I program until 1 pm.

I take to Madre Tierra and get to videotape the chanting and musical performance organized by Pondo. There a many moments when tears well up in my eyes from the wonderful sound.

I enjoy a little time with Trina.

Heather and I share a delicious dinner she has made and we watch a movie.

I am arrive at the Juice Factory at 8:30 am.

As I walk towards the bus station, a empty yellow cab slows and asks if I am going to Loja. Not being a Ruta Taxi I hesitate a split second before jumping in. I have the back seat to myself. The driver stops just before San Pedro and picks up another passenger. I arrive in Loja 45 minutes later for $3. The cab heads back to Catamayo known as Loja Airport.

I walk to the Notary’s office and get copies of all my papers notarized. In addition, I have a declaration of my single marital status prepared and notarized.

I buy supplies at Super Maxi as well as almonds at the Fruit Market known as Diego’s.

I am back in Vilcabamba by 1 pm where I eat another fruit bowl at the Juice Factory with Eliza.

Will comes over from 9 – 12 pm.

Full moon!

I wake up to the sound of rain.

I am feeling extra sensitive.

I work until 2 pm when I walk the loop with Pat.

Pat and I eat at Sambuca’s where we are joined by Galen.

Pat & I visit Yves at the hospital.

I wake up in the still of the night. I am reminded that in every moment there is both death and birth.

Trina invites me to come out for a visit to where she is house sitting in San Joaquin. I bring Chinese food to enjoy with the soup and the rice Trina has prepared. The conversation flows.

I walk back into town. A long flat walk that takes about an hour.

At Pura Vida, I drink 3 juices and sit with Juan and Galen.

I allow the full moon to magnify my feelings.

Jade publishes a new entry in her blog. http://passionfruitcowgirl.wordpress.com/2013/02/22/snakebite-evilcabamba-diary-3/

I make 3 trays of almond chocolate.

I drop off some chocolate at Bernie’s and get to know a guest there named Rory.

Delightful dinner with Heather at Cafe Cultura.

Trina drops by briefly.

I walk the loop.

I enjoy dinner and a movie with Heather.

My dream: I am up in a tree house with a woman I care about though I don’t know who. Next I witness 3 people getting arrested for drugs. Then I watch these massive concrete strips pushing the soil up. Next I have a view similar to mine overlooking the village from a safe vantage point. A tsunami like inflow of water flows into the village but it rises to about 3 feet only. I am concerned about the woman I care about from the tree house but I intuitively know she is fine.

I make two batches of chocolate. One peanut butter and the other almond.

I walk the Vilcabamba loop.

Lunch at Juice Factory conversing with Eliza.

Renata and I walk back to the four corners together.

Digits and written material consume my afternoon evening.

My internet is down all morning. I get some coding done and go into the village.

There is a crowd gathered outside the Post Office along with an Ambulance. I ask what is going on? Glenn, a 3 year resident of Vilcabamba originally from Canada, was found murdered.

I eat a fruit salad at the Juice Factory and Lamont reads my palms.

I bump into Heather at the fruit and vegetable store. We go back to the Juice Factory and Lamont reads her palm as well.

I pick up my 3 cases of honey at the Post Office. Sweet!

I enjoy a walk,  popcorn and watching 3 episodes of the TV show Touch with Heather.

I solve some client concerns.

I mail chocolate to Darren.

Heather and I eat lunch at Mr Tomas. We walk to my place and enjoy tea and conversation on my deck. The chat continues at Heather’s place.

Life is infinite. All possibilities already exist. Consciousness chooses which possibility to focus on. Life is existence and consciousness is a witness to existence. A judging consciousness experiences heaven and hell. A being consciousness experiences peace.

A judgment consciousness chooses separation from experiences deemed bad and attachment to experiences deemed good. The experience exists and meaning is applied. 

The being consciousness IS with the experience of existence. The Doing Not Doing experience.

I eat a Pitaya which cleanses my colon. The process starts within 45 minutes.

Pat & I walk the loop and eat at the Chinese restaurant. New menu and higher prices. My soup and rice goes from $3.50 to $4.00.

