Pedro: I am an alternative healer, working since 25 years in all types of holistic medicines, and what you describe as your place in Ibiza, which i visited some 15 years ago and i agree is a wonderful place, is the dream of many a healer. Yet i am a little grown up now. As you say, no more kindergarten play. Maybe we could do something together, i risk to offer you, and i again agree that there is needed term of spiritual adultness. You are seeking for spiritual company. That is a very valid wish. Me too. I have been able to find my self comfortable with the every day encounters, yet sometimes my soul demands a soul-to-soul contact. Now i understand that besides the pure pleasure of having a spiritual contact, the reason to have it is to enhance our capacity of serving humanity. Let us share and see what comes up. Let us see how much truth can come through the ego veil.
   BeiYin: I am not going to aim at the goal of 'healing' but for sure that is the most necessary for all, beginning with each individual up to the planet. Healing in the sense of being whole, coming back to its essence, to its origin, its source. In Falcon Blanco there is happening healing and there will be more. Ibiza has strong healing energy: the nature, the sea, the sun and the special atmosphere. The architecture of Falcon Blanco with domes, stones and natural shapes, helps to re force this energy and the installations like special rooms for meditation, overtone singing, individual sessions like massage, etc., the 'samadhi tank' and the 'sweats lodge' are made for healing. This will happen anyway. What is even more significant will be that several people come together with the same intention to 'serve' then the energy will be multiplied, not in quantity but in a way that it might go far beyond one's personality. I am not 'Christian' but when it was said: 'If there are two or three gathered in my name, then...' that meets it quite well. So there might be something happen which is new and transcends the old. We can't plan it and we can't foresee it, we just can be prepared to let it happen. Are we ready to step into undiscovered land? Doing, thinking, feeling without any etiquette? Can we dare to leave the old behind and start something without knowing what will be the next step, just being aware of the step we are taking now in this moment? One advantage we have: There is a basic field we can start with. There is no need to worry about our existence. We exist and we know that we will have covered our basic needs. We don't need to waste time and energy to 'make money'. We don't need to do anything for or because of money. We have our bed and roof and for food we need to work very little, just taking it and preparing it. So we can feel pretty free and can indeed concentrate our energy to 'serve', what might mean to be open to whatever comes, so that we can respond the way which serves the best... Let's try to watch out very carefully that we choose the right people and look that we clear up what is vision and what is still illusion.
   Dhara: I visited Falcon Blanco in June this year in order to participate in a 'Tantra-Yoga' group from Berlin (Germany). Immediately I felt drawn to this place, with its open space, its atmosphere, the special buildings, all the many plants and animals, especially the dogs Natcho and Kalinka and last not least the people living here: BeiYin and Laura (a Spanish lady who also lives & works there). So it turned out that I was more interested in Falcon Blanco than in Tantra Yoga and so I took the opportunity to get to know more about this place and every thing around it... Here in Germany I work as a lawyer in a law firm and I like my work. Most of the time I check and design contracts and deal with arguments, ideas and formula. Yet, the only aim is profit and success and it always leaves a feeling of emptiness and separation. In Falcon Blanco I see the opportunity to live in a different way, to have the space to discover yet unknown parts within me and to express myself in a way of more ampleness. I don't know how this will be and what will happen, but it is like an open door and I will dare to pass the thresholds, leaving the old behind. So as a consequence I have already quit my job and will arrive around the 10 th of October in Ibiza. I am not going to write about 'spirituality' or a 'spiritual Community', I prefer to try it out. When I read your comments, Kirsten, Blenda, Jean, Pedro, Lobster, I'm also very curious to get to know you in real, to see, hear, ... you - perhaps one day? It feels so good to know that there are 'like-minded' people in this world and even better to be with them... 
PS: The 'Chaos' in FB makes me want to roll up my sleeves to get started, but I am aware that this will be a process which has to do with myself and the people working and living there. I am prepared that it might be not that easy, but I see the beauty behind the chaos and I am willing to go through to it.
   Pedro: Hi friends, it seems to be forces are pulling me out of Venezuela. Economical situation is getting worse here every day, as elections are coming next december, because chances are a hard military might win. That is going to bring changes many don't want. Hope i can get at least enough money to catch a plane :-) to spain.
   Thank you Dhara for sharing your opinions and insights about FB. You have the advantage of having been there. Also, as i see, you must be quite free in an external sense, as to move so quick. I am in the border of such decision, yet i have to ponder some more elements. One of them is my son (please BeiYin give me some ideas or answers about this). 
