From the Cave of the Dreaming Dragon*

Before everything else, let me provide the links to some of my poetry published in two recent journals, one poem in the first and 4 in the second. I was surprised to read a couple of comments about me from two authors.

We’re all busy at this time late in the year, I am sure. I’ve been busy myself. Continue reading “From the Cave of the Dreaming Dragon*”

July 2016 News

Summer now and there’s a lot more to do.
I’ve read some books, a few by Joseph Campbell on mythology, some about the Tibetan yoga of death and dying and dreams. I am just about to finish a manual on how to access the Akashic Records: I had heard about the technique back in Cairo in the millennium when I was actively teaching in Egypt. And then there’s Susan Brind Marrow’s impressive “The Dawning Moon of the Mind: Unlocking The Pyramid Texts” that I read and re-read. I had been to Saqqara but I did not know the texts existed.

Healing in Myanmar

I must apologize again for my intermittent blogs. I am not used to writing a regular journal nor have I developed the habit of writing at a certain time in the morning or reading the newspaper every day. I cannot dispense ideas at the spur of the moment or write about important issues unless I have had the opportunity to assess the implications of an event. I cannot talk about my daily activities and chores either. From the social network media I have seen, participants/bloggers even write about and post photos of what they eat or something mushy or trashy they have read in the media, an enormous trivia if there’s one. I do very little socializing because I have a small circle of friends and most of them do not live in the area. My personal life revolves around a few things that I can count on the fingers of one hand – following the Daoist canon and practices (including Qigong and Neidan/internal alchemy), going to the gym whenever I can for a regimen of Classical Yang Family Tai chi chuan fist and weapons Wudang forms and Buddhist Shaolin sets, reading materials (books, magazines and journals) I could get hold of.

Peru Photo Gallery

When I left Peru in May 2014, I could not find my camera. I reported the loss to the hotel management and asked them to conduct an investigation. I could not remember where I put it when I left for the airport but later, it occurred to me that the last time I had it, I put it inside the luggage that I deposited with the hotel staff while I was waiting for limousine service. I got in touch with the tour company and told them about the “lost” camera. Things began to move fast. Continue reading “Peru Photo Gallery”
