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…

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

What are you passionate about?
Today I awoke with the thoughts of passion. What are we all passionate about? What makes us happy…so happy, that we would jump up first thing in the morning to embrace it? What fills our hearts with such joy that we are giggly, we are in a consistent state of happiness, we are floating on air because life is so sweet, and we are feeling our Heaven on Earth?
The answer for me is my Passion. I love getting up in the morning to write. I love interacting and sharing inspirational thoughts with others. I love spending time with like-minded, like-hearted people…because they keep me on a positive tip. When I go to sleep at night, I am filled with great joy because I know that the following day it will all begin again for me.
I thank God for the ability to write and communicate. I thank God for inspiring me to begin to write and to keep me cracking. Yes, communication is my passion and yes, this will be a passion of mine forever…I just feel that somehow…
So what is your passion? What is it that you have always wanted to do, but said you couldn’t afford to do it or it won’t pay the bills? What is it that you once dreamed of doing, but now feel you are too old, too settled in your life, and even thinking what else is there, but what you are doing? Please think again because doing what you passionately love is what life is all about. Please take a moment to think on this if you can.
Sending blessings and love to you all as you rediscover your passions and frolic in the fountain of life…

The Divine meeting of Twin Flames
By Cheryl F. Batoon
The Divine meeting of Twin Flames
Ordained by destiny
Frequency of Love; Increase in Vibration
With the symbol of infinity
Millions of years ago
The original splitting of the soul
Into two created duality
Allowing the experience of 3D for all
Twin Flames always knew something was missing
But could never figure it out
They would have dreams
See visions in their head; but still had doubt
Well one day these two souls came together
Nothing was planned and it never really mattered
For after all these long years
As their vibration rose, they no longer felt scattered
As they sat in that restaurant that fateful day
Immersed in each other’s eyes; they were indivisible
For no one could see or hear them
And for two long hours they were invisible
Once reunited, they knew this was powerful
The frequency of divine love
The reigniting of the Twin Flame
And the Cosmic Triad from source energy above
All Twin Flames everywhere are coming together
To reunite for a mission to serve the Divine
Each couple will have their own purpose
Valuing their vibration; forever entwined
They will toil and they will labor
They will work night and day to serve all
Relentless in their goal
Empowered to reverse the great fall
For they are on a mission
A purpose as Twin Flames
To teach humans the power of their emotions
To remember, to release belief systems; no more games
If it is destined to be for you and me
In the Golden Age of the Twin Flame Unity
We will reunite just like them
And sail into the night at first opportunity
Remember “the One”, the completion if you will
As you seal the deal to again become whole
With full trust and faith
You will find your destiny in the Cosmic Bowl
So as you go thru your life wondering this or that
Reach deep inside with a knowing that you are the same
You are as you were since time began
Preparing for your divine meeting with your Twin Flame…

In the essence of the flow of life
We come in as a part of a whole
Although we are whole within us
We are unique in our fold
We are one of many more of the One
In this dance of life
We know we are not to dance alone
We are to spin and whirl
With a partner, whether boy or girl
But at no time were we to dance alone
Never feeling alone, yet always lonely
Is not the state of the soul or our life goal
It is to be loved and to give love
To reach up, to step up
Always moving to the rhythm of our soul
No matter how far we venture
Whether here or there
We know our true love is searching
preparing to meet with fate on this date
forever seeking their divine mate
For in order to dance the dance of life
One must prepare and prance
Beginning the dance with a spin and a whirl
Stretching beyond comfort; the open shell and the pearl
Forever tied into the eye of the Relationship Matrix…
Dance the dance of life
The dance of romance
The peace and contentment of the One
Gliding and flowing…feeling every nuance of the vibration
as we live in the Relationship Matrix…

