Last Night in Aswan

We bid farewell to Aswan tonight. I called home and found out that there was this massive snowstorm...a Noreaster occurring. They sounded so cold and stuck inside that I was so grateful to be in this hotel that I thought was icky.

When we got back from the Papyrus Museum, a few of us decided to have a cup of tea. Yes, you guessed it...boiled mint--it was definitely my favorite Egyptian food..yes I know it is a beverage, but by now you must know that the food choices for me were really slim to none. Even if I wasn't gluten sensitive the amount of bread they served us was way over the top. We sat outside overlooking the beautiful Nile at Sunset. Here is the view that we saw sitting down having our tea.

It was beautiful and yes a cool night again. We gathered up in a circle to share our experiences of the day. I still felt quiet again this night. I did share in circle, but I feel emotions building up within me like there is more happening to me energetically than I know. My back was a little achy still from the fall today and tonight as I sat in circle I had a little difficulty in focusing because my legs kept getting restless. Now, I am sitting in my room trying to figure out how to upload some blogs to post, but oh well not sure that will happen. The interesting thing is that since the train ride I think we finally opened up a little and bonded with one another more. In the circle, we all seemed to share a little more. It is beginning to feel like I am really with my soul family. I love them. I have been looking for a soul family for sometime and I think I have found them.

Okay, DebRa is back in the room and she is tired and wants to go to sleep too. We are waking up early again--Big Surprise (I know, not April's schedule of wake up whenever and go from there. hahaha) No instead early day and our luggage has to be outside the door by 6:00 a.m. to get taken down to the bus. We are off to our new location in Luxor by way of the Temple of the Crocodiles and the Temple of Edfu (I am soooo looking forward to the Temple of Edfu--it is also known as the temple of divine marriages and we all know what that means--twinflames. Twinflames!!) Okay enough excitement for tonight, my eyes are watering and no I am not crying it is from being way too sleepy. Good night world...off to la la land...see ya there

Arcturian Pendant

After the Papyrus store, there was a jewelry store for us to go into. I thought I would take a peek and see what they had. Everyone was looking for a cartouche which is your name written in Egyptian Hieroglyphs. I just wasn't pulled to that. So I walked around and saw this pendant that pulled me to it. I mean really pulled me there. It is the only piece of jewelry of its kind. I mean the whole design was not Egyptian. I asked how much it was and they told me and I thought no way. I walked away. Then Carole and I walked around the store. I showed her the pendant and she said, "Ra'chel you need to buy it. You will go on the whole journey wishing that you had. Go ahead and buy it." With that, I gave myself permission--it is not like I will be back here again. This is the picture of it...

Now I will skip ahead for the moment to the last day of my trip when I channeled my Arcturian Brothers and Sisters. They channeled to me that this pendant was there just for me. They asked me to recall the case and remember what was in it. There was nothing slightly resembling this. It was waiting there for me to pick up. It was something that as time goes on I will connect as symbolic of my Arcturian lineage. How cool is that? I wear this pendant almost constantly and I am loving it. Amazing energy and loving the star shape which is what I am thinking they want me to pay attention to.

Papyrus, Isis & Osiris

After Solara finished giving messages to us from her guides, we had the rest of the day free to relax. (Now mind you, we have been going and going and going so having that free time was necessary and awesome!) We had lunch and then there was an opportunity to visit a Papyrus Museum (another state store). Not everyone wanted to go so only some of us went. I was kind of waffling on whether to go or whether to get more rest (because I certainly could have used the rest), but when I heard that papyrus may be a lost art in the near future due to the building of the Aswan Dam, I decided I was in. The Aswan Dam was built to control flooding along the Nile and saved the region from flooding; however, unfortunately, it is preventing Papyrus Reeds from growing abundantly and has impacted this industry tremendously.

