imminent storm.Ca: Pluja intensa va començar a caure, forçant Adrià i Mireia a compartir refugi en una petita cova que van trobar al costat del camí.En: Intense rain began to fall, forcing Adrià and Mireia to share shelter in a small cave they found beside the path.Ca: L'espai era estret i la llum de l'exterior s'estrenyia fins esdevenir ombres vacil·lants.En: The space was narrow, and the light from outside dwindled into flickering shadows.Ca: Al principi, el silenci ocupava l'espai entre ells, només trencat pel so constant de l'aigua colpejant les pedres.En: At first, silence occupied the space between them, only broken by the constant sound of water hitting the rocks.Ca: Adrià, amb un sospir profund, va decidir parlar.En: Adrià, with a deep sigh, decided to speak.Ca: Va explicar la

human.Ca: Mireia va veure l'ocasió d'aprofitar nous horitzons, de redefinir el seu camí professional.En: Mireia saw the opportunity to seize new horizons, to redefine her professional path.Ca: Als

possibilitats per veure més clar.En: For Mireia, the clear sky was a metaphor for her own path, a reminder that sometimes it's necessary to open up to new possibilities to see more clearly.Ca: Al

and clarity.Ca: Així, a mesura que el sol s'ocultava darrere les altures de Montserrat, Adrià va descobrir nous tons i emocions per a les seves pintures, mentre que Mireia va decidir explorar amb valentia un futur que feia poc semblava inaccessible.En: Thus, as the sun set behind the heights of Montserrat, Adrià discovered new tones and emotions for his paintings, while Mireia decided to

Pau said quietly to Laia.Ca: Laia va negar amb el cap, però els seus ulls demostraven que part d'ella volia saber més.En: Laia shook her head, but her eyes showed that part of her wanted to know more.Ca: "Ens han dit que no ens separem," va recordar Laia, intentant no perdre de vista el grup.En: "They've told us not to separate," Laia remembered, trying not to lose sight of the group.Ca: Però Pau ja havia pres la seva decisió.En: But Pau had already made his decision.Ca: Amb una mirada còmplice a Laia, va començar a caminar cap al passadís menys transitat del monestir.En: With a knowing look at Laia, he began to walk toward the less-traveled corridor of the monastery.Ca: Laia va fer una pausa, dubtant, però la curiositat la va guanyar.En: Laia paused, hesitating, but curiosity got the better of her.Ca: Sense pensar-ho gaire, va seguir el seu amic.En: Without thinking much, she followed her friend.Ca: Van passar per passadissos antics, les pedres refredant-los el calor de l'estiu.En: They passed through ancient corridors, the stones cooling them from the summer heat.Ca: De sobte, Pau va veure una porta petita mig amagada darrere d'un altre passadís.En: Suddenly, Pau saw a small door half-hidden behind another passage.Ca: Els ulls de Pau s'il·luminaren més.En: Pau's eyes lit up even more.Ca: La porta va cedir amb un lleugera empenta.En: The door gave way with a slight push.Ca: Darrere, una sala polsegosa plena de llibres antics i artefactes oblidats apareixia davant d'ells.En: Behind it, a dusty room full of ancient books and forgotten artifacts appeared before them.Ca: La sala desprenia una màgia ancestral.En: The room exuded an ancient magic.Ca: "Mira això, Laia!

The girls are back with an episode that starts with mystical Russian Orthodox nightmare fuel and ends with Argentina turning a serial killer into Friendship Day merch. Totally normal. First, Amy tells the story of Mia and James, a mysterious ex-boyfriend from an Otherworld Patreon story who casually claimed he could have the dreams of people he slept next to. Cute first date chat? No, thank you. Then he accurately described Mia's lifelong recurring childhood nightmare, the one she had never told anyone about, and somehow, after that, the nightmare stopped. And if that wasn't enough, Mia later saw James's body in a mirror with a completely different old man's face, and when James told his therapist, she admitted she had seen the same man too. Then Monique takes us to Buenos Aires for the story of Yiya Murano, the so-called Poisoner of Montserrat, a woman obsessed with status, elegance and living like a socialite on money she did not have. After running a Ponzi scheme on her friends, Yiya allegedly solved her little financial problem by poisoning three women with cyanide. And somehow, after prison, Argentina said: we have a new pop culture icon. We're talking TV appearances, mugs, memes and musicals. This episode has dream stealing, hooved angel warnings, poisoned pastries and a whole lot of “what the fuck?”

