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…

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”.

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…
“God’s Child in Oneness with the Universe”

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

If Just for One Moment…(Poem)
By Cheryl F. Batoon
If just for one moment, I want to feel your heart beating next to mine
I want to feel the rustle of the sheets as we lay side-by-side
Enchanted with your kisses; mesmerized by your soulful eyes
I never knew a touch could mean so much…
If just for one moment, I want to know that the sky will open up one day;
Pick us up with the wind and take us sailing homeward bound
Laughing and playing while loving and holding one another
Baby, you belong to me, if just for one moment…
If just for one moment, I would rather be with you until I’m through
I would rather be with you until that day we fly away
I just love that smiling face in the early sun,
if I can’t have you to myself, life’s no fun…if just for one moment…
If just for one moment, I will give you all the love I have to give
I’ll give you all I have inside; reaching deep inside my soul
For as a bird in a cage, you give me the freedom of an open door
And my love and soul soar from the heavens just for you…
If just for one moment, I would rather see your smile and hear your songs
Sweet love songs from the heart, straight from the heart
Because what we have is much more than anyone can see
Can’t you see the love from up above; our lives are changing Baby…
If just for a moment, I have filled the space in your heart with all I have to give
And as a bird in a cage, the door is open for you my love to soar free
For I have taken your love, balled it up in my hands and gently blew you away
So that you could soar free in the heavens and return ever so gently to the palm of my hands
If just for one moment, I would do anything just to be with you
I belong to you baby today and always until the day we fly away
In the sky, hand and hand, staring into each other’s eyes
No powerful love have I ever felt before…If just for one moment with you…

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…

“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.

When we rise up to embrace the day
We are unaware of the surprises coming our way
God brings the unexpected into our lives
As we open our hearts and hear him say:
"The essence of the heart
Is to engage in true love
For with true love you will learn
all the lessons from above"
Without experiencing true love
and compassion in our life
We are unable to truly know what
unconditional love is due to all the strife
Unrequited love brings so much sadness
The wracking pain in our heart hurts so much
However if we only knew we were experiencing for God
We would accept it, embrace it, and know we have been touched
God is beyond human emotions
However, he feels our pain and discontent
He knows all the reasons why we hurt
because he knows our heart and intent
When your true love ignores you
And when their silence becomes deafening to your ears
Know that God will never ignore you or be silent
Because God understands you and your cries he hears
When true love surrounds your heart
With a wrenching pain of neglect and despair
Know that God will never neglect you
For God holds you in his arms with love and care
When the one you love doesn’t love you back
That is OK for that is a choice
But always know that God will never forsake you
For God loves you and he always hears your voice
So when true love has broken your heart
And you don’t know what to do
Know that God loves you
and he promises to open a new door for you
True Love is in the moment
For each moment is all we have
God knows this and will surprise us
With a new love that will sooth our pain like a salve…

October 5th, 2009
Today I felt inspired to write about Unconditional Love and living a Balanced Life. What does this mean? What does it not mean?
What does this mean exactly? To live a balanced life is to live a life where one is in touch with their inner self, their higher spirit, directly in tune with God.
Within each one of us is elements of the masculine and feminine aspects of both intellect and emotion. When we separate the two, we are floundering with misunderstandings because we are looking at the world and each other under the light of disillusion and with the lens of duality. Merge together the masculine and feminine within and one will achieve balance.
How do we do this? First, be more in touch with who you are, your Authentic Self. Your Authentic Self is who your soul is, your identity, your Spiritual DNA.
In order to get in touch with who you are, spend time learning and loving you. What makes you happy? What brings bliss and joy into your world? What are you passionate about? What do you desire and want? Meditate and pray, spend time alone and listen, truly listen for God and your spirit guides will assist you with learning and understanding what self-love is. With self-love, we are able to rediscover our Authentic Self.
One of the biggest drivers and motivators of our intellect is our ego. With that, our emotions are tied into the conditions and expectations driven by the ego. The ego has its place in our world because God created our ego with an understanding that our ego assists us with our life lessons. Most of our life lessons were and are driven by our egos. Our ego oftentimes sets us up for failure. It is with faith, belief, and knowing that God is the true driver of our life that assists us with the ability to release our ego and embrace the love.
When we are able to release the ego and moderate its intensity, we are able to relax and just go with the flow of being who we really are, our Authentic Selves.
When we can look into the mirror and really see ourselves as God sees us for God loves us unconditionally, we are then able to release self-judgments, self-hate, shame, guilt, and all those negative emotions that we have had stored up our entire lives. We are to learn to not be so hard on ourselves, to embrace that we are Children of God, and as such, we are powerful creator beings. We create the very world we live in with God’s loving hand. The portrait that is the masterpiece of our life was painted by God with a hand by you. You are empowered with the unconditional love of God. There is absolutely nothing that you can’t do. You are truly a powerful creator being of love and light.
What does this not mean? To be balanced is to know that there is no hierarchy, there is no domination and submission for there is no desire to control or dominate others. There is no desire to submit our will and power over to another. There is no need to “submit your will to God” for God resides within you. All that you do is for and about God even if you aren’t aware of it. God knows your heart and intent for God lives within your heart and sees all.
We are a Child of God and God doesn’t demand, expect, or require anything from us for he loves us unconditionally. There are no conditions and there are no rules. If we stop depending upon things external to us to create balance, we will become more and more aware of the Truth that always resided within. With unconditional love of self and the release of the ego, we become a balanced being within and are able to create balanced relationships with others.
Live by this and you shall know true freedom. God knows your heart and intent no matter what you say and do for God loves you unconditionally. This alone brings about empowerment and balance to our lives.
There is so much more to this Universe than many of us are even aware, but we will become more and more connected as our awareness increases and the veil is lifted.
Until then, there are many of us who are relegated to belief systems that hierarchies are necessary and that there cannot be a relationship without a leader and a follower. Did you know that by believing that there must be a leader and a follower, that there must be domination and submission, we are taking away the empowerment that God has instilled in each one of us?
The focus isn’t on hierarchies or whether one is a leader or follower, but rather are we balanced and are we effectively utilizing our skill sets to help each other and the world? Some people serve as natural born leaders, but always with a fairness and compassion of the heart to fully utilize their skill sets without the use of the ego-driven passions of domination, control, and expectation of submission from one’s followers. To be balanced is to understand and embrace your leadership skill sets with a knowing that you are bringing organization to chaos, not domination over one’s followers. Remember, release the ego and embrace love.
There are those who may say that we cannot have a world without leaders and followers. That is true for natural born leaders bring about organization out of chaos; however, that leader has an understanding that he/she is here to serve those that follow and again always with compassion and unconditional love. True leaders are not dominating and controlling. True leaders do not need to dominate and control. Those that lead also follow and those that follow also lead. This is the balance we have within us for we serve in both functions throughout our lives.
God gave us the freedom to choose. I choose to be balanced within me and in all my relationships. I’m a spirit living in the human condition and as such, this is an ongoing process to learn to release the ego and embrace the love.
Be balanced in all things for with that you too shall know freedom. Much blessings and love to you as you continue down your life path with a knowing that you are unconditionally loved. Embrace the empowerment of the soul…always with unconditional love and compassion as you live a balanced life…
