so, yeah, i'm back.  i had a great time.  traverse city was lovely.  lake michigan was charming.  it was so quiet and calm, which was odd, since the last time i was on a beach, it was myrtle beach 2 summers ago, and it was anything but quiet and calm.  it was cooler there, but the beach was beautiful and we had a 4th story room with a great view of the bay.

so, for those curious folks who wonder about this new age nonsense, metaphysics and spirituality... channelling... yeah, i like that shit.  never saw a live channelling before, so that was new.  lee, the guy who does the channelling, spent several hours sharing information and personal stories, information and explanations.  a great deal of scientific stuff i didnt know much about.  but ive always been fascinated by the scientific, at least the concepts i could understand.  this was over my head, but so well explained that i understood it all.  a lot of information about things scientifically proven and accepted, but that most of us still have no idea about.  interdimensionality.  things about the solar system and life elsewhere.  a shitload of news about our dna.  things i could never attempt to share here, but you could certainly look for it online, whether from discover, omni or kryon's own website.

so... yeah... kryon is an angel.  a spirit.  and lee let kryon speak through him for 45 minutes at the end of the seminar.  sorta like patrick swayze taking over whoopi goldbergs body in ghost.  but just sorta.

kryon was interesting to listen to, but i found lee's own explanations from the earlier parts of the seminar more insightful.  kryon had a lot to say about all that were present being lighthouses, and despite the occasional odd person thinking i'm depressing and a source of darkness bringing their soul sadness and despair, i of course find it all too easy to think of myself as a beacon of light.  because i fucking am. 

lee had a lot to say in regards to the success of the book and film of the davinci code, and shared many observations about the origins of the story and the possibilities it suggests, which was all fascinating.  there was information about armageddon, which, as it turns out, has been averted.  yes, thats right, there will be no armageddon.  despite what some religious folk might want you to believe, the end days are no longer at hand.  i wasnt sure whether to be disappointed or happy.  i'm still deciding.

there's really no explaining this sort of thing to people predisposed to dismiss this sort of spirituality, but i keep an open mind and listen to lots of voices (aside from the ones in my head) before making up my mind on anything.  i got a lot out of the experience and i'm still processing and thinking through all this information. 

of course, i come home and whats the biggest news story i can find?  george w bush and his renewed pledges to send his attempt to write discrimination into the U.S. constitution!  you know, i felt a lot of healing energy while i was away.  a lot of very good vibrations.  but looking at the country, the world, as a whole... i wonder how its possible to use my light, my happy thoughts, my very dna to change the world... and i want to just get pissed off again.  and maybe tomorrow i will go back to being pissed.  but for tonight, i'm not.  tonight i'm just sending out my silly beacon of light to enlighten and change the miserable fucking world.  silly me.

so many of those people who say What Would Jesus Do? do not know jesus at all.  dumbasses.

light and love from your beacon of love, hope and occasional sarcasm,
