Celestial Series : Week 1 -- December 01, 2010

Welcome back to everyone!  It's amazing that all but, I believe we figured, 4 people made it back for round 2.

In the first week of the Celestial series, Chase reviewed what we'll be doing for the next 12 weeks.  We are, as a group, taking an extended holiday to Indonesia.  If you remember, in the final week of the Primal series, we discussed possibly doing this.  Chase was "encouraged" by the Channel to send us to Indonesia to help heal the area because of the huge amount of natural disasters plaguing the area, and because that part of the world is akin to a cancerous tumor and in need of serious help.  Over the next 12 weeks, we, as a group, will meditate in detail about our trip to Indonesia.

What in the world?  We are, in our minds, as a group, going to head to Indonesia, meet the people, visit the various islands, and heal the area.  We are to do this in as much detail as possible.

Week 1 is the week in which we plan our trip:   passport, shots, clothing, toiletries, reading material for the plane, arrangements for pets/ kids/ spouses etc., make arrangements for a neighbor to pick up the mail, make arrangements for someone to water the plants, turn off the newspaper delivery, set up bills to be paid online via delayed payments... whatever you need to do to prepare to leave.

In addition we have 2 further tasks:

What gifts are you going to take for the people/ children that you encounter on our voyage?  What would you take to Indonesia to represent us, and our nation?  What would leave an impression the most on the people you meet?  Cost isn't an issue.  Apparently, we're loaded or have come across a dooooozy of a grant to be able to afford to take this trip, so enjoy it!

 Who are you on this trip? If you could redefine yourself, who/what would you be?  Body type? Gender? Personality?  If you could pin-point your lessons to learn for this lifetime, what would you be working on? Are you generous? Are you learning to receive gifts (apparently to some degree all of us are working on this to be gifted the opportunity to run off to Indonesia without kids!).  Are you the same person, physically, that you are today?  How have you changed? Why?  Why not?

We are to meet at the airport on Tuesday (in our minds... not physically!)  What is your experience going through security? do you meet anyone for drinks or coffee?  What are you wearing?  Is everything in the 3 oz bottles? Do you get a pat-down? you get the idea.

We are still setting intentions.  As we listen to the tones we set the intention for ourselves and for the part of Indonesia that we are visiting.

See everyone at the airport (NOT PHYSICALLY)
