Two surf session today. This morning at rock island had nice right handed waves. I am working on being more aggressive after pop up to get speed and go right into the pocket of the wave. I like the technicalities of surfing. Today I really improved my searching for waves and picking which one to take. I have really been improving. 5 hours out on the surf board flies by. It is important to check which tide you are surfing at. If the tide is going out you need to make sure you do not get taken out to the sea and paddle back to shore in time. The tides of the ocean are a cool phenomena. The ocean tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. Humans are 60% water content. Somehow most people do not believe the moon and its phases have a great effect on the human psyche and experience. Kabbalah and Ayurveda support this, check it out. One thing aI have been thinking about recently are there are three types of people: religious supremacist, one love Rastas, and stupid people who just don't think deeply. Most religions believe theirs is the best and supreme. I want to try avoid this form of religious supremacy. When you recognize the oneness of all things flowing through everything with infinite love, it makes no sense that a religion could be better than another. Everything is one! Ok last thing I have been wanting to say for a while. Philippines is my least favorite country on my travels. That is not to say I do not enjoy my time here. I am still glad I came. The best thing about the Philippines is for sure the aquatic life. However the Philippines lacks culture, it's expensive, and there is nothing super unique. You get way better beaches in culture in Central America, and SE Asia. Also Filipino people here are quite stupid on average. Even though I am filled with ho ho ho compassion it is annoying sometimes.
