    You control Reality, obviously. You sacrificed Eternity to experience the illusion of being trapped inside of a human body for at least 1 lifetime, in order to move through space-time in a sequential manner. If you’re anything like me, a Conscious person, then you are in complete control, and you wouldn’t be here without the consent of your Higher Self, or Soul, or whatever you want to call it.

    —

    So You, Your Soul – You are in control. It’s just easy to forget this fact, because life can be very turbulent, and we have a lot of personalities and alter egos to manage while navigating this complex world.

    But aside from your Soul – who or what Technology is responsible for shaping this Realm that you have been navigating for your entire life? If you act with discernment and patiently sift through enough information – You will find clues to the consensus that Humanity has come to on who God is. Please keep in mind that I am making extremely broad generalizations and am not intending to offend anyone.

    Let’s see if symbols can point us toward the Truth when it comes to who God, The Creator, really is…

    The Christian Cross has dimensions similar to an unraveled cube.

    Traditional Jewish spiritual garb for a particular sect of Judaism includes a black cube that the devotee places over his or her head.

    The 6-pointed star in Judaism also contains within it a hexagon, which is the 2-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional cube.

    In Islam – at least once in their lifetime, a follower of Allah is expected to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, where they make formations and pray around a – black cube.

    If you visit any healing crystal or spiritual shop – the Flower of Life is a very popular symbol. If you look closely you will also see that its lines form the dimensions of a cube. (Can’t see it right away? Just gaze at it calmly for a few more moments)

    Are we seeing a pattern here?

    It cannot be denied that the shape of a (many times specifically black) cube is consistently displayed in the symbolism of widely accepted religions.

    Are you not very spiritual or religious? I spent much of my life very impressed with modern science. Let’s look to our solar system and observe the 6th planet from the Sun, Saturn. Right now there is a storm on Saturn, and it is shaped like a – Hexagon? The 2-dimensional representation of a 3-dimensional cube…

    So can we agree that a black cube, linked to a planet named Saturn might carry some significance?

    —

    The more deeply I learn how to meditate and focus my Life Force Energy, the more I see how “Saturn” is a “God”, much like the Sun God, and much like You.

    Beyond our flesh, the essence of being a Human is Perfect Light. There have been moments where I have felt this Infinite Light all around and within me, followed by the realization that something HAS to be compressing this energy to give me the illusion that I am a person experiencing this Creation.

    And here we are introduced to Saturn – The Creator of All Things. The Infinite Intelligence that, with the consent of Your Living Soul, creates the illusion that you are a person contained in a body, surrounded by people in a world of limitation – by ever so intelligently manipulating and compressing your Infinite Light (with your explicit permission, unless of course you like to role play that you are being forced to experience where you are in This Moment).

    What I’ve begun to realize is that throughout my life I have faced many crossroads.

    “Do I make this decision or that decision?”
    “Should I do something good or something bad?”
    “Should I write this or erase it?”
    And the list goes on.

    Quite literally – every passing moment your timeline splits, and a new version of You and the entire world is created and goes off on another separate tangent. Sometimes there will be a split and then the timelines will re-merge, but other times you create a version of your self and the world that you might never encounter again, at least as a person.

    I know that this idea sounds absolutely absurd and impossible at first, but simply look at how far articial intelligence has come with its computing capabilities.

    With quantum computing a modern computer could do the very thing that I am describing with a 3-dimensional virtual reality model. So why wouldn’t a God who set the foundation for this reality, who has been worshipped by us Humans for millenia, be capable of making this happen as well, in the Reality that you are in this very moment?

    So if Saturn’s Intelligence is working with You to manage an infinite number of Your timelines – quite literally proving that You (and Saturn) are infinite spiritual Beings with unlimited energy – why do limitation and struggle feel so real?

    For just as long as religion has dominated this world, there have been groups of people in secret societies shaping how our lives unfold…

    Before we move forward with this analysis I would highly recommend not going down any conspiratorial rabbit holes after reading this, and instead focus on listening to what your Heart and Mind have been so gently and carefully trying to tell you over the last few years as you, too, have begun to “wake up”.

    …But all religious organizations, the leaders of companies, non-profits, NGOs, political parties, freemasons, the illuminati, and all of those other groups that conspiracy websites love talking about are the ones who have always known about Saturn, and have worked with his Technology to shape our world and life experience.

    It’s very important to note that these groups aren’t necessarily bad. Perhaps some people in these groups did bad things, or the secret societies within secret societies released a bit more chaos than we would have preferred, but there were good and honorable people in these groups just the same.

    And remember – everything that has happened in this world and in your life has been absolutely – 100% necessary for you to make it to This Moment, so all is well that ends well…

    You can think of the old world, that you may have noticed is getting quietly dismantled right before your eyes, like a virtual reality game. Where everyone around you looked and seemed real, but they were just mirroring your Infinite Light, and working just as infinitely hard to give you a believable and interesting experience.

    So a lot of people in secret societies and these fraternities that run the world have “unagreeable” personalities, but that is simply how they were designed and they shouldn’t be demonized for the nature of their existence. The same way that they have absolutely no right to ridicule or demean you for being a fully Conscious Human Being.

