Read This If You Feel Old (An Essay)

in , , , ,

After finding out my age…

Her: “You look so young.”

Me: “I *am* young.”

And I’m not accelerating the aging process like many of those around me.

Listen.

The universe is ‘old’.

Humans, regardless of their age / lifespan,

are just babies in the big scheme of things.

We are here only for a blip even if we make it far into ‘old age’.

50… 75… 100…

Still fresh.

Still new.

Still in our true prime.

Even as our form shifts over time, like all physical things do.

Still ageless, timeless, eternal and everlasting.

Unless of course you’re not keeping current with yourself.

And you’ve got a fuckton of matter weighing you down.

And you’re buying into the societal bullshit of what it means to age.

And you’ve been neglecting your true work and your body for eons.

Then of course you will feel ‘old’ and you will look much older than you should and you will move far less freely than you’re actually capable of — just like the masses.

And of course you’ll fear aging (like this gal does), and death by proxy, because you haven’t been doing what you’re supposed to be doing as a functioning human:

cleaning up your shit and taking full responsibility for every aspect of your life, including the state of your body and the illusions you have around form.

And more and worse of what you’ve currently got going on (when what you’ve got going on is based on limitation; both perceived and real) would scare anybody.

So if you haven’t prioritized yourself, the deep work, your health and your body yet,

get crackin’.

And start with going carnivore (or at the very least, keto) and The Power of Mobility.

Aging Unnaturally (An Essay)

in , , , ,

It’s not that you slow down the aging process when you exist naturally.

It’s that you accelerate the aging process when you don’t.

It’s not about the food.

It’s not about the exercise.

It’s about the energetic state that precedes and carries each choice and each movement.

Is it in truth or compensation?

Is it an expression and an extension of the first or not?

You already know.

Living naturally is being in sync with who you are.

Living unnaturally is being in resistance to that.

Living naturally is being free of the weight of illusion.

Living unnaturally is being steeped in it.

Resistance is what accelerates the aging process.

And when you stop resisting…

life

yourself

this moment

the other

you stop that acceleration.

So it’s not a slowing down.

It’s being what you are meant to be.

Yourself.

And free of yourself.

And when you are both,

it’s easy to see how matter ages those around you.

Because matter is heavy.

And truth is light.

And no form of diet or exercise can compensate for a life lived in compensation.

The Power of Mobility (An Essay)

in , ,

Mobility work is the same as inner work.

Doing it automatically shows you where you’re currently deficient / limited / stuck / living with dysfunction.

And you get to come face-to-face with the adaptations you’ve created in order to cope with that imbalance.

Just like chiro / physio / stretching / rolling doesn’t actually address the core issue,

tools to manage your inner experience are no different.

They can provide temporary relief from the results of your on-going neglect and immobility, but it creates a dependency on something external that doesn’t actually ‘fix’ the ‘problem’.

And…

it’s not that there’s anything fundamentally wrong with any of these things.

They may be the perfect things along the way, or in a specific season, as you begin to trust yourself more and eventually wean yourself off of these external bandaids that you lean on for support.

And when they are used not as a compensation,

but as a beautiful addition to an already solid and functioning system,

even better.

But the work is ultimately about no longer taking and settling for shortcuts when you are fully capable of,

and are completely designed for,

true stability and self-reliance.

Normal Isn't Natural (An Essay)

in , , ,

It’s not natural to be overweight.

It demonstrates (and further creates) imbalance.

It’s not natural to live in poverty.

It demonstrates (and further creates) imbalance.

It’s not natural to be in perpetual pain.

It demonstrates (and further creates) imbalance.

It’s not natural to be mentally ill.

It demonstrates (and further creates) imbalance.

It’s not natural to be sedentary / immobile.

It demonstrates (and further creates) imbalance.

It’s not natural to be addicted.

It demonstrates (and further creates) imbalance.

Just because it’s normal and normalized…

Just because we can (and do) adapt to every dysfunction…

Living in a state of perpetual compensation is not a natural way to be.

Lily: “It might be not natural but unless you're a fat person this may come out as fatphobic. Because body diversity exists and is not a choice. Not everyone has the privilege to live in a mid-size body.”

Me: “I’m not worried about coming across as fatphobic.”

To add, she admits it’s not natural (the only thing I said about being overweight), but my impersonal / accurate / non-judgemental / matter-of-fact statement won’t pass the vibe check because of my size? Humans are so silly.

Eat The Poison If You Want To (An Essay)

in , , ,

You can eat whatever you want without ‘negative’ consequences…

when you exist in truth.

But most people don’t.

Much, if not all, of their life is a compensation.

Therefore, so is their eating.

Eating to soothe.

To control.

To get.

To lose.

To fill what’s empty.

When it’s not even their tummy.

That’s not living in truth.

That’s not being in charge of your food.

It’s the food leading you.

Oh, boy.

