In this engaging conversation, Laurier Tiernan, a multidisciplinary artist based in Tokyo, shares their inspiring journey as a writer, musician, and poet, whose music and writing have travelled the world.

We discuss their new book, a debut bilingual poetry collection, Fifty-Five Ways to Survive, which sold out before even hitting the shelves. This episode uncovers the inspiration behind their work and message that with enough perseverance, almost any dream is possible.

The conversation delves into themes of self-discovery, spirituality, and the importance of following one's passion despite societal constraints. Laurier's story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone striving to achieve their dreams!

"What happens when there's nothing left to prove?" was the best performing post of 2025! So, it inspired me to start a series called, "What happens when there's nothing left to hide?"

Fate is the set of circumstances we cannot control. The conditions and events that shape our lives without our choosing.

Fate shapes the world around us, but our response to it shapes who we are; in loving fate, we claim our freedom within it.

We cannot command the cosmos, but we can choose the radiance with which we meet it!

Einstein’s equation E = mc² shows that the universe is built on transformation: matter and energy are not fixed, separate substances but interchangeable forms of one underlying reality.

1. Manifestation is easy and instant. Let your desired reality by defined, not confined, by trusting the divine unfolding.

2. We must remain consistently aware of our beliefs, perceptions, expectations, focus, reactions, convictions and energetically charged thoughts, aligning them with our desired reality.

3. Scarcity is a persistent misalignment with the understanding of the Self, the Universe, God.

This week is a poem and I hope all the poetry enthusiasts enjoy it! This poem has received some of the most positive feedback and will be in the upcoming book, book #2, of the Poetry in Eden series.

This is a continuation of last week's episode #49. I recommend listening to that one before diving into this one as it acts as a foundation for the complex concepts related to quantum physics.

Summary of this week's episode:

1. All things aside, we create “the rules” for our reality. Beliefs play a huge part in this. A master manifestor ignores the external reality and has faith in their “end-state” frequency

2. The transformation and renewal of your mind is not a one time event. It is constant, and in co-creation. Beware who has access to it

3. It is easy to become trapped in another’s point of view. Awareness is the key to transcending this

   
   

   
   

This episodes explores Hermetic philosophy and manifestation. We explore the idea that spirituality without the ability to shape one’s reality is vanity. To be “in this world but not of it” is not an escape from the human condition; it is an invitation to inhabit it more deliberately. We understand the world outside us is often only the delayed reflection of the world within.

"As within so without; as above so below; as the universe so the soul"
