iPad Pro (2nd Generation) 12.9 Inch with Apple Pencil

I love the idea of being able to create diagrams and brainstorm ideas with a large iPad and a pencil as part of Compass. It has a beautiful, bright display and being a Pro model, is lightning fast.

Hiking in The Budawang

The highlight was going for a swim in a beautiful, large creek. We all sat on a submerged rock in the middle of the creek when Michelle suddenly said "Oooh snake!!" A red-bellied black snake was swimming directly towards us. Always the calmest one, Michelle said "Keep still everyone." And indeed, it swam past us but with less than half a metre to spare. It was beautiful. Only once it swam by did we realise that Michelle was sitting behind us and would have been the last to get bitten! Ha ha. But seriously, sitting still was the right thing to do and it was a wonderful sight. Such grace in the water.

Mystical experience: There is nothing but God. It's all God, Godding.

I was driving past Milson's Point train station in Sydney, quite close to home. There were a number of people walking along the side-walk. I saw them and felt love. A powerful and sudden gnosis (an indisputable intuitive knowing beyond words) arose in me that each person was God. Each person was God having a human experience. God was looking out into the world through each person's eyes. Everyone was God. Everything was God. There was nothing but God. There was nothing but God Godding.

This mystical state and knowing lasted for several days. There was an immense sense of oneness, connectedness, wonder, peace, love and euphoria. Also, my mind felt it was more connected to universal intelligence than usual. There were a series of deep insights and revelations. There was deep mental clarity.

In the midst of this, I met up with Aimee at The Botanica. There was a beautiful sharing of insights. At times, as I shared, I felt such love and wonder that tears streamed from my eyes.

I went to 5 Rhythms Dancing. Deep insights kept arising and I kept going off to write them down on my phone.

In the days following this experience, I felt inspired to write essays entitled "Life is God's experience" and "Why would God choose to experience objective experience?" The words just flowed through me.

I also started collecting quotes on the topic "Life is God's experience" for Wisdom Trove. This reached its climax in Mauritius.

Synchronicity: "It's like a movie, right?"

I was walking to the post office in North Sydney. As I walked down the Princes Highway, my mind turned to my favourite metaphor; "Life is God's movie." I had some beautiful thoughts about how relevant this metaphor is and how life feels just like a movie."

As I neared the post office, a man and a woman walked past me. At the very moment they passed me, I heard the guys saying "It's like a movie, right?" There is absolutely no way I imagined this. I heard it so very clearly.

A sense of wonder at the synchronicity arose in me. Life felt dream-like and pregnant with meaning.
