YAY!! I'm not crazy!!

2011-10-08T01:12:00.000-07:00

When I was in France in January of this year (2011), in a lovely little village called Salles, working as a volunteer on Fitz & Ann's small farm, I began "hearing" a certain sound. It was only my 2nd night there so I reckoned it must be a farming activity at the neighbour, or possibly a quarry and left it at that. However in the next few days, the "hum" became more intense and I struggled to identify where it was coming from. I asked my hosts if they heard it but, being more pragmatic and less inclined to spiritual/supernatural things, they didn't pay much store to me and my things!!

Whilst not a negative or disturbing experience, I was intrigued. I became more so when I went to another village about 80kms away and found that the sound had followed me. Even more so when I "took" it with to Lisboa and ultimately back to South Africa. I must admit even though I have heard it here quite often, the intensity is not as much as in Europe.

I discussed this on a forum while I was still in France and had some interesting responses. The sound of angels, the vibration of the Inner Earth, Gaia's heartbeat and more. Not many people had experienced the "hum" but many felt it to be a spiritual phenomenon. I have had my fair share of unexplained, supernatural encounters so I was not freaked out, but rather just surrendered it and trusted that I would receive whatever information I needed to understand and process it.
I haven't heard the hum in a few weeks and had sort of put it out of my mind...and then today I came across a vid that shared how the phenomenon is increasing...there are even support groups as many people are negatively affected by it, its intensity driving them dilly.

So if there are any other Taos Hum Hearers out there, I would love to hear from you. For those that think we have lost it, read more here......and hey, maybe we are crazy!!!

no words....simply mind-blowing

Take a look

This is the dawning of the Age of Integrity

2011-10-07T08:27:00.000-07:00

The Wall Street Occupiers - how can one NOT stand with them ... we only need to look at the corruption in our own country...how the desperately poor and disadvantaged have been sold down the river with false promises, while the fat cats get fatter ... the age of integrity is upon us.

What is happening all over the world is as a consequence of elitist greed and the poor suffer even more. Those that are against greed are not "fringe" groups as many would like us to believe. Don't be a sheeple, take action, strong lions.

Please stand united against corruption by signing the Avaaz petition

Elenin...So What Do YOU Believe??

2011-08-05T13:48:00.000-07:00

The buzz around Elenin, Niburu, Planet X has reached almost frenzy levels. I started investigating Wormwood, of the Holy Bible in about 1994. Since then, and in particular over the last few years many other accounts from various sacred texts and messages through the Spirit of G-d have come to me. There truly is just SOOOOO much happening at the moment that ties in with the prophecies of many sacred texts...one has to be a half-wit not to see that things are hotting up in many scenarios. This is not a declaration of the end of the world but it is certainly a wake-up call for those who still slumber. I have always said to people with whom I share my beliefs and who do not believe as I do "You must take what I give you, seek wherever you are led for your own confirmation, use discernment, wisdom and your inner compass...if I am "wrong" and it's all hogwash, then fine...the laughs on me, and maybe in this case you will have enough food and water for 6 months!! BUT if what I believe is true, the consequences for you are dire and the suffering could be immense: emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually.

My friend Jerry Thornton (we both belong to the Keys of Enoch and Academy of Future Science Facebook groups) shared this today. Please do your own research - there is much information as well as disinformation. At the end of the day I celebrate being here at this time - it is the time to which we were called, to participate - the how is still your choice! My prayer for all mankind and our planet is that we connect with G-d and align ourselves to the Divine Purpose.

So thanks to Jerry for putting so much of what I was working on these last few weeks into a very good commentary, he saved me so much further work!! Here it is, with my own highlights in purple to make selective reading easier!!

I truly value your comments so please add them here, follow me if you like (I would love that, it encourages the artist to work!!) and if you find yourself in a place of fear or in need of healing, I am there for you - just mail me lee@lifespace.co.za.

Critical Earth Changes
July-Dec 2011

Date of this Report August 5, 2011

Important please see these videos first before reading!!

911!!! NEW! 32º of Insanity : 8.4.11 - Nibiru, ELENIN, Neumeyer Station, SOHO/STEREO

This report includes many sources, and I do not claim it as my own. My conclusion is my own opinion. It is your responsibility to do your own ‘Due Diligence’ and to make your own determinations. When you do your research, you will find that there are many detractors on the internet. It’s important to keep an open mind and to realize that there are those who may purposefully propagate false information and stories to create even more confusion and chaos and to keep us from realizing the truth. However, I believe that the earth changes and other facts presented here are indisputable. Those of you who think that these earth changes are ongoing and continual are seriously underestimating the urgency of the current situation. Presently, there is a huge increase in solar, earthquake, and volcanic activity, along with the ongoing disarray of global economic downturns. As of this writing, the US stock market is on its tenth straight day of losses and all of this year’s gains have been completely wiped out – more than a trillion dollars’ worth - 1.3 trillion, to be more exact. This is the ninth greatest loss in the history of the stock market. Not only is the United States having major fiscal issues, but many other world markets are in very serious economic trouble as well. The Euro is at risk of failing. In fact, according to the news the world has never seen such pervasive global economic disarray.

There are other shocking changes as well. For example, the 400 year old tradition of the Dalai Lama officially ended as of March 9th 2011 when the Dalai Lama resigned and announced that he will not appoint a successor. The entire worldwide Buddhist community is in disarray, as they considered him a living god. They are atheist, and their “god” is no more. Ironically, this information has not received any mainstream news. It was not even a blip on the world news markets. Also, the crisis at Fukushima is ongoing and mainstream news agencies have suppressed some extremely unusual activities surrounding this tragic event, (although, I am now convinced that these activities have been somewhat routine for millennia). I know that you will find this to be as amazing and surprising as I have, but you will have to judge for yourself when you see the videos with your own eyes. Although we are accustomed to hearing about UFO’s, and most of us are intelligent enough to realize that with billions of galaxies in the universe we are likely not alone, there has never been any kind of official announcement to humanity verifying any encounters. Well, apparently there are authentic videos of unprecedented UFO activity present over the atomic plant and before, during, and after the tsunami. However, you can only find this info from Chinese and Japanese news sources. In addition, there is an increase in recorded UFO activity over Jerusalem as well. NASA has also failed to reveal the massive amount of UFO activity on various Apollo and space shuttle flights which has been stored in their archives. Also, it is not a coincidence that there are no more space shuttle flights and that the space station has been abandoned at this time. Have you ever really asked yourself why? There have been massive cover-ups by NASA to prevent our exposure the truth, but fortunately some of it has leaked out for our edification. Eighteen months ago, NASA erected an infrared observatory in the South Pole to observe a celestial body that can only be seen via infrared. It has been postulated that this object has, and will continue to affect this planet, and this information has been exposed by the Russian government.

