Once again, thanks to all of you who have read my book. You now possess something no one else has; a part of the subconscious mind of the author. And if you join in this review/discussion, you will gain even more revelations.
It is interesting to note that each of you had different insights, views and your own favourite characters. And at least one of you was able to acknowledge that the story has depth; it does indeed go deep. If you as a reader can go that far into the abyss, it shows how open you mind is to the Universe, and that’s good. In that case, you really will enjoy these discussions.
Not a lot of readers know this, but chapter one was actually chapter 12. As I considered this my best chapter; the one I always talked about before I even published my book, under the advice of my mentor and coach Millionaire Author Stephanie Hale, this part of the book became the beginning of the story to set the scene for Broken Oath. (Which I might add was not the original title of the book either. But that is another topic for discussion.)
This chapter was meant to be a flashback into one of the many reincarnations of the Lady of Stature, or Lady of Time, otherwise known as Melee.
I was endeavouring to show the reader how it is not by accident that you can end up in a situation in life. Nor is it coincidence that your destiny takes you on a particular pathway. Your decision determines your destination. It is the result of the choice you made yesterday.
Consider how many times you have said to yourself. “Why am I here?” “Why is this happening to me?” “It is something I did in my past life?” Whilst you may make these statements flippantly at times, subconsciously, you are trying to remember a promise you made; An Oath, made a long time ago.
This is how it is with the Lady of Stature. And in fact, as those readers who have read Broken Oath have observed, even before this episode, she has already broken a commitment. In all her rebirth, she relived this cycle.
That being so, then it is not purely by accident that she ends up imprisoned in the fortress of the Lord Supreme.
Note that ‘around her waist was a deep belt, 5 inches wide. And attached to the belt was a chain…3 inches in diameter…with a length of 16 ft. It stretched from beneath her bed and allowed her limited mobility.’ What is that all about you may ask?
Well, from the point of view of the Universe, (although the Lady of Stature may not see it that way, because she has still to learn her lesson.) The belt, the chain, the limited mobility and the bed are significant. The belt is the belt of truth; the oath she took and that which the Universe still holds her to. This is confirmed on page 15 when the Lady calls to the Physician. “But what about this band around my waist?”…There was silence, and then his voice. “………….it will hold you to your Oath until the end of Time.”
The chain is to ensure the bond; the limited mobility is all that she has given up for the cause. The bed is personal. It was a choice that she alone made.
If you and I are honest, we can all identify with the situation, whether it be factual or metaphorically. How we view a situation and how the Universe creates it are 2 very different scenarios for one meaning. Which more often than not, we never connect the dots. Lucky for the Lady (including ourselves) there are many lifetimes to understand the lesson taught and get it right.
I’ll shall end this discussion now as some of you must be thinking, “Oh my goodness, this is too deep.” Plus when I write anything, it always comes from the creative energy within me. Once that is used up, I usually end up writing nonsense so it is best if I stop now.
I do hope this short discussion and insight gives you all food for thought.
We’ll catch up soon. Watch this space for more revelations in Chapter one of Broken Oath; we will continue reviewing the character of the Lady of Stature.