“My Four-Cornered Room” has been released for publication on Oct. 30, 2009 and available at http://outskirtspress.com/webpage.php?ISBN=9781432748630
My Four-Cornered Room” will take the reader into the realm of the human mind to witness each character’s foray into the deepest darkest depths of the soul to ultimately triumph amidst adversity. The author brings each character alive and you will find yourself crying with them through their pain and sorrow and laughing with them as they celebrate with their soul families. You will experience the richness of the soul amidst the travails of life.
This is a fictional novel that will surprise you with its ability to transcend your experience by delivering a world of reality in the creative form of dreams and fantasies. You will walk the path of each character in the first person as they transition from self into the collective consciousness of the soul family. Each character will take the reader from the “darkness of the soul” to the freedom and triumph of spirit. This is an inspirational, spiritual book that reminds us about unconditional love and compassion for one another as we all learn that we are one within the whole, our soul family.
This is a passage from “My Four-Cornered Room”.
Embrace this space for this is the place of diversity. This is when you are many parts of a whole from multiple dimensions. You are all those many dimensions. You are diversity within you as a whole of the One.
Much like the rainbow,
We are all the beautiful colors,
Much like the sky, we are steadfast and whole,
Much like the stars, we are bright and sparkly,
Much like the moon, we glisten and glow.
We are the sun for we rise each day to greet God
And set each night in gratitude for all;
Both the good and the not so good
Are treasured for all they do for the best of you
Let’s open our eyes to see Love & Light
Let’s open our hearts to embrace the Christ Consciousness
For we are a part of the whole,
We are one with the universe,
We are children of God,
We are in it together.
Each character is intimately portrayed in the reflection of what they see in the mirror. These emotions span the gamut from hate, shame, and guilt, to despair, and anger. These negative emotions create bitterness, anger, and sadness leading to health issues. In the midst of all of this negativity, we are able to see each character rise from the ashes much like the Phoenix…
The reader is guided through the lives of each character as they plan and prepare for a special ceremony that springs forth in the rebirth of the Twin Flame and the true soul family. Each character’s journey to this culmination of a soul bonding event leaves the reader in a place where he/she can take comfort in the beauty that life brings and the promise that “what we put out to the world always comes back.”
The author takes you on a magical trek through the myriad facets of the human mind and heart. The reader will travel with the characters as they plunge into their deepest darkest point of the soul; each character is given a choice, a decision, to turnaround their lives. What will they do? What direction will they go? Will they follow the path of spirit with the light of unconditional love and compassion?
While reading this novel, we are reminded that life may be filled with struggles and challenges; however, through the self-will and choices, one is able to overcome those challenges. As the story develops, the reader will experience the reality of many of the character’s experiences. The author brings clarity and a striking semblance of understanding with each character and ultimately, their choices and decisions. The author takes the reader to a world of fantasy amidst what could only be coined the reality of many.
As we travel through this captivating book, we are carried to the present where we grow and learn with each character as they follow their life path. We observe through these experiences how important people are to our life and our life purpose. We realize that others bring about change and we learn to understand what it means to embrace that change.
The reader is swept away in the throes of intense love and heartbreak to include adultery, lies, deceit, and divorce to the world of online dating and the “games people play”. We are shown how to really love one another and what true love actually means. We experience the rediscovery of the true love, the one, the Twin Flame.
We are taken on a journey of self-discovery within the heart. We are taught how to relearn to love our self in order to truly love another. We understand that the “Union of the Soul within is a reflection in another”. We are then brought forward from the intense love and heartbreak to a place where we rediscover self-love and remember who we really are, our authentic selves. We are living these lives right along with the characters as we visit their world of dreams, desires, fantasies, and wishes on the rainbow of life…these colorful characters show us the love that resides within the heart and is captured within the soul.
The reader is introduced to Derek, a young 17 year old that has been incarcerated for attempted murder. We experience his life through his eyes and words and we are swept up in his pain and anguish. Derek is living in his four-cornered room in every facet. We observe Derek’s internal journey of change through his dialogue with wisdom.
We then meet Teena, a 17 year old with a flair for the dramatic as she struggles with her existence as a young teenage girl caught up in a world of which she feels no real connection. Teena is living within her four-cornered room as well by dwelling on the pain of self-hate. Teena has found her comfort with the “Meth” pipe and her special box that maintains her answers to self-control and empowerment. We follow Teena as she faces her self-hate head on and rediscovers who she really is; her authentic self.
The author then takes us through the life experiences of two people who are spending too much time outside of their four-cornered rooms. They are focused on serving and giving to others while existing within an unbalanced world where they neglect self at the expense of others.
We are introduced to Luis, a 40 year old man that must face a sudden shift in his reality. His wife no longer loves him and has left the family. Luis has three daughters and is left with the burden of facing the world alone as a single parent. Luis opts to commit suicide and is faced with the many demons that have resided within his soul and were of his own making. We follow Luis as he faces one of the deepest darkest moments of the soul; when we are faced with life or death decisions.
Finally we meet Mena. Mena is 45 years old and faced with a life that has been stagnant and reeks of self-disgust and discomfort within one’s own skin. We find Mena living under the veil of delusion for she has spent the last 20 years of her life in a “desert period” where her career and marriage are no longer fulfilling. She is faced with the challenge of rediscovering herself.
The reader follows Mena through her life experiences and her dreams and desires. As we follow Mena along her journey, we see how she has used the Law of Attraction to fulfill her many desires and goals. Mena demonstrates how patience and perseverance have paid off in her life. She shows the reader how with strong desire, we are able to manifest the very dreams and passions we carry in our soul.
This book is a must read for those experiencing the darkness of the soul and seeking an uplifting novel that is truly nourishment for the spirit. This book is also a great read for those who love stories of triumph and great loves as we are taken to a world where fantasies become reality and just a simple dream can manifest and bring so much more than we anticipated. This book is also an adventure that will take you to a special celebration of love that you shall never forget.
You will find these characters rediscovering the unconditional love and compassion that always resided in their hearts. You will witness the transcendence from the 3rd dimensional focus on negativity and drama to a dimensional vibration that embraces joy, happiness, bliss, serenity, and peace.
The author brings all these characters together to a triumphant conclusion that will awaken your soul, reengage your spirit, lift up your vibrations, entrance you with the true love of the heart, and culminate with the reuniting of the true Soul Family.
The setting in this novel could be anywhere as the collective consciousness joins in the reunion of unconditional love and compassion within the soul. The author literally takes us to a place of transcendence to the 5th dimension and beyond.
You will find yourself pondering these questions and more as you relax and begin this spiritual journey. You will laugh, you will cry, you will feel many emotions, but in the end, you will smile and rejoice in “My Four-Cornered Room”…Enjoy.

