Gomi has a strong voice for both mieouxing and purring. The variety of her vocal range suggests she may have a bit of Siamese blood. She is quite energetic and likes to run around. Also she enjoys biting and clawing.

Gomi seems healthy except for a strangely stubbed tail. Perhaps it was run over by a car. She already has learned to use the kitty litter. Where is her mother and family. Why was she all alone in the forest in the middle of the night. Although she was famishes and quickly devoured a can of shrimp and tuna, she seems well nourished. Why has her fate crossed mine. Before I get too attached I must take her to the vet to make sure she is healthy.

Shaman

Well, I've passed through the death initiation opening myself to the greater magical reality by discovering the guru of no-guru. Now I know that power means the same as medicine. Now I have a magic wand. Ive travelled through a hole in the ground into the underworld and floated on the mists of jubilation to the upperworld. My spirit guide guided me to a burning gate through which I passed onto the Pathway of Manifestation. Ive danced with the dead and yet I live. I've payed homage to the four directions. I have broken the chains of conditioning. I have gathered power from nature and will use it to heal. Mixing the mixture, brewing the elixer of flowing control. Now I wield the spiritual fire bestowed apon me by JAH the most high. Give thanks and praises to the most high.

I've got a job bartending at the Sanctuary. I'll have a week long trial period. Serve drinks and talk to people passing through.

I met a British fellow who is making a documentary about the movie the Beach. I went with him and some other people to an abandoned island where the Beach could have been set. I caught crabs and found oysters and cooked them and ate them. I found an old stetson hat in a cave.

Im getting to know the people here a bit.

I took a day long course with a Shaman. He lives in a house that overlooks the ocean high up after many winding paths. Him and his wife have two cats who are both nursing! Apparently the father was the same a big black jungle cat. It made me think of my old cat Smoky.

Every day here is really really good. If I get the job at the bar I'll stay for three months and absorb more of the teachings of this place.

Many have heard of the boy in India who some is is Guatama and are making pilgramage there. Im learning what I can and planning when I should go there.

My Parents are coming here at the end of this month! Will we recognize each other?

I just went to Burma to renew my visa. Made some new freinds. I might start working here at the Sanctuary which would mean staying here for three months and India until then. I took an introductory shamanix course and I can't beleive how strong I am now. If I stayed here I could take many more yoga courses, learn tai chi, learn reiki more thai boxing and more teachings from the Shaman. So many powerful powerfull powerfull people here. So many beautiful devine moments. This must be a higher plane. I wish you were all here with me now and yet you are.

Shamanism is humankind's most ancient and universal system of harmonious and mindful living, also known as walking in beauty. Shamanism has no scriptures or sacred writings to revere or to be (mis)interpreted, only the book of Nature- by looking into that wonder with an open heart one can learn all of life's Mysteries.

Learn to relate to the tides, the rythems and the pulse of the earth, to experience a one-ness with it and the source of one's own being.

Journeying and other Shamanic techniques all aim to examine one's power. Loss of power results in disease. "Power" to the Shaman is no about having a big gun or a lot of money, but rather is about being respoinsible for one's own life and one's own happiness.

The first lesson of the adept is to control the upsurge of altruism and not make a nuisance of oneself by trying to force everyone else to be happy.

You can't do good until you feel good.
