This jouney has taken me to Baja Sur in Mexico and a small town call El Chorro, the squirt. Named for the either the local hot spring or the local taco stand. It is a chaming place with cows and gringos roaming free.
I am staying at Kina Freedom Retreats, kinafreedom.com, helping on a sustainable, offgrid, retreat center. We have planted a garden and are watching the seedling sprout through the soil to grow and feed us. I was visited by a garden Angel who came to me as dove to remind me to feed the garden with love. Everyday I am being educated on the workings of a sustanable life.
Our days begin with a mediation and end with hot spring. We cook on an open fire and I did my first batch of hand laundry in a five gallon bucket. It is great to spend most days commpletly immersed in nature, eating local produce and enjoying the local community.
The work continues with dreams and shifitng. The other day the dark masculine came to me to play in dreamtime. In the morning I knew it had to be honored which I did in a sand painting and felt something shift.
I like it here and am resonating with land.

Meeting the Future
In a dream time circle where we met our future generations, 100, years into the future. I was asked by my great, great, great, grandchild, what did I do to help turn the tide when the Earth was on the brink of destruction. The answer below is what flowed.
I dreamt of you. You where my inspiration. Seeing you in a the world that you were thriving in, with the balance of the mind and the heart, technology and nature and with the realization that all are one, related, made me realize that the change was easy.
I stopped colluding with the assumptions that change had to be traumatic. I knew that this as not going to be a revolution, but rather an evolution of the human heart and mind. Others shared this vision and we found each other. Together, we knew that our dreams would change the tide so all could enjoy the world we dreamed for you. Our hearts opened, we saw technology as a friend that could help the Earth. As the systems failed we were here with our love and vision to help other use their talents to change the world so our grandchildren would survive and our great grandchildren would thrive.

Beyond Infinity Bob Blog - October
There is a loud crash and I see trees are falling into the crevice below. I see their roots are they topple down. As I look around for the cause I realize that I am a tree that is growing larger and as I grow I am pushing other trees off the cliff. As more trees fall, I get closer and closer to the edge and I am in danger of toppling in to the darkness below.
I awake.
There is the archetypical image of the clown, a the holy fool, or the idiot, that dances on this edge. This person has the beginner mind and is ready for a journey, a change, and to fall if necessary. There exist the danger of falling, of failure, but with each failure, there exist the chance for redemption and rebirth.
I have spent too much of my time living in the safety of the dark forrest.
My whole life, I have fought for independence. I made on my own, denying and rejecting help. To my friends and family that you have stayed with me, you are truly generous for putting up with me in spite of the asshole I am and was.
And now, I realize that I was hiding from the rest of the forrest by growing into tree as I pushed other trees out of my way.
But now, I am at the edge, ready to leap.
It is an exciting time to making a move. It is also, a scary time because I need to leave the comfort of the forrest that has hidden me for so long and expose myself with all my faults to universe.
I am jumping off the edge and risking failure. I know that I can no longer make it all alone in this world. The support of the tribe is necessary in every way to how this story will turn out. The love and support, I give and receive, no matter how small it seems, will feed this and keep us going. As our ego accepts its death then our evolution to communal beings can be realized. Instead of being one tree, I hope to grow with the new forrest of that is interconnected.
So it is now time for me to step up and learn become interdependent with the community around me. To open and receive all this life has to offer. No more hiding.
There is a big rock that I climb up on with at least ten others. On this rock we are all one, teachers and students with our different perspectives, beliefs and visions. As we learn from each other our burdens are lighten, our mistaken beliefs discarded and our love expanded. We begin to dream and the rock rises into the air like some spaceship hovering over the earth. United together in vision, we can truly move mountains.
I awake with renewed hope.

Global Fire Vigil Weekend - The Pachamama Stick
During the fire vigil we kept a Pachamama stick close to the fire to honor and blow are prayers for the Earth into. During the closing ceremony, the stick was place into the fire by two expectant mothers.
What a privilege to have this energy of motherhood here and what an honor for us to have them to remind us that how important our thoughts, actions and deeds are to those who will inherit the Earth from us.
In Gratitude,
Bob
Global Fire Vigil Weekend - Work in Joy
Let the joyous work begin!
The Q'ero remind us that we that this work should come from joy. After a week of laughing, hugging joking, and loving with the Q'ero this seems to be in my heart, too. What amazing medicine men, how they hold their love of all with such humility. They can laugh and joke with one another and still hold space where we can contribute to the healing of the world. It is such a honor to be apart of this.
As Don Francisco said, " I am here to help grow large trees"!
Our light shining together is the forest.
With love to all,
Bob

Global Fire Vigil Weekend - Saturday update
The fire burns!
Today we had a sacred drama for the healing of the world and brought to the fire our lessons to go out into the world. We also had a conversation with our future generation, seven generations into the future. There was much hope and love in this connection. We also brought these gifts to the fire to share with you all.
Tonight, we prepare to receive the Taitanchi Ranti, Creator Rites, from the Q'ero and to be taken on a Wonder Voyage in a happy ship of fools to the other lands by our Irish delagation. Wish us luck on our journeys.
We hope that all is well with your fires and we send our love and blessings.
Con Munay,
Bob
