Hi Johnny- You sure do find some
captivating news to report.
Shades of "Hotel California"! No kidding… after reading the news article and Destination Universitas Foundation information
the words to that long forgotten Eagles song are now playing in my head. :(
Take a look, it’s eerie.

Seriously, I found it very interesting that Donna Vassar has set up the "Foundation" with the SPECIFIC purpose of raising money for a SPECIFIC project which has first and foremost as it’s mission being that of “renewing global leaders” (that gives it a political “interest” IMO).
The building itself is called a SANCTUARY. The buildings architects have “travelled to study the life and architecture of Buddhist Dzongs (monasteries) in Bhutan and the Christian orthodox monasteries of Mount Athos and Meteora in Greece.” The “vision”
For the building is to be:
Part monastery
A place with “Contemplation Spaces”
Have “sanctuary tables”
all so that the leaders
“emerge - renewed, with clarity, and reflecting true
transformation” (These terms show it to be of a “religious” interest )
and then, in the “About Us” section of the "Destination Universitas Foundation" website it states, “The Foundation is free from political,
religious, or commercial interests.”
Clearly there IS a “SHIFT” taking place. This is a good example of a distinction being made between what is “religious” from what is ”spiritual” The “New Spirituality” is most definitely being warmly welcomed. "Such a lovely place … Such a lovely place…" -Rudi

Clever Rudi!!
Clever!!!!!!!


Eerie, Rudi!!
Scary Eerie!!

I get it.

Hotel California For 21st Century Leaders.

The theme of "shifting into transformational renewal" reminds me of the movie "Logan's Run".

I keep thinking one day the world will be lead into believing it's time for each of us to "Renew In Carousel".

The crystal in our hand will turn "Red" (maybe fiery red, maybe a fire in the crystal red) transmitting to us it's our turn to Renew in Carousel.

Rudi, like the theme in Orlando, FL at Walt Disney's Twilight Zone Tower Of Terror ride:

You Can Check In -
But You Can't Check Out!

At least, not as your old self.
