Transmission




So I am settled in my new home. I had my broadband connected (i had 1mbps and was informed I can upgrade to 2mbps for P400 more. I'm considering it) I have my working space set up and have been biking around like there's no tomorrow.

What can I say, this is everything I have dreamed of! The garden, the people, the coconut trees, the sunrise/sunset.. even the cottage! I remember drawing a cottage last December for my vision book (i usually collect images of things I want to manifest) and lo and behold - the floorplan I drew three months ago is the the exact same floorplan of BIND (Bahay Inner Dance). See my drawing here so you would have an idea how the house looks like.

Actually its so surreal how everything is manifesting instantly. The other day I was telling the kids we need a water dispenser for the house and not even a minute later, Tito Joe came in with a water dispenser. The other day, we were needing candles for a session, new peeps came with candles! And just recently, I was feeling a bit down because the nearest Vegan restaurant is an hour and a half bus ride away, then today while biking around I discovered simply butterfly garden, it's a haven and they serve vegan food! A kiwi owns it, the garden is immaculate and there's mediation huts. The owners are also into esoteric studies. I tried there veggie curry, it's so so but beggars canot be choosers! Their muffins are heavenly though, I had three! Been on raw for weeks now and I'm HUNGRY!

Today's transmission will be quite long so I suggest you read it in parts. You guys, you've been working my ass of a lot lately. You owe me loads of chao long, veggie pizzas and heaps and heaps of Sungsong peanuts!

So Enough of my senseless prattles, let's get down to bussiness.


OIKOS
I know you are so eager to close the sale for the 3000sqm land. The last time I talked to TitoJoe about it, he said he hasn't contacted the guy yet but he assured me we should not worry because it is an assured sale. He is so busy lately with the coming graduation. He is one of the top officers in the school and he is up and about all over Bohol In fact I rarely see him. School will end by next week and by then I will be less guilty to bug him about the land. And if he says we shouldn't worry, I guess there's really no reason for us to worry. He even had that part of the land cleared.



BIND - Bahay Inner Dance
Ericoson helped me find a plumber to work on the toilet. We bought the intital materials a while ago. There's one toilet up but its dirty that's why i cant use it. My plan is to keep that anyway and have it cleaned up and have a new one built up where the shower area is, so we will have one for the girls and one for the boys. I'll have it all tiled up (Old Rose color), it should be pretty. Will have a bamboo structure built in the garden for the shower area (reminiscent of Bahay Kalipay!) again two cubicles. Aurelio, the plumber, said it should be done in three days so hopefully, soon i don't have to bike to school at crazy hours like 3Am to use their toilet! My estimate for the cost of the toilet and shower is 7K. I'll keep all reciepts for filing.

After the toilet I'll hop to the next project - electrics and wirings. We've been having problems. Power will just go out and my housemates, Jaime and Jonathan (TitoJoe's nephews, my new cousins!), would have to poke the meter with a stick while sparks sparks everywhere. It's kinda scary really.

After that, if my budget still allows it I'll proceed with the ceiling reapairs, wall repairs and re-painting. Otherwise will do it on next paycheck.

I really hope you guys see the use of this house and that it is fine that i put my part of the share here. I know at the end of the day it is the school's property but this place has been with TitoJoe since 1992. As long as he is with the school, it's for us to use. It can take a couple more months before we have our innerdance hut built, we can all stay in this hut when you visit soon. Its triple the size of Bahay Kalipay and can house loads.

Also, even when innerdance hut is up, we would always need an office to work from and it can take a while before broadband is available in Oikos.

Plus its for the kids :)

No worries, I'll be taking care of this project and will just send you updates.


Ma-I 420 Earth Day Festival (working title)
TitoJoe wants to do a community service ala art camp with the local kids this summer in partnership with DSWD. He is asking if we could help out. I told him you guys will be coming here on April and that we will be glad to help. He asked me to make a proposal of what is possible. I've been playing with some ideas the past few days and this is what I have come up...

I'm thinking we should just combine the 'innerdancers gathering' (Troy and the band wants to come on april too!), the kid's art camp and 420 Earth Day (a date very dear to me, don't ask why!) in one fun packed weedend!!!!!

I made a slide, kindly click it and check it out. From here we can start throwing ideas, planning and organizing. I cannot do this alone guys, I really need your help on this. I know we are all busy but to be honest I am feeling a bit overwhelmed already with all the things I have to do. So please I hope all of us will be working on this one. TitoJoe really need our help on this.


Ma-I Sacred Spaces
I remember a conversation we had at Ima's, I said I want to find my own 'innerdance' and share it to the world.

According to Capmbell, heros leave the world they are familiar with in search of something, and when they find it they return to the world they left to share their boon to their fellowmen.

A hero ventures forth from the world of common day into a region of supernatural wonder: fabulous forces are there encountered and a decisive victory is won: the hero comes back from this mysterious adventure with the power to bestow boons on his fellow man.- The Hero with a Thousand Faces

I think I have found my boon. Lately I've been having visions of creating and uniting Ma-I's sacred spaces like Oikos, Kalipay, Rizza's place in Banahaw, Analei's house in BelAir, Bliss in Bagiou, etc. Imagine if each town will have a space like this, where people can gather, do rituals, meditate, manifest, teach, learn etc. Pilgrims from all over the world can come and do long sacred tours hopping from one space to another for really each place has something different to teach. As my teacher always tells me, all places have differnet chakras.

We, as teachers, can hop from one space to another teaching our fellow Maians, about reality and spirituality. I could imagine myself hopping from, say Bohol, to Palawan, to Sagada, to Mindanao, teaching what I know and learning from the place. And we will be teaching different stuff, sharing different boons. PI will be teaching innerdance and essence or whatever he feels like teaching at that time. I can teach detox and diet and heeding the call of the spirits, even how to work online, it doesn't have to be always spiritual.

And I guess the ultimate lesson we can teach to each souls that we touch is that they are their own ultimate teacher, that they have to find their own truth. And when you find your boon, share it to your fellowman.

I am so thankful to the universe for bringing me teachers who helped me realized this.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.



Love and Bliss,

Agent LJ
