Numerous Breakthroughs at the Heart of AN : The ANvisible

Numerous Breakthroughs at the Heart of AN

jan 27 2016 in Blog by Solara

This past week has been full of sudden and unexpected breakthroughs.

After hearing rumors of a new fiber optic network in the Sacred Valley for five years, it’s finally here! And yesterday, our first fiber optic cable arrived at the Heart of AN. It will take another week or two to get everything working here, but we are very happy at the promise of a more reliable internet service. Internet is not cheap here and it will cost us around US $140 a month for 4Mb service, of which they contractually only promise us 20% of the 4Mb. They have higher speeds, but this is all we can afford right now. It still should be much better than what we’ve been using and it’s unlimited which is somewhat rare here!

A few days ago, heavy machinery, in the form of a caterpillar and a steam roller, unexpectedly appeared outside our gate to widen, and hopefully improve, the small dirt road that goes from the main road to our land. It was another surprising breakthrough!

The reorganization of our laundry / storage room is still in progress since we are doing it thoroughly, but we are nearing completion. It feels really good to get everything sorted and into its right position. Maybe we’ll have photos of it next week.

We’ve also nearly completed organizing the schedule of our Special Events at the Heart of AN. We will have Readers of the Cards Master Classes in April, May, July, September and October. Our big event is the CONCLAVE OF THE FAMILY OF AN (AN • The New Reality • Pachacuti) which will take place here from October 10 – 16. We really hope that many of you can come and be with us for this momentous event. The details of all these events will be online in a few days.

While all this is happening, we feel the New Reality so strongly here. Since the beginning of the New Year, it feels like we are living in a totally New World. Our land is super green and lush right now, emanating such a strong vitality of love and healing. From this exquisite vantage point of the Heart of AN, we send HUGE LOVE to our beloved Family of AN!

: Here’s an expanded view of the Heart of AN from the lower part of our land. The AN•Labyrinth will be located here, in front of the new building.

: Here’s my favorite painting of AN that I made well over twenty years ago. heart emoticon I would really love to make some more paintings one of these days….

: The mirror in our bedroom door reflects the stairs going up to the AN room.

: The temporary tent holding our building materials has finally been taken down and Eloy has begun to clean the area so we can create our AN•Labyrinth!

: A few days ago, we had another large rainbow which illuminated the pyramid shaped peak of a nearby mountain.

: Last week, large machines unexpectedly showed up and started widening our small dirt road.

: Local volunteer workers appeared and moved our rocks closer to the wall. We were asked to make a donation to help pay for the machine rental, which we happily did!

: This is what it looked like after the first pass of the caterpillar.

: Next, a steamroller arrived! Avelardo and Eloy wave at the driver with excitement.

: The Full Moon on the 23rd announced its arrival with a luminous rainbow cloud.

: Here it is! It’s interesting how the Full Moon always like to rise by these two trees on the nearby mountain ridge.

: Mysterious and so beautiful.

: Two years and 7 months ago, right before we bought this land, Emanáku sat under this tree with a laptop and a modem to see if we could get internet here on this land, and we could…. although it was not such a strong signal. heart emoticon So we immediately bought the land!

: After all this time, we just had a breakthrough! The Sacred Valley finally has fiber optic cables, and yesterday they were brought to the Heart of AN!

: Now, the challenge is to push the stiff fiber optic cable through our underground communication tubes. Today, Alfredo our electrician will arrive to help them do this. (The crew already has the assistance of Manzana!)
