a purpose for life

April 26

Today was a very special day. We first went to have a picnic in the Apache territory with the Elders. It was a relaxed happening: full of laughter, drumming and songs and interesting talks between people. We shared our food and enjoyed each other’s company, all those different nationalities and cultures, celebrating as one.

I talked to a little Maya woman, who radiated such enormous love and power. She promised me I could interview her the next day about her work. I talked to other people, people I did not know, but who were friends immediately. Now this was a real gathering, as I had hoped this would be. The elders were enjoying themselves and they received a lot of attention from everybody. They were treated  as kings and queens, honored for their wisdom. Why don’t we do this anymore in our western countries? We lock them up in old people homes, or leave them alone in their houses. We do not use their wisdom, their knowledge. We do not include them in the everyday life, they are our forgotten people.

After the lunch we went on our way to Sedona where we were going to have some special time with Drunvalo. He wanted to make it up to us, because the Hopi program was cancelled. We did not mind and were excited to work with him. He took us into the Secret Canyon, a beautiful red canyon. He explained that the red in the rocks, the iron, was causing magnetic fields and so created the vortex energy that was there. Before I came to Arizona, I had found a book about the vortex energy of places in and around Sedona. It was almost comparable to the vortex energy in Glastonbury in the UK, my home away from home. Now I felt for myself how strongly energetic these rocks were.

He took us to walk into it and stopped at a overhanging rock where he started to talk about the gathering. There were questions about the cancellation of the Hopi and Drunvalo explained that it had to do with politics. He had tried to intermediate between the Maya and the Hopi, but although progress was made, it was not enough to continue our program  there. The prophesy of  the Hopi had already predicted that there would be a war between the Hopi’s themselves before peace would come. This gathering  was only a beginning of the disagreement between Hopi, because they did not agree with each other about participating in the Gathering. I asked how this was effecting the peace in the rest of the world, but I did not get a good answer. I believe that everything that is now happening here, has its effect on the rest of the world. We will just have to wait and see.

Drunvalo spoke for more than an hour, he has so much information to share. Luckily I had my voice recorder and taped all of it. I can not go into everything he said, but basically it came down to something I had heard before. That there will be some immense changes in the world and that it is important to stay connected to your heart’s energy in order to deal with it all. We concluded the session with Drunvalo by singing a beautiful song composed by the musician of our group, a young man named Cole. The feeling of connection and love was just amazing. I know it may sound very mushy to some of you, but there are no words to describe this, you would have to be there.

After the talk we climbed up a rock and had the most beautiful view on the canyon. What a treat this day has been.
