Numero Uno

Siddhananda: This one… (holding up a rock). Why am I hearing, “Numero uno” with a Spanish accent?

G: Numero uno! (laughing, eyes wide open)

Siddhananda: "Numero uno! Que sabias?" I don’t know all this stuff! (throwing her hands up in the air)

G: We need a translator.

Siddhananda: Isn’t sabia knowing?

G: Sabias, knowing, yeah, do you understand.

Siddhananda: Understand, that’s understanding…

G: Understand, yeah, sabias.

Siddhananda: Okay so…

G: Don’t challenge me. I know I’m going to Mexico, but, you know, give me a break! (smiling)

Siddhananda: There you go, an opportunity here… Now we’re getting foreign languages here!

G: How good is your Spanish? (grimacing)

Siddhananda: It’s good to know… I mean, really, maybe, is there a translator that can come up in my head and click and type in there (pointing to head).

G: We need it, that’s it, we need a translator here. I don’t know how great my Spanish is so we’ll have to see.

Siddhananda: Okay! We’ll see if there’s anymore Spanish here. I’m getting some Mexican imagery and Spanish… Numero Uno! (sitting upright with pride and laughing)

G: (laughing)

Siddhananda: I’m hearing that, “Numero uno!”

G: Well, number one. What else can you tell us other than that? (laughing) I’m sure we have a little more else to share other than number one.

Siddhananda: I do hear, “I want to go…” What’s that kind of, I think, that movie where they have that big round (drawing circles with her finger)… the red O. “I want to go to O.” But, what is that movie…

G: Oh… I don’t remember the name.

Siddhananda: He stood up with the black cape, I don’t know.

G: Yeah, I don’t remember the name.

Siddhananda: I don’t know. Anyway, the zero is there.

G: The zero is there.

Siddhananda: They want to go zero.

G: Okay, well that part we can help you with. (laughing)

Siddhananda: That’s what they are trying to say by that. It’s just funny how it came up in a Spanish feeling.

G: In Spanish… we’re all doing bullfighting here today (holding her fists like she’s waving a flag to a charging bull).

Siddhananda: Matador!

G: Matador!

Siddhananda: Zero!

G: And yeah… (laughing)

Siddhananda: Numero uno! Okay, so yeah, they would like to go zero.

G: Okay, and has he been doing any practices at all? Has he had anything yet?

Siddhananda: (long pause) I think he’s just been doing more sitting and connecting, you know, these kinds of things. He’s saying "no master."

G: Yeah, okay, he can start with the “OM,” hear the sound of the universe, connect with the sound of the universe, the flow of that. He can do the “I Am That I Am” with the eyes closed, the “Om That I Am” with the eyes open, seeing... And he can also have the COS.

Siddhananda: Wow, nice!

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: He’s drinking all that in. I do see a sombrero. (laughing) I’m sorry, it’s just a funny thing.

G: Now we’re going to have the Mexican hat dance next! (laughing)

Siddhananda: (gesturing throwing of a hat)

G: Hats off!

Siddhananda: It’s a very festive feeling. It’s very nice. Gosh, I’m hearing… I just have the feeling… everything about it. It’s very nice! You’re lucky you are going there soon.

G: Bring nachos with me!

Siddhananda: Don’t say it! My gosh, I’ll start tasting them, smelling them. (laughing) Oh, he’d like some, too, he says.

G: Now he’s going to make me hungry for some Mexican food.

Siddhananda: Pedro.

G: Pedro?

Siddhananda: Pedro, that’s his name.

G: I used to know a Pedro.

Siddhananda: (laughing) You knew a Pedro?

G: I used to know a Pedro.

Siddhananda: Did you?

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: Interesting.

G: Unfortunately, he passed. He was one of the Carillo brothers that were tight rope walkers.

Siddhananda: Oh, he passed?

G: Unfortunately, he fell off the wire and died.

Siddhananda: Oh my goodness, not good.

G: Yeah, a very tough occupation. But, Pedro..

Siddhananda: This was a Pedro?

G: Yeah.

Siddhananda: (going back to the spirit) So he’s grateful.

G: Well, thank you for coming Pedro.

Siddhananda: Yeah!

G: You’ll have to check in again once in awhile and bring the festive [feeling]... bring a piñata next time.

Siddhananda: It was a good feeling. I could feel that authentic Mexican feeling in myself, which was wonderful. I love that!

G: You got a mini vacation, huh?

Siddhananda: That wasn’t… nothing close to going but, for goodness sake, he had that whole essence about him. It was really nice (laughing)! We don’t know. I mean, of course, I speak other languages and other things here, you know, right? (laughing) I don’t know how far I can go with that. I can only transmit what I can and am able to put together. Okay!

G: Pedro was fun though.

Siddhananda: Really fun! He had great energy. I could feel the energy of his connection with his family and everything.

G: Yeah, in the Spanish culture it’s very, very…

Siddhananda: His mother…

G: …family centered, yeah, extremely family centered.

Siddhananda: She’s of the hearth, in the heart of the whole thing. Really nice!

G: It’s a nice culture.
