THOUGHTS FROM AN AIRPORT......!!!
DO YOU/OR DO YOU NOT?
Do you keep getting looks
that turn to smiles?
Or do you look at your feet
or floor tiles?
Do you give that energy, in turn
making you warm?
Or do you feel like standing in the
wind, cold, forlorn?
Do you give your last penny to
someone in need?
Or do you count every one is your
last name greed?
All it does take is a smile a hug and
to give that penny.
BUT please do not stop at the one
GIVE MANY.
Stairway of Life.
Counting the steps all the way to the top
of the landing.
Where every one takes you to where you
are will be standing.
Each step has its own perilous tread that
may trip as you go.
So climb the stair with surefooted steps
and take it slow.
LOOKING AT THE MENU.
Looking at the menu, from breaky to dinner.
Making a choice, mmmh wanna be thiner?
Cant eat that, it will have way to much calories.
But go on you love it, that little voice says.
Why really worry , it is what you really desire.
Order it now, who cares about a wee spare Tyre.
This year traveling.
Spending a year around the world
with and endless Summer.
Its time to go home, to the cold & snow
but its no bummer.
Life changing experiences, they came
night and day.
Working, from building stages to spreading
tonnes of hay.
Tasting all different beers, some home made
strange brews.
From sleeping in a hundred beds, to kipping on
the beach too.
Getting tattooed, in posh parlors and in ancient
ritual style.
What a journey it has been, I THANK you all
You all made me SMILE.
WOOOOOOOOO, HOOOOOOOOOO YOU!!!!!!!!

movin on closer to HOME WHERE THINE HEAR IS.
It's time now for me to move on. My "sac magique" all packed and gettin picked up from here in Batchelor at 2 30, then its on to Darwin then Sydney, Honolulu and Los Angeles.
The time here has flown by and every second of that time been an experience and filled with them.
Teachings beyond my belief, teaching others, being taught and on and on.........With these experiences that have been carved into my own being my own heart, again, life changing. Many people have come and went, each an individual with their stiries to tell, their experiences, and teachings, all unique, individual and yet most have the same foundations..........happiness love and peace, albeit with sadness thrown in for the balance too.
WE ALL ARE UNIQUE, WE ALL HAVE OUR EXPERIENCES EVERY DAY, SOME LIFE CHANGING , AND SOME LIFE GIVING AND TAKING LIFE AWAY.......YET EVERY EXPERIENCE IS MEANT TO WORK IN THE WAY IT DID...ALL FOR REASONS THAT, USUALLY, SHOULD NOT BE ANALYSED OR DWELLED ON.
Funerals that the people cry with Joy for the transition of the soul, People dedicated to making ours and yours and our children's children world a better place to live. This is not Rocket science...Its how we are its what we have always strive however today's society, media etc makes this process a very deluded way to think such thoughts..."who cares?, all i want is a new whatever, to spend more money to have more money, live to work, not work to live etc etc...the question i asked on so many occasions on so many times alone in desert, the ocean where ever, is WHY??? Is there an answer??? off course there is, every question you ask you have the answer is there, it always has been.....YOU KNOW THE ANSWER...DO NOT IGNORE IT! I remeber having a wee talk with my Ex Wife and how at that time she said self was so SELFISH in going away....at that time we were both sorting out our differences etc of the divorce we were going through etc and it was a right old mean up and down time it was. Some days self worried and worried, kids involved and on and on and i know some of you out there have been and perhaps are going through the same huh? SO yeah Selfish she said.....i thought about this many times, "am i that selfish? up and going away fro a while, albeit still providing for my children whilst i am on this Journey, and what will become of me on this Journey, will i come back ? will my children forget me, will they be angry with me" With these question the answers were.......Is self selfish ? Well, we all have to do things for ourselves, if this means having to do what self has done so be it, albeit in doing what i had done i made sure that my children understood why Daddy was going away, i.e for self to learn about the world people and in that about who i am. The love for them both would be there every sun rise and every sun set, it is so so strong and that they will always be by my side, and that i will be coming home for the BIGGEST HUGS EVER EVER KNOW TO MAN. (smiles) . I have heard from them both on many occassion, and in those every occassion made my LOVE STRONGER AND STRONGER............also making me smile from ear to ear for weeks. Yeh.....there is a HUGE AMOUNT OF difference from being SELFISH and doing FOR SELF..................... IN THE PROCESS OF DOING FOR SELF DO NOT HARM ANY ONE OR ANYTHING EITHER PHYSICALLY OR VERBALLY OR BY THOUGHT..."THE BEAUTY WAY"...................FORGIVE ALWAYS. shoot i lost my trait of thought there however you catch my drift, better to sit and talk always...PROPERLY TALK, LAUGH, CRY AND LET IT GO. YOU ARE, WE ARE ALL BORN WITH FREEWILL....THE CHOICE IS YOURS......I AM HAPPY, VERY HAPPY, AND YOU ARE TO. My friend Brian from Stonehaven had the best Moto..the 3 "L"s LIVE LOVE AND LAUGH. WOO HOO YOU!!!!!!