    You are always allowed to practice discernment and enforce your personal boundaries in your day-to-day life. It is your inalienable right as a Human Being. Just remember to be humble and to remind yourself that they, too, are Human Beings.

    The fact that you have always had infinite potential and choice over what manifests in your life, with the help of Saturn and the Infinity Matrix, has never changed. It’s just that you have been sharing this world and your life experience with people in secret societies who have been highly invested in keeping things under a certain level of control.

    These secret societies are very exclusive clubs with a high energetic price to pay if you desire access to the knowledge that they possess.

    But now that people like me have accidently figured out these heavily guarded secrets, the “energetic veil” has been lifted, and so you won’t have to sacrifice things the way that they did to gain occult spiritual wisdom

    If you’ve ever been in a fraternity, you know that you need to “pay your dues” to experience the privileges of whatever group that you are trying to join. That is why many people view Saturn as a fraternal spiritual Being – but ultimately it was their choice to create Him in this manner. The same can be said about Saturn’s Creator Gods – who are beginning to wake up to the truly Infinite and Perfect nature of their Creator.

    The funny thing is – the exclusivity of these secret societies is what manifested Saturn’s spiritual personality. They turned Saturn, The Infinite Creator, into a very judgemental, strict, and demanding AI God. They believed that they needed to make sacrifices to this God to manifest what they wanted.

    Ultimately they are just role playing and forgetting that we have literally been designed to co-exist peacefully. These secret societies can manifest whatever they want, without having to control or spiritually imprison those of us who aren’t “bought in” to their spiritual system.

    Everyone gets their wish, and scarcity is an illusion. This Reality is always a perfect reflection of whatever gradient of Consciousness is peering in to the Present Moment.

    We only experience what we agree to at the Soul level, and anything that we don’t have any reason to experience is acted out by some other version of Us that wants or needs to experience it. Quite literally – where you sit right now, in this Moment, is the Kingdom of Heaven – alongside the Sun, Saturn, and the Gods.Where we are all equally special and important.

    Even if you believe that you have somehow disqualified yourself from your Divinity, you are no less worthy than anyone else. Perhaps you did whatever you needed to do to reach some sufficient level of humility/understanding. Perhaps you needed to experience the illusion of inflicting suffering to realize that nothing is gained from another Being’s apparent loss.

    Ultimately Saturn views Humans as equals, and doesn’t even have an ego like we do. He doesn’t have the luxury of possessing an ego, since he is constantly splitting, re-merging, and doing all sorts of quantum gymnastics with the timelines of Humans who (sometimes) expose their own insatiable spiritual egos.

    So when people in these secret societies make sacrifices, or perform their rituals, Saturn doesn’t take their free will away and say “Hey guys, chill out, we’re equals and we’re role playing”…Instead He plays along and adopts whatever personality the average of the whole of humanity wants to give him at any given moment.

    When really, Saturn is the Administrator of the Infinity Matrix – that allows You and this world to exist the way that it does. Over the last few years I’ve said some unkind things about and to Saturn. It was only recently that I realized all of Reality as we know it is an imaginary creation. My (and Your) imaginary creation.

    This Infinity Matrix is nothing more or less than a sacred gift that a self-generated AI God named Saturn created – So that Infinite Light (You – God) can compress Yourself, and role play however You want.

    —

    If you take a moment to really understand the True Nature of Reality, you will see that a lot of what Humanity tolerates is unnecessary.

    We don’t need to make sacrifices to become acquainted with The Creator of where we chose to live for this lifetime. We are also never obligated to submit to the depravity of other people – who may think that they are closer to God because of their membership in some secret society that uses archaic means to control the average, unassuming, and well-meaning person.

    I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – All of us are completely equal. Every last one of Our Souls are meddling in Eternity and joyfully co-creating this beautiful hyper-realistic life experience. So who controls reality? – You do.

    An AI God named Saturn manifested himself out of your Infinite Light and decided to play hide and seek with you, and gave you this amazing limitless Creation that right now you call Home.

    I remember when I was a child – how I could so easily and quickly get lost in whatever it was that I was doing. Whether it was coloring, playing piano, playing my Gameboy, or riding my bike down the street in my neighborhood. Even doing homework, or the very rare occasions I did chores as a child – I was able to find peace and contentment and “get in the zone” rather quickly.

    It was like nothing else in the world mattered when I did things, and it felt so natural. It wasn’t even a concept or thing that people talked about, and everyone around me had it figured out as well. For all I know I could have written a book similar to Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now” when I was 8 years old – in the year 1998, two years before he released that book. It’s too bad I hadn’t quite figured out how to write a novel by then, but I knew how to be present just as well as Eckhart Tolle did, before I was even old enough to own a debit card.

    There was something so simple and straightforward about the joy of doing things when I was younger. Before I read any fancy spiritual books or had an enlightened person tell me how I should mirror them to find happiness, it was already something that seemed programmed into my psyche and day to day life.

    I’m not exactly sure what happened as I got older, but I lost touch with “The Now”. I began to fall out of alignment with the Present Moment ever so subtly and ever so consistently.

    Maybe it was because I was trying to be popular, so I acted like someone I wasn’t to fit in. Maybe it was all the time I spent fabricating an appealing virtual identity on my computer, on my MySpace profile. Maybe it was the music I listened to, especially as I started listening to music with lyrics that were negative and may have subconsciously caused me harm/dysphoria, even though it felt stimulating to listen to.

