It’s been almost four weeks now, so I need to recap a little. I don’t have much time at the moment, but I still want to keep you up to date. So I’ll try to summarise the next few days.
What has happened so far:
After lengthy travel preparations and endless final meetings, which left me feeling rather sad, I landed in Denpasar, Bali, on 23 September after a very pleasant flight. There I was picked up by my loyal driver Aldi and taken to Ubud.
Ubud is a bit too much for me. There is so much going on, everything looks different than it did four months ago, there is construction and more construction. New shops everywhere and the wonderful Café Atman with a view of the rice fields, a small oasis on Hanoman Street, now has its view blocked by a concrete wall so that the field behind it can be built on.
What I had been looking forward to was peace and quiet. Unfortunately, there was still so much to organise that peace and quiet was out of the question and time flew by.
However, the walk through the monkey forest was a daily joy, as I was usually alone for a few minutes. The shortcut is usually very busy with traffic and pedestrians, but here too, there is currently a lot of renovation work going on, and therefore they blocked it. But it was actually easy accesible. In the future there will be a barrier and they charge a fee for the motorbikes taking the shortcut.
However, my Tachyon Level 2 course with Ma Ananda Sarita was more than worth it. I love my new tachyon crystal and all the possibilities it opens up. It’s a lot of responsibility and a lot of daily work, but I am incredibly grateful.
