Last night had the privilege of gathering with some of the elder yogis in the Houston area. The conversation and fellowship is amazing, still feeling the ripples of the Harvest Super Moon and Aldo's dog never ceases to entertain.

Who is your tribe, How do you feel when you are with them and what energy do you carry days after?

Catania Aldo Rob Boustany and John Chavez (DMT Quest)

What is the strength of your practice - focused movement, conscious breath, stillness of mind, etc.? What is the impact on your life? What upgrades are possible?

If you have not seen the movie - great movie with a powerful message.

From Bill Carroll:
“Disney owned the rights to this film with no plan to release it. Angel studios bought the rights. Took it to Amazon, got turned down. Took it to Netflix, got turned down. Decided to pre-sell tickets and was able to get it in 2600 theaters and beat out Disney’s Indiana Jones on July 4th. The film is based on a true story. Truth > Fiction. Left leaning media is trying to slander it calling it a Qanon conspiracy while knowing it’s a true story." ~ Post by William Jennings

Indiana Jones Budget $294.7 million
Sound of Freedom Budget $15 million

Indiana Jones (Disney) released in around 4600 theatres
Sound of Freedom (Angel Studios) released in around 2600 theatres
Indiana Jones July 4 collection-11.5 million

Sound of Freedom July 4 gross collection-14million 🔥

Sound of Freedom, starring Jim Caviezel, is the low budget movie that somehow managed to knock Indiana Jones off the top spot. Its also a harrowing and compe...

Detoxing has been the first step whenever my level of consciousness rose - cleaned up my diet, stopped consuming ideas/media that are not promoting love, and associated with growth minded people.

From Spring 2004 until August 2012 continued to refine my fasting practice. In August 2012 did a ten day immerse where I did not turn on the TV, minimized use of computer/cell, and limited interaction with people not involved in the immersion. On day seven had the most powerful meditation to that date and realized the importance of fasting was not just limited to food.

Join Albina, Dr Itamar and me for incredible vegan meals (including cooking classes), powerful yoga, transformational breathwork, cold plunges and time in nature. The retreat will provide the framework to enable a break through with enough free time to enjoy the resort and process the experience.

During Lent of 2004 completed my first successful cleansing fast (10+ day Master Cleanse) - higher energy, better sleep, sharper mental focus, etc. Over the last 16+ years I have practiced many techniques to gain the benefits without the duration or commitment of an extended liquid diet.

DAY 21 – MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE – ACTION: After 28 years of weekly travel for work when I returned home on March 12th things started changing in my life without conscious effort: exercising more, spending more time outside in the sun, initially lost interest in drinking and now drink significantly less than before, eating an organic plant based diet, and focusing on meditation/breathwork in the absence of other distractions. On May 17 started receiving the following message – Control Emotions (resist temptation to react, instead feel and transform), Elevate Vibration, and Take Inspired Action. After receiving a ‘download’ would stay focused for a while, then would fall back into my old habits, and then another message would be received that reinforced and elaborated on the previous one. Always expect to take “big” action – instead my direction is: “reduce violence through meditation”, “accelerate human evolution through the 100th monkey effect”, “release ego and connect to something larger“. How does inspired action look in your life? When do you engage in inspired action? What could you do to increase the frequency and impact of your inspired action?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Inspired action may look very different than expected; feel and transform emotions, elevate vibration, and get quiet enough to “hear” your inspired actions. Appreciate everyone who has taken time to read and comment on these entries, wish you all the best on your journey, and please reach out if you want to connect.

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT OVER THE LAST 21 DAYS!

DAY 20 – MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE – ELEVATE: Many months ago (before COVID-19) a good friend gave me a copy of “Power versus Force” with a personalized message on inside cover. As I read everything in my life continued to reinforce the principles in the book. The posts over the last nineteens days are things I have done to raise my vibration/energy/calibration. In order to make the world a better place we must first make ourselves better. What are you doing daily to increase your energetic vibration? How long are you able to maintain the higher energetic state? What throws you out of that higher state and moves you to a lower vibration?

IMPORTANT NOTE: Check-in as often as possible, understand how you feel after your last action: words spoken, food ate, activities engaged, etc. The better you feel the higher your vibration – lower vibration emotions (Shame-Guilt-Grief-Fear-Anger-Pride) and the activities associated with them will become less desirable. If you believe unhealthy things make you feel good (eating a meal of junk food, drinking excessive alcohol, binge watching TV, making someone wrong, etc.) encourage you to check-in more deeply. The last few months have enabled me to master the ability to move from an emotional state approaching unconditional love (probably not as close as I believe) to righteous anger – be aware of things that trigger you.

DAY 19 – MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE – PREPARE: Many homes have the Serenity Prayer: “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.” Know many who are upset by the big things wrong in this world (including me): government, economic system, wars, racism, healthcare, etc. and take no action (or insufficient action) to elevate consciousness to solve the issues: “No Problem Can Be Solved From The Same Level Of Consciousness That Created It”. The disruption of our lives caused by COVID-19 should be viewed as an opportunity for this work. How many of your words/deeds are motivated by fear and hate that result in violence? How many are motivated by love and forgiveness that result in peace and prosperity? What changes do you need to make to yourself to make a world a better place?

IMPORTANT NOTE: I started this 21 day exercise because I was arguing with people on FB about their belief system (i.e. making them wrong) and realized I was not yet in a place to take inspired action. Some days are easier than others not to point out cognitive dissonance.