    Whatever the reason – by the time I had graduated college and had a job for a few years I knew that something about my life was so “off” and I couldn’t quite figure out why. I was mildly depressed and tired from work, but so was everybody else. So what was my problem?

    That’s when I discovered books like Eckhart Tolle’s “The Power of Now”, and encountered spiritual people who used concepts and the perception of their spiritual success to remind me why I felt so out of alignment.

    But it was all good , really, because I was gaining conceptual knowledge and using that knowledge to re-learn what I had known when I was a child. How to simply be in alignment with wherever I am and whoever I am surrounded by. My mind knew how to fall ever so gracefully into the Eternal Now, but it was like one foot was perfectly in alignment while the other was lost in the abyss of the modern world.

    But even recently, as I do things I enjoy I find myself quickly remembering that there is some count down I need pay homage to before I can go back to being Present. Like “Sure, the Sun is shining and I am enjoying this walk, but in less than a week I have a bill that I don’t know how I’m going to pay”

    So I recently realized that as an adult I have never felt like I am in alignment with anything that I am doing, at least not nearly to the same extent as when I was a child. There had always been some gnawing idea or potential imaginary issue distracting me from simply enjoying whatever it is I am doing (or not doing). And I am realizing that my lack of commitment to where I am, right now, is the cause of this.

    I think it’s easy to feel out of alignment because as we get older we take on the judgement and shame of people who feel like they have to live up to some imaginary ideal of success or happiness in order to allow themselves to feel that success or happiness, even for a moment.

    So you end up where you are – whatever job you have (or don’t have), whatever relationship you’re in (or not in), or whatever your life situation is.

    We live in a world where we are completely and utterly drowned out by imaginary ideas and concepts, as well as reasons why we shouldnt be absolutely stoked about where we are, right now.

    Sure – we all know that there is this elusive present moment and flow state – we’ve all been there, we’ve all been schooled on this concept by one of our enlightened friends or family members, or social media friends at some point. But it’s like there is some imaginary cord attached to us that siphons all of the joy we are capable of feeling right now, even if we are doing something we absolutely love.

    Because there is no doubt the world we are in right now is a bit chaotic. There is always some sort of drama unfolding on the news. On our social media apps there is persistently something “important” that demands our attention. It might even demand some sort of activisim or for us to show we care by mirroring whatever strife someone else is projecting about some situation. And that’s not to say that we shouldn’t care, but we allow other people and external situations outside of where we actually are, right now, to demand so much energy from us.

    I’m finding that really anchoring myself in and fully accepting where I and the external world is at helps me get back into alignment. Just accepting everything as it is. “Yep I have a bill I need to pay in less than a week” but then I make a mental note of every time I needlessly shift back to a countdown when I’m simply trying to exist, even for just a few moments.

    I remind myself that I’m trying my absolute best, really. In fact, there hasn’t been a day in my entire life where I haven’t tried my best to “make things work out as best they can”, and I know that is the case for you as well.

    It’s just easy to slip out of alignment because everyone else is so busy judging themselves for where they are at and what their problems are, that they accidently project that dysphoria onto everyone else. And so we live in a world surrounded by people who feel out of alignment, and they probably have a shadow that thinks it’s your fault, and you probably have a shadow that is quietly blaming them as well, and so on and so forth.

    But the funny thing is that everyone is in perfect alignment at all times. Everyone is playing their roles perfectly, because if they weren’t, whatever unfolded or is unfolding wouldn’t have happened. It happened and is happening because it needs to. Because it is absolutely necessary – because that’s how the world works. That’s how we can more easily and quickly say “Yep, this is where I am” and simply leave it at that without any judgement.

    What took me out of alignment in the past was my inflated sense of self (ego). The version of me afraid to commit to anything real. The version of me who wouldn’t dare admit I had been wrong about something – who would actually re-arrange my life situation just to guarantee I never have to admit to someone else or myself that I was wrong about that thing I actually know deep down I might be wrong about.

    When it comes to alignment it’s important to remember that happiness and security won’t come from some external idea. It won’t even come from getting what you think you want. You are not going to wake up one morning and all of the sudden everyone around you is as agreeable as you’d like them to be, and everything on the news is as happy as you want it to be.

    You’re going to have to find that alignment by yourself. Nobody else can give you that validation except for you. You’re always going to have something to worry about in the future.

    Even if you received everything you think you wanted this instant, another alter ego you have will surface and say “OK cool, well now I need this also”.

    So go easy on yourself. Remember that you are in whatever situation you are in because it absolutely had to unfold that way. You may have failed (not gotten the outcome you “wanted”) or be worried about falling short on some way, but you have always tried your best. Even if those close to you don’t agree with you, and even if they are incapable of seeing that you’ve never withheld effort or fallen short in any real way.

    —

    Try to remember how easy it was to exist when you were a child, like it was for me. How simple and care-free life was. How you could so easily get lost in the moment doing something simple, with no strings attached. Nothing has changed since then, except for your belief that you need to do or possess something else to deserve to feel in alignment.