In HAWAII I was sitting speaking to this older guy one night. We were having a beer and Discussing such topics as to why what where and how etc. The guy Lee came out with most profound statement self has ever heard, it hit me so hard, and it will stay with me for the rest of my Life. It went something like this. " YOU KNOW ALL THE GUYS ON TOP OF MOUNTAINS THE LONE MONKS, THE GUYS IN CAVES THE SADUS, THE DUDES OUT THERE WALKING THIS EARTH WITH NOTHING , NO CLOTHES ETC ETC THE SADUS, AND THERE ARE 10'S OF THOUSANDS OF THESE GUYS MAN, THERE CONSCIOUSNESS IS SO SO POWER FULL THAT THEY ARE BASICALLY HOLDING THE WORLD TOGETHER FOR US ALL..........EVERY DAY MAN, AND IF THEY WERE ALL TO STOP, WHAT WOULD THE WORLD BE LIKE THEN ??????? WOOOOOOAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! AND ITS TRUE. THINK ABOUT IT HUH..........THE POWER OF THOUGHT AGAIN.
Here is my final words which self had been given as self sat there on top of Borobudur alone for that hour that day. Thank you all so so so much...keep it real, keep smiling, keep that beautiful heart thinking, give and take, and make ALL GOOD IN YOUR HOOD. Namaste ...xxx
My Mother Muriel and Father Sandy, for giving me that seed in side, the seed of self.
My sister Rachael, whom now has her own seeds and is truly a gardener from heaven itself.
To Caroline whom had seen the seed in self and has never stopped giving it love, and hope.
Ian, Jason, and Graeme, thank you all so so much for the first watering of that seed in self.
Michelle, Claudia and Gail for the tending of the now growing seed, which you made flower.
To Sue Tony and David whom gave the seed the strength to flourish and spread.
To Chris and Laura who's Butterfly's have pollinated the flowering seed.
AND TO MY CHILDREN, JACK AND ABIGAIL, WHOM MAKE THE SEED STRONG, RESILIENT, MAKING it SPREAD INTO THAT BILLOWING FIELD THAT GENTLY IS CARESSED AND KISSED BY THE WIND, TURNING GOLD IN THE HEAT OF THE SUN.
Reap what YOU SOW.

Nothing is permanent.
Tomorrow the caravan moves
on.
The wheels turn.
The flowers bloom and die.
The good we do in bad times is a
seed planted for others to harvest.
Evil is a dark hole in creation, where good
may have flourished.
Where it may take root again one starlit
night.
When the wounded world murmurs in a healing
sleep.
Tomorrow the caravan moves
on.
The wheels turn.
The flowers bloom and die.
The good we do in bad times is a
seed planted for others to harvest.
Evil is a dark hole in creation, where good
may have flourished.
Where it may take root again one starlit
night.

BOROBUDUR......THE TEMPLE OF THE BHUDDA...THE TEMPLE OF COMPLETE CONCIOUSNESS.
Onward we went from Prambanan to the hotel self was to be staying in.
Driver and i arrived at the hotel later in the afternoon, the weather just began to break and the rain came, however it was still very warm , muggy and sticky.
The hotel was set basically right at the foot of the temple / shrine.
Checked in and the staff were very very pleasant and smiled constantly, making it as always here in Indonesia a pleasure to be here.
My room, was small-ish but spotlessly clean and with what self had previously stated, clean white sheets and a T V with remote control, which for a small time i found very very entertaining, what with flicking every channel back and forth for ten minutes or so, then realised that all was same on the Set when last watched it, so switched it off.
I decided to head up to Borobudur, once the rain had subsided and also to catch it before it shut at 6pm.
So, Head off to the temple through the hotel grounds and up the path towards the East side of the Temple.
As with Pramabangan, the scale of the structure is immense, it really is. Tiers and tiers of intricately laid masonry all perfectly built and Architecturally a masterpiece, albeit they did make a mistake which took me a while to connect with but however did and will explain later.
Borobudur was built in the 7Th and 8Th century's and was built as sacred Buddhist edifice.
Its actual shape is not that of an actual temple but pf a stupa, constructed on top of a storied shrine. Standing at 42m high and a footing area of 14,165 mts sq........BIG! Built with an estimated 2 MILLION blocks of Andesite or Volcanic rock. An astonishing Weight of, Approx off course, of 3 million 600,000 tons.....HEAVY AND BIG!
Your heart thumps and your breath virtually is taken from you, its not until you start to get closer to the temple / shrine that you appreciate the intricacy and the detailing, the perfect geometry and Architecture, of the masonry work and the masons that built it.