Friends of the Rosary,Today, July 31st, we honor Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556) as the saint of the day, a Spanish Basque soldier, mystic, and priest who founded the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) and wrote The Spiritual Exercises.In the year 1521, at the siege of Pampeluna, a cannonball fractured the left leg of Captain Ignatius Loyola, the future founder of the Jesuits. While he was convalescing, Ignatius read about Christ and His saints and thus turned wholly to God. He went to Montserrat, and hung up his arms before the altar of the Blessed Virgin, entering upon his knighthood in the army of Christ. He then equipped himself for Christ's service by acquiring a good classical and theological education.God favored and refreshed him with such wonderful spiritual lights. He patiently endured sufferings and insults in every place, undergoing the hardest trials, even imprisonment and beatings almost to death. But he ever desired to suffer far more for the glory of his Lord.At Paris he was joined by nine companions from that University, men of different nations, who had taken their degrees in Arts and Theology; and there at Montmartre he laid the first foundations of the order. Among them, St. Francis Xavier was sent to preach the Gospel in the Indies. He dispersed others of his children to spread the Christian faith in other parts of the world, thus declaring war against paganism, superstition, and heresy.God raised up Ignatius and the Society of Jesus to oppose Luther and the heretics of his time, as formerly he had raised up other holy men to oppose other heretics.The members of the Society of Jesus became the shock troops of the Church in the battle against the spread of Protestantism in Europe, as well as one of the greatest foreign mission organizations that the world has known.Ignatius everywhere opened schools for the education of youth in piety and letters. St. Philip Neri and others saw his countenance shining with heavenly light. And his power over the demons was wonderful.Ignatius died on July 31, 1556, at the age of sixty-five.Since then, St. Ignatius is celebrated for miracles and for his great services to the Church.In today's Gospel (Matthew 13:54-58), Jesus returns to His native place, and the people are astonished by His wisdom. But instead of receiving Him, they reduce Him to what they already know: “Is he not the carpenter's son?” Familiarity closes their hearts. They cannot accept that God is working through someone so close, so ordinary, so known to them.That is a warning for us. God may speak through ordinary people, ordinary duties, ordinary prayers, and ordinary moments. If we only expect God in dramatic signs, we may miss Him when He comes quietly.Saint Ignatius of Loyola fits beautifully with today's message. His life was reshaped by God after injury, ambition, and conversion. He learned to discern God's voice, to seek God's will, and to find God in all things.Let's listen when God corrects us. Do not reject truth because it is uncomfortable or because it comes through someone familiar. Ask for a humble heart that can recognize God's voice and follow His will.Like Saint Ignatius, help us seek Divine Will in all things and follow the Lord with courage.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Full Text of Readings Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, Priest Lectionary: 405 The Saint of the day is Saint Ignatius of Loyola Saint Ignatius of Loyola's Story The founder of the Jesuits was on his way to military fame and fortune when a cannon ball shattered his leg. Because there were no books of romance on hand during his convalescence, Ignatius whiled away the time reading a life of Christ and lives of the saints. His conscience was deeply touched, and a long, painful turning to Christ began. Having seen the Mother of God in a vision, he made a pilgrimage to her shrine at Montserrat near Barcelona. He remained for almost a year at nearby Manresa, sometimes with the Dominicans, sometimes in a pauper's hospice, often in a cave in the hills praying. After a period of great peace of mind, he went through a harrowing trial of scruples. There was no comfort in anything—prayer, fasting, sacraments, penance. At length, his peace of mind returned. It was during this year of conversion that Ignatius of Loyola began to write down material that later became his greatest work, the Spiritual Exercises. He finally achieved his purpose of going to the Holy Land, but could not remain, as he planned, because of the hostility of the Turks. Ignatius of Loyola spent the next 11 years in various European universities, studying with great difficulty, beginning almost as a child. Like many others, his orthodoxy was questioned; Ignatius was twice jailed for brief periods. In 1534, at the age of 43, he and six others—one of whom was Saint Francis Xavier—vowed to live in poverty and chastity and to go to the Holy Land. If this became impossible, they vowed to offer themselves to the apostolic service of the pope. The latter became the only choice. Four years later Ignatius of Loyola made the association permanent. The new Society of Jesus was approved by Pope Paul III, and Ignatius was elected to serve as the first general. When companions were sent on various missions by the pope, Ignatius remained in Rome, consolidating the new venture, but still finding time to found homes for orphans, catechumens, and penitents. He founded the Roman College, intended to be the model of all other colleges of the Society. Ignatius of Loyola was a true mystic. He centered his spiritual life on the essential foundations of Christianity—the Trinity, Christ, the Eucharist. His spirituality is expressed in the Jesuit motto, Ad majorem Dei gloriam—“for the greater glory of God.” In his concept, obedience was to be the prominent virtue, to assure the effectiveness and mobility of his men. All activity was to be guided by a true love of the Church and unconditional obedience to the Holy Father, for which reason all professed members took a fourth vow to go wherever the pope should send them for the salvation of souls. Reflection Luther nailed his theses to the church door at Wittenberg in 1517. Seventeen years later, Ignatius of Loyola founded the Society that was to play so prominent a part in the Catholic Reformation. He was an implacable foe of Protestantism. Yet the seeds of ecumenism may be found in his words: “Great care must be taken to show forth orthodox truth in such a way that if any heretics happen to be present they may have an example of charity and Christian moderation. No hard words should be used nor any sort of contempt for their errors be shown.” One of the greatest ecumenists was the 20th-century German Jesuit, Cardinal Augustin Bea.Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

Transcript:Ca: El sol de l'estiu escalfava les roques imponents de Montserrat, il·luminant el camí que conduïa al retir espiritual.En: The summer sun warmed the imposing rocks of Montserrat, illuminating the path that led to the spiritual retreat.Ca: Marçal, amb la motxilla a l'esquena, sentia un nus a l'estómac.En: Marçal, with a backpack on his shoulder, felt a knot in his stomach.Ca: Havia vingut aquí per trobar inspiració, però el pes de l'ansietat encara marcava el seu ser.En: He had come here to find inspiration, but the weight of anxiety still marked his being.Ca: El camí sinuós entre arbres i muntanyes no feia més que amplificar el seu desig d'aïllar-se.En: The winding path among trees and mountains did nothing but amplify his desire to isolate himself.Ca: A l'entrada del retir, Laia, la instructora de ioga, somreia als nous visitants.En: At the entrance of the retreat, Laia, the yoga instructor, smiled at the new visitors.Ca: Portava anys dedicant-se al ioga, però alguna cosa dins d'ella l'havia portat a aquest lloc, a replantejar les seves eleccions en la vida.En: She had spent years dedicated to yoga, but something inside her had brought her to this place, to rethink her life choices.Ca: Gemma va arribar poc després.En: Gemma arrived shortly after.Ca: La seva vida empresarial era una cursa constant, i aquest retir era una pausa desitjada per trobar una mica de calma.En: Her business life was a constant race, and this retreat was a desired pause to find some calm.Ca: El primer dia, Marçal es va asseure en un racó durant les activitats de grup.En: On the first day, Marçal sat in a corner during group activities.Ca: Observava, però no participava gaire.En: He observed but didn't participate much.Ca: Les paraules animoses de Laia durant les sessions de meditació el relaxaven una mica, però la por de no ser prou bo el seguia martellejant.En: The encouraging words of Laia during the meditation sessions relaxed him a bit, but the fear of not being good enough kept hammering at him.Ca: Al capvespre, va decidir parlar amb Laia.En: At dusk, he decided to talk to Laia.Ca: Trobar la força per obrir-se va ser difícil, però la seva veu suau i comprensiva el va ajudar.En: Finding the strength to open up was difficult, but her gentle and understanding voice helped him.Ca: "Laia, em sento perdut amb la meva obra.En: "Laia, I feel lost with my work.Ca: Tinc por que no tingui sentit", va dir Marçal.En: I'm afraid it doesn't make sense," said Marçal.Ca: Laia va assentir amb comprensió.En: Laia nodded with understanding.Ca: "La creativitat ve del cor, no del cap.En: "Creativity comes from the heart, not the head.Ca: Has de deixar la por enrere.En: You have to leave fear behind."Ca: "Va arribar el matí següent i una activitat de grup complicada estava planejada: una meditació profunda que obligava a enfrontar-se als propis prejudicis.En: The next morning arrived, and a challenging group activity was planned: a deep meditation that forced one to confront their own prejudices.Ca: Marçal estava inquiet, però va decidir provar-ho.En: Marçal was uneasy, but decided to give it a try.Ca: Seure en cercle, amb els ulls tancats, va ser un repte.En: Sitting in a circle, with closed eyes, was a challenge.Ca: L'ambient era tens, però un silenci de pau va anar impregnant l'aire.En: The atmosphere was tense, but a peaceful silence began to permeate the air.Ca: Durant aquella sessió, alguna cosa va canviar.En: During that session, something changed.Ca: En el silenci de la seva ment, Marçal va visualitzar colors i formes noves, una cascada de llum que li va mostrar el camí.En: In the silence of his mind, Marçal visualized new colors and shapes, a cascade of light that showed him the way.Ca: Va sentir la pressió interna desfer-se, com si un corrent de riu s'emportés tots els seus dubtes.En: He felt the internal pressure dissolve, as if a river current were sweeping all his doubts away.Ca: Quan el retir va arribar al seu final, Marçal es va sentir renovat.En: When the retreat came to its end, Marçal felt renewed.Ca: Aquella revelació li donava energia.En: That revelation provided him with energy.Ca: Abans de marxar, va intercanviar contactes amb Laia i Gemma.En: Before leaving, he exchanged contacts with Laia and Gemma.Ca: Sabia que les seves noves amistats eren un ancoratge important pel camí que volia seguir.En: He knew that his new friendships were an important anchor for the path he wanted to follow.Ca: De tornada al seu estudi, Marçal no va perdre temps.En: Back in his studio, Marçal wasted no time.Ca: Els colors i les formes que va veure durant la meditació brollaven sobre el llenç.En: The colors and shapes he saw during the meditation burst onto the canvas.Ca: Tenia la confiança i estava disposat a mostrar la seva vulnerabilitat al món, perquè entenia que allà estava la veritable força de la seva art.En: He had confidence and was willing to show his vulnerability to the world because he understood that therein lay the true strength of his art.Ca: Montserrat li havia ensenyat una liçó que mai oblidaria.En: Montserrat had taught him a lesson he would never forget.