The Papyrus Museum was another amazing looking building (it was a state sanctioned store so it is much nicer than most buildings we drove by in Aswan even the hotels) they did this really interesting presentation about papyrus. It was a great presentation on how they make the papyrus. Did you ever hear about it? I totally loved it. I think I will remember that for a long time so if you want to know...ask me...I can tell you. Papyrus is the paper made from papyrus reeds and then they handpaint beautiful designs and images anywhere from scenery to Egyptian Mythology. They explained how you can tell it is an authentic Papyrus and how it is not. (Of course, there is no way that I could go there an not buy Egyptian Art, I mean I am in Egypt, right?) After the presentation, we were given the opportunity to walk around this fabulous place. The building that housed the papyrus museum was large and beautiful and there were hundreds of different pictures to choose from. One was displayed on the wall with a number and then in the back they have the one you would buy.

At first, I wasn't sure what I wanted. I did love the Goddess Nut Papyrus. (Just so you know how to pronounce it--it is Noot not nut! hahaha) It was extremely beautiful because it depicted a blue sky with stars on it--amazing! Then, I knew exactly which Papyrus I was looking for.

I was searching for a papyrus to tell the story of Isis and Osiris. Their love was epic and her faith was unwavering. It made me think of my love with my twin and how unwavering it is...no matter what, I have faith in our love. As I walked around, I couldn't find the one I was looking for with Isis and Osiris. I asked for assistance to find the picture I was looking for. The story that the perfume guy told me from the night before and having just visited the Temple of Isis was fresh in my mind. I thought it was funny that they only had this one. It is a picture of Isis and Osiris entering Paradise. And I saw it and heard the name of it and I knew immediately that is the one. Isn't that what it is with twinflames, paradise? Well, honest answer is no, it hasn't been and it isn't yet; however, that is what it is when both twins remember and come together fully.

See, often in twinflame relationships one remembers and the other does not. In my experience with my twin, I really believed he remembered before me. I mean I felt something immediately, but I kind of ran away because it wasn't what it was supposed to be at least not what I conceived in my mind for it to be; but he remembered right away. His spirit spoke through his human mouth the following, "I know I am supposed to love you, marry you and have children with you in this life." (yes, in this life is what he said.) And then long story short--he forgot again. The story of me and my twin will one day be written. Before, I go too far off on the tangent into the twinflame oddysey, I will remember for the moment I am writing about my experiences in Egypt.

This picture to me is an ultimate representation of twinflames. Isis represented the twin who remembered who her other half was even when Osiris was killed and hidden from her. Her undying love, the search for her husband and the belief that she could breathe life back into him. If you look closely, this depicts Osiris as he may have looked pieced back together. (If you remember the story, he was chopped up into pieces by his brother Set and Isis searched and searched for him not letting it go knowing one day she would find her beloved. When she found him she pieced him back together(except one important male part--interesting...hmmm)and breathed life back into him. This is why she is represented with the key of life, the Ankh, as she is also known as the Goddess of Life. The connection for twinflames in this picture is more than just the unwavering love and faith Isis had for Osiris, her twin; it was also the "piecing together" of Osiris. Before coming together, twinflames piece together their past lives, heal them and are prepared to help their twin to come to them more fully. The pieces they are putting back together are the many "lifetimes" they lived apart since their creation and all that needs to occur for their full reunion.

(Several years ago, I was out hiking with a friend. After the hike, I sat and did a meditation and a friend was there with me. I was describing to him all that I had seen. It was this beautiful woman coming my way as she approached closer she asked me to open my hands. I put my hands our with palms up reaching. She placed something within it. It looked like a funny looking key. After, I came out of the meditation, my friend laughed at me and said you need to brush up on your goddesses. That was Isis and she just gave you the key of life, the Ankh. Wow...and boy did she because after that I felt the power to make my life more beautiful.)

I did purchase a few other papyrus items. Here is one that I plan to have framed and placed in my office. Nature always speaks to me especially birds, rocks and trees. This particular picture stood out to me because it had lots of color (which I love) and the birds in a tree.

My shopping trip turned out to be happy...I am grateful for the experience.

1.12.2011

Not Pleiadian or Sirian...but Arcturian?

