Off to the university

Hello Friends,

Well, last evening I got off a quicky blog. Here is another.

After my return from Thailand I was without work for a few days. Supposedly there was this awesome position to be had that would be an easy bike ride towards the beach. Great pay etc etc etc. It never came through. I put out to Divine Grace that I start work on the following Wed. Back in early Feb. and ReadyWorkforce gave me a call for some interium work until this perfect job started.

I was to clear brush that had accumulated around this factory. The boss from over East was coming for a visit and they wanted to look pretty. Their groundsman had been put to work in the factory as they had gotten busier. so, I had 2 days to clean the place up. Well, it wasn't the hottest week we were to have for the month of Feb, but it was the hottest that we had had up to that point. I got permission to come to work at 6 am so to start the outside super in the Sun HOT jobs out of the way before it really got hot. Over all it still took 4 days to get the work done. At the end of the 4th day I went to see my friend Jon at ReadyWorkforce.

He bolted out of the office when he saw me coming through the window wanting to know what was wrong at the workplace???? I was startled and told him nothing was wrong, that the work was done and I was looking for more work. Well, lo and behold they decided that they liked my work style so much that they wished to hire me as a picker for the factory work and I would have on-going work at the same location. And a pay rise too.

So, now I am working almost exactly like I was at the IGA distribution, EXCEPT. I do everything at a snail's pace. No radio controlls, no seeing eye cameras watching my everymove. Friendly people that we actually take time to talk with one and the other. And, it is less than 2 k from my house. I ride to work every day. It take me about 6 minutes to get to/from work with the bike and about 10 minutes if I use the car.

I push a largish metal cart and pull orders for this company. It is Vinidex. They manufacture and re-sell all of everything regarding plastic PVC piping, telecommunications plastics tubing, joints, elbows and more stuff then I ever knew was available. Also, all of the everything that Telstra needs for their junction boxes (Ma Bell telephone of Australia). The biggest stuff I don't handle are some 45 Cm tubing that runs 20 meters long. I get the little stuff.

OK, so that is the work front. As some of you know, I am really getting into the Oneness Blessing movement. There is one evening per week that I attend, my massage therapist does Deeksha (Indian name for Oneness Blessing) and she also has every other weekend workshops. So, last week, from Thursday evening till Sunday evening I had had 14 times that I received the Oneness Blessing. Basically this shifts the individuals old patterns away from anger, emotional baggage, separateness from society. I have become a much calmer individual to say the least. I keep pointing people to look at the URL. Here it is again: http://www.onenessuniversity.org/oneness/cms/home/ You can learn much more here than anything that I can tell you at this time.

Though, I can tell you that I find it is my path for now.

About a year ago, Spirit channeled information to me that the path that I was on with the Spiritually Guided Healing was a great one and would really help out in my next life time Kharmically. Hmmm. I asked them what do you mean "next life time". They responded with the information that all the great Kharma that I was doing with this work though somewhat helpful for me now, would mostly be used in the next lifetimes. And that if I wished to work more toward the Buddhist concept of Enlightenment, that I needed to do different work.

So, I had already noticed that the healing was getting stronger, yet I was getting less clients and less people interested in learning how to do the work. Then life took an even more serious turn in that I truly felt . . . well there are several terms that come to mind: in an eddie (boating term), treading water, bidding my time, contemplating my navel, passing time, going nowhere . . . etc you get the idea. Life was on hold. So, again I asked Spirit, what's up.

Well, since you are so willing to do the work, and since you accomplished so much in this lifetime already there are a few other major things to work on. However, you got ahead of many of the people that you need to work with, so as you put it so nicely you are eddied out for a while. Sit quietly in this time, work, save money, sit quietly, meditate . . . the times are shifting for you to do something really great.

Well, over the last 2 years, I have been at 3 homes that have street numbers that add up to 7. This is for someone that needs to meditate, seeks quiet and studies. Well, after arriving at the third place, I have really restarted my meditation work. And since last November I got started in Oneness Blessing work. Around the first of the year, I felt that it was necessary for me to learn how to do the Oneness Blessing. I attempted to get into the last 21 day workshop in India, but never got a response from the emails that I sent. Then the program shifted to where now it is a 7 day process in Fiji. And, it costs less too. Before I left for India I sent off $450 for the application to go to Fiji and take the Oneness Blessing level one workshop. Just before I left I got the paperwork and filled out the app. And the day before I left I got the word that I was accepted. Then off to Thailand and somehow saving money too, ha ha ha. So, what did I do . . . ordered the new bike right, ha ha ha. Nothing like trusting the Universe to get me to Fiji.

