The Reasons why I need a Nature Retreat

I have written about my retreat in previous posts and tried to set the scene of the place, touched on meditation, relaxation and mysticism, about the need for quiet and peace..etc..etc..but having given it more thought in why i find it necessary to 'top up' in this way I came up with the following theories... Surface thoughts hold no interest for me, as i believe them to be largely unproductive..I am talking of the realms of the chattering monkey mind..the fast moving, quicksilver chatter that comes hither and thither across the surface of the mind. This mind can flit about and get pulled this way and that, distracted by tv, distracted by billboards, by adverts, by other people, distracted by the hustle and bustle..when moving thru the system it acts functionally, as in driving or operating a computer, or multi tasking (yes, men do this too!)ok, so it gets involved in things, but its never going to be a peacefull sort of mind experience, so i need to get down deeper..to achieve this i need to be outside if possible, the inside of modern houses are just too noisy, and unless one has feng shuied the area, or planned their decor in such a way as to create quiet, then its still not going to allow the immersion in the peace necessary for the source force! So, outside it is..outside and alone, and away, and hidden, where the only sounds are natural ones, and where the eyes can slowly open, past the layers of selves/thoughts..to the peace...and why? why do i want to do this. well, after about 23 years of metaphysical study and experimenting, i realise i came here to remember how to be this way..this is me, its not a fad, a craze, a fashion..i am mystically minded..and thats that:) but there is more to the story...having been working along lines of shamanism/healing..etc for so, so long i want to come from a place within that is service to others and to the planet..so i untangle my knots, downsize my fears, exploree my shadows, find my mirrors, for what service am i if i am a dirty mirror, or a full time projectionist? so i explore, clear, share, realise and evolve.I see the ultimate human as someone that can sit within the space of any other on the planet and see where they are coming from..understand them, not judge them, or shower them with projections..if we are going to evolve from this point then some of us need to be doing work like this..its not for everyone, and it doesn't have to involve everyone..as i have said before in tweets, some cross barbed wire on behalf of the collective. but, its no big deal, we don't want medals, its who we are and what we do..so peace to all....and peace be ours
