I AM not alone because I am always with myself

 Why is this always true?

If you are a writer or philosophical person you understand this. Because you are ONLY who you are right now in this moment. You won't be the same person tomorrow or the next day because you will have different experiences than you are having now that will change you in small or large ways depending upon what you experience (All over the world or all over inside of yourself or soul traveling throughout the universe) or whatever you choose to do or to experience all the time or just for the moment.

So, as a writer especially I understand this.

1. I am who I am in this moment

2. I am another person when I read what I wrote whenever I read it later (days, weeks, months, years from now.

So, because of this and for many reasons I am NEVER alone because I am always becoming a newer and more evolved version of myself and I have already been doing this for almost 77 years already.

And if you are a writer you will understand this too whether you write plays or lyrics for songs or even if you are an artist where you might say: "I did this art in February 2000 or I did this art on March 2025 20 years from now. Time moves on with us or without us. It goes on forever.

One of the Forms of Vajrasattva sent me to Asia and to India and Nepal

This would be fall of 1985 and I was working a 6 month per year stint as a fire lookout about 10 or 15 miles form the nearest human being. Many people couldn't deal with being this remote but I sort of liked it except I didn't like being away from my family either 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 days a week. The other lookout and I alternated this schedule at this very remote lookout. also, since I wasn't allowed a gun there I had to watch for Wild Boar which will often kill an unarmed man or child. And at one point my car hit a large female guarding her babies who attacked my 1976 VW Rabbit that I was driving that day to work. I found her dead when I got off shift but I didn't know what had hit my car and driven me off the dirt road into a ditch until I got off shift either 3 1/2 or 4 1/2 days later from the remote lookout at 4000 feet elevation for the California Department of Forestry. Also, my wife and I also had two other businesses in addition to the Lookout job that I mostly took just for the health care (which was amazing) for the 5 of us. My wife and I and by then the kids were 10, 12 and 14 years old and this was a relatively easy way to afford health care for 5 people (The Health insurance). Because as small business owners we couldn't afford health insurance otherwise then in 1985.

So, Vajrasattva came to me around October 1985 at the Lookout and told me I would be leaving for India around December 10th 1985. We actually wound up leaving the 11th of December 1985 and all three of our kids went with us from December 11th 1985 until April of 1986 and we traveled to Japan, Thailand, Nepal by plane and to India by Buses and rented Cars and trains.

Nothing would have been more extreme a change in our lives except maybe going off planet than what we actually experienced in Asia at that time. Japan was the most like the U.S. then Thailand was even a little more exotic and different and almost no one either spoke English to us at all in Thailand except at our Guest Houses we stayed at in Bangkok and Koi Samed Island off the coast of Bangkok. On the island we snorked and rented a Sailboard because we found Bangkok too noisy and polluted (the Air was brown from smoke from no mufflers are all then on Cars and Trucks and motorcycles so you woke up from the incredible noise of thousands of motor vehicles every morning around 6 AM when cars and trucks and motorcycles started going everywhere. So, we were really grateful to get to a remote Island which was sort of like being on a more undeveloped part of Hawaii where I had lived already by then in 1974 with my first wife and baby son in Hilo, Hawaii. So, I felt very at home on Koi Samed Island because of my time with my first wife and son living in Hilo Hawaii.

Turning the Wheel of the Dharma

 Often Tibetan Lamas will speak of this. In some ways we live in desperate times here on earth. But, I think it has always been this way where you have to pray a lot to survive here wherever you are on earth.

So, Turning the wheel of the dharma isn't just for yourself it is for saving the lives of all the people who can also spread the Dharma in an infinite amount of ways.

Turning the wheel of Dharma is sort of like a "Rain of Blessings" for all life on earth. It alters both time and space and even Karma. It is something that Tibetan Lamas naturally do for ALL LIFE on earth to reduce the suffering of all beings.

Being a clairvoyant I have seen this in action countless times saving people's lives who are instrumental in the survival and prospering of the human race in all ways.

As humans survive they also tend to help  all other creatures survive better too.

So, this is what "Turning the Dharma Wheel" is to help save the human race from suffering and to enlighten all beings into a much better way of life ongoing.