The Oz Dollar to the US dollar was sluggish in early Feb. Last week we turned bullish and my friend Isha called and urged me to scrape the funds together and get my payment made. I called one client who had offered to forward me some funds if I needed help. On Tuesday he brought $200. I cleaned out my savings down to .91 cents, took all the cash I had on hand, and the borrowed and just was able to scrape the funds together to pay US $4395 for the workshop. Came all up to $4780 OZ. This is the largest payment I have ever made for something for personal growth. Afterwards I had $261 left in the checking account to live on for a week and rent yet to be made, ha ha ha. Wednesday evening a great friend/client came by and wanted 1 1/2 hour massage. That and some bits more cash made rent, yehah! (more on this meeting in the next blog)

Needless to say I still wished to continue with my weekly sessions with Isha so I pulled out a $100 to go with the few bits and bobs of cash that I had to get my session. When I got my reciept, something weird was going on, Bank said I only had $2.58 left though there is a balance of $158 showing. Oh well, another mystery for Monday to sort.

So, I have committed to my new path with virtually all the cash that I have to my name at this point. Oh of course the CC is near max. It has enough room left to pay for the airline ticket I hope, ha ha ha.

When I viualize my future as I do often, I have in the past always seen ideas just popping up everywhere and everywhich way. Now, there are ideas only for the short term. When I attempt to look long term all I sense is that I am sitting in a room that is farily bare of anything of note. Across the way there is an open door that I am approaching. The door is open and brilliant white light is showing through. What ever it is, it will start on 3 May when I get started into the Deeksha.

Many people leap into life with a life raft or some other safety net. It has never been my way. I can assure you that this life style has been stressful for all of my past wives and girlfriends. And, I suppose for my friends too.

Well, I am off to the Oneness University with no parachute.

YEHAH!!!!

Keep in touch

5 kilos lighter after Thailand and I am flying

Hello friends,

I know its been a while. Much happening since I got back and I will hopefully write a bit over the next couple of days as we have a 3 day weekend here in Perth this weekend. Labour Day, YEHAH!

Thailand as most of you have read was a great excitement for me. I needed the rest after my last job which was a mind and matter bender of great import. The massages were awesome and the food . . . wow the food was so fresh and so cheap. Just walk out of the hotel where I was staying and walk up to the first street vendor and for less than or close to a dollar get a massive amount of fruit to eat and eat and eat. which is what I did every day. I did do some great fish meals too.

Now, the title to this blog says that I lost 5 kilos . . . well, that is a bit of a mis-nomer as it wasn't me that lost it, however, I no longer was carrying it either, ha ha ha. Before I left for Thailand I ordered a new bicycle. My first major purchase here in OZ, and the first new bike since about 1988. A lot has happened in that time. Shifting is well and truly off of the down tube, 10 speed cassets instead of 7 speeds. Smaller chain rings because of the tiny cassetts 11 tooth sprokets. And worst though was that I could no longer get my size bike. I ride a 66 x 58 and the closest that I could get was a 60 cm X around 58 cm. 3 inches smaller. Hubs have sealed bearings, Aluminium frame with carbon fibre forks and seat post.

So, the first ride was like coming out of a MACK truck into a Ferrari. The 5 kilos was the weight difference between my old steel frame hand me down from Jenny's Deceased Husband and the new bike.

So, the 5 kilos in and of themselves really helped. BUT, the weight diff in the tires and wheels make an awesome diff in going up hill or in a sprint. The shifting in my opinion can make a fast rider much faster and a poor rider a lot better. Where before I might shift once in 3-5 k over rolling terrain, now I am constantly shifting to get the optimal work out of the motor (me).

When my friend George saw the bike, he bemoaned the fact that now that I am lighter that he wouldn't be able to keep up. Well, neither of us are sure how, but the new bike has lifted both of our games a lot. We upped our average a full 2 kilometers for our Saturday morning rides. He is flying and that is truly awesome for a 75 year young man. We do have fun passing the young ones, he he he. Of course they often blow past us so fast we look like turtles spinning on the tops of their shells.

OK, this was just a quick one. More later this weekend. Off for an open house and free Oneness Blessings.
