Lessons From Nature ⁣Part 1
⁣
Finding ourselves is a fruitless endeavor. We are already everything. ⁣
⁣
Every tree has a different path toward the sun. Honor your unique path. ⁣
⁣
Nature doesn’t need us, but we need her. We must honor and respect her as our mother. ⁣
⁣
Silence is the language of the universe. We must learn to speak this language in order to grow. ⁣
⁣
Wisdom is obtained through experience not knowledge. ⁣
⁣
Understanding of oneself occurs through releasing information not consuming it. ⁣
⁣
Nature is spontaneous and simple. When we align with simplicity, our suffering alleviates.⁣
⁣
Attachment to anyone or anything denies love. Love is a state of being that awakens through the appreciation of all that is. ⁣
⁣
Labels create tension and separation. We must untether our identity from these labels. ⁣
⁣
Poisonous weeds can only be removed if they are torn up by the roots. ⁣
⁣
You cannot solve problems rationally. Silent observation alone brings understanding. Understanding brings truth. ⁣
⁣
Tranquility is essential for happiness. ⁣
⁣
It is easier to repress than to understand. Repression is the root of illness.⁣
⁣
You cannot have a healthy relationship with another human without a healthy relationship w/ nature ⁣
⁣
Every human shares the same nature outside us as well as the nature within. ⁣
⁣
Truth is the only righteous religion. ⁣
⁣
No one is a master. No one is enlightened. Nature is the only true teacher. ⁣
⁣
We are the only species that live in a hypnotic state. ⁣
⁣
Everything casts a shadow.⁣
⁣
There are only two gurus. Oneself and nature. ⁣
⁣
We cannot control nature, but we can harm it. If we continue to do so, it will destroy us effortlessly and swiftly.⁣
⁣
There is nothing to seek, resist or force. We just must align with the gusts of winds and the currents of water. It will take us gently to our destination. ⁣
⁣
The mind and heart cannot speak over each other. The quieter the mind, the louder our hearts. ⁣
⁣
God bless you all, ⁣

Lone Wolf⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It was a typical full moon night as I howled at the moon ⁣⁣
When she appeared before me and began howling in tune ⁣⁣
Be gone I said, I’m a lone wolf and this here is my peak ⁣⁣
But you are off queue and your howls to me sound weak ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Who are you to question my calls on such a hallow night?⁣⁣
I am the wolf you’re crying for, and I hear your plight⁣⁣
Your coat is knotted and gray, you’re getting old I can see. ⁣⁣
I am a rogue wolf, born of the wild earth so please let me be.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This is my nightly routine that you have so rudely interrupted⁣⁣
If your calls weren’t of loneliness, I may have not disrupted⁣⁣
This isn’t a mating call, but my instinctive mystical rite⁣⁣
So thank you for your concern, and have a good night ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But the moon is one to share, and your bitterness seems trite⁣⁣
I hear you crying to the moon in pain, almost every single night⁣⁣
I am here to save you and give you the life that you’ve craved ⁣⁣
And if you continue to be rude, I may not be so well-behaved ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I showed my red stained teeth and threatened her to leave⁣⁣
Not bad for a wolf that has made it’s living as a thief⁣⁣
I have roamed for years on this land without the need of an army ⁣⁣
And your threats to get close to me are just meant to harm me⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Stand down, hide your sharp teeth and let love into your heart ⁣⁣
Or stay here alone and let the winter’s cold do its part ⁣⁣
For the wilderness is unkinder when you prey here alone ⁣⁣
So, join my congregation and let our love be your throne⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Trust in the full moon and honor your soul’s voice ⁣
Lone wolves are always in danger, but this is your choice ⁣⁣
So, I bid you farewell my pack is awaiting my return ⁣⁣
I’ll tell them your cries were not of their concern ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
She turned her course and disappeared into the night⁣⁣
I proceeded with my callings, but they did not seem right ⁣⁣
Perhaps she was the one I’ve been hunting this whole time ⁣⁣
So, I apologized to the moon for my heinous wailing crime⁣⁣
⁣⁣
And ran into the darkness toward her and into the cold unknown ⁣⁣
Toward the promise of a new day and goodbye to the alone⁣⁣
⁣⁣

