 Hello, beloveds. Greetings from Camus, Utah, on a beautiful sunny Utah Day. Yes, just getting ready here for the Awake in the Heart Show, where Kirsten Buxton will be doing the first of a four-part series called I'm Married to Mystic. It's a book that has been in the making for some years. Probably about ten years after the notes were taken from traveling and living and being used by the Holy Spirit with me. And then these last couple years, at least two or three years, really putting the book together from the notes. So that's going to be fun. If you hear this this morning and you want to tune in live, just go to EllenVirtual on livingmiracles.org. Just click on the Ellen Virtual tab and you can go and register, download the free software on Zoom, and watch the first installment of the four-part series on I'm Married to Mystic with Kirsten Buxton and myself today. And I'll just be here for part one because very soon I will be kicking off a world tour that will carry me across the Atlantic Ocean over first to Spain for a little resting point. I'll pass through up there in Holland in the Netherlands and then I'll come down to rest in Barcelona for a couple, two, three days and then join in progress a week-long retreat which will be going on in Finland, the very southern part of Finland. If you'd like to attend that, you can go to livingmiracles.org. Just go to coming events and you'll see all these events on that page. And really look forward to it. It's just going to be a wonderful time. Every time I go to Europe there's something huge and significant that seems to be going on in the world. One time I went over and it was the Euro Cup playing and when I spoke my last words of the entire country, several country tour throughout Europe, I was in Spain and Spain won the World Cup and so all these people began celebrating. It just happened to be synchronized with the timing of when I spoke my last word of the whole tour on the last gathering on the last day. So that was kind of fun. One time I went over and they had just discovered the quantum mechanics, quantum physicists had just discovered, they called it the God Particle. Higgs Boson had been searching for it for years and so the spirit was speaking through me all about Higgs Boson and the God Particle and that seems to slow down, everything's really moving at the speed of light but slow down things to give the appearance of matter in a material world. So the spirit had a fun time with that one. One time I was there and I believe it was when Pope Benedict had resigned and so they were picking a new Pope and they picked the one that is now called himself Pope Francis from Argentina so that was, every time there's something big, this time I think it's Brexit and that seems to be on everybody's minds. So I'm sure that will be a backdrop for many interesting discussions about inclusion and exclusion and about betrayal, abandonment, all kinds of talk of scarcity, lack, economics, unity of countries, independence of countries, cultural trends, polling, votes and all kinds of things, politics. So I'm sure we'll have some very, very interesting discussions but for me it begins when I join in on what will be a week-long retreat in southern Finland also looking forward to a five-day retreat in Holland and a couple one-day gatherings in Wooster in England and the other ones down near Kent. So yeah, I also plan to visit my friend Maria Diaz in the London area later on and I think it's going to be actually around the 12th and 13th of August and shortly thereafter go up, Michiel McHoney and friends, dear friends up in Cork just to the north, Cork, Ireland and Tanja Vu, my friend, Facebook friends look forward to sharing the time up in Cork and it looks like August is filling up pretty, pretty quickly a lot of things going back and forth from Casa Mixi which is down just a little south of Barcelona it's our news center over in Europe be launching out of Casa Mixi and then I would say after that first swing mostly through August coming back from Amsterdam down to Barcelona on the 3rd of September that's going to lead me with a beautiful little stretch of time there from about the 4th of September through about the 22nd of September so not sure that I'll be all the time there in Casa Mixi friends, Susana Ortiz has invited me to come over to her little town kind of her stone house, monastery looking house out there about an hour west of Madrid, Spain and my friend Diana Markin has expressed some interest in maybe doing some traveling never taken a trip, a driving trip around Europe I've been doing a lot of flying many times over throughout Europe but yeah, keeping it all open to possibly running a car in Madrid and doing a little trip around to visit my friend Susana maybe over to visit friends in the Lisbon area case case right along the coast Fernanda and Antonio possibly on up to southern Spain along the Mediterranean my friend Fabian who's in Heirs near Toulon and yeah, always nice to go up in southern Spain and also southern France and then who knows, maybe back down to Casa Mixi or the trips moving along at a really good pace possibly Brussels, Belgium or over near Frankfurt, Germany my friend