"Reunion"

My life has evolved out of the fear of being abandoned and alone. Living from this fear has served it's purpose up until this point in time. It kept me safe, comfortable and alive. But at what apparent cost I ask?
I am now waking up to the cost. It is finally landing within my awareness now. The cost feels overwhelming within my being. All these emotions arise as I write these words. Anger, resentment, sadness and grief fill my body.
I reflect back on my life and how much I missed out on because I was terrified to be me. There was a part of me(soul) that started to realize what was going on. I slowly began to wake up to this dissonance within my being. My inner world and outer world, were out of alignment with one another. At one point I felt like giving up on it all. It felt so big to start to unpack it "ALL". But something inside of me(soul) wouldn't settle for giving up and throwing in the white flag.
I began to inquire and self-reflect. I began making choices for the first time in my life that were in alignment with how I felt pulled to be internally. Something was yearning to come through my being(my soul).
I stayed true to the path of unfolding. Dissolving identities and old ways of being that kept me stuck in a crazy making loop. Sometimes feeling in alignment and sometimes missing the mark.
My confidence and courage only grew throughout the years. I began to realize what wanted to come through my being. It was my authentic self that wanted to emerge all these years.
The boy inside of me rejoices with this revelation. For the first time ever, the boy realizes he is never alone and will never be truly abandoned.
For the first time ever I truly feel seen and heard by me. No more need for external validation or approval to be me.
I move forward hand and hand with the little boy inside of me. It's time to play and be free to be me no matter what.

The more we start to share our vulnerabilities with one another, something magical begins to happen. Our energies seem to connect up within this unseen energy field that connects us all. We begin to liberate ourselves and each other at the same time. These words create an opening of infinite possibilities for you and for me. We are beginning to transcend this outdated reality one share vulnerability at a time. Things seem to become more clear with each sharing of the heart. I can feel this connection within as I write these words. These are not "my" words, these are words flowing through me. Maybe even connecting with an inner truth inside of you. Resonance is a beautiful thing, as we become beacons of light for one another. The grid expands and the field realigns. Things are beginning to click all around as we move closer to the divine. Remembering who we truly are and walking each other home one vulnerable sharing at a time. We slowly begin to see ourselves in one another, as this new narrative and way of being is yearing to emerge.

Be vulnerable with someone in your life, and see what transpires. Share yourself in a way that gives the other the permission to do the same.
We all have similar fears that are holding us back from aligning with our souls. The more we share, the more we can be there for one another along our unfolding journey's.

We are in this together and it's time to be there for one another in ways that move mountains!

With Love

Musings within a Dark Night (Unique Gifts)

I’m in this cosmic soup of life now. Many different things floating around within and without. Desires, wants, needs, ambitions, ideals, beliefs all swimming around within my being. Seems like there is constant noise within my being. At times its very challenging to try and sit with it all and process what needs to be addressed. So much is coming up for physically, emotionally, and spiritually at any given time.
I wonder to myself how long is this all going to last? A little voice in my head says wisely, “as long as its going to take”. I’m learning to listen and soften into this voice, because as I slowly start to listen to this voice a sense of calmness and relief moves through my being like a warm summer breeze. Alchemy is working its magic from within. As if a part of me knows exactly what to say and how to be in any given moment. If I can just learn how to listen to this part of me more often, things would seem to be a little bit less confusing.
I have this tattoo on my arm that says, “If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you. If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you”, Gospel of Thomas. This saying from Jesus spoke to me so much that I felt pulled to get it tattooed onto my left forearm. You might ask why do I bring this up? I feel that living this quote out is our life’s purpose.
We all carry many unique gifts that lie dormant in each and everyone of us. Most of us dreaming and fantasizing about how beautiful it would be to share our unique gifts and talents with the world. We end up settling for less for one reason or another and begin to live a life of expectations and obligations. Rationalizing and justifying in our minds, why we can’t share our unique gifts with the world. This yearning and desire never go away.
Maybe its all part of us emerging into our authentic selves and living from that place no matter what the apparent cost. Fear is what gets in the way from us sharing our unique gifts along the way. This fear can make us retreat into our shell again and we continue to play small and hide from the big bad world. Back to dreaming about sharing our authenticity with the world.
I believe that our unique gifts are born out of our ability to be our true authentic selves. There as many unique gifts as there are humans on the planet. What would the world look like if people started to bring forth these unique gifts?
Maybe a new paradigm of being would emerge. A place where instead of constantly doing and producing, we move into a place of embodying spirit and just being. Softening and surrendering into the natural flow of the cosmos.
The matrix of control begins to dissolve right in front of our eyes, and we drop back into pure presence. From this place of pure presence infinite possibilities arise, as we slowly learn to self-realize.
Giving space for our unique gifts to be born out of our beings. The world needs our unique gifts now more than ever.

What unique gifts are ready to emerge from your being at this time?

This is a rewrite of a story told once before. I gave all of myself to you or at least all of which I knew to be true. The innocence was heightened, vulnerable to the chaos of the world. Infinite possibilities, our natural birthright. Stepping into the unknown with a heart exposed. As many ways to God as human beings on the planet, the Sufi’s say. It resonates because of its inclusivity. Maybe a bit naïve, but a resonance deep within my being.

