WOW, things feel so alive and potent right now, magic is most definitely afoot in my world.
Much is getting stirred, both as a result of the group work and individual work I'm doing with others, AND because I've been touching in to what's going on in mainstream culture, which could not feel more foreign from what's going on in my home (and this quite naturally extends into the work that I do, as it is a reflection of my heart + soul, and where I'm currently at).
My energetic boundaries with mainstream culture are very much on point, and were in place before I even knew what that meant.
There's just something about my system that has protected me from getting 'pulled in' or overly influenced/brainwashed by society.
And so, although I have had to 'touch into’ mainstream culture recently, my tolerance for it is low.
However, I’ve also learned through some hard lessons that I can’t ignore the bigger picture of what’s happening.
2022 was a year of major initiation for me in that regard. Once again, I was 'forced against my will' to see what I needed to see, and this time it was to face the darkness within human love, sex, and relationships.
That was quite a year, and yet I needed to go through what happened. I've spoken about it a few times on the podcast, especially when sharing where the body of work 'the war on love, sex and relationships' came from.
And with humility, I needed to cleanse and clear some energetic imprints left from childhood abuse that year related to the dark agenda. Thank you, God, for showing me.

Let's talk about social media consumption and being overly influenced by popular culture (which happens in a myriad of ways), and the capacity to be a clear channel.
It's just not possible to be teaching from a clear stream if you are consuming garbage.
While I understand that being 100% clear isn't humanly possible, I'm interested in learning from teachers who are "in this world but not of it."
And I have found those teachers, gratefully.
In my own life, I continue to march to the beat of my own drum, and have never been more comfortable doing so.
This is why my work (and energetic signature) are different.

If you've ever felt like an alien or totally 'stumped' by how other people think and act, welcome to my world.
I can have compassion for some of it, and have also learned why through psychology and spirituality, but some of it is so anti-human and so anti-life that it will never fly in my world.
I’ve felt out of place since I came in - and unfortunately for about 35 years, part of me felt 'wrong,’ like I MUST not understand how the world works.
(Thankfully, that was just a part of me, and I had a whisper in my soul that knew otherwise.)
I've since learned that 'a different perspective' is actually desperately needed in these times, and that most people have no idea what they are doing in relationships (or life).
Or at least, they are ignorant to the truth at this time.
This is what I mean when I say that we are in the 'dark ages' when it comes to love, sex, and relationships.
Imagine my confusion before realizing this, and thinking that everyone else had it 'figured out.' Oh, dear, nothing could be further from the truth!
So there is a stark contrast between my home, my internal landscape, my 'work,' and how it feels inside of my bubble of support for people, versus what's unfolding in mainstream culture.
I'm different, and as one of my teachers says, 'that is your greatest blessing.'
This is why my energy feels vastly different when I'm working with clients or spending time with my close ones (or, most importantly, when I'm with myself and deeply at peace, in communion with the bigger thing) versus when I speak to the public or on what is happening amongst most humans in this day and age.
I do not spend my time in popular culture (including, in large part, social media consumption) but I do need to have some level of dipping into it to see what's going on, because it does matter. No one lives in a vacuum and we are all interconnected, although we are not all the same.
To "be in the world but not of it" resonates strongly for me, and whether I’ve known it or not, this emanation is what I look for in terms of who I want to spend time with, including teachers I want to study with.
We are a rare breed.
So, often times, when you see me remark on mainstream culture, I can get very sharp.
Like, "WHAT IN THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE" sharp.
Because there's a vast amount of insanity and delusion out there, and my role doesn't include being a silent bystander (anymore).
Certainly, not everyone is here to play this part, but I do have a responsibility embedded in my purpose in this lifetime to hold the line. And that's just who I am.
I have compassion for the collective dark night, and know we will come up and out, but part of that journey includes transmutation and not allowance.
It includes metabolizing Truth.
I hope you are doing well out there. If you’d like to find the place where I’m currently sharing more often - which I don’t promote very often publicly - please reach out.

Spring is definitely in the air! Seeing the flowers bloom, people with a bounce in their step...
But also I think the Spring of our new era too. This month is going to be eventful, as have these ones leading up to it been. Things are hard now for many of us, but I am just being reminded that the other side is close, very close.
Exciting to be alive!