   BeiYin: I don't see any problem that you come with your son. It seems to be pretty sure that you will not leave him here in case you go, - like people often do with their animals, that's why we have about two dozen cats and five dogs. ;-) 
   Pedro: He is 10 years old now and is a wonderful sewage specimen, sensitive, sharing, art oriented and loving sports too. Life brought him back to me after i split from his mother 6 years ago. Both of us believe he is better with me now. So one question is : how about children? are they allowed? and if so is there school near?
   BeiYin: Your son is welcome in Falcon Blanco and I am pretty sure all the other will agree. As your son speaks spanish so there is no problem with school, 'el autobus escolar' collects the children, he would need to walk by foot about two miles, as he likes sport so this fits. Right? Or he may take a bicycle.
   Pedro: I would like to hear opinions from the group around. In a sense we are building a family, and a family has children and old people too, so what about extreme age people? What about people coming with babies (that is not my case, i quit baby production already). 
   BeiYin: Building a family, fine, but I have had enough experience with babies here and I must say that at the moment we can't accept babies. We will need all our energy to go ahead and establish the place. Babies need that much attention and the parents build such a strong nucleus, that they need too much energy for themselves. I am not against families with children, but we must look first to survive and use all our forces. With an age of 10 your son may also fulfill some responsibilities, like watering flowers, giving food to the animals, etc. just being a responsible member. There is one dog, who came one day and didn't leave, he is blond and white with short legs, a very friendly dog, his name is "leon" or "leoncito" how I call him. He is happy here but needs personal attention, so might it be that he is waiting for your son? 
About 'extreme age people' there are things to do, we will come back to it later on when we might talk about our initiatives in the future...
   Pedro: Well, let's keep this brain storm going. Each person has a yearning to fulfill. Big, small, down to earth, in the ether, what ever. Like Lobster says he wants to build a sacred place. Who knows what is behind that? The question is how is that stuff going to be managed as a group? I mean each people's "crazy" project or yearning. 
   BeiYin: If the "craziness" goes together with tolerance, understanding and sharing, then there should be no problem. At least for my part I can say: I am crazy enough and as well tolerant enough to give space to every bodies ideas as long it doesn't hurt somebody or the group. But about that we may talk ... 
   Pedro: I like to heal. So i develop constantly more new and subtler ways of healing, with crystals, with my thought, restoring the Original pattern, materializing a virtue, etc. I would like to go on with that. It is not that it is my profession. It is my soul manifesting. Besides that i love working with wood, photography, planning, building and fixing any thing, writing (poetry too), computers, internet. I belonged to an esoteric school for 12 years where my work was -always- to take care of the garbage. So, i am not afraid of work, what ever it may be. 
   BeiYin: We don't need to talk anymore: It is pretty sure that you are the person I am waiting for! You know there is such a lot of garbage, I really need to share this with you. (I guess I don't need to make a 'smily' now). 
   Pedro: I like this idea, your idea, our idea. But please, help me in this temporal emotional weakness i may have: if there is a reason why latin america is called third world, that is more than correct the name for Venezuela right now. I am in the midst of that situation. You know, is like being jailed. Can you believe that a normal medical doctor here doesn't get even a $1000 a month in Venezuela? Yet every item he uses comes from the USA, full priced. 
   BeiYin: Even if you would live in a good position, earning a lot of money, etc. even then you might want to come to live in Falcon Blanco. Dhara has dropped all this because there are other needs to be fulfilled. We have a 'call from within' and there are no circumstances which will hold us back from going for this. Right? 
   Pedro: So that brings me to another point, which is money. BeiYin says we need no money. Curious enough, i dream of a world without money, where people are loving and evolved enough to give you what you need, whenever you need it, same as you will do in their case. I feel we must work to get that, at least in a small scale now, yet we have to recognize we still live in a materialistic world which only sees $$$. 
   BeiYin: You may learn things from me as I might learn other things from you. 
We don't need to work for money. We do what we like to do and that what is necessary by responding to what shows up in this moment. I was told (from my inner voice) that I would have always enough money for what would be necessary and as much as would be good for me. And I can ensure you that this became true. Another time I will talk more about it... We can have the confidence that we are guided. Right? And we are open to influences which guide us. When I was told something which felt right then I trusted it and so it could be realized. When I was checked a few times then it was a proof of my trust. About 'money' I am ready to keep my attitude to the most extreme we are capable. 
   Pedro: I might have to sell my car and other things to have the money to fly to Ibiza. I have an office which i shall have to close and maybe sell all in it. Big changes and no problem to face them, yet that decision has to be taken with responsibility. So please, let us share our opinions about that.