Why is NASA so afraid to reveal all of this information? I believe, along with many others, that an array of UFO’s is arriving from all over the universe to observe an impending, evolutionary, global shift in consciousness - a monumental event with far-reaching consequences. Many crop circles have clearly indicated that they are here and waiting for the shift on this planet. In fact, Carl Sagan was the expert who was asked to create a message to be sent out to space, and many are aware of that event taking place. But did anyone ever mention to you that we had received an answer? Furthermore, there’s a great amount of Jewish, Indian, and other prophesy which has been fulfilled leading us to the season of what has been called by some as the Day of Purification. This is not to say that it is the end of the world, and do not make that kind of assumption. It is only to say that there are more than enough earth signs and prophesies to recognize that a New Earth is about to emerge. We are only weeks away from the holy number of seven billion souls living on this planet, and that coupled with other celestial events help to indicate that this is a season of change.

It is up to you to determine in your heart what you should do, for the current path of the earth is clearly unsustainable and unconscionable. Man has passed the point of no return and there is no rectifying these errors at this point. When one percent of the population controls 99% of the world’s wealth, and millions of people are starving on this abundant planet, (as has most recently been graphically highlighted by the tragedy in Somalia), it is easy to understand the dire necessity for change from this insanity. Timely changes will certainly come quickly and such changes are now out of the control of man. This is not a time to create more wealth, work on careers, or buy bigger homes. Rather this is a time to contemplate our individual responsibility in creating this situation and its untenable and unconscionable nature. It’s a final opportunity to change our hearts and minds, our consciousness, so that when the new earth emerges we will be prepared as well.

Those who give lip service to G-d will find themselves in a quandary. The choice is quite simple, will we bury our heads and hearts in the sand ignoring all of the signs and continue full steam ahead with making money or advancing careers and act if nothing is ever going to happen, or will we do a 180 degree about face, stop being in denial, and break the illusion that we can consume more than we need, turn our hearts to the Divine and make amends. This is truly a time for contemplation and soul searching. There is a reason that the Dalai Lama has stepped down and said these words, “The day of kings is over.” There is something new on the horizon, and he must know it. He has always been highly regarded as an intelligent, pious, balanced, wise, and holy man. So the fact that he has peacefully relinquished his exalted post and is spending this time as a meek monk in deep meditation, prayer, and ritual at this most crucial of times in history is something to truly ponder.

Please use your own good common sense and discernment when searching your hearts and minds for the truth. I only ask that you read and study all of this information in its entirety before making any final determinations or before taking any actions, including offhandedly dismissing everything as invalid.

EARTH’S SECOND MOON APPEARS! http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines/21481/earths-second-moon-appears/

******************************************************
In November 2010, a comet was purportedly discovered by a Russian astronomer. I am not a conspiracy theorist, however the community at large believes that NASA had already known about this comet, but did not show it on charts, thus the Russians exposed it. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is responsible for tracking all outer space objects and has named this comet C/2010/X1. It is currently being tracked. The space community has named it ELENIN.

You can see the projected path of the comet here, but it would be best to review the following link after you have read this entire report first. http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=elenin;orb=1;cov=1;log=0;cad=1#cad It is important to note that this planet will not hit the earth. This is not the issue. In fact, it will be almost 22 million miles away when it reaches its apogee to the Earth on Sept 26, 2011.

There are several anomalies with this comet that both NASA and the Russian Space Center cannot explain.

Dr. Mensur Omerbashich from Cornell University has authored a very critical paper proposing direct scientific evidence that earthquakes of 6+ magnitudes, including the 8.8 Chilean earthquake and the 9.2 Japanese earthquake, occurred during very specific alignments of Elenin and other celestial bodies. Please see “Astronomical Alignments As Cause of ~M6+ Seismicity.” Here is a link to Cornell University and the paper.
On March 9, 2011 a full two days before the Japanese 9.2 earthquake that occurred on March 11, 2011, a warning was given to Japan of an impeding earthquake by a noted astrophysicist. It was clear that comet ELEnin was going into alignment and the probability of a large earthquake could occur. The Japanese Government failed to warn their people and 23,000 people died. Elenin was 2.55 A.U away from the earth at that time. When it reaches apogee on September 26, 2011, it will be much closer, only .23 A.U away from the Earth (although, at the time of this writing, I believe that this figure has actually been revised and that it is expected to be even closer than that), and it will also be in full alignment with the Sun. It is at this point that the poles are expected to be reversed and massive solar flares are expected to be headed to earth. This alignment will trigger much greater electromagnetic forces on the earth than experienced during the March 11, 2011 alignment. This is a VERY important video: BIG eathquake to come!! Get away from the Fault Zones!!
NASA, The Russian Federal Space Agency, and many astronomers have noticed that Elenin does not follow a predicable path at times like all other planets and space objects. In fact, it has slowed down at times and then sped back up. These varying speeds are not at all normal and thus these movements throw off the calculations of the predicted path. All of these agencies have had to adjust their charts to keep with Elenin.
NASA has said nothing publicly about this very unusual behavior, but The Russian Federal Space Agency has said that they believe this comet is being intelligently controlled. The Russian government is far more advanced in remote viewing that the U.S government. Those remote viewers have indicated that there is a brown dwarf star behind Elenin. They further stated the comet must be either an artificially created object on a natural orbit or a natural object on an artificial orbit.
It appears that NASA has blacked out the area where Elenin is at. Thus hiding what is behind it. Brown dwarf stars can only be seen under infrared. Check out Google Sky.
Currently magnetic North is known to be RACING at 40 miles per year towards Russia and it is increasing in speed daily. It rarely even moved in the past 100 years prior. The former theory that the earth’s iron core is causing this shift is inaccurate. It appears that Elenin is creating this change as it is trying to make the earth orbit around it, rather than the sun.
The Russian government is at this time trying to finish building 5,000 underground shelters in Moscow because of this threat.
ELEnin may not be just a comet. It is a dwarf brown star.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are coming faster and faster and stronger and stronger as Elenin approaches the Earth. Please see the links below for the U.S. government’s official monitoring websites.
The aquifers in Florida and Texas were moved for several hours when the alignment points were hit. Such a force could only come from an object of tremendous mass.
The Yellowstone and New Madrid Calderas lava flows are active and are getting hotter and hotter. The USGS has installed monitors at Yellowstone. NASA has issues a warning to their employees and it is assumed that the calderas will blow. Edgar Cayce's map indicates that both of these Calderas will blow and reshape the coastlines. According to this map, most states to the west will no longer be there. The U.S. Navy has a new map with the new coastlines that looks like a synthesis of the I AM America map and Cayce's map.
Edgar Cayce has indicated that the end of times will start when Iceland’s volcanoes begin erupting. That just occurred on July 11, 14, 15, 2011. Check this link.
In California, over 70 earthquakes have been recorded since Thursday July 14, 2011. This is known as a swarm of earthquakes and the USGS indicates this is a precursor to volcanic activity. The Yellowstone Caldera may blow soon. This is a 1000km super volcano that when fully erupted will allow water from the Pacific Ocean to fill that entire region as indicated on both the Cayce and I Am America maps. California and other Western states will possibly be no more.
Sept 26, 2011 will be a strong alignment point for comet Elenin (as stated earlier, it will be .23 A.U, or less, away from Earth at that point) and we will see a huge increase in earthquakes. It is feared that Japan will be no more by Oct/Nov. They were hit with another 7.3 on Sunday July 10, 2011 as a further sign to those that can hear to move out. Alaska was hit 2 weeks ago and a huge quake hit off the coast of New Zealand on the July 6. (In fact, several…). This is a very important warning video.
7,500 earthquakes hit shattered New Zealand city

Here are real time earthquake monitors from the USGS (United States Geological Service). Please review and see the large increase of 5+M earthquakes. The planet is increasingly becoming unstable as ELEnin comes into alignment.