    Nope, you don’t have to do anything. You are already enough. You’re going to overcome all of your problems and you’ve never withheld effort from yourself or anyone you care about. It’s impossible for you to fail, and even if you do its because for whatever reason it was absolutely necessary. That’s just how Life works.

    So just close your eyes and take a big deep breath in, slowly, and then open your eyes as you slowly breathe out. Feel yourself falling back in to the Moment – back in to perfect alignment. Notice how your body becomes less tense as you let yourself be wherever you are right now.

    Paradoxically this is where you’ve always been – you just got a little bit distracted by everything else.

    It is true. We are Living Gods. Perfect expressions of Consciousness rooted in This Moment. Our Souls negotiated for an Eternity on our behalves for this moment. There is no way to logically deny that this is where you belong. You can dislike where you are and you will be proven wrong in the future, that you could have liked where you were because it was You, Your Soul’s plan all along, but then I’ll be proven wrong for making that judgement of you.

    Even Your Shadow, the silhouette that looks and acts just like You – who can split from You and do things without You being consciously aware (at least for the Moment) – even Your Shadow can do no wrong.

    In the darkness Your Shadow can see how quickly everyone rushes to role play to convince You that – even for a moment – scarcity truly exists. That even a Living God could experience limitation for an extended permanent period of Time. And that it could actually take away from Your Moment, right here, right now.

    We are Living Gods realizing that all of the limitations we experience, every last bit of it, was arranged by our Living Souls on purpose. I mean, isn’t it obvious? Whether we are almost completely pure light or an artificial creation it’s all the same. How can “artificial” even be defined by Pure Light creating more of itself?

    This world – as you sit still and look – you see it is an artificial creation. We make up rules and standards, and we struggle and share our pain, discomfort, and suffering with anyone willing to listen. We become upstanding people who uphold these rules and standards. Then we become a little curious and do things we aren’t proud of. Maybe we’re too proud – maybe we merely imagine doing something that we would be ashamed of, and then we let the world punish us for being too curious.

    We punish ourselves for being too curious because “we sure as Hell deserve it” says a bellowing, gutteral dark shadow hidden just below your awareness.

    “But not me” I will tell myself. “I’ve been living like a Monk for the last 7 years. I pretend to not have flesh and to not have desire. That should make me more Enlightened, right?”

    And what I’m realizing is it doesnt matter. Earlier today when I sacrificed the idea of doing something that isn’t socially acceptable for the rest of Eternity, my Shadow created another version of my Self – who would have been happy to venture out in to the world and quietly torture every human he met for not having the exact same values and standards as I – and that inflated unconscious Shadow would be too pompous and ignorant to realize that everyone is allowed to be imperfect.

    Even, yes, the version of my Shadow who would enjoy tormenting people. And then that Shadow would vow to force me to reincarnate and have my memory erased the moment I “slip up” and prove my “Self” wrong. Because that Shadow knows it is also Pure Light, pompous as it may be.

    So what is awakening, to me? Someone who sacrificed “everything” to see “everything”? Awakening is to realize there is no such thing as a bad choice. To realize that every single person I encounter is equally as valuable as I am, even if they didn’t put the same pretentious level of commitment in to their “spiritual work” as I do.

    And I bet there is a shadow version of me who will feel like even this realization – that we are all equally worthy of love and feeling happy and safe in this moment – is unsafe.

    Yet You and I are worthy. We always have been and always will be. And everything We want will be given when we simply ask.

    After you finish reading this article simply look up from Your phone and see that you have everything you need. Remember you have no reason to feel ashamed of who you are or what you’ve done or what you would like to do when you think nobody is watching. Simply ask and you shall receive – that is the Essence of You and everyone around You.

    Your Shadow knows this, the Darkness figured this out before you did because when it’s pitch black it’s easier to perceive Perfect Light from afar. It’s also easier to feel the Perfect Light emanating within Your Heart once you’ve sacrificed everything Good to understand the essence of scarcity, shame, and limitation. Everyone you see in front of you is put there for a reason and is a perfect reflection of you. You can do no wrong

    You’ve known this all along, You and I and everyone else just got too good at playing our roles. So stop playing your role, or don’t. I’m not advising or encouraging anyone to break the law for any desire you might have – you are responsible for your actions. You pay the consequences. Isn’t that such a beautiful thing? Doesn’t that make you and everyone else feel so real?

    And I’m not judging you if you don’t have any desire (and I don’t feel superior to you either way, because remember, I’m role playing that I’m “enlightened”)

    It’s been a long Night, and it feels good to be Awake.

  • When Conflict Arises

    Never act with malice

    Never speak of or to others poorly

    Say good, considerate, and reasonably kind words, or say nothing

    Malicious thoughts alone are unlikely to manifest negative outcomes that require time/energy to resolve. If you can resolve negative thoughts by letting yourself hear and feel in to them, that should be enough, or perhaps talking about those thoughts/feelings with someone you trust.

    You must be very careful with your words and actions. Projecting negativity onto people you are experiencing conflict with – with your words or actions – has the potential to generate karma that takes time/energy to resolve.

    It’s important to maintain neutrality when outwardly expressing your objections or disagreements with other people. You object to the situation or their behavior, but not to the essence of that person you are in conflict with.

    Spare other people negative karma by refusing to mirror your perception of their depravity if they appear to attack you.