August 23rd, 2009
Unconditional Love and Freedom go hand-in-hand. They are one and the same for with unconditional love, our souls will know true freedom. Freedom begins in the heart, not the mind. The heart is where the embryo of love first plants a seed for growth and development. When we are born, we already know unconditional love and compassion. We are truly free until we begin to live on this planet.
A number of conditions arise once we are born into this world whether this is our first life or one of many. Due to the gift of self-will that God gave us, we were given a choice in everything, how we live, where we live, how we treat others, and even how we are treated. This may be a difficult pill to swallow for many, but all you see around you from the day you were born in this lifetime, you agreed to it. You agreed to it before you actually lived in it not realizing the challenges you were to face due to your self-will and choices. These cannot be predicted. The end result remains the same, but the journey is of your own making.
If this doesn’t resonate with you, then stop reading at this point for I am here to share with you my truth and how it all works for me. It first begins with loving you. In order to truly love you, free yourself from your mind. Understand that intelligence has its place, to be intellectual assists you with your life progress, but your mind will also make decisions against your heart and there, my friends, is when you are no longer free.
Freedom is a “state of heart”, not a “state of mind”. Yes, we choose freedom just as we choose imprisonment of the mind, body, and soul; however, when freedom is chosen from the heart, it doesn’t matter where your physical body resides. It doesn’t matter if you are sick or physically incapacitated. It doesn’t matter if you are incarcerated. As a matter of fact, if you would like validation of this, ask anyone who has suffered a major illness, or on their death bed. They will tell you the same that it is their heart that is truly free, not their mind. The heart is the last to speak from a dying person’s lips. It all comes back to the heart no matter what.
Having said all of this, I bring you back to Unconditional Love and Freedom. With Unconditional Love comes Freedom. Freedom of the heart is to free you from the darkness of this world, from the ego, from the wounds of the soul, from the karmic energies of the past, and from all pain you may be feeling now.
How do I love me you ask? By accepting who you are, your authentic self. You are loved each and every moment of your life even if you do not love you. You are loved even if you do not show love to others. You are loved no matter what you have done in your life. Only you can forgive you and love you. It is your choice. God gave you that gift of choice. You are always loved in spite of yourself; therefore, forgive yourself, lift yourself up, and be free my friends, BE FREE…
Much blessings and love to you as you strive to know freedom of the heart with Unconditional Love…and so it is…
