Vent!

Hey, welcome back to the 'Road to the Promised Land.' This week, I've been doing a lot of quiet thinking about **connection**. Not just the easy, surface-level stuff, but those profound, often invisible threads that truly bind us. I'm calling this episode "All the Umbilical Cords" because it's about recognizing how deeply we're intertwined with everything around us.We're talking about the cords that connect us to our loved ones – the ones we choose, the ones we're born into. We're also exploring those powerful ties to our passions, the dreams that fuel us, the communities that hold us up, and even that deeper connection to purpose, to something bigger than ourselves, that many of us feel.It's a really raw, open conversation, and honestly, a vulnerable one for me. We'll be looking at how these vital connections nourish us, how they shape who we are, and sometimes, how they might even challenge us to grow. It’s about figuring out which cords are healthy and life-giving, and which ones might need a little re-evaluation, not to cut them off, but to understand them better.Join me as we explore the beauty and complexity of being connected. We'll share stories, maybe a few laughs, and definitely some real talk about finding strength and meaning in these fundamental ties. So, settle in, open your heart, and let's unravel "All the Umbilical Cords" together. You're loved, you're welcome, and you belong here.

Alright, so this week I'm diving deep, like really deep, into something that's been bouncing around my brain: What is Consequence? It might sound simple, but trust me, it got me thinking. I actually sat down and grilled myself with eleven questions – yeah, you heard that right, eleven!

We're talking about stuff like: Are you a risk-taker? How much are you willing to gamble for what you believe is yours? And are you actually scared of what could happen, both the good and the bad?

I also get into the nitty-gritty of what "consequence" even means to me, stripping away all the outside noise. What are the outcomes I actively try to dodge? What's the first thing that pops into my head when I hear that word? And honestly, how much of my own truth am I keeping under wraps because of potential consequences?

Finally, because I like to push things a little, I even ask myself: what's one thing right now that makes me want to just say "fuck it, let's do it"?

So, if you've ever pondered the weight of your actions, the fear of what might come next, or just want to listen to me wrestle with some pretty fundamental questions, then this episode of Vent! is definitely for you. Come join the thought experiment!

I wrote the name of this episode at my mom's office on an A4 paper. This week, I'm honestly unpacking that feeling – that deep sense of being stuck and helpless when trying to navigate life's grand plan solo, with no guiding land in sight. 'A Helpless Idea in the Mind of God' is me laying bare my struggle with control and the quiet yearning for something bigger than my own limited view. Join me for a real, personal exploration of vulnerability and the search for peace beyond our own reach. Let's navigate this feeling together."

through my recent meditation, i am learning the true meaning of gratitude. it's more feeling than words. Salvation is for all of us.

Meditate. Muah!

No opinion is worth more than mine in my life from here on out. I have given my worth over to people who, by definition of our relationship, think they could subtly poke holes in my self-dignity. Well, I let them, and that's okay, something had to happen to get to where I learnt this.

All opinion is water. All I have wrestled with my whole life was what she says, he says. I smell the jealousy, I smell the spite, it's within me, so I know this is true. I am doing away with all of that. I am doing away with all of me that clings to the validation, the little boy that loves to be every good thing in the dictionary that makes everyone else smile, but leaves his heart in a wrench. The little boy who lives in his overly self-conscious castle is repentant for all the wrong he perceives he has done all his life. The boy who dims his light so that others can feel comfortable.

I can walk on water. All opinion is water.

Hopefully, this is the last time we use someone else's ambient sound on our episode. Everything from here on out will be homegrown. Join the WhatsApp group if you like. The link is in the show notes of the previous episodes.

Episode Description:

I've been meditating. I recommend that to anyone who listens to the podcast. I am pure consciousness. I am pure spirit living in this sack of blood and bones. This body is God's Avatar. God's Avatar has a name. His government's name is Israel Och'ojila Adanehi, He named himself Asher Adanehi. This kid is a vessel. Understanding that is all I embody right now because that's all there is to my identity. Any other mode of thought outside being a vessel for the creator is limited and genuinely, as designed by the creator: As an extension of Him, I'm meant to be as limitless as the one who made, breathed, and lives in me.

Episode Description:

I have ideas, and I am pretty decent at executing them. However, these days, I have realized that there are more ideas than capacity to execute per time. Well, that depends on where my capacity lies.

I'm trusting my ideas; it's challenging to trust the "big" ones, but I am trusting them. I am intentional about them, I am conscious of them. I just trust them because by sight, my capacity is nowhere near the means to make them happen.

Where does my capacity lie? In the knowledge that I am one with God. I am Spirit, a holy son of God, free from limit, saved, whole and healed; free to forgive and free to save the world.

I'm writing down all that is inspired in my mind by the spirit, big and small. This is a hands-free level of manifestation. I believe I should trust and experience. There is no big and small. Everything just is. I am nothing, and that is a good place to start.

Episode Description:

The thought that "Eternity Is a Bird" crossed my mind after reading a verse in the bible that said, "God has put eternity in the heart of man". I looked at the sky and saw a bird, and I realized that the only superpower I desire to have is to fly. Why? I mean literally and connotatively asin soar over the problems and cares of life and leave the ground that is governed by gravity. I always thought that eternity was outside me, an occurrence in time, an event after an event. It's been here all along, as far as I have known through communion in meditation, it is the sweetest thing I have tasted. If this is the place we go when we leave this body, then I've had a taste of it already. It's sugar for the soul, It is peaceful.

I love where I am staying. I love where I used to stay. I used to think about everything that didn't work where I was. My mind perceives that there's a fault aside from me for what doesn't seem to be working, so I deemed where I stay as "the depths of hell".

An incident happened a couple of days ago that needed everyone to come together to help someone who was asthmatic get to the hospital. I saw dedicated people in the place I called "the depths of hell". I saw well again. I'm learning to see the beauty in "the depths of hell".

All the heavens and all the hells are within me.
