Day 10 11, Wednesday, July 1, 2015

Just in case anyone noticed, I somehow got one day off in my dates again. I have no idea how that happened. I’m caught up now.

I woke up this morning to find an email from my publisher that the Three Principles History book, Paradigm Shift, is out and available. That’s a thrill, to have that labor of love out there (it certainly wasn’t labor for money).

Today I totally overdid it.

I rented a bicycle and rode out to what was supposed to be a beautiful beach on a fairly remote part of this island. Three quarters of the way there I wondered if this was a wise thing to do. It was far! But, oh well, I was ¾ there.

Well, I finally got to this beach and it was even way better than I imagined. I’d rank it easily in my top 10 beaches I’ve ever been to, and possibly in my top 5: Aliko beach (The other beach is Plaka beach, which is nice in itself—and a lot closer!). I have never seen water so bright, deep blue. Stunning!

I realized I’m not in the Mediterranean Sea anymore; I’m in the Aegean Sea for the first time.

But then I had to bike back. I had no idea it was going to be mostly up hill, with the wind now blowing hard against me, and in the mid-day sun. I had to stop and rest in the middle. By the time I finally got back I was totally wasted, and still feel that way right now.

I can feel my spirits dropping some.

The trick, I guess, is either to watch them do their thing and not let it bring me down, or to see them as the illusion they are and not take them seriously, or to realize my pure consciousness is still totally unscathed and is the only thing that counts. Can I do it? Wrong question. Will I realize it?
