truly the I AM
Reaching for the stars with crystal clear clarity
As you advance your passions
As you are expressing your authenticity
You will see the world glowing with love
As you release the past that no longer serves,
As you seal the wounds once and for all
A bright shining new day illuminates
As you open your heart and your eyes
When you allow yourself to be free
All the beauty of life will enfold itself upon you
When the seasons change
When time no longer feels the same
You will remember this moment with crystal clear clarity…

I AM A Spiritual Warrior
By Cheryl F. Batoon
Today I felt inspired to write about who I AM. I AM A Spiritual Warrior. What does this mean exactly? This means that I am a Champion for the Truth and a Warrior for Spiritual Freedom. For me, to be a Spiritual Warrior means that I stand up for who I AM. I AM Love, I AM Peace, I AM Truth, I AM a Child of God, the Universe, and I AM here to stand up for the Truth, what is for the greater good of me and for everyone. That is what it means to me to be a Spiritual Warrior.
I believe that War is never ever necessary and yet you may wonder why I would call myself a Warrior which means to be one at and/or of War. I am not talking about War that causes harm to another soul, creature, and/or being. I am talking about the Spiritual Warfare that is going on within. This is the struggle that we have and are going through to rediscover our Authentic Selves. When you are at your best, you are your Authentic Self. Be a Warrior for the Freedom of Self and others, the Freedom of Love and Compassion, and to give and receive Love in ALL things. Finally, remember that you are Champions of the Truth.
Give, Serve, and Share your Truth always. Live by your Truth as if you are transparent to all around you and to everyone who sees you. With that, demand the Truth be given, served, and shared with YOU. YOU are deserving of the Truth in all things.
I ask each and every one of you to stay strong my Brothers and Sisters, stay strong. These are my thoughts and what I believe:
“We are destined for beauty and love, to live Heaven on Earth. We are to be balanced, both within and without, in ALL things. Even when we are giving or appear to be giving more of something in that moment, know that universal law always brings something back to you. It may be something small and maybe something you might overlook if you aren’t paying attention, but know that the Universe is balanced and what you put out will come back somehow, someway. There is no Karma, it is just quite simply Balance…”
“Remember that Love is a seed that has always lived within you. No one can ever take that away because no one has the power to take your love from your heart, it permanently resides there; freely given and freely received. With this wisdom, you know you are loved and you are love; therefore, release the need to struggle with this and surrender the pains, the wounds that have never served you. Let them heal once and for all. Release what no longer serves you and move forward as Champions of the Truth and Warrior for the Freedom of Self. You don’t need anything external to you that does not reside within you.”
“Truth Seekers and Speakers, our time is coming when the Truth shall open doors, windows will rise up before you, the human race will be more enlightened, and a collective consciousness will stand up to meet all with the glistening, glowing light of the Truth. The time for the Truth is upon us. We have little time left to ponder this for it is already here. The time now is to bring your Truth into every interaction with compassion and love for self and others always. This means to be your Authentic Self and know that you are a Warrior…you will always stand up for your Truth. A Spiritual Warrior stands up for the Truth, but always with compassion and unconditional love. Any other option will lead to difficulties and more struggles. Focus on the Truth, be diplomatic, be direct, be persistent, and know, live, and love your Truth always…You are the Champion of Truth and you are a Spiritual Warrior…”
Sending you all an abundance of love and blessings as you follow your life purpose and walk your path…be a Spiritual Warrior who has conquered negativity and remembered who you always were, a beautiful spirit who is loved and loves. You are who you always were, your Authentic Self. Don’t give up for paradise awaits us in this beautiful Universe created by God, our Higher Source, whatever that means to you personally…our true Heaven on Earth is here now, it is just a matter of seeing it…Peace & Love…

