I want Peace on Earth

Diary 2008

Recuperation

Nov 9, 2007 Nimbin, New South Wales, Australia

Hello Dear David ! Thank you so much for worrying about me. How are you ? are you still in Brunei ? What a nice time I had there. I still have a beautiful piece of white coral on a string round my neck I found it on this magical tiny island we went on after your diving. It reminds me of that wonderful time in Borneo.

You're right, I'm in Australia right now. I landed in Cairns 3 Sept. after two month crossing Papua Nugini. It was an incredible journey there. I was really surprised still being alive after I had to cross the island from North to South in the deep jungle. The Divine was on my side, I had to suffer no injuries and no problem at all. It was only very tiring and food was missing, only a few nuts and some sweet potatoes for two weeks. At final I had to follow a furious river on a four logs raft my mate made with vines. It was a really powerfull experience.

In Australia I heard about a Rainbow Gathering holding close to Byron Bay, in the mountains, at the Washpool National Park. So beautiful Brothers and Sisters I met there. I met Love there too and Svea invited me in her home. I forgot everything, for sure. I even thought maybe giving up my Mission as I'm allowed to. I'm still balancing.

I was looking to write a bit of this incredible journey but till now I didn't found people who seem to be interested enough to help me for that. I don't know how to proceed. I'm used to walking forward, meeting ordinary people and getting the Worldwide Peace Petition signed. Do you remember the talk we had in your home with your Chinese diving instructor? Here, I feel I can only answer questions as I don't know what people are interested in. I will take a flight for New Zealand on Dec. 3rd from Melbourne. A few thousand K to hitchhike there and maybe a few interesting people to meet. I'm at the halfway stage of my journey and also at the half of the world tour I'm on. I'm close to the antipode of my birthplace, a wonderful feeling.

I wish you all the best David. It was a great thing to meet you. Peace Love and Light. Roland'O



Not a Nadir, Just a Hiccup

If Australia was a high, New Zealand was a low for Roland’o. He went there with Svea in December, intent on continuing his peace mission. But he arrived just too late to catch the window of opportunity to hitch a ride on a sailing yacht across the Pacific. Due to New Zealand’s high latitude, the window for cruising yachts heading north to depart is only a month or so wide (during November), as pleasure sailors don’t want to brave southern winter storms at sea, nor to run into summer tropical cyclones before they reach the nearest Pacific island, Samoa. The alternative of running the gauntlet of the roaring forties all the way to South America is only for dare-devils.

So his plan was upset, and so was his relationship with Svea. They returned to Australia, but separately. After a few aimless months alone in South Australia, Roland’o threw in the towel and flew home to Geneva in March. I received no news from him during this time; the story I relate is from Svea’s telling when I met her in Australia in June 2008. They were still in touch by Skype, but her news of his current condition was not good. Roland’o was very depressed; he had lost his love, lost his mission, and on top of all this, his relationship with his daughters had become strained.

I feared for his health, for his future. But even worse news was to come....

dear roland'o,

i just found out today from YouTube that on June 10 you were diagnosed with a lung tumour.

oh dear, what to say? if it is cancerous, and you are facing death, all i can think of is to tell you about something that happened to me in 1985. i was shipwrecked one night just off Newcastle, Australia. for what seemed like ages, i was been tumbled over and over under the water. i contemplated taking a breath of water to end it quickly. but a voice inside me said "hang on; you never know". so i did, and to my surprise my head eventually broke the surface.

for a while, i held out some hope of making it to shore, which was only a few hundred metres away. but the surf seemed to be heading me straight towards what i believed was a huge rock (in fact, it was the sea wall of Newcastle harbour). it was very tall, maybe 20 metres or so, and the waves were crashing into it. i was sure i would be dashed to death on that rock.

but no, the current somehow took me out to sea. as i was heading out, i realised that i was going to continue to go out, and would never be able to make it to dry land. so it was just a matter of time before the sea or one of its creatures took me. However, this certain knowledge did not cause any fear or anxiety in me; and i relaxed, just awaiting whatever was to happen.

but i was wrong. the current swept me out and around Newcastle harbour but later deposited me unconscious on a beach. My "second" life began the next day in a hospital ward (the Newcastle lighthouse keeper, having seen our navigation lights, had realised what was happening and had contacted the rescue services. The nurse told me my body temperature had dropped to 31 degrees; i later found out that one dies at 30 degrees.

i guess the point of this story is that death is nothing to be afraid of. and achieving the goals that we set ourselves (including living longer than fate intends) is not the way to enjoy what life we do have. rather, enjoying each little pleasure that comes along is better than walking around with a heavy heart wishing that history (including the present and the anticipated future) could have been different. meeting you and listening to what you had to say was one of my greatest pleasures.

if fate has decided your time has come, please do try to find a way to accept it. under water, my survival instincts took over and kept me from ending it by my own hand. later, in the sea, cold and certain in my mind of no hope of rescue, i found peace in the face of death by simply choosing not to fight for life. you can do the same. if Nature decides to give you a second chance too, all the better. but if it doesn't, please know from my experience that death holds nothing to fear.