When we arrived back at the hotel, we all gathered in circle which is a little different than the other circle times--this is mid-afternoon with a beautiful sun shining above us. We gather in circle outside overlooking the Nile River.

It is a beautiful sun filled day and appeared much like I imagined Egypt to be. There was a chill being out by the Nile (boy is is a beautiful river), but boy that sun was so hot! I mean hot as it was beating down on us as we waited for meditation to begin. I even wore a scarf on my head....I looked something like this sporting the Egyptian look. (but this is a picture of me back from Egypt with a scarf I bought in Egypt)

We made sure this wasn't going to last long because of the hot sun; but I must say I was rather enjoying it since in Cairo I was freezing, did I tell you that? hahaha Armunkara Angel led us again into a guided meditation which once again was so powerful. Her voice and channel is so magical that it moves us through space. It was a powerful integration of the energies of Isis. She is so talented with her gift of channel that what appears to be a simple meditation in actuality packs such a wallop and punch that you can't help, but to integrate to realign your spirit! I felt high as a kite after. Then Solara channeled a message from her guides about our experiences at the Temple of Isis. DebRa channeled a message as well about how to remain balanced during our times at these temples because the energy is so powerful that it is easy to get out of balance. Thank you DebRa...great technique. It was an incredible day of receiving channeling information.

Then we did some basic housekeeping stuff with Solara An Ra about our trip back to Cairo. The original plan was to go back on the "nasty train", I mean the first class train (well you all know what I mean if you have been reading along!), but since we were all so resistant to that idea we were given options. To change from the "first class train", would cost us more and I am thinking I would pay more just for the cleaner options. :) The options were the nasty train or take the sleeper train or an airplane. The difference was $100 to $200 US Dollars so it was definitely something to think about. As it was this trip was magical to be able to go to, but one must think about money, but in this instance I felt like money should not be an object-I will ponder I thought...

At the Temple of Isis after the initiation, Solara offered to take pictures with people after the initiation. However, because our time at The Temple of Isis was so rushed and limited many of our group did not have pictures with Solara at the Temple. After our circle, Solara offered to do pictures with the Nile River as a backdrop. The rest of the day was free time so we could do whatever it is we liked. My friend Carole's camera was no longer working so I had offered to take pictures for her.

As Solara stood with each individual, it was like she was initiating them again because her guides came through with a message channeled for each individual. That was awesome to see and I totally loved hearing other people's messages. Very powerful and moving. (I was a little disappointed that I had already had my picture taken back on the Isle of Philae.) Then, as if Solara An Ra read my mind, she offered to channel a message to those of us who had already had their picture taken. I was so excited--doing mini cartwheels inside. I really wanted a message! I mean I am always giving messages to my friends, clients, students and well I want one for me from someone else. :)

Side note, so far on this trip, I haven't really been myself. I mean I am quiet ( I know those of you who know me can't even imagine that, but try...really try.) I felt really reflective and inside myself....almost feeling lost in emotion and stuck, but not really? If that makes any sense. I felt like I just wanted to experience the trip and not think. I was so emotional on my way, that I feel part of me was afraid to feel everything else so I got quiet and stepped into the background...if it were not for the people I interacted with I don't know that anyone would have known I was there. (hmmm...the worthiness thing perhaps? Am I worthy to be here on this trip that truly on paper I cannot afford? Am I worthy to be this kind of light? All these thoughts pervaded my mind from time to time. Was I really this powerful Goddess when I lived in Egypt in other lifetimes? Now this is something I hope to explore later, but just in case...what I learned was that my lifetimes in Egypt have not always been good for me...I mean I have had much pain and trauma in those lifes and I believe once I stepped foot on the sand--those old energetic memories pervaded my life there.)

Back to my message. Now, while she was channeling a message for everyone else...we could each hear it. I heard one person receive the message you have to love yourself more--okay that wasn't the message, but it was the gist of it. So I am standing there thinking...I better not hear that as I have been doing the work to love me. I do love me I really, really do as all or most of you are aware that it is TRUE. Rest assured, that was not my message.

