a sweet day, today
The day is sweet. My life is filled with charisma, and I dance with unicorns and belay into the red-wooded forest as my sweat transforms into sod-y pop, rich with the nutrients of a gay dandelion. At least this is what my soul would have me believe. In reality, in MY reality none-the-less, I am…

I am not my mind
It sounds so ethereal, and from one’s perspective it could be. I was sitting at a campsite in the Grand Canyon, reading Eckhart Tolle quotes. Being someone who has suppressed MUCH negativity because of the fear of being ‘bad’, at this point in my life I was depressed, borderline suicidal, and had much social anxiety.…

What is suffering?
I had a fruitful conversation with my spiritual teacher a few days ago, who shared with me her belief that all beings will suffer, as long as they’re on earth. “Look around,” she said, “The planet is dying, it’s part of life for all beings to suffer.” As she was saying these words, something in…

Give your life to God, is what I’m hearing in reading this card, whether you call it Universe, Jesus, Christ Consciousness or Spirit, giving your life to God will release…

Dear depression,
You rattle me in ways that I cannot even begin to describe. You rob me of my future, in my own ways my past. There are so many things I want to accomplish, depression, I want to go to grad school, learn languages, do art and write, you tell me none of that is worthwhile,…

We have 2 choices, really, when responding to struggles
First, we can choose to approach suffering and the atrocities of this world by responding to hate with more hate and divisiveness within each other. (Or, we can respond to these situations through witness consciousness, which I’ll get to, below!). Right now I have jarring emotional responses to two specific global issues that come to…

Alcoholism
Today I gave my life to God, but in a way I hadn’t before. I decided to give up the notion that I would one day be able to drink again in a healthy manner. I have been incessantly, inCESSANTLY, living in the future when it comes to my “healing” and it has been a…

Because I’m rebellious I’m going to
Because I’m rebellious I’m going to Establish my Self on here as two beings my lower case self, AKA the ego, that wants to be “tiktok” famous and run the world, as a Jesus Christ reincarnated being (I have a diagnosis of bipolar and struggle with this when I’m manic) status. My Higher Case Self,…
