Gentle Wind Project

Thursday afternoon....

I'd like to mention that Debbie and I are "Instrument Keepers" for the Gentle Wind Project. This non-profit organization produces healing instruments that we share with our friends and acquaintances. We have made a donation to the Project to get our instruments and have also agreed to let others use our instruments completely free. That means we cannot make any money from letting others use the instruments. Our most powerful card is the Trauma, Pain and Decompression Card. (photo below)



Most people who use the instrument for the first time take at least 48 hours to integrate the energy from using the instrument. Sometimes, this brings about some sort of emotional crisis as what has been hidden or denied comes to the surface to be confronted. Always with the permission of the user. The Gentle Wind Project has instrument keepers all over the USA and foreign countries. They regularly hold seminars where people are invited to come and use the instruments for free as a trial and if it works for them, then encouraged to make donations to the Project to get their own instruments. No one is turned away because they do not want to make a donation to the Project. We originally heard about these wonderful instruments from two close friends who moved to Hawaii and shared their instruments with us. Cece and Steve.


Nancy, Steve and Cece

FYI, I like to dive also...

That's me, with a buzz-cut, diving in the warm waters of the Kona Coast. I think this dive was near Pine Trees by the airport in Kona.

Energy Activations, Part 1

Yes, Debbie answered an email to do some computer work for a woman recently moved to this island. She channels Quan Yin, the goddess of mercy (which we all need more of), and we had dinner with her Fri nite. She seems quite nice, focused on her calling, and sincere. She is doing a workshop this afternoon that we both signed up for and this is called a Stargate Activation. We will get energy work done on us by Quan Yin to prepare us for and accelerate the work we have to do in the future. I'm not sure what that all means, but I have faith that Laura Lizak knows what she is about. Hopefully, we don't end up looking like this when it's all over....



We plan to wear our coutie protection suits to this workshop.

Daily Grind

So, back to the daily grind of doing the pool cleaning in the mornings at the condo complex we live at. It does get me out of bed at 5:30 am and I have a 2 minute walk to work. I get to take breaks and walk home for lunch. And get to meet many people who live at our complex since I'm also the pool monitor on the weekends. Children quiver when they see me come to the pool. All eyes are on me to see if I am the "enforcer" that nite or just the neighborhood nice guy. I have to be a little of both. Many residents around the pool want the rules strictly enforced because they can't handle children having fun and making loud noises. Most of the time, I just let them have fun.
Living in Hawaii can be a trip. Sometimes, you realize that you are on a rock 2400 mi from the nearest land mass. What we miss most about living on the Mainland is the diversity in culture we had back in the SF Bay Area. Here, there are two main cultures, Hawaiian and Japanese. I get mistaken for both at times but because I don't speak pidgin, "da bradda's know I'm not local."
Kailua is a lovely little town, full of tourists at this time of year. Most folks who live here don't resent the tourists because they bring money and commerce. Some of the poorer locals resent everyone because they see the prosperity that other Americans have and they do not. Plus, these islands use to belong to them and now they see it being owned by Mainlanders, like us, who have come made the housing prices unaffordable for them. What can you do? Most people struggle here to make a living.
But we do live in a beautiful setting.
Here is a photo of Kahalu'u Beach, one the best snorkeling spots on the island because it is so shallow and safe for the beginning snorkelers.

From the Mermaid Planet

Down south from us is the City of Refuge, where wayward Hawaiians went to in the old days after they committed something that was kapu, or taboo. They could seek refuge from the death penalty as their families could the negotiate some other penalty besides death.

And here is a photo of the vivacious Debbie, formerly from the Mermaid Planet, snorkeling in the waters next to the City fo Refuge.
I was not on the Mermaid Planet, but some psychics have seen me in the old continent of Lemuria, which sank in the Pacific Ocean when the Atlantians messed around with their WMD's and sank themselves as well as the continent of Mu. I think those same former Atlantians are back in the White House contemplating how they abuse their powers again. I think their motto is, "Shoot first and rebuild their country later." What a bunch of maroons.

Peter & Jasmine

Jasmine is the daughter of a friend who came to visit last Summer. She is beautiful young girl who is going to be an eye-turner when she gets older.

Life on the Big Island

One of the marvelous treats about living in Hawaii are all the cute geckos that live around us. Here are two of them making more geckos. They emit a high pitched squeal when they are f***ing. They also hang around light fixtures at nite waiting to eat another everpresent tropical bug, the cockroaches. So we keep the lights on.

Here is a map of the Big Island of Hawaii. why is it called the "Big Island?" Because all the other islands in the state combined would only be about 60% of the land mass of Hawaii. I live on the western side of the island near Kailua. There are 5 volcanoes on the island with one that has been spewing lava out a vent since 1984. That is down in the southeast side in Volcanoes Nat'l Park. The largest volcano is Mauna Loa, at the center of the island. Pele is our goddess and this is the island where she does not like chunks of lava taken away. Many tourists send back pieces of lava they have taken because of the bad luck they have had since visiting the island and taking some lava back with them. This is also the remotest place on earth as we are 2400 mi from the nearest landmass.

Mauna Kea Photos

Here is a photo of my friend Brian looking down from atop a cinder cone at the panoramic view of the Saddle Road below Mauna Kea. It was overcast today, but on a clear day, you can be above the clouds looking down from about the 9000 ft level.

Aloha from Kona

Hi, this is my first blog. My name is Peter and I live on the Big Island of Hawaii. It's a very hot, muggy nite this evening and I just got back from a trip up to Mauna Kea today. It's a 14,000 ft volcano on our island which has about 8-10 observatories on it. I took a friend from our condo complex with me and we wanted to drive all the way to the top except that the transmission on my Rodeo started acting up and we could not make it. I guess that I will have to get some major work done on it soon or just change the transmission fluid to see if that will fix the car. Pretty mundane stuff.
I'll post more tomorrow about discussions with my travelling companion, Ken.