It was my time to received a message from Solara and I was excited, nervous and anticipatory.

She first channeled a sound into me. It was a beautiful sound that didn't sound human. It was very powerful. Then she channeled a message into me which I wish I wrote it down (by the way this is another one of those times that I tell you all to write things down that you think you will remember and then lo and behold, you don't write them down and you don't remember. It is okay--I do that too!) I don't remember the exacting wording that she said, but I do remember most of it. Her guides channeled through her the following information: "You are an Arcturian starseed. Your mission on earth is love. The life you have chosen to live is, in fact, carrying out your mission. It hasn't always been easy, but it is exactly what it is meant to be. You will have a much easier time of it." Okay that is what I remember and I asked from support from my guides to help me with the clarity of it.

In case you are all wondering what is Arcturian? Arcturus is a planet full of light beings. You may have heard of the Pleiadians and the Sirians...well Arcturians is another member of the Galactic Federation. I always knew that I was something--hahaha I often wondered if I was Pleiadian, but now I have received my clarity which is something I have been searching for. So, we will talk more about them in the future...keep your eyes open to Arcturian information..(I'd love whatever you have gathered over time...as I have very little information about then at this point other than what I personally am channeling.)

So, Solara comes out of her channel and says, I don't know anything about the Arcturians and I think, really? Just my luck--I am a being from another mother and no one can help me. No one else on our tour was "seeded" as Arcuturian...(the other people she gave information about "seeding" were either Pleiadian or Sirian)yet again I am different, but I am liking it this time around, I must say. Just disappointed that she didn't have any information or has not worked with Arcturians before me. Someday I will have to ask Solara to ask her guides to channel information about the Arcturians for me.

Onward, we still have the rest of the day...hey I am Arcturian, what are you? Just trying it on for size. :)

The Island of Philae Part Two: The Escape

So here we are trying to tour the Temple of Isis so we can "feel" the energy and take pictures of this magnificent place. Still being closely followed by this man,the tourism police or just an annoying man following me, one never knows, but he was still following me. So we thought that maybe if we take his picture that would be enough for him to leave. (Of course, we tipped him for that--it was like saying hey thanks for following me around...here is your tip. NOT!)

Ironic, he was standing on the other side of the gate in this area where we walked to that was enclosed, so it looked like he was in jail...hmmmm such humor the Gods have!

Finally, we were able to get into the building of the Temple (able to get away from that man for a few minutes--I mean it was like he was looking for me when I disappeared he kept looking). In the back of the Temple, there was a room that looked like a place where rituals were performed. It had a stone altar and if you touch that altar, the magical energy that flowed into you was incredible. Everyone felt something there until a guard came and told us not to touch it. So, I let go of the altar table. Stepping away, I moved over into a corner in this room, and asked for help from Isis because I had my emotional meltdown just a few minutes earlier(you know the crying bout I had because of all the male attention I had experienced in the last couple of days--it was just so overwhelming just a few minutes earlier). I asked my guides and Isis to help me to put up an invisible shield around me. (By the way, I had been asking for that invisible shield earlier, but it was not working.) Then all of a sudden like magic , I saw a wrapping of gold light come around me from head to toe. I could feel it like almost a suit of armor was wrapped around me. It was like I stepped out of time. Before, I knew it--my friends said it was time to go and leave the room. It was a small room so we needed to leave it and allow others to come in. I walked out and that guy that was looking for me...walked right by me as if I was not there...Jean and Carole noticed it too. It worked...OMG it worked!! I was so grateful and felt so much better.

Now, it was time to gather back near the beginning where we started...so much for getting the opportunity to enjoy the temple. I finally get a sense of comfort and it is time to go.

We were watched very carefully by all security there. I feel like security was on high alert that day from us all being there. I mean how could they not feel the intensity of 33 lightworkers? Our presence was known if not consciously on different level it was clearly known. I wonder if wearing white had more to do with the color of white. I know that Muslims wear white when they are on a pilgrimage and wonder if that had something to do with us drawing so much attention.