Monitor Solar Activity

******************************************************
Please remember: It is possible that none of these scenarios will occur, but it is highly unlikely that NONE of them will occur. Therefore, it is out of the GREATEST ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, that it is recommended and necessary to be at least 250 miles from the coast and between 650ft, and no more than 2000ft, in altitude. As far as locations are concerned, the Rockies are too close and too high to the Yellowstone Caldera, if it blows, to be safe. The East coast is not safe either because if the nuclear power plants are damaged, they will spew radioactivity all up and down the Eastern Seaboard, just like happened in Japan.

Once the poles begin their movements, the oceans may begin to slosh around and water may go up quite high onto land - perhaps as high as 1,000 feet or more. It is assumed that the U.K., Western Europe, and Island nation of the Republic of Ireland will be overrun with water. It is predicted that the water could go as high as the Swiss Alps before it settles out and the terrain resembles the Cayce, I AM America, and other maps of earth changes that have been given to humanity.

It is interesting to note that in the The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch, by J.J. Hurtak, it is written that the pole reversal would occur when the solar flares hit the electromagnetic field of the earth, which could occur when Elenin comes into alignment in late Sept 2011.

It appears that we actually live in a binary solar system, and this brown dwarf star is actually our Sun’s twin that orbits every 36,000 years.

There is substantially more information available, but I feel this is more than enough for an overview. Call with your questions and if I can answer them I will. This situation is dynamic and fluid and you can expect changes to occur on a daily basis with new information being revealed to confirm what is believed to be happening. This whole event is intimately linked to the consciousness of humanity as we move towards unity consciousness, and anything is possible as the new earth emerges.

Many feel that the earth changes are at a very critical level NOW and it is crucial to prepare. In an abundance of caution, many believe that everyone in Florida, and most areas of both coastlines of the U.S. and Europe, should seek a safe place till at least late Dec 2011. These events have been covered with physical sciences, spirituality, and what our ancestors have told us about the past.

This information has been provided so that you can make comprehensive decisions, and it is lovingly recommended that you do the most diligent and timely soul searching possible to find your answers. Gd bless you and your families as we all are in this together!!!

I "came across" this today....don't you just love synchronicity...it is prevalent wherever I go!!

Compassionate Strangers Take Up 9-year-old's Cause for Charity after Accident

Aimee Herd (August 1, 2011)

"I am in awe of the overwhelming love to take my daughter's dream and make it a reality. In the face of unexplainable pain you have provided undeniable hope." –Samantha Paul

Rachel Beckwith had a very benevolent birthday wish after learning of the plight of so many in third-world nations where clean drinking water is a luxury; Rachel wanted people to donate to the Charity: Water instead of giving her presents.

According to The Lookout article, Rachel wrote, "I found out that millions of people don't live to see their 5th birthday. And why? Because they didn't have access to clean, safe water so I'm celebrating my birthday like never before. I'm asking from everyone I know to donate to my campaign instead of gifts for my birthday. Every penny of the money raised will go directly to fund freshwater projects in developing nations."

Her goal was to raise $300.00 for the charity through a page that she posted on the internet. When her June 12th birthday arrived, she had only raised $220.00, so she reportedly closed the donation page.

Then, last week, Rachel was in a terrible car accident in Bellevue, Washington that involved 13 other vehicles. She was on life support for a time before she died.

It was Rachel's pastor, Ryan Meeks who decided to pick up where the compassionate child had left off; he brought up the page and told about it on Eastlake Community Church's website, linking to it so people could donate.

They did.

At the time of this writing there have been over 11,500 donations totaling $432,750. Some have written notes to Rachel on the page. (CLICK HERE to go to Rachel's page)

Rachel's mother, Samantha posted a response to the incredible outpouring…

"I am in awe of the overwhelming love to take my daughter's dream and make it a reality. In the face of unexplainable pain you have provided undeniable hope. Thank you for your generosity! I know Rachel is smiling!" she said.

Time really is flying....

2011-07-31T15:09:00.000-07:00

Where do I start??????? This is really like the MOST important thing I have to do now. Yes, I need to work on my newest project, so that it can start rolling and I can start earning an income. Yes, I really need to trim down my voice-over scripts to 45 seconds each so that I can record a demo and send it off so that I can start doing the work to earn money.

But in the bigger scheme of things......what I share with the ones I love is WAAAAAY more important. So here goes....

You know that I have been on quite an intense spiritual journey for many years. In the last 10 years I have also had a shaking up, a time of deep questioning of the spiritual practice in which I was involved...and some of my answers caused conflict. And so I seek more...deeper....

Wait!! Let me start at the end...that way you get to hear what I believe is crucial for NOW!

Life as we know it is changing, has been for some time and is going to be very different in the near future. Even if you are not "aware", spiritually conscious, "tuned-in", a believer, or whatever term you wish to use, you must surely have noticed that it's not like it was, even a few months ago. Way back when, I can remember the old folks commenting on how time flies. I thought it was an "old folk" thing! Nowadays even the teenagers notice that time is flying by. Here is an explanation I believe...it's the Schumann Resonance, or what many describe as the Earths' heartbeat. Here is a great article that really rings true for me, and might do for you as well ~ Zero Point & Schumann Resonance. For those that also prefer to do their own investigating, read more about SR on Wiki - here's the link to save you time....it is fleeting, after all, according to Frank 'n Furter ~ Wiki on SR

Speaking of the Time Warp...the lyrics are so appropriate now, and it's astounding!!!

More later, folks

p.s. this is the perfect place to include one of my favourite one-liners

Time is fun when you're having flies ~ Kermit the Frog

:)

AS WITH EVERYTHING YOU READ HERE AND ELSEWHERE, PLEASE USE DISCERNMENT. DON'T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND, ASK AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU.

I CANNOT WAIT ANOTHER DAY!!

Starship Regenesis Captain's Log 31 July 2011...it's nearly a year since my last entry....I, like Captain Jim Kirk, Dr Spock, Scotty, Uhuru & Bones have been "boldly going where no man has gone before" on this journey of discovery. There have been unexplained twists and turns, huge challenges, mind-blowing experiences and so much to share.