In our modern world, doing has replaced being. Becoming is more important than understanding. Yet, we cannot become someone(thing) authentic if we don’t understand the subject that seeks to transform. We have forgotten that we are already spiritually wealthy yet continue to search everywhere for “loose change.” ⁣
⁣
We spend countless hours on our careers and the fulfillment of our greatest desires. We relentlessly search for validation through relationship with another. We avoid being alone at all costs. And so, there is little time invested in the relationship with oneself.⁣
⁣
We seek to be special, successful and purposeful. We want to be somebody when we are already everything. We believe that we are not enough, and we will only be complete when we do or have more. ⁣
⁣
We have chosen belief over experience. Our minds have become our masters; strategizing and figuring out our lives. We learn, build and wrestle with outward love all at the expense of our own internal neglect. We are confused when pain and emptiness enter and linger long after we’ve accomplished our endeavors. ⁣
⁣
The mind is not satisfied. There must be more. It continues to reach and search. As the illusionary onslaught of time creeps in, the pace quickens. Panic, Doubt, Fear and Emptiness make the body sick. ⁣
⁣
Eventually the existential crisis comes knocking. Our old external strategies for coping with our confusion continue. So, we visit God on Sundays, seek gurus, bookmark memes and collect crystals. ⁣
⁣
We never stop to realize that our whole lives have been externalized. We HAVE become inwardly empty because we distanced our self from our truth. Our bodies, once a reservoir of love and truth, have been drained. The becoming replaced being. ⁣
⁣
Perhaps God is hidden within us, because he knows this is the last place we would look. All of the answers are within. We have always been enough. These gentle guided whispers remind us to return home and remember that we are everything we’ve ever needed. ⁣
⁣
Without learning about ourselves we have no basis for correct action. ⁣
⁣
Stay on the natural course. You are the One.

There is no man in human history who has more influence on humanity than Jesus Christ. There is a profound lesson in understanding this divine man. ⁣
⁣
Jesus represents our fullest potential. His sinless nature, relentless devotion and compassion represents human’s greatest capacity. ⁣
⁣
He preached for only 2.5 years. His ministry was short, but his presence was profound. He had two natures; a divine nature and a human nature. Each was a distinct center of consciousness, a distinct form of personal experience. He performed miracles, but also experienced human emotion. He was able to foresee his inevitable fate, but also grew weary, fearful and hungry. ⁣
⁣
In our efforts to live in the image of God, we too can recognize our abilities to tap into both our human and divine nature. We can align with a spiritual purpose assigned to us by tapping into this Christ consciousness. We can learn about our potential and the gifts that are available to us if we build a relationship with our higher power. ⁣
⁣
Jesus shows us that there is an ability to transcend our physical existence and experience our own divinity and God-like nature. It is a path of love, peace, harmony and bliss, which leads to an understanding of the omnipresent higher power that connects all beings in the universe.⁣
⁣
This consciousness allows us to see only the beauty and perfection in all things. It does not judge, criticize or doubt. It can be viewed as having found Truth, or a rediscovery of one’s connection with their innermost spiritual being.⁣
⁣
All that we need to experience Christ Consciousness is the will and capacity to receive it, an open mind and dedication to any spiritual practice. Once trust in a higher power begins to flourish, one can begin to attain greater levels of spiritual development and live a more virtuous life. ⁣
⁣
This journey into this higher level of consciousness may not be easy or smooth, but it is the place of our truest nature and highest potential.⁣
⁣
God bless,⁣