The whole experience while magical at moments was a bit unnerving for me. I certainly did feel the presence of Isis there. Was just glad to leave the Island. The boat took us back to the port where our bus was waiting for us....not that the walk through the market was uneventful because again we were getting slammed with a market and offerings of camels, etc. What can I say? All in a day's work?

The Island of Philae: Temple of Isis

Today was another early start to the day. Had to be downstairs in hotel lobby by 7:00 a.m. We were heading out to the Isle of Philae and want to be there upon opening. The earlier the better that way we could get semi-private access. Now, today is the day of initiation into the Isis Frequency...what that means is the vibration of Isis is still there on the grounds of the Temple. The vibration is the frequency...Imagine that ? Tapping into the Ancient power of the Goddess of Life, she was the most powerful Goddess in Ancient times and her energy is there for us.

This is the day that we were originally guided to bring a white outfit for. But remember we all already wore the white outfit at the Great Pyramid? Yes, it was time again to put on that familiar white outfit with a little sand and camel smell. A little touch of the desert...

Here we are in the morning on the motorboat over. The day is beginning to look beautiful. On our way to the motorboat, we have to make our way through the market where the men came toward us again and started to "sell" their items. This is the first day that someone offered our group "camels for me". Yes, that is they offered to purchase me for camels. Can you imagine that ? Being sold for a bunch of animals? And yes, I do know that has happened for many years especially in that part of the world, but not to me so that was a little weird.

Anyway, we make our way over to the Isle of Philae--the Nile looks amazing in the morning on our trip over. We can already tell that the temperature is much better down here in Aswan than up in Cairo...it is beginning to feel more like the desert feel that I imagined.

We get to the Island and have to go through security which is a couple of guards at the entrance of the complex. They had a security gate you know one of those things that beep when you have something in your bag that gets detected? You have to walk through that and you open your bag for them to go through. It took awhile for us to get through. Now, remember we are going to be Initiated which means we have a few extra things like white sage, crystals and the like. Crealo Raa brought a walking stick with him everywhere we went because quite frankly there is a lot of walking and climbing everywhere we have gone. Well, the security guards (or tourism police--I don't really know who is who. It is hard to differentiate since they all have machine guns strapped to their sides....seriously!) Well, I was in line behind Crealo Raa and we were held up there while they "investigated Cre". Apparently, the walking stick is a weapon as was the incense he was carrying. So, it took us awhile to get through security and in the end, they held his bags and his stick and incense too. Poor Cre, he must have felt so invaded.

We all gathered together in a circle near the beginning to the temple where it seemed enough out of the way of everyone else. We set up our altar in the center of the circle with crystals and Solara began to channel. We gathered together in a circle.

Our tour guide(Stepen Ra) came over to warn Solara that we have only ten minutes before the police will come over. The thing is that apparently in recent months it was determined that meditation was no longer allowed at the temples in Egypt. Big group gatherings were not allowed either. So quickly, Solara channeled to us what we are to do during this initiation. She had to work quickly because Stepen Ra made it clear that they were threatening to throw him into jail. (Our poor tour guides, probably had no idea what they were in for touring a bunch of lightworkers out to change the vibration of the earth and themselves! They were completely wonderful. They did so much for us by getting us access and protecting us while we did "our work". They got us access by the way--by paying off the guards and such for some extra time or to look the other way as we prayed and meditated. They always went above and beyond. If you ever go to Egypt, I recommend their tour company: Scarab Egypt Tours.)

As Solara begins the initiation, Armunkara places oil on my third eye and Solara stands next to me with the Isis necklace on my third eye and channels a beautiful sound to ground the energy into me and then Cre, places his hands on my shoulders to really ground me. I was the first initiate and there was an incredible amount of energy coming through me. Then Solara made her way around the circle initiated each one of us. We all had our eyes closed as we connected to this beautiful energy. When we opened our eyes, we were surrounded by guards and security. We were told we needed to leave the area so we departed quickly--not yet fully adjusted to this beautiful frequency. We were told by Stepen Ra that we needed to disperse and be in groups of no more than 3. We were all so "high" from the energy. We left our area and began to walk around the temple. It was completely amazing to see this height of the temple. Incredible pictures carved into stone.

