That Long Lunch

He’s now known as Arkand (http://www.arkand.com/) . This is his spiritual and commercial name at the same time. But I call him by his baptized name as I was introduced to him with this. He’s been in my life since 1999. That’s almost 8 years ago!! Time flies..

He’s the one who speed up my spiritual journey in certain period of times. Two years practicing Yoga, I was overwhelmed on the high awareness of my being and start to question every single thing, value and dogma around and inside me, and I was totally unprepared. Then I took a long break, make peace with my self and my surrounding, shift focus on another thing till now…

But even then, we still stay close enough. And it is amazing and fun to see how he evolves and grow. He’s kind of person whom you can talk anything about. Today, in three hours, we start our chat by he’s activities lately, various client for his Mahakala Shakti, Kopassus trainer, Timor Leste visits with details experience of witnessing the battlefield from close, his view on various religion, Indonesia religion history, Evolution of Bible, Vatican politics, his believe against Darwin evolution theory, till his latest culinary adventures and how he think of how things work for relationships, marriage (he believes that there should be no limitation in marriage in regards that we have imbalance gender population and everyone deserve the same chance to have legal formal marriage), affairs, child trafficking and prostitution. Btw, just a little bit background, he’s born in a strict Catholic family and has gone most of the preparation to be a priest. Indeed three hours is not enough to discuss things in deep, we just love to skim things and have fun with it.

Regardless of how I stand on his believes and values, He’s been a very good friend, brother and very understanding Yoga Master. Thanks for supporting and comforting me through the most difficult cycle in my journey. Although you can be very manipulative which makes me alert at most of the time we chat, but you’re so unbelievably entertaining. Hehehehe

Before I drag my writing further on you, let me say this, “Nice to have you in my life Bang!”

And I agree with you, the Chicken Teh Chow in Pastello is quite “Mak Nyussss!”