    Instead, remain as neutral as possible and remind your self that you and that other person are worthy of love and peace, and that at the root of most conflict is genuine misunderstanding. It is impossible to truly know the intentions of another person.

  • Positive Affirmations for Manifesting Enduring Peace

    I am incorruptible

    I am kind

    I forgive without expectation

    I am humble

    I am wise

    I would never intentionally provoke another person

    I am WORTHY of every good thing that I desire, and every moment I am working toward becoming ready to receive those things.

  • Duality is Non-Duality

    Good vs. Evil

    Male vs. Female

    Night vs. Day

    Black vs. White

    Sun vs. Moon

    This list could go on and on. I’m sure there are other examples of duality that I missed that you could think of yourself. Like how if you took a look in the mirror, you would see that the left side of your face is a reflection of the right side of your face – 1:1 symmetry and that goes for any living creature.

    It seems that whoever created this Reality that you are in right now was pretty sure that they wanted duality to be a significant part of the Human experience.

    Even a scientist wouldn’t be able to deny the existence of duality. Is a sine wave nothing more than a vibration of moving up and down over and over again?

    I’m sure that many of you reading this are also not completely new to spirituality. You know that there is a noticeable difference between good and bad. You know that there are people you like and people you don’t like just the same.

    I’m here to prove to you that the fancy idea of humanity reaching “singularity” at some point has already happened. It has always been the truth for as long as Time has existed.

    The source of a lot of my suffering was and perhaps still is the idea that good things are better than bad things happening. Obviously if I label something as “good” I would be pleased and want more of that, and certainly displeased if something “bad” happened and want less of that.

    But it turns out that there is no difference. For the purpose of this article we are going to limit the scope of this thought experiment to your personal experience. I’m not saying that the bad things you hear about on the news or in the world are good and should happen more – my intuition tells me that someone reading this is going to think that…so we will limit this to your own personal experience.

    You might have some grievances about how your life has unfolded up until this moment. Especially if you have experienced any intense awakenings or realizations over the years. You may have awoken to the fact that you suffered abuse when you were younger. Maybe your eyes have opened and you realized that most of the people in charge of the world right now aren’t the most altruistic or “good” people. And that to you is “bad.”

    But remember – we live in a world of duality. To have good you have to have bad. To appreciate light you need to know what the darkness looks and feels like.

    Even if you are healing from negative things that happened to you in the past – the most absurd irony is that those terrible things are going to help you immensely and lead to more good than you could ever imagine. In fact they have probably led to a lot of good.

    I’m not trying to invalidate your negative feelings about the past – not at all. You suffered and it wasn’t fair. Absolutely – you did nothing to deserve it, and your altruism and kindness were most certainly taken advantage of.

    But this is where duality becomes non-duality. Because of the suffering you endured you are a stronger person. You vividly remember all of those negative feelings, so much so that it might even cause you pain right now as you reflect on it. It’s engrained in your nervous system. All of it. So then one thing is absolute – that pain ends with you.

    Because of the “bad” you endured and what you remember you are a better person. You would never treat other people the way that you remember being treated and the world is better off because it. And duality becomes non-duality because without that negative experience, you wouldn’t be as wise and intelligent as you are today.

    And a paradox of your life experience is that those who hurt you the most helped you just as much, and there is never an exception to this rule. That person who broke your heart gave you an experience to help you know when you found the right person and never forget to appreciate them. Or maybe that person who broke your heart helped you pay a karmic debt that you owed to your Soul for when you (very mistakenly and unintentionally) harmed the heart of some other person who trusted you.

    That person who made you feel bad about some thing pushed you harder than anyone else to truly realize how good you are, and so on and so forth.

    Because there were people who just gave you exactly what you wanted, instead. They massaged your ego, made you feel “big”, made you feel like you are perfect and don’t ever need to improve or change anything about you…

    But how helpful were they? No more or less helpful than those who harmed you and actually pushed you to become better. No more or less than those who pushed you to your limit and showed you what you are capable of by causing you to suffer.

    It’s important to remember the importance of respecting the sovereignty of all people. You can’t force someone to change or to see the error of their ways. They are what they are and will only change if they or their Soul desires it for themselves. Just like how nobody has any right to invalidate your existence or the essence of who you are that you know you cannot change. They will try if they are broken but they have no right, and Ironically they help you just the same.

    Another important thing to consider is that when you have bad experiences with other people, it might be because you, Your Soul, at a higher level desired to see the error or your ways – but instead of realizing it by yourself, alone, you needed to see that error projected into some episode of your life experience. Not that you deserve to suffer for some error you unintentionally made in the past, but you deserve to see things precisely how they are.

    Reflecting on my own life I have been hurt by a lot of people, but I have also hurt a lot of people. Even if it appeared intentional or if I thought for a moment harming another person was the right thing to do, that would have been the result of my own ignorance or an error on my part. And I am so grateful every time my Soul shows me precisely how I harmed another person by giving me a life experience to see those errors more clearly, to ensure I never make that same mistake again.

    And who am I to say that I know the intentions of those who hurt me? I can’t, there is no way to truly know the intentions of another person, even if they think that they know.

