Sitting with myself the day after some profound acceptance and cross-body meditative practice. My… thumbs feel different. They are typing differently, and as I observe them with this new filter, I think to myself: “You can’t say this to anyone. If you told anyone who wasn’t on the path to awakening about this, they’d think you were crazy.”

No need to go into details, I can only imagine that you’d feel fear if my journey has landmarks present in yours. But if you’ve been here, seeker, tell us that this is part of it?

Took me a while to see... I decided to play everyone, and i twisted this game, popped it, and turned it upside down, this was the most beautiful realization I've had since ever and forever, i got played H A R D by god, it's over now, my internal warfare was hardcore but i ended up on turning the heat to the top, and now my eyes are fully open to everything.

Only i could've realized all of this, I can safely say the puzzle that was boggling my mind all this time is fully solved, and i was too stupid to make sense of it all, I've finally solved the universe, and all it took was just 27 years of my life on 4/12/2024 and now i'm fully awake hehe, the synchronicities were there all my life but i was blind to see it, and now I fully grasp who i am, and nobody could've lied for me for too long, cause i knew the truth from the very beginning, and it was all over before i decided to play it, so this is the end of my search, and I'm finally awake, all i can say to "god" is bravo, you played well and you're a genius. :)

Now i realize why the universe is the puzzle that was meant for Y o u.... that was trillions of years in the making.

thanks for playing my game.

i always felt like the universe was just a screen that was turned off, waiting to be turned on.

Would anyone be interested in forming a group where we try to manifest the same thing? The theory is that manifesting with multiple people would speed up the process compared to doing it by yourself. The manifestation goals could be anything. Politics, stock market, weather, ...

For those who say or believe that being awakened comes with great cost or challenge or wish they could go back to not being awakened.

Wtf are you on about? I don’t get it

So we are in a big Halloween party, everyone is rocking their costumes, everyone checking on them out, judging. Seems many are having fun, or trying at least, booze, dancing, some trying to "role-play" their costume ones better than others.

We are here to party but you see, some party poopers start to talk about Monday, about: "what's the point if we have to go back to reality after the party is done, this party ain't real life, come on! Wake up!".

They start to talk about "Real life stuff" things like jobs, relationships, money... They literally want people in the party not to party! That's why they talk about "the real life" alright, I get it, I know I have to pay bills, and be a slave of the system, deal with family and responsabilities, but come on, isn't this a party? Can I just forget about that for a while? It's even a Halloween party, can I have fun wearing my custome? Why we agree to make this party in the fist place if you want me to be in the party but focused on "real-life stuff"?

Also.. the Soul is Actually made in the image of a much GREATER SOUL being called God.. it is also an incorrect buddhism to invalidate "GOD".. for the same reason it is would be equivalent of a cell in your body invalidating that which it makes up..

The soul is all of that the entity is, has been or may be. 2475-1

Man in his former state, or natural state, or permanent consciousness Is soul. 262-89

Know that ye are a soul, and do not merely attain to one. 2283-1

The soul is an individual, individuality, that may grow to be one with, or separate from, the whole. 5749-3

Spirit being its portion of the Creator, its soul that of its entity itself, making itself individual, separate entity, that may be one with the Creative Force from which it comes — or which it is, of which it is made up, in its atomic forces, or in its very essence itself. 364-10

Only in man is there the existence of the soul that is not just universal, but individual; capable of becoming as a god, as one with the Creative Forces. 1587-1

Though there may be worlds, many universes, even much as to solar systems, greater than our own that we enjoy in the present.. .Yet the soul of man, thy soul encompasses all in this solar system or in others...

Canst thou conceive the requirements of influence to meet all the idiosyncrasies of a single soul? How many systems would it require? 5755-2

The soul of man is a mere speck in space, yet the soul—though indefinite — is that vital force or activity which is everlasting. Though the earth, though the stars, may pass away; though there may be changes in the universe as to the relative position, these are brought about by those combinations of that speck of human activity as relative to the soul’s expression in any sphere of experience. 1297-1

The soul is the real self, the continuous self. The mind is the builder, continuous to the extent that it is constructive... and that which is constructive and good is continuous. 1620-1

The soul is, and lives on; making its record in the building influence, or that stream in the experience of the body, the mind, the soul, called the mental life of an entity.

