| 28th September 2009 CraniOcean | Spirit Playing at Having a Human Experience - From: CranioSacral Therapy Facilitator on KKCR Kauai Did respond to this post? No one can take the credit for it -- certainly no one person. Not even for the writing of a book. Or the making of a pot of tea. It's all the harmony of the ALL and the Real. One can always express appreciation for another. I'm amazed and in awe of what expresses through You -- Thank you. (It's all spirit Playing at having a human experience, eh Gypsy?) |
| 28th September 2009 CraniOcean | Washington State - From: Mother Theresa Orphanages Hi, please check out the links posted above. Thank you! |
| 28th September 2009 CraniOcean | Mother Theresa, Obama, and Bharti - From: Mother Theresa Orphanages Bharti, Thanks so much for your interest in assisting those in need. Haven't seen such interest in true Community Service "to visit with the widows and the fatherless," in the previous years -- just this year since Obama. This is a good thing. A lot is answered on this blog and in blog comments. Go to this link and you find instructions there. Follow your Heart. Go where you are drawn to go, and when you are drawn to go there. http://www.motherteresa.org/layout.html Be at your very best and walk in with a gentle, "Namaste," "Salam," or, "Blessings." Offer your services kindly and respectfully. Have fun y Vaya con Dios JN |
| 28th September 2009 CraniOcean | Orphanges in the Americas - From: Mother Theresa Orphanages So grateful for your interest! Re-posting most of what posted before to a previous comment: It's easy to find a Mother Theresa Orphanage in major cities in India (New Delhi, Varanasi -- formerly the Holy City of Benares), and so on -- just keep your eyes and ears open -- and an Open Heart. Go and visit where you are drawn to go. You can also search online to volunteer in advance of your trip. http://www.motherteresa.org/layout.html If you are traveling there and want to be of service -- even on a whim -- and when you come across one of her orphanages, just be at your very best and walk in with a gentle, "Namaste," "Salam," or, "Blessings." Offer your services kindly and respectfully. Be a doer and not a hearer only. It was a privilege to offer craniosacral therapy to the infants and toddlers there. Another fellow from Canada got his own place in Varanasi and would simply play with the children in the yard each afternoon he was there. Let them get to know you. Just an offering of heart-centered service can just be playing with the children. You might want to look after your own lodgings and food, okay? After challenging travels and too many scenes, suddenly, the sky and the heavens open up for all of you with one kind action. Use common sense. You are there as a guest -- be what to you, is a good guest. There is one address posted above in the blog to donate blankets. If you give any donations, money or blankets, give or mail them to the orphanage directly. Otherwise, they are absorbed by red tape of the Church -- way it goes. I don't think there is a Mother Theresa Orphanage in Washington State, but there are other orphanages there. Mother Theresa's are unique for all are invited to contribute. Here is a list of other orphanages and addresses in the Americas (SCROLL DOWN) including Latin America. http://www.motherteresa.org/07_family/Volunteering/v_cal.html#5a It's really fun. Once you start, you'll be looking for orphanages in the next country you go to. There is no compensation and yet it can be so compelling to assist and to help out. Community Service, as I'm sure you know, can be addictive! And very welcome! Have fun and Vaya Con Dios |

| 11th February 2006 anonymous | buffalo soldiers... - From: India to IndiaNA Laughed my ass off. ( the blog, the blog!!!) Are you sure you in the right business Bro? Even when you mean to be serious you are funny and don't take anything for a fact. I wouldn't want to be on your table (in a bad mood) James. Next to Buffalo? or somewhere in between? Just kidding. Miss you Bro. |
| 8th February 2006 anonymous | - From: "BIG Trouble" I'd like to meet Mr Anger Issues one more time! |
| 31st January 2006 William Koehler | From Bill - From: pointS of view Love this travel blog. Reflects your sense of humor coupled with real thoughts occurring in real time. Stay healthy and get some new reading glasses Peace brother Bill |
| 19th January 2006 CraniOcean | the hat - From: May Peace Prevail on Earth James, Love the travel blog, especially the photo of "satisfied." Reminds me of Indiana Jones. Great hearing from you. I will follow up more on Zaadz L,Joe |
| 19th January 2006 CraniOcean | water work - From: GIFT OF SIGHT Hi, I just read some of your blogs. I was wondering if you happened to know any cranio therapists in the south of India. Who did you study Cranio under? I have taken three classes with Hugh Milne. Also I have experienced cranial unwinding in the water with Gary Strauss in Hawaii. (he is in Topanga) I would love to have some Cranio in India if possible. If you have any info to pass on it would be very appreciated. Thank you |
| 19th January 2006 CraniOcean | don't worry about a thing - From: don't worry bout a thing Dear James - It's been a while since we heard from you - been checking your blog site - no new news had me concerned so was delighted to open site today to find new communication. We had amazing prividgles (sp?)to be born where we were at the time we were - it makes some of the things we we fought dad and mom about seem pretty small. One thing I admire about Dad and Mom - they really tried to make a difference with their lives - they both started with nothing - but instead of using that as an excuse to keep all they acquired, they contributed to the community where they lived and to the greater community of the world, most often in secret, before they indulged themselves in things like the mauselum (sp?). It's amazing the times and places where they put their money - and their actions - where they often didn't put their mouths - they were just as likely to give in secret than for the world to see- especially when they were yo! unger. India was hard on them, so much pain, so much poverty. I am thankful for your actions today, helping those you come into contact with, for you never know who you might touch. As a rock thrown into a pond spreads ripples that grow larger and larger. And didn't Christ say something like "when you help the least of these" - if we only help the world one person at a time - isn't that enough? Thank you for being the strong, caring, gentle man you are. Love, every day. Your sister, Francie |