Les États-Unis durcissent encore un peu plus leur politique migratoire. Après les arrestations devant les tribunaux où des migrants se rendaient pour répondre à une convocation pour étudier leur dossier, place désormais aux interpellations dans les aéroports. Plusieurs médias américains révèlent cette nouvelle manière de procéder de l'ICE, la police anti-immigration, nous explique Marine de La Moissonnière du service international de RFI. On savait que l'ICE intervenait dans les aéroports du pays, depuis quelques mois, pour arrêter des étrangers sous le coup d'une mesure d'expulsion. La nouveauté, c'est que la police anti-immigration interpelle désormais des gens dont le visa a expiré, mais qui ne sont pas sous le coup d'une obligation de quitter les États-Unis, y compris des personnes dont la procédure de renouvellement du visa est à l'étude. L'administration Trump fait également pression sur les étrangers en leur infligeant des amendes : 998 dollars par jour passé aux États-Unis sans papiers. C'est autorisé par la loi depuis 1996. Mais avant Donald Trump, jamais aucun président des États-Unis n'avait utilisé cette arme. Impossible de savoir combien de personnes ont préféré rentrer dans leur pays d'origine, faute de pouvoir payer. Enfin, Washington a annoncé hier (mardi 28 juillet 2026) une réforme de la procédure de demande d'asile qui est entrée en vigueur immédiatement. Désormais, les dossiers de certains demandeurs d'asile seront directement traités par un juge, parfois même sans les entendre. Auparavant, tous les demandeurs d'asile avaient un premier rendez-vous avec un agent des services de l'immigration, dans un bureau. Ce n'est qu'en cas de rejet de leur dossier qu'ils voyaient un juge qui pouvait ordonner leur renvoi des États-Unis. Présenté comme une simplification de la procédure, ce changement devrait surtout permettre d'accélérer l'expulsion de centaines de milliers de demandeurs d'asile.   Le difficile labeur des agriculteurs haïtiens Plus de la moitié de la population haïtienne se trouve en insécurité alimentaire aiguë, selon la FAO. Alors que près de la moitié des produits alimentaires consommés dans le pays sont importés et souvent trop chers, l'agriculture locale peine à se développer : elle emploie près de 60% de la population, mais ne représente que 20% du PIB d'Haïti. Elle est frappée durement par le changement climatique. Louise Jouveshomme a pu s'entretenir avec des agriculteurs qui lui ont raconté devoir faire face à des sécheresses et des inondations de plus en plus fréquentes. Ils dénoncent également le manque de soutien des pouvoirs publics. Un abandon qui remonte aux années 80 lorsque les grandes institutions monétaires, comme le FMI ou la Banque mondiale, conditionnent leur soutien économique à l'ouverture d'Haïti au commerce mondial. Pour tenter d'enrayer cette crise, il existe des initiatives locales comme celles lancées par le MPP, le Mouvement paysan papaye, basées sur l'entraide entre paysans et le respect de l'environnement.