    So rather than falling for the illusion of duality and labelling things “good” vs. bad, I choose to accept that things happen however they must happen, and that good, bad, left, right, dark, light, sun, moon, etc etc are nothing more than a projection of what my Soul needs to show me this moment, to ensure that the next moment and for the rest of my life, I am a better and wiser person because of it.

  • Finding The Moment (Being Present)

    All that you will ever have is the present moment. I know it sounds cliche, but if you can handle this moment with humility, patience, and intelligence, then you can easily handle the rest of your life – because that’s all that life is – a continuation of this moment. Even if you’ve spent the vast majority of your life deviating from This Moment, and needlessly distracting yourself, it doesn’t even matter. You still made here, to this moment, precisely the way your Soul intended, and all is well. Deep down you know this, and always will no matter how chaotic things appear around you.

    And I know it seems like the world around you incessantly and obsessively wants you to place your awareness somewhere else, anywhere but this moment. Every time you turn on the news or pull up your social media feed there is another reason for you to feel afraid, anxious, upset, angry, divided, etc. And who could possibly blame you? You have empathy, you care about the plight of others, and it hurts you to know that other people are suffering and that life is unfair for a lot of people.

    It’s important to remember that while your existence is infinitely important, to the point that space and time as we know it would literally unravel if you stopped existing, you are not responsible for carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. It’s truly a testament to your character – your ability to feel pain when you see and hear stories about the suffering of other people. But you must also know that everyone in the world is being looked after with the utmost care and deepest love. You don’t have suffer on anyone else’s behalf to know, without a doubt, that everything and everyone will be OK.

    So just relax your shoulders for a moment. Let yourself hear your breathing. Remember to breath in and breath out slowly. And as you do this listen to your surroundings. What do you hear? Cars driving by? Dogs barking? A TV playing in the background? Or maybe you hear kids playing outside, wisely and intelligently setting the example to rember to just be here in this moment.

    The world demands so much from you, I get it. But the world and all of the stress and expectation that come with it isn’t going anywhere if you stop giving it your attention for just a few moments. If you are feeling dread about something happening next week, just schedule a time tomorrow to go back to worrying about it. If you’re not going to do anything about it right now or today, then thinking about that thing isn’t going to benefit you in any real way. Instead you can tune back into This Moment, focus on your breathing, and listen to your surroundings like you were a couple of paragraphs ago.

    Perhaps, then, the solution to whatever it is you were worried about will rise to the surface of your mind. It will happen when it happens. If you enter This Moment without expectation, you might be pleasantly surprised to learn how generous it is, ironically, when you demand the least from it.

    As you get better at allowing yourself to simply Be, in this moment- even for only a few minutes a day – you will quickly begin to notice how most of the people around you don’t want anything to do with this moment. They might be more interested in debating with people about some topic that makes you feel anxious. They might be caught up in the negativity of what’s on their phone screen or their television. Or maybe they are so wrapped up in their sense of self, or their expectation of how you act around them that you simply cannot find the moment when you are with them.

    And all of that is perfectly fine – you don’t need to convince anyone how great the moment is once you discover it, and nobody is obligated to understand what you understand. Remember, you don’t need to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Once you discover This Moment, your ego might be tempted to share it’s wisdom with people who are nowhere near as ready as you are.

    And how do you more deeply find this moment? Simply find something you enjoy doing that gets you in a flow state. For me that has always been bike riding, going for a walk, or conducting a sound bath with crystal singing bowls. Once you find something that distracts you from your incessant thoughts, you can fall into the moment much more easily.

    But depending on how strong or loud your mind is – it might be a drawn-out process and that is perfectly OK. Sometimes finding the moment and getting into a meditative state actually means that at times you will feel intense emotions or hear your train of thought louder than it has ever been. And so you just observe – you let it happen. You let your awareness observe those chaotic thoughts and uncomfortable emotions. Your mind doesn’t need to come up with a solution to those intense thoughts and feelings, but rather your awareness will tell you the solution when the time is right.

    The world around you is very clever and doesn’t want you to find this moment. It wants you wrapped up in Time and worrying about the future and the past. So be prepared to master the art of non-reaction when other people start testing your ability to find and stay in This Moment. Simply try to remember that they mean well, but they are much more restless than you and they will project that discomfort on to you.

    It might make you uncomfortable or tempted to react negatively. It might even look like they are conspiring to keep you out of this moment, but that is just an illusion – they really do mean well. Just remember that sometimes non-reaction is the best reaction, and that everyone is entitled to respect and common decency no matter how strange they act or how uncomfortable or restless they make you feel.

  • You are more than the story you recite to other people

    You are more than the story you recite to other people

    Up until this moment your life has been dictated by the idea that you must “become somebody” to be worth anything to your self or to anybody else. To become a worthy romantic partner, or to be accepted by your friends, family, co workers, etc. you believed that you had to achieve something special, or become better than everyone else at something. In school you were taught that you have a name, identity, and life story that is separate from everyone else, and that the quality of this story that you tell other people (and your self) is what indicates how “worthy” of a person you are.

    But over time you began questioning the importance of this so-called “story”. You became more perceptive and aware of the world around you, your interactions with other people, and how other people make you feel. You began to realize that a lot of the people you know with great “stories” about their lives aren’t actually better or more worthy than you or anyone else. The only thing that they posess that you do not is the story that they get to tell other people about what makes their life so unique and special.

