I have a book for recording dreams and also use it as a journal for the FST course. Before writing this I read through it and found a dream from 1/96: In a school cafeteria, a cougar picks me out of the crowd and bites me on the hand. To those around it seemed to be my fault, but I say I haven t done anything at all. Then in exasperation I say, "Who will be my mentor?"
   Later that year I joined the k-list and met Mystress Angelique Serpent there. Now, after almost 5 years, it seems she decided to take that position. I cannot tell you how many times, after reading her posts, I went into a state of jaw-dropping awe, amazed at how she could address my issues with such accuracy. And the timing! Its synchronicity at it s finest. Her ability to hear and communicate is truly a gift most people don t tap into. You see, I rarely ever posted anything to the list.
   The FST course is an exceptional collection of work that, on reflection, has had more of an empowering influence on me than anything else. It has brought me out of sleep and into awareness, sometimes awake-ness, and who knows, maybe someday enlightenment. She has and continues to show me the way.

    When I first started working with Mystress Angelique Serpent, I was in so much emotional pain as the result of the loss of almost everything I valued that life was literally unlivable. This was so even though I was under the care of an excellent psychologist whom I had known for nearly ten years and I was on an anti-depressant. I’m a very successful writer and I am finishing raising five children by myself. I had to find a way out of where I was in order to keep my life going and nothing was working.

    I was sent to Angelique by a Theosophical teacher who was familiar with Angelique’s ability to help people heal when everything else had failed. That turned out to be true in my case as well. Within a couple of months of starting to work with Angelique, using the techniques she offers in the course, starting out with the grounding technique, I was in a different place. It took about four months of work with her techniques before I was able to come of the anti-depressants completely. I am now out of therapy and emotionally stable yet it has been less than a year since I first started using her grounding exercises. I still suffer from emotional pain because I am highly empathic by nature, but I have learned ways to work through and to release the distress so it no longer disables me.

    I am profoundly grateful for the changes in my wellbeing as I put together a new life for myself and I cannot recommend her course highly enough.

    The course is offered at what I consider to be a minimal amount. Each time I saw a psychiatrist to check on my medication, the hourly rate charged at my clinic for his services was $295.00, which I paid out of my own pocket as my depression was considered a pre-existing condition under my current health plan. The rate charged for my psychologist was $110.00 per hour and I got to see her for 40 minutes of that hour, but the $110.00 showed up on the bill. The Zoloft medication I was on was $72.00 for each 30 days supply. What price then for mental health? The ability to work through and survive severe emotional pain is a priceless gift that has come only because of the techniques I’ve learned through working with Angelique. I will be grateful for this for the rest of my life.

    I am in my late forties and considered a successful businessman. My work takes me around the world and by material standards, I earn a handsome income. I've started successful companies and held senior positions in many established corporations. However, it always seemed that no matter how hard I would try, there was always something missing, something more about life that was just beyond my reach.

    I re-examined myself and found that the missing element was, as always is, the spiritual factor in everything. As a child and into my adult life, it was always this area that everything else revolved around. I found that many of my experiences, the good and the bad, the unresolved pain and unexpressed bliss, stifled for whatever reasons at the time, were still there. They were waiting, needing healing, to come out, and to be expressed so I could move on. I needed a cleansing cry, a belly laugh, a way to process past events that were in the past which I didn't honor at the time. I was stuck and could not find an outlet for satisfaction. I believed the opportunities to deal with the ignored emotional events of my life were long gone and forever lost.

    I also made another major discovery. Events, like people, and things had an energy in the physical that had to be expressed. Sex was the strongest physical energy. The energy did not just go away, it always expressed somehow. The supreme power of love and sex and spirit could take the form of the unspent energy in whatever form it was and give it the outlet it needed to escape, to allow me to feel joy, grow and meet the divine.

    This Tantra course helped me complete my life to date and address the issues and lessons that needed to be processed in order for me to move on. I would have just kept coming back. It helped me reach a plateau of peace and knowledge and spiritual completeness that prepared me for my next step of growth. It showed me the beauty and power of divine sex and love and gave me the appreciation of these wonderful gifts as we reach for union with the divine. It gave me the path to follow to continue learning to love and to unfold in my purpose with that whom we call God and Goddess.
