Eat Pray LoveI have a friend, Deborah, a psychologist, who was asked by the city of Philadelphia if she could offer psychological counseling to Cambodian refugees boat people, who had recently arrived in the city. Deborah was daunted by the task. These Cambodians had suffered genocide, starvation, relatives murdered before their eyes. Years in refugee camps, harrowing boat trips to the West. How could she relate to their suffering? How could she help these people? So guess what all these people wanted to talk about with my friend Deborah, the psychologist. It was all, “I met this guy in the refugee camp. I thought he really loved me, but when we got separated on the boat. He took up with my cousin. But now he says he really loves me, and he keeps calling me. They’re married now. What should I do? I still love him.” This is how we are.Woman1: May I help you?Liz: I’m Liz Gilbert. I’m writing a magazine article on Bali. I wanted to meet a medicine man. Everyone said I should meet Ketut Liyer. Am I in the right place?Woman1: Wait.I mean, here I am with a ninth-generation medicine man, and what do I wanna ask him about? Getting closer to god? Saving the world’s starving children?Ketut: Happy to see you. I am Ketut Liyer.Nope. I wanna discuss my relationship.Ketut: You are a world traveler. You will live a long time, have many friends, many experiences. You will have two marriages. One long, one short.Liz: Am I in the long one or the short one?Ketut: Can’t tell. Also you will lose all your money. I think in next 6 to 10 months. Don’t worry. You will get it all back again. And you will come back to Bali, and live here for three or four months and teach me English. I never had anybody to practice my English with. And then…I will teach you everything I know. Wait. I have this for you. Keep grounded so it’s like you have four legs. That way, you can stay in this world. also, no looking at world through your head. Look through your heart instead. That way, you will know god.