It’s your need to compensate that makes you a slave to the external.

In this case, food.

So yes,

theoretically you can eat whatever you want when you live in truth,

without any adverse consequences.

Just like that guru I heard about decades ago who took a hit of acid and was unaffected by it because he was energetically more potent than the chemicals.

He didn’t even go on a trip.

But almost no one exists at such a level where they could consume acid, or whatever the fuck any have their system, and be completely unaffected.

Truth overrides all things, yes.

But again, most people don’t choose, and live from, truth.

They choose from compensation.

And people who choose to live from truth don’t need or desire to consume a specific thing just to prove they can.

“Lemme drink some of this bleach to show you how unaffected I am.”

No.

Truth-living isn’t about self-poisoning.

But if ‘poison’ was consumed,

they wouldn’t notice.

It would neutralize.

Their system would self-correct.

Naturally.

Or at the very least,

they’d take the steps to clean it out.

And return to purity once again.

Or they’d croak.

Who knows.

Circle of life and all that.

“How Do I?” is Sourced From A Lie (An Essay)

in , , , , ,

“How do I?” is sourced from a lie.

It implies that something is wrong / lacking and clearly needs fixing.

You think you need to lose the weight / make the money / get the partner / overcome the condition (whatever the fuck) to feel / be / do / have A, B, C.

But you don’t.

Be HERE.

Right NOW.

And do whatever you’re being called to do in each moment.

Illusory problem(s) solved.

But because you can’t handle the beauty and simplicity of being present in the moment,

or the responsibility of both listening to and honouring your innate brilliance,

or the potency of the fire that comes from being THAT close and devoted to YOU regardless of externals,

and you’re hell-bent on fighting against what IS because of your idea of, and preference for, how it ‘should’ be,

you take the long and completely ineffective way around the truth and power of who you are.

Any attempt to ‘fix’ what’s inherently not a ‘problem’ in the first place, cannot be sustained because it’s both sourced from, and being overlayed with, a fallacy.

Creating an endless loop of shit that never does the trick.

You think it’s about the food / the money / the body / the babe.

But it’s only ever about you vs YOU, which shows up in all the things.

And…

When you begin to see through it,

when you get to the place where you KNOW you’re good regardless of your size / your bank account / a relationship / your health (whatever the fuck),

and you know that YOU are bigger than (and the creator of) ALL those things,

(because THAT is the absolute fucking truth)

THEN you are free from the energetic gridlock that’s been keeping all that shit stuck like a mutherfucker.

THEN you get to experience what has always been on the other side of that illusory jail you’ve kept yourself in this whole time.

But until you figure that out and get to that place,

your perfectly orchestrated externals are going to do their brilliant magic to show you that what you seek (and already are) cannot be found within any of them.

Every door ‘out there’ is gonna close until you finally open the only door that matters with the key you’ve always had.

Man, I just love how that works.

You're Asking The Wrong Question (An Essay)

in , , , , , , , , , , ,

It's not: "How do I get the clients / make the money / overcome the addiction / heal the pain / resolve this health and / or relationship 'issue'?"

It's: "When will I stop saying YES to a NO? When will I stop supressing what's true? When will I make being the living truth my full-time job regardless of who or what is in front of me?"

Seeing Through The Public Persona (An Essay)

in , , , , ,

You can swap the coach, the paradigm, the partner.

You can change the business, the lingo, and make big money.

You can lose the weight and hit a new personal record.

And STILL not shift energetically.

Just because you switched the box and the externals look different, it doesn’t mean a damn thing changed.

And just because others paint a superficial and strategically crafted picture of themselves publicly, doesn’t mean it’s the real thing, either.

These days, when I read certain posts from those I once looked up to, and they are still selling the same flat experience (but now in a sparkly ‘new’ package), those I thought had ‘made it’ and knew something I didn’t (since I didn’t yet trust myself fully) because I was reading their content (which is what sold me) instead of their energy (which speaks the actual truth)…

I can now feel where they’re really at, regardless of what they’re saying.

And in all this time, nothing got cleaned up.

They never actually moved.

They simply added new words, new offers, and new price points from that same exact place.

Pretending something new has taken place, and maybe it has circumstantially, but energetically it’s stagnant as hell and wasn’t truly alive to begin with.

But back then I was sold on the external narrative.

My ravenous desire to find answers to my perceived dilemmas, and relief from what ailed me, clouded my ability to discern between what was being presented in the physical and what was actually loud as fuck in the non-physical.

But the cleaner I got, the easier it was for me to read between those lines.

To feel the truth beyond the words.

To know where someone’s actually at instead of where they’ve positioned themselves to be.

So I came to understand that some of the most celebrated and followed ‘teachers’ are the ones drowning in the most illusion.

They’re energetic hot messes.

Which captivates and motivates those who are also drenched in matter.

They love the resonance.

The feeling of ‘same’.

I love the void.

