September 25th: Holland had an afternoon appointment to get some more work completed under Betsy's hood 🚘; it had been stormy all night long & it was still stormy when he left ?☔️💨 The water & power had gone off during the early morning hours … I reset the microwave & brewed a pot of coffee with bottled water. The water, thankfully, began to flow again around 11 AM - but before Betsy's tires had even left the Resort grounds, the power had gone out, again: but, I didn't call Holland back 📱💬 - the work under Betsy's hood needed to be completed; and he'd be home before the real chill would settle over the area.
So: I got supper prep underway 👩🍳, sipped the remaining bit of coffee in my mug & touched down briefly on FB, visited online Blogger friends 💻🌐👭, read through chapters of my latest read 📖 … and waited the stormy weather out.
Some days you just have to be more flexible. Circumstances change, plans change, people change; you must be able to adapt to the changes - being flexible helps.
We are at a junction point in our personal life 🤔⚖️🙏: things are changing. Transitions 💎 are hard and change is uncomfortable 🚪, but we know what we want; and we're working on how to accomplish our wants into the necessary. In this new season of change, we remember that we have - personally & as a unified Team - made it through new beginnings and turning points before, and we can & will do it again this time. We believe in US & we know Yeshua has our back ❤️
All the changes: unexpected, unforeseen, unwanted - it’s all part of our story. The good and the bad, the happy and the sad; the highs and the lows … we just need to keep going through it all, be grateful for it all, & keep in mind that it's teaching us valuable, necessary lessons. #1 being that there IS always something good ahead 😘❤️
This Cussler-Fargo adventure background 📒🕵🏻✈️🗺️🏔️🗿, is set in Nepal, a hindu stronghold; so, I don't spend a lot of time sharing it's culture background in my review of this particular story. I mention the provinces & regions simply as a factual feature in Clive's novel to show that it is an actual location - and Clive's novels are always based on facts … loose facts, but nonetheless, facts.
Lo Manthang was the walled capital of the Kingdom of Lo from its founding in 1380 by Ame Pal who oversaw construction of the city wall and many of the still-standing structures. After the Shahs of Gorkha unified Nepal out of numerous petty kingdoms in the 18th century, Lo became a dependency but kept its hereditary rulers. This arrangement continued as long as Nepal remained a kingdom, until the country was declared a republic in 2008 - and Jigme Dorje Palbar Bista (r. 1964–2008) was stripped of his title. His suzerain King Gyanendra suffered the same fate (Gyanendra was only the eleventh Shah ruler since Prithvi Narayan Shah conquered Kathmandu in 1768); however Jigme Dorje Palbar Bista (1930–2016), who reigned as Lo Gyalpo from 1964 until the abolition of Nepal’s monarchy in 2008 - was the 25th ruler in an unbroken direct line of kings dating back to 1380 AD.
Jomsom Village, Nepal - also known as Dzongsam, is the main gateway to Upper Mustang & situated at an altitude of about 8,900 ft. The soaring peaks of Dhaulagiri and Nilgiri form a backdrop to the town straddling the Kali Gandaki River - which forms the deepest ravine in the world, which flows right through the center of Jomsom. The town is also the main hub for onward travel to Upper Mustang and Muktinath. A company of the Nepalese Army is stationed here.
Shangri-La is a fictional place in Tibet's Kunlun Mountains, described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by the British author James Hilton. Hilton portrays Shangri-La as a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. In the novel, the people who live in Shangri-La are almost immortal, living hundreds of years beyond the normal lifespan and only very slowly ageing in appearance. Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise, particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia – an enduringly happy land, isolated from the world.
How crazy if this line of thinking … & when you consider everything the nazis did - they did behave like unruly, unhinged, barbaric animals: nazism is a toxic blend of socialist, communist, & occult delusion, with direct link to luciferin religions, branded today as New Age, New Green Deal, New Dawn, Woke, ect. Today, in America, nazism is flourishing - pushed forward by the obamanites. The obama-demonrat party has officially lost touch with reality.
{{Tibet Nazi Connection
Before World War 2 ravaged Europe, and during the war, the Nazis spent a large amount of resources and manpower on their quest to establish the origins of their beloved Aryan Race. The institution founded to spearhead this endeavor, as well as all other manner of occult and esoteric studies, was the Ahnenerbe, started by Heinrich Himmler, in 1935. They conducted archaeological and cultural studies in a number of countries including Sweden, Finland, Iraq, Antarctica, Poland and, in particular, Tibet. The official story of the 3 expeditions sent to Tibet was to investigate the myth that an Aryan Race conquered most of Asia and the Himalayas many thousands of years ago. Some believe however they were searching for Shambhala, situated deep in the Himalayas, and hoping to harness the great power found deep within its realm, as told in many ancient texts . There is much evidence that The Nazis found something. After the fall of Berlin, soviet soldiers discovered hundreds of Tibetan Buddhist monks in SS uniforms, who seemed to have committed mass suicide. None of the bodies were able to be identified, thus it remains a total mystery as to how they got there, who they were and what they were up to. The Nazis found the time and necessary funds to transport transmitters to the furthest reaches of the Himalayas to maintain constant radio contact, which fuels the thesis they were on the brink of discovering something big or at least were certain they were heading in the right direction.
1930′s German Academic, Theodore Illion, describes in his work ‘Darkness over Tibet’ his elation at finding a hole the ground of the Tibetan Countryside and, upon entering, finding an underground city of monks. He learned they were ‘Black Yogis’, who aimed to control the world through astral projection and telepathy. His elation turned to horror when he discovered food that had been given to him by the monks contained human flesh. He made for his escape and was pursued by the monks across Tibet until he reached safety in his German homeland. His account came out in 1937, and, within a year of its publication, Hitler had sent his occult research wing forth to the mystical area Illion chronicled. It is suggested that Hitler’s objective was to establish contact with these obscure sorcerer monks. The route taken by the Ahnenerbe through Tibet emulated one taken by Aliester Crowley, and this, in turn, was copied by the OSS (the predecessor of the CIA) in 1942, in a highly secretive mission. The Tibet Nazi Connection is one of the most absorbing topics of the unexplained genre, and to this day its facts and true happenings remain shrouded in mystery.
