The first two photos really contrast each other so much that it’s a bit disturbing for me!
Then I realized you said it wasn’t all smooth sailing!!

Once you get over the "shock" you are still not home free because then comes the "awe"
Good grief! You are right! At first I didn’t believe you!
Now I am convinced you must be a psychic!
Oh! If you have some time to spare, I would love to have a reading for the Chinese New Year!
I am totally awe-struck by the nouveau Chinese Father Lunar New Year’s habit of dropping present from top of the castle!!

I will see if I have time to take a look.
Oh! It’s very gracious and kind of you, Sir!
But, ...but ... why only one eye?! Sire! Did you have a health problem! Oh ! No! This reminds me of the dollar bill with pyramid and all! LoL

My problems go way beyond health?
This gives me a serious pause. My absent Steemian/ South African friend told me in her last post that her family financial situation was under stress but everybody’s health was very good. So she’s taking one day at a time. So health is the most important thing!
Buddhists believe that we are born to face problems and sufferings so that we can learn to deal with these situations and grow spiritually. Life is tough and it often sucks! But I have to make the best of it,
come moon or shine, my back is against the wall!
But, as the saying goes: when the door is closed, God always leaves a window open, I guess it’s similar to ‘every cloud has a silver lining’.
If it’s simple health problem, not life threatening, I could do some magic from time to time with divine permission. Beyond health problem, I recommend praying and building lots of positive frequencies.
‘Mind over matter’ with effortless action. Easier said than done!
But with your caliber, I know you are capable of unimaginable things! Just believe in yourself and do it! I believe you are one in a million kind of person, with high missions in life!
Please let me know if I could be of any small assistance. You have brought laughters and smiles to many people here!
Best wishes.

Buddhists also know about spiritual warfare:
Thank you. This is very interesting. But Trantric Buddhism is not really practiced in Thailand. We have the Theravada tradition which has no rituals with mediums or trances. This seems bland and boring to some people.
Although one of my friends is the expert in Tibetan language and has already set up a Tibetan foundation in Hua Hin, I still feel that the shortest path towards enlightenment should be as direct as possible without unnecessary rituals to cloud the mind. So, I didn’t become a member of Thai Tibetan Buddhists’ community. But I was lucky to have met several influential Rinpoches here, one of whom gave me such wonderful energy.
In Theravada tradition, there are so many accomplished old monks with high Yannas and ‘magical’ psychic abilities. But they would not indulge in these diversions, lay people are not encouraged to aim for these powers while meditating. I still prefer to learn the Buddha’s teaching (What the Buddha Taught), Krishnamurti’s books are pure Buddhism to me!
In the countryside, there are various local ceremonies in which villagers use trance ceremonies and mediums to connect with their past ancestors every year. That’s the pagan tradition, a way of paying respect to the past history or memory.
In meditation, the meditators are like warriors fighting to overcome Mara in their thoughts. But by letting go completely could the mind be liberated and free. I am working on this each day! Hard work!
Cheers.
