Spirit Quest

Here’s a wonderful video from National Geographic about the New Alexandria Library. I had the great good-fortune to be invited by UNESCO to present a paper at the library’s grand opening back in 2001. It’s an amazing structure that rivals anything found in Europe or America. We always try and add the library (and Alex) to our Spirit Quest Tours Egyptian itineraries.

I’ve just discovered a terrific video streaming/sharing technology for HD video called Vimeo. Since we’re shooting and editing in High Definition these days I was extremely happy to find something that it offered much better quality than Google or You Tube (all the way up to streaming HD), and I decided to repost the “Spirit of Egypt” video using it.

Beautiful images from Egypt: the people, the cities, the land, the temples and the Nile.

I think the best place to start is with my late adolescence – around age 10 or so. That’s when I first pursued an independent path of spiritual exploration.

I was raised as a tepid Episcopalian. We hit church for all the biggies: Xmas, Easter, funerals, etc. But God didn’t intrude much beyond that. [...] Continue Reading…

A quick googling of “Spirit Guides” returns well over a million results. Just about every spiritual tradition on the planet embraces the idea of some form of spirit guide: whether they’re called angels, devas or ascended masters. And I have to say that I’ve had my share of experiences with these “non-embodied” helpers. But that’s not what I’m talking about here.

I’m referring to the real-life, flesh-and-blood, currently incarnated kind of “spirit” guides without whom meaningful experience, if not useful access, at sacred sites would be a lot harder to come by. All over the world I have consistently found myself dependent upon, and deeply blessed by, the kindness of strangers who would become friends. [...] Continue Reading…

Here’s a video overview of one of our upcoming trips to Egypt - The Spirit of Ancient Egypt - with Houston Baptist University. Visit the site for this trip.

In upper Egypt there’s a temple dedicated to Hathor at Dendarah. It’s a remarkable site. While the current temple is Ptolemaic (i.e. very late in Egyptian history) it’s built on, and contains, elements from much, much earlier times. [...] Continue Reading…

Two recent news stories - from very different parts of the world - help to confirm what we’ve known for a very long time: namely that sound was an integral part of ancient spiritual practices and that resonance was a key technology that was recognized, understood, and used, by the ancients.

As you would expect, there’s a never ending stream of discoveries coming out of Egypt. Here are a few of the latest. [...] Continue Reading…

The Balinese practice a unique form of the Hindu religion that they call Agama Hindu Dharma, which is something of an amalgam of “traditional” Hinduism, Buddhism, animism, ancestor worship, Zen and perhaps even a little Shinto. We in the West tend to think of Hinduism as a form of polytheism, but this is erroneous.

Practically everywhere you look in Bali you will see offerings made to the Divine: flowers, rice, leaves, food, candy, and even a little money. The tiniest offering is a delicate little cone made from banana leaves and flowers (it looks just like a sushi hand-roll), while the largest and most elaborate will be as tall as a man.

You can find the most amazing and beautiful things in Bali: from 12 foot carved stone Buddhas to the tiniest, most delicate silver filigree work - and everything in between. It’s all of the highest quality and the lowest prices. [...] Continue Reading…

The average Balinese will, between birth and adulthood, pass through a whole series of ceremonies that ritually mark, and celebrate, the various stages of human progress.

One of the most elaborate and important is the “matatah” or tooth filing ceremony. The optimal age range for tooth filing is generally considered to be between 6 and 18 years old - but even the elderly will have it done. [...] Continue Reading…

The Balinese can be called by 6 different names: personal names, birth order names, kinship, teknonyms, caste names and public job titles. [...] Continue Reading…

Our Balinese friends and guides, Yenta and Darta, often joke about “rubber” time in Bali (that’s one of the great things about our friends at Tour East - they’re always on time). But it’s not surprising that time would be perceived a little differently in Bali than here in the States.

The Balinese use three different calendars at the same time: [...] Continue Reading…
