Happy Birthday, Channarong!

Was about to buy a vigil candle for the kuman thong, but Mongkut led me away from them and brought me, instead, to the sales display of small lanterns and tea lights.

Bought a lantern and bamboo-scented tea lights.

Happy Birthday, Mongkut!

Do not expect to sense the presence of your kuman thong immediately after its enshrinment in your home. It will settle down, adapt to your house, the house routine, and your lifestyle for a period as long as one year. After that, you will begin to see and feel signs of its presence, and things will escalate from then on.

Kuman thong will keep you healthy and alive because they cannot bear having other people take care of them. If you have only one kuman thong devoted to generating prosperity and wealth, it is advisable to have another devoted to ensuring good health and longevity.

Your first, or eldest, kuman thong is always your general manager and assistant administrator.

Particular duties can be assigned to your succeeding kuman thong (if you decide to buy more) in order to free up your first from overwhelming responsibilities.

Kuman thong love tiny, toy cars because, on a symbolic level, the toy cars provide them mobility.

Kuman thong are to be treated like real children. Never take them to the bathroom or the bedroom. Do not have sex in their presence. Do not ask them to procure a lover for you.

No more than you would a real child or your own child.

If you have more than one kuman thong, always give deference to the eldest kuman thong, who oversees everything. If you are to thank a kuman thong whose designation is to heal someone and that person is healed, thank FIRST your eldest kuman thong AND THEN your healing kuman thong.

Back in the Philippines, I learned something the hard way. Kuman thong may still have residual negative energy carried over from their previous owners. Not surprisingly, many owners are eager to transfer their kuman thong to other buyers for a variety of reasons--the kuman thong brought not so good luck, the kuman thong had too many trickster habits, the kuman thong caused things to get broken in the house, et cetera.

In order to get rid of this energy, place a green apple (two apples if you have two to five as in my case) in front of the kuman thong on his or their shrine. Leave the green apples there. They will absorb the negative energy. When the green apples begin to rot, take them away, tie them inside a plastic bag, and throw them in the dust bin.

Arrived home from conducting my workshop Monday, June 5, 2017.

We now have a basketball team: Mongkut (Crown, Man With Crown), eldest; Channarong (Experienced Warrior, second to the eldest); Tanet (Rich Man), middle; Niran (Eternal), second to the youngest; and Ukrit (Supreme), youngest.

Ukrit's persona manifested as J., a Chinese boy who was in my Writing from The Heart workshop three years ago. I have yet to see how Tanet and Niran show me their personas as manifested in other people.

It occurred to me tonight that taking care of kuman thong has made me more patient with and generous to real children.

This afternoon I bought a small, plastic dollhouse and placed it in the toy village inside the small loggia. I know that Mongkut and Channarong have been using that space as a playground.

_Tai Magic_ Arrives

My sister Sylvia bought this book for me. Our eldest sister Lourdes and brother-in-law Maning arrived for a vacation here last Saturday, and Lourdes gave it to me.

It's a good reference. I like that Thai magic and magical practices were never veneered with structured religions, unlike others, especially those in the West.

Last night my Friends List finally hit 5,000, and I can no longer receive Friend Requests. There is one particular Friend from Ukraine whom I have been frequently messaging with. We established, over two weeks, such a deep friendship that both of us are very sure we meet in dreams, on the astral plane, or knew each other well in one or more previous lifetimes.

It think it is a sign that the Russian or Eastern European boy inside Channarong has finally moved on. I have received signs from both Mongkut and Channarong to go ahead and acquire our third kuman thong. I will do this pending the completion of a portion of the house that we recently began renovating.

_The Thai Occult_ Arrives

The book The Thai Occult arrived today, along with other goodies, from my sister Sylvia in Sydney. Sylvia ordered a copy for herself as well. I cannot wait to read it tonight.

Placed chocolates and candies at the kuman thong shrine.

Each copy of the ghost edition comes with a real ghost. It is inscribed with gold leaf by the author himself on the inside cover of each book. Of course, no two ghosts are the same.