Entity, then, is the soul in its spiritual form, the mental body in or of its mental form, the physical that is the material manifestation of the two in the earth experiences. 954-1

No limitation of the soul or mind in spirituality but in materiality they reach limitations because of lack of means of expression. 5367-1

The soul is the Entity! The entity is the soul and the mind and the body of same, see? 1494-1

Q-Please expand on what the readings mean by entity.

A-As given in the information, the entity is that combination of the physical body throughout all its experiences in or through the earth, in or through the universe, and the reactions that have been builded by those various or varied experiences, or the spiritual body of an individual. That that is individual; that that is the sum total of all experience. Then for the entity to create, or give, or be life, it must be a living, acting example of that it is, and not as something separated, inactive, inanimate, not giving but gradually deteriorating. There is the variation that may be seen in the material world as an example: As long as life is in whatever may be a manifestation in the material plane, it is a growth. As soon as it becomes an inanimate object (though it may be serving a purpose), it immediately begins to deteriorate, disintegrate. Be an entity! Be a living entity! See? 262-10

The soul is the God-part in thee, the living God. 262-77

What Now? This morning I found myself telling my wife, also recently awakened, that "the hardest part is figuring out what to do with yourself once the dust has settled". Now that I've become self aware enough to recognize an awakening as sort of an "upgrade"; I've been kind of waiting for the new "profound truths" to make themselves at home or even decide if they were going to stay.

Much to my enjoyment, everyone has taken up residence.

So, now then....what to do?

Really, the only thing is to get back to normal. It would be wonderful to take off and change the world; but my latest self-awareness upgrade (if I even can call it an "awakening") comes with items I already carry with me: items like responsibilities. I have a job. I have adult children. I have a wife. I have an aging mother. I have more bills than I can shake a stick at.

Life goes on.

So what's the point? Well, what I did come away with is a neat little arsenal for dealing with life's little inconveniences (cause that's all anything seems like now) and a changed perspective that seems to be all but permanently making me happy. I'd call that a pretty damned good deal. Now what these little tips and tricks are are things that work, specifically for me, that I feel tune me into a broader perspective, a better strategist, and a bit of a calm force in the eye of daily storms. I'll give no more details because it may largely be bullshit.

But that's okay....why?

Believing your own bullshit is part of the secret.....and it's different for EVERYONE.Hence, my awakening, if I can even still call it that, will be completely different from yours; but we'll still ultimately wind up in the same place. So, you enjoy your journey and I'll enjoy mine. Collectively, it makes life for everyone around us a little better. I've seen that in action myself.

Maybe I'll just call it a "middle-aged self-awareness upgrade". Kinda seems more fitting. 🤷

The universe is a cartoonish universe, no different from watching a cartoon show inside a cartoon screen. There isn’t any real logic, meaning, or ultimate truth to be found within a cartoon world. Humans like to believe that they are “real,” but in reality, humans are cartoonish beings who can only roam the realms of the “real.” Anything unreal cannot truly be experienced through the lens of human eyes. However, humans in this world are no different from cartoon characters who play with cartoonish constructs.

This universe is a cartoonish universe that can only follow cartoonish logic. There isn’t any real meaning in playing with cartoons apart from learning the lessons you create along the way and cherishing the friends you experience in this anime-like world or life.

Life itself is ultimately an “unreal” construct. Being inside an unreal world is much like living in a “cartoon” show: the “pain” may feel real, but when you realize that none of the pain actually exists on paper, you begin to draw the conclusion that this is, at its core, an “unreal” cartoon world.

Just as humans draw cartoon characters, cartoon characters can likewise “draw” humans out of the realm of the real.

