April 2009You may need to click "load images"
or something similar to see the photos Welcome I presented my Intuition talk in Dunedin this month, but the highlight of the month was the School of
Theosophy at the Tauhara Centre in Taupo. The photo is of the sanctuary at Tauhara. It was an extremely positive
school. The main speaker was Dara Tatray, the president of the
Theosophical Society in Australia. She presented morning sessions on
the Perennnial Philosophy
in a very understandable way. I presented 4 x 1.5 hour sessions on chaos
and complexity that fitted in very well, giving a materialistic
scientific balance to the spiritual focus of the perennial
philosophy.
There was a worker on the roof who heard my workshop and really
liked it too! We also had Murray Stentiford presenting practical
healing  tools,
and Murray Rogers presenting alterntative currencies and the seven rays. It was great to go back to Tauhara after something like 20 years. It brought back great memories. I also got to spend time with Brian Layton, who came across from Murupara for the day.   Emerald is over in Australia working for a while and I
am preparing for my two week speaking tour of the North Island for the
Theosophical Society later this month. I have decided to go to Brisbane
in July for the 2009 ISSS Systems Theory conference, so it's a busy time. Work continues editing my book.Rowena and Max returned from their holiday on Stewart Island on their boat. They caught a tuna just as they were coming past Taiaroa heads, which we ate. The photo on the right is of some terns at the Carey's Bay jetty. Best of the Net I found a fun Awarness Test on Youtube.Great talk on TED about the economy and possible futures. Here is another great talk on TED showing how we will soon use our mobile phones. Sometimes you just have to take the leap, and build your wings on the way down.--Kobi Yamada |

It has dropped into the background a bit with so much happening. I hope to get time for more reading than usual on my North Island tour.The Moses Legacy by Graham Phillips I bought this book at a Whitcoulls sale for $5.00. It is another book looking a the history of the Hebrew people and the possibility that Moses was actually a member of the Egyptian royalty, who was thrown out and came to lead the Hebrew slaves into the desert. The theory may or may not have truth to it, but it an interesting story of how history can become a mythology and then a sacred text. Phillips suggests the sacred mountain of God where Moses gets the ten commandments is near Petra in Syria and was in the land of the Edomite people, who were the Hebrew descendants of Esau. |
