LIFELIHOOD.ZONE
INTRODUCTION
Lifelihood.Zone is focused 1) on Prem Rawat‘s offer and his efforts to make it known worldwide, 2) on collaboration among residents of the US southwestern state of New Mexico to make Prem Rawat‘s offer conveniently accessible statewide, and 3) on information for Prem Rawat about New Mexico as a multicultural intersection, the three largest groups being sovereign Native Americans and regionally variant Anglos and Hispanics. The cultural evolutions of these (and possibly other) groups in New Mexico have been marked by multiplier effects inherent in their national and international origins and continuing connections. The multiplier effects will accelerate awareness of Prem Rawat‘s offer as members of these New Mexico groups engineer events for him in the state. Contents:

PREM RAWAT: QUOTATIONS
Are you clear on why you are alive? Are you? To have a business? To have a house? To have children? Why? Why are you alive?….You are the host of that breath. You are the host. The breath. The breath is your guest. It is not some random deed that takes place….You are the host and the guest comes. Are you ready? Are you ready? To come in and with a singular purpose–a singular purpose to accept the arrival of the guest. And feel the joy. When you are waiting for a guest to come to your house, and when they finally come: “Yes! They’re here!” Yes, this breath is here. Yes, this life is here. Yes, this existence is here. Yes, my connection, my invitation to feel that divine is here. And this is what makes me so fortunate….Everything you see changes, changes, changes, changes, changes. And one thing that doesn’t change. Do you know for how long this has been playing out on the face of this earth, as the divine that resides in the heart of every single human being has been?….What I have to accept is the reality of me. My effort, my practice, my practice, your practice. I know some of you are very busy. You have this happening. You have that happening. This is taking place. That is taking place. This is important. That is important. Eventually, my friends, the time will come when all that has to be said goodbye to. All of it. Slowly the body that you were so proud of starts to fail….Where is the divine sitting? Not on top of a mountain! In your heart. Not in some temple. In your heart. In you! Do you know that? That’s how clarity begins. That’s how clarity begins. When you understand those things then nobody has to come and try to sell you enhancements to your existence….When this transformation will begin for you, things will change. Things will change. You will begin to feel how fortunate you are. Then the entire purpose of Knowledge of the self will bear fruit….So be, be that incredible, incredible being that you are. Be the most amazing host and welcome the guest with open arms. Your life. Your existence. You know, then, the preciousness of being. You know, then, what it means to be alive. Nobody has to explain it to you. — Prem Rawat; “The Guest,” Saturday, March 02, 2024, Mexico City, Mexico, video and audio (58:06); free video clip (00:06:17 – 00:08:40); quotations 00:36:04 – 00:36:45; 00:37:10 – 00:37:37; 00:39:07 – 00:40:35; 00:41:32 – 00:42:02; 00:43:00 – 00:43:53; 00:47:50 – 00:48:31; 00:50:20 – 00:50:53; 00:53:33 – 00:54:36; access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to Timeless Today.

Aren’t you, every day, trying to make your life better? Better? Better? Better? And have you succeeded? Have you succeeded? Have you succeeded? What is it that needs to be made better? You, or everything else in your life? So, trying to make everything else better in their life: you are not the first one. And you’re not going to be the last one. If you have a child, your child will do the same thing, his child will do the same thing, his child will do the same thing, his child will do the same thing, his child will do the same thing, till there is no more Earth. This is what everybody has tried to do. Make all the things better that don’t need to be better, because that’s not their nature to be better. It is so futile. So many people have said it’s like a wave. Things happen, and if things are going good, just wait. It’ll go bad. If things are going bad, just wait. It’ll go good. And it’s good and bad, and good and bad, and good and bad. And you will try to make it flat. People have been trying to improve the world since a very long time, and it has been billions and billions of people trying to do it, trying to do it, and trying to do it, and not succeeding, and not succeeding, and not succeeding. Forget about the world! Improve yourself. Make yourself a better person. We have to learn how to help ourselves so that this world can be full of people who like their betterment. Then it starts to become better, and better, and better, and better. — Prem Rawat; “The Student’s Reality,” October 22, 2023, Tokyo, Japan, video and audio (01:10:41); free video clip (00:43:56 – 00:45:15…00:49:14 – 00:50:14); quotations 00:11:50 – 00:12:00…12:49:00 – 00:13:05…00:16:17 – 00:17:28…00:20:29 – 00:21:05…00:50:18 – 00:50:36…00:52:18 – 00:52:25…01:06:35 – 01:07:06; access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to TimelessToday.

