So i am actually starting to get a little home sick, especially when i get such sweet reminders from the people I love that they are thinking of me.
For the last week I have been doing business shopping in Simiak, Bali. I will be returning with some amazing imports to share with you all. Now I am glad to be back in the calm quiet, beautifull home away from home Ubud. The film crew has been rapidly dwindling with each passing day. I have decided to start several projects when I get back. The first goal is to make a video that will win the Home of Poi video contest, the second project will be a proper promo video that will be off the hizzie! the third goal is to create a short movie telling some kind of story, I am still forming what it will be about but have some good idea's floating around in my brain. I am excited to work with such amazing people on this project and believe it will be a catalist for taking my fire dancing to the next level, into movie's. :)
Now that I am done with the filming and most of my business shopping I am excited to emerse myself more thouroughly into this amazing place that I find myself. Bali is unlike anyplace I have ever been. I find myself become numb to all the extrodinary art here. Everywhere I go i find masterfull temples with intricate carvings and paintings of dieties that look more like strange elien life form that one meets in a psychedelic trance than any creature of this dimension. The energy here is magical, one really feels the spirits of this land. The Balinese people make offerings everyday, up to five times a day to the various dieties that embody atributes of of the one whole God. I am learning alot here, alot on how to ground my energy to use more effeciantly and with clear intentions. It is a combination of having a clear vission as to what I want to manifest while not holding onto attachment to it, allowing the manifestation to have its own life. I have been learning alot about how to make friends with my dark side, with the demons that will allways dwell within me. I realize now that they will allways be there, like a rude neighbor whom cannot be avoided, I cannot struggle with these demons in ways that deny there existence, if they are to exist within me then I might as well make friends with them so that we might live in harmony together. My friend Ben has taught me an amazingly empowering thing that one can do to help appease all those insecurity's, rage, anger, fears... These manifested demons will surface over and over again in uncontrolable and damaging ways if they are left unreconized and unwelcomed in your heart. They have a hunger and must be fed, by making an offering to our demon's, calling them forth and feeding them with the one thing that we have an infinite supply of, for their hunger can be huge, feed them your love and even the most fierce demon's appitite will be filled, for the Demon is you and you crave your own love. This is an amazing, empowering ritual that I hope will help you as it has me.
I have three more weeks in Bali before I head back to Thailand to do more business shopping. Know that you are in my daily prayers and that I love you.
