🧮

  1. I don't plan. I'm pulled.

  2. I don’t move until I’m moved.

  3. The true move does what needs to be done. Across the board. With everyone.

  4. You never get there.

  5. The action is never the point.

  6. Things are always in motion, no matter how it appears.

  7. You quell the noise by moving, and not moving, despite it.

  8. “I’m just following orders. Take it up with the Lord.” How to respond when people question your moves.

  9. I use the Devil to get closer to God. And Hell to get closer to Heaven.

  10. When you're moving, nothing moves. Everything moves when you’re still.

  11. Wanting it different is why it stays the same.

  12. Even when I'm single, I move like I'm taken.

  13. Fuck balance. There’s no such thing. Trust obsession. It moves everything.

  14. Avoidance is passive. Non-engagement is active.

  15. fluid; not fixed

  16. When you aim, you miss.

  17. When IT happens, it’s not ‘OH MY GOD!’ It’s ‘of course.’

  18. If your shit can be fucked with by another making moves, your shit clearly needs a good fucking.

  19. When you see what others cannot see, you move in ways they can’t understand.

  20. If it isn’t freely given, it isn’t yours to take.

  21. Things move pretty fast when there’s nothing in the way.

  22. The inner resistance you’re trying to ‘overcome’ by doing X,Y,Z, is the only (illusory) thing you actually need to ‘work on’.

  23. All you’re doing with all that doing is dancing around your own fire.

  24. You can’t ‘will’ / ‘pray’ / ‘affirm’ IT into being. You can only recognize that you are IT already. And make your moves from there.

  25. Your insistence on sticking to what you said you would do, instead of making the new, true move, is why your experience fucking blows.

  26. No amount of movement (or lack of movement) in the physical can override or compensate for the instability in your system.

  27. Make the move because it's true. Regardless of what comes next.

  28. You can. You just don’t want to — yet.

  29. It’s you putting things in your own way.

  30. The other’s moves are what you point to and use, to justify your inability to harness your power.

  31. Their moves are not your business.

  32. They can be however they want to be. I’ll make my moves accordingly.

The Instant Shift (An Essay)

in , ,

Yes, it’s true that it does all shift in an instant.

Energetically.

And yes, sometimes it can shift physically —

in an instant.

But for many things, there is a ‘gap’.

A lag-time between the energetic shift and the physical reflection of it.

Not because something is wrong or not working.

But because shit is still moving.

Rearranging.

Lining up.

And that liminal space and appearance of nothing happening ‘out there’,

which doesn’t account for the very necessary yet unseen motion going on in the ethers,

is what creates a ton of movement and noise ‘in here’.

And this is what needs to be faced and seen through and silenced as the external comes into form.

Nothing is ‘wrong’ just because something hasn’t happened — yet.

Or in the way you think it should and on the timeline that you have decided.

Your work is to keep doing your work.

Period.

To make the inner more important than the outer, but of course, still tend to the outer.

To care about becoming and remaining stable internally, instead of defaulting to being moved and disheartened by externals.

Because…

When you see things and yourself as they / you are,

you can ‘handle’ what is or isn’t happening ‘out there’.

But when you can’t see things or yourself with clarity,

you really can’t ‘handle’ a thing.

Laura: “Man, I always fall into the trap of 'why is nothing changing when I've been paying all this attention to myself internally' and then I realize, that's the trap. Cause I'm still focused out but pretending to be in.”

Me: “What you wrote also implies that you’re focused on the internal to change the external and that’s also not actually IT. Even though on one level, of course. But it’s still connecting A to B instead of just doing A for the sake of being a fucking badass at A and letting B be whatever the fuck it’s gonna be because you’re SO GOOD with that A.”

Laura: “Bingo.”

TRANSCRIPT

Her: “I’m testing the boundaries at the moment. I’m working with another teacher who you know, and just before I made an offer on this MasterClass, I had a session with her, and she had tested me and said, “Okay. Well, what do you feel comfortable offering?” kind of thing, and I felt like I handled it quite well. But I really struggled when it came to yours because there was nobody holding my hand, but I pushed myself with it as well. You were like, “Offer what’s true.” and I sat there with it and then I felt for my edges and I got to this point and I was like, “Oh, my God. I’m gonna do this thing on top of this other thing. I just did that and then I’m gonna do this”. And I was like but this is the only thing that feels right. Like I can’t, I couldn’t offer you anything else. There was nothing else I could give you that would be true. And I was just like okay, this is where I gotta go.”

If You Really Love Me (An Essay)

in , , , , , , ,

Most would rather have another cater / adapt to their dysfunction(s) / delusion(s) than to do the work necessary to correct it themselves.

And most would rather do that for another,

to avoid their own discomfort

of having to take that same level of responsibility

for their own deficiencies.

Sharp; Not Soft (An Essay)

in , , ,

I do the opposite of what they say to do

With a man

As a woman

Whatever the fuck that means

I am sharp

Not soft (and I am — very)

I challenge everything

Until there’s nothing

(an inside job — read more)

And as he’s said…

I’m relentless

Unyielding

Exacting

Demanding

Militant

Trenchant

Mercurial

And yet…

He’s still here

Right here

Closer than most will ever be (his words)

To me

To themselves

To heaven

To another

Precisely because I do the opposite of what they say to do

With a man

As a woman

Whatever the fuck that means

Why would I be less me for anybody?

The more me, the better

For everybody
