How to know if you need a Personality Transplant (if you suffer these symptoms then here’s a guaranteed solution):

The most important relationship in your life is your relationship with YOURSELF. To some people reading this that sounds ‘selfish’ but, really, it’s just a matter of being REAL. If your relationship with yourself is as good as it can possibly be then it has a number of incredible benefits that cascade into the rest of your life: -You have better relationships with other people because accepting yourself makes it easier to accept them. -You know what your true INTENTIONS and VALUES are and so you...

Mistakes people make when they’re trying to solve their problems (Do you have an actual problem or do you ‘just’ have ego resistance?)

When you live like this you realise that actually there are NO problems once you take your identity out of the equation:

You're either ACCEPTING reality or you're trying to DENY it.

How to be real no matter what.

“Real always works” – that’s what I’m always telling my clients and how I live my own life (really, “Real always works” is just a shortcut to circumventing all of the mind chatter that stops us taking action). There’s only one problem: even though we may intend to be real, we’ve found ourselves in an unreal world where there’s more disinformation, BS, and confusion than probably any other time in history (really, not hyperbole or exaggeration: thanks to Internet algorithms and social media echo ...

Either Feel Sorry for Yourself Today or Thank Yourself Tomorrow

Sometimes, it can feel like every day is better than the next. Negative thoughts or sluggish moods can get the better of us and before we know it we’ve spiralled into the VORTEX and inactivity and heaviness: -Dwelling on the past and all of the mistakes that we’ve made. -Worrying about the wudda/cudda/shudda and all of the hypothetical “What ifs…?” where we imagine being a different version of the same person. -Comparing ourselves to others by looking at the highlights of their lives and the res...

Real Food and Regular Exercise Will Improve Your Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual Health More than BS.

Do the bascis before you start rubbing crystals and dancing under the moon.

The Real Ones Will Say the ‘Bad’ Stuff to Your Face and the ‘Good’ Stuff Behind Your Back.

The real ones won’t chat 💩 behind your back. Instead, they’ll bring that 💩 to your door and help you figure out how to turn it into a 💎(by helping you look at the truth about things together). One of the main problems with living in an UNREAL WORLD is that it can be populated with so many unreal people. The REAL ONES are out there and if you find them then you better do what you can to keep them close and keep growing even MORE REAL together – that’s what it’s all about after all: going deeper. ...

Too Much Analysing of the Self Kills Awareness of the Self, The World, and Reality.

Too much of ANYTHING is usually a ‘bad’ idea… This is particularly true when it comes to the approach we can take to figuring our ‘stuff’ out and the lack of balance we can sometimes bring to this process. Though an important part of the journey of growing real is about asking questions and testing our assumptions about ourselves so that we can push through our limiting beliefs (etc), if we get ADDICTED to the thrill of chasing insight we just end up getting in our own way. When this happens, we...

Unicorns (from Shadow Life: Freedom from BS in an Unreal World)

This is a sample chapter from the book Shadow Life: Freedom From BS in an Unreal World: When we send our soul into hiding because of our fears about ourselves, the world, and reality and the perceived threat (to the Ego) of facing the Shadow Territory then our soul will keep screaming to us from beneath the surface of our unreal faces in an attempt to get our attention and wake us up again. That’s all fine and dandy but we need to discuss another element of this unwholesome process of hiding our...

Nothing is So Important that It Can Shake You From Your Roots.

Nothing is that important.

The World isn’t Against You as Much as Your Attitude is.

It's you against 'You'.
