Chapter 18. The Power of Surrender
Now that Leora feels she is reconnected with her ‘brothers in arms’ and her twin sisters, she feels as if the dark forces have vanquished, if even for a little while. The land flourishes and a sense of harmony settles over their Magical Kingdom. As all of them were going their own separate ways, connected by this invisible chain, Leonara knows she can call upon the Angels, depending on their different powers, she strongly feels they need Archangel Daniel at his most. She feels that without his presence, they would never be able to close the circle of peace.
As she closes her eyes and speaks his name, a warm light appears in the distance, and in his black-golden invisible shield Daniel steps forward. His smile is gentle, his eyes filled with boundless compassion. He embraces Leora, his love infusing her with a sense of completeness, a love that mends heartache and welcomes you home.
Suddenly a storm of energy swirls around them, as if they were standing in the middle of the battlefield, where the dark and light forces are clashing. They stand unmoved, radiating a quiet strength, waiting in the eye of the storm, until it calms down. Daniel doesn’t wield a sword or raise a shield. Instead, his hands are open, a silent invitation to accept whatever life or death will bring. Leora is doing the same, standing in front of him.
Daniel speaks with quiet conviction: “There is no victory here. Only peace… if we are brave enough to let go.” The dark forces pause, as if his words have struck something deep within them. They hold their weapons, but their grips falter, doubt flickering in their eyes. Daniel’s gaze is unwavering, meeting each shadow with compassion, his very presence asking them to yield, not in defeat but in reconciliation.
He feels that history is entwined with both struggle and beauty, with both separation and resilience. He knows that his path of surrender comes from his ancestors, who had to find peace in the face of hardship, holding onto their spirit and dignity. This act of surrender is not just for him, not only for his own ancestors and his family, but for all the families all over the world. Daniel is speaking out loud to the dark forces: “To surrender is not to lose, it is to let go of what divides us and find the peace that waits beyond.”
One by one, the dark forces begin to kneel, laying down their swords, letting them fall on earth. It’s not a gesture of defeat but one of release—a release of old anger, grudges, and scars. They are no longer bound to fight; they are free to find peace within themselves. This is the opposite of knighthood; they are not giving allegiance to a king but to a higher purpose, a truer calling that asks for unity, not dominion.
The battlefield falls silent, and Daniel and Leora are feeling a wave of energy passing over them, as if the very spirit of all their ancestors are there, witnessing this moment of peace. A gentle warmth fills the air, touching each heart, a reminder that even the deepest wounds can heal.
His heritage, his spirit, and his enduring strength are woven into this moment, giving it a significance beyond words. Leora embraces Daniel: “You’ve brought us the missing piece of peace, Daniel, peace for our souls”. As the dark forces kneel, a transformation begins. The earth beneath them shifts, the fractured ground mending itself, the sky above softening from its stormy gray to a warm, gentle blue. The darkness dissolves, not vanquished but embraced, accepted, and integrated into the balance of life.
In that very moment, Daniel’s gift of surrender ripples outward, as if touching every heart across the land and the sea. It’s like a wave of peace and understanding that has traveled through generations. It’s like a promise, a return to wholeness that honors the anchestors and connects it to the broader world. Daniel is whispering to the wind: “Let peace be my legacy, for all of us.” The spirits of his ancestors, lost souls who were filled with grief for all who have been fighting endless wars, were found again! They seem to nod in silent agreement, their presence palpable in the air, as if saying, “Yes, this is how we return to peace, this is how we can go home!’
As Daniel and Leora are still standing together, watching the last shadows disappear, they know their journey has come full circle, carrying the light of his heritage and the power of surrender to heal both his world and theirs. Slowly all their friends are gathering around them, dressed with this heritage and the power of surrender, shining with renewed purpose. Their children are laughing, just dancing and playing around in the grass. The legacy of their ancestors, once bound to sorrow, now pulses with hope, woven into the fabric of a restored world.
