the three ladies you see here came to the ashram not to receive but to give and that was very beautiful
12.11 am
A very small group of people gathered around these women explaining about ‘essenian healing.’ Well-known of Jesus’ time, but also with the Hopi Indians, the Mayas, the Aboriginals,… and in the ancient Egypt and in Atlantis, the continent that sunk twelve thousand years ago. There they received it from Beings from the stars. It uses sounds and oils and especially a lot of pure love.
Laura is allowed to come every day to receive healing. Right away the women are distinctly sweet towards her.
We have to walk through the heat for half an hour first because Laura walks very slowly, but the reward is worth it! The healings are a true joy for her, she’s taken seriously, she’s understood and valued for her right great significance, something which hardly ever happens.
The hospital building is also nice and cool and quite empty. Downstairs there is only a French dentist checking and treating day after day the odd 500 children of the orphanage, and whenever he tended to a child’s tooth, we can hear him sing special sounds, to close the gap in the aura around where the wound was made. Yes, a method from the mists of time and yet so futuristic.
Going upstairs is a challenge, but there we find the ‘Rishi shop’, selling pretty Indian stuff.
We all find things here to our taste.
in the shop I get to lie down on the floor and that is cool and pleasant
martine taught me to look at myself
Martine is happy with Laura and Laura is equally happy with Martine.

People are nice
7th March 2011, 11.40 am
my sister is leaving to have a beautiful trip with her spiritually wed new husband
I get to sleep in her nice room now
occasionally there are animals in the roof
Across the road we look out on the girls dormitory and garden. Laura quickly finds out how to get in by walking along a group of children.
children are the world’s greatest wealth
In their best English (the littlest children only speak their mother tongue Tamil), some girls tell me things like “Lara, I like her.” “Lara my friend.” Or: “Lara can sit in my class Tuesday” and so on…
I’m very touched by the children’s purity and beauty.

eating is always a surprise in india
sometimes the food is nice and sometimes really not but it always looks indian
marie helps me with the rice grains when I don’t have a spoon

she likes me and I like her
aarti has nice cucumbers for me
Aarti is a friend of Laura and she has a fridge. She’s not home when we arrive but Lieve who is staying there during her stay, let us in.
I know lieve from belgium
she likes me too and I like her
I have a lot of friends when I am in the ashram
here marie was teaching me how to turn the light

9th March, 4.48 pm
our time in the ashram is nearly over
now I can go home again to daddy and to the nice food and the cool sun
in india the sun is much hotter than at home and it fatigues my heart
but when the time is right, I will come back here

The sunbeams shed a golden glow onto the Lingam in the heart of the temple during the morning ritual.