Inside every human being is a thirst–a thirst–to experience something beautiful. I’m not going to insult that feeling by giving it names that mean nothing to human beings, but I will call it by what it is. It is beautiful….I will call it with the name that my heart sings to say of what it is. But it is beautiful. But it is gentle. That it is complete. That when I experience that, I, too, become complete. Not because I have achieved something, but I felt something. It is as though I reached out and touched divinity, and I was complete. What is it described as? It’s described as simple as falling asleep without being asleep…That’s the journey I want every human being to take. Not the journey of confusion. You don’t know the hoops I have gone through to keep everything simple. And people wanted to hear complicated things, as they do now. They want to hear complicated things because that entertains your brain, the very thing that cannot be employed or deployed in feeling that feeling. It is that one thing that does not go in the realm of the heart. And the experience I am talking about comes from the heart. Now there are people who don’t believe in the heart. It’s only the mind. But there are times when even the mind falls still. It falls still. — Prem Rawat; author event, July 03, 2022, Berlin, Germany, video and audio (01:34:38); free video clip (29:18 – 30:15); quotations 30:35 – 31:31…35:40 – 36:49…37:27 – 39:00; access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to Timeless Today.

What is that war really like which happens on the inside? Does it have questions? Yes it does. Does it question its own answers? Yes, it does. Everything you come up with as an answer, it says, “No. It can’t be that.” It turns light into darkness. “Oh, you see some light? Let’s turn that off.” It pushes you toward what you know is wrong. You know it’s wrong, but it pushes you towards it, and it leaves you helpless. And all you have is you. All you have is your existence. All you have is you. You. Your strength. Not the logic of the world. Your strength. And you have to call upon the strength. Not to win. You have to call upon the strength to turn on the light. Just to turn on the light which, by the way, the confusion is trying to put out. That’s what it takes. And you see an incredible reality. You see an incredible reality of you being. That’s all. Being. The breath. You….And then, there is a joy. There is a joy. The joy of being alive that you can feel every single day. That’s what has been made possible. That’s what has been made possible. That’s what Knowledge is. Go inside every day….And that’s what gives you the total picture. That’s where you began. That’s where it ends. To me, that is so simple, profound, beautiful, incredible. That’s it. Problems? Gone. What is rendered? What is remaining? This breath. And I’m left with a gift–gift–of being alive. — Prem Rawat; “Your Only Relative,” Saturday, March 23, 2024, Lima, Peru; video and audio; free video clip (00:52:55 – 00:53:37; 00:56:25 – 00:56:51); quotations (22:32 – 26:52…56:24 – 57:01…01:00:11 – 01:01:24); access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to TimelessToday.

This is understanding the value of a spark, that it can begin a fire. That nothing is too little. Nothing is too unimportant. Everything is important. You being content is important. You not being in confusion is important. Now, people walk around in their confusion, like, “Yeah, I’ve been confused all my life. It’s okay.” People used to say that to me. They would ask me a question and they’d go, “I’m confused about this. I’ve been confused all my life. I’m still confused about this. Can you help me?” It’s like, Why are you confused? Why have you accepted confusion as norm. The fact that you get angry, why have you accepted that as norm? How many of you walk around and say, “Yeah, I get angry, so, big deal.” Is that what you like? If you don’t like it, you can do something about it. If you’re not kind, you can do something about it. That’s what this is all about. This is about this incredibly small time that you have on the face of this earth–to celebrate it. — Prem Rawat; The Traveler video and audio (01:05:44); Johannesburg, South Africa, May 07, 2022; free video clip (00:32:15 – 00:33:23); quotation (00:42:07 – 00:44:01); access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to Timeless Today.

In this world, so far you are on this earth, you are the guest. The divine is the host. In the heart–in the heart–you are the host. The divine is the guest….You need to have the guest taken care of. The divine. You need to live for today. Not tomorrow. Today. And in today you don’t have to have any ill feelings about this and that and this isn’t right and that’s not right and this happened–the long list of everything that is wrong. Right? So you came, and when you were that tiny little baby, how long was your list of wrongs? How long? And you have lived on this planet Earth for a while, now, right? How long is your list of wrongs? Long? Mistake number one. Don’t let–don’t ever let that list grow. You know, if you have to have a list of wrong, then this is what your wrong should be: That I have a list of wrongs. Anything. Even if it’s one thing. Just let it go! Know how to shake it loose. Somebody says something to you. You want to get upset about it, get upset. Time yourself….Ten minutes? Five minutes? Yeah, that’s enough. Move on. Because what do you want? Today or tomorrow? Tomorrow you can plot a lot of revenge. Today you’re too busy being happy. So live like that. Mind you, it’s not easy. No, no, no, no, no. Because there are people who really line up with you. They want to irritate you. And the more they can see you become irritated, the more they do it…. The divine has created this earth: blue skies, beautiful clouds, beautiful fruit, beautiful trees, beautiful rivers, beautiful oceans, and what do they talk about? Hell! With all this beauty, this is all you can see? Because you are a dealer for tomorrow. That’s what happens when you are a dealer for tomorrow. You should be busy with today. And today is about Knowledge. Today is about your breath. Today is about being conscious. Today is about joy. — Prem Rawat; “Today: The Bright Future,” Saturday, March 30, 2024, São Paulo, Brazil, video and audio (00:58:30); free video clip (00:35:22 – 00:36:13; 00:47:34 – 00:47:56); quotations (00:48:05 – 00:48:45; 00:50:59 – 00:53:11; 00:53:35 – 00:54:22; 00:54:51 – 00:55:33); access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to Timeless Today.

