Well .. here I am. Out of New Zealand!! Away from that madness and frenzy and disappointment. Here I am on my own in another foreign shore. It's hot and it's an alien culture to me. But ... a week on I have adjusted well. I feel quite at home. I'm chilled by the idea of now being on the same ley line as Ancient Babylon ... indeed I feel its latent energies surge around me.

I elected not to take the first job opportunity offered to me. I would have been a small fish in a big pond; just a number set loose in one of the busiest cities in the UAE. No instead I chose the contract which would propel me into the deep end at the city at the NE end of the peninsula.

Well Doha is certainly a friendly city. Qatar is indeed just a flat sandy peninsula ... not much else really. But Doha is a beautiful place; its Corniche is a wonder ... its emerald green bay is a wonder. And the heat is phenomenal. I just love it!!!!

A nice contrast too dreary and third world New Zealand.

I've brought my Merlin tarot and my Aquarian Runes and 86GB of stuff on my external hard drive. My laptop is intact and I have my apartment to myself (I left the wife and kids behind) and it is peaceful. A space to meditate and to muse .....

The apartment already has presences. Invisible beings which have already grabbed my legs ... poked my hand with a definate finger ... they've appeared momentarily around me .... switched my mobile on so it lights up on its own ... i've heard them speak to me ... in my language and in theirs. The latter a series of high pitched 'beeps'. It was initially un-nerving but we have built up trust of each other. When I see them wander in from their frequency ... they are like a translucent apparition ... I wave at them and tell them not to catch me unawares. I then move my hand slowly to towards where I know one or more are standing .... I have felt a hand brush across my own on two occasions.

I know that I am also visited by departed friends of mine too ....

It is not the room ... it is not anything other than the fact I am free from the restraints of New Zealand and my own vibration can now lift more easily.

This is a wonderful new adventure unfolding. I am sponsored to work here initially for 12 months but after that I have a minimum of a further 12 months with my current employer (a Canadian PQS company) .......... but after that who knows!!!

It feels very much like coming home!!! Like I'm back home. The Arabic writing and the Arabic dress and buildings is so familiar and comforting to me .... I have not felt so relaxed for decades ....

And it is perfectly safe here too!!! A little mad on the roads but safe ... Iraq & Iran are just across the Gulf but there is no tension here ... there is solidarity and friendship and an underlying spirituality which is ancient and eternal ...



Hopefully this wonderful sense of being will continue and perpetuate me through this new chapter