Trobaràs quelcom especial per a la teva àvia."En: "Don't worry so much, Laia. You'll find something special for your grandmother."Ca: Havien arribat fins aquí amb l'esperança que el mercat oferís un regal únic per a la seva àvia, que sempre l'havia inspirada a seguir les seves passions artístiques.En: They had come all this way with the hope that the market would offer a unique gift for her grandmother, who had always inspired her to follow her artistic passions.Ca: Laia volia que el regal simbolitzés el creixement personal i la connexió amb les seves arrels catalanes.En: Laia wanted the gift to symbolize personal growth and connection to her Catalan roots.Ca: Però, amb tantes opcions, se sentia perduda i paralitzada pels seus propis dubtes.En: But with so many options, she felt lost and paralyzed by her own doubts.Ca: "Hi ha tantes coses boniques," va murmurar Laia, mirant les paradetes plenes de catifes teixides a mà, ceràmiques pintades amb cura, i joies que brillaven sota el sol.En: "There are so many beautiful things," murmured Laia, looking at the stalls filled with handwoven rugs, carefully painted ceramics, and jewelry that sparkled under the sun.Ca: Marta, una artesana local coneguda per la seva destresa, observava detingudament els visitants.En: Marta, a local artisan known for her skill, was observing the visitors closely.Ca: Quan va veure la inquietud als ulls de Laia, Marta va somriure i els va convidar a apropar-se.En: When she saw the unrest in Laia's eyes, Marta smiled and invited them to come closer.Ca: "Busques alguna cosa especial?" va preguntar Marta amb veu càlida.En: "Are you looking for something special?" Marta asked warmly.Ca: Laia va assentir.En: Laia nodded.Ca: "Voldria trobar un regal per a la meva àvia. Alguna cosa que la toqui de veritat."En: "I'd like to find a gift for my grandmother. Something that truly touches her."Ca: Marta va pensar un moment i va posar davant de Laia una joia feta de pedres i metalls reciclats, amb un disseny que recordava els camins serpentejants de les muntanyes de Montserrat.En: Marta thought for a moment and placed before Laia a piece of jewelry made from recycled stones and metals, with a design reminiscent of the winding paths of the Montserrat mountains.Ca: "Aquest collaret és únic. Les pedres venen de la mateixa terra que ens envolta."En: "This necklace is unique. The stones come from the very land that surrounds us."Ca: Laia va tocar suaument el collaret.En: Laia gently touched the necklace.Ca: De sobte, va recordar les excursions amb la seva àvia entre els turons, les històries que li explicava sobre els esperits de la muntanya i la força de la naturalesa.En: Suddenly, she remembered the hikes with her grandmother among the hills, the stories she told her about the mountain spirits and the power of nature.Ca: Se sentia com si hagués trobat una connexió tangible amb els seus records i amb les seves arrels.En: It felt as if she had found a tangible connection to her memories and her roots.Ca: Aquesta joia no era simplement bonica; tenia un significat profund.En: This piece of jewelry wasn't just beautiful; it had a deep meaning.Ca: Amb un somriure d'alleujament, Laia va decidir seguir els seus instints.En: With a relieved smile, Laia decided to follow her instincts.Ca: Va comprar el collaret i se sentia renovada, amb una nova confiança en les seves eleccions i en el camí que estava traçant.En: She bought the necklace and felt renewed, with newfound confidence in her choices and the path she was forging.Ca: "Veus, Laia," va dir Pau amb entusiasme, "Has trobat exactament el que buscaves."En: "See, Laia," said Pau enthusiastically, "You found exactly what you were looking for."Ca: Mentre el sol es ponia i les ombres s'allargaven, Laia i Pau van deixar el mercat amb un sentiment de satisfacció.En: As the sun set and the shadows lengthened, Laia and Pau left the market with a feeling of satisfaction.Ca: Laia portava amb ella no només un regal, sinó una forta reafirmació de qui era i d'on venia.En: Laia carried with her not just a gift, but a strong reaffirmation of who she was and where she came from.Ca: Al final, havia après que les decisions encertades sovint venen del cor.En: In the end, she had learned that the right decisions often come from the heart.

Story Transcript:Ca: El sol brillava amb força sobre les muntanyes de Montserrat.En: The sun shone brightly over the mountains of Montserrat.Ca: Les roques tenien formes estranyes, com si haguessin estat esculpides per gegants fa molt de temps.En: The rocks had strange shapes, as if they had been carved by giants a long time ago.Ca: Martí i Laia caminaven pel camí empedrat.En: Martí and Laia walked along the cobbled path.Ca: Feia setmanes que Laia havia tornat de l'estranger, però Martí encara la sentia lluny.En: It had been weeks since Laia had returned from abroad, but Martí still felt she was distant.Ca: —Laia, mira quina vista!En: "Laia, look at that view!"Ca: —va dir Martí, senyalant el monestir al fons.En: said Martí, pointing at the monastery in the distance.Ca: Laia es va aturar.En: Laia paused.Ca: Els seus ulls es van enfocar en el paisatge, però la seva ment era lluny.En: Her eyes focused on the landscape, but her mind was far away.Ca: Tot plegat era tan familiar i alhora tan estrany després de tants mesos fora.En: Everything was so familiar yet so strange after so many months away.Ca: —És bonic —va respondre Laia, amb una veu suau.En: "It's beautiful," Laia responded, in a soft voice.Ca: Martí es va acostar a la seva germana gran.En: Martí moved closer to his older sister.Ca: Sempre havien estat molt units.En: They had always been very close.Ca: Però ara, hi havia quelcom que els separava.En: But now, there was something that separated them.Ca: Era com si una ombra es negués a esvair-se.En: It was as if a shadow refused to disappear.Ca: —Estàs bé, Laia?En: "Are you okay, Laia?"Ca: —va preguntar, amb un to preocupat.En: he asked, with a concerned tone.Ca: Laia va girar el cap cap a ell.En: Laia turned her head towards him.Ca: Els seus ulls mostraven cansament i incertesa.En: Her eyes showed tiredness and uncertainty.Ca: Volia explicar-li moltes coses.En: She wanted to tell him many things.Ca: La soledat d'un lloc nou, l'emoció de l'aprenentatge, però també la por de perdre's en allò conegut.En: The loneliness of a new place, the excitement of learning, but also the fear of losing herself in the familiar.Ca: Van caminar fins arribar a un mirador.En: They walked until they reached a viewpoint.Ca: Les ombres dels núvols es movien ràpidament sobre la vall.En: The shadows of the clouds moved quickly over the valley.Ca: Martí va decidir que era el moment.En: Martí decided it was time.Ca: Va inhalar profundament.En: He inhaled deeply.Ca: —Laia, et veig diferent —va admetre Martí amb sinceritat—.En: "Laia, you seem different," Martí admitted sincerely.Ca: Vull ajudar-te, però no sé com.En: "I want to help you, but I don't know how."Ca: Laia es va recolzar a la barana del mirador.En: Laia leaned on the railing of the viewpoint.Ca: Allà, amb l'aire fresc de l'estiu, es va atrevir.En: There, with the fresh summer air, she dared.Ca: —No sé on encaixo ara —va confessar Laia—.En: "I don't know where I fit in now," Laia confessed.Ca: Tot ha canviat, però també jo he canviat.En: "Everything has changed, but I have changed too."Ca: Martí va sentir un pes al pit.En: Martí felt a weight on his chest.Ca: A poc a poc, es va acostar i va posar el seu braç al voltant d'ella.En: Slowly, he moved closer and put his arm around her.Ca: —Estem aquí, Laia.En: "We're here, Laia.Ca: Estic amb tu.En: I'm with you."Ca: Laia va deixar anar una llàgrima de felicitat compartida.En: Laia shed a tear of shared happiness.Ca: La muntanya s'havia convertit en el testimoni d'una promesa renovada.En: The mountain had become the witness of a renewed promise.Ca: Martí la va apretar amb força, i en aquell moment va entendre el valor del silenci i l'escolta.En: Martí held her tightly, and in that moment he understood the value of silence and listening.Ca: Al capvespre, mentre el sol s'ocultava darrere les majestuoses cimes, el cor de Laia es va sentir més tranquil.En: At dusk, as the sun hid behind the majestic peaks, Laia's heart felt more at peace.Ca: Martí havia trencat l'escut i havia mostrat l'amor sincer d'un germà.En: Martí had broken through the shield and had shown the sincere love of a brother.Ca: La soledat s'esvaïa i es transformava en un record que mai més no la separaria de casa.En: The loneliness faded and transformed into a memory that would never again separate her from home.Ca: Van tornar al monestir amb una nova llum.En: They returned to the monastery with a new light.Ca: Martí havia descobert la paciència i la comprensió, i Laia, un lloc al qual tornar sempre.En: Martí had discovered patience and understanding, and Laia, a place to always return to.Ca: Montserrat es convertia així en un punt de partida per a noves esperances i somnis compartits, un retorn per a ella, i per a ell, un descobriment del que realment significa ser germà.En: Montserrat thus became a starting point for new hopes and shared dreams, a return for her, and for him, a discovery of what it truly means to