The Temple has 3 important purposes:- A holy symbol of Buddhism. A monument for the veneration and remembrance of the Lord Buddha. A place to keep the relics of the consecrated legacy of the Lord Buddha, Arhat, a foremost Monk.
Self walked slowly and slowly around the foot of the temple, never once looking down top see where one tread, just head up and gazing in awe at the Purest and Gentlest form, especially;y on such a grand scale, that self has ever witnessed. EVERY WHERE YOU GAZE, there is a beautifully carved piece of Masonry let alone the Buddhas, again all carved in stone which line every terrace, Sit Peacefully at every corner at every turn.
However there is one part of the temple that took self by a bit of surprise ? One of the corners has been removed, this is to show the ORIGINAL footing / Base, which was adorned with wonderfully carved in Bias relief, Volcanic stone, these panels skirted all around the hole perimeter. Self looked and looked, stepped back and forth lay on ground and nearly on head and asked and asked self and spirit why? You see, there is NO explanation as to why the Original foot was so intricately done with a Huge OGEE , ashlar faced stone and with all these intricate carved panels, all now hidden bar this recently removed corner as to show the original. The addition of this terrace come Foot, was built as the Temple was still being constructed, SO SELF HAS CAME UP WITH THE CONCLUSION that, with the scale of the Final Temple, the Original Footing would have looked totally out of scale huh.............it Would have looked just not to scale at all.... NOT at all right.....in Architectural terms TOP HEAVY. I think that once they built the footing and the first level the Architect must have realised that this was going to be on a monumental scale and then decided to add to the original base as to keep it in proportion, with the scale of what was going to be ONE OF the most awesome temples ever built. WHAT VISION, WHAT INSTRUCTION , WHAT INTENTION. Aho.
After walking around several times, self decided to head up the East side and enter the the Shrine. The walk was pretty steep, and much people lined the steps on either side making it a a slow pace, however the Scorching heat gad subsided due to a wee outburst of rain that had happened on way to hotel, however the humidity had gone up several percent making it a bit shticky man.
As you arrive on the first plateau, you are immediately hit by the intricacy of the carvings which cover nearly every part of both sides of the walls that encircle EVERY TERRACE. Each panel tells the story of the Buddha, from birth, and all the stages to and for to reach Buddha hood etc etc...there are literally miles of them, so beautifully carved in stone.
When you walk along the terraces, you cannot help look left and right continuously then look up, and there also you find high above, so so many niches again housing the Buddha in different poses, in doing this, and not only with the energy's there, it just does take your breath away.....on a few occasions i had to say....."remember to breathe sean".
As self had a whole day the next day there, i decided just to take in the first level and head back to the hotel.
As self headed back, i had come to notice just how quiet and calm my heart and mind had become...............wonderful.
4 AM and my alarm went off....time to get up and NOW see BOROBUDUR in all its glory, in THE SUNRISE.
Headed once more through the Gardens in the dark of the early hours of the morning...trusty head torch on, Total stillness was all around, no birds no call through the Tannoys for the Muslims to pray...just stillness.
On arrival to the gate, which was not yet open however the Guard was on his way . there were a few people also there to see the sunrise from the top of Borobudur, they come from some hotel near bye, and were mostly Japanese and Malaysian. I said my hellos and Bows and smiles.
The guard came and let us in. I headed up the stair en-route to the top which i had not seen yet.
After the many steep steps, i arrived........and honestly folks, it was the MOST AMAZING SITE I HAD EVER ENCOUNTERED.
The terrace you walk onto is the transitional terrace , which has another 3 on top of that representing the spiritual world etc. The terraces are 3 layers all encircled by Stupas housing the Buddha. Each Buddha sits in the same Lotus position and hands are classified as in the Mudra . His clothes as in a monks attire, his right shoulder unclothed and hair intied in Chignon fashion all knots going clockwise. Always the URNA (dot) between the eyebrows.
There is 1 that was left unfinished on the terrace, with the stupa not fully enclosing the Buddha in, no one really knows why this was Left like this but some say it was the form of the Lord ADI BHUDDHA, and because of its UTTER PERFECTION, it is deliberately made less than perfect....mmmh??? however it is PERFECT AND SO SO BEAUTIFUL.
The sun came up slowly, however there was quite a bit of cloud coverage, but the setting and light and whole scene was unimaginable. I sat there in total tranquility watching the new day come together in a place that was heaven on earth. The colours of the surrounding country changed from Grey to a gorgeous opalescent Yellow to Pink to Blue and all whatever you wanted to imagine, my camera had a mind of its own...here Sean here Sean my mind consciousness was like torrents of the ethereal rivers that run in and out of this life to the next, minds and sayings, talking and chanting, songs and singers sung in my heart, and my SOULS WERE THERE...OUT THERE LOOKING AND LISTENING AND LEARNING...A THOUSAND SECONDS OF LIFE A THOUSAND YEARS OF LOVE.OPEN AND UNFOLDED RIGHT THERE.