   BeiYin: I can't tell you what to do. You must listen to yourself and do what feels right, (you mentioned it already very clear: The decision from your heart.) you can trust this and you will not make any mistake. If it feels right that you come to Falcon Blanco, then go for it. Ask me whatever you want, which might help you in your decision.
   Pedro: I dare to say all this because i am feeling a high level of commitment in this group. Answering to Dhara's wish to know each other, we might begin to share pictures of us, i propose. I have a lot more to say. Well, next time. Love to all, Pedro. 
   BeiYin: That's the way that we will 'come together': sharing and trusting. 
   Blenda: I just read Pedro and BeiYin's dialogue. It covered a lot of ground, answered questions for me and then made me initiate some self-questioning. We can all learn much about each other through this vehicle. I think that sometimes, when we are in the midst of making a decision which will impact our "safe little lives," we get a kick in the butt that makes the decision a little less painful to make. It sounds like this has happened to you, Pedro. The climate in Venezuela has shifted to the point that it seems you need to leave. I, myself, have had a very strong urge to go to FB, and now I am beginning to understand why. When I read the mail from Dhara and now from Pedro, I am visualizing a space that is very appealing. I am a critical care nurse in the U.S. but consider myself more of a holistic nurse and spiritual healer. I utilize a lot of massage and reiki in my patient care, to try to give very sick people some comfort and solace. I try to create a mindless space for them that is temporarily void of monitor alarms, ventilators breathing for them, pain and anxiety. In the U.S. we have everything available in health care and many times these things are over utilized to put money in the pockets of health care providers, mainly physicians. We recently had a man die in our unit who morally should have had his treatment stopped months ago. In-stead, he was kept "alive" and was awake and aware of his misery. When he finally died, his hospital bill was one million dollars... to be paid by the taxpayers. And yet there are many people in this country who have jobs and cannot afford health insurance or health care. That is why I must stay 'in the moment', so to speak, or it would all become overwhelming for me.
   The past two years, I have gone to Guatemala to help build a house and to assist with free surgeries. These times renew me and make me feel joyful. I love being with people who have so little in terms of money, and are so trusting, generous and full of love and faith. It is a very humbling experience for me. 
   I also have a family, and many pets. I would like to come to Ibiza next summer and work for three or four weeks. I collected all the medical supplies for the trip to Guatemala, all from things that are to be thrown away here. Even most of our instrument trays are now thrown away. It is such appalling waste! If you need anything that I could collect, I would be happy to send it or bring it. Like I have said, I am willing to do any type of work. 
   Pedro, if you are taking your son, I would be interested in bringing my 8 year old daughter, who is also very creative, friendly and would love to help with pet chores, gardening, or anything that she is able to do. I am trying to steer her away from the warped American value system, to grow and become evolved on her own. Of course, she chose to be born in this country, so some of it is just what she chose as life lessons. I envision so many beautiful people and experiences at FB and hope that I can become part of it. We have the opportunity to create a network of "like- mindedness" from around the world, to come together for growth and pleasure, to serve each other and those around us. I know that we have been drawn together for a purpose... I have felt this coming to my life for the past two years, but I let it go, learned patience and didn't question what this wind that was blowing me around was, or where it came from. Now I know. It is all very exciting!
   Lobster: Do we have building capacity/rights? My immediate though is to create a sacred space on a physical plane. To have this space respected and not allowed to be another 'temple' or 'meditation room' for everyone. When people who are impure in their intent enter such a building part of them is left - just as those in a special state of mind leave this. What we have is a process or possibility for a 'amplification process'. This might sound rather elitist? However I hope you understand what is being said.
   BeiYin: I understand what you are saying, although I see it not limited to a space someone might create. A sacred space on a physical plane is "Planet Earth", the nature, our bodies and possible also a space we might create. So if you feel that you want to construct such a space, this should be possible, it depends on its dimensions if we need an official building permission or not. Not long ago I have build a 'sweat lodge' just from reeds and clay, pretty sacred and it fits into the landscape. You can also dig a cave into a slope, for this we don't need an official permission. I am not that much into building anymore, what you will understand when you know all the buildings in FB, I have mostly build with my own hands. - Right, the domes I have build are indeed 'amplifier' and pretty powerful. One of them is that strong, that I used it only for a few months and had very strange experiences, then it was used for a group of pregnant women and I couldn't use it anymore. After the women group had left after two years, it was not possible to use it anymore and it was a storeroom for many years. Then again I cleaned it up and prepared it, I guess for the same you would do. But I felt that I didn't want to do it alone, so after a while I used it again as a storeroom, this time for food, we are getting in abundance. Half a year ago an astrologer/healer/magician came and he wanted to use this dome. We cleaned it up, but before he could use it, strange things happened and he left. Since then the room is unused. It is a dome like a 3/4 of a ball, 5 m diameter, without windows just has three round 30 cm holes and several other openings... So maybe this space is just waiting for you?