Swallowed up by the mystery of life. It’s meant to shape us through alchemy of the heart and mind. Shaped by our past experiences, this life, and past lifetimes. Ancestral trauma stuck within our cells. We navigate these times with a greater sense of awareness. The patterns and cycles begin to speak. Our karma is starting to reveal itself one experience at a time. I’m beginning to wake up to my true authentic self.

The fear kicks in and the mind starts to rationalize and justify, a life grossly out of alignment. If we’re not careful, a breeding ground for dis-ease is beginning to shape from within. Our outer life is not in alignment with our inner life. The cognitive dissonance begins to strengthen. The journey within continues with earnest.

We’re being called to shift the observer of who we are in the world. A new way of being is wanting to emerge. One of greater alignment and authenticity.

The density of this reality intensifies as all those around you have the identity of who you are up until this point in time bound into an old and outdated construct. This is not about being the victim of your reality. It’s about waking up to who you truly are through all our life experiences and situations. It’s the journey of self-realization. Maybe all of our life experiences are orchestrated in a way to set our souls FREE!

|I feel for us to step into our true authentic selves, we must be willing to risk it “ALL”.

With Love,

Chad

In order to embody a new way of being, we must learn how to challenge the observer of who we are in the world.

Until you learn to unconditionally love yourself, you can never fully receive the unconditional love of another.

I feel most of us are learning how to unconditionally love ourselves wheter we're aware of it or not.

Are you looking for another to give you something you don't even know how to give yourself?

Stepping into our true authenticity from moment to moment, is the greatest form of unconditional self love.

Giving others the permission to do the same.

With Love and gratitude🙏

"As we sit and wait to awaken to who we truly are our veins are filled with Fear and Anxiety. Emerging as a.divine being.in a world of mere mortals is a task for the courageous"

If you've gotten this far, this message is for you. I would love to be of service to you along your unfolding journey here on earth. I'm not your average life coach who is going to help you achieve your goals that you think you want. I'm here to walk side by side with you as you wake up to who you truly are. I'm talking about becoming in alignment with your Soul and learning to live from that place. This process takes commitment, courage, radical honesty, and an all-in mentality. I believe the only thing ever really going on is our journey of self-realization. Waking up to the divinity that is within each and every one of us.

The impetus for deep inner work is at an all-time high at the moment. Individuals and all of humanity are at the proverbial cliffs edge and we have been for some time now. The world is designed and set up to keep us constantly retracting from the cliffs edge, nestling back into our comfortable lives that are slowly killing our souls. Internally the battle between ego and soul ensues. If one(you) is sincere about doing their deep inner work and taking responsibility for their lives, they get to that cliffs edge and stay a little longer contemplating the leap that they know in their hearts that they are fated to take!

This is the journey we all face at this time in history. The energies are building within and without. Burying your head in the sand is no longer an option, the internal and external noise is getting louder and louder with each passing day. It becomes difficult to breathe. We are looking for an out from this internal discomfort, but it is not found outside of our being. We must turn into the discomfort and unearth the identity that we're attached too. We must now ask a crucial question, is this identity worth holding onto? This identity along with many more inside of us are the very thing that keeps us from jumping off that cliffs edge. We intellectualize and analyze our way of being until we're frozen and stuck in paralysis. This yearning to align with who we truly are as divine beings, only grows stronger with each passing moment.

Making the conscious choice to do deep inner work, is the path to integration, remembrance and wholeness. We jump, get pushed off or fall off the cliffs edge into the mysterious unknown. This is the place where the alchemy begins to reshape us. It's as if all the things that you learned and explored up until this point in your journey begin to start clicking into place. You begin to feel a degree lighter with each and every passing experience.

We begin to see the world with new eyes. Certain gift's and awarenesses arise through our beings. We're beginning to realign with the natural flow of the cosmos. Now we must live from this new way of being.

The world is waiting for us all to express our uniqueness into the great tapestry of life. Waking each other up, one embodied soul at a time.

I am here to help you remember who you are!

If this resonates with you, I would love to hear from you. Shoot me a message and we can have a free 15-minute introductory call.

Breathing Through These Times! -

06/02/2023

In today's world, I feel we're a bit lost as men. I feel we are part of a system that has reached it's expiration date! Most of us are just showing up from old programming and conditioning, we're missing the mark. Feeling lost and disconnected from meaning, from life. Distracting ourselves at every turn just to get through the day. Not fully loving at all, just surviving until the next day arises. Oh s**t, here we go again. We feel this nagging sense that something is a bit off internally. Yet we continue on as business as usual. We come up with an infinite amount of rationalizations and justifications to continue to do what we've been doing even if it's not working. We're flat out STUCK! inertia takes hold and we continue to gain momentum in the wrong direction. Life is passing with every rationalization and justification. We all need life rafts sometimes in life. This is that life raft to help pull you back to center. Help pull you back to you. We are here to evolve, men and women alike.
If what I have written speaks to you, come join me E.V.O.L.O.V.E. men's group.