Chapter 19. The Power of Love
Daniel speaks to her of love’s enduring power, not only for others, but mostly for herself—a reminder that her journey requires her to embrace and nurture her own heart just as fiercely as she does others. “Loveis the root of strength,” Daniel tells her, “the seed from which all things grow. Love’s the best trick I’ve got, Leora. It doesn’t need rules; it just needs room to breathe.”
“But what if love hurts?” Leora whispers. “Then you know it’s real”, Daniel says with a grin. With Daniel’s love and laughter, Leora finally finds peace in her heart, she’d lost along the way. His presence fills the rest of their circle of friends with laughter, music and joy, giving them some air to breathe and connecting each soul in a way that defies boundaries, race and rules.
After a few days, Archangel Daniel appears again. He is leading her into a vision where they both stand on the sun-scorched plains of waste land cracked and dry beneath their feet. Above them, the sky stretches endlessly, a pale blue expanse crying out for rain. In the distance, a shimmering mirage begins to take shape—not of water, but of hope.
Leora turns to Daniel, her voice steady but filled with emotion. “How come some countries have too much water, with flooding streets and overflowing rivers—water that drowns instead of nourishes. Why can’t we share what we have too much of, with those who have too little? Why can’t we transport water to Africa, just as we transport oil and gas, through pipe lines?”
Daniel nods, his eyes reflecting the determination of someone who understands the balance of the world. “Water doesn’t belong to us. None of the elements do. Fire, earth, air, water—they’re gifts, meant to sustain all life, not to be bought, sold, or hoarded, and certainly not to be fought upon! Tearing Mother Earth apart, dividing and killing people for ages, leaving nothing to hope, or even to live for, is something that has to end, or else we all will be killed by the same elements.
Daniel suggests they can start a ‘peace offering ceremony’ by some sort of Rain Dance, sending the energy of water, through the air, the clouds and the rain, to wherever there is too much fire and drought. “This is more than just water,” Daniel says quietly. “It’s a peace offering. A way to wash away centuries of injustice, sorrow, sadness and imbalance, for all mankind. Together, they envision an intricate network of pipelines, not carrying oil or gas, but clean, life-giving water. The invisible pipelines stretch across continents, connecting the flooding rivers, sources and wells, into the seas, connecting the waters all around the world.
By being the first to offer this energy freely to the waters of the world, the rest of nature will follow, as nature is bound to follow its own course and cannot be controlled by mankind. People could only watch over nature in a sense of stewardship and responsibility. Just as the elements are freely given to all humans on earth, natural and spiritual leaders could be watching over and protecting each element, to make sure balance and harmony will be restored in time and to ensure their fair distribution.
In their joint vision, the pipelines are adorned with symbols of the elements: Fire, holds the energy of transformation, needed to make the rivers healthy and fresh again. Earth stands for the ground to traverse the pipelines, or the riverbeds needed to transport and hold the water. Air stands for the wind that cools and nourishes. The winds blow in their own different directions, carrying clouds and rain wherever it is needed, when the world is at ease, bringing more balance and harmony and people can take a breath of fresh air, relieved from all the hardship they had to endure, knowing the water is healed and is freely flowing as naturally as the blue veins of water and blood we all share.
Leora imagines the first flow of water bursting forth in an arid village, sparkling like twirling rainbows of water and energy, as it pours out of the ground, out of waiting basins, while clouds are starting to cover the heated wasteland, giving them some shadow and soon the first raindrops are falling. Children laugh and splash, their joy mirrored in the hopeful smiles of their parents. The smell of rain falling on the grassland and plants, —a scent that she hasn’t smelled for years, is surprising the little animals that start to move a little bit, until the birds in the trees begin to rejoice, happily whistling their little songs.
Chapter 20. The Power of Silence
The wind had changed. It wasn’t just the physical air, although the breeze now carried with it a strange weight, like the breath of something older than the world. It was in the way Leora and her son Samuel moved—like wanderers in their own skins, drifting without anchor, searching for a home, not made of bricks but of meaning.