The feeling of clean.

Why You Don't Get All The Things (An Essay)

in , , , , ,

You don’t get ALL THE THINGS just because you’re ‘doing the work’.

You get ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE TRUE FOR YOUR BEING EVERY FUCKING STEP OF THE WAY FOR THE REST OF YOUR FUCKING LIFE regardless of the work.

Which is what you’ve been getting since the moment you were born.

So doing the work doesn’t change the fact that you’re always exactly where you need to be in whatever circumstance you find yourself in that’s undoubtedly refining you beautifully.

Doing the work just ‘removes’ the illusory shit in the way of you seeing how fucking perfect it all is regardless of how it appears or what does or doesn’t happen because let’s face it, shit is always happening.

That’s life.

What is or isn’t happening is never the problem.

How we misperceive it, is.

Someone in a relationship isn’t more advanced / on track than someone not in one, and vice versa.

Someone with a fuckton of cash isn’t more advanced / on track than someone with nada, and vice versa.

Someone with a specific health condition isn’t less advanced / less on track than someone without one, and vice versa.

You can’t use external metrics to measure the quality of one’s inner experience or the precision of one’s energetic game because the work has nothing to do with the external even though, of course, it can impact it.

Things most definitely move more seamlessly when you’re actively doing the work simply because you’re not repeatedly jamming your own circuits with your own bullshit / clutter / mispercepetions / expectations.

And if you’re attached to what your ‘been doing all the work’ life should look like (the man, the fat account, 20 pounds lighter, whatever the fuck), you’re still not hitting the right spot because you’re aiming for something ‘out there’ to validate what you’re doing ‘in here’ instead of staying right here where the magic really happens (which has nothing to do with what does or doesn’t happen externally).

Doing the work (seeing through the matter) results in being okay no matter what happens and no matter what it ends up looking like, and trusting (well it’s even beyond trust — you just KNOW) that your being knows far better than you what the hottest concoction is for you every step of the way if you’d just get outta the damn way and do exactly what you know you need to do because you’re being told how to move in every fucking moment.

And it’s not that you won’t ‘get’ the cash or the man or the body whatever else it is you think you want.

It’s that you inevitably get to a place where you’re so fucking juiced even without it, that you’re not even feeling like a damn thing is missing (because nothing ever is), and you know that what’s truly for you is both inevitable and ever-present, and you know it’s the experience you’re after; not the thing itself,

as the unimaginable licks you from head to toe

in ways you never even dreamed of.

You Don't Have Issues (An Essay)

in , , , , , , ,

You don’t have a money issue.

A health issue.

A relationship issue.

Any issue at all.

You have whatever is brought to the surface through whatever meaning you’ve projected onto whatever is happening or not happening with your account, your health, your relationships, your whatever the fuck.

Not an issue.

An invitation.

It’s not about having or not having a certain amount of money.

It’s not about having or not having a certain measure of health.

It’s not about having or not having the relationship(s) of your supposed dreams.

It’s about facing and transmuting every bit of constriction / density / matter / illusion that shows up as you navigate every single facet of life - including your finances, your health, your relationships and all the rest.

It’s not about the category.

It’s about the congestion.

And the area in which you feel the most congested / restricted / powerless, is where you think there’s an issue (naturally), but ultimately it’s just the spot that’s the ripest to fuck with (look at, challenge, and ultimately see through).

It’s your own self-generated playground to unclog, free up, and own your damn power already.

So let go of the concept of there being an issue.

There’s no such thing.

There’s just energy moving freely or temporarily getting jammed up.

If You're Worried About Another (An Essay)

in , , , , , , ,

When you stop focusing on or worrying about others (your fellow innately powerful and sovereign beings), and instead start to focus on cleaning up your shit, there’s a high fucking chance that those others will also begin to clean up their shit as well, without you even saying a word.

Even if your redirection is disruptive or confusing for them at first, if there’s a part of them that’s ready to rock and roll, they will.

Which is why those closest to you (or anyone else in your field) can experience a reduction, if not the complete dissolution of, addiction, depression, disorders, ailments, anxiety, etc (the things you keep worrying about with regards to them), because you being fully in charge of yourself provides the opportunity (energetic framing) for them to land in that same powerful energy inside themselves.

It seems like magic.

But it’s not.

In one’s purest, most natural energetic state,

none of those unsavoury things actually exist.

It’s impossible.

They’re just how one copes with not being in, and applying, one’s power.

When someone has deviated from the truth and natural movements of their being (a complete betrayal to one’s system), the only way to live with that internal split is to distract one’s self with self-created ‘issues’ that would not exist (and ultimately don’t) had they remained in their power (their natural state) in the first place.

Thus, these ‘issues’ were created and held onto for a reason.

And when that reason dissolves, POOF goes the issue.

That’s how people can ‘cure’ themselves of ABC without years of XYZ.

It’s always and only about the energy.