We have the luxury of having 2,020 years (AD) preceding us. There are countless people whom have done extraordinary things throughout history. Yet, few of us spend time learning about their lives and studying their blueprint. ⁣
⁣
Many of us would rather read a repetitive 300-page self-help book with a message that could easily be conveyed in a one-page essay. Additionally, the authenticity of these authors is often unknown or questionable. ⁣
⁣
Yet, there is a dusty aisle of texts filled with auto-biographies and biographies about great humans who accomplished remarkable achievements. These were people of action and ex*****on. They constantly practiced their craft and became masters at it. ⁣
⁣
They invented, built, led, fought, created and loved. Their contributions propelled civilization forward on an iconic level. ⁣
⁣
As humans, we are adaptable. We can become our greatest self by absorbing the characteristics of great people before us. We can learn to think like Marcus Aurelias, lead like Alexander the Great, persevere like Abraham Lincoln, love like Jesus Christ, and practice courage like Malala Yousafzai. We can also embody the traits of those closer to us. Our fathers, grandmothers, mentors, teachers and brethren. ⁣
⁣
Originality is not so perspicuous. We are a combination of many factors. However, when we become aware of how we can adapt any quality we want from another and make it part of who we are, we can level up and realize that the men and women before us were no more unique or capable than us. ⁣
⁣
They left us clues and maps on how to achieve our potential. This is not hyperbole preached by a charismatic leader or eloquent writer. This is proof. This is action.⁣
⁣
We can continue to read books talking about 4-hour work weeks, the arts of not giving a f**k and living in the present moment. Perhaps there is some value there. But, it also may be addictive; transforming us into a comfortable consumer and thus paralyzing us from taking action. ⁣
⁣
We all share a human potential that is way beyond our own understanding. Read their stories, interview them, or simply spend more time with the people that broke through their own barriers to change the world

12/12/2020

Humans are flawed and limited. We share a collective darkness that no one individual can escape. However, with the right practice and guidance we can learn tap into an infinite source energy; God Consciousness. This energy is entirely and exclusively love. We all have the potential to awaken an awareness and actualization of that consciousness within us. This is our destiny.⁣

A guide is someone who understands a respective terrain. As they complete their inner transformation, one can fully step into this power to guide others on their own journey. ⁣
⁣
We must be wary of titles like healer and guru; those who offer us unsolicited advice, involuntary counsel or neu-age spiritual rhetoric. We just need to know if they have the compass and maps needed to help us heal ourselves. ⁣
⁣
One mustn’t be perfect or complete to help others, but they must be authentic. One must understand the balance between the physical and spiritual world. There must be humility, selflessness, sincerity and love in the service. ⁣
To step into helping many people, one must go through their own journey first. It is through this process of personal healing that we can learn about the beauty and power of a higher consciousness that exists on the other side of our limited perceptions and suffering. As a result, one can begin to harness this universal power to guide that exists in each and every one of us. ⁣
⁣
It is never the guide that is performing miracles, but the receiver who allows the miracle to happen through trust and surrender. The guide is simply the channel for source energy. ⁣
⁣
In my own life, I experienced the most growth when others empowered me to access my own wisdom rather than giving me answers. The spiritual teachers that helped me expand my worldview without telling me what to believe or the therapist who understands the awakening process and views depression and/or anxiety as a sign from the soul. ⁣
⁣
If we believe we are holier than thou than the mission has already collapsed. Terms like “chosen” and “special” already create the divide we are trying to mend. It is courageous to walk the path for yourself. Now it is time to serve others with grace and humility. ⁣

I received this message on Facebook from a grammar school friend and soccer teammate. I remember this day pretty vividly, yet it never really surfaced in my memory. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My Father never once spoke of this event; not to anyone, even myself. He kept his word to my friend 30+ years ago and honored their agreement. There was no need to brag, no need to ever re-live a private experience that wasn’t his own. He gave his word and he kept it. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
He didn’t look for attention or accolades. My Father was simply called to protect another boy's pride and a woman's struggle. In that moment, he answered the call.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Other men may have froze with fear, ignored the situation or basked in the melodrama of the event. Some may have mocked or shamed the women. My Father instead chose fearlessness, humility, gentleness, honor and love. He was willing to father another young boy in that moment and protect his mother in a time of distress. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We learn best not from the words of our fathers, but from observing their behavior; especially when they don’t know we are watching. Because of my work, I am often asked to define the healthy masculine. My answer is typically "you will know it when you see it." ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
This post is a celebration for all the men who lead with love. To all the men who calmly and fearlessly take matters into their own hands. To the men who not only protect their own, but those who cannot momentarily protect themselves. To the men that understand that Fatherhood is a way of being and not just a privilege of bloodline. To the men that honor their commitments and their word. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Thirty years ago, two boys witnessed healthy manhood in action. Today they are better men for it. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Thank you Dad. ⁣⁣