[T]here is a kind of love that every human being innately has. And that love is all about connection, connecting with the divine. Not some idea of the divine, but the divine, that divine that resides in the heart of every human being….[Y]ou, me, being alive, we have the opportunity to experience that divine. Now, this is no small matter. A flower blooms when we understand who we are. And this is a very unique flower. You can’t pick it. You can’t dry it out and get more seeds from it. No. The flower blooms when we experience who we are. And it’s a beautiful flower. And immediately, there are people who go, “I would like a whole garden full of these flowers.” You can’t do that. It won’t work. This is one flower, and if you let it, this flower will produce another flower, not like itself, but very different. And it will be the flower of gratitude. This flower will produce another flower. And it’ll be the flower of joy. This flower will produce another flower. And it’ll be the flower of clarity. A little bit different than the flowers that we are familiar with. ….[W]hen you have discovered the self, when you understand what the self is, you understand your connection with the divine. The day you have that Knowledge to be able to connect with yourself, the flower blooms…I can make that possible. I have made it possible for a lot of people. But I must ask you, is that what you want? — Prem Rawat; Heartful video (01.01:13) and audio (01:01:12); free video clip (00:46:10 – 00:47:00); quotations 00:01:09 – 00:01:46…00:03:33 – 00:05:34…00:10:15 – 00:11:22…00:52:25 – 00:52:43; access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to Timeless Today.

Understand, learn, learn to be human. To be human. A human being encompasses all those qualities that are essential, not only essential to what we call upkeep of the civilization, but also essential for the well-being of the self. A human being does not distance himself or herself from the divine but accepts the divine in their life every single day. Every single day, welcome the divine. Not distance. (When we distance ourselves from the divine, we distance ourselves from ourselves. And when we do, we fall prey to all those things–the anger, the fear, and everything else–that every human being has a dislike for.) You have, as a human being, an opportunity to experience that. That’s what this is about. This isn’t about going to the moon. This isn’t about going to Mars. Because where you’re about to go is more wonderful, more amazing, and farther than Mars, farther than — and it’s instant. Because you will become a part of everything that is. — Prem Rawat; Learn by Knowing; May 22, 2023 video and audio (01:06:03); Port Elizabeth, South Africa; free video clip (00:51:10 – 00:52:35); quotation 00:38:25 – 00:41:25; access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to Timeless Today.

Now the time has come that you need to forget one thing, and the thing that you need to forget is “What can I do?” Don’t say that. “What can I do? I’m just a little person. What can I do?” Don’t say that. Whatever you can do, do! Live harmoniously….The ones that we believe to be heroes were not. Now it is important–now what’s needed–are heroes like you. What’s needed is such human beings who are not caught up in greed, who every day hope and expect this peace, those who want peace in this world. Those who fill their hearts with gratitude, those who express their gratitude, that “Oh, creator, millions and millions of thanks to you, that you have given me this opportunity.” And they consider this life to be blessed. — Prem Rawat; Inspiration Tour; Ranchi, India, April 06, 2022 video (01:43:59); audio in Hindi only; free video clip (00:02:23) in Hindi only; quotations 01:36:04 – 01:36:39…01:41:06 – 01:42:02; access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to Timeless Today.