My last entry here birthed a travel blog where you can follow all my shenanigans of the last year. Take a look at Gypsey Lee's musings. I embarked on a Divinely orchestrated 6 week trip to Portugal, which became an 8 month journey of discovery (within and without), learning, trusting, teaching. I was taken into a deeper place with my Creator, experienced miracles and great joy in ordinary things.

I saw so many threads of the wonderful tapestry of my life, being woven together intricately in a burst of colour and subtle nuances of emotion. It is a an amazing work in progress and I am so excited to be able to share with those who find it.

Since my reluctant return 4 months ago - only because I fell in love with Portugal and her people, especially life in the Serra di Estrela, the magnificent mountains of the central region - I have felt that my life is both a roller-coaster ride and a marathon run in Jello!! Do you feel me?? And I am not the only one having these experiences....some more than others. And of course, there are the Sheeple who are blissfully unaware of pretty much anything except the day to day drudgery....or even worse the Ostri-Sheeple, who choose to see or hear nothing...woe is he.

Wait!!! I have such crucially important thoughts to share with you, so let me end the blah blah here and get to the marrow of these scrumptious bones.

The sense of urgency that I have had since 2006, in particular, has escalated to such an extent that I just cannot waste another moment! There is great change afoot, and it's on a fast-track. If I have created within you, a desire to seek more, go deeper within (for that is where all we require resides), connect with your Creator and to help you remember who you are and from whence you came, then I am happy! There is much more to follow ... in manageable bite-sized chunks!!

Hey, and to my followers - THANK YOU!! I haven't given you much to follow in the last while, but don't leave now, please!! The party is just starting and it's going to be a ripper!!!

life unfolds as it must ~ Lisboa 28 Aug

2010-10-08T01:38:00.000-07:00

well boom! is a thing of the past and the next phase of my journey has begun.
The beauty of my experience, especially in last 2 years, is that I am learning a
great lesson in trust....taking life a day at a time and even, on occasion, an hour
at a time...it is exhilarating, challenging and gratifying.  With no planned way to
get out of boom!, which is about 60km from nearest town (small villages nearby),
and lift opportunities dwindling rapidly, I only had my thumb, legs and smile to
help me and they sure did the trick...caught a lift in a vehicle with Inez, going to
Lisbon and with my baggage in Johanna's van!  The day before I went back to my
tent to contemplate the options, wondering how I was going to lighten my load so
that I would be more free to travel to remoter places...within 3 minutes Bilal, one
of the healers came and chatted, offered that I could use his home in Lisbon as a
base to leave things and come and go from there as required!!  He arrived like an
angel (which he is!!). And so all our needs are met.  We arrived at about 7pm and
he came through to collect my excess stuff...he helped me with directions etc to a
backpackers in the centre of old Lisbon.  I was going to board the Metro thought I
must check if bed still available and it wasn't??!!  Eish, that would have been hectic
to arrive there so late with no place to sleep..I called Bilal and he graciously helped
again..came back, tried to find alternate accommodation, but none, so I slept over at his
place - like a 5 star hotel after 2 weeks of rough camping.  He has been soooo
gracious and kind...life is amazing when one´s heart is right.

It´s a WOW!!! for me.  So today I weigh up all the options....look for WWOOFER
farmwork opportunities, possibly teaching English here or in Spain, may meet up
with another friend who is going to work in the Pyrenees, visit some eco-villages,
go to a very remote farm in the north of Portugal where Sophie lives and works...
it´s great.  But the best of all is that I have been offered to house-sit in Sintra - a
deeply spiritual area north of Lisbon - it is the place where royalty used to go for
the summer holidays - amazing castles and villas - the original home of the Knights
Templar here in Portugal, so it is steeped in mysticism and legend.  I have full
access to Valentina and Francois´home - she was the manager of the healing area @
boom and they will be staying there to breakdown structures or going to Italy for a
few weeks.  I basically just need to air the place as it can become damp - lots of
mist most of the time - you know me and that kind of weather - and feed the 2
chickens!!!  Whoopeeeee....so might just hang there for 3 weeks...or months!!!

BOOM!! BOOM!! BOOM!! 12 - 28 August 2010

2010-10-04T09:34:00.000-07:00

OH MY WORD!! What a place....it is just quite magical. A stunning lake, the most inspiring creations and a ragged band of wonderful eclectic people that I will share space with over the next 3 weeks. I set up home in Thelia's 1-man tent just outside the main backstage camp.

Boom is an incredible experience....lots of hard physical work....so Marjo our months of not getting to ride bike\walk as often as we want to were a hidden blessing!!! I made up for that in the 1st week at boom!! Lots of hard walking and heavy physical work!! Working in very high temps was at times unpleasant (42 one weekend), but then I could just stroll down to the stunning clear lake and take a dip whenever required....have a very good almost all-over tan!!! The only down side of boom for me, and most of the people I spoke to was that it started as a trance party way back when, but has evolved into more organic music and healing as well. However the trance music permeates through everything and you cannot get away from it, even if you had a peaceful meditation in the Pudja tent - it was still there. So quality and quantity of sleep seriously affected. The last 2 nights were bliss though - only the sounds of nature. All the stuff that was happening was incredible - workshops on raising our awareness, consciousness, connecting more with the Creator, wonderful healing therapies - I had a Watsu session which was a profound experience. I have made friends with some incredible people and have invitations to visit them all over.

There is much activity at Boom...lots to do..time running by fast. I work with Tiago mostly, and Valentina...getting bios of the 35 odd healers together. Who would have thought that I would travel to Boom and be sitting behind a PC again!! Monkey shows his tricks...but I didn't...it just happened that way. Some days I really need to escape from the heat of the container and the machine...then I go off and help Thelia with her mind-blowing creations...what talent.

We have the most delish raw food restaurant and a wonderful team supplying the good food...thanks guys...Suzanna, Hugo, Matilde and those whose names I never got...you are stars.

Some days are really hard but there is always some peace to tap into...until the festival starts.....DARN IT!!! The trance music from the main dance floor permeates through everything...there is just no escape...and there is is Anti-Boom as well....the rebels that felt the need to counteract Boom??? Weird stuff!! I eventually resort to Prestik in my ears. I just can't handle the energy that was at the main dance area...not in my body an definitely not in my spirit. And I wasn't the only one.

Sacred Fire next door has much cooler music...live..organic..more pleasing to the soul. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??!! I get to see Ganga Giri live....now that was a WOW!!!

Boom and all that it is is just quite awesome....I felt I was living in Mad Max and the Thunderdome visiting Stargate!!

Caceres 11 & 12 August 2010

2010-10-04T09:29:00.000-07:00

What a beautiful town! It is so old, with amazing castles and little cobbled streets. I just love it! (But then it seems that i just love every place I go to!!). I am spoilt...Raine treated me to a night in a "proper" hotel...quite delightful after bunk beds in the backpackers...I have my own bathroom, a TV and an airconditioner! Thanks sweetheart!!