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Sunrise of Friendship: A Journey Beyond Montserrat Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-07-26-22-34-01-ca Story Transcript:Ca: A la fresca del matí d'un estiu càlid, el sol començava a despuntar darrere les muntanyes de Montserrat, il·luminant el monestir amb una llum daurada.En: In the cool morning breeze of a warm summer, the sun began to emerge from behind the Montserrat mountains, illuminating the monastery with a golden light.Ca: Júlia i Oriol, amics de sempre, es preparaven per a una aventura que prometia ser inoblidable.En: Júlia and Oriol, lifelong friends, were preparing for an adventure that promised to be unforgettable.Ca: Júlia, amb la seva motxilla carregada d'il·lusió, tenia un sol objectiu en ment: arribar al cim de la muntanya per veure la sortida del sol des d'un mirador especial.En: Júlia, with her backpack filled with excitement, had a single goal in mind: reaching the mountain summit to see the sunrise from a special viewpoint.Ca: Oriol, en canvi, carregava a més del seu equipament, una preocupació amagada.En: Oriol, on the other hand, carried not only his equipment but also a hidden concern.Ca: Era conscient de la importància de la medicació que Júlia prenia cada dia.En: He was aware of the importance of the medication Júlia took every day.Ca: Però com a amic lleial, volia assegurar-se que res no pertorbés el projecte de Júlia.En: But as a loyal friend, he wanted to ensure nothing disturbed Júlia's plan.Ca: Els primers passos van ser fàcils.En: The first steps were easy.Ca: Els camins serpentejaven entre formacions rocoses i vegetació esplendorosa.En: The paths wound between rocky formations and lush vegetation.Ca: Júlia, curiosa com sempre, es meravellava amb cada detall.En: Júlia, curious as ever, marveled at every detail.Ca: Oriol, més prudent, s'assegurava que seguissin el sender correcte.En: Oriol, more cautious, ensured they followed the correct trail.Ca: Tot anava bé fins que, a mig camí, Júlia va notar una absència que li va glaçar el cor: la seva bossa de medicació no era amb ella.En: Everything was going well until, halfway, Júlia noticed an absence that chilled her heart: her medication bag was not with her.Ca: —Oriol! He perdut els meus medicaments! —va exclamar, amb la veu trontollant.En: "Oriol! I've lost my medications!" she exclaimed, with a trembling voice.Ca: Oriol es va aturar, analitzant la situació.En: Oriol stopped, analyzing the situation.Ca: "Podem tornar," va suggerir ell.En: "We can go back," he suggested.Ca: Però el sol començava a pujar i Júlia volia tant veure aquell espectacle natural...En: But the sun was rising, and Júlia so wanted to see that natural spectacle...Ca: En el silenci del bosc, Oriol va pensar ràpidament.En: In the silence of the forest, Oriol thought quickly.Ca: "Potser hi ha alguna cosa que podem fer," va dir.En: "Maybe there's something we can do," he said.Ca: Es va recordar que portava a la motxilla una ampolla amb una beguda isotònica que Júlia podria prendre per alleujar temporalment la seva condició.En: He remembered carrying a bottle of an isotonic drink in his backpack that Júlia could take to temporarily alleviate her condition.Ca: Amb aquesta solució, i amb les estrelles encara brillants al cel, van reprendre la marxa.En: With this solution, and with the stars still shining in the sky, they resumed their journey.Ca: Finalment, amb les primeres llums del dia, es van plantar al cim.En: Finally, with the first light of day, they stood at the summit.Ca: La vista era impressionant.En: The view was breathtaking.Ca: El sol escalfava suaument les muntanyes, la llum rebotant en els cims rocosos, banyant el monestir en un resplendor d'or.En: The sun gently warmed the mountains, the light bouncing off the rocky peaks, bathing the monastery in a golden glow.Ca: Júlia, amb els ulls brillants i el cor ple, va mirar Oriol.En: Júlia, with bright eyes and a full heart, looked at Oriol.Ca: "Gràcies," va dir.En: "Thank you," she said.Ca: "Gràcies per ser aquí."En: "Thank you for being here."Ca: Ella havia après que de vegades la seguretat i el goig es troben en el suport dels altres.En: She had learned that sometimes safety and joy are found in the support of others.Ca: Oriol havia demostrat ser més que un amic; un veritable escuder en la travessia de les muntanyes de l'amistat.En: Oriol had proven to be more than a friend; a true squire in the journey through the mountains of friendship.Ca: I així, amb el sol il·luminant el seu camí de tornada, van descendir de Montserrat, portant amb ells no només el record d'una sortida de sol, sinó també una lliçó eterna de confiança i companyia.En: And so, with the sun illuminating their path back, they descended from Montserrat, carrying with them not only the memory of a sunrise but also an eternal lesson of trust and companionship.