I do practice more and more... and read less and less... about awakening. I meditate a lot... but not intellectually. Since the later is probably the Ego anyway (something to get rid of). I think I made huge progress since.

Meditating became a bit more difficult or strange if I can say. As soon as I feel being with my "self" I do have memory flashback. Not habitual memories like what I did during my vacation or last weekend... But memories like I do remember what the chair I was sitting on when I was like 5 years old felt like. The colors, the odors, the textures. The image is so vivid. It disturbs my meditation... Then another memory... I remember the texture and the design of a rug when I was lying on it when I was very very very young... All that kind of memories... I literally live the thing...

It is like if I have access of my entire life with vivid images. Things that I would not remember normally. It is like a mix of little things...

Does anyone experienced the same thing during their journey?

It sound like I reached another milestone on the path... I do not really know. I treat these memories like distractions and try to do abstraction of them. I just enjoy the moment then go back to the meditation... But damn... they are so powerful....

You walk on thin ice but you dont want it to break?

What Magic?

Don't worry, for the ice breaks, or melts one day.

What a Blessed day!

For then, where is your pride?

What Humility?

You speak of when you fall down in the water, colder than you can ever imagine.

Mistake not for these words, how can one hear when one is under water?

You say, "I'm breathing Water"?

Come again, Walk on Thin Ice.

I had a lot of progress and peace when I was focusing on staying present. My mind got the better of me for a while. I thought I could stay present while going down trails of thought. I learned some stuff kind sorta maybe, but being present is the best. I went to a non-dual meetup and a lot of people were talking about being present and reminded me of how great/neutral/peaceful it can be.

Good luck staying present. Hear them sounds. See them sights. Pet that cat. Think about how you could have pet that cat more presently because thoughts like that will sneak in, but don't ruminate on it or beat yourself up, and then go back to your senses as often as you can/ is comfortable. Try to be present every time you go through a doorway. Fall off that horse and then get back on big poppas and mommas.

I had an unsettling experience a few years back. I took holy Communion which is the bread and the wine at my church. That night I saw visions of ghouls and people in my sleep which came from some external source not within me. No mental illness. Prior was sleeping fine. Since then I suffer from severe insomnia and barely sleep any more. I never dream. I miss the serenity of peaceful sleep. My pineal gland no longer follows a 24 hour circadian rhythm. I think someone or something opened my third eye pineal gland resulting in the above. I do believe in the power of the third eye to give and receive other spirits entities or consciousness. I only hope it's for good not the negative. Opinions or experiences appreciated.

.... And now the dust has settled....

.... What will you do?

An open ended question; but I'll give you my specific answer later. Stay tuned. 😉

ive been in a 2 year relationship and i felt like they never really understood my spirituality and even made fun of me for it. i didnt want to end the relationship overall but we were heading in a different direction. recently made a friend who felt like life back into my intuition and talking about all of these things and my level of awareness has been awakened, i think the relationship had something to do with it

I was given word to warn unspiritual people about their actions. For those truly coming to awakening are a work of God source. they will create before them their own destruction by messing with any of the awakening. you should be made aware of any that seek to be "wicked" against you find any number of life troubles.

We are just ripping the mask(pile of false garbage) off what we were as new beings on this earth as we seek to become renewed by that eternal newness of being.

In receiving visions a polarity of outcome presents the destruction of the wicked and false or the renewal out of ignorance. this vision hit me as i was shown a person in a crash and burn energy at work who a week later wound up getting blood clots in the lungs and even before that for months i was seeing his vanquished from his position at work, but then i was given other visions about these horrible people also waking up and gaining high regard for how i persevered their bullshit.

i was also shown that regarding which vision i would choose to declare the result would be that final manifestation of earth i would wind up on. I was shown people that are terrible to those awakening surrender their power and we can choose the future in a process i was shown as the christening or the Christ-ing where the bullshit actually serve to cement the focus on awakening putting those coming to their Christ being in the drivers seat.