Quotations:
It can be surprising the tough judgments usually open-minded people make about others because they are different. Once, in Argentina, I was introducing a group of people to the techniques of self-knowledge (more on that in chapter 12). One of the facilitators working with me came up and said: “There’s a person here who should not receive Knowledge.” “Why not?” I asked. “Because she has just told me she’s a prostitute,” he said. I replied, “If she is a prostitute and you disapprove, don’t sleep with her. What does that have to do with giving her Knowledge?” Page 224, English-language edition; © Rawat Creations LLC.
For billions of years, we were floating around in the galaxy as dust particles. Then the great universal energy acted upon us, and we were given the opportunity to live this life here on this planet, for a flash of a moment in the long history of time. So, we have been given a vacation from being dust, and that vacation begins when we’re born and ends when we die. Every plant and creature alive are on vacation. And what a wonderful destination we’ve all been brought to. But do we know we are on this fabulous vacation? Are we getting the most from our time? Are we distracted from experiencing this life? Are we savoring all we can of this precious moment–this opportunity to experience a trillion different things before we return to being dust?…We will always be part of matter, but for this short time we have also been blessed with consciousness. We were given the temporary ability to feel and to understand, so the question is this: Are we enjoying our vacation? Pages 255-256, English-language edition; © Rawat Creations LLC.

Author’s Note excerpt:
…in preparation for this book, I decided to interview those who knew him well, and I met with everyone from his cook to his photographer, from his friends to his lifelong students. I taped conversations, I watched DVDs, and I read his talks that have been meticulously saved for posterity. Finally, after reviewing thousands of pages of interviews and media clippings, watching many of his taped addresses, and speaking to a multitude of people who knew him during different phases of his life, a picture began to emerge.
Doing justice to such a huge life was a daunting task for me. I realized early on that there was no way I could tell his story in its entirety, so I fashioned this book to paint a picture of an extraordinary man in love with life, whose one-pointed dedication to spreading the message of peace — a message his father entrusted to him when Maharaji [Prem Rawat] was eight years old — remains unadulterated and filled with promise. I feel enriched from having written about Maharaji [Prem Rawat], and in the spirit of his teachings, I feel honored to have helped in a small way to articulate his timeless message of peace. — Andrea Cagan, pages xi-xii.

PREM RAWAT: THE POSSIBILITY
There are people who heard about the possibility of Knowledge and broke down and started crying and crying, and they had no idea why they’re crying. And all it is, is something from the inside saying, “Thank you!” To you. To you! To you, of having found Knowledge. Found, not sold to an idea of. No, but having found Knowledge. Connection made. Like the weight of a thouisand mountains removed. The complicated simplified. And something so simple, so profound, made possible. But you have to, in your life, somehow find the courage–yeah, thousand problems on one scale and gratitude on the other. And have the courage to weigh it. Because you know what will happen. Nobody can be thankful for the problems, but you can be thankful for that gift of being alive. — Prem Rawat; Punta del Este, Uruguay; March 16, 2024, “Nothing Without Breath” video and audio (00:59:47); free video clip in English (00:07:48 – 00:10:05); quotation 00:33:16 – 00:36:05; access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to TimelessToday. Free complete videos and audios are also offered on a rotating basis. Prem Rawat quotations are © TimelessToday.
This is the land of empanadas. So there was a delicious spinach empanada. And I had it. And it was really good. Having that empanada and looking at the picture of an empanada. Do you think there is a difference? Now, let me tell you something. You have trained yourself to like the picture of the empanada more than the empanada. I’m sorry. That’s why you need a master. A living master! A living master!! The reason why you need a living master is because nobody will tell you–nobody will tell you this, that you have acquired a bad habit. — Prem Rawat; Punta del Este, Uruguay; March 16, 2024, “Nothing Without Breath” video and audio (00:59:47); free video clip in English (00:07:48 – 00:10:05); quotation 00:43:44 – 00:45:26; access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to TimelessToday.

I am full. I’m not full because of some thing. But I have found the fullness of my clarity in me. I have taken that plunge and dove in. And loved. I know I did not touch the bottom. And for as far as I could see, I saw clarity. There’s no end. And if that wasn’t enough, I’ve taken a dive in the ocean of kindness, and I did not touch the bottom. I didn’t even try. And I was overwhelmed by its vastness. I am full because I have been shown the fullness of this life. This is what you should do, too. I tell you this – I tell you this because if I can do it, you can do it. — Prem Rawat; Barcelona, Spain; May 26, 2019, “Project: Gratitude” video (01:16:54) and audio (01:16:48); free video clips in English (00:01:00), French (00:01:14), and Spanish (00:01:00); quotation 40:30-42:25; access other complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to TimelessToday. Free complete videos are also offered on a rotating basis. Prem Rawat quotations are © TimelessToday.
Are you ready to have a love in which the divine is never going to make one little sound. No approval. No disapproval. No nothing. Just deafening silence. And that’s it. Deafening silence, but not empty. That’s what you’re gonna [going to] get from the divine. Full, but not a word. Are you ready for a relationship like that? Yeah, I bet you are. That way, no arguments, right? No, no, no, no, no. It takes incredible surrender–incredible surrender–because it takes incredible devotion. Not ideas, but devotion. And then, something that is very real takes place. And it’s not the solution of the problem but it is the embracement of life. That’s when you embrace life. That’s when you find gratitude. That’s when you find gratitude in your heart. This is the possibility for you. This is the possibility for you. — Prem Rawat; Punta del Este, Uruguay; March 16, 2024, “Nothing Without Breath” video and audio (00:59:47); free video clip in English (00:07:48 – 00:10:05); quotation 00:47:42 – 00:50:52; access complete videos or audios through a “premier” or a “classic” subscription to TimelessToday.

