Letter to Festival Community ，April 17,18

If my dear brother Rodrigo is Reading this letter to all of you now it means that I´m not with you in body but for sure in spirit.

Originally, I had hoped to do my usual workshop activities get some more treatment so I could carry on with my usual Global Work i.e in China,Lithuania, Ukraine, Russia and the USA and back to Colombia in the fall, for a special gathering with Gustavo Mutis, Peter Senge, two professors from Harvard and others. This was a time to explore new steps and social programs for Colombia. A most important event for the continuation of my Global Work and my newer contribution to Colombia. A kind of second wind you could say. But as we know we cannot always have things happen the way we want. This has been a painful regret for me because China and elsewhere represented a turning point for the many years of dedicated efforts towards the fulfilling of a longtime teaching of mine.

Nonetheless, in spite of it all I see that my coming to Colombia this time marks the end of my Global Work as I began my Global Journey in Colombia 25 years ago. Hence, I have close full circle representing the completion of the mission that began when I came to Cali from the Eastern Arctic to begin a journey that has taken me to 71 countries overtime. A journey that has taught me so much about life, death, dreams, needs, human nature and much more. I am grateful to life for bringing such an opportunity.

Now, this journey has come to its end and I have to learn to accept this, and find that his acceptance is also part o f the journey. No one lives forever at least in the physical form. So, here you are gathered with friends, relatives, most of you are former students of mine, now friends and colleagues, working as teachers, healers, authors and some have made news for yourselves with the work you do of service to others, your communities and country. It makes me feel proud that in some ways I could contribute to this.

I have ask you to come together for these two days of sharing, teaching and learning, being creative, etc, in the form of the ancient festivals of “Giving and Receiving”, something we need to day in our high tech world of too much distraction and losing the quality of living day by day. For this I “shout” in protest “We can do better, we are not machines” our greatest gift is our humanity. So what are we going to do about it? Those days of excuses, postponing, blaming and complaint and looking for the savior leader are over and need to be. “We are the ones we have been waiting for”.

So take a step forward not backward, or move so quick that you lose your ground. Remember, “step by step” and lead from the heart, with “fear” as a friend and teacher and the shadow as a powerful messenger and reminder of what, or the “conscious” needs to be brought into the light of the conscious.

These are some of the challenges before you in these two days, but in the spirit of the “Living and lived”, not the “dead and unexplored”. I want you celebrate my passing, knowing that my work will continue from the other side and that you can strengthen my legacy through what you chose to do with these two days and how you plan to next steps not only with my “seeds of contribution” while here on this earth but also in adding something more to your lives, relationships, work, dreams and more, so you have a more enriched life in these next years throughout.

The time has come for you and other members of the Colombian earth family to begin to “join with hearts, minds and spirits in creating a different kind of world. Make no mistake about it –the universe is doing its part in this “turning point” period for the final days of the “old earth story” as the new one is in the beginning steps of birth. Now is the time to befriend our fears and walk with them, not put them at a distance hoping to control their affect and influence. The same goes for all dark energies and shadow. It is time to heal and bring closer what we could rather hide, hide from and separate ourselves from. This specially includes death. Our most misunderstood step of transition, and transformation through spirit.

I know you will do what you need to do what is required for this event to be “one of the more important ones” of your continued lives for it gives you a second chance to evaluate, look more closely at how you are doing your lives now how to do it better. Better because it is possible, you have the tools and capacities for doing it and simply because you deserve it as does everyone.

So find the leaders, teachers, helpers, amongst yourselves, put your “egos” aside, listen to the guidance of your hearts, personally and collectively and get organized the activities that suit you best. This is the time to co-operate, co-create, dialogue, serve, trust and support but mostly –love. Enjoy, learn, grow, heal, create and discover and re-discover. This is the time for all of this happens. Rest assured, my spirit will be with you through these two wonderful days, dancing with you, laughing with you, crying with you, healing with you, so in the end you leave to begin another new day, a birthday fresh, new and renewed and ready to “live” through another step here on this earth, in body, with family friends, human brothers and sisters in the ongoing attempt to be better human beings in all ways.

Remember what Martin Luther King taught: Love is not the answer. It is only the assignment. Whether we are here or in spirit, we will always have this lesson to learn no matter what life form we take or where we happen to be in the universe.

So my Colombian brothers and sisters make these two days ones you will never forget and pass their meaning on to your offspring and theirs to theirs.

This is the only way the Spirit of Love can spread in this world, and the light can be a part of the dark and we can be whole again. The dream of so many before and mine as well.

I love you all!!! It´s fiesta time in Colombia, in Sierra Morena.

