                 (Karra and I work on the
                            concept of a center for awareness and along
                            with that is Karra’s vision of all people,
                            regardless of differences coming together in
                            growth and unity. First to begin as a
                            website and morphing into a physical center,
                            the first half has been completed with the
                            next phase one reality away.)
 
 
 Karra: hello.
 
 Russ: good
                                          evening Karra.
 
 Karra:
                                          greetings, greetings Johnny,
                                          greetings…..
 
 John: hi Karra,
                                          how you doing?
 
 Karra: I’m
                                          doing fine, or at least I
                                          think I’m doing fine.
 
 Russ: you're
                                          doing fine darling.
 
 Karra: well as
                                          we got to yes, I’m doing fine.
 
 Russ: I’m doing
                                          good, you’re doing good.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: mentally
                                          anyway.
 
 Karra: yes,
                                          mentally.
 
 Russ: all
                                          right, so anyway, got this bug
                                          in my head now we have to
                                          figure out what to do with it.
                                          Where would…..this would be
                                          something that would have to
                                          be nonprofit as we discussed.
 
 Karra: uh-huh,
                                          yes?
 
 Russ: and able
                                          to be encouraged and
                                          advertised on a scale that
                                          would not be expensive due to
                                          the nonprofit......
 
 Karra: uh-huh,
                                          yes it’s something that would
                                          be useful as a trade skill.
 
 Russ: good
                                          point.
 
 Karra: uh-huh
                                          but yes, as a trade center,
                                          most certainly that it would
                                          be beneficial that you could
                                          use that as a tool for making
                                          contacts and getting together.
                                          Let us say you use this abode
                                          as the center, even though
                                          that you will hopefully have
                                          lots of food and say, “okay
                                          let’s get together and we'll
                                          sit down and do some
                                          experimentation and learning
                                          and teaching, bring some food
                                          with you so that we can sit
                                          down and have some nourishment
                                          whilst we’re doing this."
 
 Russ: right,
                                          great idea. And yeah, like
                                          Omal said, getting the
                                          contacts now….
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: will
                                          allow it to be expanded later
                                          on as the need arose.
 
 Karra: correct
                                          and we will be able to tug on
                                          those strings as he put it and
                                          pull them together at the
                                          appropriate time hopefully.
 
 Russ: right.
 
 Karra: but….
 
 Russ: right.
                                          You could weave in and out
                                          those folks who work and those
                                          who didn’t by that point.
 
 Karra:
                                          hopefully yes.
 
 Russ: and the
                                          food supply would never have
                                          to be an issue.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: just
                                          because it would be something
                                          nobody would know about.
 
 Karra: correct.
 
 Russ: okay, I
                                          like the idea.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
                                          Yes, it is something worth
                                          dwelling on.
 
 Russ: well like
                                          I say, like I told Omal, this
                                          is why I originally came here
                                          to Tahoe.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: this was
                                          a bug in my head, that’s what
                                          brought me here.
 
 Karra: yes.
 
 Russ: Sedona,
                                          which has a center for
                                          awareness next to the health
                                          food store….
 
 Karra: uh-uh.
 
 Russ: well I’m
                                          sure they…..
 
 Karra: I was
                                          about to say, it’s not there
                                          anymore.
 
 Russ: oh it’s
                                          not?
 
 John: no, no
                                          it's not in the same location.
 
 Russ: that was
                                          a great little center though.
                                          They had something where they
                                          would have gatherings,
                                          teachings, stuff like that. It
                                          really was encouraging, a lot
                                          of good vibes coming out of
                                          there.
 
 Karra: yes.
 
 Russ: and I
                                          want to see something similar
                                          as we really don’t have
                                          anything to work with like
                                          that.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
                                          No there isn’t anything really
                                          up here but it's developing.
                                          Things are starting to happen
                                          that are making the spiritual
                                          development occur but it’s not
                                          happening in such a tight
                                          location, it’s happening in
                                          South Lake Tahoe, Myers,
                                          Carson City, Walker Indian
                                          Reservation, Pyramid Indian
                                          Reservation, Reno,
                                          Gardnerville and it is spread
                                          out over a much wider area
                                          over a much more varied
                                          terrain that is developing a
                                          spiritual awareness over a
                                          wider cross-section of people.
                                          It is no longer, I believe Tia
                                          put it the fringe element, it
                                          is now becoming pervasive
                                          throughout all levels of
                                          society.
 