Fluent Fiction - Catalan: Climbing Montserrat: A Journey of Friendship and Inner Peace Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ca/episode/2026-07-21-07-38-19-ca Story Transcript:Ca: La llum del matí acariciava les roques de la muntanya de Montserrat.En: The morning light caressed the rocks of the mountain of Montserrat.Ca: Els arbres verds ballaven suaument amb el vent suau de l'estiu.En: The green trees danced gently with the soft summer wind.Ca: Júlia, amb una mirada intensa, observava el camí que s'estenia davant seu.En: Júlia, with an intense look, observed the path that stretched out before her.Ca: Al seu costat, Pere somreia amb entusiasme, mentre Marina respirava profundament, buscant aquella pau interior que tant desitjava.En: Beside her, Pere smiled with enthusiasm, while Marina breathed deeply, seeking that inner peace she so desired.Ca: “Aquest serà un dia inoblidable,” va dir Pere, mirant cap a la llunyania.En: "This will be an unforgettable day," said Pere, looking into the distance.Ca: Júlia va assentir, esperant que la caminada proporcionés respostes a les seves preguntes interiors.En: Júlia nodded, hoping that the hike would provide answers to her inner questions.Ca: El sender era empinat, i el sol, encara suau, començava a escalfar l'ambient.En: The trail was steep, and the sun, though still gentle, started to warm the environment.Ca: Els amics van avançar en silenci un bon tros, cada un amb els seus propis pensaments.En: The friends walked in silence for a good stretch, each with their own thoughts.Ca: Aviat, el camí es va fer més difícil i la calor més intensa.En: Soon, the path became more difficult and the heat more intense.Ca: Júlia sentia com l'esgotament s'apoderava d'ella.En: Júlia felt exhaustion taking over her.Ca: Els seus dubtes es feien més pesats amb cada pas.En: Her doubts became heavier with each step.Ca: Però ella va decidir tirar endavant, convençuda que al cim la resaria esperava claredat.En: But she decided to move forward, convinced that clarity awaited her at the summit.Ca: Al cap d'una estona, un núvol gruixut va cobrir el sol i el vent va començar a bufar amb més força.En: After a while, a thick cloud covered the sun, and the wind began to blow more strongly.Ca: Pere i Marina es van aturar per prendre un descans.En: Pere and Marina stopped to take a break.Ca: “Hauríem de tornar,” va suggerir Marina preocupada.En: "We should go back," suggested Marina anxiously.Ca: Però Pere volia continuar.En: But Pere wanted to continue.Ca: “Només una mica més i arribarem,” va insistir Pere amb energia.En: "Just a little more and we'll reach it," insisted Pere energetically.Ca: L'argument entre ells es va escalfar, distorsionant l'harmonia del matí.En: The argument between them heated up, distorting the morning's harmony.Ca: Júlia, malgrat el seu cansament, va trobar forces per intervenir.En: Despite her fatigue, Júlia found the strength to intervene.Ca: “Hem vingut junts.En: "We came together.Ca: Sortirem junts,” va dir amb un to suau però ferm.En: We'll leave together," she said in a soft but firm tone.Ca: Els dos amics van acceptar, i la tensió es va dissipar lentament.En: The two friends agreed, and the tension slowly dissipated.Ca: A mesura que s'apropaven al cim, la pujada es feia més difícil.En: As they approached the summit, the climb became more difficult.Ca: Júlia lluitava amb les seves pròpies pors, però va persistir.En: Júlia wrestled with her own fears but persisted.Ca: I finalment, quan gairebé arribaven, el cel es va obrir miraculós.En: Finally, when they almost reached the top, the sky opened miraculously.Ca: Un raig de sol va il·luminar el seu camí i va pintar el paisatge amb colors vibrants.En: A ray of sun illuminated their path and painted the landscape with vibrant colors.Ca: Dalt del cim, el panorama era espectacular.En: At the top of the summit, the view was spectacular.Ca: El vent fresc portava una senzació de tranquil·litat i Júlia va sentir com si el món s'aturés per un moment.En: The fresh wind carried a sensation of tranquility, and Júlia felt as if the world paused for a moment.Ca: Ella va mirar cap a Pere i Marina.En: She looked at Pere and Marina.Ca: Una calidesa nova li omplia el cor.En: A new warmth filled her heart.Ca: No era només el lloc, sinó la connexió amb els seus amics.En: It wasn't just the place, but the connection with her friends.Ca: “Quan estiguem junts, sempre podrem superar les nostres pors,” va murmurar, somrient.En: "When we're together, we can always overcome our fears," she murmured, smiling.Ca: Els seus amics van somriure de tornada, compartint una sensació de pau i unitat.En: Her friends smiled back, sharing a sense of peace and unity.Ca: Al baixar de la muntanya, Júlia sabia que havia trobat alguna cosa més que només respostes: una confiança renovada.En: As they descended the mountain, Júlia knew she had found something more than just answers: a renewed confidence.Ca: Va comprendre que la pau i el propòsit es construïen amb els moments compartits, no únicament a la meta final.En: She understood that peace and purpose were built with shared moments, not just at the final destination.Ca: I així, el viatge de tornada va ser més lleuger, il·luminat per la certesa d'un nou començament.En: And so, the journey back was lighter, illuminated by the certainty of a new beginning.

in particular caught his attention.Ca: Era una escultura feta de flors silvestres, cada pètal semblava explicar una història antiga, un tros de la seva pròpia història.En: It was a sculpture made of

