Upward Thoughts are Unbounding

Dear Manuel

Wow, what a an amazing surprise to hear from you after such a long period. It seems like so much time has passed since lazy days on the dock. You have crossed the Atlantic so many times, awakening to your own spirit and God within your heart, and becoming conscious to the superficiality of this world which is entirely based on false perspectives.

I think last I emailed you, I was working at an "oh-so-important" job where I polished cheeks with some of Costa RicaLs elite and some of Costa RicaLs poor of the poor. It was strange because there was such an artificiality to it all, I worked for the biggest english newspaper in CR, which is such a small country, and so much sweet talk because everyone wants to be in the paper. I hated it!

But I would be "stupid" to give up such a "good" opportunity which would pave a future path for me in some sort of important "career". Are these my judgements or others - I donLt know. I was very lost and very confused.

But my heart was heard over the limiting judgements, and beliefs of my ego. I have taken a leap of faith (which is the reason I have not replied sooner) to take my power back and welcome myself back into the living world of what is real.

I have moved to Peru to participate in a higher consciousness training course. It is very intense. But I have grown in a hundred thousand directions - which all lead inwards. I am now participating in a teacher training which will take a few more months. Then, the desire is, I will be able to teach Ascension Meditation.

I have placed my clear intentions out to the Universe for a number of things recently. I want to be a teacher of meditation, I want to travel and continue living in other countries, and I want to continue growing consciously.

I began this meditation in San Marcos, immediately after I last saw you. An interesting choice I made then - so I stay in San Pedro to hang out with you, or do I grow. I chose to raise my vibration, to become clearer, and to get to know myself true infinte self.

But, you still cross my mind, especially when I get an interesting email from you.

It sounds like your life has changed recently. Your priorities are not what they use to be. It can be very difficult to integrate a new, higher, spiritual you in with a lifestyle of what you use to be. Remember to always spend time with people who are also consciously aware, this will help you maintain your path.

As for self-created-day-dreams, I am full of these sometimes - they can be so lovely and sweet. But, now, I am putting my pure and clear intentions to the Universe to make things happen for me. I would love to keep in touch with you. And, if ever, you buy another plane ticket, it would be good to see you again and to get to know you better. I feel a connection to you, even though, I really do not know you at all. The world is mysterious and multi-layered.

I am no longer plugged in because of my intense focus to foster my own growth. But I am writing post-cards and letters. If you are interested in correspondance, give me your home address. But I am travelling to Bolivia for 5-7 days, so I will be plugged in to email for this much longer. It would be great to hear back from you rapido, so get some exchange of words now.

Thank you very much for the photo. You are looking quite....well, what dreams are made of. Plus seeing a photo of summer is very nostalgic for me, as it is winter in Peru right now, and although it is warming up, there are no lakes to swim in, and the course is not condusive to beer, so a bit of drool dripping down my chin.

Anyways, I must go, it is late in Puno, and I am full after an amazing pizza made in a brick over.

Much love and luck and light to you,

Tonight you will be in my dreams.

Ascending to Different Places

Dear Manuel

This is such a surprise to hear from you! i am not checking my email these days because what I am now doing is not condusive to plugging into the outside world. i am going deeper and deeper into myself every day. This will be short.

It sounds like your trip to Latin America really changed your perspective on what reality really is. It is not this outside fasuad world as our ego tries to trick us into believing but what is inside us - the infinite source. You sound like you are becoming more connected with the source every day.

After i lost contact with you, I went to Costa Rica and lived in San Jose for a couple of months. i worked as a photojournalist at an English paper there. It was an incredible opporutunity, but I was not at all satisfied with it. When I was in San Marcos I took an intensive weekend of Ascension meditation. Because of this experience I decided to leave the external world. I am now in the sacred valley in Peru. i am intensively studying this meditation, so that I can be qualified to teach it! This is amazing. I feel more conscious than ever, very intuned to the subtle details and energies of life!

In a couple of days I am going to Bolivia, so I can email more then. I hope to hear from you before then!

It is fantastic to know that you are well! Thank you for the photo!

Love and light to you,

Unity.

Weeks, month and soon years are running forward, away from moments to become
remembers. All we can do is live them clear-minded and keep them in our
hearts. It maybe feels sad sometimes, past luck turns to present tears, but its
always better to feel sad then to feel nothing. I like the melancholic
secrets, the pictures in my head, the spontanic laughing or the
daydream-like-self-made-stories about people I met somewhere. These are points more in the large
list, wich lets me wish to travel more and more. My emotional home turned
from the place I grew up to the place in my heart where is written “be freeE
To feel well excepts not more only a geografical place with people near like
family. I feel stronger than before, because I know to become, to be happy
with only myself. Of course, people are very important. But I feel you’re near
me right now, without holding your hand..

Easy to drift awayEI’m back in switzerland. Back again. I had such a
troubleful time, went home from mexiko in april. Went back to mexiko until july.
But now, these intense days are gone far away and they return sometimes as
bittersweet morningdreams on my tongue. I’m working hard, I’m out of money, so
I have to work. I do some freelance projects for one of best zurichs
event/exhibition/corporate design firms. At the moment, its about the new design of
worldwide ticket-offices from the brandnew switzerland airline called
“swissE I’m important sometimes and that feels nice. But its more funny thean nice.
You know, I’m not an oh-I’m-so-important guy. I cannot be serious in such
situations.

Before that they shot a cinema movie in the mountains, in the alps. The
story’s about the football worldchampionship from 1954 in switzerland. That year,
germany won and because of that, most of the actors from this movie came
from germany. It was very very interesting, I had to build sets and organize
1950 furnitures and little things around. Looking for typical details, build a
whole hotel back in time and plant these boring red flowers in the little
cases in front of the windows. Unfortunately all the time it was bad weather,
heavygrey clouds only and not one day a view over the mountains. The germans
were very disapointed.

And this morning, I found your e-mail adress. Today’s a good day. I kiss
you. The sun is shining, the poeple are friendly smiling and the cardriver let
me walk over the street.
I like days like this. So I decided not to work this afternoon. To be less
important. I’ll not turn my life back and become one of these workaholics I
was before.
The time in mexiko changed some of my views. My view about “importantEbr>things and my feelings for people who wear, drive, posess or talk about these
things. Its not what does count for me. I want to feel healthy, want to enjoy
time with people I love, want to relax, want to take space between me and the
surfacal things. I want to stay in the mood I am.
Oh leslie. What about you? Where are you right now? I hope you are going
superwell, I think about you and wish you luck.
Love manuel
