Cabo San Lucas. It's actually the Cape of Saint Luke but no matter.
Nice place all right.
Nowhere is an actual 'safe place' though really, is it? What are you going to do? Have a great life, let's say you even have a pile of cash too. And then what? Close your eyes and your mind to the rest of the whole entire world as it careens into dereliction.
This is not an easy conundrum.

We cannot seriously act as if as little individuals we are responsible for anything here on this great big planet - and I certainly do not propose that. Can we really 'withdraw' altogether? Maybe for a while. That could make sense too.
Inside Turkey, today, the government television channels are pushing heavy, heavy-duty militaristic and radical Islamic 'stories' about various caliphs and warriors of the past, and just plain air-brushing out genuine history and painting in a singular narrative.
...See, this guy's name is 'Khan.' It really is, Erdo-khan.
So, if Cabo San Lucas is sufficiently far away from Turkey, you should be all right as far as actual hot conflict goes. As far as the total mess that urban areas are mostly all experiencing around the globe, there is no escape from that.
Let us turn our minds to another 'cape of light.' Shroud of light, pillar, of light.
These things, these ideas, may be found in all cultures - but I am about to shock a few of the 'rich kids of Dubai' bruvvers who cum 'ere, in't? And read these miscreant, deviant scholar writings!
Islamic practitioners, would you believe, in certain discrete, rare, and hidden sections, have a closer set-up to the actual Christian New Testament worship structure, than you will find anywhere in Christianity, despite that some of the symbols and items exist there too - but are subverted from their real scriptural intended purpose.

So, as promised, I am going to disclose what goes on with the carefully selected people taken out to Joshua Tree and also to Arizona and I believe Virginia and one other place in California on the coast there, as well.
There are these tucked-away, mostly darkened halls, or rooms, in which at the moment there are hanging aerial silk cocoons. There are fountains in there; with running, as it were in fact leaping, gushing, water.
There is repetitive music. Indiscernible chanting.
As far as the Islamic 'secret circles' are concerned (zawiyah), the story is that those being guided by their 'turuq' who comes from a lineage (wali) just the same as you will find also, say, with Chinese martial arts systems - those students will experience 'phenomena' in particular the witnessing of 'the blue light' (bahra kudra). Although in fact the actual tariqa or individual murshid (adept leader) never says it is only a blue light, nevertheless in popular Muslim culture it is a blue light.
To some extent I personally think the uncertainty about the color is a touch of 'back-trading' here, because you can image if your super wealthy oil sheikh comes down and invites his way with big dollars - and then doesn't see the blue light! Eh boys? LOL - you won't miss out with me though; and I won't even charge you any money.
So the story generally tends to be 'oh, it depends on each individual, everything comes as is perfectly fit for that person at that time... Could be blue, might be violet, could be white, could be nothing at all.'
Doesn't depend on nuttin'. I will give you the 'bluish light.'
Still there is some concern that all turuq hold about the 'completeness' of the individual's internal emotional landscape in its capacity to open itself to kindness, generosity, safety - which is the point, anyway, of the water fountain. This is literally something people use to carry out various preparation rituals.
Now. Are you ready?
Now listen, stop thinking about the woman in the adjoining silk cocoon.
Sit down comfortably, lie down, or jump into the silk sack - whatever. Notwithstanding that I have not fully explained any of the preparation rituals, we shall have to let the guiding intelligences give some leeway there; who can expect any person in today's world to have this clean, clear, unselfish, non self-involved, calm, unperturbed brain-space??
Can you think about red soda? Cherry cola?
How about Fanta?
How about Pineapple Crush?
What about Lime Soda - you know, the authentic soda fountain one with real lime phosphate?
Do we have a blue soda drink? Can't exactly think of the name of one...
What about grape soda?