The Isis Temple Complex was huge and this picture is of the entrance into the Isis Temple Building. (By the way, just so you know our initiation occurred on the grounds within the complex, but not within this building as it would have been too weird for the guards, but then again clearly what we did was too weird for the guards.)

So as we dispersed into little groups, I walked off with Jean and Carole. The building was so magical. Now, it was clear that we were all in white so we were very noticeable to all the guards--easy to locate us. (On the one hand we stuck out like a sore thumb, on the other hand we not only looked beautiful all in white, but it was easy for each of us to locate one another.) So we were being watched by the guards. Our tour guides said they would wait for us in the cafe area (which I never saw because time wise didn't have time to get over there.) because they needed to stay separate from us (we found out later that they received a pretty hefty fine for us gathering in a circle and "praying"...Prayer as you know from my previous blog at Saqqara is not allowed in the Temple. Ironic really...isn't a temple a place to come together to "worship"? Okay, just looked it up online, Temple is a place of worship consisting of an edifice for worship of a deity. Hmm...someone might want to inform the Egyptian Government that the law is contradictory, well perhaps that is part of the reason the uprising is occurring over there now? The laws don't make sense. I digressed again...

Now, I know that when a person is activated--their vibration becomes higher they become more beautiful--that is their energy becomes more beautiful. This is a side note, but one that is important to note for yourselves, but also to help you understand why it is that I experienced some of the stuff I did with men offering camels for me --it was not one time that happened, but many. Here is a brief lesson of what I know to be true about our energy. When we are vibrating at a higher frequency, our energy is electric and magnetic. There is no way to describe what the feeling is because it is an ethereal reality experience. However, people who are unawakened and awakened for that matter are attracted to it. The unawakened soul (someone not quite accepting the reality of their spirit in terms of a higher connection than 3D or not understanding what is happening to them energetically on the planet...that is a really bad description, but enough for you to get the point for this can be a whole other post and perhaps someday soon it will be) perceives this energy as sexual energy. So hence when someone is at a high vibration, the unawakened soul perceives it as sexual/sensual energy because that is the only "human way"(emotion) that comes close to connecting what they are feeling. Does it mean that highly vibrating give off sexual energy? No--but the energy they emit may be perceived that way. (We high vibrational beings give off sexual energy to the partners we choose..and to those partners it is not even a question as the magnetism between twins is incomparable.) So, my point is I was rocking a very high vibration after the Temple Initiation (and apparently the night before at the Perfume place. Who needs ylang, ylang? When you have it you have it I guess. )

There was this one man --tourism police perhaps. He followed me everywhere in this Temple. He followed me Carole and Jean. I didn't feel good about it. It was so overwhelming. No matter where we went he found me. Carole and Jean knew it was me he was following because they could tell. They felt bad for me. I tried to sit down near a pillar and there he and another man was. I walked around and felt like I was being followed...I was. It overwhelmed me so much. I didn't get to truly enjoy this magnificent temple. I finally broke down and cried. I felt like I wanted to escape, but there was no where for me to go. It was like a nightmare where you are being stalked, chased, followed and there is no way out...and literally, there wasn't...we were on an island and I had to wait for the group so I could leave.

Will end here....Look for The Island of Philae Part Two: The Escape...

1.12.11

Perfume? Tea? Me?

Now, we have dinner scheduled back at the hotel for 8 p.m. (we tried to convince the Tour Guides that we just ate at 5:00 and would not likely be hungry for dinner tonight, but they already set it up and it was too late). I am already really tired and want to go back to the hotel to rest up and dinner is the last thing that I want to do.