Aug 16, 2008 Geneva

Hi David,

Beautiful story you wrote to me, you were very lucky to survive the hungry Ocean. I am sorry to disappoint you, I am not going to die either. Not now.

Beginning 2000 I had several strong visions. In one of them, I "saw" that I am going to spend the last 30 years of my life meditating in a cave, probably in India. I will just cease to breathe, not realizing death is taking me. I was also "told" that this will happen at the end of the 21st century when I will be about 130 years old. That gives me the chance not being afraid to die. If it happens, I will then consider that my visions were wrong, Ooops ! When I first was shown the spot in my lungs on the X-ray I was very troubled. Not about cancer or such thing. This would only be another test to grow over and a self healing effort.

I was troubled because it was following a vision I had October 2007 at the Rainbow Gathering in the Washpool National Park in NSW. Nathalie was giving a workshop about delivering from the heart. She wanted me to be there as she wanted to use my work as an example of what is possible when you speak from your heart and not from your mind. The workshop was very interesting and was followed by a small group meditation. Nathalie guided us towards the source of Love we have in our chest. For the first time of my life I went to see what was there. I was always afraid before and just did as it was normal. But now I went there and could see the source.

What I saw was really incredible. The thing was like a sun shining strongly in my chest. Like an atomic bomb perpetually exploding. An energy which could not be stopped by any way. A power who just wants to expand more and more. The Love in us just wants to spread away and is able to cover all the living being on our planet, the planet itself and even the entire universe.

So, imagine when a few month later I realized that the thing was so powerful now that I could see it for real on the X-ray. The doctors couldn't say what it was so we went for more analysis. I was scanned a first time : The nodule is about 2,5cm wide, quite round and firm. It is not eating around and is connected to nothing. The doctors first thought it was a mushroom coming from Mexico. Something like a truffle, you know, the exceptionally delicious mushroom you can have in some dishes.

I was in Mexico at the end of 1999. I just started my personal quest. In the desert of Zacateca I had the chance to meet some locals who introduced me to the cactus Peyotl. This looks like an apple. It is quite difficult to find as it is buried in the sand and only the top is visible. You must cut the head of it, peal it carefully, remove all the little thorns, and eat seven cactus.

Oh, it tasted ugly ! You must chew the flesh until only paste stays in your mouth. So you chew and chew this nauseus cactus endlessly... I can tell you you are not in a hurry to find the next one. I could eat four only and only wanted them out of my stomach. At that time I had an old vehicle so we drove to a little pueblo where an old woman hosted us. She gave us food and guided to some rooms in the backyard where we could rest.

We were not the first people to trip in these rooms, the wall were all painted or tagged with wonderful patterns or colors. Mainly patterns with snakes and dragons swirling and moving around. Her son came later. He had a four days walk through the desert. The Indian carried a big bag full of Peotl he collected on the way. He asked to help him to peal the heads. He was about to dry them and transform the flesh in a sort of brown powder which is raw mescaline. I certainly didn't chew the cactus enough. Or maybe I missed some little thorns. My stomach wanted me to bring all this shit out. I went behind the bushes. I felt much much better after that. By walking in the desert, the Indian also found a meteorite. A small metallic black stone, not bigger than a date and quite heavy. He told me these things often fall in the desert and he sells them a fortune. After that he gave me some brown powder. He told me to drop saliva and mix with my finger until it becomes like a ball in my hand. I swallowed the ball and started to trip.

Absolutely beautiful hallucination with very strong impression. Many snakes and lizards moving around. Deep thoughts. The strange feeling not being high but really deep into myself. And than came the revelation. I had a very precise view of my thoughts. The vision brought me very close to the skin of the snake. Actually it was more looking like the skin of a snail. It was moving forwards and if I wanted I could stop it to have a closer look. It was really amazing. I realized I could stop the flow of the skin so I COULD STOP THE FLOW OF MY THOUGHTS ! For me it was a real shift in my life as I was obsessed by the continual spinning of ideas. Now I could simply stop the thing and go in.

