JUL-AUG-SEPT-OCT-NOV-DEC 2022
In an attempt to overcome my astrology, I performed The 72 Names of God No. 45 – The Power of Prosperity for 20 minutes at the following location—122°11’42.23 “W 37°50’34.82″N on August 8, 2022.
I was trying to manifest some change in my life, whether that change was a new job, a windfall of money, or some opportunity that would allow me to be on my own and continue my adventure. However, the only thing that manifested was a $10 lottery win, and there was more talk about me possibly moving to Puerto Vallarta to help Ricardo with his house there.
On the morning of August 15, 2022, I had an exciting dream about a spaceship that appeared in the afternoon sky. The spacecraft was above a thin layer of clouds and moved around in all directions, and I was pointing out the spaceship to other people standing around me. When the spacecraft flew directly overhead, I felt like I was being paralyzed, receiving some download, or being abducted. The feeling only lasted briefly, and then I awoke from the dream. After reflecting on the dream the following morning, I couldn’t help but wonder if I experienced a download of inspiration.
Between 9:50 AM and 10:10 AM, while looking out of the picture window of Ricardo’s house facing downtown Oakland and San Francisco, I performed No. 45—The Power of Prosperity again for 20 minutes. Nothing happened over the following week. It still felt like the energy was stuck or blocked, so I revised my meditation the following Monday.
On Monday, August 22, 2022, instead of performing the No. 45—The Power of Prosperity prayer, I returned to performing the complete set of The 72 Names of God prayers. This time, I brought out of hibernation the rattlesnake skin staff that had been gifted to me several years earlier—the same staff that I had left out in the desert for a long period near The Transfiguration of Christ Mountain in Phoenix, AZ. I had been told that this was my “power stick.”
I finished my prayer, expressed my gratitude, and then waited to see if the following week brought any inspiration. Meanwhile, Ricardo and I had more constructive conversations. He could feel my frustration.
I repeated the prayer on Saturday, September 17, 2022, and was inspired to compile all of the dance videos I had made throughout the years. After all, I was in my “STAR“ year, for goodness sake. I joke.
After several more prayers, I concluded I needed to let go, stay still, and remain grateful. Maybe I was exactly where I needed to be for the time being.
On Saturday, October 8, 2022, I repeated the prayers, asking for my own space, place, and money to work on perfecting a new practice I called The Restoration of Christ. I wondered if developing this practice was what my journey of the last 12 years was all about.
A month later, on Thursday, November 3, 2022 (11/03/2022), my van and many important items I had gathered on my journey over the last 12 years were stolen while parked in front of Ricardo’s house. My heart was broken. The message was clear: I had no choice but to stay put. I prayed that the sacred items stored in the van would be returned to me safely.
It wasn’t until Thursday, December 1, 2022 (12/01/2022), that the Oakland Police Department found my van 3 miles from Ricardo’s home. After regaining possession, I had the vehicle towed to Ricardo’s house. I soon learned that the thieves had stolen the catalytic converter, punctured the gas tank, and rendered the steering wheel and ignition useless. Everything in my van was taken except for the items that were most precious to me. It was the strangest thing. Delicate feathers and rattles that had been gifted to me by various Native Americans were completely unharmed and in perfect condition.
I was so grateful to have these items in my possession once again.