Spend most of my time just wandering through the many winding streets. I see a beautiful leather backpack but decide not to buy it as I am on a tight budget until I get a feel for the flow of money! I am regretting still...darn...but I believe the leather goods in Morocco are even better in quality and price...so I accept that.

Yaaay!! Thelia has materialised the vehicle...we find each other in the town square...what a joyous meeting...much shouts of delight and hugs.

And off we go...in the car of lovely elf, Sofie...life is a treat!!

Madrid 10 August 2010

2010-10-04T09:13:00.001-07:00

Madrid is a stunning city...I love everything about this part of the world. The tappas bars are everywhere....4 or 5 in a block. Of course the bloodhound in me sniffed out a few really good fresh food markets. I brave the Metro and travel back and forth, just getting a feel for the city. It's awesome to feel so safe...alone, at night...no problem. Viva a libertad!!

Synchronicity is very apparent in my journey....I chose a tappas bar to try out my 1st Spanish meal...it was PACKED, 3 rows deep. I wondered around, much like a lost fart in a whirlwind, trying to see what there was on offer, what it costs and how to order it!! This is what I love about foreign travel.

After going from one side of the bar to the other, looking for a gap...the crowds parted and an elderly man and woman beckoned me to the counter. I ordered a jambon roll and a beer. There is just a torrent of Spanish conversation around me. Then a sweet voice says "I think you must ask him again..he has forgotten your jambon!!" The sweet voice belongs to a sweet old lady...within minutes she has asked me to visit her when I come back to Madrid and would like to know if I am interested in teaching English!!!! My 1st valuable contact in Europe.

I stay 2 nights at the backpackers then head off to Caceres to meet up with Thelia, who will some how materialise a vehicle to fetch me!!

Joburg to Boom ~ 9 August 2010

2010-10-04T09:06:00.000-07:00

Raine whisks me off to Oliver Tambo International Airport.....I am so excited it's just not true.

There was some eina goodbyes (some more than others, but I will heal...and so will they). I bump into a darling friend who is leaving an hour later to visit her kids in the UK....thanks Bexi for a lekker farewell...love to the KL Club. To all my grrrlfriends....guyfriends....family.....I love you!

2 hour stopover in Dubai...what an amazing airport!!

Arrive in Madrid Wed 1430. Too much baggage, not enough Spanish - off into the unknown on the Metro. But I made it, despite the language barriers and lug my katunda up to the youth hostel. What an adventure I have started.

a Divinely appointed journey ~ August 2010

2010-10-04T08:28:00.000-07:00

So here I am in a beautiful apartment in Lisbon, Portugal, still in awe of how I came to be here. Let me share my wonderment!

In January this year, a darling friend, soul sister, Magenta Angel (aka Thelia) asked if I would like to join her at Boom. BOOM?? I didnt even know about it, but when she told me that it was a music etc. festival in Portugal, the prospect of travel grabbed me and I said "of course". Thelia mentioned that it would be sometime from June, possibly July to the end of the festival late August.

Well I didn't give it much more thought. The next thing I heard T had left for Boom in May, so I presumed that there was not an opportunity for me and put it out of my mind. In the 2nd week of July I get an email asking if I would still like to come over - they need a facilitator in the Welcome Tent of the Healing Area. Wow!! My heart took a double beat! But I had much to consider, some really important issues, such as a relationship I was in, a contract I was committed to (but had the feeling for some weeks that my time with these precious people, who have since become good friends, was drawing to an end), a passport that was missing and limited funds to buy a ticket. Nothing major!!

As I always do, I laid my heart before God, asking for His wisdom and direction. The sense that this was something I was destined to do, became ever stronger, but the hurdles?? I had been searching high & low for my passport, to no avail, since March, for a possible trip to Namibia and then in June for Mocambique. Nada! Aziko! Skoonweg!! So one Thursday morning before leaving to work, I asked that if I was meant to go to Portugal, that I would have my passport in my grubby paws that evening...not Fri, not Saturday, but that night. When I got home at 5, I knew I had to start looking again, but felt it to be a fruitless exercise and didnt really feel like going through all my stuff, yet again. Those that know my circumstances will appreciate that I have small room in Heidi's house, a few shelves, 1 box of winter clothes and a few plastic trunks in the back of my Uno. Not a lot to go through, but I had done this a few times and there was no passport. Daaamn!! So I go to the box, yank out a handful of clothes, see a bag, lift it and out and give it a shake....and....yes you guessed it (otherwise I wouldn't be writing this from Portugal!!), there in a zip compartment is my passport. I know that I know that I must go...no doubts whatsoever.

Hurdle No. 2 - to leave work and Wendell & Marjo...I know that they will understand that this is from God, but still not easy. I give it a few days. There is an opportunity to chat to Wendell and he shares some stuff about their business that makes my decision easier and clearer. Thanks guys, for the great time together and for offering to keep the door open should I return - I love and appreciate you!

Hurdle No.3 - the bucks!!! I have a bit in savings, but not enough for my ticket. But knowing that I must go, and trusting the Divine Plan, the money will surely come in. 2 days later I get a call from Jan (my partner in the GSD breeding) asking if I want to sell Shula, who has been with him since I embarked on my nomadic journey. I don't immediately put 2 and 2 together, but react with an emphatic "NO!!" how can I sell my baby?? He reminds me that she has been away from me for 2 years (sheeet...is it that long already!!) and even though I see her from time to time, she's not with me. Lee - "Yes, but I love her" Jan - "yes but these people will also love her!!" And so my better judgement over-rules my heart...as hard as it is, it's best for her - she will be in a loving family home. I make a deal with Jan for him to keep some of the bucks to say thanks for caring for her - 4 days later I have the money in my account....and....it's exactly what I am short to buy the ticket!!

Are you getting the picture??

I still take things a day at a time, trusting that all unfolds in perfect time. The only ones who know of the possibility of me going are my children. Not even my best friends had a clue and I kept it that way until I was 100% sure that I was going...not easy to contain such a B I G, E X C I T I N G secret!!

Next I need enough money in my credit card to show that I can look after myself...thanks to a very special angel...you know who you are! Voila!!

And so, just a week before I depart, I apply for my visa...the last hurdle...and I am over it!! Y A A A Y Y !!! Portugal here I come.

I let my loved ones all know a week before I leave...of course there were mixed emotions....lots of joy, excitement, tears (those who knew in their hearts that it would be a long time before I returned), but all wished me well.

It really was like dominoes falling....and soooo meant to be. And I guess I knew in my heart that the planned 6 weeks would possibly turn into months...or even years!

dreams DO come true

2009-08-19T14:55:00.001-07:00

I am deliriously happy!! My son Kyle who is a wine-maker in Malmesbury, South Africa (3rd year student) has had a deep desire for 2 years to go to Spain to experience the harvest. There have been some minor limitations ($$$!!!!) but I always believed he would get there. Earlier in the year we spoke of it again but it seemed that with the visa and stringent cash availability requirements etc etc, he might have to shelve the idea.