On the bus back to the hotel, our Tour Guides, let us know that since we have a couple hours before dinner, we have an opportunity to go to the state sponsored "perfume store" which is really 100% authentic essential oils. We were supposed to have that opportunity when we were in Cairo, but too much was happening and we needed to be rested for our work at the Pyramid and Sphinx, but this is something that I really wanted to do. To be able to purchase pure essential oils that I could use in my business--how exciting! So tempting to go to sleep, but I don't know if and when we will have another opportunity to buy them so I am going. There is a group of about 12 of us that wanted to go to the Perfume Store.

The bus drops us off and brings the rest of our group back to the Hotel. We walk into this fancy building (much nicer than most buildings you see in Egypt hence state sponosored). They bring us into a middle room where there are all kinds of fancy bottles along the walls and in the center of the room. Really could spend money just buying the bottles.

Seating was all around the room. So, we were instructed to sit down as they had a presentation for us. We all took our seats and I sat between Kamala and Sopdet Ra. They offered us a complimentary drink. They offered us mint tea and quickly we recalled our experience with dark black tea with mint leaves. I suggested, could we have boiled mint? They looked at us like we were nuts, but they boiled mint for us. Apparently, they are wondering why on earth anyone would want mint leaves boiled...but I have to say to all of you...if you are ever in Egypt...ask ..they are so fresh and so delicious you don't really need anything in it except the hot water.

Then the presenter begins telling us about the "chakra perfumes". He apparently knows that we would want to know about them...our Tour Guides were amazing at conveying just what we need. So as we sit there on the benches that are in a u-shape around the room. Then in front of us to the right is this area where like 6 people are sitting. I felt like we (the tourists) sitting there for presentation were like live television for them. It was crazy funny. So imagine, that you are sitting in your living room and to the right of the television is a group of people just sitting there watching you as you watched tv--that is what it felt like. Now all of us were completely tired, delirious from not sleeping the night before and just pure giggle happy. Sopdet Ra and I couldn't contain our laughter. I swear we were "Egyptian Tourist television"...they just looked on at us like they were watching tv.

The presenter came around with an oil (perfume) for each chakra and told us we can put it on the chakra...so we put the crown chakra oil on first then, the third-eye chakra oil and boy were we getting high. (Everyone laughs at me because I have never done drugs and truly do not know what it is to be high as everyone else knows what high on drugs is...but believe me if you have ever been high on energy you know what it is to be high.) I was floating all over the place; truly high on the oils...those of you who know what it is like to use essential oils in your practice will know what I am talking about.

Meanwhile, they bring out the tea in glasses,yes like a juice size glass. You know it is small, see through glass which means it is hot and very hot. We could barely hold it in our hands. The "boy" (because he looked like a boy) begins passing them out...and gets all nervous especially around me and Sopdet Ra. So the presenter carries on in description of oils and chakras. The he gets to the Sacral Chakra and says this is the oil you need to use "Ylang Ylang" to get you excited. We start giggling like crazy because thus far as you know I haven't needed Ylang, Ylang to draw male attention. (Meanwhile, over in the box seating where the rest of the people that work there sat and watched us, I saw a man honing in on me.) The poor "boy" with the tea gets too unnerved walking by us he bangs into the table and knocks down our boiled mint tea..."Noooooo I thought in my head someone finally got my mint tea right. Don't fall over." Thankfully, tea fell over, but it wasn't the three of us.

So to bring you to the point of why were giggling we had been putting the oils on all our chakras with the exception of the last three chakras (lower body chakras). So, the guy got all nervous and says "go ahead and place this on your sacral chakra, place this on your root chakra." And we were like, really? I felt like a teenager in highschool in a sex ed class. You have to imagine being awake for about 30 hours as this point, little to eat, high on these oils...we had no choice but to feel all giggly. That placement of oil is not something that we should or would do in public. Laughing hysterically, we all put it on our arm.