majestic peaks of Montserrat, where the monastery was elegantly nestled among the rocks.Ca: Sota aquest cel clar d'estiu, dos germans s'encaminaven a un retrobament que portava anys esperant.En: Under this clear summer sky, two siblings were heading towards a reunion that had been awaited for years.Ca: Mireia, amb la seva mirada escèptica i calculadora, va arribar primer.En: Mireia, with her skeptical and calculating gaze, arrived first.Ca: Havia passat temps des que va veure el seu germà.En: It had been a long time since she last saw her brother.Ca: Malgrat els anys de distància, l'herència dels seus pares l'havia dut aquí.En: Despite the years apart, their parents' inheritance had brought her here.Ca: L'aire fresc de la muntanya li omplia els pulmons mentre esperava Pere.En: The fresh mountain air filled her lungs as she waited for Pere.Ca: Aquest lloc sagrat li semblava l'escenari perfecte per a una conversa important.En: This sacred place seemed like the perfect setting for an important conversation.Ca: Pere va arribar uns minuts després.En: Pere arrived a few minutes later.Ca: La seva ànima idealista i sentimental el portava a Montserrat amb l'esperança de reconciliar-se amb la seva germana.En: His idealistic and sentimental soul brought him to Montserrat with the hope of reconciling with his sister.Ca: Els records d'infantesa, ara embolcallats per l'aura tranquil·la del monestir, li omplien el cor.En: Childhood memories, now enveloped by the tranquil aura of the monastery, filled his heart.Ca: Sense perdre temps, els germans es van trobar davant una petita capella.En: Without wasting time, the siblings met in front of a small chapel.Ca: L'inicial intercanvi de paraules fou cortès però cautelós.En: The initial exchange of words was polite but cautious.Ca: Tot i l'estranyesa, Mireia va decidir enfocar-se en les necessitats pràctiques.En: Despite the awkwardness, Mireia decided to focus on practical needs.Ca: "Hem de parlar de l'herència," li va dir, amb una veu ferma però oberta.En: "We need to talk about the inheritance," she said with a firm but open voice.Ca: "Sí, però vull parlar també del que vam perdre en el camí," va respondre Pere.En: "Yes, but I also want to talk about what we lost along the way," Pere replied.Ca: La seva veu contenia un bri de tristesa i esperança alhora.En: His voice held a hint of sadness and hope at the same time.Ca: Amb el pas d'una hora, les paraules van començar a liberar tensions ocultes durant els anys.En: As the hour passed, words began to release tensions hidden over the years.Ca: La seva discussió es va intensificar, cada paraula més punyent que l'anterior.En: Their discussion intensified, each word more piercing than the last.Ca: Els desacords del passat tornaven a emergir com les onades d'un mar en la tempesta.En: Past disagreements resurfaced like waves in a stormy sea.Ca: Però, enmig de les emocions desbordades, va passar el que semblava impossible.En: But, amid the overflowing emotions, something seemingly impossible happened.Ca: Pere, amb els ulls humits, va dir, "Encara recordo quan veníem aquí amb els pares.En: Pere, with tearful eyes, said, "I still remember when we came here with our parents.Ca: Aquest lloc... té el nostre passat."En: This place... holds our past."Ca: Mireia va veure la sinceritat en els ulls del seu germà.En: Mireia saw the sincerity in her brother's eyes.Ca: En aquell moment, la seva pròpia rigidesa es va trencar.En: In that moment, her own rigidity broke.Ca: "Sí, recordo els estius aquí," va admetre.En: "Yes, I remember the summers here," she admitted.Ca: "No vull que deixem de ser família."En: "I don't want us to stop being family."Ca: Amb una nova comprensió mútua, van començar a buscar solucions.En: With a new mutual understanding, they began to seek solutions.Ca: Finalment, van trobar un compromís.En: Finally, they found a compromise.Ca: Part de l'herència seria un llegat per honrar els seus pares, mentre que l'altra serviria per assegurar el futur de tots dos.En: Part of the inheritance would be a legacy to honor their parents, while the other part would ensure the future of both.Ca: Quan el sol començava a capbussar-se en l'horitzó, els germans van abandonar el monestir amb un pes menys sobre els seus cors.En: As the sun began to dip into the horizon, the siblings left the monastery with a lighter weight on their hearts.Ca: Havien trobat no només un acord sobre l'herència, sinó també la promesa d'una relació renovada.En: They had found not only an agreement on the inheritance but also the promise of a renewed relationship.Ca: Mentre deixaven Montserrat, cadascú portava amb si un record de comprensió i reconciliació.En: As they left Montserrat, each carried with them a memory of understanding and reconciliation.Ca: La vida els havia allunyat, però davant les roques immaculades de Montserrat, s'havien trobat de nou.En: Life had pulled them apart, but before the immaculate rocks of Montserrat, they found each other once again.

Story Transcript:Ca: A Barcelona, en un edifici antic ple d'història, el dia estava en plena ebullició.En: In Barcelona, in an old building full of history, the day was in full swing.Ca: La gent anava i venia del centre de votació, on tothom participava en les eleccions de ciutat.En: People were coming and going from the polling station, where everyone was participating in the city elections.Ca: Els rajos de sol es colaven per les finestres, il·luminant les parets decorades amb cartells que animaven la participació ciutadana.En: Sun rays streamed through the windows, illuminating the walls decorated with posters encouraging citizen participation.Ca: Entre la multitud, hi havia Jordi, un jove ple d'energia i determinació, que feia de voluntari aquell dia.En: Among the crowd was Jordi, a young man full of energy and determination, volunteering that day.Ca: Amb un somriure, assegurava que tothom sabia on havien d'anar, i animava els votants a expressar la seva veu.En: With a smile, he made sure everyone knew where they needed to go, encouraging voters to express their voice.Ca: Alhora, Montserrat, una dona de mitjana edat, acabava de votar i ara es preparava per anar al mercat.En: Meanwhile, Montserrat, a middle-aged woman, had just voted and was now preparing to go to the market.Ca: Tenia una llista de coses per comprar: tomàquets, cebes, pa i pollastre.En: She had a shopping list: tomatoes, onions, bread, and chicken.Ca: Mentre Montserrat sortia del centre de votació, Jordi va veure al seu pas una oportunitat.En: As Montserrat left the polling station, Jordi saw an opportunity as she passed by.Ca: "Hola!En: "Hello!"Ca: " va dir ell, apropant-se.En: he said, approaching her.Ca: "Tens un moment per parlar sobre la importància de votar?En: "Do you have a moment to talk about the importance of voting?"Ca: "Montserrat, una mica aclaparada per la seva llista d'encàrrecs i el sol calorós del solstici d'estiu, va somriure amablement.En: Montserrat, a bit overwhelmed by her list of errands and the hot sun of the summer solstice, smiled kindly.Ca: "No sé si tinc gaire temps avui, hi ha molt a fer.En: "I don't know if I have much time today, there's a lot to do."Ca: "Però Jordi, amb el seu entusiasme jove, no es va deixar intimidar.En: But Jordi, with his youthful enthusiasm, was not easily discouraged.Ca: "Només una estona, si us plau," va insistir.En: "Just for a bit, please," he insisted.Ca: "De veritat, la teva opinió és important per a la comunitat.En: "Really, your opinion is important to the community."Ca: "Al final, Montserrat va decidir donar-li uns minuts.En: In the end, Montserrat decided to give him a few minutes.Ca: "D'acord, parla'm del que vols dir," va dir ella.En: "Alright, tell me what you'd like to say," she said.Ca: Van començar a parlar.En: They began to talk.Ca: Jordi li va explicar com creia que votar era un dret i un deure fonamental.En: Jordi explained how he believed that voting was a fundamental right and duty.Ca: Montserrat, escoltant atentament, va adonar-se que mai havia pensat gaire profundament sobre la seva participació a la comunitat.En: Montserrat, listening attentively, realized she had never thought deeply about her participation in the community.Ca: La seva conversa es va fer cada cop més profunda, i el temps semblava aturar-se mentre compartien esperances i preocupacions pel futur del barri.En: Their conversation grew deeper, and time seemed to stop as they shared hopes and concerns for the future of the neighborhood.Ca: Montserrat es va sentir inspirada per l'entusiasme de Jordi.En:

