Day 1

Kaiser, Peru’s MSIA Minister picks me up and we head to the Hotel to prep for my first workshop. We would begin the next day with a 4 hour version of the Spiritual Warrior workshop (Thank You J-R and Pauli). I didn’t have the Spiritual Warrior CD so with today’s technology I was able to have Zoe send me the mpg 3s of the CD. In no time I was ready to play J-R’s Spiritual Warrior CD in Spanish.

Day 2

We began to set up. Keeping things low budget. Kaiser had a friend to lend him a PowerPoint projector. We connected his computer to the projector with home speakers and we were ready to rock and roll. I called in the Light. Romina Gonzalez Copello translated for me when I would get stuck. My Spanish was getting better (Como estas?). Ezra assisted with photos and all around gave his support in holding for others. It was a magical day. I could feel J-R everywhere. To finish the workshop we hooked up to the Internet and played J-R on YouTube in Spanish, projected on a white screen with home speakers distorting J-R’s voice. The J-R Moment of Peace on YouTube was J-R talking about what the Hu and chanting is all about. For the new people in the workshop this clarified the Ani-Hu chanting directly from J-R’s mouth. J-R on YouTube was so rewarding for me, to see that the energy is as powerful as if he were there live. The workshop ended and we prepared for Machu Picchu.

Day 3

Ezra and I headed to Cusco which is about 10,000 feet elevation. WOW. We spent the night in Cusco which is what they (Peru) recommend that one do to acclimate to the high altitude. Of course I never acclimated to anything. I spent all night awake on oxygen. The local tea is like coffee which helped a little.

Day 4

I watched the sun come up. We met our Guide called Edgar and headed toward a town 1 hour and 1/2 away from Cusco to the train station which would give us another 1 hour and 1/2 to Machu Picchu. The train ride was something else. A mystic land. This train would meander through the giant mountains. We arrived in Aguas Calientes in the afternoon and were welcomed by our local tour guide called Gladys. An MSIA initiate/minister lives in Cusco, his name is Sulpicio Flores. With J-R’s blessing and the help of Laura Mola, Zoe, Sulpicio, Edgar and Gladys we focused on having the first Spiritual Warriors screening in Machu Picchu/Aguas Calientes.

We checked into our hotels and I decided to head up to MP which is a 20 minute bus ride on hair-raising dirt roads. Don’t look down, you could get vertigo. I hiked up to the hut where J-R’s photo was taken in the 1970s. For me it was a personal awesomeness to be where J-R once was. Of course I was sick as heck. I was out of shape and I’m not a high elevation hiker. I headed down to the hotel to lay down.

The Aguas Calientes town was frozen in a time warp. No cars. No bikes. Only trains that would drop off locals and tourists. Nice hotels but the center of town was very Indian influenced. The local people look authentic. It was a Peruvian mix. Are they descendants of Incas? It didn’t seem like it. Seems like the Incas came and went. I found the local Indians/Peruvians/Incas were not allowed to enter or hang out in the hotels. Interesting. So, I decided to screen SW on my last night there in their Cultural Center. The town is filled with tourists and locals and you don’t communicate by email or fax. They communicate face to face. Actually, it was awesome. I forced myself to meet a lot of people of all kinds. So Gladys made and printed some commercial postcards. Basically boring bold black text on white paper. I didn’t stop there, I had Zoe send me a B/W image with text, very commercial, and printed 90 copies and handed them out to everyone I met.

Despite the excessive bureaucracy, we managed of course (I called J-R and begged for help) and we had an amazing screening, over 70 people filled the dark school-like classroom. Sulpicio and his family felt the Spirit that transmitted from the wall where the movie was projected (we had no screen). People that have never met J-R asked deep questions about what they just experienced. Some were shocked at what they just witnessed. Gladys was very happy that she was able to pull this screening off. Me too. We headed to a local great restaurant called “Feliz Indio”.

As I walked back to find where I would stay the night (all hotels were fully booked, high season) trusting in Spirit I found a room for my last night in MP/Aguas Calientes.
Dropping to sleep, I felt a sense of completion, my vision/wish, to share Spiritual Warriors with all people. I wanted to share with all peoples an aspect of John-Roger in media/Film. I realized that in 99 minutes people can get an experience of John-Roger and some of his works. This is the New Age.

Thank you J-R for allowing me to see YOU in ALL aspects around the world in ALL people.
Love
Dr. Zeus
