I think this was October on one of the last few weeks I was working at the Fire Lookout at around 4000 feet elevation then. Being there gave me a lot of time by myself and so Vajrasattva (a Tibetan Buddhist high Diety) came to me and told me that I was going to India around December 10th 1985.
I have lived long enough to know that when God and Angels come to me that they are always right.
So, I went home after that 4 day shift at the fire lookout and told my wife we were going to India by December the 10th. Her comment was: "How will we pay for this?"
I said, "I don't know but this appears to be happening."
Within a month an inheritance came in and made us going more possible.
Then I called a local travel agent and they wanted 10,000 dollars just for airfare for the whole family to go to Asia so at this point this was just too much money and so I gave up the idea.
Then my mother joined us and an old friend to walk down the Haight Ashbury Section of San Francisco sort of reminiscing about the 1960s in San Francisco when he was a writer for the "Berkeley Barb".
Then my mother saw a special in a window of 250 dollars for a week or two in Hawaii at a Travel Agency and wanted to go inside to enquire. So, i went in with her because this sounded too good to be true.
Then I realized that this place was amazing because they also sold discount tickets that were open ended for College researchers like Archeologists and I realized this might be the way for us to go to India and Nepal and Thailand and Japan!
So, I asked about this and he said that it would be 6000 dollars to travel to Kathmandu through Narito Aiport in japan and Bangkok, thailand on the way to Kathmandu, Nepal. I had the money with me I think in Traveler's checks or a check from the bank from my checkbook so I wrote a check for 6000 dollars to this Travel place and bought 5 open ended 6 month tickets to Kathmandu through Japan and Thailand and we could even go to Hong Kong if we wanted to.
However, we never went to Hong Kong simply because we wanted to do that on the way back but by then in late March of 1986 we were too sick from Giardia (4 of the 5 of us).
So, this is actually how we got to Kathmandu, Nepal and India which was the trip of a lifetime from December 11th when we flew out of San Francisco to Narito Airport in japan 1st class on a JAL Boeing 747 which was a completely amazing experience then.
So, Vajrasattva was right who is the highest evolved Buddha in the Universe along with his consort Nyema. They got us to India and Nepal and Thailand and Japan on time.
By God's Grace