The sun was there giving its life's energy, i looked around and every one had gone...SELF WAS LEFT THERE ALL ALONE....................................I CRIED, A THOUSAND TEARS OF HAPPINESS CAME DOWN MY CHEEKS.....THIS WAS AND HOW IT IS.TODAY I AM WITH THE LORD BUDDHA..................................THANK YOU................TODAY I AM BORN AS EVERY DAY................BUT TODAY..................THIS DAY......................YOU ARE BORN IN A PLACE THAT IS HEAVEN ON EARTH. Self sat there for about an hour until the first of the public came in. Once the hoards arrived i decided to move from the transitional levels and head down to the other terraces and read and look at the wall carvings/panels.
Hours went bye i wandered and wandered, with my head swimming in pools of pure thought...pure light emanated from the top of my head.....i was like the wee torch i had on my forehead earlier to give me light ...i felt i was giving light................There were people AGAIN AND AGAIN............. coming up to me asking to gave picture taken with them, old, young, family's etc....AS i wandered around and around ... Please we have picture with you.....it was FUNNY.....IT GAVE SELF SO SO MUCH PLEASURE TO GIVE THEM......Funny i did think whether i had grown another head on as it went on, however if it gave them HAPPINESS THAT DAY...IT WAS MY PLEASURE. AND THAT WAS THE DAY ON TOP OF BOROBUDUR....HEAVEN ON EARTH. THANK YOU ALLLLLLLLL SO SO SO MUCH IT WAS TRULY A REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE.......................ONE THAT PLANTED MORE SEEDS ON MY HEART THAN EVER BEFORE.................!!!
Thank you you and YOU...........There are times when i have struggled to think what to say, as My English is not quite the best huh, certainly as never really studied much at school..."who needs English" self used to think.......That makes me laugh so much now.............However you get my Just huh. So yeah my BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS, FA MILLY, LOVED ONES AND TEACHERS...........FROM THE DEEPEST CORNERS OF MY HEART, FROM EVERY LIVING CELL THAT MAKES ME, ME, THE I's THANK YOU ALL AND WILL ALWAYS THANK YOU, FOR THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT YOUR THOUGHTS AND INPUT TOO...........MAKE ALL IN WHAT YOU CREATE, IN YOUR CREATION, ONE LIFE THAT IS FILLED WITH BEAUTY AND LOVE. Aho.
Namaste. xxx

PEAce jOY love harMoNy comPaSSIoN. xxx
Arrived at Jogjakarta airport at around 8am, got picked up at Airport by my driver Ayut, and headed of to Prembangan 20mins or so down the now teaming with cars trucks and 100s of scooters again carrying anything from 5 people to a sheet of plywood, try that down your main street huh?.....
When we arrived it was relatively quiet. The walk up to the ticket office was through an array of stalls and market traders etc which were all getting ready for the day ahead.
Bought my ticket and off i went through the turnstile and into the Gardens that surround the Temples. The gardens were beautifully manicured, lush green grass and the surrounding trees blew gently in the soft breeze. As I walked my something was brought to my attention. there was Gamalan music played constantly, albeit very quietly and just audible, which made the walk around the gardens etc very very dream like.
On approaching the main temple, self began to realise just the scale of what lay ahead, it was huge? immpressive? you would comprehend the scale, the Architecture the detailing, for those whom have been fortunate as self, will understand.
All around the perimeter there lay hundreds of smaller shrine / temples which all had collapsed over the hundreds of years and Earth tremors which are a common occurrence in Java.
The Anti temples lay in ruins however you still get the feel of what they would have looked like, as they in themselves still are pretty much monumental in scale and with the amount of carved masonry which all has still been kind of relaid in random fashion, gives the impression and energy of what was.
I walked all around these fallen relics taking each and every one in, then it was time to enter the main CANDI (Temple)
There are 237 temples making up the whole area but are split into 3 groups, the smaller ones just discussed, the second which make up Gate houses and are larger in size and finally the third, the Main Central sections. The main Temple(s) were all built in or around the 8th and 9th Century and were built for Hinduism, the complex layout all signifying the sacred and cardinal directions N S E W, However it has only 3 doors, N S and W as you always enter from the EAST. The main Candi is known as Candi Siwa (shiva) and houses a statue of Shiva as supreme God and glorified in the Trimurti faith...Trimurti being the worship of a trinity of gods, Siwa, Wisnu, and Brahma. There is Siwa in several posses and you have Brahma, and Wisnu.
Also in the main temple there are statues of Ganesha, symbolizing Happiness and Durga the spouse of Siwa as the ruler of the Universe.