But I kept believing!

Heeeehaaaaaaaaa...3 September sees him on the plane to Barcelona for a month, working on the farm of one of the country's (and I believe Europe's) best young winemakers. All is sorted!!

Dreams DO come true! Hold on to yours with all you have!

3 things

2009-08-10T14:27:00.000-07:00

three things
that are precious...love, self-confidence and friends
that can make a person falter...pride, anger, unforgiveness
that make a person who they are...hard-work, dedication, integrity
that should never be lost...peace, hope, honesty
that once gone, will never return...time, words, opportunities
that will always be uncertain...dreams, success, wealth

(not my own entirely...thanks to an old magazine with no credits!)

fairy dust...dog bones...attitudes to life

2009-08-06T13:25:00.000-07:00

I spent an interesting evening in the company of 2 special friends and a whole bunch of other people that were quite an eclectic bunch. It was one of those networking meetings with a feminine touch. Lots of good stuff (like a delish meal and some rather zjujz designer clothing), but as I sat at our table of 10 I heard so much negative comment, mindless, superficial bull#@&% that I could but smile. And then my heart went out to the women who had this rather sad outlook on almost everything as I heard stories of ill health, cancers, despondency....and yet again it just reinforced in me how important our attitudes are.

I once read of a perfectly healthy, happy woman, who after 15 years of a great marriage, had the foundations of her life torn from her when her husband left her most unexpectedly. Within 6 months her grief, bitterness and anger manifested as cancer and within 2 years she lost her battle.

Feelings of hatred and anger, other such intense negative emotions play havoc within us. They are a curved sword that cuts us to the bone...they poison our bodies, minds, souls and spirits, whilst the one at whom they are directed is oft times blissfully unaware of the pain they have caused.

When you feel the urge to use energy on a wasted negative emotion, pause for a moment, consider if the consequences are worth it and turn it around into a gentle, beautiful thought that lights a spark of hope and happiness within you.

And so 3 friends laughed at fairy dust, dog bones and life.....and sent out prayers for joy to overflow in the lives of all.

another beautiful day in paradise!!

2009-08-02T23:37:00.000-07:00

These last few weeks have really turned my focus onto the "amazingness" of life! I am totally in awe of how we go about the actions of planning our day to day lives and that is good - one must have a plan, a goal, something towards which we strive. But even with our best laid plans, God has already set all things in place and orchestrates the most perfect outcome, if only we can totally surrender and accept that as the best option. After all the dreams and desires of our heart are placed there by Him if we are submitted. Very often our experience may be one of "why did this happen?" or "I can't handle this" and other "woe is me" expressions of despair. With just a small shift in our perception and a heart that reaches out in faith, acceptance and trust, those "bad" things can be seen as opportunities for growth.

Looking back on my most amazing life, more and more I see that painful experiences only served to develop within me a strength of character, a resolve to turn that which society often deems as negative into positive, and an appreciation of the "ordinary" moments that make life so beautiful. I often joke with friends about this, saying "how strong does He want me to be??!!" Stronger, I guess!

This weekend in particular I know that holding on to my dream for such a very long time, despite going through periods of impatience or doubt, gives that very dream the momentum to bring it to pass. My Dad was a most wonderful man, I was the apple of his eye, being a "laatlammetjie" daughter after 3 sons and 13 years. The one thing he told me which forever remains in my heart was "Hou moed menskind hou moed, die kwaad verander in goed, en die morelig kom uit die duister" - loosely translated "Be strong, my child, be strong, bad always turns into good and the light of a new day comes out of the darkness". How true are his words and my heavenly Father's Hand on my life has made that a reality for me so many times. For that I am grateful.

"Gratitude turns what we have into enough. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion to clarity. Gratitude creates a vision for tomorrow" Melody Beattie, author

Today, be grateful!!

I cannot believe that it is nearly 2 months since I posted to my blog - where has the time gone?

So much has happened in this time....mostly very exciting and great fun....

The journey remains awesomely delicious....

Will catch up with more meaty news soon...just got so tired of looking at the poor monkeys

2008-10-15T23:21:00.000-07:00

Well, here I am hours away from having to leave the farm. It's been sheer joy for me to take some time out for myself....self indulgence, solitary freedom...by choice. What more could a girl ask??!! Yesterday I had a chat with my darling friend Carina and we commented on how most people are unable to be totally alone, even for a short time. Is it fear of having to face yourself? To acknowledge the things within you that hurt, that are inconceivable, that you cannot live with? Is it fear of your dark side, the night, being alone, attack (which is a very real thing here in South Africa where violent crimes are a day to day reality). I love being alone... I enjoy my own company! I have no fear whatsoever. For me there are 2 emotions that drive us...love and fear. More love = less fear. This has a parallel in the Native American tale which I am sure most of you have heard...the 2 wolves that battle within each of us...good and bad (love and fear)...which one wins?? The one you feed.

This has been a time of great healing, peace, joy, inner reflection, planning and purpose....THANK YOU CARINA... I'll be back!

Here are some pics of this beautiful place.

how weird is this.....

2008-10-15T07:07:00.000-07:00

Another report from my time on the farm here in Heidelberg. On my 1st day I went for a walk down the dusty, red farm road leading up to the dwellings. I noticed the ruins of what I thought was a house but didn't investigate further. The following day on my walk I decided to go and check it out. I realised as I got closer that it was a graveyard...it was customary in the old days for farmers to bury their loved ones on the farm rather than schlep the body to the local cemetery (mostly because of distance, we have big farms here in South Africa). As I approached the 4 graves, my heart jumped in my chest – the name on 2 of the tombstones was “van den Heever” – my maiden name. I gasped!! It’s not a very common name such as Botha or van der Merwe or Smith and I understand that all van den Heevers are related, and that not too far. I checked the names and dates of death – 1932. That was WOW for me. Knowing that I was on the very farm where distant relatives lived and died was almost an epiphanic moment (alomost only because I am not sure of the family connection!).

In the time since then, I have like a deep sense of belonging, it’s as if I am home, but I am not even sure how closely related we were. It has just been very special for me to experience all the soul and spirit stuff that I have over the last few days on ground that for us van den Heevers (or me at least!!) feels hallowed.

my sacred djembe.....

2008-10-15T06:57:00.000-07:00

Isn't she beautiful?? OK OK.....I know some of you will argue that ALL djembe's are sacred....but this one has very deep, special significance for me...I made it myself, from scratch, angle grinded it into the correct shape, decorated it with porcupine quills and gemstones and then painted it...the awesomeness is that just a few days after I started the project I had a vivid dream of what to paint on it...I have been holding onto that vision for a while but thanks to total peace and quiet I have been able to finish the artwork whilst here on the farm...its been about 7 weeks since I started so I have a real sense of accomplishment. Now Piet must show me how to do the roping and skinning and I'm done. It's bit lop-sided, but hey, so am I!!

