Truly appreciate the mention, Andee. In that sensing we become curious. Here's a curious notion, too, in that you mentioned 'Corona' and it prompted a sense of 'silver lining' again from the recent naming of such and a world-changing event as a result. I wonder if 'they' realized that 'corona' is defined as a 'pearly glow' or 'crown of light' ? Interesting spin, eh? Let's continue to 'Soar in '24!'
Wild. Wild wild. You know, I didn’t even think of that when I wrote about it. It took place in Corona, Queens. Coincidentally at the site of the 1964 World’s Fair. I always get a little emotional running around the Unisphere. And now thinking about that same world-changing event… the beginning of the greatest mass awakening for us all. Beautiful. ‘Soar in ‘24’ indeed. ✨✨
Ah. "Why don't you conform?!" The bane of modern life.
Conformity is key to supremacy, to control, to divide-and-conquer. You and I write from different places and to different constituents, yet we so often discuss the same concepts, don't we? Because it's all really about the human condition and experience.
Spirituality and science are not mutually exclusive, as so many of us well know. It heartens me to see the mirrors and windows we hold up for each other.
I really appreciate how you are talking about shame here Andee. For many years I’ve unknowingly kept this invisible divide between myself and my desires, my dreams, my creations, all of it. I “thought” that I was leading life through the ❤️, but in reality there was always shame, resentment, and judgment latched on to parts of me that I wasn’t willing to face head on.
Over the last month I crossed paths with someone that cut to a level in my heart and soul that I had never allowed access to before. Even though I didn’t know her yet, her words of love, compassion, and understanding rather than shame and judgment helped me accept this part of me that for years always led to progressively demoralizing vices (porn addiction).
I feel myself as priority one now more than ever before. Each day I step more fully into my ✨
Beautiful when we find those light-bearers, Cole. Thanks for sharing this with me.
You are the light! Knowing that energy- that's everything. ✨
I'd caution with the use of the WORD "demoralizing." Our language is a powerful communication to our unconscious mind. That word implies that something is the opposite. The Tao doesn't speak very high of morality, because it falls in line with judgment, rather than with the natural ebb and flow of what simply "is."
So many highlightable sentences in here I can't keep track!! 💖 This piece is rock solid, love it from beginning to end and it fires me up and makes me want to stop shrinking away from it all! Congrats to you and your client for hitting such an incredible milestone! 🙌 Cheers to many more!
Ahhh thanks for the love here, AM! I'd love to know what the highlightable ones are! LMK and I'll restack them!
**Former client (now friend)- and she did it all! Micro steps forward every day! It's that elegant masculine/feminine paradox I teach ad nauseam. Inspiration and action, holding hands.
I believe in you, my friend. No mas shrinking. It doesn't look good on anyone. <3
Ok, a few of the highlights: "I think most people don’t take the time to grok that it’s all made up. All of it is an illusion."
"Again… Sunday morning. Garfield and Friends. Cereal." ❤️
"But when it’s us, do we remember to be jazzed? Or are we mentally into the “more” region already?” That unfillable hole of “not enough” seems to creep in." Never jazzed up enough!
"It comes from having the courage to shine brightly in the world instead of shrinking. It comes from having the courage to say, “I do this, and I do it well.” It comes from choosing you as priority one." It was the "and I do it well" that really spoke to me - I'm my harshest critic!
"And me, standing proud, saying, “Because the people who change the world don’t.” And I just loved that!

"Throw away holiness and wisdom,
and people will be a hundred times happier.
Throw away morality and justice,
and people will do the right thing.
Throw away industry and profit,
and there won't be any thieves.
If these three aren't enough,
just stay at the center of the circle
and let all things take their course"
You’re very welcome Andee.
Absolutely, love that. I’m going to sit with this today, thank you 🙏