There were 41 frames of the Ramayana story in Candi Siwa all beautifully carved in stone and in Bias relief which in itself was truly breath taking to walk around and look at.
So imagine the Central tower with steps up to doors in the N S E W, OK, then these doors face smaller Temples with their doors facing the central Candi, however only as said, only 3 faces have steps and doors. In these other 3 Candis you have, Candi Angsa which faces Brahma. This is the temple of the Swan, which he rode on. In front of Candi Wisnu you have Candi Garuda. This is the temple of the Bird God Garuda, and this was Wisnus vehicle.In front of Candi Siwa you have Candi Nandi. The temple of Nandis Cow. The vehicle for Siwa.
The scale of the work and detailing of the Masonry is monumental (pun not intended) It is on scale that truly takes you breath away.
I walked around in AWE for several hours, until the heat and the now ever increasing rate of visitors to the Site, and the fact that self was asked on several occasions to be photographed with some of the tourists made it a bit of confusion and hard work, so self decided to head for the other smaller temples, Lumbung, Kalasan and Sari, all situated within the beautiful surrounding gardens. As self walked in the garden theer were several trees bearing a strange fruit, orange asome yellowishy pink etc it wasnt until self picked one up that i realised what type of fruit it was...not a fruit i guess but a nut...it was teh Cashew nut TREE. Remebering seeing the fruit in Kilani commune Hawii big island. The fruit itself is not unlike the shape of a pepper however not hollow. It is soft and very juicy however several seconds after you bite it and chew thw soft pulp, you find out JUST how stringent it is, it literally will take every drop of moisture from your mouth until your tongue near sticks to the roof of your mouth...! However its deffinately worth a go as the taiste and juisyness at he time is pretty much extreme. As for the old Cashew itself, well its the part that hangs from the tree, and is plain and looks dead right hummble just sitting there.....the Hummble bit with mostest. wonderful. However it is this little hummble brown bit ontop that costs a packet to buy as you have to collect so much fruits to make a a handful, huh, so every time you take a handful of Cashew, remember that it was probably a tree the size of a average BEECH tree back home that supplied all that handful. mmmmmh, just as well they grow really quick too. smiles.
Yeh, so headed of down the tree lined pathways to the smaller sets of temples, and still the Gamalan played gently, gently in my lug hole....thats ears in scottish. (getting in practice for coming home soon)
These temples are a lot smaller in scale. The temple Lumbung has a main temple as temple siwa and is filled with Dyani Buddha. Candi Sari has an entrance flanked by 2 huge stone giants holding a Cudgel and a coiled snake, this temple was also used as a Buddhist temple the temple of Candi Kalasan was built in the year AD 778 as was the other sanctuary's to Buddha, However Kalasan was a [place to worship Tara, the Goddess.
The time spent in all these Temples was utterly majestic, the energy's not powerful or anything like before in Bali etc however they ALL did lend to one what they still have, giving compassion when you gaze ast them and peace within when you walk, and when you realise you are really aimlessly wandering in awe taking in all, taking the breath from you, you just can not comprehend the splendour and immenseness of what once was, and what would have been. In my mind, one of the spiritual wonders of this world.........onward to teh NEXT WONDER........................... BOROBUDUR, BUDDHAS HEAVEN HERE ON THIS EARTH. WOOOAAAAAA!!!!!

Arrived at Jogjakarta airport at around 8am, got picked up at Airport by my driver Ayut, and headed of to Prembangan 20mins or so down the now teaming with cars trucks and 100s of scooters again carrying anything from 5 people to a sheet of plywood, try that down your main street huh?.....
When we arrived it was relatively quiet. The walk up to the ticket office was through an array of stalls and market traders etc which were all getting ready for the day ahead.
Bought my ticket and off i went through the turnstile and into the Gardens that surround the Temples. The gardens were beautifully manicured, lush green grass and the surrounding trees blew gently in the soft breeze. As I walked my something was brought to my attention. there was Gamalan music played constantly, albeit very quietly and just audible, which made the walk around the gardens etc very very dream like.
On approaching the main temple, self began to realise just the scale of what lay ahead, it was huge? immpressive? you would comprehend the scale, the Architecture the detailing, for those whom have been fortunate as self, will understand.
All around the perimeter there lay hundreds of smaller shrine / temples which all had collapsed over the hundreds of years and Earth tremors which are a common occurrence in Java.
The Anti temples lay in ruins however you still get the feel of what they would have looked like, as they in themselves still are pretty much monumental in scale and with the amount of carved masonry which all has still been kind of relaid in random fashion, gives the impression and energy of what was.
