HOW TO OPEN YOUR EYES
STEP 1: AS ABOVE, SO BELO6W Realize that your dark side, your shadow, your fears, disgusts, etc. are not to be avoided, but rather to be studied, delved into, and understood. It won’t be fun. But it needs to be done. A life cushioned off from the dark is a life not fully lived. Live your life fully.

Frozen still
I sit here with a deep gravity to my field. I sit here frozen still confused on where I should be. What should I be doing right now? How can I help? How can I stop all the suffering, all the pain, all the screams from crying out. How can I save the innocent from those who are ignorant. Save the animals who have suffered long enough from the choices we have made. Sitting here I have realized I can't. I can't move, for I have no way to get there. I can't speak, for I don't have a voice people listen to. I can't help, for I don't know if I have any power to do so. I CAN'T move and it feels like I will be like this forever. That the pain will never stop coming, that as long as we keep looking the other way, pretending that we don't see this suffering, it will consume us all. Then we won't have a choice but move and speak up. We will be forced to acknowledge what is and accept that hell is happening on earth. I am so afraid of what's to come. Our souls are growing but not nearly at the rate they need to be. We have continued to distract ourselves and shed light on only what is true to us. Disregarding truths and pain because they are not experienced by our own being. How can we be so ignorant to believe that that means they don't matter. We are all one. We are ONE consciousness living in a universe that is growing and making mistakes. I am sitting here frozen telling myself that there is nothing I can do but reach out my soul to every being that is hurting. For if they are hurting so am I. For if they are hurting so are we. These mistakes that the human race keep making have consequences and when we meet our doomsday I only hope the human race is humble enough to believe that we had this coming, that we did nothing as the world burned and mother nature spoke more clearly as she ever has. The world is on fire and I'm sitting here in my cool apartment frozen to the fact that to do something means to change. To be uncomfortable, creative, determined, loud, strict, brave, courageous and most importantly strong. We have so much power to be better than who we were yesterday. We are also so blind to the fact that we are in control of what world we want to live in. I am done with being still. Done with being frozen. I don't know how to unfreeze myself but, I know that being frozen is the first step down a long journey of self-discovery the world needs to face. I hope the world sees what mother nature is trying to say. I hope we freeze with fear so that we can rise above and stop the suffering that occurs every second of every day. I am still frozen and it really feels like I always will be. Never the less my soul knows deep inside that we are capable of unconditional love because that's our true nature, we have just forgotten. To all the souls suffering all over the world, I call out to you. I send you all the bravery and strength needed in these burning times. I send you understanding and compassion for yourselves and for your families. I send you the deepest form of love, reaching out to let you know I'm here and will continue to be there frozen still in time. I get it now. I feel it like a presence. I am frozen because I am waiting. Waiting for my orders. Leaving my body to rest and get ready for the battle that's coming my way. I might be frozen but I will never not fight for what is right and what I believe in. I am frozen still, rising slowly but powerfully.

Write here, write now
I loved to write. I still love to write. But I haven't consciously written for many years now. Back in the days of LiveJournal, Blogger, and when Wordpress was just starting out - around the turn of the millennium - I had a blog. It was real, it was honest, it was uncurated. Nobody knew me, except through my writing. And that allowed me to be relatable.

THE BOUGIE INSTRUCTOR
What a great rest stop! I was able to take a breather and reconstruct my thoughts on how I wanted to approach VARIABLE #6 of the Chain of Becoming & Staying Inimitable. If you missed out on the previous five variables, please, take the time to read my preceding stories.

Happiness Is Free!
Happiness Grows From the Inside! Your happiness is an inside job. That means that no matter what is going on around you, your happiness is sown from the inside out. It will not be affected unless you choose to use something outside of you as an excuse to take up space in your state of happiness!

Flip Your Script
Your perspective is and always will be your reality. When you change your perspective, you will change your entire life. A perspective is a point of view sowed by a set of beliefs. A belief is manifested by a chronic thought pattern on a particular subject positively oriented towards the likelihood of something being true, whether you like it or not.

Why New Years Resolutions Don't Work!
AS FAR AS I KNOW, JUST SETTING A NEW YEAR RESOLUTION DOESN’T EVER WORK (FOR ME ANYWAY). EVEN WHEN I WAS AT SCHOOL, I WOULD PROMISE MYSELF TO STUDY HARDER OR BE BETTER BEHAVED, THEN OTHER, MORE FUN THINGS ENTERED MY LIFE AND I FORGOT MY PROMISE TO MYSELF.

Life leaves its marks
Today was the last session of an applicant who wanted to change her life. She came to me wanting to have the choice and feel good about how she lived her life. When I asked her what she wanted a year ago she told me that she was drawn to me by something I had said. She wanted to live by a code, find the discipline to create a life that made her feel proud, and get out of the funk that had stayed with her for years. She is one of the few people who asked to purchase a bundle of coaching sessions up front. She told me she was serious and I have seen few people dive into new knowledge, exercises, and expressions of identity like her. Designing one's life and inventing oneself is what I call Guru Services and the product is you! What happened on her last session today made me proud of the work I do and the people I touch.
