We have numbed ourselves in the name of comfort, disconnected from our bodies, our communities, and the very earth that sustains us. But an awakening is upon us-a call to step out of the prisons we’ve built, to reconnect, to remember who we are. The time to align with nature, with ourselves, and with each other is now.

We’ve been conditioned to believe that understanding is the goal—that knowledge grants power and certainty. But the deeper we look, the more we realize how little we truly know. Awareness is infinite, yet our minds are finite, making true comprehension impossible. Maybe we aren’t here to understand but to experience—to live without judgment, without rigid beliefs, without the illusion of certainty. When we let go of the need to know, we open ourselves to the raw, unfiltered beauty of existence.

I’ve spent my life reading others, understanding their pain, yet avoiding my own. I built walls, played roles, and masked my wounds with laughter, shape-shifting to feel safe—until the weight of it all became too much. Firefighting deepened my duality, forcing me to balance camaraderie with unbearable trauma, using dark humor as armor. COVID shattered my illusions, fueling anger and isolation as I fought for what I believed was right, only to find myself more lost than ever. Now, I’m facing the pain I buried, taking responsibility for the hurt I’ve caused, and learning to surrender—to trust that love, not armor, is what will truly keep me safe.

I spent years shape-shifting for others, mistaking their happiness for my own-until I finally reclaimed myself. Some relationships are just seasons, but love, once truly shared, is eternal.

"We have been severed from our instincts, conditioned to distrust our own intuition, and taught to seek authority for answers that only we can truly know. But the illusion is crumbling. The awakening is here."

Fear arises from the illusion of separation-the belief that we are isolated and vulnerable. But when we recognize our oneness with all things, fear dissolves, and only love remains. Love is the natural response to unity, our natural state, for when we see ourselves in everything, there is nothing left to fear-only to embrace.

LOVE IS NOT SOMETHING TO SEEK BUT SOMETHING TO EMBODY. WHEN WE CHOOSE TO LOVE RATHER THAN CHASE BEING LOVED, WE STEP INTO OUR NATURAL STATE OF BLISS. LIKE A DROP IN THE OCEAN, WE ARE NOT SEPARATE FROM THE WHOLE-LOVING ALL THINGS IS SIMPLY LOVING OURSELVES.

In a moment of deep meditation, I realized something profound about the nature of God and connection. God isn’t separate from me; God is the energy and connection that binds everything together. For much of my life, I viewed myself as an individual, separate from the vast ocean of existence, but over time, I came to understand that I am not a drop in the ocean—I am the ocean. This sense of oneness extends beyond people, connecting me to nature and all living things. Life is not about labeling experiences as good or bad but about embracing each moment as an opportunity to grow and experience the infinite. By surrendering to the present and allowing myself to be vulnerable, I feel the deep connection that unites all things and understand that I am part of something much larger than myself—an eternal being experiencing a temporary existence.