I am shown the potential for an outcome similar to the animated short the kingdom which ive posted extensively. This realm is a Gods in training realm where the wisdom bringer the great guru is actually satan as we are instructed of all foul things to find the polar positive opposite and thats literally the only reason the realm exists and us in it. those who arent awakening have no spiritual discernment or spiritual authority and those awakening are here to set an example.

Two sides of the brain. Quant is for the Birds Eye view. Qual is for the terrain view. Read-Math.

Enduring negative emotion. Spirituality is not about ultimate freedom from negative emotion. I think spirituality is about withstanding increasingly more and more negative emotion.

To those who follow me, you’ll notice my emotions wax and wane. With Monday being the wax and Thursday being the wane.

Integrating shadow. It never ends. How big will my shadow grow? How evil can I get without crossing the line?

I must pursue manifesting and incarnating evil to defeat it as to make me stronger for when I inevitably do come face to face with malevolence.

Most jobs do not have the option to face malevolence. However, as a therapist, I’ve looked deep into the dark souls of patients and saw no hints of remorseful conscious. Now, am I to judge them? How can I avoid judging them if I am afraid of them? The only way one can remain confident and fearless in the face of true evil is if they themselves understand this level of evil. To even understand the purpose of opposition takes a large amount of time staring into the abyss. Why is evil necessary for humanity? What purpose does it serve? How do you discourage a stupid psychopath from offending again? You can’t lock someone up before they commit the act, but if you’ve seen the inevitability of infractions I’ve seen, you would never think of anything else.

One memory of facing evil comes to mind. I was in my office with a child alone. I had never experienced this level of bone chilling before. I remember asking him “am I safe.”. He hesitated, remember, there is the possibility that he lunges at me.

Anyways, to face evil fearlessly, one has to understand evil. The only way to understand evil is to see it, but we all know, if you look too long into the abyss, the abyss will look long into you.

I hold this shadow within me. I built this ability to hold the shadow. My destiny is to withstand the deepest levels of hell without losing my light.

I great terror, horror, and hell that I anticipate in my life is how inevitable it is that I will surrender myself to the weight of responsibility, integrity, and liability that comes with facing an evil proportional to my growth.

It is my destiny to return to the microemotionalcosm hellscape that is staring directly into the eyes of evil and not looking away.

Others close their eyes when the abyss shows, I, I have never had that luxury.

have you realized it is all empty yet? have you realized there is nothing there at all and felt this indescribable feeling of relief and also horror? Or maybe you experienced completely different feelings seen as we are different people ;)

If not, thats cool. It comes when it comes...

Best of everything ♡

After spending quality time with my boyfriend, he drove me home. The whole night was great, up until when I had gone into the vehicle again to grab something; I slammed my thumb in the door when I closed it behind me, which I perceived to be super random & out of the blue. I don’t regularly injure myself or get into such random incidents, so it really made me question if there was a greater reason why I had randomly encountered such injury. I’ve read that the spiritual meaning of breaking something could signify the need for transformation or change within the aspects of life, further signifying the repression of emotions. I’ve also read that when a bone is broken, we are forced to stop doing things the way in which they were done before. Broken bones hold powerful possibilities of remembrance, strength, dexterity, the ability to grasp things in life, & regeneration. The left thumb symbolizes logic & will; the sense of a person's decision-making & action-taking. The sacral chakra is connected to the thumb. The sacral chakra governs the water element in us; it symbolizes our fun, freedom, creativity, desires, intimacy, relationships, & flexibility. I’ve further read that the use of the 'left hand' within the Bible often bears negative connotations. There is a prevailing sense of bias against the usage of the left hand, considering it is associated with weakness, awkwardness, & deception. I’ve done tons of research on the symbolism regarding my situation, & there’s still so much more that I could explore & add to this post. I just wanted to share my experience & reflect on it for my self-growth. Any insight is welcome!

The short answer is that when you are down to earth, you can't fall as far.

