Wella wella wella, what interesting times that we all are living in.
Hello Everyone. Hope that life is not leading you by the balls (if you got 'em that is). The true hope is that you are not so caught up in the world's energy excitement and are able to sit back just a bit and observe everyone else going crazy.
Obviously this statement means that I would not be expecting the crazies to be reading this, ha ha ha. Or if you are caught up in the craziness, then the urge is that you step back and think about the idea that just because the world is crazy doesn't mean that you need to be crazy.
In the last 12 months I have managed to step on the toes of just about everyone that I know and alienate the relationship that I had with that person. The few remaining friends and I seem to operate at a different wave length than the rest of humanity. Please do not get from this that I think that I am better, or worse or anything but just plain old different. I have managed to almost always in this life time walk to the tune of a different drummer. It makes for a sometimes lonely time. But, since I created that loneliness, I do not complain (accept maybe to Spirit about "Why did I do this???" ha ha ha) to the people remaining around me as they are much the same.
So, what has caused this tirade of information about being different? I went to Oneness Blessing last week that is run by an old friend. We have had major problems for over a year and have patched broken and repatched many times. I was not going to give Oneness. I didn't know but she had decided at some point to charge Oneness Blessing Givers that didn't give...$20 to attend. I decided that I would leave. One of the other givers suggested that I ask her before doing so. She let me stay. I thanked her as I left and txted her later. No reply to the txt. (this story is not why I am writing this)
Tonight I went to another Giver's night. I arrived way too early. As I walk in I get a lecture about new rules to be applied to attendees. NO passing of wind, burping, talking about other than her stuff, dress code, etc etc etc. I left. What ever happened to Oneness? We are supposed to have gone through this training to help us all move to Oneness? Where has it gone? And both of these two have had what is called "deepening" sessions and are "improved" over us mere mortals that have only had the first level of training.
Something got lost in the translation me thinks.
Today earlier I was at Bullsbrook the place that I have been going to and getting peaceful mind blowing results of growth and learning. We were talking about how there are so many people setting themselves up as GURU's and that we felt that this was happening out of fear. And my feeling is that they are doing this because they are afraid of the losing income scenario that is playing out in the world. So, they are clutching supporting people to their own beliefs.
I also figured out that here in my homes west home, I am hiding from that weird and busy world that almost all else are caught up in. And that it has come about to save my own sanity and to show separation from the craziness that is abounding around me. I can sit here and observe that which is happening without getting caught up in the agendas of others. It is good.
Well, even writing this is tiring me and tomorrow I have a fairly busy day.
peace to all
May you be able to find your own sanity in these times.
Give me a call. I am always willing to listen.
peace

book one closes
Hello All,
I left the Buddhist Monastery at Serpentine on Friday arvo a day earlier than planned. It was a day of ceremony for the new Jhana Grove Meditation and retreat centre. Too many people for me.
As I was driving away I had a very clear knowing feeling that I was driving into a whole new way of life. Like reading a large book and you turn the page expecting the chapter to continue only to find the title, "BOOK 2".
There are so many ideas of directions of this new life in front of me that I cannot even find the words to write them. One big aspect of the new that I notice in opposition of what the old held.....I have a home that is mine thanks to the Australian Government Homes West program. I have been here near 10 years thinking all along that I would get ahead and on top of the program at some point. There have been many times I felt on top of the wave and in control only to get blown away again and again and again.
So, this port of a home is a solid basis to work from. It is not a bus and I have to admit I almost wish that it was due to the nostalgia of the last one, but it is a feeling of roots that I have not had since arriving here in OZ.
My health.....well, to look at me I am a picture of health. I am still as tall as I was when I hit 6'5" at 20 years of age. My weight is only 4 kilo heavier. Underlying that though I am no longer fit, nor what I would call healthy. I have some sort of a digestive disorder probably attributed mostly or greatly due to the Golden Staph cure of Vancomyacin in 1997. Vanco is the strongest antibiotic that is currently in wide use. It kills the super bug MRSA (golden staph). It also kills all the good bacteria in the gut. I have been weak ever since. And have never been able to be of strong physical health since. I did OK many times always to get knocked back at some point with some other bug.
I am working with Robert Beson of www.progurt.com.au who is the creator of a human strain bacteria for yoghurt. He is a fountain of knowledge of human health and has many years experience thinking out of the box. I got started on his product about 4 weeks ago with great expectations. Great expectations and no results. I called often for more instructions. Finally I got some blood work. LOW: Iron, B12, Vit D, Salt. It was a wonder that I am functioning as well as I have been. Low salt prevents the retention of water. Low B12 means that the hydracloric acid in the gut is insuficient to digest the food. Low Vit d and iron mean tired. All together.....pht.
Knowing what is wrong means I have a starting place to get the body back in shape again properly. A work in progress.
Spiritually, I know that as long as I don't think about not having employment, I do OK. I am on the Govt. dole. it is not enough to cover my expenses and I need influx of income asap. I have a few ideas and will work on them starting tomorrow. I have meetings later in the week with Centre Link to get their ideas too. There is a government program where they will send me to school for 3 months to learn how to operate a small business. Then I submit an idea and they will support me for a year more. I have an idea and we will see. I need to make at least $25,000 this physical year for tax purposes and that needs to be done between now and June 30.
I am excited about the possiblities of my future. I will as always keep all of you informed from this space.
Best wishes to all of you.
