OM

HELLO. AT this very moment as you read these words. I hope you feel a sense of Peacefulness.

I wish upon you all there is to wish about if wishes were for Peace at last.

I THANK YOU FOR EXISTING FIRST AND FOREMOST.

SECONDLY

I'd love to extend my appreciation of your eyes having the capacity of vision and dexterity to capture the light emitting into your retinas. How else would you be able to enjoy a respite of time in another person's perspective? I Invite you to be still for a moment and read the following essay with an unbiased mindset.Then read it again with a negative biased as if you already thought The Book was a monstrosity..Then if you're interested in Seeing your own ability and Capacity to perceive the world as you wish. Then read again in the positive mindset and allow yourself to fall in love with every word. Still you have granted me the honor of your attention. Then Read it once more in a centered mindset. See how it can be applied to education and training for identifying archetypes. Imagine now this book was a child

HOW WOULD YOU REACT

OR RESPOND TO THE INTELLIGENCE IT IS MERELY EXPRESSING; BECAUSE YOU GAVE LIFE.

THANK YOU.

THE MORAL OF

THE STORY

Every story has a moral in the context of its content. Some

morals are intentionally obvious while others may seem to

be betwixt the line of sight. Either way they are very present

and for a good and great reason: To be a lesson taught in life.

Some stories teach lessons of common sense and decency by

showing the structure of what is thought to be proper. This is

done by showing the contrast of the concepts of push and pull;

Restriction and liberation. A syllabus prepared by a professor

for the purpose of sharing wisdom is in its rite a story told.

I therefore declare any professor or teacher who has pupils

the ultimate storyteller and master my master. Through this

master professor I have begun my journey as a master student.

“Becoming a Master Student”: The title of the story

as told by the professor Jackie Kidder of the University of

Phoenix. The story began with an invitation to journey

and discover a place known by the sages as: Self Island.

I thought this was silly at first. But, without further

recourse I wholeheartedly agreed and jumped aboard the

ship without regard to disregard and or regret. Little did

I know, I had just agreed to change the course of my

existence and the fate of the entire universe; my universe.

With a raised brow I tiptoed through the creaking ship

and up to the deck where there were others standing and

admiring all there was to see. In the center of the deck

I noticed an envelope that had an emblem; a phoenix!

With a swift certainty I approached the Red and White

trimmed envelope. For a moment I thought to myself, “Is

this really for me?” It had my name on a silver etched tag.

As I reached for the item and picked it up I noticed its

significant elegance and simplicity of papered craft. I also

noticed it had a hefty weight.

Unveiling the contents I immediately recognized the message

was from Academia; the land I once knew to be my home. I

had not thought of Academia in such a while. I had forgotten

about its beauty. I had put aside the memories of canyons of

knowledge and valleys of wisdom. I realized suddenly that my

journey away from Academia was walked on a road that lead to

the nation of STAG. This Stag-nation was a nation filled with

uncertainty and perplexity and unnecessary chaos. The letter

from Academia was addressed to Luis Ernesto from the higher

self. I began reading the words and the sensation of peace came

over my being. As I continued reading I came to a stanza that

asked, “How do you learn?” Underneath was a scribbled note

that read APLIA HOMEWORK. It was a clue!

Inside was an ACER laptop with a touch screen and another

note; to operate this device you must critically think. Along

with the laptop there was an educational compass a centered

writing apparatus and a brand new top of the line Riverpoint

Writer! I felt as if it were too good to be true but it was true.

The instructions were clear: Use the Compass to guide you to

the next step. The River Point Writer will allow you to turn

on the laptop and you will receive further instruction once

the screen is on and the window is open. I did as I should and

with an orchestra conductor's gesture the screen lit up and read,

WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF PHOENIX. My

eyes lit up as I began my course first: GEN 201. I realized at that

moment that this was the intro to the essay that would share my

experience of what I have learned thus far and how I will apply

these learned concepts to my ongoing academic success.

If a goal were a grape seed then the cultivation of it in

The vineyard is the stage we are at as students. The

pursued degree: the wine. Before the wine is ever made there

must be a reason to make it. Whatever reason that may be

is the intention of the master student. A master student will

know that the wine is made to bring people together to share

a meal. The meal in my mind is knowledge. It is important to

set solid goals by having vision and clear intent. My intention

is to be the master student that I was meant to be and travel

the world. I must discover what has been discovered by many

before me and hopefully a multitude of hereafter. The essence

of what life was meant to be; lived and lived well and with

good humor, heart and soul.

My guitar is my weapon of choice in the battle against the

injustice of what is considered to be popular music. With it

I write the score for my career. I see myself in a multitude of

roles that will require true discipline and not taking myself

so seriously. That is my next point actually. Success doesn’t

just arrive at your doorstep. We must invite success into our

home and once we do we must ask it how many guests it is

going to bring. If many then it’s best to be prepared ahead

of time and have a team of supportive family to help set the

tables and clean the house wash the dishes and make certain

that the area is comfortable for the guest that is success.

I wish there were a space between paragraphs that would

allow for a Shakespearean experience. The lllllllllllllllllll