Renata, Galina, Cliff and I take a cab up to see a place for rent.

Renata and I enjoy tea and each others company. A full rainbow hangs over the valley as I leave.

I start reading Vilca Flora, The Valley of rare Fruits by The Kurious.

I upload the One Billion Rising video I took on Valentines Day.

I walk into the village. Pick up honey and peanut butter. I return home by walking the Vilcabamba loop. I walk past the school where the voting station is set up.

I take a nap.

Music from my neighbour across the way while I focus on getting work completed. I succeed.

Marco prepares an affidavit of me declaring myself single.

Lunch while I sit with Fran at the Juice Factory.

Heather and I dine at Cafe Cultura. My favourite dessert so far.

An evening of nourishing conversation with Heather.

The village is completely silent as I walk home. Not even a rooster or barking dog to be heard. 

I work until noon when Will comes by.

Pat, Will and I eat at Mama Silvia’s.

Pat and I walk about the square chatting with several people.

Pat and I dine at Pura Vida and are joined by Galen about half way through the meal. Later David and Mary Ann join us also. The conversation is intriguing.

Pat and I walk back home.

Happy Valentines! Big chocolate hugs and kisses to everyone. May love fill every moment of your life.

Brian Armstrong is the owner of Coinbase.

Fred Ehrsam joins Coinbase as employee #1

Fred worked at Goldman Sachs as a foreign exchange trader where he traded both manually and managed their electronic market making platform, supporting in the $ billions in flow a day. He has been trading bitcoin for close to 2 years, and has built some impressive solutions (both on the trading algorithm and mobile application side) as a software engineer.

Coinbase allows anyone with a U.S. bank account to buy and sell bitcoins. Coinbase earns income of 1% for Armstrong and Ehrsam on every buy and sell of bitcoin. There is a 4 business day delay for transfers to / from bank accounts. This gives them an ever increasing float as more people get in the game. They are in a position to control USD / Bitcoin exchange rates with this float and a buy / sell algorithm. This is where Fred’s expertise as Goldman Sach’s market maker and mobile app development comes in. Mathematics can be used to generate more trades using automated buy / sell algorithms. Similar to banks and casino’s, stock exchanges rely on mathematics to generate revenue. They always win because the mathematical odds dictate this. Their only focus is on discovering cheating. Coinbase is an exchange specifically a Foreign exchange. It trades only USD and bitcoins. They plan to expand to other currencies. Bitcoin has the potential to become THE central currency. Every player once in the game can exchange bitcoins with each other without a middle man. It’s as easy as sending an email. Bitcoin sends / receives are irreversible, instant and without a fee.

I watch the Billion Rising dance infront of the church.

I sit with Mohan & Nina at the Juice Factory.

I receive a package from iHerb. I also receive my translation of the apostilled birth certificate.

I mail chocolate to Darinka and Celeste.

I enjoy the afternoon in conversation with Heather while a super soaker downpour occurs.

Pat, Jerri and I take a taxi to Greg’s place where the Valentines Party is. The place has a great view of the valley. I get a tour. It’s quite the place. Some delicious pot luck food. I dance. The three of us take a taxi back to our homes.

It’s starting to feel like investing in Bitcoin is like buying microsoft or apple shares when they first came on the market.

Estimated US money supply in 2009 was 8 trillion. 

8,000,000,000,000 divided by total possible bitcoins 21,000,000 = 380,952 per bitcoin.

Article about Coinbase.com (making buying and selling bitcoins easy using a U.S. bank account) and the founder http://joecascio.net/joecblog/2012/11/30/coinbase-com-finally-a-simple-cheap-way-to-buy-bitcoin/

Investing is mathematics. Gain or loss measures demand for productivity or resources over time (people, places and things). Risk is a measure of trust. Math is the intellectual component and trust is the emotional component.  Financial ethics is the perception of benefit or harm of human endeavours.

I enjoy lunch and nourishing conversation at Jardin Escondido with Ginna.

There is rapid price drop in bitcoin as I am watching episode 7 of Touch. This assists me in discovering new aspects of buying and selling bitcoins.