| 19th January 2006 CraniOcean | don't worry bout a thing - From: don't worry bout a thing Glad you made it back, ok. And your place in Florida is only without electricity. It seems james was able to avoid the "big trouble" in both places. In some places courtney goes, there's the saying, "One is too many, and a thousand - never enough." I guess that could mean that Billion$ is even more "never enough"! Been having fun with license plates. Thank you, |
| 18th January 2006 Bloomingbluelotus.blogspot.com | Holy cows make the best meat! - From: Bill and Susan An anecdote you might appreciate...Sri Aurobindo - a bonafied Indian guru - was once visited by a devout devotee from a far away land. He found Aurobindo smoking. "What? you smoke?! But you are holy man!???" He uttered in flabbergasted amazement...all his projections and images of a holy man flustered on the screen of his mind before him and seriously fucking with his head at the moment. Nonchalantly, Aurobindo replied matter of factly: "Yes, I am addicted." :) Holy cows make the best meat! |
| 18th January 2006 Bloomingbluelotus.blogspot.com | Carolyn and the carpet baggers! - From: Off to LA Thanks James I checked out your blog - nice! I have listened to Carolyn Myss quite a few times - and enjoyed to hear her take on things...an original thinker Her taking 400 women to Egypt sort of blends one of my worst nightmares and something that could be genuinely interesting....I mean I have traveled a hell of a lot - I have lived in 12 countries in the last twelve years! - and I don't do coach tours well - nothing makes me feel more like a tourist than being in a coach - and I prefer to travel not to "tourist"! If you get my drift. I guess what she does caters to a population of "new age" American women who like to travel in comfort and numbers...and hopefully it leads them down healing tracks... I was not born in the USA - but I lived for many years. I think of myself as a human - because I can't stand the idea of being wed to any country - they are all just too fucked up for that! :) I have noticed though that Americans like sameness...I am sure all cultures do. But America made it an international brand - a Holiday Inn in Milwaukee and Madras are basically the same creature...When you can wake up in the same surroundings no matter where you are - maybe you feel a little safer...I am not really sure why there is such an urge to make this bland, brand of sameness in corporate hotels....but it is a clear trend...MTV, Sesame Street, coffee and bacon are there wherever you go....Kind of sad in some ways...but understandable too as technology takes man's consciousness towards a more global footing... However - the subtle depths of our cultural heritage can be covered over by superficial escapism - and that is a very real concern - and I imagine "Carolyn Tours INC" try and look for the common mythological motifs of ancient cultures and our own - and how that all ties into the psychospiritual vehicle we are all walking around in/as...I imagine - she is on to something - but my hunch is that what one gets in the end is a little watered down and cliched - maybe I am wrong...Clearly though she is a good businesswoman and more power to her for that! At the same time - like you perhaps - I am always wary of healers who jump on the salesman's wagon and pedal things...America leads the world in this activity - though by the sounds of things your muslim carpet sellers are catching up! - by selling itself the idea that EVERYTHING can be bought...Spiritual insight included...! Hah! |
| 6th November 2005 Joe Bankhead | This is a great surprise. - From: Other Preparations James, Besides being great to hear from you, I am totally looking forward to taking the trip to India with you. I have always wanted to go. I don't know about going along with Caroly Myss, however, I think she is ???? L, Joe |
| 22nd October 2005 fn-g | tasty - From: "BIG Trouble" Your blog is like a box of chocolates - tasty. love your point of view and how much you convey with how few words. It is a treat to visit your site. |
| 22nd October 2005 Francie | Guru - From: GURUS everywhere Or maybe they just all wear Guru hats to confuse tourists? |
| 21st October 2005 Arpan Steven | A Little Tip on Indian Culture - From: GURUS everywhere I must admit that at first I was a little disturbed by your comments. I however must give concessions since you must be new to India. As a native Indian, I would like you learn a little about Indian Culture. The Gurus you were talking about are known as Sikhs as they follow a religion called Sikhism. The Sikh men are bound by religious covenant to sport beards and long hair which must be covered by a turban. I believe the Gurus of the West wear Turbans to give it an Indian touch and to garner clientele. The Gurus (or teachers) in India have no such obligation and may wear whatever they choose, even a suit and tie if they fancy. India is a land of many races and languages. Each state in India has its own official language. It is not uncommon to find villages just a few KM apart but having their own customs and dialects. Hope you enjoy your stay in India. |
| 17th October 2005 Francie | Keep it coming! - From: Abandoned in Hong Kong Just read all comments so far. It was fun to catch up all at once. A washing machine would take second place to a trip to India any day! How do we get copies of your books? Can't imagine how Hong Kong must have changed since '78 and the Chineese have taken over. Keep it personal and keep it coming - love your attitude. And what a cliff hanger - did you make it to India after all? |
