Storm Walker.
Being a Psychologist is about Mastering the Science and Skills of Storm Walking.
And if you can’t do it, then you don’t know.
You don’t “do” Storm Walking in a Book.
Storm Walking is what the Navy Seals and Marines train their Best to do. They know what I’m talking about.

You need to “get” that this is a Story. And you are the Author. You don’t “get” this and life will not work so easily for you. The sooner you accept that you are a Story, that you have to learn how to Live your Story while you are in your Story as you write your Story as fast as you think, dream, and live — the moment you realize that this is all that life is — you become the Master.
There are two Stories to every Life.
Yours and “The Great Story Of All And Everything”
Like The Poets, I beg to begin The Story of the Muse and also to invoke Mnemosyne who is Memory.
Once Upon A Time, there was a Goddess named Mnemosyne. In English, her Name is Memory.
Memory was the Goddess of Bards, Philosophers, Ashavana, Wise Men, Druids, and Artists. Mnemosyne was Goddess of Memory, Story, Water, Logic, Language, and Words.
Every song, every book, every poem, every play, every story that was ever made, written, sung, danced was dedicated to her.
Water did not have memory. Water IS Memory.
All this came to an end when Rome created The Roman Coin, which they called “Moneta.” “Moneta” gave us the word “Mint” and “Monetary” and “Money.” This we called Memory, until we forgot her completely and raised up “Money” as God in her place.
“Moneta” is what the Romans called Memory.
When the Romans began making their moneta, they decided to take Mnemosyne’s Temples where her Bards would Study, and they took her name, her Temples, her Stories. They took her Words.
By the time they were done, Memory was Forgotten.
Memory was angry. She lost her Bards. She lost her Ashavana who the Romans had killed. She lost her songs, her Philosophers, her plays, her Artists. So Memory cursed The Roman Coin so that all who pursued Roman Coin called “Moneta” would Forget.
Time passed.
And Memory called to us. She spoke to us.
While we showered, we sang. And we didn’t know why.
When it rained, so many of us danced in the rain. And we didn’t know why.
“Moneta” means “To Warn” and “Moneta” meant “Lonely.”
And every last one of us felt her Loneliness.
The more people pursued Roman Coin, the more people Forgot. Soon, there were no Bards, Poets, or Artists left who remembered Memory. And thus our memory was lost.
But Memory spoke through her Bards.
She spoke through her Artists.
She spoke through her Writers.
The Song “Memory” from Cats? Memory is talking to us.
The Song “Memories” by Barbara Streisand? Memory is talking to us.
Olaf telling us all, “Water has Memory?” Memory is talking to us.
Moana? Memory is talking to us.
Lord of The Rings? Memory is talking to us.
Memory uses her Bards to talk through them to us. She’s been telling us how. Begging us to listen.
She’s lonely. She’s lost. She’s cold. And we’re Broken.
We’ve been silent for too long.
We all have forgotten
Who we are, what we are.
It’s time to wake up now. It’s time to remember.
Who you are. What we are.
Because she’s lonely. She’s lost. She’s cold. And we’re Broken.
Like The Poets, I beg to begin The Story of the Muse and also to invoke Mnemosyne who is Memory. So sing to her in the Shower. Dance with her in The Rain. Laugh with her by the Sea.
Invoke Memory and Remember who you are.
“I missed you so much,” I said and cried again. I missed you… So so much.
