Reconnecting with the vestiges of the past. Accepting your authentic self completely. The road to stepping into authenticity may not look like how you would like it to look. Taking full responsibility for every detail of your life. Your life is your own doing; stop complaining.

Living life bent on satisfying our self-importance vs living life concerned with how I can give. They hold the flashlight over your shoulder. The Ego's number 1 job. Collapse. Get you alone. Bury you. No one did it to you but you. Euphoria is the number one goal. It fixed everything. Trying to snuff out the overly sensitive version and the result. The world didn't sign off on the sensitive. Ending up alone with no one to show off to. Letting the true you emerge and have room to play. The war is over. New relationships. Stepping back into the family holidays as a new person. Am I expecting the family to be different because I am trying to live a spiritual way off life? What am I bringing to the holidays? Absolute vulnerability. The practicality of God. Love Actually. Should they be any different than the way they have always been? If I expect them to be different this holiday then who is the asshole? A Mother's love.

The power of the Heart Voice. Deciding for yourself on what to believe in. Playing the small self vs the expansive self. Listening to the heart voice is a calling. Taking responsibility for your life is spiritual maturity. Feedback on the lesson of Life. You can't get out of the class. The only way out is to embody the lesson. The imposter syndrome and leaning into discomfort. Discomfort is a telltale sign that you're moving in the direction of your purpose. Inner guidance is leading you via curiosity along your path. We all have a vision for ourselves. The freedom of having no choice. The necessity of meditation and how to practice it.

In this episode we respond to a question sent in from a viewer via TikTok: "What do you do to get emotional and mental relief when going through a trauma when alcohol and drugs are no longer an option?" @Forsuresam

Loving on past versions of ourselves. Trying to get relief is the issue. Feel the feelings and pay no attention to the thoughts surrounding them. Addiction is all trauma. Radical relief in an instant. Internal race to find escape. Not being comfortable in your own skin. The problem is that we run from emotional discomfort. Relief comes from facing the things I want to run from. the Ego will always want some type of relief that doesn't include it being faced. Pacification relief or true relief. The forever chase. Process oriented growth. Forever bondage. Needing others to meet your needs. Growing up without a father. No faith and no foundation. The internal mechanisms that drive us. Looking for a painting. Creating self-approval. Letting uncertainty become okay. Loving on our past self. How would I have wanted someone to guide me when I was that past version?

In this episode we respond to a question sent into us via TikTok: "How do you become one and be able to move with a baseline of 'okayness' surrounded by drama". 

Participate in the drama of life. We celebrate Paul's 1 year sobriety and he gives us a few words on it. Saying "yes" to everything. Moving from a constant state of disturbance into a state of peace. Keep moving forward. Trying to control the day. The danger of reacting compulsively to discomfort.  "I'm not okay and it's not okay". Moving through the drama with levity. Accepting the things that come to you. What we want out of life is peace of mind. God is Life. Life was always unsafe. You have to let go. The audience is booing. We are a part of the play. Finding God in the action of life. Information vs Awareness. Fool's paradise. Hits ya in the Soul. Paul's lip pillow.

When the ego is out of the way we listen different. Did we surrender or were we surrendered. The point of letting go. Our life depends on staying surrender. The spiritual muscles to navigate life. You cannot heal what is not revealed. Mind vs Soul. The quiet voice cutting through the noise. Cultivating faithfulness. The love for Sunday mornings. The narrow road. The practicality and simplicity of God. Carrying the cross. Is fear something we’ll always have to contend with? Spiritual bodies of work that help along the way. Operating out of the pause. What does with my walk with God look like? How do we stay in love with the spiritual process. Grateful for what God removes. The progression of addiction.

The power in getting real and raw. The spiritual approach. You can have doubt and change your life. Look at how you're living. Don't give weight to the mind. Take action in opposition to the mind. It's good to be okay. What do you have to lose? What do you have to gain? Are you happy with the payoff? Feelings and emotions are the things we have the most of and know the least about. Non-negotiable action. The power of choice. Building self-worth and self-respect. Excuses and wanting it to be easy. Keeping spiritual practice number one. What needs to die is the loudness of the mind.

Either face it or get put down from it; your choice. Do we need hope to change our lives? The call to adventure. Drawing a picture of a sunflower or walking through a field of sunflowers? Knowledge vs Experience. Can you draw a pretty picture? Let Life show you what it's all about rather than trying to figure it out. Let it happen. Relapsing after long term recovery. How do we keep active and stay humble? Accepting conditions as they are. Not comparing yourself to past experiences. Stop trying to get the old experiences back. It has gone away for a reason. We don't want to get attached to old information. Relapse shows you where the fault was in the foundation.  Feeling like you can't breathe emotionally. Being in the thick of it. You earned it.

Dropping into meditation and finding the place we are meant to be in. No wants. No desires. No needs. Everything is as it should be in this moment. Beginner meditation. Breath. Counting. Guided meditation. Bicep curl for the mind. The ticking of the mind. Smile like you mean it. What spiritual practice does for us. "If you don't have any time for meditation and prayer you will have a lot of time for sickness and trouble". No spiritual practice and you are at the mercy of the world. Slave to the wishing well. You don't need a wishbone you need a backbone. Watching the busyness of the mind. Shutting the mind off is not the goal. It's all vibration. High frequency. Low frequency.  Meditation is a innocent and passive process. Not saying much. Action is the magic word. Wishing it was different creates suffering. Running and hiding creates a hidden life. It's in the pain that we grow. The burning bush and red seas. Taking a new person into the world. Creating value within.