I walked all around these fallen relics taking each and every one in, then it was time to enter the main CANDI (Temple)
There are 237 temples making up the whole area but are split into 3 groups, the smaller ones just discussed, the second which make up Gate houses and are larger in size and finally the third, the Main Central sections. The main Temple(s) were all built in or around the 8th and 9th Century and were built for Hinduism, the complex layout all signifying the sacred and cardinal directions N S E W, However it has only 3 doors, N S and W as you always enter from the EAST. The main Candi is known as Candi Siwa (shiva) and houses a statue of Shiva as supreme God and glorified in the Trimurti faith...Trimurti being the worship of a trinity of gods, Siwa, Wisnu, and Brahma. There is Siwa in several posses and you have Brahma, and Wisnu.
Also in the main temple there are statues of Ganesha, symbolizing Happiness and Durga the spouse of Siwa as the ruler of the Universe.
There were 41 frames of the Ramayana story in Candi Siwa all beautifully carved in stone and in Bias relief which in itself was truly breath taking to walk around and look at.
So imagine the Central tower with steps up to doors in the N S E W, OK, then these doors face smaller Temples with their doors facing the central Candi, however only as said, only 3 faces have steps and doors. In these other 3 Candis you have, Candi Angsa which faces Brahma. This is the temple of the Swan, which he rode on. In front of Candi Wisnu you have Candi Garuda. This is the temple of the Bird God Garuda, and this was Wisnus vehicle.In front of Candi Siwa you have Candi Nandi. The temple of Nandis Cow. The vehicle for Siwa.
The scale of the work and detailing of the Masonry is monumental (pun not intended) It is on scale that truly takes you breath away.
I walked around in AWE for several hours, until the heat and the now ever increasing rate of visitors to the Site, and the fact that self was asked on several occasions to be photographed with some of the tourists made it a bit of confusion and hard work, so self decided to head for the other smaller temples, Lumbung, Kalasan and Sari, all situated within the beautiful surrounding gardens.

Back from the Hills and West of Bali.
Hi to everyone. Thank you all again for taking time out to Log on...your responses have been wonderful and make it all worth while...thanking each and everyone of you all NOW, this blog was going to be brief however, self just kept going, now can hardly see the screen and me fingers are AGONEEEE! lOVING you ALL.....Namaste. x
Got back around 1hr ago or so Bali time being 3pm, Pretty much Exhausted and head still Buzzing from all the most wonderful and some of the Most powerful energy's have experienced....what a wonderful 2 days it has been.
So yeah, this will be a brief post as really tired huh, however will try and make it as informative as much as self can.
Started of here in Sanur and Wayun our driver picked us up Dead on time 7 am. We headed way up North skirting the West coast of Bali until we reached the first Pura..Rambut suwi....It took us a wee while to find the wee road that led us down there however after 10mins or so putting about we succeeded, and made it. There are several Puras there all ranging in different size and different energies, however there is an unknown one around the side, right down on the shoreline....we headed for there first......we were greeted by the Mangcun(holy man), He did not speak any English however we all got on wonderfully. After setting out our Channa's (offerings and incense) we said our prayers and Got blessed. the Mangcun talked to us about the energy lines that ran from this Pura to various others and as i watched him draw these lines on the sand a picture or some form of writing appeared in front of my eyes......MICHELLE back Home will understand.....!!!! We sat with the Mangcun for a good while, talked, smiled and laughed....the teachings were fantastic, teachings of the Heart....without language.
After walking around the other Puras on the cliff face, we headed of up to the top of Bali and hopefully to catch a ferry to Manjana island and to this Pura that some say has energies there you can almost see in the Air.......The Roads were narrow, bumpy and well, the most amount of Lorries, trucks and scooters carrying everything from Lengths of Bamboo to Chickens..and thats on teh Scooters. The road is the Main road from teh Ferry Terminal which takes you over to Java, and is only like a stones throw over the sea. Man o Man it IS pretty hareum scareum stuff as everyone basically Josstles for pole position etc, quite frightening......They are truly MASTERS AT SCOOTER HANDLING!
We finally arrived at the ferry/wee boat crossing to find it deserted, albeit a port full of wee boats, and boatmen. We sat down under a tree and had some lunch, then enquired as to how much to get across on the 25 min ferry......We were told firstly that it was gonna cost an exorbitent amount and said NO WAY.....HE then said that we have to pay for the whole boat even if there was just 2 of us headin across to the island.....we then replied that, is this the anount that you charge the locals whom wanna go over and pray???? As this question was in the content that the amount he was charging us would be around a months wages here for most.....!! We never got very far, he said that we had to charter whole boat.....but we knew this was nonsense and said our thank yous and left albeit very very dispondent, as Kestrel and self just had an conversation about this matter several hours ago...where when she was teaching in Java, similiar experiances had arose to this one.
So we headed of in search of the next Pura......leaving what had happened well behind.\
When travelled thro some of the most dry and arrid country side, however ironically enough....it was really green and Lush??? The ground was parched dry and not unlike the earth in the Northern Territory, Australia, however It was full of Vegetataion being Corn, Paw Paw and Coconut trees which were the size of a sky scarper....BUT....VERY VERY DRY, ARRID and SCORCHIO.
