Power Plants & Plant Teachers

Psychedelic experiences appear more cognition-shifting and hallucinogenic while entheogens have a more unknowable, ethereal quality providing opportunities of seeing deeper layers of reality and having contact with emanations, spirits, or entities no doubt a part of the unconscious collective or otherworld…

Painting Mirrors (Love Over Fear)

When we first start building our cohesion of the nature of reality, we see a mirror of ourselves in reality. We ask our first questions in regard to why we see what we see in this mirror. As children, we depend on others' input, they define what we see, so we paint that image on the mirror, covering the true image of our reflection to have a dependable, unchanging idea that fits with other’s beliefs and we go on to the next mirror.

Contentment of Curiosity

In a world focusing so hard on empowerment and confidence, I'm truly pushing for something different. It's great if you're confident and empowered but it doesn't provide direction whatsoever. Contentment is also a great thing but ignorance is bliss and as such, contentment can be a dangerous focus in itself. It's too passive to stand alone as a driving force. I strive to instill….READ MORE

Fear of Our Own Minds

Talk about something that someone doesn't know and maybe even be skeptical about without any understanding or knowledge of it and they'll commonly say something like, “Oh I don't know about that.” Which isn't an egoless statement of unknowing, nor is it a… READ MORE

Love Over Fear

Love Over Fear is about seeing Love everywhere, identifying fear as a messenger of Love that's projected to us in the form of the illusion of the absence of Love. This allows us to mindfully identify what thoughts, behaviors, patterns, and ways we communicate and operate are fear-based and which are Love-based. We essentially have two ways of operating, all the way from a psychological down to a biological level. As intellectuals this applies right down into our belief systems that we inherit through our environmental surroundings.

Shadows that Destroy Relationships: Subtle Intimacy Killers

There’s many red flags that we can all plainly see as obvious “get out” signals or “must address” things in a relationship: lack of respect, avoidance, lack of accountability, lack of effort, transactional mindset, triangulation, and manipulation are some common ones. Some signals aren’t so easy to spot… READ MORE

Identifying with Traits, Experiences, and Trauma

You can build a whole identity around the characteristics you give yourself from your experiences and trauma. You can construct a whole sense of being based on what you allow your limitations to be as you label yourself different things… READ MORE

Effective Help: Support without Control

“You can’t fix someone. You can’t heal someone who needs to find their own way. You may play a vital role, but only when you let the healing happen and stop trying to force it to happen. You may think, “If they don’t want my help, they must not want to evolve.” That’s the ego; fighting for control, projecting its fix-it-all, savior mentality. It says, “If you won’t…” READ MORE

Sobriety, Psychoactives, and the Mechanics of Consciousness

Are we sober when we dream? Are we sober when we meditate? Are we sober if we’re angry or dysregulated? If we enter into a trance-like state through breath work or shamanic drumming, are we sober? Does sobriety include or exclude the traces of psychoactive tryptamines, alkaloids, phenethylamines, opioid peptides, terpenes, cholinergic compounds in our everyday foods? The very consciousness you experience is so heavily impacted by the foods you eat that we can't even tell the difference.

Dysregulation in Relationship Conflict

Sometimes people try to control their nervous system, by trying to tell you to control yours. “Calm down”, “Stop yelling”, or “I’m leaving because of how you’re talking to me”. We’ve all been there. On one hand, they’re obviously boundaries. On the other hand…

Stepping Out of Others’ Framework

People like labels. Labels are comforting. They make us feel like something makes sense. You can just slap ‘em on and don’t have to do any more tiresome thinking. The issue arises when someone…

Defying the system: finding yourself in conscious rebellion

There comes a point where the person that you've been propping up stops feeling like the one that you want to be. It’s hard to notice at first. An underlying tension, a gut feeling, a sense that something inside you wants to come out and thrive. Your body usually knows long before you do.

Inner Projections of Outer Worlds

What we see in the world, isn't always as it is. We see based on where we are. We see the frequency that we are attuned to and at the level of understanding that we have come to in our knowledge…