The lost kingdom of Shambhala is known by several other names such as “Shangri-La” and “Agharta.” Travelers were fascinated by the Tibetan legends about an enlightened kingdom that disappeared because of the materialism of this age and become invisible. Legends say that only the pure of heart can live in Shambhala. Lost kingdom of Shambhala is protected by a psychic barrier so that no one can find the kingdom who is not meant to, and according to the Kalachakra tantra teachings, a line of enlightened kings is said to be guarding the spiritual secrets of Shambhala City. Many people searched Shambhala, including some of the most dangerous like Hitler and Madame Helena Blavatsky! Another report about shambhala was from Nikolai Roerich a Russian painter and ardent student of Theosophy. His group claimed to have located Shambhala in the Altai region. He believed that Altai Mountains are a great spiritual center, connected in some way with Shambhala. Unfortunately Roerich was connected with Helena Blavatsky, his wife, Helena, was the translator of Blavatsky’s The Secret Doctrine into Russian. So I cant take him seriously! As Helena Blavatsky is also connected with the lucis trust (Lucifer Trust)! So where is Shambhala? The answer is that no one knows. Numerous explorers and seekers attempted to locate Shambhala but no one could pinpoint its physical location on a map. The myths of Shambhala were part of the inspiration for the tale of Shangri-La told in the popular book Lost Horizon which today is also a pc game. Games like Lost Horizon and Uncharted 2 among thieves is another way to experience the secrets of Shambhala city.
Hitler was intrigued with the idea of Shambhala because some proto-Nazi organizations, such as the Ariosophists, speculated that Shambhalah was the birthplace of Aryan race. Heinrich Himmler was fascinated by Asian mysticism. Prompted by those beliefs, Germans sent an official expedition to Tibet between 1938 and 1939. Not only to collect data and artifacts that supported those views on Aryan lineage, but also substantiate rumors of Shambhalah’s existence. No one knows what Hitler’s expedition founded on Tibet but for sure their believes about Shambhala were slightly different from those of the Tibetans. Legends say that only the pure of heart can see Shambhala! Many people think that Nazis and shambhala are not connected, and that Nazis actually were in search for the mythical Yeti! In my opinion, they were looking for both.
Nazis Expeditions for Yeti:
Did you saw the (famous) movie with Brad Pitt in Seven Years in Tibet (1997)? This is a true story about the expeditions of the German Heinrich Harrer in Tibet. Ernst Schäfer, Heinrich Harrer, Hitler and the Nazis were interested in the Yeti during the 1930s, as mentioned in Christopher Gale’s Himmler’s Crusade: The True Story of the 1938 Nazi Expedition to Tibet. The Nazi’s 1938 expedition also included the anthropologist Bruno Beger. Beger is mostly recalled as having gathered and analyzed over three hundred skulls during the trek to prove that Tibet was the birthplace of a “Northern Race” (the Aryans). Many nazis they believed that the Aryans race came from the Yeti.

{{Eastern Orthodox missionary activity in Tibet is extremely limited and not linked to Besim Mala. Historical and contemporary reports show that Christian missionaries — including some Eastern Orthodox representatives — have occasionally operated on the Sino‑Tibetan border, often with Chinese government consent, but there is no documented case of an Orthodox priest named Besim Mala in this context. The available missionary activity in Tibet is generally associated with Protestant/Evangelical groups, not Orthodox clergy.
The claim that Besim Mala was an Eastern Orthodox priest sent to Tibet appears to be unfounded. The only verified information is that Besim Mala was a KLA commander in Kosovo, and there is no evidence of any Orthodox religious mission to Tibet involving him.
There is no evidence of a Arnost Deniv existence - nor a formal appointment, travel, or mission report linking this person to the Eastern Orthodox Church; or to Tibet.}}
Holland got back home, around 3 PM: power was still out 😒 - and would stay out until after 6 PM.
No one was answering the phone at the Resort Office 😑
When Holland tried the Resort ownership number 📱💬 - an automated voice 🗣️, that told him "your call is next in line". [Next], was answered by a girl in China, who said, "I certainly understand your problem sir. I am making a note of the issue & will refer it to the Office." She sounded like a nice girl, but, we are here in WA State in America - and she is in China 🤔: understanding & referrals are oceans apart 🤦🏻♀️
The Cowlitz PUD is "Closed on Fridays" 🤨 - the Toutle River RV Resort is located in Cowlitz County; today is Friday & the stormy feistiness was happening on a Friday, in a county that is staffed by nincompoops who don't understand the concept of work, personnel communication, or that the weekday 📅 holds 5 WORK Days 🤯 Friday is a Week Day - which anywhere else would compute that it is indeed a WORK Day. But, we are back in the PNW: and this is Cowlitz County 🤡
So, today, keeping with my Shabbat Island of Rest emotional, physical & spiritual reset 💫✡️☝️ ✝️; I shelved the frustration, deliberately engaged in low-key; moving through the remainder of the Day in slo-mo 🐢 I enjoyed a 2-hr. siesta period 🥱, entertained my relaxing mind 🧠 by watching old black-n-whites on YouTube 💻🎬 while I relaxed my body with rhythmic, soothing, crochet 🧶 … and spiritually glided right into the Sabbath’s Rest 😇🕊️🤲
