Say I'm getting crazier each time, but I was informed about this movie yesterday and watched just a quarter of it still (its duration is for 2 hours) but already inspires me a lot about what is happening in life really. And this one is quite related to the stuff I am into right now. It's super interesting and really opens our minds to a better understanding about the world. Watch the full version here!

I went to ROCK Ministry Christian Church yesterday with Dewi because we were late for the 9.30 a.m. mass in FX Kuta Church. From the priest we got some messages that I will share with you here along with the lessons I learned from the past few days:
- Do not ever give up. Even when you can't do no more but not willing to give up, God will extend His hands to help you. (remember the story of two sets of footprints?)
- Do not limit God's power. Even when people think we are unworthy to receive such gift, but if we insist to ask to God with faith, we will receive it in the end. (Matt 9:20)
- Believe. Then again, your faith is the one that saves you. (Matt 9:22)
- Ask and you shall receive. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and a door shall be opened for you. (Matt 7:7; Matt 21:22)
- Don't think you know it all. Just because you know a lot of things doesn't mean you know all things. We are somehow human and that made our knowledge limited. God is unlimited. Don't try to overpower Him.

It's been weeks now since my last post and suddenly it's the end of February. Today is full moon day, which is important to Hindu-Bali people, and for me it's already a year since I moved in to Bali. And since it was not raining, a friend fetched me at 11 p.m. last night and with another friend the three of us went to Tirtha Empul, a water spring bath with lots of showers. The pure water is meant to purify our bodies literally and also our mind and soul in metaphor.

So first we have to say greeting to the gods (or God, depends on your religion--but NEVER ask anything from things other than God/gods. There are many unseen forces out there and we'll never know if they are good or evil), then go to the changing room to put our belongings in the locker and to change if necessary. We need to wear the praying clothes (which are cloth around our lower body part), and for women, to cover the upper side of the body. After dressing up properly to this sacred place, we could then enter the pool complex.

Saying our prayers and asking for permission once again in front of the pool, then we are ready to enter the 100cm-deep of spring water pool. We can literally see our feet and the pebbles under so clearly even there are so many people taking bath there. There are also fishes swimming there, and, in a very rare occasion, a big eel would show up to us. But no picture is allowed to be taken on this believed-to-be-sacred eel.

We had to bathe ourselves from the head on each of the showers in the first pool (the big one) except for the two different shower heads (because they are meant for dead people), then the two showers in the next pool (the smallest one in the middle) and just one shower in the last pool. After that we could change our clothes back in the changing room then go to the temple to pray.

This was my second time to do the melukat (cleansing bath) and the first time to do this in Tirtha Empul. The first one I had was on full moon last November, performed by a Pemangku (chief of the temple) in Tanah Kilap Temple. Apparently my Balinese guidance said it is best to melukat either in the natural water spring or in the river/sea because it is natural without passing thru anyone's hands, even from a Pemangku. And it's best to do it on either full moon or on Kanjeng Kliwon night.
This is not necessary to be done if you are not a Hindu, but can be an interesting experience to have if you don't mind following the Hindu-Balinese culture. For me, Hindu is a very ancient religion that makes us closer not only to God and neighbors but also to the nature and the natural forces. For me it is truly interesting because of its culture and the yadnya (ceremonies). Happy full moon day!
This is my third post of Nuswantara Code for Atlantis Empire. Here are videos #13-18 and I will keep it posted here until #200. Enjoy!
I found this from someone's Facebook post and I seriously think it's necessary to be in my blog also. So I post this here, thanks to whoever made this..
Here are the next videos (#10 - #12) from Turangga Seta group about the lost Atlantis continent. Check this awesome unbelievable yet true facts!

In every meeting there would be a goodbye. At some point you will know when to let someone go, for the better good. And what I'm feeling right now is exactly as how belated Mrs. Houston put it in this song, which the lyrics had never felt so meaningful to me before and I had never cried to this song before. I have put the other poems in my other blog but because this one isn't mine, I put it here.
So here's it, not my poem but every single word in it represents exactly how I feel inside. I'm sorry for this mellow post.
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
You, darling you, hmm..
Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So goodbye, please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love
And I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you
You, darling I love you
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you

Lately I've been introduced to this shocking fact of the whereabouts of Atlantis. This fact is brought by a group of people named Turangga Seta who call Indonesia as the Nuswantara. They believe that Indonesia was the center of civilization in ancient time and that the lost continent is actually located in the south of Indonesia, which is in the Indian Ocean.
There will be 200 videos in total, but there are only nine uploaded worldwide until now. I strongly believe in this, also because there are logical/scientific explanation about this, that will be stretched in 191 more videos--be patient, LOL... For now, empty your brain and be prepared. Check these out and be amazed with me!
Now what do you think about that?
You can check about more of the proof at their Facebook page Greget Nuswantara or to their website at www.lakubecik.org.