The Journey of Passionate Love
By Cheryl F. Batoon
Today is a day where love just seems to shine its beacon of light wherever I look. As I look down, I see love in the ground, in nature, and even in my slippers. Yes my slippers. They have taken me through days of comfort and have given me love over and over again…my feet are warm, comfortable, and I do feel loved!
Look to the right and you see your partner, your children, and your family members. To the left, you see your friends, your co-workers, and all those folks that have been there for you even though they are not related by blood. This is your Soul Family.
Behind you, you see those that you have said good-bye to for whatever reason, thru a mutual decision, thru no decision of yours at all, thru death, or whatever means that led to them no longer being in your life.
In front of you is your journey of passionate love. This road is the path that both you and God had discussed and agreed upon before you set foot on Earth. This is your life purpose, your passion; this is your journey of passionate love.
Finally, we look up and we see the beautiful infinite sky. This is where True Love was born! Keep your head to the sky, keep your arms outstretched to embrace those to the left and right, keep your feet grounded so that you are able to receive these beautiful blessings, and remember to no longer look back for those you have left behind were not a part of God’s Journey of life for you. Their moments were fleeting, their moments were lessons, their moments were of love, their moments will be missed, but their moments are over in this lifetime…send them all your blessings and love, but no longer look back.
Get those beautifully loved feet back to moving to the rhythm of the heart and to the percussion of God’s ever loving beat…as God shines the beacon of light to show you the way…love is here now and more is awaiting you on that path. Are you ready???!!!
Much blessings and love to you as you live your life strolling down “The Journey of Passionate Love”.

HUMANHOOD
By Cheryl F. Batoon
My Brothers and Sisters, we have discussed what it is to be in Brotherhood and Sisterhood, but I had a friend ask me what about “Humanhood”? Yes, what about Humanhood? Is this really a word? If not, it should be a part of our vocabulary because we are truly Humans living in our Hood of our own making. We are bonded as Humans, not just as Brothers and Sisters.
To be in a state of Humanhood is to live in camaraderie, to live in faith, to live with a knowing that we are all connected. It may be difficult to accept at times because there are those souls that we just do not feel camaraderie with no matter how much we try. Even in those instances, remember the kindness that resides within, remember the unconditional love. This means you have no conditions; however, not everyone is going to believe in you and support you nor do they want you to support them because we may not be of the same soul family in that moment in time. That is OK because the goal here isn’t for everyone to see the exact same things or to even believe in the same Truths. It doesn’t matter how we believe or our Truth because all that matters is LOVE…
Brotherhood and Sisterhood is a bond between those of the same gender or essence. We are talking the Masculine and Feminine energies that reside within each one of us. As we bond with our Brothers and Sisters, we are removing the separation of gender and reengaging the bond that we all have with each other as Humans, Humanhood if you will.
As a bond of Humanhood, kindness, respect, love, and compassion are the layers of feelings that are within our memory cells. These are the emotions and actions that have always resided within. We forget who we are authentically because we are caught up in the Belief Systems (BS) that we have always been taught. When we step back from the teachings and release the need to hold onto the past, we are opening our hearts to the knowing that has existed for millions of years…we are all souls, connected, intertwined, and we are all Children of God. We are not separate from God for God resides within. We are never alone for we are always connected to our Source Energy of ALL, God. We are directly connected to the Universe. The entire Universe is here for us if we just open up to embrace the love that is readily available to us.
Humanhood is a state of being, an existence that we chose. This existence was not chosen for us, we chose it. We decided to come into this world and live the life path that is destined for us by our very choice. God gave us the amazing gift of self-will. A God, that some term as a jealous God, cannot be such for a jealous God would never have given you the gift of self-will. That self-will means you can choose not to love God even though God loves you. Why would a jealous God give you self-will? Why would a vengeful God give you that choice with a knowing that you could “fail” to live up to what you may term God’s expectations for you?
God wants what is for the greater good of you. What is the greater good of you? What do I mean by that? The greater good of you is what brings you the highest state of being, your highest state of joy and happiness.
Humanhood is a gift because this is a “coming together” of all Humans. I believe 2010 is the “Year of the Soul” because 2009 transformed us from just being “Human” to being a “Spirit” living in the Human condition, a true state of being. We were always a Spirit, but we spent too many years with our heads held down, not looking up to the sky, not recognizing the sun and all its glory, not appreciating what Mother Nature has brought to all of us as gifts, and because we were under the veil of delusion and illusion for far too long. 2009 lifted us up from that place where we really didn’t know who we were and are. We have now rediscovered our Authentic Self. The next step is to determine what we are going to do with this newly rediscovered gift of our Authentic Self.
The new calendar year in 2010 is a “Year of the Soul” for me. It is the time when we will move forward as our Authentic Selves, no longer living under a façade, a mask of delusion, and are now reawakening to our soulful connections, our spiritual desires and wants, our knowing that all is about freedom of the heart, freedom of the soul. Once again, Humanhood is the bond we are forming from soul-to-soul leading us closer to our Heaven on Earth…we chose this with our self-will so what are we going to do next? That is all up you, the choice is yours, what are you going to do?
Humanhood: The bonding of Humans, Brothers and Sisters, united to give, serve, and share with self and others, as the true Spiritual, Soulful Beings that we are…
Much blessings and love to you as you live your life, making your choices, and doing your do…bonded in Humanhood…

