In this deeply personal and reflective episode, Abel takes us on a journey through memory, transformation, and radical self-honesty. Sparked by the meditative act of reorganizing old photo albums lovingly assembled by his mother, he explores how confronting the past becomes a sacred doorway into self-awareness and healing.

Abel shares the beauty—and brutality—of “becoming” as a spiritual art form. What begins as a nostalgic reflection quickly unfolds into a vulnerable confession: the pain of recognizing one’s own darkness, the shame of past transgressions, and the ongoing process of rebuilding integrity. Through the lens of shadow work, Abel explores themes of accountability, grief, and redemption, while honoring the impermanence and fluidity of identity.

This episode offers a raw meditation on embracing both light and shadow in the pursuit of self-actualization. It’s a call to surrender to change, let go of ego, and lean into sorrow as a portal to deeper love. With poetic introspection and spiritual depth, The Art of Becoming reminds us that transformation is never linear—and that healing is found in remembering every version of ourselves.

could it be that fear is what you feel when you have identified your hearts desire and it brings you forth to a road unknown, to you and your senses? 

its important to understand that your emotions, while significant by the means with which you feel them, breathe in space renewed with opportunity. it is our deepest collective yearning to embrace fear and move beyond its borders to a restoration of self. a restoration of what we know to be true. there is life beyond the veils of this construct all we have to do is sit with the bitterness of fright. 

today, we will explore a stream of conciseness from fear to reframing. 

let me know what you think! enjoy...

Grief brings you a sense of clarity through the emotions. Will you be able to let yourself be washed away with the suffering that comes with experiencing grief? Or will you keep bottling it up and let yourself kill off the most precious thing about you? Your humanity...

A little episode to listen to whenever your ego gets the best of you. Don't let the doubt in your head get the better of the belief of yourself in your heart. You are worth more than the ego says you are.

There is not much substance to this episode. I just found myself in a reflective state of mind. I dream of a world where we are kinder to each other. That's all.

During this episode we will explore Gnostic Christianity as part of our spiritual education. I'm not trying to convince you to drop all of your own beliefs here, I am asking to question what you know. Challenge it. And ask yourself... Do I really know what my spiritual or religious beliefs come from? Or have I accepted a script without questioning if its applicable to me?