Manuela is a beautiful Course in Miracles community maybe about an hour northeast of Frankfurt and then of course south of Brussels I believe it's where my friends Ken Kelly and Brigitte are based with their one process so I haven't been able to see them for a couple of years, two, three years so it's going to be fun scooting around over there in Europe so I'm really looking forward to it looking forward to the long flight across and popping across the route is going to be over from Salt Lake City Minneapolis, Amsterdam and then down to Barcelona rest a few days and then head on over to Helsinki on my way towards the Finland retreat so yeah, I really enjoy the meditative flights just sinking inward it's like all goes by in a blink it's really quite amazing how when we're so focused and purpose everything goes by in a blink it's like the passage of time does not touch our heart, our presence it's really we become unaware of the passage of time living in this glorious moment that's really what the Holy Instance is about where you become fully, fully present and you lose track of time you become unaware of the passage of time how joyful, how glorious and really as far as it goes even with this seeming year of 2016 it's flown by so, so, so fast I was feeling at the end of last year it would be kind of a spontaneous travel year and it's turned out to be quite a bit of travel in Mexico and thereabouts around there visiting friends along the coast, Cancun Jorge and Brenda and their beautiful little group of friends there and then over to Puerto Vallarta beautiful restful time there along the coast and just I would say I remember Diana and I with our trip up through Southern California and the beautiful canyons up to Northern California dear friends up there moving around different visits already this year to Vancouver and Calgary, Canada over to Estes Park, Colorado and Boulder, Colorado and yeah it's just been a beautiful time we got to visit Cincinnati, the Peace House got to go to Columbus, Ohio for a bookstore gathering see my friend Cindy and her new husband and yeah it's just been beautiful, beautiful travels thus far already a trip to this year all the way over to Australia Melbourne, Australia, Sydney up to visit our beloved community up in Mudgee so yeah it's just amazing it's gone by in a blink these first seven months of 2016 if it is flashed by and yeah in a few days it's launch time to head over for the European segment of the travels so many beloveds along the way such a deep devoted life just glorious witnesses springing up everywhere to this love and divinity that we have been created as shining and sharing and expressing beautiful retreats, conferences just so, so much so I'm really looking forward to the this beautiful, beautiful trip coming up across the Atlantic Ocean and I think it all told I think we're looking at approximately almost eight weeks of travel to and back from but eight weeks over in Europe so that's a beautiful splashdown time for me to to come over there and share in China I really look forward to seeing all of you Nick Davis and Anne are hosting us up there in Worcester, England for an all day and we've got a couple all day gatherings in England Francis and I will be up there on that there will be a group of messengers there in Holland Jenny Firestuff or Jenny Donner coming along with Finland and Holland and Francis and I, Jason Warwick coming across to Finland so we're going to have a beautiful time all of us we always do to see what all happens but it's always very deep I think with Finland in particular we'll have an amazing Finnish translator who's a beautiful woman that will has done some translating on one of our recent calls looking forward to seeing her again beautiful friends, Anu always took joy to see her in Finland so that's going to be one segment of the world tour and I'll come back over here to the United States for a sign of retreat at the monastery Living Miracles Monastery out near between Fruitland, Utah and Duchyne, Utah out in a beautiful canyon area Strawberry River Canyon and the Strawberry River winds down through it gorgeous little area and then that's going to be for about a week starting at the very end I believe around the 30th of September through about the 6th of October and then I write around the 12th or so I will fly across to Beijing, China and join with Francis Zhu for a beautiful three-day weekend gathering in the capital of China, Beijing and then the following weekend fly to Tokyo, Japan where Francis and I will do our first teaching session will be a weekend event really we have popped through there we popped through Tokyo I think I've been to Tokyo maybe a couple of times just in the airport but this time it's time to get out and shine and share so our dear friend Hiro is organizing that and just has a real good feel to it's great, great to be going to Japan my book Awakening through a Course in Miracles is translated into Japanese so it's kind of infiltrating and spreading around a bit there very mystical book but it's starting to take root over there beautiful published book I have to say of all the cover designs I've ever seen wow, that one's sparkling and