12 Weeks LatAm

Somewhere in Italy

13 weeks ago, I left for my initiation journey to Peru. I knew I might stay a bit longer, yet, I didn’t expect I would stay 9 weeks longer than planned.

What a journey… definitely different than expected… apart from a few chilled days in Palomino and Brasilia at the end, definitely the most strenuous and intense journey of my life yet… it was not a holiday… quite the opposite… I need a holiday…

And at the same time it was a very deep experience I had to make.

After many months of bliss since my illumination process in November, my path came down to what I believe the path of true spiritual growth to essentially be:

The path along pain and fear…

And definitely, there was quite some suffering in this journey.

I’m back for a week now and still processing… not sure what will still come up…

For now, I’m heading towards Austria to arrive in time for my dad’s surgery… seeing my daughter after more than three months again…

Heading towards a few festivals… sharing my work and dancing with the gods again…

Let’s see what the gods tell me when I dance with them…

Valle Do Amanhecer

Brasilia Airport, Brazil

Valle do Amanhecer is a kinda surreal place. Look up the pictures on the internet.

I would best describe it as a open and tolerant sect mixing Spiritism with Christianity, Ubanta, Egyptology and other stuff – practicing mediumship.

When I arrived there, I was lucky the guy standing in front of the temple spoke English… hardly anyone there does. The first day he would kinda „serve“ me the whole day translating everything that was done there with me.

What was done there with me? Well, when you enter there, you get to see a medium. Usually you ask a question the medium connects to a powerful and clean spirit and that spirit gives you insights into the issue and tells you what „process“ you need to do to heal (there they offer something like six or more different processes). So you could say, the first stage is the „diagnosis“ the second stage the healing. The healing is also done through mediumship and spiritist work.

So, my question was „What can I do to develop my psychic abilities. I keep hearing I am clairvoyant by mediums and psychics, but I feel like I feel a lot but don’t see a lot!“

The woman would connect and then ask me, if I was recently in Peru, Spain and Portugal. I was kinda stunned. I mean, there is about 200 countries in the world and she asks me about these three of the three countries I was in before I decided to prolong my journey after Peru.

She said, that I was activated by the temples there. I am a medium and Vale do Amanhecer would be a potential path for me… if I want.

At first I was a bit flattered. Being recognized as a medium there – which essentially means that I can get a free six months training in mediumship (as everything there is for free, also the treatments).

But slowly thing started to kinda melt down for me.

After the „diagnosis“ my guide started to tell me many things and show me around, apart from doing the four processes suggested by the initial medium.

The things he said, kinda, reminded me of other places and sects I experienced, like „All your life was a preparation to come here and develop your skills as a medium with us.“ So, I started to become skeptical and feel resistance.

The next few days, I would return to the temple, do some processes and talk to people and elders there that gave me more information.

Eventually, I found out, that there is no real expectation or obligations there – not even with money or work for them. Only the people initiated regularly pay whatever „they feel is right to contribute, it is very individual and has to do with your individual life situation. After the training, they are so connected that they know.“

So at that point I though, ok, I might do the training and just contribute whatever I feel is right then. But then, when I asked the one guide if I am allowed to work with the skills I acquired there back home he said „No, all of us, we just work in the temple, because our skills are only truly and purely activated in the temple.“

So, yeah, I guess this means, I would have to dedicate my life to the sect if I want to work with the skills I acquire there.

Thanks, no…

Still, it was a very interesting experience.

Monday morning I try to book a flight to Fortaleza to have a final week on the beach before I return to Europe what I call my most intense and tiring journey of my life. I try to book the ticket with three different airlines but for different reasons, non worked.

I’m like… whatever, I’ll have some lunch and try it again after. Then, I call my dad. „I might have another surgery in 10 days. I’ll get a second opinion…“ His cancer returned.

The flight back to Europe is only €100 more expensive then the flight to Fortaleza. I call it a sign. It’s time to head back, as I still have to prepare some stuff in Portugal before I return to Vienna before my father’s surgery and eventually I head back to OZORA.

The True Taita and the Emerald Ring

Vale do Amanhecer, Brasil

So, eventually, we found a true taita with a pure heart in the Amazonas of Ecuador.

We travelled through the land boarder from Columbia to Ecuador to Tena.

And from Tena we went into the Amazonas. This time it was not three hours up the hill but rather an hour through the jungle.

We worked with medicine for the first three nights, then had two days of rest before we continued to work another three days with medicine before we returned.

The medicine was intense. I had diarrhoea for almost the whole week, and felt kinda sick most of the time

It was also an interesting experience not having internet connection for nine days.

A lot of things came up during that week… from truly understanding that I am aging (and that it is in my hands if I age well), over reflecting various relationships in my life to what is up for me to do next.

Well, I, for one, will continue with telling the stories of wisdom. I’m actually not exactly sure why I stopped with them. But it kinda feels like they will be my voice into the world.

And there were so many other insights and thoughts that it would exceed the scope of this entry.

In any case, this experience was really challenging.

Tien felt similarly… always laughing saying: „People believe the path of the shaman is an easy path!“

It is not… this experience almost felt like prison!

I’m happy I got out of there and the last weeks alive. Yet, I didn’t get out of there healthy.

Eventually I had either e-coli or amoeba or both. Thanks to antibiotics I’m fine again.

I had about five days in Bogota to fully recover and find an emerald ring for myself. A mission that started in the desert of Sinai.

Columbia famously has the best emeralds in the world.

I looked at many thousands emeralds and rings.

In the end I forged my own, in the workshop of a jewellery store.

This is definitely not my most beautiful ring, but I forged it myself.

So, finally I am in Brasil, in Vale do Amanhecer – a valley of mediums.

Next time I’ll tell you more about here.
