Creation is the passing of Spirit into form and is eternally
going on. Spirit cannot change, for being All, there is nothing for It to change into. This is self-evident.

Bangkok Thailand China Town - Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa "Kingdom Within Tour" 2009 - Bangkok's vibrant Chinatown district runs along Yaowarat Road from Odeon Circle, where a huge Chinese gate marks the entrance.
Chinatown is an easy place to explore on foot, and in fact there really isn't any other way. The Chinese community in Bangkok pre-dates the founding of the Thai capital where the grand palace is today - it was originally a community of Chinese traders. When King Rama I decided to establish the capital on the site of the village of Bangkok, he asked the traders to move. They settled to the east of the new city, along the river. In 1902, the community petitioned the king for a larger road. Yaowarat Road was built as a result, and the celebration of the road's 111th birthday was the highlight of Chinatown's 2003 Chinese New Year celebration.
Search for "thai dancing with tourists" and you'll find the same group of folk dancing at the same hotel with the same music TWO YEARS LATER - what a hoot. Do they do this show every week for years? William Abel and Jim Cramer, two of the folk on the Kingdom within Tour to Thailand with the Center for Spiritual Living, Santa Rosa. More photos of the tour in the archived messages

I know this beloved Spiritual Community is an aspect of the Divine. I speak the word of truth for UCSL and its members, friends, practitioners, ministers and ministries. I know that we are toucing lives, healing hurts and revealing Truth. I know all that is necessary for the perfect unfoldment of this spiritual community - people, resources and money - is right now easily and abundantly supplied. I know that God is making Itself known as peace and joy, love and harmony, and as abundance and fulfillment.
We are blessed and a blessing. Life is good and all is well! In joy and thanksgiving,
I release this word knowing that it is so right now!And so it is. Amen

So when suddenly those rules are removed, the simple act of climbing stairs becomes perilous.
The last step on each landing on the way up to my third floor room obviously has to compensate for some building measurement snaffoo because its about an inch higher than all the rest and a little deeper - and deep in my inner world as I ascend the steps I stepped a step in accordance with my exsteptations to find I hadn't ascended enough.
Funny how annoying such a little thing can be.
Hidden Beliefs emerge: it shouldn't be this way!
Funny that.

We approached the camp with some trepidation concerned about parading animals for human pleasure, but what we found there was exxxquisite! The relationship between man and elephant is complex and beautiful (we ancountered no women trainers).

She's got quite a swing in her hips - I think she is flirting with the elephant behind us.

Did you know that the present King changed Thai law ro allow a girl to be crowned princess? Before only boys could succeed - Thailand has never had a queen in throne - but one day it might!