We found our destination PURA MEALANTING......AWESOME in structure, Architecturally Beyond Belief and Built BY GODS THEMSELVES..............As you can see by my reaction, IT was truly truly BEAUTIFUL. Again there were several Different areas there to make offerings, and pray...each one different than the last. We sat down and made our offerings then headed of to the Main Area...beong exquisitely painted and decked out in the some of the most dazzling array of coloured sashes and Banners etc, adorning the Deity's and Various Sacred Trees and Rocks.
There was an Old Lady Mangcun whom came over to ask if we wanted to Pray there and Get blessing....Kestrel said OK , however self just sat in Awe, looking in all directions, my head was swimming in pools of pure white light.
We headed south and to our final destination for the day which is now becoming evening, to a Pura called Pura segara rupek.....this my friends holds some of the most Powerful energy's on the Island as it is a Gateway through which a lot of it comes through......flanked by Trees either side. On Arrival there we were greeted by The Mangcun........and instantly his smile and Vibration enveloped one with a sense that you have met this man before ? Again, the Language barrier was Not a problem as we all understood each other perfectly.
This Pura is right on the shoreline and has 2 by praying areas that are either of the Huge trees which make the Gateway, and in the MIDDLE...IS HUM DINGER. A wee Pura and a WEE house, bejeweled in Coral and various items from the sea etc.....Adorned and exquisitely painted too. Yeah, this is the Temple of another Sea Goddess....this is HER HOUSE.
Sitting down just outside the Pura, at point i thought i saw the Air ripple.......Then again?? i took it down to being Fatigue, however Kestrel arrived at that point and said to me...Do you know Sean that the Energy id so strong here that sometimes you can see the Air ripple......THAT BLEW MW AWAY..BECAUSE IT DID AND IT WAS!!!!!
The Mangcun came over and said that we have to go now and pray with him, make offerings and then just hang out together and talk and listen and learn.
We made our offerings and prayers then we all sat down and talked......where how when what and who etc etc..........it was wonderful, peaceful and full of Great teachings....!
The Mangcun asked if self wanted to sleep inside and right next to the Sea Goddesses Wee house...? WoW off course self did, however there was maybe a family coming in at around 12 midnight to some prayers and if this was the case he would wake me up and would wait until it was all over then go back to sleep......Self was so so tired by now, and my head again was like floating in a Vat of pure consciousness that i really needed to ground and sleep. So of i toddled at around 8 or 9 ish? I lay down with a sheet over my whole body and head as teh Mosquitos were out to eat me alive and all in their wake no doubt......You could feel the energy coming right up from below, it was liek a low hum coursing slowly through my body.......then i thought a heard My Daughter Abigail shouting Daddy, then ............... a CAT jumped on to my head, making me jump up and nearly...@#?!**%$#?????? You could imagine huh. Managing to settle down again i drifted of to sleep. Not long after, a car appeared and YES it was the family...time to get up again. I sat outside and listened to the Mangcun say his blessings and the Beautiful ringing of his bell.....it made me smile so so much, just the whole scene.....and all the time the waves came in and receded...it was surreal and such an experience.
The family left and settled down again. The land of NOD , and dreams like no other. Smiling so much.
The Mangcun awoke me at around 5am and it was time for prayer, offerings and Blessings, this time in the Holy spring, and the related Pura. We talked again for a long while with again much laughter and that feeling of total calmness and in Beauty that self is HUMBLED once more by all the experiences, the Devotion of the Holy men the Power and Energy's that are here and all around YOU TOO......AND.....JUST HOW LUCKY WE REALLY ARE TO BE HERE AND TO SHARE THIS WONDERFUL WORLD WE LIVE IN...........THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH.
Off to BED very very soon.....!!!! As thats me away to Java and Borobudur etc at 5am the moro morning...........will say Hi and have fotos when back here....Thank you. xxx
Namaste. xxx

FROM Pura Silayukti to Java.....Premabangan and Borobudur....!
Hi every one, thank you all for logging on and taking time out to read this blog . Namaste x
Well, as last post indicated, the best was left until last, for that day any way.
We headed out East to Pura Silayukti.
Was told by kestrel that this was one of the most powerful spots on the island, and little visitation by Tourists.
On arrival to Padang Bai, which is the main wee port that you get the ferry out the likes of Lombok and the Gilly islands, the Bay itself was beautiful and picturesque with Chrystal clear water and tree lined hills skirting all around. Not many tourists as it is still the quiet season and allegedly the Australian Govt has been saying that it is still not safe to come to Bali ......Rubbish!
So We set off around the Bay and headed up the hill to Silayukti.
There are 4 Temples in the grounds, each one a different deity and energy.