Sprinkling the Universal Dust (Poem)
By Cheryl F. Batoon
As I begin yet another day
I’m compelled to whisper to myself and say
Another day of the same daily grind
As I realize that it is all in my mind
For each day that begins for me
Is a day of bittersweet memories I see
Days of tremendous gains
But also of many losses and pains
I am focused on lifting myself up
Through the sadness and anger that fills up my cup
While my cup is overflowing with all this strife
I begin to realize that this isn’t truly my life
I begin to spend more time alone
To meditate and to recapture my tone
This is a tone that uplifts me and fills me with joy
A melodic tone that chimes like a child’s toy
I lift myself up with a knowing
that the child-like essence of my very soul
is who I really am…my Authentic Self
Yes indeed, this is me…no more strife, no more toll…
I pick up my Crystal Bowl and rap on the side
And as I do, I realize this tone will always reside
Deep in my soul it resonates and I trust
The sprinkling of God’s Universal Dust
I Love Me, I trust in Me, I AM ME…

Co-Creator of my World
By Cheryl F. Batoon
I awaken this morning with a smile
An understanding and a knowing as I run my first mile
That I have found my vibration
Unconditional love for me brings elation
My family is surprised in this day
For they always knew me a certain way
However, I am releasing the old
And remembering all that I was told
For you see in the ancient times
I was all I could be as I listened to the triangle chimes
As I reminisced on the times before
I realized it was no longer a chore
To love unconditionally and to co-create
My world today that only I can expiate
For only I can release the past guilt and forgive all
Because I am responsible and must stand tall
As Co-Creator with God by my side
I’m feeling my vibration inside
This vibration is valuable to me
Because I manifested all to be
Co-Creator of my world, that’s me
Living in the vibration of 5D
Life is glorious and as the sun rises
I receive all of the wonderful, mystical prizes
God is great and glorious; the Universe is vast
And my vibration will forever last
Whether it is 5D or higher only time will tell
For I am Co-Creator of my world in every living cell

The Tone of Unconditional Love
By Cheryl F. Batoon
I awaken with a new way of thought
for I have finally reached a place within my heart
a place where sunrises and sunsets
enchant me with their subtle meaning long forgotten
I am assured of a new day; of touching the stars
with my glistening mass of golden rays
I know this is yet a new day but it means so much more
it means a whole new way of living like never before
I feel abundance in my heart; the unconditional love
for this love knows no bounds and my ears hear the sounds
the tones of clarity are so profound
my vibration has lifted me to heights unknown before
Yet although this is a new vibration for me
somehow I now see that I always knew
for the vibration I now feel was of a time
an ancient time so many million years ago…
I feel loved by the universe in all that I do
I feel embraced by the touch of the golden age
I now know what true freedom means in my heart
for now what was once separated is no longer torn apart
I have reached the heights unknown to many
yet with my discovery I know that I must carry
this tone…this vibration…this unconditional love
to every man, woman, and child given from above