From then on I could go into my brain and get the information I need in a fraction of a second.

The next day we had an incredible conversation. The Indian was there and also Paolo, a Mexican painter who brought me there. We all spoke a different language. We all spoke our own language, Zacatl, Spanish, French, and could understand each other. We spoke about children and learning. We were discussing about the knowledge and how great it will be when every human being will have access to the knowledge.

When I left Real-de-Quatorce, somewhere in Central North Mexico, I was not the same anymore. I felt very light. I met and Indian girl from Chile. She was nineteen years old and was already a very strong woman. She was beautiful and acted like a Queen. Everybody obeyed spontaneously to her. So did I. She needed an Angel to drive her out of the country very quickly as her Visa delay went short. I planed to visit Guatemala so we could road trip together. Believe me or not, I never touched Francisca. She treated me like an Angel and I felt like an Angel. I had no desire for her and she never showed me any displaced attitude. Every thing was perfectly balanced. Magic started to happen. We needed something it just appeared from nowhere. The car had no brakes and no lights and we drove day and night. We received gifts and had the trunk full of Acapulco Gold. We crossed forbidden zones and the soldiers wished us good luck. We were offered breakfast by the dangerous thieves.

Once in Guatemala we took the time to let the car repaired. We found a garage at the 9th avenue and the 11th street. Fransisca was tired so I left her with the car and went to the post office to send some gifts to my daughters. I more or less remembered where the office was as I came here twelve years ago and couldn't forget the amazing building with the typical xylophone orchestra in the patio. It wasn't exactly where I thought. I few roads more on the left and a bit more to the South. Easy. I found it, sent the parcel... and went back, there was no orchestra in the lobby anymore.

But at the Avenida 9 Calle 11 there was no garage. I tried Avenida 11 Calle 9, but it wasn't there either. I was lost. The day was about to end and all the shop and little merchants were removing their stuff, so all the markers I could remember disappeared. For the first time of my life I was lost, I was geographically lost. The numbers I noted were wrong. All my stuff was in the car. I even didn't had any ID on me. The girl was waiting for me and I couldn't find her.

The dark came. Everybody knows that Guatemala City by night is the most dangerous place to be. The crime is everywhere and because the terrible 30 years war just ended, all the resentment made the criminals crazy. I jumped in a taxi, hoping that the driver would know the place. Unfortunately the driver was an Indian who just landed in town and even couldn't understand the few Spanish words I knew. So we turned around for an hour or so and we finally found the gate of the garage.

The Chilean girl was really worry about be. She didn't know nothing about me and where I was and the garage was about to close. She shouted to me, crying a bit. But everything was fine, the brakes were fixed and we drove all the night through and arrived at Tikal the next day.

I left Francisca a few days later with her family in Playa del Carmen, they hold a restaurant there, and went back to my personal quest again. Something was calling me to the archeological site called Palenque, in the Chiappas. I was there already and I knew something was going to happen there. We were about to end the year 1999 and I dreamed to start the new millenium on the Templo del Sol.

On the hidden path to the temples you can hear some voices whispering "hongos! hongos!". Indians had some mushrooms for sell. I took magic mushrooms for three weeks everyday. Some days I ate seven in a row and other days only one or two. I went to the Mayan site, celebrating the hallucinations who brought me to the time of glory of that place. This was a holy place where the Maya studied the stars. On day they gathered in between the pyramids, a large crowd was listening to somebody telling them not to be afraid. People were wearing white robes and colorful flowers and feathers on their heads. I was wearing some large golden bracelets.

The Mayan Elite seems to disappear at about 942 our time and left a calendar who says the time will end the 21st December 2012.

Mostly I went swimming in the rain forest, following the cascades upstream and feeling the one with all, climbing hills which were undiscovered pyramids, shouting with the lion monkeys and dancing with the butterflies. On the 4th of January I was on a cascade, trancing high when I was suddenly catched in a vortex who leaded me high to the Light. I found myself in the wide bright white Light. I was very surprised to see nothing but white around me. No noise, no voice, no conversation with God, nothing, absolutely nothing but pure white emptiness.

Nothing at all but a very strong feeling to be loved. The kind of love you must have received in you mothers womb, do you remember ?

Strangely I realized that only half of my body was in the light. It meant that I was not dying or so and that I could choose to go back to life. I felt the place was not attractive enough for me now so I told I want to live further and love human for real. I promised I will obey to everything what will be ordered to me. I accepted the divine domination and surrendered to it fully.

