Helping Refugees in Ecuador with simple design



These 50000 and 120000 needing protection, Columbian refugees face similar problems to all refugees but it is also compounded by the violence and intimidation they still face in the form of assasination, and the oil pollution that is polluting their water supply and causing rising cancer. They face forced recruitment, sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

Oil pollution can be solved by simple living machines that not only clean and purify the water but can even remove oil from contaminated land, to make it usable once again. A by-product of living machines is that they can also supply fuel in the form of methane and therefore electricity using simple generators. Another stage involves aquaculture and food production.

A social result of living machines is that by building them and maintaining them there is also the oppurtunity to become educational centres teaching and raising the standards of their communities and their host countries.

Painted Eyes - Past Lives and Dreaming



So for those of you with your feet on the ground out there this is a preparatory warning this is one of my more way out stories...

So I don't remember my past lives but apparently the buddha and so did Amma remember theirs so I was like 'I want to know about my past lives' and that night I had a dream...

I dream I am riding a horse ( I was like a native american warrior) except I could fight/see with my eyes closed. I saw through the eyes of an eagle and a Wolf who flew/ran besides me. i was a spectacular warrior because I didn't even have to have my eyes open - its as though I could see an assailants approach energetically and had some kind of fearsome medicine. Anyway in this dream I learnt that my name was 'Painted Eyes'. Now I rarely if ever get names in dreams so I paid attention to this one. And over the next few days and months it kept nagging at me.
Until one day I remembered I'd asked for this because I wanted to know about past lives; so maybe, possibly 'Painted Eyes' could have been real. I thought it was a longshot. But I started researching on the internet.

After along while I came across a reference to 'Painted Eyes - also known as Roman Nose'. Boy did I get excited can you imagine! It said 'PAINTED EYES, Cheyenne Warrior, Roman Nose (Woquini) , (1830-68) Leader of the Plains Indian Wars. He was famed for his long feathered head dress which he believed protected him in battle. He lead the battle of Platte Bridge in 1865 and the War for the Bozeman Trail. He refused to sign the Treaty of the Medicine Lodge Council. He died in the battle known by the Cheyenne as the "Fight When Roman Nose Was Killed".

Wow! I mean Wow. I just dreamt about him. Anyway, regardless of all the questions involved to me dreams are very important, equally to life in many ways and sometimes more so as they infer meaning and inspiration to actual events. Sometimes I even dream things BEFORE they happen but that's another story. Some people think this sort of thing is poppycock but if you've done any traditional training you will know that you can learn telepathy, visioning, far sightedness, to control your dreams and many other wonderful things. Many of us wonder around in a drunken stupor even without alcohol as the breadth of our potential awareness is so vast its impossible to describe.

So anyway this is Roman Nose also known as Painted Eyes (I'd love to know more stories about that name). I did a little more research and discovered how he died. He was shot in the lower back and the shoulder. Now, I happen to have a read a few years ago an article about an investigation into the past lives stories of small children in India and around the world. And one story said that many children displayed physical marks on their bodies on the areas that had been the origin of their previous deaths. If they had been shot they would often have a mole in the same place or places. I dismissed this as you do with a western mind - until I remember I'm not going to know am I? Except that I happen to have a mole on my lower back and my shoulder, hmmm.

Now I love sharing these kinds of stories because I frankly believe our existence is much longer than we think only our independent lives are interrupted by a severing of our awareness not unlike sleep so that we forget who it is we have been. Some small children often remember, even some adults, which can be a little disconcerting for parents...

But I like to think it would one day be nice to remember what we have been like, our loved ones etc? Obviously my desire to know more and to discover these memories came from a wish not to forget the lovely people I have met in this life. I'm very aware that I came into this life not remembering which is sad isn't it, if you've had a whole other life/lives before? But then somedays I forget what happened the day/week before so its not really a surprise, I forget the last life too. I'd love to know your thoughts on these things. Do you think you arrived with already entrenched qualities and perspectives? Were you different from your family? Did you have awarenesses and affinities not given you by your nearest and dearest?

I arrived as a child looking for a fight and was deeply disappointed to find:- A - I was a very small girl and not six-foot-seven-built-like-a-tank-guy and B - there was no fight; the fight was over a long long time ago, hmmm?

Divine Hedonistic and Simple Biscuit Recipe

I made biscuits yay (cant take a pic coz have no camera) but they're yummy.

Makes a bout 20 I think I ate before I counted

8oz flour (I used 5 cereals)
5oz caster sugar
4oz Margarine/Butter
Rub in flour and butter till like breadcrumbs then add sugar. Split into four (for different flavours). Take one piece and add flavouring (grated lemon rind/cinnamon/nutmeg/crushed juniper berries/ginger) to your preference. Add couple of desertspoons of water until its like a stiff paste and then plonk it on a floured surface and roll out thin (use a lot of flour on rolling pin). Cut in circles/shapes and bake on greased tray in oven 220deg/gas mark 6 for 10mins till done. They will harden up as they cool. Make glace icing with lemon juice instead of water (mmm yum) and also melt choc. Then when the biscuits are cold you can decorate them with dollops.
Actually these taste really really yummy. freeze or eat all at once.

You can also add egg to bind and 2oz semolina but they taste GOOOOD anyway so I didn't.
Also you can replace flour with whatever flour you can eat; rice flour etc. And you can replace marge/butter with any fat or oil. Sugar can be replaced with FOS or Lucuma or something.
Always good to chuck a few superfoods in these things. Once you know the basic process for biscuit making - you will always know how to make them...

The boy who harnessed the wind



This is exactly what I'm on about. Beautiful ingenuity here. Out of a tractor fan - just super. Not only that he had to learn basic circuitry too. You can find his book 'The boy who harnessed the wind' below.

William Kamkwamba's story is superb an should be a message to all of us

Marathoning


I am starting to train for the Monumental Marathon (or nearest). Beginning with the half marathon in November this year. I will be fund raising for the Angela Shelton Foundation and you can Donate here at my firstgiving page

I have never run a marathon before. In my life I have had severe asthma/eczema as a kid (see pics) and couldn't walk, but overcome it through conditioning, diet and alternative therapies. I also had Chronic Fatigue seriously in my twenties, but overcame this with Tibetan Medicine. I have since alpine climbed, kayaked, surfed and taught scout leaders survival training.


You can follow my progress here on my Marathon Training Log and see my routes/times here at Daily Mile

I am being helped in this process by a wonderful Angel from the Army of Angels Juliette Cagigas who ran the Los Angeles Marathon in March and she is helping me with training and the running fitness things. Thank you Juliette!
