Happy group at Congress…

I now have a secret source, my very own Deep Throat, we’re calling him the FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, and he promises to bring the real juice of Congress…

The WSC meetings are working reasonably well. Not too much time wasted on circular discussions. Anthony, the Subud Australia chair, is awesome. Final decisions which are emerging are also excellent in my opinion. Great feeling of God’s grace in both Palangkaraya and Rungan Sari.

There was a lovely moment when the USA delegate put forward a proposal that there should be another level of governance in the archives. There was consternation in the room and the USA delegate graciously withdrew the proposition.

Subud Indonesia has pulled it all together beautifully. 150 strong team of Indonesians working in transport and other roles. Indonesian government is providing full police and riot security in Rungan Sari. They want to make sure we are safe.

The whole Congress is superbly organised. We are so spoiled! Everyone is so friendly.

Testing throughout the Congress has been really clear. By God’s grace, the delegates had been given enough energy to work despite the long days.

There are at least five viruses having a party amongst us and a number of people have fallen quite ill. Fortunately, I have recovered.

A Congress highlight was the testing for the Youth Coordinators. Five people were standing with the aim that one man and one woman would be selected. They were all young people, probably in their 20s. After testing the International Helpers announced that all five should work together as coordinators. The room burst into spontaneous applause

I have been working 8-hour days, come home and go to bed, to wake up fresh for the next day. I am observing and monitoring my experience day by day at Congress,

In the cool of the evening, I relax in the jungle at Rungan Sari, smoking a kretek.