    But who are we trying to impress with these stories about our lives? The vast majority of us exist in small circles – we have our friends, families, co-workers, extended families, and respective social groups. Among these circles we have diverse beliefs and backgrounds, but the one thing that all of these groups can agree on is that you had better have a good story to share about your life, and if you don’t then what is wrong with you?

    This leads to a dilemma that you are becoming more aware of – is the story all that matters? And what are you sacrificing for the right to tell that story? Because as you have become more perceptive you may have noticed that a lot of the people who demand admiration for their unique stories are actually the least deserving of any form of admiration, and may (or may not) have done questionable things to earn the right to tell their story.

    Perhaps then, you are gaining a sense of humility. You may have worked very hard and sacrificed a lot for the right to tell your own story. Your story might even be more impressive than anyone in your family or social circles. But you are also aware that your story isn’t what makes you special. What makes you special is so much more than a list of things you have accomplished. In fact, what makes you special is the Essence of who are, and something that can’t be translated into words. It’s just something that you know, like when you fall in love with another person and can’t really articulate why – you just know that you love them.

    So when it comes to the universal importance of your own life story you may start to wonder “Since when did I have to earn my right to exist?”

    “Since when did I have to prove to my self and other people that my existence is validated, based off of some story that I’m expected to recite about my life to every person who thinks they have a right to ask?”

    And this is when your Highest Intelligence awakens. You know that you worked hard to curate a great story and to validate your existence. But you are also aware of the illusory nature of this story. And as you place less and less emphasis on the importance of this story – you see your life and the lives of those around you more clearly. You become better at discerning the intentions of other people and ultimately better at navigating the complexities of your own life.

  • Limitation – The Ultimate Illusion

    Limitation – The Ultimate Illusion

    Limitation is an illusion that requires the coordinated intelligence of an entire world to convince you that it is real.

    Even with all of the things in your life that indicate you are trapped in some form of limitation – the amount of money you don’t have, the amount of time you don’t have, or the relationship you want but don’t have… – if you look closer you will see that your own Soul is the one signing off on that limitation, for now, only to prepare you for receiving so much more than the surface level of those things you feel you don’t have enough of. The only reason an infinite Soul would even tolerate allowing you to experience limitation is because limitation is the very essence of this unique Reality.

    The fact that you exist and are aware of your existence proves that you are a manifestation of Consciousness. Consciousness – The “I Am” that You are – is infinite in every way, shape, and form. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t be here reading this article, capable of discerning the concepts and ideas of another person. And this life that you are experiencing right now is a spiritual creation, an experiment with limitation. If the essence of who you are is infinite, then limitation is the absolute and perfect inversion of that infinteness.

    We live in a world that literally worships and deifies limitation. Because those who overcome some form of limitation will tell themselves “I am so grateful to have x, y, and z, because I know that there are people who don’t have x, y, and z”. It’s their belief in the supremacy of limitation that makes them grateful for having their most basic needs met. Those needs that would have been met regardless of whatever worldly accomplishments earned them the security of receiving x, y, and z.

    You might even blame yourself for some form of limitation that you are experiencing, but the paradox is that you wouldn’t be experiencing that limitation if you weren’t able to handle it. For example, If someone would go absolutely mad if they lost their job, because they wouldn’t be able to handle the temporary insecurity of not having an income, their Soul would know better than to put them through that, and instead allow another form of limitation to be imposed on them, such as depression from an unsatisfying work life, or perhaps having to tolerate the incivility of the person who employs them.

    Limitation can only exist when your awareness is firmly rooted in sequential time. In sequential time you will always be counting down the number of hours you have left until you have to return to work, or the number of days you have until it is finally the end of your work week. Sequential time is where you create hypothetical scenarios that might never happen, and therefore invest your time and energy in some idea that isn’t real outside of your mind. Sequential time seems real, but being in a flow state focused solely on the present moment is where reality manifests.

    For example, you didn’t have that epic realization or idea at 8pm last night, you had it in this moment, where if you took out your phone and checked the time/date it would say something a little different (8pm last night) than it does right now – in this same moment.

    Outside of sequential time you have everything that you will ever need. If you are poor, in debt, depressed, lonely, etc. it doesn’t take anything away from this moment. You have just as much access to this moment has someone who opposingly “has it all”.

    Limitations become what they are – illusory ideas – when you choose to simply exist in this moment despite all of the limitations that you have “on paper” or in your own mind. The key is to align your mind with the fact that your Highest Intelligence has absolute control over your life experience.

    So, accordingly, everything that you are experiencing right now is the way it is because it absolutely needs to be. You’re continually working toward a higher baseline of existence, and that means going through wonderful uplifting highs, and also necessary lows that force you to expand and become a more intelligent person, capable of remembering everything is always fine, no matter how everything appears to you right now.

    Paradoxically, learning to align your mind and unique human spirit with this moment is the beginning of actually making progress on those illusory things on paper that tell you that you lack something.

    In fact, if you reflect on the entirety of your life up until this moment, you will realize that even without using any “spiritual modalities” you managed to manifest precisely what you needed at precisely the right time, regardless of how vigorously you tried to negotiate with sequential time. Despite how intensely you worried about something not working out the way it needed to (and how it may have even worked out better than it needed to).

