Time, Space and Astrology in Bali

This is in the video-essay style as it ranges freely across several subjects, mainly astrology in Bali and the locational astrology of Chaplin, Spies and Bonnet, but also be prepared for the weaving in of megaliths, temple architecture, mythology, art, psychology, performance and travelogue commentary. I think Montaigne is the originator of this personal essay form and if he had had a You Tube channel his style would be deep and meandering in this manner, but with all the added visuals. It's really a meditation on Bali and all that I learned there and I feel happy that I managed to get there and see for myself what the mystique is all about. Even David Bowie wanted his ashes scatted over Bali. Now I know why.

I'll do another one just inspired by 'where the waters flow'. All about Bali. So watch out for that to follow.
Just to be clear - it did not come across clearly- the calculation is 6 x 35 = 210 and the 7 is matched to the 5 days of the week to form the 35 day month.

Deep thanks is due to all the people I met in Bali who helped me scratch the surface and explore this island and who bothered to answer my bothersome questions. Thanks to Didi in Ubud, and Ngourah at Danaas Guest house on https://www.facebook.com/ngurahgusti70