Invitation to relate to Life differently...
BeiYin:   During the last 25 years I have experienced that my different attitude towards the materialistic aspect of life works in a surprising way. 
   This attitude has its history which maybe should be mentioned:
Many years ago, when I still was a young man, I had started to meditate. During this process of connecting with subtle energies of my self, I had questioned many things of our society and also the attitude towards money, because I had seen that every thing seemed to turn around this. 
   To make the story short: I was told from an 'inner voice' that I should not worry about money. It was said that I would have always enough money and that much which would be all right for me and I would get every thing what I would need. Well, I trusted this and I went on living with this confidence. I went through many phases of my life, had a business starting with no money, never having too much but always enough to go on. I did things I wanted to do, was married for 12 years, etc. When this phases of my life were lived, I came to Ibiza. A had just enough money to do the down payment for some land with a ruin on it. No money left. Then started a new phase by practicing my attitude differently because I had no income at all, but I had a horse, two dogs, cats, chicken and myself to feed. I started to rebuild the place with very little money and sometimes it was tough, because once for example I had to decide to buy cement - or food and I bought cement... and then I got surprisingly on the same day some food from somewhere else. Sometimes it felt as if my trust was checked. The hardest was one day, when I had no money to buy food for my dogs. So when in the evening they were looking at me with big eyes and there was no food, then I said: Once in a while a day without eating is good for your health, tomorrow you will have food. And from then on there was always food for everyone and now after all those years, I am getting the best meat in abundance for my animals and ten times more they can eat and all for free, so I had to organize a distribution system to give it to other people with a lot of animals... So this was just an example. In the same way it worked with all other things. I build up the place and now there is living space for about 20 people, there is plenty of food and there are possibilities to do creative things. (I am getting a lot of material from people, they are calling me to fetch it, so I have twenty times more material than I can use for my sculptures, buildings, etc. 
   Since several years I am trying to find people who might like to live in a kind of 'community' but even working a lot in the Internet since three years, there seems nobody interested. The materialistic aspect seems to be that important for most people, that it doesn't fit into my life style, even those so called 'spiritual people' seem to be the same in this aspect. Well, I don't want to do things halfheartedly, but this makes it difficult for most people. But it is hard for me to believe that there are nobody who consequently is living or willing to live what already 2000 years ago was taught: 'Strive first for the kingdom of heaven then everything else will fall into your lap...' or something similar. I am not Christian but this says it very well. 
   I still can't understand how it is possible that people are 'spiritual' and then they just switch and the money with all materialistic aspects takes over and influences their behavior. (Well, I know how this is possible, I have written a lot about it.) 
   I have created the mailing list "Liberty beckons" to invite people who are interested to join our discussion. If your read the archive, then you can make your comment and send it to me. I really would like to meet like-minded people and have an exchange with them. There was written quite a lot until now but still we are on the first steps of a 'coming together'. 
   Blenda: This piece you have written is heartfelt. It is truth. 
   All of this discord and unkindness among people who are calling themselves spiritual, sent me into a period of introspection... which proved to be a time of profound darkness. 
   I try to respond to all from perspective of love, and yet my buttons were pushed during these internet confrontations and I also responded unkindly. I defended myself when it was not necessary. I sank down, until I felt ill. 
   I now have more of an appreciation for what it has been like for you trying to find likeness to share your space. Many words were written over the past couple of weeks, and many things were misunderstood. I came across this and wanted to share it with you. 
   'Words are merely utterances: noises that stand for feelings, thoughts and experience. They are symbols. Signs. Insignias. They are not Truth. They are not the real thing.' It is a simple statement, but one which helped me to shift through all that has gone on here. 
I want to come to FB, just to be. Anything else will become clear to me as I meditate. I want my daughter to experience it however she will. I want it to be simple. 
   All the talk going on about FB was making me dizzy. It was getting too intellectual and too complicated. My life is already too complicated! I feel comfortable with your thoughts and your feelings. I'm not asking for anything more. 
   Dhara: I also read most of the discussions with Pedro and Lobster. It's exchanging arguments on an intellectual level, which is fine, but not enough for me - and I guess also not for you. I exchange ideas and arguments the whole day here in the law firm which is just intellectual gymnastics. 
   I don't want to waste my life with this kind of games (until now it was all right, but now its over).
   And I was lucky enough to discover FB where there might be new opportunities. I want to go there and I do it. As I read, you also want to come to FB. When we are going to meet?