NEW MEXICO
Most of New Mexico has a relatively mild high-desert climate, including the largest city, Albuquerque, centrally located in the mid-Rio Grande Valley.
High-technology cultures symbolized, for example, by Spaceport America, Sandia National Laboratories, and Los Alamos National Laboratory, coexist in New Mexico with equally complex centuries-old Hispanic cultures, for example, El Santuario de Chimayo shrine and the village of Córdova, and with descendants of equivalently sophisticated and even older Native American cultures. These cultures in turn coexist and overlap in New Mexico with popular culture, for example, the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, which attracts worldwide participants and sightseers, and the annual Santa Fe Indian Market, which attracts participants from across the US and Canada and buyers and sightseers worldwide.
return to Introduction
NEW MEXICO: HIGHWAY CONNECTIONS
Albuquerque is well-linked nationally to the south-central and southwestern US. Interstate highway I-40 connects Albuquerque east to Amarillo, Texas, and on to Oklahoma City, the Oklahoma state capital; I-40 connects Albuquerque west to Flagstaff, Arizona, and on to Greater Los Angeles, California. Interstate highway I-25 connects Albuquerque north to Santa Fé, the New Mexico state capital, and on to Denver, the Colorado state capital. I-25 connects Albuquerque south to Las Cruces, New Mexico, where it connects with I-10 west to Tucson, Arizona, northwest to Phoenix, the Arizona state capital, then west to Greater Los Angeles, California.
New Mexico shares more than half of its southern border with Texas, east from the twin cities of El Paso, Texas — Cíudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. To the west, New Mexico shares about one-third of its southern border with the north-central Mexican state of Chihuahua and a short stretch with the north-central Mexican state of Sonora.
Interstate highway I-25 connects Albuquerque south to Las Cruces, New Mexico, continues south as I-10 to the twin cities of El Paso, Texas — Cíudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México, and resumes as interstate-level highway 45 to Chihuahua (City), the capital of the state of Chihuahua, centrally located among northern-tier Mexican states (Coahuila and Tamaulipas to the east and Sonora and Baja California to the west). Interstate highway I-10 west from Las Cruces, New Mexico, connects at Casa Grande, Arizona (between Tucson, Arizona, and Phoenix, Arizona), with interstate highway I-8 west to Yuma, Arizona, and on to the twin cities of San Diego, California – Tijuana, Baja California, México.

