Raising the legs is the single most challenging moment of building this temple. The 5 main structural legs are made from 5-6 inch diameter Guadua Bamboo and are about 32 feet tall!

Read more "A Cathedral Made from 55,000 LED Lights"Lots of dream action last night…though I can’t remember much. It’s so interesting to write dreams down.

Read more "Over One Billion Dollars"Sleep: I just don’t seem to need much now. Even when I do sleep, I can tell, I’m highly activated.