When I was on the rocks again I was really choked. There was blood in my hands. I was bleeding from the fingertips. I first thought I was not waterproof anymore, I would melt into the All. Maybe I went too far already. I was quite afraid I must admit. All this was very confusing. Was I still alive, was I halfway through ? No, everything was fine, I felt little pain on my fingers because I was holding the rocks very strongly not because of some mystical transformation. I had also numbers in my mind, which didn't mean nothing to me. The numbers 1 and 5, one above five, like one fifth. And the date 28 December 2012. As the famous date was the 21st I didn't know what to do with these informations.

So I shouted to the sky : And so what ? and the answer came immediately : I know All. In French, Je sais Tout! ! I KNOW ALL !

Why did I start to tell you about this... Yes, because of death. Dying at 130 years old. Knowing it. No fear to die. The spot in my chest, no worries. The source of Love. Technology. 21st Century. Knowing. Faith. Love.

The answer is Love. Do you know that, David, the answer is always : Love. Sometimes also 42, for sure, but Love comes always first. I mean, loving. The energy who comes out from you towards someone else.

Svea is the Queen the King in me belongs to. There is love for her in me and there is love for me in her. Love is sacred.

By the way ! I had another Scanner at the University Hospital in Geneva. There are only two of these new machines in Europe. They give you pictures with an incredible precision. Man is able to know the component of a star 40 years far from Earth so can we now look into the very small in us. I was wondering who am I, I have now a transparent view of every cells in my body. And I gave up the idea of intimacy so I publish the pictures shamelessly on Internet, even if I only have a little penis. have a look !

And remember the date December 28th 2012 ! On that day One Billion Five Million Human beings will share Peace with each other. Planetary Armistice. One Fifth of all of us. All weapon on the ground, cease of all fights. Critical mass will be obtained. We already won. Conscience will definitely raise in our species and we will be able to build Peace on Earth.

Soon we will be 10,000,000,000 !

Peace Love and Light

So Roland'o was less troubled by his tumour than i had been for him. But i didn't hear any more from him and figured he must have given up on his quest to save the world by bringing everyone his peace message. However, i was mistaken:

Dec 21, 2008 Egypt

Hello David !

How are you over there in Brunei ?

Sorry I was silent these last month, I was quite busy on the road. Last Equinox I started a journey towards the Southern Cape of Africa. Three months to cross Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Israel.

There was a Rainbow Gathering so I stood 40 days in the Negev desert (does it remind you something ?) I made peace with all temptations :) After that I made a quick tour of the holy land and had a short stop over in Jerusalem where I tried to enter the Temple square. Heavily armoured soldiers prevented me so I wasn't able to meet with the merchants there. After that I had a bath on the Dead Sea which is still dying and loses 1 meter of water per year.

My opinion about the country is not good at all. I see no solution for Peace. Jews are gathering there from all the world and soon they will all be together is that trap. The atmosphere is horrible and paranoia is everywhere. Individually I met beautiful hearts but the brainwashing has ravaged the hope for peace.

I was happy to step in Sinai and be among warm-hearted people again. Things became much more easy again. I waited for some friends to join me for a caravan to Ethiopia but nobody came. It seems that most of them are scared. From what, I don't know. Rumors only, everything is fine. After a few days on the coast where I could see the incredible beauty of the reef with a Latvian diving instructor. I climbed Mount Musa by full moon and could watch the sunrise with a crowd of Russian tourists.

I was very happy to walk in the desert again and a few trucks drop me in Suez. The last driver was really crazy. He looked like my father, smoked a lot and drove so fast that I was afraid the 30 tons of kerosene will crash us in every turns as he drove more than 100km per hour even in the mountains. But again I remembered a famous sentence which says: "What is Faith for if you fear danger ?".

Hitch-hiking is cool in Egypt and I was soon in the capital. Yesterday I went to see the Pyramids. I was a bit late at the entrance, so I only could watch them from afar but I still realized their marvel. I took some pictures from a famous pizza restaurant in front of the gate. Tomorow I will leave the city and follow up the river Nile until Abu Simbel. From there I will find a feluka to drop me in Wadi Halfa, the first town in Sudan. Sounds good, Hey ?

I am very amused about the current financial disaster. The System is now out of balance. Hopefully no one will take silly decisions.

About the last video i posted on YouTube : it was taken in 2004 in La Mancha in Spain. I was very surprised to discover it had been broadcast on Spanish television. I wanted also to upload a video taken in Istanbul but couldn't find it in my stuff left in Geneva.

Greetings David and happy new year and everything ! Peace inside and all around you

Roland'O