NEW MEXICO: COMMERCIAL AVIATION CONNECTIONS
The largest commercial aviation facility in New Mexico is the Albuquerque International Sunport, served by these airlines: Advanced, Alaska, American, Boutique, Delta, jetBlue, Southwest, Spirit, and United.
Direct flights between Albuquerque and out-of-state US destinations include Atlanta, Georgia; Austin, Texas; Baltimore, Maryland/Washington, DC; Burbank, California; Chicago/Midway, Illinois; Chicago/O’Hare, Illinois; Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas; Dallas/Fort Worth International, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Houston/George Bush, Texas; Houston/William P. Hobby, Texas; Kansas City, Kansas; Las Vegas, Nevada; Long Beach, California; Los Angeles, California; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota; New York/John F. Kennedy; Orlando/International, Florida; Phoenix/Sky Harbor, Arizona; Portland, Oregon; Salt Lake City, Utah; San Antonio, Texas; San Diego, California; San Francisco International, California; San Francisco/Oakland, California; and Seattle/Tacoma, Washington.
Direct flights between Albuquerque and in-state destinations include Carlsbad, Las Cruces, and Silver City.
return to Introduction
NEW MEXICO: GENERAL AVIATION FACILITIES
The Albuquerque International Sunport‘s general aviation facility is the Double Eagle II Airport (DEII), about eight miles north of interstate highway I-40 atop Nine Mile Hill on Albuquerque’s West Mesa, 5,834 feet above mean sea level. DEII includes about 240 based aircraft and some 120,000 annual operations comprising private, charter, and corporate flights, training, military, and air ambulance. See detailed DEII pilot information at AirNav.com.
DEII fixed base operator Bode Aero Services, open 7:00 a m – 7:00 p m every day with 24-hour call out available, offers a pilot lounge, 24-hour self-serve and full-serve AvFuel 100LL AvGas and Jet-A fuel (premixed with Prist anti-icing fuel additive), aircraft maintenance, oxygen service, GPU (Ground Power Units), weather briefing stations, avionics, tie-downs, and T- and bay hangers. Catering service, rates with nearby hotels, and rental cars are available upon request; view on Google Maps.
Though New Mexico is the fifth-largest US state (after Alaska, Texas, California, and Montana), New Mexico ranks 37th among all states in population, slightly more than 2,113,000 (2023 estimate), between the far smaller states of Kansas (36th in population) and Nebraska (38th in population). Further, despite their lesser geographical sizes, Kansas has about two hundred more airports (367) and Nebraska nearly sixty-five more airports (232) than does New Mexico (168).
Countervailing these numerical deficits, New Mexico typically has favorable aviation weather year-round, and New Mexico‘s population is concentrated in the state’s central counties (Bernalillo, Los Alamos, Santa Fe, Sandoval, and Valencia), south-central counties (Doña Ana, Luna, and Otero), southeastern counties (Chavez, Eddy, and Lea), and in the northwestern county of San Juan.
Should Prem Rawat choose to travel in New Mexico by helicopter, during a single trip to the state he could hold an event in each of the four geographically dispersed population centers, with nearly all of New Mexico‘s general population feasibly able to attend. Their positive reactions to this in-person contact, joining those whose shared resolve while building the events multiplied their reach, would further boost awareness of Prem Rawat‘s offer.
The Window Rock Airport, owned by the Navajo Nation, is the general aviation facility nearest the Navajo Nation Council Chamber, 1.15 miles south of the central business district of Window Rock, Arizona. Window Rock Airport covers an area of 88 acres at an elevation of 6,742 feet above mean sea level. The airport has one runway designated 2/20 with an asphalt surface measuring 7,000 by 75 feet. Window Rock Airport detailed pilot information at AirNav.com.
The closest alternative to Window Rock Airport and the Navajo Nation Council Chamber is the Four Corners Regional Airport in Farmington in the state‘s northwestern corner county of San Juan. Four Corners Regional Airport detailed pilot information at AirNav.com.
Other general aviation facilities: in north-central New Mexico, the Santa Fe Municipal Airport, Santa Fe County; detailed pilot information at AirNav.com; in southeast-central New Mexico, the Roswell International Air Center, Chavez County; detailed pilot information at AirNav.com and, in southeastern New Mexico, the Lea County Regional Airport near Hobbs in Lea County; detailed pilot information at AirNav.com.