Frank “Eaglebrother”.

如果我的亲爱的兄弟Rodrigo正在向你们大家读这封信，那就意味着我只能用我的精神而非我的肉体和你们在一起了。

一般来说，我希望我能继续我的全球工作之旅，在中国、立陶宛、乌克兰、俄罗斯、美国开设我的工作坊，然后在深秋返回哥伦比亚，参加一个与Gustavo Mutis、 Peter Senge以及两位哈弗大学的教授共事的项目。这个项目将会为哥伦比亚的社会探索打开的新的篇章。这是我全球之旅的重要一步也是我对哥伦比亚所做的重要的一步。也许这就是俗话说的“卷土重来”。但我们知道事情不会总向着我们想象的那样发展，不能继续在中国以及其他一些正处于正处于转折点，并且我为之奋斗许久的地方工作，对我来说是一件痛苦万分的遗憾。

虽然如此，这次回归哥伦比亚的旅途还是标志了我全球之旅的终结，就如同我25年前在哥伦比亚开始它一样。我完成了这个大圈，完成了我的任务，完成了从智利到东非跨越71个国家的旅程，完成这个让我理解了生命、死亡、梦想、需求、人性、自然、等等等等的旅程。我发自内心的感激生活给予了我这样一个机会。

现在，我的旅程走到了终点，我也必须接受这一点。学会接受这一部分也是我旅程中的一部分。没有人能在物理世界永生。在座的各位大部分曾经是我的学生，现在你们也作为老师、作家、治疗者为你们周围的人，为你们的国家和社会做着贡献。能看到这些，就已经让我感到非常的自豪了。

我希望你们能在这两天里互相学习、互相分享、一起创造，如同古时候的给予和接受的节日一样。在高科技充斥的世界中，我们都逐渐的丢失生活本身的快乐。为此，我喊出了“我们可以做的更好，我们不是机器”来唤醒大家意识到，人性本身是我们最为珍贵的礼物。那么知晓这些后我们应该怎么做呢？那些借口，拖延，指责，抱怨和等待拯救者的心态都应该被终结，只有我们自己才能成为我们最需要的那个人。

向前走一步，不要向后退。走的太快也会让你失去你所依赖的大地。记住，跟随你的心，一步步的走，把你得恐惧当做良师益友，把你的阴影当做有力的提醒。他们都是提醒你前进方向，通往光明的人。

这些是你们在这两天中的挑战，希望你们能注重生活本身而不是局限于死亡和悲伤。我希望你们庆祝我的死亡。虽然我走了，但我的工作依然会继续，而你们在接下来两天中的选择将会帮助我遗留下的工作更好的进行。你所迈出的哪一步，不仅仅是为了我留在世上的种子，也是为了你的生命，家人，工作梦想和很多很多，这一步将让你以后的生活越来越充实。

哥伦比亚的兄弟姐妹们，你们的时间来到了，宇宙已经为我们创造出了改变的契机，我们要去创造一个新的世界。和你们的恐惧成为朋友，不要再试图拒绝它、控制它。同时也停止对其他内心阴影的拒绝和控制。我们需要接受这些我们内心长久以来疏远，隐藏的部分。这其中尤其是对死亡，我们对死亡最大的错误是忽视它作为由肉体转为精神的第一步。

我知道你会去做你需要去做的，去完成你生命的蜕变，给自己一个再来的机会，仔细看看如何才能让自己做的更好。不要质疑，因为这是可能的，你有能力去做到因为我们每一个人，地球上的每一个人都可以做到这一点。

去寻找你的向导和老师，把你固执的自我放在一边，倾听内心的向导，去收集组织那些最适合你的东西。去合作，共同创造，交流，互相付出，互相信任支持。最重要的，记住爱，投入，学习，成长，创造发现，再次发现。现在就是让这一切发生的最好时机.。在这两天里，我的精神将和你们在一起，一起分享，一起感悟。当你结束这两天的旅程后，你将迎来一次新生，重新的体会“生”的意义，和你的家人朋友们一起向着成为更好的人前进。

记住马丁路德金曾经说过的，爱不是答案，他只是一个任务，不管从身体上还是精神上，我们都必须不惜一切代价接受这个任务，去学习我们生活的意义。

参加这两天旅程的兄弟姐妹们啊，不要忘了把你们在这里得到的、感悟到的传递给其他人。

这是让这份爱的精神传遍世界的唯一途径，黑暗可以变成光的一部分，我们能重新成为一个整体。这是我，也是很多很多人长久以来的梦想。

我爱你们大家！写于哥伦比亚Sierra Morena。

你们的兄弟，Frank