When we pay attention to our life story, we understand the deep spiritual correlation to our selves and others and learn our purpose. ⁣
⁣
This is how we decode our life and avoid an existential crisis. As we step into this purpose we move further away from emptiness, sadness and apathy and closer to the revelations of beauty and truth. ⁣
⁣
It is not about becoming a master, but becoming the model; a guide for those who don’t have the map to find and heal themselves. As we step into this role, our own soul evolution accelerates. We are rewarded with new found energy and meaningful connections. Our focus shifts to the "others' and our journey becomes a blueprint for them.⁣
⁣
Teachers, Gurus and Healers are not complete for they are not divine. Yet, they are special and courageous humans who are doing important work. We must not forgot, however, that this is God's work and we are simply vessels for which this mission must be fulfilled. ⁣
⁣
Mastery is a lofty goal usually dealt by the ego. Fulfillment, on the other hand, is heroic. All we have to say is "Yes."⁣

I was wrong about CovID-19 and it as turns out I am wrong pretty regularly. I was wrong in thinking that we'd be back to our ordinary lives within days or even weeks. I was wrong about the fatality rates and it's rapid global reach. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
So here I am 5 weeks into quarantine occupied with endless thoughts battling for time in my mind. I can see them so clearly now as I am unable to easily distract myself. They come fast and furious and always without warning. They repeat themselves and tend to dwell on the past. They are rarely kind and are filled with judgement and angst. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
My thoughts tend to be a punch bowl of opinions, biases, judgements, theories and recycled memories from the past. They compare and critique. Sometimes they lighten up. I often feel like a schizophrenic in an abusive relationship with myself. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
I realize that I had become addicted to my thoughts unable to remember the last time I changed my mind. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Every one of my thoughts create a feeling that contains a seed of repercussion. Every time I am triggered because my thought is in conflict with another's it creates separation. This cycle is self destructive and keeps me cemented in my own stagnation. It prevents true knowingness. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
My inner wisdom has been asking me to stop and listen to the only real intelligence that exists. My conclusion? I AM is the only thing that I know for certain.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
My mind is an incredible servant but a terrible master. It is only useful to me when it's in service to the heart. It can be molded to help navigate myself toward purpose, love and growth. I can awaken from my dream, if I impregnate it with the truth of my soul.. This awakening happens in the presence of stillness, a gift we've all been so graciously given. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Perhaps we've all been wrong about how to treat ourselves, each other and our planet. We might be wrong to call this a tragedy. If we listen to our collective souls it may tell us that this may just be the greatest awakening humanity has ever experienced.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

What would you do if you met your younger self today? Perhaps you’d relish in his curiosity or laugh at his honesty. Maybe you’d marvel at her presence and honor her wild emotions. It’s likely you would admire their wild freedom. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If he was sad, you’d likely console him. If she was confused, you’d probably try to soothe her and offer kind advice. It’s probable you would be gentle with your younger self. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As adults, we forget about that little child. We neglect the delicacy of our nature and believe that we can find satisfaction by reinventing ourselves. Before long, we lose our authentic freedom and start coloring within the lines. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
She is still honest but withholds it because she is afraid of rejection. He is still emotional, but he stifles it in fear of judgement. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We become a harsh parent to that little child within us. When life gets hard, we blame ourselves and become victims. We criticize ourselves and feed our mind negative and untrue stories. Often, we hurt instead of comforting ourselves. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
There is a lot of emphasis on change instead of remembrance. There is nothing we need to become other than who we truly are. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Let’s dive into our memory files and find the little boy and little girl who blew bubbles in their soda, jumped in puddles, played in the dirt and laughed at bad jokes. This journey may not be easy, but it is worth it. It gives us back our childlike freedom and we once again see life as an unwavering and miraculous gift. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Would you be kind to your younger self if you met today? Well maybe it’s time to reunite..⁣