 Russ: that’s
                                          true, we’ve been here seven
                                          years, four years in this
                                          house…..
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: and we've
                                          see the changes happening.
 
 Karra: yes. You
                                          have gone from Bethany....
 
 Russ: uh-huh.
 
 Karra: being
                                          the novice wanting to learn to
                                          Bethany the teacher.
 
 Russ: she has a
                                          webpage, I didn’t get a chance
                                          to see it but have you seen
                                          it?
 
 Karra: no I
                                          haven’t. Tia has, Tia is
                                          relaying the information to
                                          me.
 
 Russ: oh okay.
 
 Karra: and it’s
                                          a development of no longer is
                                          it the bare-footed, hippie
                                          element but it is now the suit
                                          clad, long-haired, biker,
                                          mathematician, engineer,
                                          microbiologist, astrophysicist
                                          person that has pulled
                                          everything together into a
                                          wide cross-section that can
                                          get along and learn together.
                                          You still have and as has been
                                          described, the lunatic
                                          fringe….
 
 Russ: uh-huh.
 
 Karra: which is
                                          out there. But you have a
                                          majority that have the belief
                                          and a spiritual understanding
                                          and a love for all. And that
                                          working in a healing capacity
                                          is wonderful when you have a
                                          group of people all together.
                                          You have biker and a
                                          mathematician and a geologist
                                          and a robotisis and a
                                          microbiologist and a punk
                                          rocker all together in one
                                          room and you’re all sitting
                                          down in total agreement on the
                                          development of the mind and
                                          how it is developed. They all
                                          understand that for the
                                          astrophysicist is different
                                          from the biker. The punk
                                          rocker is different from the
                                          microbiologist. They’re all
                                          different but yet they're
                                          learning that their different
                                          points of views and their
                                          slightly different beliefs all
                                          work together to bring
                                          together to one item, the
                                          understanding and the
                                          spiritual awareness and the
                                          using their abilities to
                                          benefit the biker, the
                                          astrophysicist, the punk
                                          rocker, the microbiologist,
                                          the nurse, the doctor, the
                                          psychiatrist, the lift
                                          operator, altogether as one.
 
 Russ: uh-huh. I
                                          just had a thought….
 
 Karra: you sure
                                          it was your thought?
 
 Russ: we just
                                          had a thought.
 
 Karra: oh we
                                          now is it? I had a thought.
 
 Russ: okay,
                                          with Sarah having their little
                                          healing center going on and
                                          their little deal, this would
                                          make a nice little addition to
                                          that.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: to where
                                          if they have the space, we
                                          could just set it up in a side
                                          corner of that.
 
 Karra: well
                                          that is part of the framework
                                          that we were discussing, the
                                          links that will be pulled
                                          together at the appropriate
                                          time.
 
 Russ: right.
                                          They would see the benefit….
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: from
                                          attracting of a more larger
                                          gathering for them to work
                                          with and use their services.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: we’d see
                                          the benefit from having a
                                          naturally center for higher
                                          learning already available.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
                                          Can you check to see how much
                                          tape we have dear?
 
 Russ: sure
                                          love, half a tape.
 
 John: now am I
                                          correct that you two could
                                          communicate this whole
                                          conversation without
                                          verbalizing it?
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 Russ: we do
                                          communicate this whole
                                          conversation.
 
 Karra: this is
                                          only a little bit of the
                                          conversation.
 
 Russ: this is
                                          just going on all the
                                          time…..we just have to put it
                                          on tape so I can put it back
                                          on the web.
 
 Karra: uh-huh.
 
 John: right.
 
 Russ: yeah we
                                          got half a tape.
 
 Karra: okay
                                          yeah, there’s a lot of back
                                          play that goes on that spills
                                          out into vocalization.
