Another Cosmic Joke - Ha Ha!

So, I posted the other day that I was torn between India and Scottsdale right? And I said that I planned to keep some kind of tie to India no matter what for all the reasons I stated - loving it and being honored there and wanting to be a part of a rising super power and on and on. I believe I stated this as an intention.

Well, wouldn't you know it that the intention started to get fulfilled a day or so later. That's what so great about this Tantra stuff. It's fast, man! Plus having cleansed, I am super clear and I notice I've been manifesting like lightening.

All I have to do is think of someone for a moment and the next instant they call me. It's been happening for the last week or two. I mean people who I haven't talked to in ten years!

Anyway, then my friend/student who mentioned the idea of starting an ashram of our own to me a couple years ago called a couple days ago. I had given up on this notion of creating something together with him in India because at the time we first spoke of it he got awfully distracted for personal and professional reasons. So, I just continued on with the idea of purchasing an apartment in Pune or somewhere else. And then of course when Arizona pulled up onto my radar screen, well I just kind of figured I'd have to choose.

But I did write my intention in the last blog post. That's right I did!

So what happens? He calls me and says he is ready now. He will be going to India in 2009 with the express purpose of finding a place to build an ashram there where I can live and teach and he can relax. Uh hellooooooooooooooooo! What?

This is just too good. Now I do not have to choose. I can have it exactly the way I want it. I can have it all! I can move to Scottsdale. I can come back to NYC for a couple three months per year or more to work the east coast AND I can travel and teach in India. And anything else I want I can say and have it be so.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I love this intention stuff.

Tantra is da' bomb!

Ch-ch-ch-changes! India? Scottsdale?

I have just completed 13 days of a cleanse (see my last post). I feel as clear as the Caribbean. I am incredibly thrilled to have completed this challenge and I am reaping the benefits. I feel so light and free and when I look in the mirror I have my 1997 body back. Yeah Baby! What a reward!

So, in light of this clarity, I find I am confronted with an interesting change of mind/heart/plans. As you know I have been traveling to India for the past few years now, actually considering moving there, looking for the perfect spot, home for my soul.

What you should know is that there is something calling me even bigger than India now and I have lost some interest in continuing to roam around India looking for some type of spiritual cosmic divine intervention having to do with the divine feminine or something "je ne sais crois". Basically, I have had a radical shift.

Don't get me wrong - I adore India! And I still plan to have some permanent tie there like an apartment or a business that keeps me going there - not only because I love it, but also because it is arising as a superpower along with China and I want to be a part of it. I want to have somewhere on earth where I feel I am part of something rising rather than something deteriorating if that is even possible or maybe just a place to call home when all the shit hits the fan in this country.

But the very reason I love India so much is because I feel so honored there, like nowhere I ever experienced before or at least not up until now. I feel so taken care of there by everybody. It's very nurturing to me. In saying this, I need you to know that I have a found a group of people in the States that honor me like this and I notice I feel so nurtured. And I want to explore it more so between the two I am torn. It's a wonderful predicament to have. My heart is pulled in two very different directions.

I'm not sure what I will do this year at the end of the Tantric Tour. I had planned to kick around the south maybe go to Tamil, maybe go to another ashram in Aurobindo territory. I still want to go back in the spring and go up in the mountains. But some big aching yearning longing inside me has subsided and I feel just as compelled to leave India in December and go to Scottsdale for the holidays. I can hardly believe I am writing this.

I just may go back to People Unlimited to be with the Immortals for the holiday season. I feel so taken care of with them like I can relax, but it's a relaxation from the fear of death rather than just a vacation. Consider it.

Lemonade Cleanse Anyone?

Halfway Through It

Yeah well I’m on the Master Cleanse so I might as well just keep going to the end. It’s also called the Lemonade Cleanse and lasts ten days plus three days to come off it.

I’m right in the middle as I write, Day 5. I think it’s just as much about mental toughness as about cleansing. It makes a difference to me that I see it through. I am like this in the rest of my life also – duh!

I’m being coached on a daily basis by Krishna. He taught me how to make the mixes of squeezed lemons, grade B maple syrup and cayenne pepper. And oh yeah, I have changed the cleanse at the recommendation of Tyr Throne. He suggested adding fish oils and chia protein to avoid any bad side effects of being without those things for too long as a physical body. I am taking a few different types of oils – fish, coconut, sesame and olive. And I have added hemp protein instead of chia because I could not find it in the health food store. Bill Sarill who usually advises me on health and products suggested hemp instead.

I sure hate the sweetness of this cleanse. I am basically a salt person although I get plenty of sugar in the red wine I drink! In my experience of doing cleanses and fasts, I have never been tired at all (sometimes I’ve felt high!), but this one has me yawning at 8pm. That’s so not like me. The only thing I can attribute it to is the maple syrup. Today I cut down by one table spoon and tomorrow I will cut it down by another two perhaps. I’ll have to taste it and see.

I’m sure I’ll be happy at the end. My body is beginning to look great as a result. Looking forward to trying on my clothes next week and seeing how they fit. Been doing yoga and other light weight lifting during this cleanse. I planned to go out to salsa tonight, but I just feel too tired.

Anyway, I want you to know that I recommend this type of thing highly. It feels great to know I can do this and I know I will appreciate the effects on my body when I look in the mirror in a few days.

Please don’t get bogged down at the complexity of the directions if you go there. Krishna plans to make another attempt to get the people together who want to do this after the Olympics are over - LOL. He will simplify it for you and coach you. Stay tuned y’all.