My dream interpretation:

The full potency of my masculine power is exposed in public when approached by authority. 

Other thoughts:

Life expresses itself in patterns with infinite variations within the pattern. The human form is one of these patterns.

Numbers is the human form of relating to life. Numbers are universal. Numbers are used to “program” life (energy). We see computers used to express (calculate) numbers to manipulate energy into perceived visual and auditory forms like video and music. This is referred to as virtual reality.

Numbers have been used to send rockets into space, facilitate global communication and conduct the exchange of goods & services.

In the Matrix movie Neo ends up seeing the “numbers” and is able to interact with life in a whole new (Neo) way.

I visit with Pat.

Bitcoin now $25 USD each. New milestone.

Mostly work.

My interpretation of E=MC2:

same as Energy = Matter x Constant x Constant

same as Life = Form x Change x Change

same as Life = Form x Infinite Change

same as Life experiences itself as infinitely changing form

There are two operating systems that run programs. The IS system runs ANY program without judgement of outcome. The being running the IS system experiences the outcome and makes discoveries. The IS being is open to ALL experiences and experiences constant infinite change. The other system is the GOOD / BAD system that runs ALL programs. The being running the GOOD / BAD system experiences the outcome and accepts the outcomes judged as GOOD and denies the outcome judged as BAD. The GOOD / BAD being is OPEN only to GOOD experiences and experiences minimal change.

Human languages are programming languages. Using English as an example. A being with the IS system will hear the statement “Beautiful Jane performed a terrible dance routine” as “Jane performed a dance routine” by ignoring all adjectives and adverbs. A being running the GOOD / BAD system will emphasize the “Beautiful” and minimize or ignore “terrible”. The latter system will create a JOY / FEAR emotional charge.

Ideas, concepts and beliefs are programs that filter life experiences / discoveries. Repeatable, shared experiences / discoveries become behaviours resulting in facts.

Of course all the above can be considered an idea, concept or belief.

I can hear all the carnival festivities going on in town from my porch / livingroom / office as I work all day.

One Billion Rising video put together by Cliff and Galina. Cudos to them and the dancers too.

I wake up with some ideas about selling bitcoins and implement them.

Sunny day. I can watch the events in the playing field taking place for carnival right from my veranda. I can also hear the music clearly.

I make 4 trays of almond chocolate. I also make a small test batch of cacao butter, coconut oil, fresh vanilla beans and rose oil creme. Great for massaging.

Renata and I attend Mama Silvia’s birthday celebration. I enjoy a brief conversation with Mark.

The rain is pouring down in intense straight down bursts. I love the sound.

I sit with a newly arrived man from Vancouver at the Juice Factory. The rain has disappeared and the Carnival festivities begin to unfold with water balloons being thrown and foam being sprayed. Merchants are set up to sell wares and food. 

I join Galen at Pura Vida as he enjoys his lunch.

The parade starts Vilcabamba time … meaning an hour later than clock time. The village square is packed and from my vantage point the floats pass right by me. I like how simple life is here.

I get sprayed with foam on my way home by a drive by foamer.

I research alternative currencies while eating my freshly made popcorn.

I watch season 1 episode 1 of the TV show Touch starring Kiefer Sutherland. Wow!

I wake to the sound of rain. It’s my cue to lie in bed.

I walk to Chaska’s and pick up a jar of the super honey.

I pass out chocolate to all the people and kids gathered infront of the church saying hello to the birthday boy Ambrose.

I drop off chocolate for Bernie.

I share some time with Trina.

I pick up a copy of the video shown on French TV about longevity in Vilcabamba from Kathy and Ed. There is a split second of Pat and I sitting at the Juice Factory. Watch it here http://lovegrows.ca/vilcatv.html.

I complete some work.

Out of alignment conversation turn arounds:

If the person is talking about something other than themselves. Ask them “how does that affect you?”

If the person is suggesting someone other than themselves “to do something”. Ask them “what are you doing about it?”

If the person uses the term “we” when suggesting “to do something”. Ask them “why are you including me?”
