October 16, 2012
Ricardo and I spent most of this day struggling over how we would move through the next couple of weeks. Ricardo had purchased a week’s vacation for the both of us to travel to Cancun, Mexico, between October 22 and October 29, 2012, and canceling that vacation came up several times throughout the day.
I tried very hard to maintain a positive attitude so that we both would bring positive energy to Madonna’s show, but the more I tried to stay positive, the more difficult things became. At one point, I just let go. For Ricardo, having a good time at the show was only one more happy memory he would have to face further down the road after we separated.
To help him, I offered to give my ticket to someone else so he would not have to worry about it, but that didn’t seem to be a good option either. Slowly, whatever enjoyment I hoped to experience at the show faded away.
Miraculously, however, everything turned around at the very last minute, and we both left the house in an excellent, positive mood. When Ricardo purchased the tickets, he suggested getting Madonna’s attention from the stage. We laughed at some of the ideas. On a spiritual level, my connection was with Madonna’s music, not her personally.
Ricardo and I arrived at the US Airways Center at 6:15 PM. It is located in downtown Phoenix, on the 33°26’51.36″ Parallel.
After we parked my van, we walked over to the south entrance of the arena, where we had to stand outside until 7:00 PM.
We located our seats once they finally opened the doors, and I sat down to invoke the “Letting Go” angel. I performed this meditation between 7:10 and 7:30 PM. Ricardo took the following photos during my meditation.
While performing the meditation, I received an insight that asked me to tear out the “Letting Go” page from the 72 Names of God book. Once the meditation was complete, I returned to my van and dropped off my book and reading glasses. Then, I was led to write MadonnaAndChris.com on both sides of the page, which I had torn from the book. I quickly returned to the arena to see the show.
Madonna didn’t come on stage until 10:30 PM.

That’s me in the audience at the end of the video. Madonna points her gun at the top of my head twice while singing, “Do you wanna die happy? Do you wanna die happy?” I take my hat off to her immediately afterward.
Throughout the night, I kept looking for an opportunity to hand someone the torn-out page from the 72 Names of God book, but that opportunity never presented itself. When the show ended around 12:30 AM, Ricardo and I left the arena and headed home, still wasted.
Ricardo and I spent the next several days deciding what to do for our vacation: visit Cancun, Mexico, or stay in the United States. On Sunday, October 21, we decided to remain in the United States.
On the morning of Monday, October 22, we set out for a week of vacation in the Arizona, Nevada, and California areas. During this time, I would complete several more days of my journey on the 33rd and 36th Parallels.