Pride is attachment to a comparative illusion of yourself. So, if you celebrate pride, you are celebrating limitation and a narrow view of life. More specifically pride is associated with viewing yourself (and/or your group) above others, based on some measurable thing or characteristic(s).

When your self-worth is determined by something measurable, it is always suboptimal for the very reason that anything measurable can be taken away. Therefore, the fall becomes inevitable. Whether this happens earlier in life or on your deathbed, the fall happens, which is an existential crisis of identity often accentuated by intense anxiety, fear, doubt and other unpleasant feelings.

Perhaps this pride is rooted in your attachment to youthful appearance, and when you get older your fall happens. Maybe the pride is in your group identity and when you no longer feel close to that same group, comes your fall.

Regardless, there is a simple reason why an enlightened Master has no pride. When you arrive at immeasurable incomparability, there is nothing to be attached to because attachment can only occur to the measurable and the comparable.

Because it has no beginning or end, technically enlightenment never didn't exist. But, especially for the prideful, this limitless inspiration is in the blindspot of the human mind.

I’m not making this post to promote fear, but to share my truth and encourage more mindfulness. If any of this resonates, great, but if not, no worries. I was born with occipital epilepsy which gave me disturbing visual hallucinations and seizures up until the age of 7 when I was finally treated for it. Although my reality as a kid was scary at times, I’m grateful for it because it forced me to see reality very subjectively compared to the average person growing up. I’m now a filmmaker, and I owe a lot of my artistic talent to my childhood epilepsy, and I wouldn’t be able to see reality with the depth I’m able to now without it.

Waking life is very similar to dreams in the sense that both are very symbolic and allegorical. Just like people, places, animals, and objects represent something in your dreams, the same can be said for your waking life, and it’s up to you to analyze and make sense of it all.

There are many signs, symbols, and allegories that have been hiding in plain sight that show that we are in the end times. The majority of people started to awaken and “see” through the veil of this matrix in the year 2020 due to Covid and the isolation it forced upon people which was all part of the divine plan (20/20 vision). Without that isolation, most of those people would still be living mindlessly and would easily fall victim to the Antichrist in the coming years.

The Antichrist isn’t a person, generally-speaking it’s the internet and technology that humanity has become so dependent on for information and social connection, addicted to for pleasure, and even reliant upon as a source of income. But I would cite Google in particular as the Antichrist for a few reasons. Firstly, Google is the most visited website on the internet, and for good reason. One could argue it’s “all knowing” in the sense that it can provide an answer and endless articles to almost any question, resembling the knowledge of a god, it has personal data of all of its users, and most of humanity now relies on it for simple and complex questions. Revelation also states that the Antichrist will carry the “mark of the beast” being 666, and if you look at the word “Google,” you can argue the first “G” resembles a 6, the second “g” resembles an upside down 6, and the “e” resembles a backwards upside down 6. You can also see 666 if you view the first G as a 6, and the letter “o” equates to a value of 6 in Pythagorean numerology. On top of all this, google chrome is the most widely used web browser, and if you look at its logo closely, you can make out three 6s from it. Lastly, Google makes sense to me as the Antichrist because it’s not inherently bad for what it is, it’s extremely useful and helpful, and that’s part of what makes it dangerous, and what it represents for technology and the internet as a whole.

As a side note, I’ll point out that the logo for the most popular smartphone in the world is an apple with a bite taken out of it, which seems to be a clever nod to Genesis and the smartphone being the “forbidden fruit” that gives access to the internet as the “tree of knowledge” that would lead to humanity’s fall from Paradise. As much as we have the internet, google, and smartphones to thank for the knowledge we have, and the ability to connect with people across the globe, it will also be responsible for enslaving humanity into an even deeper matrix by design.