It facilitates all beings who practice Kindness to themselves and all other beings to help more and more as time goes on and it also lengthens lifetimes so they can be more helpful to all live on earth and beyond.

It is very very very practical in preserving life on earth in all good ways.

Tashi Delek!

Which means "Good Luck" in Tibetan.

 

 

 

 

This is sort of a part 2 of the previous article on the Tibetan Lama from Ashland Oregon who has since passed away

The man that the Ashland Oregon Lama had me pick up in my 1974 International Harvester Scout II 4 wheel drive then in 1983 was called "Ken Ellis" from Canada. Over the course of the next year or so he introduced me and my family to several Tibetan Lamas that he had connections with including Chakdud Tulku in Cottage Grove Oregon who was a Tibetan Doctor and a Lama Combined who was also a Nyingma Lama like Gyaltrul Rinpoche who gave me my first initiation into Tibetan Buddhism in 1980 in Ashland, Oregon.

So, I took Ken Ellis to where he wanted to pray and meditate on Mt. Shasta. However, I also worried about him because I told him that it was expected to snow the next day and I put him at least 10 miles from the nearest Gas Station up on Mt. Shasta as he requested.

So, when one or two feet of snow came down I realized that this much snow would have collapsed his tent and that I probably needed to go rescue him. Also, a friend had left his School Bus that had a wood stove inside and a bed and other stuff iny storage there on my 2 1/2 acres. So, I went to rescue Ken Ellis from the snow storm.

When I got there he was really in a fix because the snow had collapsed his tent because there was so much of it. So, I helped him gather his things and put them in the back of my 1974 IH Scout II and headed home to our A-Frame and 2 1/2 acres of land in my 4 wheel drive vehicle through the snow.

I built him a fire in the wood stove in the converted School bus then and set him up staying there with us for awhile on the land because he was going to freeze to death otherwise. He began to teach us about Tibetan Buddhism through his experiences with Tibetan lamas in the U.S. and overseas. He eventually introduced me and my family to around 10 or 12 different Tibetan Lamas in Oregon and California, especially in Santa Cruz and San Francisco California and we got many more Tibetan Buddhist Initiations and practices during this time. within 6 months or so Ken Ellis took off and I have never heard from him since. But, our connections to several of the Lamas we met and were initiated by continued both in California and Nepal and in India at Bodhgaya where the Buddha became enlightened 2500 years ago there in India.

Gautama Buddha was a prince of Lumbini who was expected to be King of Lumbini which is now near the India and Nepal Border in Asia.

As I was composing all this I found a comforter fuzzy blanket with Star fish on it as I thought of Gyaltrul Rinpoche ministering to the Star Fish at the ocean somewhere in likely Oregon or California when he first arrived likely from India possibly from Dharamshala, India where there are many Tibetan lamas and Tibetan Refugees living near the Dalai Lama who is sort of the Pope of not only Tibetan Buddhists but in some ways represents all Buddhists on earth in some ways too because he is so famous as the Dalai Lama who ruled all of Tibet as a young man under the tutelage of Ling Rinpoche then.

I saw Ling Rinpoche in Dharamshala in likely January or February of 1986. I was taken there by a Gelukpa Monk who was a student of Geshe Lobsang Gyatso who was a Gelukpa Tibetan lama under the Dalai Lama. 

So, when my family and I walked to visit Ling Rinpoche who used to rule Tibet until the Dalai Lama was grown up I walked into a slate roofed mountain cabin made of stones and cement. Inside were two monks taking care of the body of Ling Rinpoche. I asked whether Ling Rinpoche was ever coming back to his body from this meditation and they said "No".

However, I could experience as a clairvoyant in a way similar to Tibetan Tulkus that Ling Rinpoche was in Maitreya Heaven and projecting this heaven back on the Earth through me and my family. I went outside and cried in amazement because my own father had passed away about 6 months before this and I had pushed his body into a crematorium oven in Yucca Valley area of California after kissing him on the forehead then.

So, seeing the Maitreya heaven come through this Ling Rinpoches body in the Maitreya Mudra position of meditation was probably the most amazing spiritual experience of my lifetime.

And I have carried Maitreya's  heaven in my Aura from this experience ever since.
