One: 02-08-2009 (Turning Point, India)

Hi All

Well, I finally I managed to get down to writing this blog. I arrived back a few weeks ago from another pleasant trip to Nieu Bethesda, and now I’m busy preparing for my departure to India. At last my dreams of traveling to the East are coming true, and alarmingly fast; I am set to fly out in just 2 short weeks. A few years ago I realized that my path would take me to the East, that there I would learn all I desired to know, and where I would fully realize my purpose. I know my path lies in service of humanity, aiding its own growth toward a state Peace and Unconditional Love. I have devoted myself to this path, and my time in India will be spent not only assisting with the Boundaryless Multiversity (which I will get to in a moment), but also developing myself so that I may be of greater service.

Before going on, I must say that many people may think that dreaming of such a world, where each person is equal, accepted, and loved is idealistic and unrealistic, or even impossible. If you can think it, then it is possible. While I believe we can expect to see some radical changes for the better, even if that isn’t the case, I would rather work towards creating a peaceful and loving reality for all, rather than sink into the habitual negative and cynical thinking that so many in this world seem to be stuck in.

I know I’m not the only one who feels this way, and many are actively working towards a better world for all. This is being done in various ways, from simple helping of friends and volunteering at homeless shelters, to large scale fundraisers, empowerment workshops, and community outreach programs. I have been particularly drawn to a friend’s vision of a Boundaryless World, and the university (or Multiversityas it has been called) that he, Munesh, is working towards opening with this vision in mind: to break down the barriers that separate people, and to express unconditional Love and acceptance to all. This university will not simply be about studying for a degree, but more about developing high moral and ethical character. Munesh hopes to have a 14 week event (called Turning Point) from September 21st until December 25th 2009, where all people interested in participating in the development of this university, come together and live as a community on campus [which is in Jabalpur, India] for that time, to embrace one another’s cultures, to celebrate a number of festivals from various cultures that happen during that time, and to share ideas as to how the institution will be run, courses on offer etc.

Unfortunately the number of people able to attend the event is miniscule, and to really make this work, we need a variety of different people. I hope this message finds its way to people who really share this vision of a world that is at Peace, where people Love and support one another unconditionally, and where man lives in harmony with Nature. If you or anyone you know is interested in being a part of this, and wants to make the trip to India for what I’m sure will be a really beautiful experience, please contact me and I will get you in touch with Munesh as soon as I can. [For more info, see the links at the end of this message]

I am excited to be going to India to participate in all this, but as I said earlier, I want to develop myself further so that I may be of greater service wherever I am called to be. So, much time will also be spent in ashrams around India. I have recently taken quite an interest in Yoga and wish to explore this while I am there.

I’m sure I will be met with very interesting challenges and exciting experiences. I believe one should share what they are busy learning about, so I hope to continue my blogs and do just that, in a way that will benefit and inspire those who read these messages.

As always it has been a pleasure writing this. I hope to have another blog sent out before I leave, discussing the concept of Transition Initiatives.

Your brother in Love and Service

Ryan
