You’re Either Real or Unreal: There is No In Between

Self-confidence comes from having a relationship with something bigger than yourself: -It might be a mission or a set of values that gives you strength (or at least takes your mind off thinking all the time). -It might be a sense of CONNECTION to everything else in the form of love, God, source, divinity or whatever else you wanna call that ‘spiritual’ side of life (which is REAL af). -It might be a sense of DUTY or SERVICE to some cause that you care about like your family or your country or wh...

If You Judge Another, You Judge Yourself

Life is just a goddam trip. You come screaming out of the womb, get slapped (in most cases) to see if you can cry (they want you to fit in), and then you’re pumped through an economic system of education to be conditioned as one of the herd. If you’re lucky, you can find a station in life that you can tolerate with people that don’t annoy you TOO much; if you’re not, you spend your days slaving away at some meaningless task you don’t really care about before you die. Yeah, it’s a trip. To top it...

You Deal With Your Childhood Wounds by Being an Adult

Nobody gets out of childhood totally unscathed. It has to be this way because childhood is about being WHOLE – or at least SPONTANEOUS – and the world we’re brought up in is designed for FRAGMENTS and HESITATION. Think about how many times you probably heard the word “NO” when you we’re growing up: “NO, you can’t go play in the road.” “NO, you can’t stay up all night”. “NO, you can’t wear that Spiderman outfit to the supermarket.” Maybe it’s a good thing that the world wears us down with ‘No’? I...

The Universe is Neutral; Thought is Empty; Life is Full.

In the human form we’ve found ourselves we’re just…human. Some people spend their lives trying to convince themselves that they’re ‘LESS THAN’ human and so they role over and give up – forgetting that they have a human SPIRIT and can stand up to fight again. Others act like they’re ‘MORE THAN’ human, thinking that they’re really above and beyond all of the amazing things that make human being such a rewarding experience – they don’t have time to feel ‘bad’ sometimes or to grow through weakness. ...

The Truth Will Make You Humble, Not Arrogant

It is what it is and you either accept it or you don’t. The truth is WHOLE and if it’s whole then by definition there can only be ONE. We like to forget this – or even resist the idea completely – because it allows us to feel good about ourselves and stay in our comfort zones. We like to think that our own INTERPRETATIONS of the fragmented reality we perceive around us is the end of the line but it’s not and never will be. Our interpretations are interpretations and the TRUTH is the TRUTH. You c...

Acceptance is the Bridge to Your True Timeline

You’re either in your time or you’re out-of-sync and the only difference between the two is ACCEPTANCE or RESISTANCE. Really, when it comes to being real and living the life that you INTEND, the final lesson and resting place of your soul in the zone is always ACCEPTANCE: Acceptance of YOURSELF and the things you stand for – your true values, your true intentions, and your true sense of morality (aligned with wholeness instead of the fragments of the world). Acceptance of the WORLD and its limit...

If You Haven’t Been ‘Happy’ Since the Womb then You’ll Try and Turn the World into One

Sometimes, our lives are a mess because we’re bitter that we had to leave the womb. I know that might sound a bit much but hear me out: For the average human being, life goes something along the lines of this: 1. We’re conceived and find ourselves in the womb where all of our needs are met IMMEDIATELY and we don’t have to do anything to have it happen (because we’re connected to the WHOLE). 2. Nine months later we’re DRAGGED kicking and screaming into a state of DISCONNECTION and are introduced ...

Most People are ‘Free’ in the Same Way a Free Range Chicken is Free

If the average free range chicken could speak, it would probably tell you that it really was ‘free’: -It can strut around the farm as much as it likes. -It can eat the worms (or whatever chickens eat) that it scrats around for in the grass. -It can move freely from one point to another within the set limits of whatever fencing the farmer has installed to keep it in place. Maybe that’s all it takes to be a ‘happy’ chicken – the freedom to have your needs met and enough room to breathe and move ar...

Your True Purpose is to Light Up the Dark

People often get lost and depressed because they feel that life is ‘meaningless’. When they start getting caught up in such feelings they’re often shit out of luck because the world reflects back to us what we see in it (based on our relationship with ourselves) and so if expect a lack of meaning that’s what we get: a VOID. More often than not, this void arises because of the void in ourselves that has caused us to send the REALEST parts of who we are down into the SHADOW TERRITORY (because the ...

Hatred is Judgement to the Max

Perhaps the closest we can get to a ‘miracle’ on this planet of ours is seeing hatred get transformed into…something REAL. Hatred is just JUDGEMENT with the volume turned all the way up: If means that – at some level – somebody has found themselves in a situation where they’ve been forced to EXAMINE their own image of themselves and instead of following through with whatever learning is asked of them and GROWING REAL they decide to project it out into the world in vehemence and rage. ALL judgeme...
