During my overseas travels throughout the years—especially within areas that include locals who could use some Soul reminders—I’ve been doing my best to share Full Presence Self/self’s:
attention, active listening ears, soulful eye contact, Light Frequency, Unconditional Love Frequency..
encouragement, upliftment (to include humor), empowerment, inspiration, and other multidimensional gifts.
And in return, I’ve been able to receive some of Life’s most precious and invaluable experiences / Divine gifts—some uncommon, BIG hearted Souls of so-called “common” local people.
This is similar to what I had wrote about many years ago, “The Beauty Within the So-Called Unbeautiful.”
Recently, while celebrating New Moon evening/night at the beach, a young gentleman Server approached to take my order.
He’s a very bright and magnetic Soul who’s so genuinely kind, authentic, refreshingly honest, mentally and emotionally intelligent, motivated, self-studied, and has BIG dreams.
I asked, and he stated that his name is Theon, and added that it’s just like the character from the famous TV show, Game of Thrones.
I later looked it up, since it had been a while since I saw this TV show—that I didn’t finish the last episode of, but maybe will in the future—and I saw that this character, despite some of his negative qualities, just wanted to be loved (a great reminder of what I chose to share with him, Unconditional Love).
This also instantly reminded me of a previous blog page I recently shared, where this stranger just wanted to be loved as well.
However, in these situations, I chose to Unconditionally Love Self/self (with healthy boundaries) more, over loving another, due to many red flags.
Theon was so proud of himself because he had never worked at a 3 or 4 star hotel before, but was instantly hired, and then soon promoted to Guest Relations thanks to a customer complimenting him to his Manager.
This is the main reason why I shared a 5 star review, to share with the world his other wonderful qualities, strengths, and Full-Potential (since he’s one of those rare gems who goes above and beyond, just because that’s WHO HE IS).
I even mentioned the rest of the staff since they were very professional, super friendly, and overall very wonderful as a team.
We had a detailed conversation, since he, too, speaks English very well, that he mostly learned from watching cartoons and anime.
I shared that there’s an abundance of information online, that we can learn so much with discernment.
Plus, many successful, rich and even wealthy people know the VALUE of GREAT POTENTIAL within a person, that doesn’t require college degrees;
and he, too, was aware of people like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and others who didn’t see the need for formal education.
He shared many interesting stories about his life, and the life of many locals in Vietnam.
At one point, he did share a deeply moving story in such an authentic and free-spirited manner, without any degree of ego’s filter, embarrassment, guilt, or shame (simply PURE/WHOLE like an innocent child).
He said that whenever customers wouldn’t finish their meals (which apparently happened frequently), the staff would enjoy the leftovers, because most of the time, they had a chance to experience foods they had never tried before.
So when I placed my first order, a margherita pizza (that was very delicious), I asked for an additional plate.
Even though he initially resisted, I placed most of the pizza on the extra place—with 4 slices that was more than enough for me—and playfully ordered for them to each enjoy one.
He became teary-eyed, and stated that I was the kindest person he had ever met, which was deeply heartfelt, and I thanked him for sharing such generously kind words.
It made me happy that he later told me that they all got excited about trying the fresh and hot pizza, since they were used to only eating cold leftovers.
Theon is already a True Leader as well—at such a young age, that even many older men within this world cannot match—since I asked, and he had eaten a small piece of the pizza, and chose to allow the rest of the Servers and Bartender to enjoy the rest.
During my Army days, this is what True Leaders did for our Soldiers—ensuring they had a chance to eat first—whether out during freezing cold or…
scorching hot field exercises in mountains, or at squad, platoon, or company,
pot luck or restaurant gatherings during off time; hence, much respect for this loyal way of Being.
So I shared a few other dishes as well—that he had recommended before sharing that story with me (of staff eating leftovers)—and jokingly demanded that he eat some too; and he chuckled and agreed.
I had never experienced sharing food with restaurant staff in this way before,
so I felt very grateful for this blessing for all involved, just another way of sharing uplifting abundance.