I say a BIG "Thank you" to my kannoni Piet Aarde for guiding me in this work...and thanks to his beautiful wife Mama Cha Cha (just because)....you are my flames mates for sure.

i touched nature.....

2008-10-15T06:24:00.000-07:00

Into the 4th day of my soul retreat and I am having an absolute blast!! I haven't done one of these for about 4 years and just realise again how important it is. I cannot wait for our farm so that we can offer the same kind of deep healing to others...it's vital.

The wind has been howling for 2 days....last night was full moon....so there's a combination of 2 of my most favourite energies in nature. I grabbed a duvet and pillow and headed outside. What a totally awesome blessing it is to be able to lie under the stars, feel the chill wind on your face whilst wrapped up snug and warm....I looked out over the dam to a veld fire on the neighbouring farm..that was a sight, especially watching as the wind picked up...but I could hear voices so knew it was a controlled burn. The clouds were stunning, racing across the moon, which bathed me in her gentle light..... the haunting call of a few jackals out on the prowl just rounded off a perfect encounter with Earth.

I am blessed beyond measure.....

interesting reading iro current global financial status...

2008-10-12T11:01:00.000-07:00

TRANSFORMING YOUR ECONOMIC CYCLE

People clearly are losing faith in the various denominations of money and their financial institutions. In this let us instead look towards gaining a greater faith in the Divine Spirit and an understanding that as transition takes place, all levels of change are affected. The time can be used by each of us to encourage study group members and friends to look beyond the clouds of uncertainty for answers to life that will come through their own higher planning. This means using the LIVING POWER of cosmic consciousness and creativity—rather than remaining shackled to another chapter of in-debt slavery to the modern pharaohs of economic pyramid building. It is the false pyramid-building schemes that are now falling apart.

Let us select for ourselves higher investments of life. Vast emotional energy loss and agony can be averted personally and globally if we can use this energy for higher breakthroughs of understanding the realignment of humanity with a much higher source of power–the true Divine. Of course, we all need to be practically prepared for the changes. On a global scale, new energy breakthroughs can bring about a positive global transformation.

The first thing, therefore, is to THINK POSITIVELY knowing the ups and downs of history are managed successfully by those who see and create positive, humanitarian options.

Second, be realistic and don’t try any ‘get rich quick’ schemes. Set aside the economics you need to survive and PLACE YOUR MONEY IN A SAFE PLACE, whether you see that as a FDIC insured bank or some other type of environment.

Third, stop the debt on credit cards and DO NOT GET INVOLVED WITH BORROWING MONEY from friends and loved ones. Emergencies will arise in the future where you will need their support then, so don’t take advantage now. Prepare yourself! Try to grow a small vegetable garden that you or a friend can cultivate together. If you live in a city try sprouts and smaller plants, understanding that costs of food and transportation will continue to accelerate, so look for alternative cars, share rides, or even get a bicycle.

Your spiritual family will be there for you but you have to CULTIVATE SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS with respect and understanding, now. Also locate a few close friends or relatives in rural areas where you can go for security in case of failure of the urban infrastructure due to economic fallout.

And above all cultivate strong weekly PRAYER GATHERINGS WITH POSITIVE PEOPLE who know how to pray and who can help mobilize higher insights and collective planning that will be less costly if emergencies develop in your community.

And importantly, WORK TO MITIGATE FEAR, knowing you are on the winning side of life.

Remember, you are the new frontier. Value who you are! The task before us requires that we focus more courage and work in conjunction with the Divine within and without and to use inspired Knowledge and the Sacred Names (the spiritual food) which goes with the physical food of sustainable planning. This should be done as a daily exercise with music as it builds up the physical-mental-spiritual body.

Everyone wants to know: What’s next? Changes are upon us, but exactly how rapidly and severe they take place is based on the consciousness of the species. We all have free will! We now need to simply watch for further warning signs, to determine whether we will further move towards greed and avarice or more towards fellowship and unity. That will determine the next global and personal steps that we should take for humanity.

In the blessed work of the Divine Names, please continue your prayers,
Prof. Dr. J.J. Hurtak and Dr. D.E. Hurtak

Yay!!! No projects for next week, so time for some self indulgence....definitely some serious navel-gazing.....rebonding sessions with my dogs - I think they are sorely p%@#* at me for being away so much. Last weekend I slept out on the lawn, surrounded by my "wolves" - invigorating fresh air, cool and crisp as the darkest part of the night wrapped itself around me....bliss.

Thanks Carina that I can visit in your neck of the woods - I am truly looking forward to some me time.

Hey!! Did anyone else notice some really weird energies tonight (Thursday) - all my electronic stuff was playing up, babies and children behaving differently, and some odd stuff going down?? NO!! It's not just me......

last month I posted a Cree Indian saying reflecting their wisdom on how precious our planet and her resources are.

Sadly the greed is right on my doorstep in a most tangible way...there are plans underway to start excavating a quarry in Hennops River Valley - one of the most beautiful areas in this province, imbued with awesome energies, steeped in ancient mysticism and spirituality. Most of the area is a conservancy - how this can even be considered is beyond my comprehension. Some dedicated stalwarts in our peaceful Valley are campaigning to put an immediate stop to this lunacy - please add your voice by emailing me - lee@lifespace.co.za.

This cannot be allowed to happen - corporate consciousness WILL make a difference.

Light and love to you all

a most wondrous, magic moment....

2008-10-06T13:06:00.000-07:00

I had a very beautiful encounter today. Started my newest mural project, painting Hannah Montana on a little girl's wall and butterflies, bees, dragonflies and other lovely "goggas" (South African for insect) on a her baby sister's wall. As I finished the rough sketch, I noticed a buzzing in the room. I was surrounded by about 12 bees who seemed to be checking out what I had created. I love these industrious workers so didn't panic. But how to get them out - there were plenty more outside so I had to close the door. I just started humming/singing in a rather high pitched tone and called them to me - here's the magic, the wondrous thing - slowly, but surely, one by one, the bees came to the door where I stood and allowed me to let them out...........it took a while, but I was enraptured by the incredible connection I made with them. Weird??? For sure!!!! But a stunning experience!

As my beekeeper/drummer extraordinaire/craftman friend Piet Aarde said, it's"BzzZZzz concsiousnezzZzzZ"

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our Light, not our Darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~ Marianne Williamson, spiritual activist

so much happening....

I have come to realise that the sense of urgency I have been feeling for a looong time is not unfounded......don't read the news much, or listen to heresay, but it seems there are some crazy things happening out there...more so than usual....US financial stuff that is very questionable, political madness in our own country.....rumours of war and more.....alien sightings and warnings thereof.....and as I contemplate this all, experiencing the rising level of consciousness amongst so many, I realise community is becoming increasingly important.