Seemingly the 4 are done in a specific way, that slowly generates the energy until the last one, which in itself being the most powerful.
We headed in to Nos 1 and just perfect time too, as there was a ceremony being just completed. We waited and said our hello and smiled at all passing when it had finished.
We set out our offerings and incense and prayed for a while and the energy was great, soothing nice and making us feel ready for the next one.
When we hit temple 3 the, we were unsure where would be best to place our offerings and self had an instant pull to the left of the main Shrine and Kestrel to the Right.....which later self had come to realise that it was the Male and Female Energy's, as you stood from main shrine and looked out the male on the right and the female on the left, it all made sense.
The energy there was really good, and a lot as self stood and meditated fro around 15 - 20 mins or so. Wonderful.
Now it was time to hit the BIG KAHUNA.........THE FINAL ONE!
By now i reckon my eyes were like saucers and pupils the size of footballs as self felt the top of my head going to explode, however NOTHING WOULD HAVE PREPARED ME WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!
We made our way down the VERY steep stepped cliff face to which miraculously appearing in front of your eyes was the small walled platform a wee tree and a Grotto cut into the cliff face, adorned with various offerings, shades and sashes etc. Kestrel pulled out a palm tree leaf mat and started to set out the offerings and the incense etc...as the WAVES behind made a thunderous noise. Self could feel the energy as being so so different from all the rest eh......self cant explain fully but........how calm can you feel....times that by 3 or so and that's how one felt...albeit the top of my head was now in blast off mode.
So, we sat down and Kestrel started to cant and sing a song, beckoning the Sea Goddess to come. Within 5 minutes or so after laying out my offerings and praying, self could feel my body starting to vibrate.....a bit like a pendulum......forth and Back .....slowly. I BECAME AWARE OF THIS.....? Not focusing on it, just let it be, until the vibration got more and more powerful until one was moving, pretty darn dramatically...............and all the time feeling this awesome power and energy coming up from below and through my body.......She stopped singing.........and BANG!!! SELF STOPPED MOVING!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE FEELING!!!!!! Somewhat pretty much in shock self got up and looked out into the ocean and sky and smiled with a smile that made tears in ones eyes...........Many time one has felt the energy at the drumming circles etc each time being different and some more powerful than the last albeit VERY POWERFUL STUFF....THANK YOU IAN AND AUDS AND TONY AND SUE love you guys so much xxx..However, man o man NEVER EVER ON THE SCALE AND POWER OF THIS. This Kestrel said is why one must do these Puras in specifically this order. We sat down after and had some lunch and on the way back I drifted of to sleep in the Van absolutely shattered, but feeling like so so SO in connection and so so SO calm and so so SO HUMBLED by the whole experience. Namaste. xxx
Tomorrow going on a Pilgrimage right up to Manganan island to where there are 3 very sacred sights not marked on any Tourist map, which self is pretty much honored to get a chance in visiting. Hopefully sleeping over night at one, which is meant to be like an experience and a half...The HALF will do me just fine Thank you. smiles. xxx
On Wednesday am heading off at 4 am to catch a flight albeit for 3 pounds each way plus taxes, but the taxes are 25 pounds, to JAVA, and to visit......PRAMBANGAN AND BOROBUDUR...THE ANCIENT MASSIVE STRUCTURES THAT WERE FOUND IN OR AROUND THE SECOND WORLD WAR PURELY BY CHANCE????? CANT WAIT. WILL update when get back to OZ on Fri or SAT or SUn.
Thank you all again from the deepest parts of my Heart, self IS TRULY HONOURED to have such wonderful friends and family, my thoughts each day are with you all and may Love peace harmony Joy and Compassion be with you all every second of this day to the next..! May you ALL Walk in Beauty. Namaste.XXX I LOVE YOU ALL AND THANK YOU ALL...KEEP SMILING HUH!!!!! Smiles xxx

Somewhat pretty much in shock self got up and looked out into the ocean and sky and smiled with a smile that made tears in ones eyes...........Many time one has felt the energy at the drumming circles etc each time being different and some more powerful than the last albeit VERY POWERFUL STUFF....THANK YOU IAN AND AUDS AND TONY AND SUE love you guys so much xxx..However, man o man NEVER EVER ON THE SCALE AND POWER OF THIS. This Kestrel said is why one must do these Puras in specifically this order. We sat down after and had some lunch and on the way back I drifted of to sleep in the Van absolutely shattered, but feeling like so so SO in connection and so so SO calm and so so SO HUMBLED by the whole experience. Namaste. xxx
Tomorrow going on a Pilgrimage right up to Manganan island to where there are 3 very sacred sights not marked on any Tourist map, which self is pretty much honored to get a chance in visiting. Hopefully sleeping over night at one, which is meant to be like an experience and a half...The HALF will do me just fine Thank you. smiles. xxx
