Things get a bit hectic and strained around here occasionally. Sure, everyone has ups and downs, that's all part of life anyhow. Amasha Oils and our founder, Hermit, have had some good times and some trials and tribulations since Amasha Oils' inception in April 1997. It would be wonderful to say our high quality products have been a raging success, but so far despite our continuing efforts at research, development, production, sales and constant improvement, financial rewards have remained just out of reach.

We have offered some wonderful classes and these too have been slow to reach widespread acclaim and acceptance. Hermit is again corresponding with interested people and creating individualized trainings in some cases. We now have the Third Eye training system sponsored by Amasha Metaphysical Institute and this has been exciting in cities around Arizona. My efforts at bringing Tai Chi Chuan to the desert over the last few years have brought some unexpected admirers and a little uneven cash flow. Perhaps its our reclusive natures or our Path of study and experience. Maybe its halitosis, poor hygiene, or marked dementia. Whatever it is, times are trying and donations graciously accepted.

You may wonder just what it is we would do with these donations. To start with, the well is is now repaired and we can enjoy running water again. A July tornado came for a Sunday afternoon visit and rolled the trailer I was eating dinner in about 4 times. When I scrambled out into the torrential rain and wind, covered in blood, it dawned on me just how rural and isolated this place still is. Our neighbor's trailer flew into my car, the roof was ripped off an older awning/work area, the motorcycle shed, and tool room were airlifted away, and the trailer I had been in rolled into another one and both were completely destroyed. In the weeks that followed I discovered parts of everything nicely distributed over a 2 mile path into the desert. I have been cleaning up and rebuilding for over two months now.

Our lab requires a few more pieces of equipment. There are a few plant oil and tincture projects on hold until we can get them up and running with some specialized glassware. We could use a pickup truck, doesn't need to be new. We purchased a used Mazda pickup for trips into town and the desert and wouldn't you know it, the engine threw a wrist pin the very next week when one of the girls borrowed it. I retrieved it and now the engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced. So does the front end.

We still have some debts hanging around, it would be a pleasure to pay them off. We have borrowed from many sources to keep Amasha Oils alive. We have stored up canned foods to get through the thin times and we're doing well enough. Amazing what people trained in French cooking and New York style Italian recipes can accomplish with dry goods and canned foods. Perhaps some day, we'll winsomely look back on all this with fond tears in our eyes and say; "Remember when... ". Ah well, don't look back, its a waste of time and energy. "Keep flowing" we say!

Anyhow, we don't need anything from anyone struggling along, these are tough times and getting tougher each day. But if you are flush at the moment, comfortable, and appreciate our continuing efforts at bringing you high quality products and authentic metaphysical training systems and tools, well then we won't turn your donation down. And when we again become solvent and safe, on our hind legs, up and running at the level we aspire to, we will discontinue this Hermit Fund.