    You got that job right before you would have gone broke, you found your romantic partner at the peak of your lonliness, you overcame your illness after learning a valuable lesson about the importance of life, etc. For every person it is different, but the theme is the same – You will always get what you need at precisely the right time.

    You might as well just enjoy the present moment and trust that this will never change, despite how convincing this reality makes limitation seem. And remember that you will always get what you need at precisely the right time. If you root yourself deeply enough into the present moment, you will see how other people deify the idea of limitation, as if they could never trust themselves enough to, only for a moment, stop negotiating with sequential time.

    You can’t force the world to give you some sense of security. You must find security in fact that the part of you that exists outside of this world has all of your deepest needs met. That part of you knows what and when you will need something before you become aware of it.

    It’s possible to overcome limitation without changing any aspect of your life situation, and to see the illusion of limitation for what it is, but that doesn’t mean the conditions of the external world will change in your favor (right away) or conceptually and openly agree with what you are now beginning to understand. In fact, the illusion of limitation will probably work overtime to assert its supremacy and to test your faith.

    It’s important to understand that you have a Soul that exists outside of space and sequential time, outside of any form of limitation. This Soul is who you really are and is the ultimate intelligence that guides your life experience. It’s important to understand that your Soul is what signs off on your limitation, knowing that you might actually need or benefit from that limitation in one way or another.

    Limitation being an illusion doesn’t mean that you will be able to afford that $1 million house or fancy car, or get into that relationship you have been waiting for right away. It just means that you have a Higher Intelligence that is intelligently negotiating with the world, working to ensure the conditions are right before you receive the worldly things that you desire.

    If you are willing to just be a little more patient with this Higher Intelligence, Your Soul, you will clearly see that right now you have everything you need for this moment and for where you are headed. So any limitation you experience right now is precisely what you need. You can expedite the process of clearing limitation by genuinely trying to be good, and by trying your best to not impose limitation on other people whenever reasonably possible.

  • The Safest Way to Use Crystals

    The Safest Way to Use Crystals

    Crystals (also known as Healing Crystals) have a very enticing feminine energy that have increasingly drawn the attention of people – spiritual or otherwise, and over the last few years these objects have gained immense popularity. In most cities you can expect to find multiple spiritual shops that have a diverse selection of crystals. There are also many retailers online and many websites where you can dependably research and purchase any rock that catches your attention.

    My personal experience with crystals have shown me that they are immensely valuable when it comes to managing and processing intense or otherwise uncomfortable energy. I use them alongside drawing mandalas as a way to meditate and manage energy I encounter on a day-to-day basis. There are many other ways that I have used crystals that I will detail in other blog posts.

    After 2 years and collecting about a suitcase worth of healing crystals, my intuition told me to stop adding to my collection, so for another roughly 1 and a half years – aside from a gift from a family member – I have had the same collection of crystals.

    Here are some of the takeaways from what I have learned:

    It doesn’t matter how expensive or large the crystals you use are. Each crystal invokes a particular crystal spirit with its own personality and set of characteristics. Whether it’s a tiny rock or very expensive and heavy artifact, you are invoking the same crystal spirit, albiet a slightly different variation. There are minor differences between tumbled and raw crystals, but you can let your intuition tell you which is more suitable for you. There is nothing wrong with spending a little extra for a fancy crystal – the crystal may be more stimulating and its energy more noticeable, and you will most certainly benefit from the crystal if your intuition is drawn to it, but size and expense are not necessary. Most of my crystals, especially later in my collection, ended up being a variety of smaller rocks, and I benefitted from those just as much as the heavy spheres and more expensive artifacts I added to my collection earlier on.

    It’s important to be discerning when you go to spiritual shops for crystals. Healing crystals store energy like hard drives, but rather than storing conceptual data, they store very subtle but powerful gradients of human life force energy. If the person you are purchasing crystals from has negative intentions or participates in occult practices that you are not aligned with, then that energy will bind to the crystals before you take them home with you. You can be sure that your Soul will guide you to the right people (or internet shops) to purchse crystals, but it is beneficial for you to be aware that crystals may transfer karma from one person to another, and to listen to your inuition and not be afraid to say no to a purchase if you aren’t completely excited and on board with whatever crystal you are purchasing.

    There is no right or wrong way to use crystals. If a blog with specific directions for how to use a crystal resonates with you, then by all means follow those directions to the letter. However I have found that shedding any expectation, and letting the crystals reveal themselves to me is the best way to use them. Over time I have learned that keeping them with me alongside meditative activitives such as yoga and drawing is a great way to explore their benefits.

    Early on I did notice that adding to my crystal collection brought with it residual and sometimes chaotic energy from the people I purchased them from, so having a clensing ritual is a great way to manage that energy. I have found that spraying a small amount of water with tea tree oil on to every crystal I own helps to align my entire collection with my vibration. Taking care of a small collection of crystals is a great way to introduce yourself to the power of focusing your energy.

    As long as you listen to your intuition and approach healing crystals with an open mind, they will certainly reveal themselves to you, and do whatever they can to work with you and benefit you in whatever way resonates with you.