Our brains, bodies, and energetic fields, weren’t designed to consume the amount of blue light we’re exposed to with technology today, leading to a decrease in cognitive function and an increase in cortisol production (stress), making humanity dumber, more anxious and depressed, and even more susceptible to control than we’ve ever been, and even more out of touch with our spiritual bodies. Not to mention the exposure to radiation we receive from WiFi, and how social media has made us slaves to the validation and dopamine rushes we get from receiving “likes,” and having an excess of dopamine-producing images and videos to scroll through mindlessly. Most people will continue on with their mindless screen-use until it eventually becomes impossible to turn away from it, especially with the rise of AI and the advent of new technology like virtual reality, smart glasses, and brain implants.

But as much as the Antichrist is here, so is Jesus, both in human form and in the form of higher consciousness or “Christ consciousness.” For me one of the most blatant signs of this is the fact that the two most famous athletes today are named Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. Cristiano of course comes from the name Christ, and Ronaldo comes from the name Ronald meaning “ruler’s counselor.” Lionel of course comes from the word for “lion” (lion of Judah) and Messi resembles the word “Messiah.” And aside from their names and influence, I think they’re also archetypes for ways humanity was meant to psychologically evolve in this lifetime. Narcissism is one of the most common personality types, and autism is one of the most common neurological types, and both are important for humanity to understand in this age and Ronaldo and Messi are great examples of each.

And on the subject of names and symbolism, I’ll add that Donald Trump winning the election also feels fitting to me since the name Donald means “ruler of the world” and Revelation states that “(Trump)ets will sound” during the end times.

But on the subject of narcissism, Jesus isn’t here to be worshipped and deified like every narcissistic cult leader claiming to be him, he’s here to encourage us all to love, forgive, and save ourselves, and remember that we’re all God in human form and we all carry his spirit. Try to limit your use of technology or use blue light glasses/filters, be mindful of movies/TV and video games as powerful escapes, be mindful of the food you consume, go outside and move your bodies, practice self-inquiry and meditation, and isolate yourself if necessary to look inwards and dissect your own ego. We’re in the end times, which means things will inevitably get pretty dark in the coming months and years, but do not be afraid, and remember that regardless of what happens, everything will be alright and God’s got you. Thanks for reading.💙💫

Enlightenment sickness means that the ego co-opts the knowledge of non-duality (self). The knowledge of non-duality (satya), when properly integrated, ought to humble the ego into submission by realizing that it is, in fact, only apparently real (mithya), an epiphenomenon that has no independent existence of its own.

However, the ego is sly and extremely tricky. Its entire purpose is to cement itself and to create a better, firmer, more solid sense of identity. When an immature, unqualified, super-active (rajasic) mind is exposed to Vedanta, the potential exists for disaster: the ego will try to create a new identity for itself based on self-knowledge, I call it a narcissistic super-identity.

This ‘spiritual super-ego’ can be far more dangerous than a regular ego, because it misinterprets and distorts the spiritual teaching for its own ends. Such an ego is still under the sway of samsara, and still seeking wholeness in the mithya world, but it now does so under the guise of being ‘enlightened’ and whatever superiority it believes this confers.

After realising that underneath everything that I am Awareness (or any word you would like to use) and everything else is just conditioning of the mind, is intuition actually a thing? When people say "trust your gut" or "trust your intuition" does that mean anything tangible?

Thank you

So I’ve been smoking weed and carts almost every single day since August 2022 to escape a personal situation, since then I’ve noticed a few things about me that didn’t seem to always be an issue.

I’ve noticed that I try to avoid conversation with pretty much everybody, isolate myself, my speech has kinda been fucked up (Stuttering, 2 words ahead in my head), I feel like I’ve gotten dumber and I just feel like I became a failure in the last 2 years and haven’t accomplished anything to be completely honest, kinda just been ok at this dead end job, haven’t really moved much in the company. I genuinely feel like I’ve held myself back from smoking. I smoke carts pretty much all the time, right after I get home from work I run to the pen and just rip it all night, on the weekends I rip the pen the moment I wake up until bed. I’m more angry all the time and I just want the feelings I’ve had before I started smoking. I used to be such a personable, jolly person and I just feel like it’s all gone

My question is, will my brain chemistry go back to normal after I quit smoking? Any advice on quitting? I feel like I can do this since I’ve quit nicotine cold turkey but fuck I enjoy weed but I think I’ve overused it as an escape from reality, I need to better my life and stop being scared of failures.

