I remember whispering to myself, "Holy shit, I don't exist," when I first saw it deeply, saw that the separate self was only an illusion. Who I thought I was, this character called "me," was a hallucination that wasn't actually alive or real. Before this discovery, the life I was perceivably living, the life of me, was 100% convinced that 'me' was a real me. Furthermore, every ounce of suffering experienced, was 100% wrapped up in this illusion of me; meaning... the suffering only existed beca…

Worry - is a funny thing. Okay, maybe not so funny when we are consumed by it. However, to step back, and look at worry from a space of wellness, the act of worrying becomes pretty darn funny. This, of course, is what meditation allows us to do, to take a moment and see things from a much more grounded and practical place. Something I think is also kind of funny, are the mind's excuses for not having the time to meditate, because... "there are so many things to worry about!" 😂 - okay... you go…

I remember so many times 🤦‍♂️ painfully thinking to myself, and even shouting out loud, "LIFE ISN'T FAIR!"

This made me so angry, so defensive, and so guarded, and underneath all of that I was so scared. I had it in my mind somewhere that Life was supposed to be fair, and if I was a 'good' person, then I would receive my fair share. Additionally, and naturally, this turned into resentment for those who seemed to have more than more, or struggled less than I did. The silly thought... "well, th…

Can we really transcend human suffering? Well, that depends on what you think that means. If "transcending human suffering" means that you will reach a place in life where you no longer suffer, and the rest of your days will only be pure bliss, then... No. If "transcending human suffering" means anything about your future, then... No.

This is such a great point to clarify because, so often, in our human obsession with the past and future, we look for these spiritual concepts to affect the p…

Once again, we have the playful opportunity to discern the difference between what we imagine to be real, and what is actually real. In the context of lack and abundance, it is important to note that LACK is a construct of imagination and does not actually exist in reality. LACK is a dream that is believed to be real, and with belief in LACK, we both look for LACK and create evidence of it.

Simply by believing in the concept of lack, the experience of lack becomes manifest in our human-drea…

FEAR 🥺: What is it, and how does it seem to control our lives?

For me, as I dive inward and look at my direct experience honestly, I find that FEAR has nothing to do with LIFE, and everything to do with a confusion about what I am. The fear I experience only looks to project my imaginary sense of self-importance; an ego that looks to protect what it holds on to in order to validate itself as real.

Furthermore, in being radically honest with myself, I see that I am not afraid of what's real, …

Well, this is a super sweet topic; it feels a little bit poetic.

Raptured? Yes, to be fully consumed by an overwhelmingly loving presence that transcends all comprehension; no words can adequately describe it, so maybe we just say we evaporate into the heavens.

There's a sweetness to the experience of seeing life more clearly that I will forever enjoy failing to communicate. It can't be touched by my words, but it's so much fun to try. Just the attempt to do so invites me into a space that…

The confused mind seeks to find the REAL in the unreal, searching for real love, real connection, and real freedom in the dream-like existence they only imagine to be happening. The craving for what is Real, including the craving to discover what you really are, will never be found in the imagination of your mind.

I am so excited to explore this topic of how as human beings, we often look to connect with something real and authentic, but end up searching for it in places that are not real…

This topic, "Self Love," is ripe for misunderstanding and confusion. Unfortunately, a lot of us find ourselves trapped in an opposing dichotomy— where we believe we should love ourselves, yet feelings of regret and lack of self-satisfaction continue to haunt us.

Sure, it sounds nice. "Love yourself." What does that actually mean, though?

• Shall I give in to whatever urges or desires might arise because I love myself?

• Does it mean that I should think highly of myself and push away oth…