They had walked many paths together, but this night, they barely touched the same ground. Disconnected. Displaced. As if their souls were facing different directions, speaking in languages that almost didn’t remember each other. “I don’t know where we belong anymore,” Samuel admitted under the broken starlight. “We belong in the becoming,” Leora whispered. “But I don’t know what that means yet. Remember, we will always be connected, no matter how far, or how lonely you might feel, just as we are connected to our family by heart, forever.
In the silence that followed, three words rose in Leora’s memory : protection, permission and power. Keywords to reclaim her own identity, to step outside the cycles—of drama, of karma and dharma—out of the cycle of action- reaction, out of the drama cycle of either being a victim, a rescuer or a follower, and into a different dance all together. “You don’t have to keep playing the part others wrote for you,” she told herself. “You have the right to edit. To reclaim the copyright of your own soul.”
Mistakes were no longer prisons she had to dwell in, but lessons to be learned, to be able to move on. The harder they were, the deeper they etched truth into her bones. Forgiveness wasn’t a denial of pain. It was a declaration of authority and autonomy: “I get to decide what story I live in.”, Leora said firmly to herself. And so, by speaking it out loud, she reclaimed her voice, her own truth. It was her birthright. Her own purpose in life. It was her own power, her own strength. Not power over others, but power to light up the darkness inside of her and the power to call out the truth.
21. The Power of Resilience
The journey they all had shared as fallen stars represented the roles they had to play here, the trials they endured, and the connections they forged. This is where they had to face challenges, grow through experiences, and interact with one another to bring that cosmic purpose into a tangible form. Their path reminded her of the cauldron, back in the days when so called witches were just medicine women making healing soup from medical herbs and vegetables. She taught about Thaddeus who was like an alchemist, putting different elements together and combining them with modern elements of ether, energy, light and power, as if he held the old secret of turning stones into gold. Actually he was making an elixir, like in a secret potion, as Olly had told her. “Must be Love potion number Nine, then”, Leora started dreaming, thinking of the ‘Sputnik’ drink she used to make with Olly and Bubba when they were childhood friends.
Through these experiences and journeys, they learned together and embody the qualities they were meant to bring into the world. It’s a journey that resonates with all. The longing to discover our purpose and fulfill it, while navigating the beauty and hardship of being human. This journey of characters wasn’t just theirs, but it seemed to be reflecting the universal quest we all feel—the longing to connect, to remember our purpose and to find our place among the stars while navigating through this world. They shared their longing to discover their purpose, to be able to fulfill it, while navigating the beauty and hardship of being human.
Leora’s journey ‘through the stars’ brings her closer to her true soul family, each one a missing piece of the cosmic puzzle, she didn’t even know she was assembling. She only knew they were more than just fallen stars. They were not meant to be kept away from society, feared for their visions. Like every other star, she felt that every child was born from heaven, every single one of them having their own light, their own godly given spark, their purposes and history entwined with each other. From their vantage point, Leora could see the pattern. They weren’t just bridges. They were portals of becoming.
And the fire? The fire had never been meant to destroy her. It had only ever wanted to reveal what could not be burned.
Chapter 22. Power of Healing
When meeting Daniel again, it seems as if the spirits of their ancestors, lost souls who were filled with grief for all who have been fighting endless wars, were found! They seem to nod in silent agreement, their presence palpable in the air, as if saying, ‘Yes, this is how we return to peace, this is how we can bring all the children home!’ As Daniel and Leora are standing with their friends, watching the last shadows disappear, they all know this journey has come full circle, carrying the light of their inheritance and the power of surrender to heal both the spiritual and the natural world.
Daniel brings with him a joy that feels like home. He’s a black-golden star of unconditional love, radiating warmth and humor even in the darkest times. Leora finds him a soul that understands her deeply, a reflection of her own search for purpose and belonging. He teaches her that love, when given freely, becomes a force that transforms everything it touches and he tells her about love’s enduring power, not only for others, but first of all for herself – a reminder that her journey requires her to embrace and nurture her own heart, just as fiercely as she does others. “Love is the root of strength, Leora, the seed from which all things grow.
