Hi all!
I am currently in Vietnam, but am planning to take a trip to India soon to find a monastery to study at for a while. I was wondering if anyone knows anywhere to start. I don't have much of a plan at the moment. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Seems like a bomb went off during the time I was absent. What happened to everyone? Hope they're not "Once-ler"ing up in their lurkems, waiting for the end...
I'm more interested in the birth struggling to happen amidst the death of the old. And that old, it don't go quietly.

In the French motel that we stayed at last night there was the phrase written on the walls - stencilled in quite a large script as part of the decor, not grafitti - "la meilleure façon de réaliser ses rêves est de se réveiller" (the best way to realise our dreams is to wake up). Quite surprising to find such a profound pronouncement in such mundane a context!

I am going to talk about eternity briefly in a different way than you are probably used to. Most people usually think of eternity as a large amount of time. Usually it consists of many, many years. My idea of eternity is a little different than most.

Hey Fred
I was just having a general look around the forums and can see there's a lot of history and stories in there. I was amazed that there were hundreds of comments on the most commented post, going back 10 years or so - obviously a lot more activity at that time.
I was interested that there seemed to be a lot of posts 'removed at author's request' - what's that all about?
Nice to see that active members have recently expanded to the 4 of us ;-)

So... Not sure where to start.
Our mainstream version of history for the last few hundred years is faulty. War isn't our natural heritage, it was beaten into us. All the wars since around 1800 have been to wipe traces of our true history from the planet. Even RIGHT NOW they are still attempting to obliterate it. NWO. Disney and McDonald's.
Tartaria. Giants. Global civilization and trade. California island and mud floods. 1000 years added to an already "trumped up" Roman calendar.

So, I have been seeing something in the sky lately and can't find anything about it on the internet or from anyone I talk to. Actually, I haven't brought it up to many people and the ones I do think I'm crazy. So here goes...
At night I've been spending a lot of time with the stars lately and they have been flashing at me. I don't know how to word it, but there have been kind of flashes like from a camera almost happening several times a night coming from the sky.

Anxiety and worry seem to be ongoing challenges for most of us to varying degrees in our daily lives so I just thought I'd post some stuff that helps me when I'm coming unstuck ...

Hey Nick,
I spent 10 weeks in India and five weeks in Nepal back in 1994. In Nepal (which I highly recommend), I loved Kopan, which is less than an hour outside of Kathmandu. In India, I didn't find any great monastaries, though I spent some excellent time at Mother Theresa's place in Calcutta, and I've heard RIshikesh is great for spiritual journeys. Have an awesome time!
With much love and warm wishes,
Fred
