Beginning the Last Leg
A warm hello from Laguna Hills to all of our readers, around the world! Thanks for continuing to check back with us periodically to see how things are going. We are rounding the turn into the home stretch, with only a few more interviews to grab, and a few more months of events. We are beginning to get organized for the transition into postproduction, and spirits around here are high. We are so blessed and so grateful for this opportunity to share our lives and our spiritual journey with all of you!
Things have been really intense for me, personally. Zimmaron and I recently moved into Louix’s home, and have been blessed to sit at his feet, soak up his radiant divinity, and learn more about ourselves each day that we learned in the entirety of our lives before moving here. I cannot properly express what a blessing this has been for me, and also how intense the training has become. There is so much internal shifting going on that sometimes I feel as if I am about to implode and make a big mess all over his clean carpet. What a mess!
Making this film has taught me more than I could have ever expected, but most importantly it has taught me that there is no experience in the entirety of human existence like walking with a God-realized being at your side. There are not really words to describe it. Hopefully, watching the film will give you some idea of this amazing experience, so stay tuned to find out more…
Signing off for now.
