On how to be a wizard

This one is special. Please read and share, my friends.

There is a secret truth that weeping is not weak, but the wild work of guerilla poets, quiet giants, and silent saints.

My latest piece is up on Substack. I wrote this one because so many of us doubt (or deeply disbelieve) our own goodness.

Yet we work so hard to maintain a facade of goodness, because we fall far short of the ideals we have for ourselves and we think that makes us broken, failed, “bad.” We worry others might find our faults, our darkness, and the shadows we cast and that makes the vulnerability of intimacy—of really being seen—intolerable.

So we secretly brutalize ourselves for mistakes, for perceived flaws, for having baser instincts at all (regardless of whether we act on them). And we avoid real closeness like it is an existential danger.

Imagine a world where people—like you—accepted their own goodness without question. How much kinder, more patient, loving, and understanding might they—you—be toward themselves and others?

How might that good faith affect their—your—experience of life every day? How might it change the world?

I invite you to click through and read the piece (takes maybe three minutes). Will you share what you think? What resonates with you? I want to know.

A word wash testimony to the tragedy of your secret brutality to your self

It is both surprising and unsurprising how easy it is in this life to get drawn into *not* feeling things, to go numb as a retreat or as a side-effect of the cascade of things that clatter and compete and demand our attention.

Yet beyond good and bad, right and wrong, and all the cultural narratives that whip us out of our bodies and into the overwhelm-o-sphere--maybe even beyond whatever purpose you and I find (or set for ourselves) in this life--there is this universal yet distinct thing happening to us all the time: feeling things, having chains of conscious experience.

Later, at some point, that will stop for each of us. No more feeling, no more conscious experiences. So maybe, just maybe, that is the universal point of our existences. To be here for the feeling, the experience of being alive and self-aware in the universe.

What do you think you think you are here for?

A tour of your physical and emotional bodies and an acknowledment of the curious energy of your consciousness

If your feed is anything like mine, it’s a little heavy on the feeling of the crumbling of western civilization. Personally, I’m not ready to buy into that narrative yet. You are invited to take a break and read a brief allegory of how human consciousness interacts with history & culture to define the way we each experience ourselves & the world. If you find it thoughtful, leave a comment to help me grow my writing platform!

An allegory on the nature of identity and self, born in ineffable experience, painted in language, disguised as the truth of our senses

Hello, my lovelies. I created my first post on Substack today. It's not about politics or how the world is going to hell. It's not talking smack or getting you to buy something. It's about how strange it is to become aware in the universe, how your consciousness is actually the universe noticing itself.

I believe it is vital for our well-being to loosen our shoulders, roll our necks around a bit, take a few deep breaths, tap into grand ideas, and let ourselves feel a little awe & wonder. Preferably at least once a damn day (if not 1,000 times). That's one of the things my Substack is for. If you dig it, click subscribe, so you can get in on it again next time.

And don't worry, it's okay to take a break from all the awefulness for a couple minutes. The problems will still be there when you're done. And maybe, just maybe, you might feel a little less crushed, a little more inspired to stand up and make a difference.

The Compassionate Warrior priortizes Self Care. Mindful self care is vital because it provides the foundation of the care we provide for others and the world. What does your self care look like? What could you add or change to step up your self care game?

If you're interested in moving forward with health, kind care, powerful support for others, and maybe even as a beacon of hope, DM me or email me at scott@automythic.com. I have a potent path and I'm looking for some friends to walk it with. We've got work to do.

I cannot wait for you to know you are good
to relieve the judge, send the jury home
and pronounce yourself worthy of love without condition
no more thinking your wounds are who you are
no more heroic sacrifices to atone for your shortcomings
no more hiding your distinct beauty in the deeps of the cave
no more fingers crossed that there might be some better time
or place than this

What if today is the day you finally understand no effort is wasted the only way to do it wrong is to give up growing because you keep thinking you are doing it wrong?
