The realm of imagination is what I’d like to share today. Let me tell you a story.
Once upon a time two archetypal characters, Nefos and Zalinda, lived and ruled as one. Their reign was golden because Nefos’ distortion was balanced by Zalinda’s clarity: chaos and order were in harmony. But trouble was afoot. Eons ago after a major eclipse these two powers split apart. Nefos and Zalinda both resented the others specialty and wanted more freedom for their own individual power. They fought horribly and the golden reign broke apart. In the heavens and on earth chaos dominated.
My graphic novel series, TREE OF KEYS/ Issue 1 Threshold of Fire, tells the story of the way back home. The story begins on the eve of a Super Full Moon similar to the one happening this week. In the drawing of page 1 you can see the mountains and sleeping porch at Quest Camp nestled among the pine trees. The Moon shines brightly. Inside 12 orphan kids who are the focus of the story are tucked in their beds and having strange dreams. If you look closely off to the left there is an odd looking tree. This tree holds the key to the whole saga. As the story develops these 12 kids journey to become Astro Heroes. They search for their core talents, abilities and power then together try to heal the split between Nefos and Zalinda…and, of course, save the world! As you follow the series and watch the kids discover their major talents, you will also discover what in essence your Super Power is.
Leaving the imaginary and fictitious realm, the philosophy “As Above So Below” continues to make sense in our everyday lives. Notice how your sign’s strength affects your character. Prepare for Full Moons; pay attention to your perceptions, and if you need to howl, go for it.
Knight of Liberty Barry Cooper was once considered one of America’s top drug agents who worked joint operations with the ATF, DEA, FBI, U.S. Military and Border Patrol. He received specialized training in narcotics interdiction methods such as undercover operations, reversal operations, search warrants, K-9’s and highway interdiction. In 2006, Barry was the first to blow the whistle on drug dog false alerts.
