Hey Jill. Im still around just been busy on the farm. Its nice to be missed! Probably because Im so gosh darn argumentative that people notice the "lull". Hey Ruth! Nice to see you are reactivated. Great new photo of you.

Hi Krimsa! It's good to see you too.

I was worried with all your arguing you got suspended

She argues, but she is meticulous about making sure she follows the rules. Have you ever been suspended, Krimsa?

She does argue very well

Hi everyone,

I've been keeping pretty busy myself lately. I cleaned up an old piano and now I want to tune it. I haven't played it for a while.

I've been continuing my study of Penczak's courses. I'm two months into it and I haven't been having much success with his exercises yet.

Well, I've had good results with some of them and not so good with others. I'm doing the Inner Temple, Outer Temple, and Shamanic Temple all simultaneously. So there are a lot of different aspects to it.

Plus I'm doing work with Chakras too. So there's lots going on here.

I do pretty well with the spellwork. I've been having good results with spells. Most of my work with chakras has been organizational.

I think the place where I'm lacking the most is in the Shamanic Journeying. I've had some interesting journeys, but I have difficulty in taking them where I want them to go.

For example I wanted to go to the under world and I ended up in the upper world.

It was a good journey, but just the same, it's not what I had intended.

I visited the inner temple once and it was really vivid, but I can't quite get back there again.

I have some dream seeds I want to plant in a garden there but so far I haven't been able to get there. So I've been kind of drifting in the wind. Quite literally actually.

I've been flying around as a large bird. This actually happened because of a chakra meditation focused on the Mind's Eye. It's a long story.

In any case, I'm still searching for my power animal. But I think I've become one instead.

I've also been working on drawing up the plans for my labyrinth garden. I went out and measured my existing garden and then came in and drew up the following. This is actually done from a labyrinth pattern, but it's been distorted to fit into my garden.

The green will be the grass pathway. The brown areas will be garden plants. A mixture of vegetables flowers and bushes. So this will be a vegetable garden labyrinth. It measure about 100' x 70'.

This is based on my existing garden.

Most labyrinths are round, but some are square or even rectangular. So I thought I'd just go with the flow of the shape of my existing garden. The pond is already there so I had to work around that.

This is just a crude idea. The path is about 3 feet in width, and I trying to make it fit my riding mower.

In fact, I think I'll just drive the mower around to mow the path, and then rototill up the areas between the pathways. That way I'll know for sure that the mower will make the bends.

That looks like those things in Ireland they have discovered. Let me find a photo. Well a little different but that is what it reminded me of.

Here's a modern garden labyrinth. This one is the traditional round shape.

There's a video on labyrinths too. I have it on my list at Netflix.

I want to get that "Jesus that wasn't there" next. It’s getting mixed reviews on these forums. The main criticism I’m hearing is the documentation comes across as a little eccentric and some of it based merely on his own conjecture. Who knows? I will have to watch it and decide for myself if he is just nutty.

Yeah, I want to see that one too.

Abra, did you ever watch that movie called "The Shining"? Now that was a labyrinth. Or I think its called a “hedge maze”. You don’t want to get lost in one of those in the winter. Did you know "The Overlook" hotel which was supposed to be in Colorado for the movie depiction is actually right here in New Hampshire? They filmed that movie here during the winter. I think anyway. That photo of it looks exactly like the film so at least the exteriors were shot there.

I walked a labyrinth once. There were too many strange people there so I was kind of distracted but I could see how it would be good for the mind.

I would not waste my money on it. I know Jesus wasn't there. But If I had a chance I would borrow the book and skim through it out of curiosity.

Is there a book also?

I thought that was what people were talking about. Perhaps not. I don't know now. Never mind.

No its a documentary film called "The jesus that wasn't there."

It's called The God Who Wasn't There. I googled it and found a trailer you can watch online. I definitely want to see this movie.

I've never heard of this.
