At home in Texas I adhere to a strict low carb diet. Meat, poultry, fish, eggs and cheese with green leafy vegetables are my primary diet. While in Vesoko, Bosnia at the pyramid complex I elected to eat what was served to me... potatoes, tasty breads, natural juice drinks, desserts and pyramid water of course. After a week of that diet in Texas I would have gained at least 5 pounds likely 10. When I returned to weigh I had not gained an ounce and my glucose level is still low !

Due to vocal chord damage I received during heart surgery years ago I usually need to rest my voice for several hours before giving a lecture or interview. In the week at the pyramid site my voice did not weaken at all... for the first time daily, for a number of years now. 

I attribute these benefits to the pure air and some of the world's most energetically alive waters in the pyramids. No wonder Dr. Sam looks and seems younger than when I first met him some 15 years ago.

I recommend this Annual Conferences & Festival highly.

A Dedication to Our Beloved Sunny
(September 15, 2012 – June 11, 2025)

They say: “A dog is a man’s best friend,” “the most loyal, most faithful,” “the grief over a dog is incomparable to any other.”
They say the royal standard poodle is the second most intelligent dog breed, right after the border collie. They say they live 10–15 years. They say, “they almost talk.” And that they understand up to 1,000 words. They say the sorrow of losing a beloved pet is so deep that owners often never get another dog—to avoid going through such pain again.

What is sorrow?
Physically – when your throat tightens and the tears flow on their own.
Emotionally – when memories flood in uninvited.
Energetically – when you feel emptiness all around you.

Sunny went through all stages of life. From a small puppy, playful and cheerful, serious and funny, to the teething phase where he chewed everything, the shedding of baby teeth and growth of adult ones marking adolescence, the shaping of his priorities, attachment to his dearest, his protective instincts, all the way to maturity, where he slowed down, became more serious, and no longer engaged in territorial clashes or dominance games.
His entire life, he protected you. And when he got old—it was your turn to care for him.

Sunny was a special dog. He observed, thought, and made decisions. He was fortunate to be part of a family that loved him unconditionally. And he gave back just the same. Sometimes, his love was possessive—he wanted us just for himself.

He witnessed the growth of our project. He knew every location by heart—the steps up the Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun, the Moon, the tumulus, the tunnels, and the park. He knew when breaks occurred, where we paused with groups, and listened intently like a human. Yet, he had his own rhythm and goals.

He always loved seeing female dogs—tail wagging joyfully. Males... it depended.

When "Lady," a beautiful white royal poodle from Belgrade, came to mate, he came running to proudly show me how in love he was.

He was fast, agile, with incredible reflexes. A true goalkeeper. No ball could get past him when thrown or kicked. And when he returned the ball, he’d drop it from his mouth so precisely, it would land directly in your hand. Like the best golf player. The first time, I thought it was luck. Every time after that, he proved otherwise. He had rare talents.

He had tough times too—fights with stronger dogs who entered his “territory,” he was bitten, wounded, barely survived blood poisoning from ticks. And every time, Sabina saved him. She sensed when something wasn’t right. And usually, I’d be the one ending up at the vet. Always on weekends—Saturday night or Sunday, when clinics are closed. Sabina would take over the treatment afterward.

He knew Sabina took care of him. He knew he was “on a mission” with me. And he loved us both. And we loved him.

Yes, he was much more than a dog. Sunny – the “Official Pyramid Dog.” Thousands of people touched him, petted him, took photos with him. Major and minor media featured him. He was an attraction—of a serious kind.

I never had to worry about where he was. Even surrounded by a hundred people, I knew he followed me—my shadow.

Royal poodles have a graceful gait, a dignified presence. They choose who they show affection to. That was him.

Sunny was present at the park’s construction from day one. He witnessed all installations: the Green Pyramid, Conference Hall, Labyrinths of Love, Energy and Purification, the sports complex, pavilions of important figures, creeks, paths, stairs—his pawprints left marks in fresh concrete.

His final visit to the park ended at the new installation, the “Fifth Element.” Just as ether is invisible, Sunny now departs into a dimension unseen to us. He was accompanied by Luna and Ljubo.

Luna was named after Sunny. He was the Sun, she the Moon. Male and female energy. Brother and sister. And Ljubo was named in Sunny’s honor too. He adored and respected him endlessly.

He was a family member. A part of everyday life. A witness to happy moments, laughter, and challenges.

He knew he was loved. He gave even more love in return. He had a home, tenderness, and attention.
He received kisses until his very last day, until his final minute.

Thank you, Sunny.
You will forever remain in our hearts.
I know you will be watching us from the beautiful place where you now rest, guarding us always.
And one day, our blue energies will meet again—in a joyous cosmic dance when our time comes.

One of the things that I love to do is travel around the world and look at archaeological sites. Because archaeology gives us an opportunity to study past civilizations, and see where they succeeded and where they failed. Use science to, you know, work backwards and say, ‘Well, really, what were they thinking?
