“Statue Day” June 22ne 2026

On a Sunday, when we placed the new Ancestor Statues in Campuan. Sharing by April Crawford-Smith June 22nd 2026

Coming close to being able to write about yesterday will be difficult I feel, but the sake of sharing my heart with the world, I’ll give it a try. I’m going call it “Statue Day”. The day that the new Campuan statues were placed in their Earthly home. One of the best days of my life.

It was Oneness epitomised.

Community. Family. Laughter. Love.

My ultimate day of the best expression or form of me. Doing physical labour in nature with my friends who are so happy and loving with Gde | Ratu watching over us and providing all the energy and support we needed to create miracles right there and then.

We danced in the Energy for hours and hours. For me it was from about 11am to 6pm. But really the time stretched into eternity, into oblivion, into everythingness so that there was really nothing else but what was.

I moved rocks in weights well beyond what I can normally carry or shift. There was of course a limit to what I could move, but for the most part, I felt like I could choose a rock and it would come with me to the place it needed to rest, to live, to mould into the new world we created there. The river was partially redirected to allow for the statues to be placed in either side of the entrance to the Waterfall. A king on the left and a queen on the right.

The king went into place very easily, with 12 or so men carrying it on all sides until it was upright. Then came the queen which took a little bit more time as the metal rods pushing into the base were getting stuck on the material inside the statue. But she found her place in the end, amongst the trees and plants surrounding the waterfall.

We then found small rocks and mixed them with concrete to pour into the bodies of the statues so that they would stand strong and tall. The men were governing the process sweetly and with laughter, and I found small gaps wherever I could to keep them supplied with materials or water etc.

We stayed in the river for almost the whole time, aside for some lunch and the occasional dash to the toilet. What a day and they look absolutely incredible now. The next step is to paint them!

After the work was over, we sat in the river with Gde | Ratu while he laughed and shared and loved us all, I was sitting on the steps, but then moved into the water where I felt the electricity generating from his body and the waterfall vibrating each and every one of my cells. Hot kopi was passed around to everyone, that was greatly appreciated and still we laughed and sat together, I could feel us all being regenerated and filled up from such a beautiful day of physical labour.

And then, just when we thought we’d had all the magic the universe could offer us, we went into the waterfall with Gde | Ratu. The women went first, I held back, to build the energy in my body and let the young ones go first, charging myself and the space with our singing and our love.

When it came to my turn I felt only light, such lightness on my sore shoulders, and then was rocketed backwards into the water, with the men making sure I didn’t crash into the wall of the waterfall with my crazy movements. I was grateful for their help, although a little embarrassed 😛

Gde | Ratu went under the waterfall and the light that sprayed everywhere was literally visible. Utterly incredible. Everyone ducked under the water when his body was under the waterfall, taking it in turns t be close to him for that minute or so.

We sang and sang and I laughed until my ribs cracked, and I thought I would cough up a lifetime of mucous, but never mind, all process leaving me in the love of the moment.

We sang again and sat for a peaceful few moments with our hero, the love surrounding us, all completely sopping and grinning with the universe of love in our faces, everyone in blissful surrender, soaked to the skin and infinitely joyful.

Gde | Ratu motioned to us that it was time to go, so we all rose after him, in unison and love to jump into dry clothes or put fresh sarongs on, although the only thing I had was a dry t-shirt which didn’t do much for the shivering! We ate some leftover makan which helped me come back into my body, thank you Ratu, and sat for another little bit with Gde until it was time for him to go upstairs and change to prepare to leave for Denpasar.

Our little hearts broke a tiny bit when Gde and everyone else left through the big gates, but being together and integrating with a hot cup of Ratu tea and sharing in the miracles helped take another step forward on this infinite journey. So that this magical day of Oneness and joy could be continued in another form, another time, another place, which is to say past present future, all One, all the same, all love and all us.

Suksema Ratu, I love you with all that I am, because I am you and you are Me. Suksema Ratu for your incredible Son who shares his love and yours daily, with so much humility and grace. We couldn’t have asked for a better One to carry the mission into the next phase of your great plan.

With humility and utter gratitude Ratu, until next time
