March EDITION - Coming Full Circle !
AFRICAN ODYSSEY 🌈 III
MARCH 2024 ( part One )
“Coming Full Circle!”
All of us once were babies. All of us once were little children full of questions and wonder at the world around us . All of us started our journey into the unknown with one small step.
And now here we are . Fully conscious . Fully awake to this multiple reality around that surrounds us . No one was born to hate or despise his brother or sister .
We all once played with each other in purity and naivety - no rules - just the boundaries we set that would if crossed end up in tears or even laughter . But in play we release the inner child - realising the real lies with real eyes !
Yet all around us today we are seeing wars and rumors of wars.
But as we progressed on our Iliad - our odyssey through Africa we began to realise that there is another kind of glue that binds living beings in Africa - you can call it “ Natures law” or “Gods law “ …
I have watched how three lions caught one zebra . It was truly art . They sat watching the herd perhaps for hours . I too watched them as they focussed all their attention on those grazing animals .
We think that life is not ugly in the incredible nature we see all around us . We - in the west have a modest - tame and “ civilised” life - nobody hunting another - nobody fighting anyone either - but deep down it’s there . That primal instinct . I have seen it and felt it with the gorillas of Rwanda and the Ruhengeri mountains .
And I felt it on that day in the Kruger Park as if by telepathy those 3 lions jumped out of cover on cue and one by one they divided their prey until only the weakest one was left and as if by a crescendo of symphonic harmony by a classic composer they descended on that particular one and brought him down . In one moment . That is Africa. Sudden . Powerful . Like the rains . Like the downpour.
Furious - AWESOME- timeless !
I have travelled through Africa for much of my life and seen it’s amazing faces and great and powerful landscapes .
Now we travelled by Tazara railways up towards the Selous National park .
Here in Tanzania 🇹🇿 live over 50 000 lions - the most in the world . It has the longest and third deepest lake - Tanganika and borders Lake Victoria - the BIGGEST in the world.
I once flew over it . At sunset - a 1000 islands below me - this little known wonder stretched out before me endlessly and wildly .
It’s undiscovered and untamed beauty still a mystery .
I recall seeing the flamingoes of Nakuru and climbing mount Kenya as a boy with no guide - that was how we rolled - living free as we were BORN FREE ! Aho!. ( Go see the movie on YouTube )
Tanzania is also home to whale sharks in Mafia Island and passion fruit in Zanzibar and Elizabeth Goodalls GOMBA chimp reserve . Every day is a new adventure - you simply cannot predict it !
In Arusha below the Serengeti plain I stopped to purchase a small tanzanite stone - a fire stone that glitters with purple flames .
In Dar es salaam I visited the colourful cloth market and boarded the 3 day journey with my fellow rainbow warrior mat to Zambia 🇿🇲- it was and always is an interesting journey - not just because of its length …
- but also because you never know what may happen or who you will meet - before the internet we would write notes and post them
On the thorn tree in Nairobi - MAO tse DONG -TAZARA railways is still working and At 40 dollars it was worth it .
It goes over 1500 km into
The vast hinterland .
I’ve taken the bus last year from lake Malawi while I was planting hemp and smoking one of the the best ganja the world ( they bury it in the ground in banana leaves for a year )and that was a nightmare .
A very large tree fell on the road blocking the bus which promptly got stuck in the mud and we spent a few hours pushing and pulling until a truck finally dragged us out of the quagmire we found ourselves in . That’s Africa . TIA- THANKS God I'm still here! I could tell you a 1000 stories under the stars.
People in their abject misery still help each other out . In Europe they wait for the local
Tow truck . T.I.A. - “This is Africa ! “ Here people push just like in the rainbow 🌈 Olympics !
Whenever something goes wrong - and it’s bound to this is Africa after all...- that’s what you say - TIA- ( Go see blood diamond )-I’ll add a letter from our avid traveller and light worker - Larissa shortly - she got caught up in Kenya with the Masai . Josiah went back to England after Uganda.
Clem is still in Kenya as is Nur - who has found his path in pizzas - he says the Italians colonised his country for 8 years so he’s finding a way to make them pay for it ! I asked him why he’s working so hard ? - and he answered “- in my country - Somalia -they say if you walk at 20 then you run at 60!-
“In our Odyssey we don’t make distinctions of race or religion . Africa is already living the rainbow life and it will be easier for it to return to the bicycle than Europe. Fact.
But Our goal is to spread the rainbow spirit across Africa - as we look forward to the WORLD RAINBOW 🌈 Family to come to the motherland this year . 2024
IVORY COAST !
( stop the New Yorkers over profiteering from cocoa)
There was only one main incident on the way to Zambia - the train broke down - and I fell off the bunk and gashed my leg pretty badly . Instead of 3 days we took 4 .
I has brought some rehydration salts in case of catching cholera since we heard of an epidemic in Zambia - but all was fine . Just paranoia .
Climate change has meant that rains were early in East Africa and last in Southern Africa .
Tanzania is probably the only country in the world that asks for a yellow fever card - but it hadn’t had a case in years !
Crazy .
That’s how ridiculous Africa can be .
I have seen police officers in Mozambique reading tourist passports upside down .
Fining people for driving with sunglasses -and in Angola kidnapping my friends for ransom ... ( they drove off at night evading machine gun fire but at least they felt more alive )-It’s a bizarre and wild continent !
The wildest …But east Africa is safe compared to some of the rest of Africa . How do I handle danger ?
With my senses wide open ! TIA !
Being in the here and now .
The infinite moment . You cannot live in dual realities as most do in this narcissistic modern smart phone world … being here now is the true rainbow way .
That’s why we leave our electrical
Equipment at home or in our backpacks - this IS about connection … Africa is ALL about connection and this is our biggest lesson as we grow into adults !