NEW MEXICO: EVENT AND OTHER OUTREACH FACILITIES
Among central New Mexico event facilities in Bernalillo County are the Albuquerque Convention Center, Balloon Museum, Balloon Fiesta Park, BioPark, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center, Isleta Amphitheater, National Hispanic Cultural Center, New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science , Popejoy Hall, and Tingley Coliseum.
Among event facilities in north-central New Mexico are, in Santa Fe County, the New Mexico State Legislature (see primarily Buchanan Gardens Tour) in Santa Fe; in far north and western Rio Arriba County near Abiquiu, Ghost Ranch Education & Retreat Center; and in far north and central Taos County, the Taos Convention Center in Taos.
Among event facilities in southwest-central New Mexico are, in Socorro County, the Macey Conference Center (see also here) at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT) in Socorro; and in far southwest-central Doña Ana County, the Corbett Center Student Union (see also here) at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces.
return to Introduction
NEW MEXICO: ANGLOS
The state’s diverse Anglo population is primarily due to nearly 175 years of in-migration 1) after New Mexico became a US Territory in 1850, absorbing migrants from the flow of US nineteenth-century westward expansion, and 2) following statehood in 1912, when in-migration was boosted and further diversified as New Mexico became an attractive Sunbelt retirement destination.
These transplanted Anglos have sometimes expected living in such a robustly multicultural state to be as “enchanting” as New Mexico‘s official “Land of Enchantment” nickname.
But even Spanish-speaking Anglos have occasionally found less-than-expected acceptance by New Mexico‘s native Spanish-speakers.
Explicit limitations characterize Anglo friendships and marriages with traditionally reared Native Americans, whose groups are intensely protective of their unique customs, institutions, and languages. Anglo (and other) outsiders must accept being barred — regardless of interpersonal ties — from learning details of and participating in significant aspects of the cultures of these Native American spouses and friends.
But because the forbidden Native American cultural disclosures are categoric, outsiders understand they’re “nothing personal, just [cultural] business,” to neutrally recast a famous quotation from 1930s US organized crime euphemisms. These individually uncrossable chasms of the unknowable and the unshareable can therefore be bridged with mutual respect.
Overall, despite linguistic expectations and realities at the margin and regardless of forbidden Native American cultural disclosures to outsider friends and spouses, Anglos in New Mexico can widely partake of and participate in the state’s multicultural mixtures — more accurately said, “blendings.”
To illustrate, it’s impossible to live in New Mexico without automatically “picking up” some Spanish in big-box stores while immersed in one of the always-on storewide corporate “radio stations” broadcasting bilingual songs and bilingual advertising, interspersed with call-in corporation-wide “talk radio” by customers and employees (usually in English), all regularly interrupted with in-store requests for customer assistance in various departments. The requests may be bilingual or in Spanish when the customer needing assistance is primarily Spanish-speaking, the request being directed at bilingual employees.
In addition, Spanish-language radio stations are sprinkled across the frequencies, along with UHF-channel television news-weather-sports (the last filled with “fútbol,” US soccer in English), and Spanish-language soap operas, their frequent conversational “pregnant pauses” helpful for Spanish-language learners to “keep up.” A plethora of on line Spanish language courses are available (the basics usually free). Spanish courses are part of school curricula, and conversations in colloquial Spanish are free for the eavesdropping everywhere.
In daily life, even barely borderline Spanish-speakers and barely borderline English-speakers often have spontaneous “conversations” — asking for and giving directions, disclosing personal experiences with items and places, etc. These sometimes grammatically humorous Spanglish interactions, especially entertaining to bystanders who can’t hear the words but are bemused by the exaggerated body language-hand gestures used when vocabulary and syntax fail, nonetheless generally leave both sides proud of themselves for having “spoken” the other’s language and respecting the other’s reciprocal efforts.
return to Introduction
NEW MEXICO: HISPANICS
The names “New Mexico” and “Mexico” derive from ancient Nahuatl roots. Through the vast trade networks of the ancestral Puebloans, legends spread across the Nahuatl-speaking Mexica Empire in the Valley of Mexico and the rest of Mesoamerica of an unseen, older northern empire with riches rivaling the Mexica‘s own. A 1609 Nahuatl-language Crónica Mexicayotl made explicit this connection, in which the legendary northern empire is called Yancuic Mexico, literally “a new Mexico.”
The legends of this prosperous “new Mexico” became the primary sources for the Seven Cities of Gold myth spurring exploration of the contemporary New Mexico region by Spanish conquistadors following their conquest in 1521 of a confederation of the three city-states later commonly called the Aztec Empire: Tenochtitlán (city-state of the Mexica), Texcoco, and Tlacopan.
Hispanic residents of the nation of Mexico adopted its name in 1821 upon winning independence from Spain.
Regardless of name origins and parallel to Anglo in-migration, Hispanic in-migration — predominantly from the northwestern Mexico states of Chihuahua, Sonora, and Baja California Sur — has continued unabated since New Mexico‘s days as a US Territory.
The Government of Mexico maintains a consulate in Albuquerque. In turn, the Albuquerque consulate maintains outreach services throughout New Mexico via a consulado móvil program.
The state legislature is constitutionally empowered to publish laws in English and Spanish and to appropriate funds for translation. Amendments to the New Mexico constitution must be approved by referendum printed on the ballot in English and in Spanish, certain legal notices must be published in English and in Spanish, and the state maintains a list of newspapers for Spanish publication.
In the judiciary, witnesses and defendants have the right to testify in English or in Spanish, and monolingual Spanish speakers have the same right to be considered for jury duty as do English speakers.
In public education, the state has the constitutional obligation to provide bilingual education and Spanish-speaking instructors in school districts where the majority of students are Hispanophone.
In 1995, the state adopted an official bilingual song, “New Mexico – Mi Lindo Nuevo México.”
return to Introduction
NEW MEXICO: NATIVE AMERICANS
Native Americans in what is now New Mexico of course predate by centuries Hispanic, Anglo, and other arrivals.
The state constitution accommodates Native American languages, providing that all residents who speak neither English nor Spanish have a right to vote, to hold public office, and to serve on juries.
In 1989, New Mexico became the first of only four states to officially adopt the English Plus resolution, which supports acceptance in the US of non-English languages. In 2008, New Mexico was the first state to officially adopt a Navajo textbook for use in public schools.
Of the twenty-three sovereign Native American groups with lands in New Mexico, the Navajo Nation has the most territory, some 27,325 square miles (70,770 square kilometers) across three of the Four Corners states. By comparison, the Navajo Nation territory is slightly larger than the eastern US state of West Virginia. The Navajo are also the most populous Native American group in the state and in the US. As would be expected, Navajo is the most widely spoken Native American language in the US and is the third most spoken language in New Mexico (and in the adjoining Four Corners state of Arizona) after English and Spanish.
The other sovereign Native American groups in New Mexico include three Apache (Fort Sill; Jicarilla; and Mescalero) and nineteen Puebloan: (Acoma; Cochiti; Isleta; Jemez; Laguna; Nambé; Ohkay Owingeh; Picuris; Pojoaque; Sandia; San Felipe; San Ildefonso; Santa Ana; Santa Clara; Santo Domingo; Taos; Tesuque; Zia; and Zuni.
Just as retirees to New Mexico from across the US maintain ties to relatives and friends in their home states, as high-tech researchers in New Mexico from countries worldwide maintain personal ties in those countries and professional ties in still other countries, and as in-migrating Hispanics often take pride in rearing their children to be bilingual and bicultural by spending significant time each year with friends and relatives in Mexico, so too Native Americans in New Mexico maintain personal and organizational ties to those elsewhere in the US and in Canada, for example, through the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) and the annual Gathering of Nations Pow Wow and Miss Indian World Pageant in Albuquerque .

