The Tahiti Joke... coming true (part 1)

Since I decided to fast 23 days on water in Costa Rica in January 2005: things have been manifesting like crazy, in fact, my whole life has unfolded at a fast pace in the most amazing way

But I don’t believe in things happening for no reason. In fact, I know exactly why I’ve been able to manifest all these things in my life. I know the exact process that took place and I will show it to you soon.

But for now, I just want to share one of these cool manifestations.

I just came back from what most people would consider the trip of a lifetime: 2 weeks in French Polynesia in the South Pacific with my buddy Andrew, visiting enchanting and magical islands with names that have made many dream of escaping to paradise: Tahiti, Bora Bora, Rangiroa, Moorea, and Huahine.

This totally exotic vacation was not something I have planned. It just happened. But before I get into that, let me explain a little bit where French Polynesia is and what there is to do there.

Before I went to Tahiti, I thought it was just an island in the South Pacific where people speak French.

Actually, Tahiti is one island among hundreds that are part of French Polynesia, an oversea department of France located in the South Pacific, pretty much in the middle of nowhere, or about 4000 kilometers southeast of Hawaii.

French Polynesia itself is about the size of Europe and is comprised of 5 archipelagos. The most famous islands are located in the Society Islands archipelago, and include Tahiti (the biggest and most populous island), Bora Bora and Moorea, among many others.

The other archipelagos in French Polynesia are the Tuamotus, the Marquesas, The Austral Group, and the Gambier.

In total, there are about 220,000 people living in French Polynesia, most of them from Polynesian descent. And yes, everybody speaks French, although the native tongue of most people is Tahitian.

In those islands you will find the most beautiful lagoons in the world, with turquoise water so beautiful you don’t even think such a place can still exist.

Some of the islands in French Polynesia are the farthest away from any continent — adding to the mystery and exoticism that surrounds this place.

By the way, French Polynesia is also referred to as Tahiti and Her Islands.

So how did I end up there with my old American buddy Andrew? Like I said before, I did not plan to go there. It just happened.

But the manifestation of this dream goes back to a few years ago when my friend Andrew and I kept joking about Tahiti. I can’t really explain the entire joke because it’s the sort of humor that’s only understandable to us, but basically it involved how we would escape North America, go to Tahiti, and some other juvenile details that are not appropriate to share in mixed company...

Anyway, I think I’m the one who started the Tahitian joke, but basically it seemed to me like the most exotic location I could imagine — so that’s how it came to be.

So we joked a lot about going to Tahiti — to the point where it seemed we had to go there one day.

But after my friend Andrew went back to the States, the dream became quite distant, and since Andrew didn't exactly have the kind of budget necessary to go there, making that Tahiti trip happen looked like something we had to put off until after we both got married, our kids grew up to be independent, and hoping that in spite of the world running out of oil, flying to exotic locations is still possible at this point.

TO BE CONTINUED... (Learn how I scuba dived with about 40 sharks (not in a cage...), overdosed on coconuts and more!

Hi Frederic!
Thanks so much for your books and letters! This Tahiti trip is yet another inspiration! It's great you got there while still young! BTW: Don't worry, the earth won't run out of oil! (Although we may find a cleaner fuel!) You, of all people, must know there is no lack!
All the best! Nancy (Warsaw,MO)