EMBRACE LIFE !
Peace 'n love - milk 'n cookies 🍪!

"Letters from Larissa ". ( Part 2)
"Since we always - all ways work in collaboration in this collective consciousness - I had to publish some of the beautiful messages I received from my sister Larissa 💗
She's currently in Kenya with the massai -
" 1. Where are you dear aslan , did you make it to Johannesburg to distribute those sacred seeds? I didn't make it to zambia yet,
I'm staying with maasai people out in the Serengeti , After receiving such a beautiful warm welcome and invitation to their land, i decided to stay on , as its a chance to connect and get a true glimpse into their indigenous heritage and daily life , they are full of love and kindness, share everything they have and to receive a guest or visitor is an honour to them , they say it is a blessing ! They also gifted me a Massai name today Namayiana which means blessing or blessed 🙏🏻
They really take care of you and want to protect you! I've had Maasai at my side accompanying me everywhere! Guiding me in their village and even to the market and when we go on bush walks they bring their spears!
The nomadic way of life of course goes back to the roots of all human history, I feel the Maasai are among only a small handful of peoples across the world who provide a last living link to our distant past and despite westernization they still largely honour their traditional ways and ancestry, You can see they are still closely connected with nature, Although they became Christianized, many maasai still worship the forces of nature and give offering to the great spirits of the land and sky, as their forbearers once did ..they also invoke the four directions
It's beautiful
Please keep me updated,
Are some of the family scouting in zambia? I so hope to connect with the rainbow there
One love 🩷💚💛💜❤️ "
2. " Blessings into the new times bright soul! Is this Aslan?🦁 💫💫💫 as we are nearing the end now of kali yuga , a big shift and reset
Despite the evil forces that reign and threaten to swallow us up , i feel the anchor of light is growing more powerful everyday and will continue to sweep over the darkness
We are so strong in unity and will keep surging to the light , until the very end
We shall return to Gaia's garden , walk and live in pristine harmony and finally collective live that long cherished dream of utopian paradise on earth 🌈🕊
3. Wow a Prince of the stars you are sent to re build this temple , indeed decreeing it a house of prayer and reconciliation , for all faiths/ nations, for one day we will all gather around the same altar, in our return to oneness , heal the divisions and disharmony created in our world , that chasm that has long separated us from our beloved creatrix and that deep felt union with all of life and from celebrating out true life source expression
This wounded distorted consciousness of separation as we know is the fault line of our current civilization and from where all ills stem from
Imagine if every being was to declare and choose the simple humble path of love /oneness it would create a radical quantum leap in consciousness ..
It is with loving missionaries such as your self carrying the torch, that we will see this spiritual renaissance , enter the birth of a co creative collaborative consciousness that invites all into its dance of love .. no distinction of feminine masculine , no duality /separatism, the way of Union at last not separation
One day humans will again take up their rightful place within the vast interconnected web , to restore our connection and honour all life again as sacred , remembering we are not separate ..that we are each held within the great cosmic mother's beating heart, which is the heart of all,
the creative, nurturing energy of the Universe ❤️
this super consciousness flow through every thread of our being and basically permeates all of existence
Much has been sacrificed as we know for a life of convenience and so called progress! With a detached materialistic objectified way of seeing, that has long disconnected us from our source, that which also connects us all,
You can imagine how once upon a time - all peoples of all traditions across all continents honoured this,
They would have been In awe before the powers of the world! Marvelling at the fullness of life around them..breathing in the manna of life's spiritual force
Because its deeply inherent ..our ancestors lived by the seasons, cycles were truly immersed in nature and lived, breathed and interacted with a world that they saw and felt to be animate with luminous connectivity..Imbued with mystic life force , inhabited by forces and spirits ,
with which we exist in ongoing relation...
Of course we are all here to share and rejoice the bliss of our true existence, the sacred simple honouring of life, which I feel is more present among African people , living unfettered and a simple natural humble way of life without grasping wanting, knowing they need very little materially, that they take nothing from this life, rich they are in their hearts , in their being, why I feel my heart belongs there, with all those joyful loving hearts
I feel we will all return to Africa from where it all began, lake Ticana(!TURKANA) as we know to be the cradle of humanity
Absolutely we can self heal, blessed with remarkable abilities and of course tools too, mother natures balm, I know when we are supported in the right conditions we can heal anything! Glad you have witnessed this too
We are living miracles
Such a beautiful vision you have 💫💫🙏🏻✨️✨️
You have to be the most inspirational person ever! A true marvel of creation
Excited to see how things unfold
And so hope we can all assist in helping realize it
So Johannesburg next then zambia March time? Perhaps I could connect find the rainbow family on the western Cape have contacts/group ?
Would love to support the mission let me know once you need volunteers , be part of this big hemp movement
All love 🩷🌈🩷
Would love to reconnect and support your projects in southern Africa , where are you based ? I'll be Namibia end of Jan then hopefully travel overland to Zambia and kenya from there ..also plan to stay couple weeks with friends in capetown
Let me know where you are"
...
THE ANSWER?
WE ARE EVERYWHERE! 🙏
"Every great journey begins with a small step - an act of faith... A rainbow 🌈 in the distant horizon that gives your heart a ray of light that we call HOPE.
This good Earth 🌎 my friends is RICH and abundant beyond our wildest dreams. There are still many frontiers to cross...
But in 42 years of travel I realise that every journey must end for a new one to begin. Everyone must come full circle with themselves. And then we upgrade to an even bigger horizon far greater than any we have ever experienced before.
This is a journey each one must take on their own.
For perfect love casts out all fear... and in this love we become the candle that lights the pathway of all humankind ! " ALV
AHO!
Keep the faith 👊