Even when I stay at hotels or Airbnb’s, I love treating Housekeeping staff with snacks, drinks, and cash tips,
which practically all respond with surprised facial expressions, teary eyes, verbal and non-verbal expressions of deep gratitude, and/or big smiles.
Recently, as I was walking by another Airbnb room in the apartment building, I noticed how sad the housekeeping lady appeared (who’s very kind, thoughtful, and is usually content appearing).
So I immediately went back to my room and made a big bag of goodies, to include an extra box of organic, drip coffee bags (since she enjoyed a hot cup I had made her over a week ago),
a cylinder container of Australian macadamia nuts, some Italian biscuit snacks popular in Vietnam, and a small sandwich baggie of Korea pear slices I had saved for her.
When I handed them to her, her WHOLE essence LIT UP, and she looked super JOYFUL, like a child on Christmas day.
She initially did her best not to accept it—like many polite Asians have a tendency to do—but I insisted like the stubborn-ass that I can be, and she thanked me while rapidly and gently patting me on the back like a mama bear.
Such Life moments are priceless treasures, and it’s a form of sharing LOVE that unlimited.
I don’t speak any Vietnamese, and she doesn’t speak any English; however, we’ve managed to communicate with non-verbal cues and tones.
Plus, I’ve learned throughout my life, that no matter where I travel to in this world, Unconditional Love—to include genuine kindness, compassion, empathy—that can be deeply FELT, doesn’t necessarily require verbal language.
Whenever I stay at hotels or Airbnb’s, I like to balance and harmonize between treating self and others.
So I like to receive weekly cleanings, but don’t require daily cleaning of my room, and especially not daily changes for bed sheets and towels (though I change the latter within 2-3 days at hotels).
Why? Because I don’t require this at home either, and it’s a waste of time, energy, efforts, and resources (like water and electricity).
However, IF I had an occasional day and/or night out in the dusty city, and depending how I feel, I would then ask for my bedding to be changed.
I’ve experienced a few times in the past—even at 4 or 5 star hotels—where I would walk by an opened room that was being cleaned—and it would appear as though a TORNADO went through it.
And I felt bad for the cleaning lady who had to deal with that, and wondered why anyone would feel the need to leave such an unnecessary, dramatic mess.
A while back, out of curiosity, I also read how very challenging Housekeeping jobs are,
where most of them go through a lot of pressure to quickly and thoroughly clean a large number of rooms within a tight timeframe.
Anyhoo, in my late thirties, my Korean mother shared a story that I had never heard of before, but was very grateful that she finally told me…
because it further confirmed why I intuitively knew to also be of service to Housekeepers, who could use some help.
When I was three years old, she married my American father who adopted me as part of the package deal.
In a nutshell, he (probably like many men from the past) promised her a comfortable life;
however COMMA when we arrived to the States, the truth was revealed about his true financial status;
and so she ended up working as housekeeper at a motel.
Even back in those mid-70’s days, housekeeping was a difficult job,
that even included dealing with various forms of pressure and filth (which I’ll leave up to your imagination).
And I have no doubt this caused an immense amount of STRESS for many within this and similar fields.
Anyhoo, I realized more than ever before, that part of my Life Purpose, Life Path, and Soul Missions,
include Being of Service to humanity and way beyond in such personal ways (face to face).
I realized that I actually love (directly) Being Loving and Generous in these and other ways,
rather than just giving donations to non-profit and trustworthy organizations (though those are great ways to share too).
Because being able to WITNESS others LIGHT UP right in front of you,
is TRULY a SOUL-IGNITING, DEEPLY HEARTEFLT, AMAZING, AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE.
Strangely, as much as I’ve looked forward to going on many tours, as I progress on this Life’s journey,
I noticed that I’ve become increasingly less interested in:
touristy events, usual foods I enjoyed, and many other common experiences of this world.
I’ve especially become very tired of many of this world’s distracting, outer noise,
to include YouTube video ads (that I’ve decided to no longer focus any attention to, by completely blocking out, since most have not been highly beneficial).
Recently, after two months on island, I felt like doing at least one tour out of curiosity.
