“Yahweh put the world in my hands, I’m giving it back.”

— Mac Miller

This is another video recorded prior to my recent purge. Again, I’m still seeing a lot of value, joy, wonderment, freedom, and upliftment in these videos, so I’m going to keep sharing some of them with you.

The main thing to remember—in relation to ‘nondual’ transmissions like this—is: Yes, there is a ‘there’ there. And it’s right here. Boundless freedom is available now. This moment is wholeness, home, and total juiciness. You’re fully welcome to discover that. It’s your birthright. AND, as you discover that un-price-able gift, share it. Give it back. Bring it back to Earth. Let us feel your joy and love through the simplest daily acts of care and kindness. Give your medicine to the world. Help save us from ourselves.

Even as I write that, I do feel how the recent purge brought me into more of a ‘commanding’ space. I can feel how I’m urging people to ‘always bring it back to Earth’ and ‘make a difference.’ I see the importance of this message (not least of all for myself!), but I can also feel how it’s about time to start dialing down the forcefulness of it.

Because when I’m honest with myself, forcing ourselves to ‘be good’ out of some sense of moral guilt or obligation, is not the most skillful or auspicious way of going about things. Such an approach will probably always karmically backfire in some way. Resentment will build over time. Because it’s not fully authentic. Ultimately it has to come from within. It has to come from pure inspiration. We can’t force the healing of this world. We can’t force this world to be ready for universal love. And when we try to force ourselves or others to ‘do good’ and ‘make a difference,’ it invariably has a repellant energy to it. People don’t like to be told what to do, or made to feel like they’re ‘not doing enough.’ I’m totally the same. This is why I instinctively recoil from a lot of political and ‘activist’ energy—when people try to act like they’ve got the ‘moral high ground’ and you need to do exactly what they say. No thanks.

I have been serving the Earth for quite a long time. And the reason I have so much longevity and energy for this is because it flows from pure inspiration. I do it in alignment with my joy and in a way that feels like the function native to my soul. I was born to write, rap, make art, vocalize, be a dad, be a husband, be a friend, be a family member, hold healing spaces and retreats. It just flows. And yes, I’m open to serving in other ways, and I continue to ask life deeply and sincerely, “Am I missing something here? Are there other or larger ways you’re wanting me to serve?” And I’m listening deeply.

But it has to come from within. It has to be real. If there’s not a true inspiration to do it, it won’t last. And actually, I express a lot of that in a really beautiful way in this pre-purge video. Maybe that pre-purge version of me wasn’t so foolish after all. ; )

I hope the video gives you something. Here are a few quotes from it:

“Nowness holds bottomless depth.”

“When that burning inferno of grace touches your heart and punctures your heart and you feel like a heart without skin, and you’re feeling it all, you’re just weeping. You’re just weeping before this love. You shall know the truth when you weep before it.”

“All you ever have to deal with is now, and now is already done. Instantaneously, before we can even think about it, now is done. And now, and now, and now.”

“Boom! It’s here. It’s a hyper-immersive textural tapestry of wonders and you are that tapestry. It’s a pensieve of pure etheric juice and you are that pensieve.”

“You cannot escape home. You are home. You are free. You are held in the arms of infinite love here and now.”

“This now moment is the kingdom. Let it in. Let it puncture your heart. Let it into every cell.”

“This is already it. This is already the poem. This is already the artistry. Let it be as it is.”

“It seems to want to sanctify this beingness in the fires of grace such that I can be love, be loving presence, be a light of loving presence unto myself, my daughter, my wife, my family, my friends, and all beings in all worlds.”

“It’s a willingness to be in the fires, to be in the alchemical oven, the fires of pure grace, ongoingly, to let it in. Because it’s all around us… when we let it in, it begins to alchemize our total being, transfigure our total being in the direction of pure blossoming, pure flowering as grace.”
