You said it!
Here, in New York City, I am back at my office - Monday morning. As I left the house to get here I found the streets deserted, shops closed.
Hmmmm!
......Oops!
So eager to get here early, to use the morning freshness to report from the zero-hour experience, it slipped my mind that today is Labor Day, one of the biggest US-Holidays.
Then again, being not American I often thought that Labor Day is the perfect day to do some special labor, such as
labor of love.
Okay. Lets get to it.
In preparation of the moment I too did some reading in the 'Controversy of Zion'. Not having the time to read the whole thing I picked just the chapter regarding the Protocols and I realized that the 'Controversy of Zion' and 'Political Ponerology' should be read together.
I also prepared by only eating fruit and vegetables the 48 hour prior - and little of it. No alcohol nor sugar.
During the day I did some spinning that my one-year-old son seemed to like very much. By his own initiative he gave it a try himself for two or three spins after which he seemed a bit dizzy but very happy. That was too cute!
I was lucky to be invited by some Casschat-Members to meet in Central Park for the special moment. Prior to this I was with them on the phone a few times trying to figure out where to meet best as it was pouring and stormy and I planed to bring my wife and kids. We found a meeting place under one of the many old bridges in the park, to hang out without getting prematurely drenched.
The moment (6:41pm) fell smack on my kids dinner time so we had to work a little bit around it. Therefore I fed my son earlier and then left with him earlier than the girls. I entered the park pushing the stroller and it felt like the perfect setting from an Agatha Christie story.
Storming, pouring and dark!
I was about 200 feet into the park when - I didn't see it coming -
SMACK!!!
Somebody hit me with a club over the head. I screamed "Ouch!"
I looked around at saw a two-inch thick branch broken in two pieces on the floor as I felt the bump on my head. I looked around: Nobody. I checked my son who seemingly didn't notice anything in his stroller, under his rain protection.
It was the storm.
I mean - come on! What are the odds that that piece of branch bull's-eyes right through my crown chakra? Even in the storm. No wonder I did not see it coming. Quit literally it was coming from "above".
I don't think it was STS forces to stop me to attend the meeting. It was kind of too light for that (even though I can still feel it today). I think it was more like a form of a slightly rough, higher-dimension-originating endearment - kind of "New York style" - like:
Wake the f**k up!
Now!
So that was interesting to say the least.
Than I met about 6 other collinear people under the bridge with Celtic music playing from the boom-box and some candles already lit. We greeted each other and I introduced my son. Than I unpacked another candle and a crystal and we popped in a CD I brought:
Cecilia - 'Voice Of The Feminine Spirit'.

With 3 more minutes to go one more Casschat-Member came running through the park and with 2 more minutes my wife and my four year old daughter where arriving as well.
We all stepped out in the rain to spin together. My daughter wanted to spin with me in my arms. For a moment I was wondering if that would work but than I remembered the STO principle. She asked me to do something for her - so I did it.
33 spins! It was wonderful. What a way to connect your charkas - spinning embraced which one another.
As we stopped I notice some people walking their dogs, staring at our group from distance (as some where still spinning). It was fun. The rain felt great. I asked my daughter to silently say a prayer for all the children in the world that are suffering and she closed her eyes and leaned her head against my shoulder immediately to comply. She totally understood everything that was going on. I silently said my own prayer asking for help to ease the pain of the people in the Middle East (as we all agreed on to do beforehand).
I was so happy my family came. I hugged them all and we did a family hug too.
We continued wondering about and I looked at my kids playing in the rain. And at my beautiful wife and the beautiful group of truth seekers. And I looked into the gloomy sky seeing the raindrops descending on me.
...and then I got this great, warm, fuzzy, happy, joyful, overwhelming feeling! I am getting all emotional right now as I recall it.
A rare moment of true oneness. True bliss!
After a while we gathered back under the bridge hearing Cecilia's music again which had just arrived at her version of "Amazing Grace". This was just as special because 8 years back she sang this song to my wife and me when we where standing in front of the altar getting married.
We all then burned some papers with written words. Everybody did there own thing.
Finally we finished up with everybody dancing in a circle around a candle while I was running the double stroller with both kids inside also circular around the dancing ring.
Just like the rabbit said:

all in all a most amazing night which we enjoyed very much even though we where soaked right through.
To dry up we all met later on at our house. There we decide where to go to have dinner and that dinner concluded our celebration.
Later on...

It was more like the groggy feeling I get when I use melatonin.
I felt groggy too - and sore as if I had been working out.

there were a whole lot of thoughts going round and round, my intellectual centre seemed very 'busy', but in a chaotic non-productive way.
And that is how I felt too - lots of strange thoughts.
But also what happened was that (especially) last night my depression came back. It reminded me of my drug-use youth, way back - when after an amazing euphoric experience one sometimes drops way down into a depressed and melancholic state - kind of on the other end of the spectrum.
However today is a new beautiful day - great weather too - and I feel good and ready for a new beginning. And since everybody else is on vacation (here in the US) I am getting a head start.
Thank you all for BE-ing! I couldn't DO it without you! :D :D :D