Despsite the fact that ours may seem to be happening slower than we would like, I know that I know that all things will happen as they must - for me there is no longer the pressure of "must I do this or that".....where I am, what is going down in my life and what is not, only reinforces for me the absolute faith that it IS...and I love that

gratitude

2008-09-22T14:23:00.000-07:00

I love the way that every lesson in my life, every path I have followed, stepped off, re-encountered, discarded, embraced, or merely gave a passing thought, have re-integrated into a beautiful mosaic that all lead to the Godhead.

I love how the inexplicable of years gone by are gently brought to life and meaning today.

I love each person who has stepped into my life with a gift, a jewel to add to my crown.

I love.

beginning today......

an awesome weekend!!!!

2008-09-22T14:11:00.000-07:00

wow!! I had an awesome weekend. Started on Friday evening helping Mama Cha Cha to set up the drum circle in Piet's absence. We added the feminine touch to welcome the Spring and what a beautiful, colourful sight that was! Streamers, banners, twinkling mirrors, gentle, glowing candles down the pathway - and of course P & C's handiwork the day before added the final touch. There was a night of vibey drumming that called in the rain. Take a look @ www.africandrumming.co.za or Tree Bark Drum Circle on Facebook. Join us!!

Saturday we prepared for a special sweat lodge and made some new friends that night. A unique experience for me and for others as well - thank you for the gentle healing.

Sunday was just spent relaxing with this special family, taking the woglets for walks, eating, resting and sharing thoughts. I worked on my djembe - it's looking amazing, unique and sacred!

These few days have reminded me once again of how important our "family" community is, especially in light of world/South African events over the past week.

The time is drawing nearer - let's not tarry too long

what an experience!!

2008-09-17T13:32:00.001-07:00

having completed the sketch of Micha'el last night, I tackled the painting today. It was a profound experience. Not only because this project was divinely inspired, but painting outdoors with the wind whipping through my hair, a glass of red wine at my elbow, Rupa and the April Fish enchanting me through the speakers and this beautiful celestial being coming to life before my very eyes...what more could a girl want?? Everything just came together in a stunning orchestration of life, love and light. No words can truly describe what we touched today - it was an emotional time and I believe no-one who sees Micha'el will not be similarly touched. Thanks to this special family for their support - I am truly blessed!!

Will post photos as soon as I have sorted out the bug that prevents me from seeing the "add image" icon??!! Any help pse??

Oh yes, one small, last thing - one cannot use one's finger to work paint in on a rough concrete wall - it removes one's skin almost to the flesh - duhhh!!!!

Archangel Micha'el

2008-09-16T14:31:00.000-07:00

At last!!! I started a very special and, I believe, significant project today. The Archangel Micha'el at the front door of Tim & Lindsay's home. This is a joint project which is not only an awesome marketing vehicle for my murals but will shine the brilliant Light of this celestial being to all who visit here.

Micha'el is the Right Hand of God, the Archistrategos (chief commander) of Heavenly Armies, the angel of repentance, righteousness, mercy and sanctification. He is best known for having cast Belial (Lucifer) into the pit. Micha'el also oversees Lightworkers.

As we all progress on this path of spiritual enlightenment/growth/ascension my prayer is that the Light will shine brightly in and from us. Thanks Tim for allowing me to share your vision - I am honoured.

what's up on berg quelle?

2008-09-05T12:04:00.000-07:00

I cannot believe that I have been away from the farm for 3 weeks??!! Has anything been happening in my absence - I hope someone has been tending the permaculture garden....keeping an eye on our adobe sanctuary so that no unexpected rainfall reduces it to a pile of clay - ouch!!

Things have been very quiet on the western front - is anyone else out there?

Not sure when I will be back in P town - still have my job in Joburg to complete which will hopefully happen this weekend and then starting my BIG.EXCITING.SOULFUL mural project...maybe a trip to the Cape is in order.

Missing drumming big time tonight - just so kaput from lots of physical labour - dance with the moon and stars on my behalf.

cooking is like love - it should be entered into with total abandon or not at all

Pearls of wisdom from the pantyhose of a drag queen at the brilliant Madame Zingara Theatre of Dreams. I feel so exhilarated after the show - what an inspiration. Our very own SOUTH AFRICAN gypsy extravaganza, created out of necessity after a fire, these performers leave you breathless, speechless and craving more. The tent was brought in from Ireland and is only 1 of 3 of its type in the world. The show is set up and dismantled in its entirety as it travels across the country. The show in Johannesburg last night was amazing. The most sensual performances suspended from the tent top, delicious food, attentive waiters, bearded ladies and other circus types, exquisite bodies and so much more made this an event to diarise for the next decade!! Truly a feast for the eyes, taste buds, mind, body and soul - thank you Madame!!

Take a look at www.madamezingara.com for more and book your seat for the next tour

and so our eco village phase 1 got underway

2008-08-27T05:39:00.000-07:00

a group of dedicated, enthusiastic workers got together on 11 July 2008 to start with the preparation of our permaculture garden. Some ground-breaking and back-breaking work was done - thanks so much to Carina for her loving guidance, Heidi & Wikus, Natazia, Joseph and Skosana for their energies.

We dug a bed of about 2m x 1m x 1m and filled it layers of compost, flattened tin cans (for the iron), horse manure, egg shells, organic garden waste, straw, creating layers and covering with rich top soil.

Now we wait for earthworms to set up home and for good decomposition to take place.

Some tired backs, lame arms and smiling faces felt a sense of achievement - it's good to get the soil under your nails.

the Universe called and a group of light-bearers got together on the weekend of 21 June 2008 to share their dreams, visions and minds. What started as a chat bewtween 6 of us grew into this "bosberaad" of 28. Some may feel connected to the group, intent on being part of this intentionl community, others are treasured friends just wanting to share knowledge and experiences. All are precious and welcome to contribute to this blog.

We WILL make it happen!

nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists, therein lies the Peace of God

we are gaining momentum, at last!

2008-08-25T13:21:00.002-07:00

I remain in awe of the Great Power that orchestrates Life and all in it.

What began on 1 June 2008 as a relaxed, informal, chat between some relatively new and other brand new friends has since astonishingly evolved into a great meeting of minds, talents, dreams and visions. A deep soul project that I am sure will take us all on an amazing journey.

Serendipity??!! Co-incidence??!! Chance??!! Out of the blue??!! All words that have taken on a new meaning. I have sensed and known for many years that there was something BIG out there waiting to happen, that inexplicable "bubbling up" in my solar plexus (the place where Spirit resides) that carries with it an extreme sense of anticipation. Yet it still amazes me that each and every occurrence of our lives, even down to the mundane, are pre-destined. Nothing is a co-incidence - we are meant to meet the people we meet, even if for just a while, and then to move on, sometimes heart-breakingly so; to experience all the highs and lows of life; to touch fear, to brush with death, to fly in ecstasy, to just breathe, all in order to fulfill a particular purpose. To rest in the knowledge that life is unfolding as it should, this is the messenger of peace.

And so we begin our journey together.......thank you that you chose to be a part of this.
