Walk Around the Temple Corra...Tarot Reading I Did for Marilyn
Tuesday...Sept 23rd...but back to yesterday and the day before...just some catching up
Spending most of my time with non-Israelis and finding it an eye opener. I forgot what people from "the rest of the world" are like. I sometimes find it tedious however, and am beginning to see that I am a lot more Israeli than I realized. Interesting revelation.
I have found walking partners for several walks and hope it works out....we have all been warned by the locals to stop walking alone in the woods as people have been attacked more and more often over the past year...also local people....and it is scary and also very disturbing and even depressing to think that this lovely place has been spoiled in this way. But I will do my best to take my walks in less isolated places if I am alone and hope to find partners for the other walks....but walking with someone else is simply not the same....I need my solitude...even at home I prefer walking along...it is a great thinking, even meditating time for me....I will have to find a solution...yesterday I went with Marilyn on the ceremonial walk around the path outside the Temple...even there 2 women were attacked!...But it was a quite nice, short walk and we enjoyed outselves and took lots of pics...
The people who take this walk put stones with writing on them called Malis all along the path...some even carve their own into stones along the way...we found one old guy doing this on the way and he must be working for years on the stone he is carving...part is already done and painted and now he is working on an additional part....some of them say Om Mani Pedme Om and then other prayers I imagine....anyway...what is interesting, is that every available ledge just wide enough to place one of these flat stone Malis is filled all along the path and you would be hard up to find more space...but someone always seems to find another space...just like people always finding an extra crack in the Western Wall (Kotel) in Jerusalem to place their notes into....
Did another Tarot reading yesterday for Marilyn (Sunday)...she'd never done one before and was both skeptical and curious...and I knew nothing at all about her or her past...it was quite revealing and again not only she, but I was amazed at the insights we drew from it for her. I always know that the words and ideas are being channeled to me directly as I feel as if it is someone else talking very often...all of a sudden an insight comes to me and I just speak it.....but it becomes more evident to me each time I do this and it is a very lovely and comforting feeling to know that I no longer fear my intuition...As it is truly my soul's voice...and through my soul I am directly connected to the Oneness of the Universe...so all is available to understand if we just learn to listen.
Saw this amazing guesthouse yesterday with a full modern apartment on the top floor but they are asking for longer stays "only" 15,000 rupees a month! That's almost what I pay rent at home!! I still keep thinking about coming back and the question is what do I want? Easy life for cheap, but at a price (Chennai is a good answer for that) or what I have here...but also at a price.
I am not finding the energies to go searching for options...Kailwood would be perfect if there was a fan of some sort and heater.
This place here is pure luxury and the price is the same. Maybe next week I will look at other options...if it is a guesthouse...I'd like to stay at Kailwood...but would have to get better cleaning services! Of course for the money, the luxuruy apartment is actually a good deal if you could afford it...full modern kitchen, TV living room, bedroom with heating and fan, cleaning every other day...Very quiet etc., But something in between would be ideal. If I had a way of fan cooling, I'd attempt from April...no actually from June...through to October seems best. Are these just dreams? If I had someone to do it with me, I'd do it for sure. Alone is always scary. But who would do this with me? And at this price for luxury? Well, I have to do some serious searching...after a couple of weeks...
Next week Kabbalah course...Didn't go shopping today with Klaske for clothes in Dharamsala as it rained terribly this morning so she didn't come down the mountain. But still looking forward and also trip with Kokila down the valley. Hope to do Bhagsu waterfall with Nathan and still get up to Klaske's house as well...and one day I will take the main road down to the TCV and Dal Lake...
Something keeps pushing me to spend more time with others than I had ever imagined....Although I did request meeting lots of people before I left home! I will also get info re: overnight to Amristar by bus...will take my chances.
Still no urge to shop...strange...saw a nice shirt today for the first time but Marilyn came back with me and said it looked terrible on me...(No mirrors here to check out in 90% of the shops!)...
I will not be going to Beit Chabad in the end, but a whole group of Israelis are getting together at the guesthouse and doing the "whole thing"...Kiddush, apple and honey, pomegranite etc (I by chance even have a siddur with me)...and we will even see if we can order a honey cake for dessert...should be nicer than being with 500 people ormore....
There are two things I must write about but my shoulder is really paining me so I will leave it for tomorrow...the birthday party I went to on sunday and the solution to who stole my music (haven't gotten it back but at least we've figured out who did it!!!)
My love...Jane
