Ello folks, me again.

It’s pouring down with rain outside so I’ve nipped into the tent for a warm and decided to update the blog while I’m here. Meanwhile Prajna is on waving duty outside. The lovely Niall has been round with a big pot of the most delicious curry for us today so we’ve lunched well and all of our cockles have warmed beautifully. Breakfast consisted of Prajna feeding me grapes. – I told Prajna when we first met ten months ago that I was born to be spoilt and he seems to agree with me on that, which is nice. (Insert big cheesy grin here!)

I forgot to mention yesterday that one of our new friends, George, popped round with a few bits for us on his way to visit a dying friend in the nearby hospital. Also a lovely guy who’s been following this blog and sharing the link with his friends came by with a donation to our camp fund. (Thanks you so much for that, it meant we could give Alan a little toward his fuel costs… He’s been here every day except one and is struggling to afford the go juice needed to get here.)

I think maybe it’s rime I told you a little about myself so you might get some idea what, besides my beautiful Prajna, brought me to this point in my life.

For as long as I can remember I’ve been interested in discovering the way things work and the links between the esoteric, the spiritual, the political and the individual. Somehow I’ve managed to journey deeply into my own being even as I’ve explored the outer world. I think for anyone determined to discover the whys and wherefores of this existence the journey must always go in both directions – inward and outward.

I had many childhood traumas to face along the way, which inevitably lead me inward to face the truth of myself. At the same time I was always intensely aware of the inequalities and injustices being perpetrated around the world in the name of corporate or political gain for those few who stand to gain from such a system.

And, as it took me over twenty years to fully heal from those childhood traumas, to finally let the fear and pain go, to forgive and love those I needed to forgive and love, so it took me that same time span to fully realise the extent to which the corruption and inequities within the socio-political/economic systems are there by design, put in place deliberately to deprive all but the few of our birthright and our common heritage – not to mention the utter disregard for this abundant planet, the resources it provides us and all those weird and wonderful species we share this Earth with.

I have explored the Freeman on the Land concept, Lawful Rebellion and environmentalism in depth, I have studied politics and sociology at the University of Liverpool (and have a worthless piece of paper, a 2/2 BA honers degree, as a result). I’ve also explored Christianity, aspects of Buddhism, Taoism, the I Ching, meditation and many other practices and systems designed to further the journey inward, toward the heart and the source of my being.

And so I have found that it is only in truth and in love that we discover our individual power and can then reclaim (or claim) that power for ourselves rather than allowing it to be sucked from us by those vampires who’ve taken control of the world we share. ‘Know yourself’ is the message here, because it is only through knowing oneself that one discovers real joy in living.

And then I met my Prajna! Unstoppable, inseparable, in love.

Thank you all for your support, love and kindness, and for taking an interest in what we’re up to here on the forecourt of Autolift on this busy main road in Chester. I can’t tell you how much your friendship and generosity means to us and what a huge difference it makes to us here, especially when it’s raining… That said the rain has now stopped and I sense brightness on the horizon.

Namaste (it means the divine in me bows to the divine in you),

Kazz and Prajna.

Well, it’s day eleven here at camp autolift and it’s about time you heard a little from me.

It’s been the most amazing few days I hardly know where to start! The outpouring of love, compassion, fellowship, generosity and kindness continues without pause. Every single day we’re overwhelmed by the kindness of strangers and friends old and new – young, old, rich, poor. That’s been the single best part of all of this for me. Seeing human nature as it truly is, beyond any cultural or social corruption.

Each and every day people stop to chat with us, to find out why we’re here doing what we’re doing and invariably leave as friends of ours. This is such a huge opportunity to enlighten and inspire people we’ve been blessed with here and the response of those we speak with is not only heart-warming, it also gives me great hope for the future of humanity. I love every single one of you and thank you for your presence at our little camp.

Prajna is working so hard, spending huge amounts of energy explaining, in his beautifully eloquent way, why it is we’re doing this, then going on to update the blog and respond to all our skype messages, etc, late into the night. His voice is now at least two octaves lower as a result of all the talking he’s doing! He’s not in the least put out by any of it though… truthfully, Prajna was born for this and only welcomes every opportunity to share with others.

This morning, for some unknown reason, I was feeling rather tearful and sad. Prajna simply poured his love out to me, told me it’s ok to be sad, to just go with it and see if it dissolved or if the reason for it became apparent. So that’s exactly what I did and very quickly my tears dried and sadness melted away just in time for Dave and Bernie (regular visitors here) who popped round with a bag full of provisions for us.

One reflection I realise that, as usual, my tears were for my girls (my three nieces now living in Australia who I miss pretty much all the time… just sometimes more than others) so if you’re reading this Ali and Lauren, know how much I love you and make sure your little sis knows too. 🙂

Dave and Bernie left just as ‘The Lord’ arrived. A local guy who, as soon as he departed, rang the prime minister’s office about the situation here, telling them it was Lord Foster calling from Chester. Their belated response being to ask if he was a ‘real lord’. He returned a little while later to tell us about this call and to give us the number of the local BBC news desk and a contact there, whom he had spoken to.

Not long after Dave and Bernie had left we had a visit from a traffic cop, Phil, who stopped by for a visit toward the end of his shift. We had, as is becoming very common, yet another excellent interaction with an intelligent and open-minded constable. Having been on leave for the past week, he wasn’t fully in the picture as to our presence on the forecourt of autolift, though he had been told we were here. By the time he left he knew our position and respects it.

Later a group of older teenagers who stopped by last night night to talk, returned with a friend who wanted to meet us. Their visit was followed by an hour long chat with a local CID officer, Rhys, who wanted to get a better appreciation of our position. It was really good to talk with him, not only because it’s a rare occurrence for a cop to take the time to to talk properly with us, but also because we really felt he understood where we’re coming from. Prajna says he felt more heard and understood by Rhys than any other serving police officer he’s spoken to.

Then the lovely Alan arrived bringing all his warmth and love which we appreciate so much!

Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention that Starfire and his mum came over for a couple of hours too, bringing with them more food than me and Prajna usually eat in a week. It was great to see them both and we look forward to seeing them again next Thursday.

And this evening ‘commonly known as freeman’ came all the way from Chorley with his family. For my part it was really lovely to have a couple of young children enjoying the makeshift camp we’ve, with the help of all our friends, created here. And, naturally, it was great to meet yet more members of this ever growing family we find ourselves part of.

And now we sit, myself, Prajna and Alan,to enjoy the rare peace of the evening and the wafting smoke from the dhuni fire.

Till the next time my lovelies…

Love, peace, harmony,

Kazz and Prajna. xxxxx
