Sweet waters caressed by Loving sound

Infuriation flowed through my veins. Lightening bolts of Thor illuminated my mind. Strength in y spine kept me upright.

The sweet words of my brother Bali Bob caressed my soul into submission to the one true light: Love. The remembrance that we are all in this together. Only Love will prevail.

Hasta la Victoria! Jai!

The blasphemy of the world we live in struck me in the face today when I received a letter from the United States Homeland Security justifying Anais' deportation. Their reasoning being: "she did not demonstrate that she was seeking entry as a bonafide visitor for pleasure." Anais was supposed to visit my family this summer to meet my newly born niece, attend Sat Nam Festival in the Berkshires, go camping with my family in Vermont, and then prepare for our wedding. If this is not a visit for "pleasure," then I do not know what is.

The solution DHS provided was going through an embassy here, filing for 'Permission to reapply for admission into the US after deportation;' a process full of paperwork and high costs ($585), followed by another application of a 'visa,' all the while risking rejection and forever carrying the black mark on the record that Anais was deported. Where is the justice in this?

The mass public of the USA is so caught up with this ridiculous election that we fail to open our eyes to the insanity that is taking place right under our noses.

As you begin digging, the rabbit hole of secrecy goes very deep. Secret societies, imagery, occult science, religious orders, etc etc... Waking up to this truth makes one realize we are living behind a veil of deception. Obama administration is trying to privatize the internet and give control to the UN. Why do they want to do this? What truth are they scared might surface.

Most of the population do not want to know these truths, as it is painful, and quite frankly: scary. We are enslaved to a system that serves a small percent of humans whom consider themselves elite. If we only could face the hard truth and work together, we could break our chains and regain our freedom to live in peace and thrive on this planet.

In the '50s and '60s the US and the Banksters engaged in many shady business moves which took on the shape of war. During this time, the hippies of California discovered LSD and freeLove, catapulting them into an era of revolution and anti-war. Meanwhile, Che Guevara led a rebellion to overthrow the capitalist exploitation of indigenous communities, and attempted to create a network of guerrilla wars in order to take the power out of the hands of the few.

In the end, the hippie revolution and the Marxists rebels were defeated and fizzled out, though their mark remains in history, and we remember.

As many well know, history repeats itself.

The US, along with many others, are back at it again: fighting wars and killing innocent people. The hippy revolution is blossoming through yoga, permaculture, trance festivals, raw & organic food, DMT culture, etc. etc. Where is the rebellion? My friends, how will we bond together in these times of pressure and disease to create lasting change?

Greedy individuals are exploiting our precious Earth and robbing her of precious minerals to create weapons of destruction. We are enslaved to this system - paying taxes to support corrupt politicians and war. How will this period of time be remembered in the great books of history, if at all? I pray for a miracle.

This miracle is you. Ignite your inner flame and refuse to let it go out. Keep spreading good vibes and disconnect from "Uncle Sam's" system. Watch the BBC documentary, "The Century of the Self," and spread the news that we are living in a rigged system that feeds the few and takes from the many. Wake up America. Wake up humanity.

Hasta la Victoria! Jai!

United As One - Rising like the Phoenix from the Fire

Deep under earth of the Yucatan lies a network of underground rivers, which open only to recieve a glimpse of sunlight in various places; we call them cenotes. Anais and I passed our morning diving into the depths of 'Grand Cenote,' past stalactites and stalagmites, and contemplated existence with our turtle friends. On the sandy bank of the centote, the combination of Anais' voice and medicine drum sent me into a deep state of Tai Chi meditation ~ flowing with the mist of the golden, morning sun Rays.

Why am I living in Tulum, one might ask? Simple. I fell in love with a Mexican woman. I do appreciate the simplicity of life: tacos, coconuts, sandy toes, Caribbean blue, motorcycle rides through the jungle, silent beach sunrises, and dancing salsa under the moonlight; though, lately, with the bliss has come mental agony. And I remember, why am I really here...now?

The answer is simple: Anais was stopped at the Texas border for being a potential threat to national security and deported back to Mexico - banned from the US for 5 years. When I received her '1 phone call,' my heart sank - for I could feel the fear and stress that she was experiencing. My heart felt heavy for all of humanity, as Anais is a true bringer of the light. My mind wandered back to Greece, where Anais and I watched thousands of refugees flee war, risking their lives through perilous conditions. The refugees typically rejoiced upon arriving to the promised land of Europe; usually my body cringed knowing many of them would immediately be sent back home.

Open the borders - bring back freedom to live on our Mother Earth. The more walls we build and security we create, the more we isolate ourselves and the farther from truth we live. It is our birthright to live in harmony and co-create with one another on this earth. We have been enslaved to a system we created - one that rewards trickery and savage behavior.

Now, Anais and I are experiencing the reality of United States "Homeland Security." She had a visa (actually 2 of them - Spanish and Mexican), and all of her papers were in order. She never overstayed a visit to the United States and did not engage in illegal activity. We did travel to Egypt, Israel, and many other countries that may have raised a 'red flag.' Is speculation enough to deny a woman entry into our country? What have we become?

So, here we are. Is part of me enraged? Yes, everyday. Though it typically turns to sadness as I look around at the current state of humanity. We continue to bomb Syria, displacing millions and killing hundreds of thousands. The profound culture of Tibet continues to slowly die. Civil unrest is rampant throughout Africa. Central America is filled with crooked officials and drug runners. Suicide is now one of the top 10 causes of death for children in the United States. The list goes on...

Every morning I wake up knowing the current state of our world, and it makes me want to crawl in a ball and go back to sleep. I must get up - there is no end to dwelling in the darkness, I must create light from within. I get out of bed, hop on my motorcycle and sit on the wet sand waiting for the sun to rise. I pray with my voice, body, mind, and spirit for the healing and peace of all humanity. How will we ever overcome the beast we have created?

The Tibetan yogis used to travel to remote places to search for inner peace within their own minds; taking years, and sometimes a lifetime to fully explore the depths of our own consciousness. The Tibetan communities supported these pioneers, allowing them to fully live the life of an ascetic. Sometimes I feel the draw of this lifestyle, as I know Mother Earth to be the greatest teacher, healer, and nourisher. Service and co-creation with people continues to pull me back into society.  Now, I am sitting in a square box full of conditioned air, while dreaming of living free, breathing crisp air on a mountaintop and drinking mineral rich spring water.

There is only so much one human being can accomplish sitting at a computer, let alone in this human flesh. United as one we can move mountains. To fully step into the paradigm shift of the Aquarian Age, the tipping point must be reached in the favor of Love. This should be done now, since we have a bunch of trigger-happy banksters calling the shots...literally.

My vision is to create a space where children gather to connect to Earth, learn practical skills, grow and cultivate food together, create art in any form they wish, share myth and stories, and grow into world leaders of peace, love, truth, and freedom. The seed has been planted. As it is being tended with attention and care, it is beginning to sprout.

Next summer, I will launch a Yoga & Wilderness therapy program for teens with Sat Nam Foundation. With a group of professional guides, we will lead small groups into the wilderness of Maine and root into the earth, open our hearts to Great Spirit, and send our prayers to the heavens. The program will be called "Wild Awakening."

As we all begin shining our own lights, let us remember to connect with one another and share our ideas and resources. If you are on the path of light, I call upon you to join me in prayer for peace. No matter how dark the night is, a flame always brings comfort, warmth and light. Let us connect, united as one.
