Today, I was much more aware of myself — not to lose myself in the old Earth. I reminded myself to enjoy the day, to not feel rushed. Because I understand now: rushing affirms that there isn’t enough time. So, by rushing, I make that lack real. Must embody The New Earth.
There were moments where I felt the impulse to hurry… but I let them pass. Even though the clock was moving quickly and I had a lot to do for the Orientation Call, I chose to slow down.
But then I got confused. I checked Google, and it said the call would be at 4 PM Sri Lankan time. I thought it was 5 PM. Then I checked again later, and it said 5. I didn’t know what to believe.
So, in that pocket of time, I decided to visit a local temple — and met a monk giving a talk.
Earlier in the day, after my morning meditation, I had realized something:
I don’t want to run Orientation Calls in this rushed, reactive way.
I’d rather film them in advance, make them cinematic — like the rest of the course.
And then maybe keep the last Saturday of each month simply for live community connection.
And when I asked those at the temple when the monk usually gives his talks, they said:
“He only comes on the last Saturday of the month.”
Synchronicity. A wink from the universe.
I spoke with him briefly and pointed out the duality in teacher-student dynamics — how seekers project questions onto teachers, and teachers feel expected to give answers. It’s the old paradigm.
After that, I returned home and made food. I thought I had time to go for a walk or maybe just breathe…
Until I got a message from Mon, waiting in the Zoom room.
Turns out the call was at 4, and I was an hour off.
I scrambled — but I told myself: just move calmly. It’s okay.
It ended up being a one-on-one call with Mon, who designed my very first logo years ago. It was fine. But I realized again: this is not how I want to do this.
I’m glad I recorded it, though — because now I can transcribe it, edit it, and turn it into a proper film.
Everyone who joins the journey can watch it on their own time, and I can deliver it with clarity and beauty, not stress and confusion.
I also remembered the Orientation Call I did back on November 19th last year, during that Aquarian transition. It was painful. So I’m not sure why I repeated the same setup — but I’ve learned. And it’s okay. We move on.
Two new people signed up today. They won’t have the Orientation Call yet — but once I make it, I’ll send it to them directly. And everyone else, too.
This call is important. It’s the foundation. It sets the tone for the entire experience.
So I’m excited to do it properly — to put my heart into it.
Later in the day, I lowered the painting, caught up with Penn. We didn’t edit the book, but we shared about life. And that was enough.
I was tired — up since 5 AM. I’d also taken photos of the flat to list it on Airbnb, which will help it pay for itself while I’m away.
It’s all part of building a sustainable life — no need for excess, but also no need for scarcity.
That’s where I’m at.
Over and out.
