Guidelines for Personal Story Submissions  

See Also the Record of Email Advisories to Writers Further Down on this Page

MORE INFORMATION

Submission format: Try and keep your story to between 10 and 30 pages, if possible.   You could do it in a word processor and cut-and-paste it into an email message, or send a doc file. I would like to get all submissions in before end of March 2007, in order to insure enough time to get them all organized for that section of Matrix 6. Again, I invite you to participate and I would like to know if you will do so. Send me an email (val@trufax.org)

Ever go over your life in your mind? Here's a real opportunity for reflection and review of your unique life path. Everyone periodically gets lost in thought about the events in life, and the very act of getting out the word processor and putting things down on paper can really spur some vital realizations, as well as recognition of patterns and events that have shaped ones life.  It is a valuable exercise that others may vicariously benefit from. Among the things you must ask yourself to do this are:

I have noticed astrological considerations in life paths, especially with the Uranus cycle of 7 years. This means that at the ages of 7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63,etc there are specific life choices, major decisions, which tend to arise. There is also the Saturn Return every 28 years or so, which tends to impact life paths around the age of 28 (1st return) and around 56 (2nd Saturn Return). Google 'Saturn return' for more info on that. 

For example - For me. when I was 21 I got sent to SE Asia as a combat photographer, and then got out 2 years later; when I was 28 I re-entered the military; when I was 35 I was sent to Nevada after being in England for 4 years. When I was 42 I got out of the military and moved to Washington; when I was 49 one of my sons died and the period involving the M5 project began; the end of the M5 project and a new phase began when I turned 56.  No doubt, there are similar life event periods in your life. All those choices and roads ... 

Only serious, detailed well-thought-out stories, please.  No religious belief system nuts or lightside self-delusional pieces. They will simply be tossed into the trash. And, please, be concise and don't ramble.

An example of something that doesn't measure up:   " ... I am 100% certain that in august 1993 while walking to work that my astral body was abducted by Illuminati beings and Jesus's actual spiritual DNA energy transferred directly into my body. In the physical, I was suddenly zapped by an "infinitely powerful, holy lightning bolt of energy". Immediately the Cosmic Energy struck my body I could feel it instantly combine with my own energy and begin to massively physically and spiritually transform my dna." 

This is a case where a persons experience was interpreted in terms of distorted religious and lightside paradigms pushed to the edge of delusion. This grandstanding is not something that I would accept for the section in the book. It is hard to imagine how the reader would vicariously gain anything useful from reading stuff like this.

So, take your time and do a good job.

1/22/07  Personal Stories - Helpful Hints
===================================

Firstly, look at the major astrological aspects I mentioned. First, the cycles of Uranus. Usually major decisions, choices or events happen every 7 years - when you were 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, etc.

In addition, there is what is called the Saturn Return (about 28 years) , which happens around the age of 28, 56 and 84. The first Saturn Return is often a hard one, however the later ones are not so bad - these can mark distinct changes in the pattern of your life.

(Birth) 0 .............. 7.............14.............21............28................35................42........49.....56..........63........ Uranus cycle points

(Birth) 0 ............................................................28-30.......................................................56-58............... Saturn Return cycle points

All this helps the INITIAL organization of the story, because the outline is chronological in nature.

The major decisions, choices, events often constitute 'fork in the road" choices in life, sometimes 'rocky' or 'smooth' roads which promote or retard the degree of advancement of your incarnational perspective.

Once the major decisions, choices or events are discussed, then the QUESTIONS in the guidelines must be addressed (see the guidelines on the LE home page - the links in the M6 panel), which deal with reflections on the life - the patterns, the experiential loops (with Body-ID, sex, gender, relationshios, habits, etc), hard or easy road choices, 20/20 hindsight recognition (looking back and understanding the 'why' of certain things that happened the way they did), synchronicities, and other factors which will come out when you look back at everything. Be sure to address those areas mentioned in the guidelines

See this SAMPLE STORY I sent, which shows what one person did in terms of organization of thoughts and the story.

Please try and avoid going off on tangents or diversions promoting or grandstanding specific earth belief systems, earth philosophies or literary obsessions. Stay on task.

I will do what I can to help you with your stories once they are put together, so that they flow smoothly, however it does help if things are more or less in the right place, so that is something you can focus on. Don't forget that all this will be anonymous, so you have no reason to hold back.

Dec 10, 2006 - General Call for Stories Update
========================================

Hello - Since the original call for stories (see section below), we have gotten a few responses so far, but it is uncertain at this point how many people will be participating by submitting the story of their personal journey. Please let us know if you will be sending a submission for this important section of the book. Several people have submitted initial versions and have re-submitted expansions of the original story, which is just fine. This exercise will be quite valuable for anyone at this point in the game, because not only does it reveal patterns to ones life, but also discovery and lessons learned about your unique life that form more angles from which the reader can view his/her own life progression. Again, all stories in this section of the book will be listed without names, so your story will be anonymous - no one will know who it is, giving you complete confidentiality.

24 October 2006 - General Call For Stories of Personal Evolution  
=================================================


Yes, we are all wayfarers, travelers in reality, each with our own unique individual journey, filled with hopes and dreams, discoveries, disasters, experiential loops, synchronicities, 20-20 hindsight and realizations which make up our experiential journey and our individual progression and the expansion of our awareness.


Now in production for 2007, one section of this book is slated to have stories from people like you, detailing their evolutionary journey. There is something that can be said for vicarious experience - what people go through and discover about themselves can be inspiring, and spur us on to greater experiences within our own unique path. If you are fortunate enough to be one for whom Matrix 5 was written for, no doubt your story will be both amazing, awe inspiring and inspirational!


If you would like to submit your own personal story of evolution and spiritual expansion, we would be pleased to receive it.
Please make it in story form with a logical progression of events, describing some of the things detailed in the first paragraph above.
Please limit your story to between 10 and 20 pages, if possible. Be concise and do not ramble or rant. All submissions will be annotated in the book as anonymous by default, and all stories are subject to minor editing You are a wayfarer of reality - let's hear your story! Submissions will be  reviewed as they come in over the next several months. 

Thanks. Val