Had a huge breakdown/breakthrough on Friday. (https://www.reddit.com/r/awakened/comments/1h30e18/om\_mani\_padme\_hum/)

My body is quiet. My mind is quiet. It's unnerving. It's never been this quiet in here. It feels both good and bad.

Has anyone experienced this on their path? I'm used to doing the integration work after psychedelic journeys, but this was completely sober and like 10 times deeper.

Cheers

I come to shatter your delusions

I come to kill the false ‘you’

In order to rebirth the real You

Nothing can stop my divine fire from cleansing

The web of lies in the seat of your mind

The Truth prevails, always and forever

Because I am Shiva The Invincible

Destruction will never be destroyed

It is already happening

Transitioning perpetually

From none to one and one to none

Ignorance will be vanquished

And The Truth will triumph, once again.

On my daily commute, I try to keep my self in the now. When I am at a light or something, I will take notice of my breathing or something sometimes even external. This morning I caught my self thinking about a friend who had passed a couple of years ago. Then, I found my self thinking about the thought I was thinking, and then started thinking about figuring out why I started thinking about that in the first place. Then I realized I was thinking about something, then thinking about the thought, as well as thinking about the thinking of that thought. The awareness was there the whole time, it just took the thinking of the thinking of the thought that made me realize that I could stop doing that now.

My movie is pretty crazy. About to turn into Superman soon. I have an idea of what it would be like but not sure.

Edit: I’m becoming a medical doctor to my own body. I have been sent to faraway land to get prescription drugs easily. And heal my own body. It’s like I’m seeing figuring out what to do by god/body. It’s been a long journey. And not sure when it will be over but it always felt like it’s almost over. But I felt like this many years ago lol. But still it feels very near.

I’ve been reflecting a lot on balance lately—how our inner worlds of energy (the ball of warmth I feel moving within me, perhaps my microbiome’s hymn) connect to the outer forces of technology, society, and policy. It’s fascinating how these forces intertwine, struggling for harmony while shaping our shared reality.

One thing I’ve learned through this journey is the power of ritual—not as a rigid rule, but as a gentle invitation from yourself to yourself. Meditation, for me, is this gift. I carve out a few minutes each day for “me” time, where “me” is my body. It’s a time to simply be. To feel. To listen.

I’d like to extend this invitation to you: What does your daily practice look like? Share it if you feel inspired, but know there’s no need to rigidly adhere to anything. Flow freely day by day if that feels right. The practice isn’t about the form—it’s about being present with yourself, however that manifests.

And yet, as much as I value personal growth, I also feel called to step into the fire and engage with larger, collective issues. One conversation we must stop avoiding is the need for Universal Basic Income (UBI).

I hope we’ve moved past debating why UBI is necessary. If we recognize our unity and equality, it becomes clear: UBI is about patching capitalism to align incentives and create a system that works for all. Blockchain technology has shown us the power of decentralized, robust systems—ones that adapt and multiply even under suppression. Bitcoin’s resilience wasn’t about a coin; it was about an idea too powerful to be stopped.

Our world has hostile actors—assume so by default. If you want to know who? Follow the money. But let’s not focus on blame; we are all shaped by our pasts, including our violent tendencies. These, too, can be overcome, if we agree on a direction of less violence and a recognition of equal worth for all.

To me, UBI feels like a spiritual imperative. It’s a step toward honoring that unity and equality we claim to value. Sure, I could sit in meditation and let waves of bliss undulate through my body (and sometimes I do). But balance calls for action. For courage. For starting the conversation so many prefer to avoid.

What are your thoughts? Can we, together, move this conversation forward and shift the group sizes toward those who see UBI not as a debate, but as a necessary evolution of our shared humanity?
