Embracing Each Moment in an Unknown Universe

Looking at the big picture, I see that the future of the world is utterly unclear. Our civilization and our shared reality hang by a thin thread. Yet at the same time, I also see that humanity is completely safe and protected. There is no cause for any alarm. But how can both these realities be true? Some nights I don’t sleep, wondering about this. However in the morning when the sun comes up, everything is fine. After my meditation, that is. Some say we are being manipulated in order to divide and separate us. Others say there’s a plan…

Lazy Days in Bali

These are beautiful warm days in Bali, Indonesia, where we are safe and enjoying life under lockdown. Bali has been quite free of coronavirus difficulty, thankfully. Here I’m sharing a few moments of our life. We hope to return to Bhutan when their quarantine requirements are relaxed a bit to allow easier re-entry. At the moment we would be forced to stay for 21 days in a hotel chosen by lottery, and not be able to leave the room, with 3-meals delivered and an in-room doctor visit daily, all provided gratis by the King of Bhutan. I guess we’ll wait…

Opportunity is Knocking in the Lockdown…

Greetings friend. I hope you’re taking excellent care of yourself. I send you blessings for resilience and wisdom in these important times. When things began to get “interesting” at first I was distracted. Then I was afraid. Then I started angrily researching the selfish perpetrators of evil and death. That turned into shock and depression. Then my mind arrived to acceptance and forgiveness. I began to bless all those who have been terribly misled and misused for centuries. We are each on a path of processing many emotions and experiences. It’s a daily journey. Then last Monday I had a…

The Truth Hits the Fan

The complex multiple layers of the coronavirus agenda have been largely hidden. Now it seems the truth is starting to come out. What we didn’t want to see, we are now being shown. We notice huge gaping holes in media spin, and some of the stories don’t hold together. The world is waking up to the truth. The cover-up is so sinister, it goes way beyond a conspiracy theory. This explosion of information is totally positive, as many people now have the time to do their own independent research. It is natural for any lie or fake reality to eventually…

Red Rice, Treasure of Health

Did you know that rice is the #1 primary staple food for half the world? Over 3.5 billion people depend on it for nutrition every day. So perhaps it is a good idea to study the best way to promote wellness with rice. I recently discovered that the first ancient ancestor of modern rice is said to have grown wild in the mountains of China. It was dark red and highly nutritious. About 10,000 years ago Oryza sativa seeds were first cultivated in Asia. This year we will probably consume about 500 million metric tons of rice worldwide. Colonial Hulling Machines Turned the Red…

Musings on our times – A channeled message from Srijana

A few days ago, I went deep into trance and asked a few questions. This is what came out. Please forgive that it is a bit rough. One of the questions I asked was “What is a virus?”. The answer really surprised me, and I’m still wondering what it means. I was told that a virus is essentially a tiny bit of DNA intended by nature to be a healing force in the human system and all of life. A virus is an evolutionary tool, like a catalyst and a clearing. Viruses are generally our friends. Viruses are constantly changing.…

Personal Note for the Week

On a personal note, Lama D and I are still in Kuta, the South peninsula of Bali. We’re in a simple home near the Nusa Dua Beach. We’re under limited lockdown so we can’t explore Bali as we hoped. So we stay at home, except for a daily walk around the area where we live. It is quite hot here, so we’re moving slow. We feel all the shifts and changes going on in the world. Things will never be the same. Such an exciting ride! Many of us are suffering cognitive dissonance, surprise, stress, and and financial uncertainty as…

Surrendering to the Life Stream in a Surreal World

The world is incubating in a quiet cocoon, and things feel a bit surreal. A part of me needs to understand what is happening, to research to connect the dots and see why and what. The other part of me feels a powerful surge of magnificence carrying the world into higher realms that we cannot comprehend. During the days at home, these two parts of me alternate back and forth. Some messages are coming in clearly, like what I should do each day, so I do that. However regarding what’s actually happening, my intuition comes up strangely incomplete, and I…

English Idioms and Jabberwocky Tongue Twisters During Lockdown

Lama D and his family asked me to teach them English idiomatic expressions. This beats worrying and wondering about the world. I sent them to the family on WeChat social networking and now they are studying on their cell phones.

Coronavirus lockdown begins in Bali, wondering what will happen…

This week a limited lockdown has started in Bali due to the coronavirus. Police are present and everyone is advised to stay inside. We had a chance to explore the island a bit, and now we remain at home. Fortunately we found an economical apartment in the southeast Nusa Dua area. We have a few local friends who are very helpful. We’re enjoying the warm weather. I’m ok with a simple life, living out of a suitcase. Exciting news! Lama D has a new website for his healing work. He calls it Tibetan Healing Massage, and his website is PowerDharma.com.…