And while following my inner guidance/intuition, and noticing our world signs from the Universe (Divine Synchronicity),
I chose one, which I wrote a 5 star review for today…
though it was more like a 3.5, IF compared to other tours I’ve been on throughout this world.
I gave this tour a 5 star rating mainly for the Tour Guide—since it would benefit him–and since it was an overall, invaluable experience.
I’ve also included an additional section of experiences I had—that I purposely didn’t include in this review—towards the end.
Title of Review: Invaluable Experiences Leading to Profound Wisdom
This tour was overall a pleasant experience (also see 13 photos [there was only space for 9 photos; so sharing the rest within this blog post, to include 2 additional ones related to a recent series of Divine Synchronicity that I’ve experienced]).
Thank you to my Tour Guide, [deleted full name] Tung, who arrived on time, speaks English very well, is a good conversationalist, and was very thoughtful:
For instance, I forgot my bathing suit on the counter of my Airbnb room,
and he insisted on turning the car around, and waited for me in such a genuinely friendly and comfortable manner.
Plus, Tung was a gentleman in opening and closing the car door for me throughout the entire day,
and was willing to be helpful in other ways
(like offering beverages, stopping by a supermarket, recommending restaurants and cafes, and other helpful information).
The following are some details of this tour that may help others reading this review (especially for awakening Old Souls):
Suoi Tranh Waterfall:
I enjoyed the waterfall destination that felt so refreshing;
however, the hike up there was challenging due to not having hiked in a while, and the path that was mainly all small to medium-size rocks.
When my tour guide noticed that I was struggling—due to slipping and falling once in the past while hiking in the US (which I later shared with Tung)–he came back
from a distance and helped me navigate most of the path while holding my hand.
As he stated, most young people—and even older people who are healthy and often exercise—will more than likely not have a
problem with this hike (like many of his former tourists).
Ho Quoc Temple:
This was my favorite place to visit since it was so peaceful, and I loved the pleasant scent of the incense burning within the
well-decorated, colorful temples, as well as the gorgeous and tranquil statues of the Bodhisattva (an extension of the Mother Goddess / Unconditional Love essence).
For whatever reason, other photos wont upload 🤷🏻♀️ (may try again another time).
Bai Tắm Sao:
This was a very well-kept, clean, white sand beach with turquoise colored water, that includes a very large, front section of the
beach that’s very shallow, perfect for young children to play in safely.
I also appreciated the beach being surrounded by much greenery, and not seeing any litter.
While immersed within the water of this beach, I thanked Mother Beach/Sea/Ocean/Nature/Earth for helping to DEEPLY HEAL all the severely traumatized,
as well as heartbroken Souls within this country and the rest of this world and beyond, to include the past prisoners of Coconut Prison (details below).
Phu Quoc Prison History Museum:
I was grateful that I had this invaluable, heartfelt experience, that helped me to deeply empathize with the Souls who had experienced much unfortunate,
INTENSE TRAUMAS in the past; NOBODY, NO LIFE FORM, NO SOUL—regardless of earthly labels (to include from what country)—deserves such severe, inhumane treatment.
I was able to further SEE (with CLARITY) other ways in which humanity had suffered throughout world history,
and that I have no doubt will expand our individual and Collective Consciousness.
Granted, I did REALIZE that ALL perceptions and perspectives within humanity are VALID,
and everyone throughout this world has their sides of the story.
And because I’ve recalled MANY earthly and otherworldly dreams for over 13 years (aka SOUL MEMORIES),
I also KNOW—from invaluable EXPERIENTIAL KNOWLEDGE/PROFOUND, LIVING WISDOM—that ALL Souls have
played the so-called “good” and “bad” characters throughout many
past/present/future lives (that can show up as parallel and alternate realities of various Universes).
And we are ALL a combination of many aspects of WHOLE Self/self (Non-physical Self and physical self).
And sometimes, one of the questions we can explore is, which came first, the chicken or the egg?
It’s almost impossible to tell most of the time
Plus, how does so-called karma play into all of this,
that may have occurred during alternate realities (so-called “past” lives of WHOLE Self/self).
