    When i was travelling around India 12 years ago i was very honoured to be " Guided" to visit a Brahman Family that belonged to an ancient linage of the Naadi Shastra,

    The Naadi Shastra are ancient palm leaves written 2000yrs ago by Brahman Scribes and document the geology of all souls from the beginning. The leaves are preserved with peacock oil. They are engraved in the ancient Tamil and are stored in secret underground library's. And only Naadi Priests know how to read them. Naadi translated means Palm Leaf, Shastra Translated means Science of Astrology.

    Lordy this is such a long story and after 12years passing is still an ongoing experience in my life. I have been contemplating starting a thread on the subject.

    Long story short.

    After giving the Naadi priest my left hand thumb print which connects you to what tribe you originate from and my name I was asked by the Naadi priest to only answer YES or NO to the questions he was going to ask me during the identification process. This process is minutely detailed.

    Written on these ancient leaves was every detail of my present life, Family, names, places, work, Deeds i had performed and Deeds that i had not performed . How many family members were still alive at that time, I was married, divorced, my daughter, my stepson, How many children my siblings had.
    And Much more, Even the name of my girlfriend who was in my life at that time. A mind blowing experience that took more than 2 yrs to complete.

    After the identification process was complete, the Naadi Priest accepted that those leaves belonged to me. And i could now have them read to me. 14 chapters in all. It is written in the leaves when you will come to the Naadi and whether you are allowed to have them read to you. I was so privileged that i still have a 15th chapter to be read to me, very rare, they said, when the time is right.


    He proceeded to tell me about my past life in every detail. My sixth life here on earth, Where and when i was born, My family and members, What deeds i performed and what deeds i did not perform. What illnesses and when i died. And much more.

    There was a fifty year gap from when i died in my last life and reborn in this life which they said is my 7th and my last. All sacred contracts will be complete in this life.

    Them he read with my permission details of my future destiny in this life. He chanted while reading the ancient Tamil and it was translated by a family member. Part of one of the ceremonies was i had to hold in my hand the 2000yr old leaves that belonged to me.

    I hope to return in the next couple of years to complete the process.

    Thought i would share.

    peace

    Thanks for sharing this. You have had such an interesting life and done so many journeys. I read about your adventures in India, and also in Yugoslavia with great interest.
    Didn't you once share a website here, or was it a blog?

    I'm also sure that this is your last time here, but ultimately it is your own choice.
    If you see a need that earth will benefit from further services from you, then you can return, if you want. That is the true freedom, when no one other than ourselves decides on our behalf.
    But that freedom comes only after we learn to be givers instead of takers.

    Some believe that only intense suffering will free them from the endless cycle of birth and rebirth, but I don't think that is necessary at all. In fact, it could be the kind of thing that was implanted by the Archons for their benefit. While a certain amount of suffering is inevitable, asceticism is unhealthy and useless. ( personal view)

    Serving humanity, in whatever capacity will benefit the world is enough.
    What counts is motive, and being of help to others to reduce ignorance.

    I agree, After what i set out to do is complete i still have the free will choice to return or journey on. I think i will decide where i would be most useful after this life is complete.

    To return or not to return that is the choice.

    Thanks for sharing, billyji...wonderful story of 'connections" with the Naadi : )

    I certainly can relate to the completion of sacred contracts...I have been shown the same in different ways in this life, it is exhilarating and humbling and puts me into 'active' selfless/grateful mode as much as possible!

    Aho!

    ...
    ...and death? We are ALL Eternal Spirits : )

    ...but the $$$"mortgage"$$$ is about to die, it is no longer acceptable ethically : )

    my daughter was giving hugs to people in the tube in London when she liked their dresses, or the manga costumes or.... I had to tell her to stop it, she said, well, I love them, I said, yes, anyone is very happy to be hugged and glued to a beautiful 16 years old. I think in fact she was just very happy to finally feel a bit better after a long and very tough spring, but people would not know this of course.

    The Brits were so astonished that it was almost funny, they would let her hug with her innocent look but were stiff and frozen, even the young ones.

    I finally told her that she proved to me she needed quite a lot of supervision still and could not be let alone in a large city. lol

    She even hugged some costumed gypsies because she found it pretty and took a picture of them for which they ask me 5 pounds afterward. I behaved as an North American: F c king no, you have not told me in advance it would cost, you get 1 pound.
    I did not hug the gypsies.. I just said ''Look mom! People in costumes'' in french and they are the ones who hugged me... Stop inventing things

    Here in my city, the manga comunity is very friendly. When we see manga fans, we go up to them and act like we have known each other for years. The comunity is very friendly and it is easy to meet amazing people and make geart friends. Of course there are some exceptions (some people in the community are not good people and we should be carefull)...

    So Because the manga community is very friendly, we often give free hugs to our friends or to friend's of our friends. Alot of people wear costumes so we also give hugs when we see a costume we like. Anyways, all these super cool manga characters don't really exist... So when we see people wearing a costume of them, we at least like to pretend they exist. Here in my city, it is completely normal for cosplayers (people wearing manga costumes) to get free hugs.

    I thought the manga community in London was the same but i guess I am wrong... Anyways! If the people didn't want a hug, they shouldnt have weared costumes!! Of course people wearing costumes of manga characters will get hugs from little kids!! (yes i am a little kid in this kind of situation)

    Retail Marijuana Stores

    Washington State approves 334 retail pot stores; 61 in King County

    Revised state rules for a recreational marijuana system include the location of 334 retail pot stores, an overall cap on pot production and limits on concentrated ownership of pot stores, growing and processing facilities.

    In rules approved this morning, the state Liquor Control Board capped total pot production at 40 metric tons, or roughly 25 percent of the total state market for legal recreational, medical and black-market marijuana.


    The only state that I know of selling marijuana like liquor stores sell alcohol!

    I am sure Washington state will become a destination location!! Lots of new tax revenue!

    Oh my! I have missed all of you! It is canning season and it seems everything ripens at once. I did not realize this as this is my first year with a garden. You all will laugh but until I planted a garden this year I thought carrots, radishes and beets all grew in bunches like you get in the market. How disappointed I was to only pull one veggie per plant. So we had maybe two dozen radishes and one dozen beets but they were eaten up right away. No carrots though. The neighborhood rabbit ate them. Oh well he has to eat two.

    I have one more bushel of peaches from the farmers market to can tomorrow and Saturday. Only ten dollars a bushel and I had twenty dollars in my wallet so I got two. What was I thinking! SO far we have plain canned peaches, peach rum sauce, and peach jam. Next it will be peach salsa, chutney and brandied peaches. Brandied peaches go in the closet with some sugar, spices and a fifth of brandy and get shaken about every night before I go to bed. Should be done by Christmas. The syrup is great in tea on those frosty nights when you want to relax with a hot toddy to warm you up.

    The thing that surprises me about canning is you can work all day and only have 6-9 jars when you are finished. It is a long, slow process but I think it will be worth it in the winter. I must have been a prairie child in my past life because it feels very familiar.

    Still I really miss you all and I have pages and pages of here and now to catch up on.

    I wish we had a 3d village so we could all crack open a jar and have a taste!

    Much love!
    Julia