Now we finish with the presentation and we are welcomed to "test" any other oil we want to. So we find out that the group of people over on the side "watching" us are salespeople and they are to come over and "work" with us. Guess who came to work with me? Yep, the man honing in on me from across the room. (Truth be told he really wasn't a bad looking man, but really? I must have looked like crap after not sleeping and being windswept on a boat not to mention my eyes must have been bloodshot at this point.) So, he puts the pressure on by hovering over me as Kamala, Sopdet Ra and I decide what we want to purchase. Kamala, my Arabic Speaking Angel, tells him to step away while we decide--he did for a whole three minutes. When he came back, he was very interested in what I had chosen. Each of us is brought to the "register" which is a telephone, calculator and credit card machine (in American we would think shifty--in Egypt we think technology! hahaha). I finally get to pay (the last person to pay). They go into another room to fill the orders. They go to a separate room to pour the oil you purchase into a glass container, seal it tight with extra tape for travel and then box it. Each person pays their money and gets there stuff, but not me.

Then, I am taken to the other room where the orders are being filled (I pulled Sopdet Ra with me) where they are packaging the oils (again I was apparently the last person to get their order filled). Kamala came in and got hers and left. Sopdet Ra gets hers and is ready to go...I am pulling on her shirt saying very clearly (DO NOT LEAVE ME. DO NOT LEAVE ME.) He (the salesman who is the owner of this plac) likes me and wants to keep me. I would hope date me not keep me, but it felt more like keep me. He decides to have his people fill my request and he wants to give me a gift because he can. He knew I liked the scent of Isis so he gifted me with a one ounce bottle. And, he told Sopdet Ra she could go because she had her stuff...he wanted to tell me a story. So I said oh no she will wait with me. So he gifted her a one ounce bottle of Isis just for being there with me. (Lucky her, huh? Who knew my magical beauty would captivate this man? lol)

So he wants a picture with me...and I am not sure he wants a picture with my camera--=I think he had his own he was ready to go and get. He tells me to make sure I put on Isis tomorrow since he now knows we are going to the Island of Philae and the Temple of Isis. He says the oil will bring out the Goddess Energy in me even more. He says that if I wear this oil, I will feel the power of Isis and Osiris. He tells me the story of their love and; the unwavering faith and love Isis had for her beloved twinflame Osiris. With patience, love and faith, Isis was able to conceive a beautiful child, Horus who went on to rule Egypt.

Now in telling me this story, the salesman didn't know the impact or the full effect of his words. I think he was telling me on a 3D level as a flirt thing...but on a 5D level he was speaking directly to my spirit...it was a love story that touched my body, mind and spirit. The faith, unwavering love I have for my beloved twin. The interesting correlation to the chopping up of Osiris and the literal piecing of him back together is really interesting as I connect it to the "pieces of the soul" that must come back together healed to make a soul complete before it can unite with its other half so to speak. It also brings to my mind the balancing of the masculine energy with the feminine energy. The male energy has been the stronger influence on the planet until recently when there has been an influx of divine feminine energy--we need both to balance it. But even more we need the female energy to help the male energy...hence Isis bringing Osiris back to life. She helped him become whole again and then they were both together welcomed into paradise--the full reunion of the twinsouls? It made me think there was something I needed to pay attention to. Okay, what a beautiful moment I felt as he spoke.

Meanwhile, I am holding onto Sopdet Ra as this man spoke and I quickly became aware that we were the only ones left in the store. The man wanted to keep talking with me (I didn't really understand what he was saying because he was speaking in an Arabic accent...and it was heavy and unclear to me most of the time, but he really did try). As I write this, I feel bad because I did judge him harshly being a man who was interested in me (but on some level that is flattering, but I think I may have gotten enough flattery for now).

So we escape the store and get on the bus and we laugh because I didn't need ylang ylang to attract a man or get my sacral chakra open. Apparently, mine is wide open and wow...my experience at the store can be summed up: The owner offered: Perfume? Tea? Me? hahaha.

So we have dinner back at the hotel, meet in our circle which by the way I LOVE!!! Then we get to go to bed...AND...remember my concern with the room's cleanliness? I have since decided to sleep fully clothed, including hat and gloves too. (We didn't have heat in the room either!!) Isis we are coming tomorrow. It is a big day ...we are being initiated at the Temple of Isis into the energy of the Divine Feminine Isis. So it is good night for now...