community.Ca: Quan la conversa va acabar, Montserrat li va dir a Jordi: "Gràcies per parlar amb mi avui.En: When the conversation ended, Montserrat said to Jordi: "Thank you for talking with me today.Ca: Decideixo que vull fer alguna cosa més.En: I've decided I want to do more.Ca: Voluntariaré en el proper esdeveniment local.En: I'll volunteer at the next local event."Ca: "Els ulls de Jordi es van il·luminar.En: Jordi's eyes lit up.Ca: "Això és fantàstic!En: "That's fantastic!Ca: Gràcies a tu també per escoltar," va dir amb satisfacció.En: Thank you, too, for listening," he said with satisfaction.Ca: Mentre Montserrat marxava, tenia un nou somriure als llavis.En: As Montserrat left, she had a new smile on her face.Ca: Va sortir del centre de votació amb una nova energia i el propòsit d'implicar-se més.En: She left the polling station with new energy and a purpose to become more involved.Ca: Jordi va quedar-se allà, sentint-se validat i decidit a seguir inspirant a altres.En: Jordi stayed there, feeling validated and determined to continue inspiring others.Ca: I així, aquell calorós dia d'estiu a Barcelona va veure néixer no només decisions de votants, sinó també un canvi significatiu en dues persones, unides pel desig de millorar el seu petit racó del món.En: And so, that hot summer day in Barcelona saw not only voter decisions but also a significant change in two people, united by the desire to improve their small corner of the world.

The Lemurian energy has come and gone from my life several times since 2006, but this article is about a physical visit Larry and I had with the Lemurians and I'm sharing it in preparation for our June 2023 Class “Lemurian Reconnection”.Back in 2014, Larry and I went to Lemuria with two Spanish ladies.The place we entered Lemuria was at “Monastery Santa Maria de Montserrat”, a magnificent monastery at the edge of majestic mountains located about 45km, 28 miles, northwest of Barcelona, Spain.We had held an event in Barcelona at the time, and also planned a visit to the well known Lemurian portal in Montserrat. There are Lemurian portals at various locations around the planet.The Monastery had been built on the old location of a large Lemurian portal. But that portal had since been closed, and smaller portals are still in place in various locations on the mountains around the monastery.The monastery itself was an example of the typical divine energy leaching system. Technology that is used to absorb the individual's awe and inspiration felt from being exposed to the larger than life energy of the sacred spots churches, abbeys, cathedrals, monasteries and convents are built upon. So, nothing new to write home about that part of the visit.I had visited the portal in 2012 with Daniela and a portal keeper we met at the monastery who “just happened to be there that day” and had confirmed the location of the most accessible portal. So I knew where that portal was and was able to take us there in 2014.Larry, the ladies and I left the monastery courtyard and followed a well trodden, nicely built path up the mountain where I had found the portal two years earlier.Inelia's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.We had to walk quite some distance before arriving at the portal. It was literally on the path and there were pillars and seats on the edge of the path on that spot. We sat down, Larry, myself and the two ladies, and closed our eyes. I scanned the portal and “knocked” to see if there was anyone there and could we have a visit. I received the message that there was no one there to open it, but there were people on the way to meet us, and to come back in a while. I don't exactly remember how long we had to wait.We continued up the mountain and enjoyed the views, the company and interesting conversation. At the allotted time, we returned and sat on the stone seats on the edge of the path and closed our eyes.After we sat there a while, there was a massive crack sound, like a giant boulder had just crashed on the path beside us. We opened our eyes confused because there was no boulder, no evidence whatsoever that anything physical had just occurred. What followed was the typical experience many people have, when traveling to Lemuria.The two ladies had laid down on the stone benches and were fast asleep. Larry rubbed his eyes and saw a young couple walking past us on the path. He got very mad at them because, in his words, she was hundreds of years old and he was super young. He said “What is she doing with him, she's much too old for him!!” They actually looked like a regular normal couple, no obvious age difference really.I looked at Larry's arms, they were now bruised. He had hand mark bruises near his wrists. I checked his legs and the same marks were visible near his feet. His phone, which was disconnected to all networks, had the time as 11pm, but it was only 4pm in reality. The phone then converted to the right time when he took it off airplane mode which he had turned on when we arrived to save battery usage for use as a camera and clock. It had worked perfectly before and after the incident, yet while disconnected from the network it had measured 7 hours more time passing than the actual time wasHe was also starving and thirsty, although we had eaten just an hour earlier. One of the ladies said that she felt more rested than she had in a long time, and she was also very, very hungry. The other lady and I were not hungry at all, and we were rather tired.This all made sense after I closed my eyes and pulled up the memories of what had just happened. Our memories had been cleared of the events, but there were remnants of it.Before I said anything, one of the ladies said that she must not remember anything as it would be too painful for her to do so. Her daily life would lose all importance and she wouldn't be able to continue in her present life if she did. Her words were urgent, powerful, with deep conviction. The other lady said she thought she had had a nice nap. And Larry just got angry again.I waited until later to tell Larry about what I remembered of the incident.We indeed had visited with the Lemurians. And, yes, life in our part of the world lost a lot of color, flavor and meaning when I let the memories resurface. It was not easy.This is what I saw: as we were met at the portal, the Lemurians took us individually into their space. This was because, in their experience, when a group comes into their reality, each person can behave very, very differently and they like to be able to gently wake them (if the person chooses to do so), and deal with what happens in a gentle way. After the person gets their footing and deals with the experience, they are then introduced to the welcoming party. There is also food, and if wanted the person can have a tour of technologies or other things.The bruises on Larry's arms and legs had happened because they had to hold him down as he became very violent when he woke up there and I was not around. It got very out of control.One of the ladies had indeed stayed in the welcoming room and simply slept through the whole experience. The other lady, the one who said she did not want to remember, spent the time exploring, chatting and eating the delicious and colorful, life filled food they had prepared for us.When I reported our visit at a public level back then, many people asked me about their technology, did they have free energy? Stuff like that. But those types of things were not in my mind to ask at the time. I was more interested in their cooking, the fabric their clothes were made of and also their makeup. I was interested in their social discourse, how they communicated, why they had split from us, and how they managed society. Their lifespans, health, family structures, cities and such.The Lemurians are back in my awareness now, and Larry and I are giving a class about them which will include an exercise for us to reestablish our high-frequency links to them.IneliaThe discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.