And NOT karma as punishment from a Higher Power, but karma—both negative and positive versions—that teaches us Life Lessons, where we can gain PROFOUND WISDOM.
And ultimately, it doesn’t matter who started what, since there is NO solution for that limiting view.
The very popular, Collective, human BLAME GAME must one day come to an END; otherwise,
it will be never-ending CONFLICTS, BATTLES, WARS, and SUFFERING within both INNER and OUTER worlds.
Phu Quốc pearl farm, as well as the pepper farm were a good, one-time experience.
However, when I WITNESSED for the very first time, one of the pearl staff members presented a demonstration,
by taking out a fresh pearl from a live, moving oyster with a knife…
I realized that I don’t need such material gems that are taken from Mother Nature in such insensitive ways.
I prefer that these precious gems of Mother Earth remain within Nature.
Tung offered the longest cable car experience, but I checked in with Trinity within (I AM PRESENCE)—Spirit/Higher Heart/Goddess, Soul/Higher Mind/God & physical human body (Light Body)—including INTUITION, and didn’t FEEL like it; perhaps in the future.
Thank you 🙏, and may you experience the best of Life 🪷.
THE FOLLOWING SECTION NOT INCLUDED IN THIS REVIEW:
My Tour Guide was speed walking during the hike, to the point where he was way ahead of me.
I mentioned to him that I did my best to catch up with him,
but explained that it was my first time going on an upward hike where the path was all small to medium rocks, some of which were slippery.
I also added that he was able to maneuver very quickly and effortlessly since he does this often, almost daily; he agreed.
Also, at another point at the temple, he mentioned in an indirect manner that he was going to drop me off at the temple,
drive around and try to find a parking spot (that’s difficult to find),
but then return in 30 minutes to meet me at the entrance of the temple; and then he asked, “That’s enough time, right?”
I agreed, though it would’ve been nice to freely explore with additional time;
after all, I chose to skip the cable car part of the tour (of 2.5 hours or so)—that you pay extra for (that I didn’t mind if I felt like going).
I didn’t add this part to this review, because I’ve learned from various stories from the locals that life in Vietnam (for many)—similar to other struggling countries (to include Thailand)—are very challenging
(everyone, mostly poor, doing their best to make a living and get by).
However, though my Tour Guide offered, I wouldn’t go on another tour with him,
mainly because I wouldn’t want to someone to feel obligated to provide above and beyond service that I actually prefer (for a tour I paid for)—and have experienced at times in the past, throughout the world—which includes
the freedom to fully enjoy, rather than feel somewhat pressured due to time constraints.
It wasn’t that big of deal, because if it was, I did have the option to speak up,
and honestly tell him that I wanted more time at this place.
But the truth is, after he explained in a roundabout way how inconvenient it was
for him, I didn’t want to be a burden to someone what was thoughtful at times.
And like many within humanity, he had experienced much traumas, heartbreaks, poverty, extreme challenges, and suffering
(according to his and his family’s life stories that he shared);
hence, I had no desire to add any more heaviness.
So on the way back, I asked if he could stop by a local supermarket I usual shop at, that was enroute; and I bought fruit for myself plus him and his family to share—refreshing and sweet Korean pears…
that they had never tried before, as well as ripe and sweet mangos that are so delicious.
When I handed this to him after he dropped me off at my Airbnb place,
he appeared surprised, as he looked at me with soulful eyes and thanked me.
I also gave him a big, cash tip to show my further appreciation
(because it means a lot to them, even a couple of dollars if you don’t have much cash on you).
And many have responded with the same look as this Tour Guide, Tung,
which I’ve come to KNOW as a DEEP SOUL CONNECTION AS ONE.
The following are additional 2 ✌🏼photos related to the 111 angel number and signs 🪧 from the UNIVERSE (111 photo within navigation app in car, and the “Universe” sign on back of bus right in front of the car I was in;
part of this particular series of Divine Synchronicity mentioned in the profound wisdom gained from “psychopath energies” blog page mentioned above):
again, photos not uploading. Lol