LIFELIHOOD.ZONE
Lifelihood.Zone is a personal, independent, unaffiliated site, tuned and updated continually.
Awareness of Lifelihood.Zone is spread primarily person-to-person, beginning with a high-quality business card imprinted Lifelihood.Zone.
Upon gathering during multiple encounters or perceiving during a serendipitous encounter that a person might be receptive to Prem Rawat‘s offer, the card is presented neutrally, for example, “You might find this person of interest.”
Recipient requests for details are deflected, for example, with a shrug and a smile and saying, “Your experience is the only one that counts.” Prem Rawat can speak for himself, and the card recipient can read and listen less encumbered with expectations.
A recipient experiencing value in Prem Rawat‘s offer might pass the card to another, and so on. A high-quality card retains its patina unaffected by multiple handlings.
Five cards to an address can be ordered at no charge through service@lifelihood.zone; orders can be repeated every thirty days. Orders for more than or fewer than five cards are not accepted.
Instead of a card, friends and family might be given a copy of Hear Yourself on a birthday or other gift-appropriate occasion, with a note expressing hope the friend or family member also enjoys the book. Whatever synonym or phrase might substituted for “enjoy,” remember to let Prem Rawat speak for himself.
New Mexico residents wanting to help build a foundation in the state for events with Prem Rawat are encouraged to create independent sites for developing resources in their areas or for their groups, and they might want to apply to have their site listed in i4joy. Upon request, an independent site link would be prominently displayed in Lifelihood.Zone. Independent site creators also are welcome to host and curate area or group resource sections in Lifelihood.Zone as portals to their sites. And they are welcome to host and curate area or group resource sections in Lifelihood.Zone without creating independent sites (offer to create-curate an area-group resource section through service@lifelihood.zone).
Or, Lifelihood.Zone can simply be used as a personal resource to stay abreast of developments across New Mexico, for example, nearby Knowledge sessions and local events. All contacts with Lifelihood.Zone are considered confidential by default and are released in whole or in part only as specified by the owner of the information. No one contacting Lifelihood.Zone is pressured to participate; stated differently, participation is considered to be solely a personal decision.
Ongoing Lifelihood.Zone translations and hostings are welcome in any language and are especially sought in Spanish and in the orthographies of Native American groups in New Mexico. All translation-hostings will be displayed co-equally in Lifelihood.Zone (offer a translation-hosting through service@lifelihood.zone).
Events in New Mexico with Prem Rawat could be, as examples, for staff and patients at hospitals and other healthcare facilities; for college and university students, faculty, and staff; for imprisoned populations and staff at venues such as the Penitentiary of New Mexico; for culture-specific populations at venues such as the Navajo Nation Council Chamber; for law enforcement trainees and staff at venues such as the New Mexico Law Enforcement Academy; for members of the military such as the New Mexico State Defense Force; for veterans; and for members of the New Mexico Legislature. Prem Rawat might also conduct Knowledge sessions and reviews and Intelligent Existence focus sessions in New Mexico.
These events would have maximum reach and coverage if well-timed, for example, adjoining internationally attended popular culture events such as the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, adjoining or during college and university breaks, and by avoiding congruence with regional popular culture events such as the New Mexico State Fair, Hispanic events such as Cinco de Mayo celebrations, and Native American dances and feast days.
