Bondaygee Arts & Therapy Center
Creative Soul Arts by James Purdie
About 20 years ago, by chance, I met a “wise-woman” at my University who changed my life in 20 minutes! I had gone to see this Academic Counsellor because I wanted to drop a course and didn’t want it to affect my GPA. But something Continue reading “The Truth About Chi Energy”
Greetings and Welcome!
You really are on the right path! 
(안녕! 그냥 영어공부 하고싶은 사람 여기 크리그 하세요!)
Thanks for dropping by. I’m curious how you found this site. Your story and your journey. Don’t be shy. Why not leave a message at the contact page? Thanks for coming anyways. Now let me tell you the story of Bondaygee.com.
Note: If you just want to study ESL, click here or “The Bondaygee System” from the menu.
The Bondaygee.com Story
Originally, nearly ten years ago while I was in Korea, I met a Buddhist monk named Park Ji-young. We discovered together that we had an instant connection. We were both artistic, creative and spiritual types of people.
We had a lot of interesting things to share with one another, but Ji-young was most surprised when I showed her my Ocean of Love of story. It was pretty special to me too. Suddenly Ji-young felt inspired to make a website to share the story and my many other creative, ESL songs and videos. She really surprised me with her simple, beautiful graphics. You can see her work in the website title above. She identified herself with the moon and me with the sun. Thank you Ji-young wherever you are!
Unfortunately for me, she went to live in a temple and I moved back to Canada. I didn’t know anything about websites, so I had lost my homepage for a few years.
Sometime later, back in Canada, I began studying website creation and was inspired to make a new website. For a couple of years, I thought the website should only focus on ESL Studying, unlike the original, which featured my stories. Over time I realized without my stories, Bondaygee.com was lacking soul, it’s original vision and inspiration. You see the Ocean Story is all about vision and how we perceive the world while “bondaygee” according to it’s Korean meaning symbolizes creativity, transformation and rebirth. “Bondaygee” – 번데기 means cocoon.
Interestingly, since redefining and restoring Bondaygee.com back to it’s original scope and meaning, I seem to have millions of stories to write and I can’t stop, nor do I want to. I feel in love again! I’m very open and honest. I also became really healthy this last year through yoga and nutrition. I’m sharing those stories too. Don’t forget “Bondaygee is in your heart!” 
That was another poster Ji-young made for me from the comical “bondaygee song” music video and movie.
This is my Youtube Channel here to if you’re interested. Mind you, I accidentally deleted all my videos 3 years ago and had to re-upload everything.
Lastly, this story wouldn’t be complete unless I mentioned the contributions of a Hungarian Artist named Gergley Kovaks. He made the beautiful icons and this cool poster picture below.
Note, just because I love Pop Music, Beatles, etc, doesn’t mean I’m not an astute, philosophical person, because I am. My art friends just happened to think my Bondaygee Music Videos were funny!
Here’s another piece of Park Ji-young’s artwork. It’s just her “doodling”:
Hello again. I wanted to share my interesting stories and discoveries about getting healthy, which I’ve experienced in these last 12 months, with the hopes that I might be able to help some other struggling people. The time period is April 2014 to the present April 2015.
It’s been a really great change for me and as I have learned I have actually grown as a person. So this is what you call “meaningful change”. To be perfectly honest, there’s nothing more wonderful than finding your True Self. Continue reading “How I became healthy: Part 1”
Hi there. People who know me very well, know that I’m very serious about good health. This last year 2014 I made a lot of insightful discoveries on healthy living and nutrition. I would like to share these secrets with you because getting healthy has got to be one of the most wonderful things in the world. The importance of the “Mind/Body” connection really can’t be Continue reading “James’ Health Stories”
here’s a story I used to love to tell my younger students because they still had great imaginations and hadn’t “figured everything out” already like older folks and scientists. It starts when I was back in college. I had just finished my first year there and I was feeling really inspired, having lot of fun partying and trying out new ideas. But as I stood out on a beautiful campus balcony on one late spring evening, I still felt there was something missing.
A Simple healing, love story that puts things into perspective, a soul story all based up on the human eye!
At the moment of creation, I also realized that this message is also aimed at the whole of humanity, especially those suffering the most. This story is very similar to what Eckart Tolle says in the “Power of Now” about transcending the Egoic mind and transitioning to a reference point and reverence of the Eternal Now. In Yoga Wisdom, this is called “Soul Vision”, “Zen” No-Mindness of Buddhism, or the “Christ-Consciousness” of Christianity. And in short there’s no greater vision and realization than this. Everything else is miniscule and trivial compared to it.
The importance of this transition is you are no longer caught-up, and entangled by the egoic mind, its limitations and limited scope, but have realized a Oneness with the Universal Inner Divinity. This is a real evolution-of-consciousness-process, which exists throughout the Universe and not just on planet Earth. By shedding the egoic mind, you become enraptured in the awesome gift and potential of the inner light which unites everyone and everything in the universe. But if you don’t have this as a regular point of reference, then it is very easy for the mind to be swayed, which is why I’d recommend something like meditation 3 times a day and incorporating this subject (soul awareness) into your daily purpose as it is an inspirational way to live. The Pure Life, the real thing, inner and outer truth in harmony especially as it unites and raises your vibration, is the breath of the divine holding up humanity and lifting the veil from everyone’s eyes to complete this age old cycle and finally liberate planet from this 3 dimensional egoic mind struggle. Read on to hear this allegorical depiction of the human situation with these interesting parallels in the human eye!
Here’s where I share my most important, life-changing stories. This is how I had a ‘spiritual awakening’. I’ve learned that it is critically important to be completely honest and truthful when speaking about your inner stories because this world is full of deception and it’s far too easy to fall onto the “wrong path” or get confused. Another reason is because this whole subject matter is about Truth. I’ve also found that you need to open up in a “safe environment.” I guess that means a place where you are unconditionally accepted for who you truly are inside. I also believe the “Clear” vision of the Wise mentor also has an influence in blocking the ego’s perpetual habit of “pulling the wool over one’s eyes!” So there’s a kind of leverage that one can borrow with the right, authentic connection and even a bit of “soul magic” can come out too! I promise you there are deep and beautiful mysteries inside.
So what follows here is a brief and honest account of what happened to me growing up and how it caused me to evolve in a positive way eventually. And you know, talking is so important with these things, especially with someone you trust and who possesses inner wisdom/awareness. The inner-knowledge keeps building upon itself you’ll see. I didn’t even talk about these things (my personal story, tragedies, etc) for about 5 years. And then full expression occurred 10 years after that. Counselors can be great if you feel a good connection with them. If you feel it’s not working try somebody else. Your inner Self will tell you when it’s truly there. It doesn’t work unless you find that genuine connection. You can usually feel the right chemistry of the connection. Interesting feelings will come out, laughter, tears, giddiness, energy, euphoria, the feeling of flying, powerful dreams, etc. So please try hard for this and don’t give up until you do make it work. It’s definitely worth fighting for. Trust me!