The House of Healing was no longer bound between the invisible walls around the asylum, nor any other force that tried to separate them from each other. After the spiritual and magical Kingdom was restored, Leora and her seven brothers from the Pleiades were reaching a new level of unity, a wholeness that seemed to transcend any darkness that had come before.
Eventually, on a particularly starry night, all their friends and family would come together, feasting, eating and dancing, while the children would run around and play all night and were never sent to bed, because they just fell asleep in the grass or in an easy chair, when they were too tired to play. Their group of friends were sitting around a little fire, finding connection and healing in the shared silence, until Daniel breaks it with a smile and an unforgettable joke. Daniel’s love and laughter, fills their circle of friends with a peace of heart, they all had lost along the way. Together, in their own inner circle, they are not only connecting with their ancestors and soul family on earth, but their energy of unconditional love, happiness and music fills their whole constellation of stars, connecting each soul and each star in a way that defies boundaries and rules.
As they are staring in the flames of the little bonfire, they could ‘see’ the Magical Kingdom of fairy tales and wonderful imagination being restored, becoming a sanctuary of light, love, and peace. Leora and Samuel are feeling welcomed ‘at home’, for the first time in their lives. Through their connection, suddenly something else happens: their little chain of lost beads, of fallen stars, is somehow starting to connect to all the other families around the world!
As a cosmic family, they form a constellation of endless stars, bound across space and time, like every single person is like a star, a beacon of light in its own right. Now they were finally together, even though they could be physically separated from each other, through their spirit, they now knew they would always be connected. This invisible bond was stronger than any other and it became a radiant mystical light of wonders, appearing as the Aurora Borealis—or the Northern Light, a guiding force of the Great Spirit in the Sky, with the power to face anything.
This presence fills them with energy, light and power, with courage and readiness for the journey ahead. Leora knew that the challenges she still had to face, the darkness that was still waiting, would require everything they have, every spark of light and wisdom they carried. While still staring into the flames of the bonfire, they turned their gaze toward the next chapter of their journey.
Chapter 23. The Challenge
Daniel leads the way by inviting the dark forces to lay down their weapons and surrender. His ability to show the dark forces that true strength lies in surrender is a powerful message, embodying the theme of transformation through peace. As a conscious choice to release fear and ego, it underscores the story’s message of healing over domination.
The symbolic victory is one of understanding and unity, instead of a battlefield filled with aggression and despair. Each fallen star would share a gesture that speaks to their journey, revealing each of their unique powers, completing the circle by their invisible bond and therefore being able to restore the Magical Kingdom in an energetic and spiritual way.
As the stars begin to gather in the night, Leora senses a new purpose arising. She knows this is only the beginning of ‘the mystical mystery tour’ they are about to take, if they could only gather the other fallen stars and connect them once more. Not only would the chain of lost beads of sisters and brothers be reconnected on earth, all the stars in heaven would be connected as well, with a silver string, dancing along together to the eternal music of the Universe.
“The world is full of challenges Leora”, Thaddeus whispered: “Dark forces that threaten to undo the light we have found. The stars may have fallen, but together we can find the strength to rise and become a cosmic family again. Leora takes another deep breath, feeling prepared and ready to take the next step into the unknown.
Their place among the stars represented their higher purpose—the unique essence or legacy each one was meant to fulfill, a destiny that was aligned with something larger than themselves. This was their own soul’s calling or cosmic purpose, a future waiting for them to embody and discover. Each star seemed to hold a specific light, a message, or a gift that reflects their ultimate truth and potential in the universe.
On the other hand, their journey represented the roles they had to play here, the trials they endured, and the connections they forged. This is where they have faced challenges, grown through experiences, and interact with one another to bring that cosmic purpose into a tangible form. Their path is like a crucible, shaping them and refining their unique gifts and strengths. Through these experiences and journeys, they learn and embody the qualities they were meant to bring into the world.