dazzling the Japanese edition of Awakening through a Course in Miracles I've met a lot of Japanese students of Course in Miracles and a lot of them are studying that book Awakening through a Course in Miracles at the conferences in Chicago and also in New York City and to some extent a few also in Las Vegas, Nevada so these recent large Course in Miracles conferences the Japanese contingent of Course in Miracles students has been very very strong particularly with Chicago and New York City that is my memory I used to go the translator of A Course in Miracles into Japanese and also my book worked on and completed Awakening through a Course in Miracles beautiful beautiful woman very very devoted and her partner Chris lovely people so hope to make it over there to New York City as time permits and go to her CRS center there in New York City so and then it's not over it's after Japan, the world tour Francis and I will fly all the way down to Melbourne for the first ACIM conference in Australia and there's a whole beautiful lineup our friend Melanie from the community out there at Mudgey will be speaking there and Kate Greaves will be speaking and organizing Sophie, Stephen Deen who just visited our monastery and visited us in Camus newly married Stephen Deen his wife, Vicky it looks sort of deceiving them I think Stephen's going to be speaking on Friday hard, speaking on Saturday and Francis and I on Sunday the final Sunday of October the final day of October and then probably visit with some dear dear friends down in the Melbourne area and south of Melbourne there's Linda Stakko and Mirabella and just a whole group of people Tia, her husband James spend a little time down there and then work our way up to Sydney and take a little pelican air flight across to Mudgey for a week long retreat up in Mudgey that'll be the last retreat of the world tour from like the fourth to the tenth I believe it's such a devoted group of our beloved community living there in Mudgey and yeah a whole week to dive deep, deep, deeper, deeper into the presence of God's love and feel our oneness and our unity that deep connection spirit so after that I do I think I've got a flight scheduled back to the States, back to Utah around the 17th of November but you never know it's springtime in Australia so perhaps there'll be some time for some visiting some travel and visiting there in Australia that would be fun to go visit a friend, my Facebook friend Amy over in Adelaide it's just an amazing, amazing place in Australia I've had so many glorious experiences just was there this year but heading back there again this year there was a stretch in there from I think around 2004 or 2005 that there was a stretch of seven consecutive years of visiting Australia so just has been so dear such a dear, dear part of my journey so much opening, meeting so many people and then here we are really years later, just five years later after all those trips to Australia we have a community down there based in Mudgee, hosting Francis and I for our week-long retreat and just, it's just so precious just so precious so yeah it's pretty interesting flying around as I head over to Casa Mixi over in Barcelona just reminded that's, that'll be the the seventh different community property that I'll be visiting it's quite amazing you think of our community it's probably only in the upper 20s in terms of numbers of people spread around this point as I'm recording right now I think we have six, six active communities up and running in different parts of the world I've mentioned some of them but Casa de Milagros is in Mexico Casa Mixi in Barcelona, Spain we've got our community in Mudgee it's part of Living Miracles Australia and then we have the Peace House up and running and flowing right now we've got Eric, Ricky, Serena springing out, Eric and Ricky springing out this, right now they're out for like a 10 day tour and then here in Utah with the Living Miracles Monastery they're a metaphysical center in Camus so it's quite vibrant, quite alive spread out really across the world and such a joy to be touching down in some of the places that I have been to but really haven't been for a little while with Japan and China so I'm really looking forward to it I think I'll close today before I, it's about a half an hour I get on the show with Kirsten to talk about her new book Waking the Heart, L.M. Virtual I'll close today with a poem from my book, Glimpse of Grace and Diana brought this up she changed the color to pink-purple and she just read this to me yesterday I thought, how appropriate for the feeling I have in my heart how appropriate for all the beloveds and these blessed travels shining and sharing in purpose shining the light of Christ the light of love, the light of our heart I will give the happiest life for ever lived flowers blooming all the time the words you hear will be in rhyme love with me and I will show you how everyone will seem to know you for love for all will surely increase and in your soul you will find true peace the agreement we make simple and true to be who we are, the one Christ true will travel the earth and act without plans to answer the call of our heart through the lens
