The Costa Rica Experiment

Hi guys,

I’m doing a communal living experiment in Costa Rica November 1-30.

I’m looking for a kick-ass pad for someone to rent us, or donate, for the experiment.

Would you post here details of places you KNOW are good? Or people you know who have a place that may be available?

(posting here is preferred, but if you wish to send it privately, you can email terri AT solutionbox.com)

CRITERIA FOR THE HOUSE:
can house 15 people, hot tub, killer view over forest or ocean or both, preferably high enough to be cool (i.e. more mountainous) but not a dealbreaker, no more than 1 hour from a major city, 30 minutes preferred, in nature, place for kids to play that’s removed sound-wise from sleeping and main living areas, high speed internet via cable or sattelite (that’s a deal breaker).

Thanks for your help!

The Wealthy Gypsy: Business man leaves desk never to return

PRESS RELEASE
The Wealthy Gypsy:
Business man leaves desk, never to return

New York resident David Wood left July 10 for a 10 day trip to Colorado, and 4 days later decided never to return.

He’s living out of his suitcase and laptop, and is exploring what it is to be a “Wealthy Gypsy.”

His apartment is being rented out via remote control.

He’s been seen hiking into back country armed with Bear Spray in the Banff National Park, Canada, river rafting with speakers and authors from The Secret in Vail Colorado, and lunching with such thought leaders at Jack Canfield (of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame)in the Napa Valley.

David says: “It’s amazing what can happen when you quit your job”.

He’s using the experience to improve his “Wealthy Gypsy Training Program” which helps people to replicate this very unusual lifestyle.

David has three staff whom he’s never met.

Speakers and Authors Networking Conference

(I arrived in NAPA Valley for the second conference for the Speakers and Authors Networking Group (SANG), thinking I would be bored by all the business.

But I was BUZZING and flying the whole two days.

We’re talking about best selling authors, multi-millionaires and even billionaires, including Jack Canfield (from the Chicken Soup of the Soul series), Bill Bartmann, Ron LeGrand, Alex Mandossian, Stephen Pierce, Joel Comm, Russell Brunson, John Carlton, Armando Montelongo, Veronica Montelongo, Brendon Burchard, Mike Koenigs, Kevin Nations, Matt Morris, Simon Leung, and dozens more.

Wow – just one simple idea couldl doublel sales 400%.

I’m meeting people that can put me on stages in front of a thousand people, with just a word.

I’ve been wanting to really connect with Jack, and yesterday we had lunch and a good, real talk.

Instead of speed dating we did speed networking, and I have a juicy, NEW (again) title for the book and training program – stay tuned.

Wild Nights

WARNING: The language is direct and explicit and may offend.

From “Wild Nights”, by David Deida….

Relationship is bondage, unless your love is larger than the cult.

Love is a wound. Love hurts. You must learn to live wide open; hurting open with love.

If you are bound to objects – even people you truly love – then you suffer, because they can’t deliver what you want from them.

These boys, they’re going to fantasize about sex with young women for the rest of their lives. And by the time the ladies are saggy and wrinkled, and the men are too old to care, it’ll be too late. They won’t have the energy to open beyond their shriveled concerns for a better life. A day without too much pain will be good enough. And when they start dying, they’ll be horrified.

No-one is willing to feel the bliss of the Great One, because they are wrapped up in sex, or wishing they were.

I was using the affection and flesh that now surrounded me to pad myself from the stark free-fall of utter surrender, from the nothingness of deep, open being.

The feeling of tragedy dissipated, leaving only a deep love, wounded to be sure, but also eternal.

One day Michelle, your breasts will hang like soggy pancakes and your ass will sag to your knees. You’ll wake up in the morning, put your dentures in and paint your rotting face, and wonder which of your friends died today.

She’s not your mother. As good as her love feels, as war as her love fills your heart, you are clinging to the breast and missing the moment’s depth. You are afaid to feel totally alone – that is, so open there is no other. NO OTHER.

You need an other so you can be assured of yourself. And the one you want, the one that gives you the most assurance, is your mother. You want to feel her warmth, her smell, her support, her devotion to you – you won’t let go of that.

On the surface, it looked like he and his teacher were at war. But the war was always already over, and love had won, even if the fight continued to appear on the surface.

“You have been given a burden of bliss”, Mykonos said quietly, but with absolute intention. “You know what you have to do”. “This burden is my gift to you”.

It’s time to sit down and have dinner with the monster. (this one from David Holloway)
