“Recollection is the pathway to revelation.”

Foreword

I had the idea to revisit the articles I published in 2023.  Perhaps for the purpose of completing on the year of compositional expression.  As I was putting this together, I observed unique and noteworthy progressions and trends of illumination. I highlighted excerpts I felt were most expressive of this extraordinary new era.   

To all who made the time to read the articles over the course of this last year, thank you!

I appreciate and am grateful for the comments, dialogue and insights!

All the best for the coming year!        -Iam      

The Experiential Awareness of Being (Published: 2/10/2023)

The Experiential Awareness of Being

“We are as conscious as we are present.”

We instinctually and intellectually adopt and enact perceptual filters to insulate our solitary lifestyles.  Our desire to be right supersedes our need to express our truth.  Through our exposure and interaction with social reality, we eventually devolve into a vortex of egotism.  All who succumb to the selfishness of their desire are the vacuum of a black hole.  Social reality constantly distorts our focus of awareness from establishing an equilibrium between our instincts, thoughts and feelings. 

Our bodies and minds are cluttered with artificial sensation and thought, enslaving us with virtual reactivity to social reality’s engineered exploitation.  The contemporary standard of living is to be born, deceived, enslaved, manipulated, programmed and inevitably die.  No matter how we may elect to perceive these human conditions, they are the result of the social reality we cling to for credence, meaning, reference and relevance.   

Experiencing relativity in our environment and society begins with understanding ourselves.  Self-awareness is transcending our environment, transforming our relations and empowering our being with our intuition and soul.  Once we establish and sustain our awareness of self, we can apply and express consciousness in our social engagement.  The most important practice in all our relations is to listen.  The greatest gift we can give to another is the experience of being heard; appreciated, recognized and validated. 

Shifting our paradigm of perception from surviving to thriving may be the best way to embody existentialism.  Our intuition conveys our soul’s empowerment through our heart center, into our mind, body and environment.  Living life in the simulation of social reality may seem like a gratifying encounter for some.  Experiencing being in the eternity of universality creates awareness for all.

“Being present in the present is experiential awareness.”

A History of Mystery Continued….

“The darkness empowers our light.”

I found myself in a vast domain, standing before a massive wall of energy resembling the illumination and movement of fire.  In my understanding, when we cross this threshold, everything we encounter of this world remains in a vortex of what we perceive as “reality.”  I found myself in a domain of utter darkness.  I was in a deep pit, and I sensed the disturbing presence of entities all around me.  I pulled myself out of this wicked realm, gasping with terror, as the residual dark energy surged through my body. 

A dark spirit held me down on the ground and proceeded to lash me with its fists.  Three entities circled me (the same ones from the pit).  I found my willpower, and for the first time, released a powerful, vocal roar, stunning the entities into fear and annihilating them for good.  What I experience is frightening to my core.  The duality of social reality programs us to believe in the black and white of dark and light.  Yet, there is so much more…

I looked up to see the dark spirit that had been attacking me in my previous encounter, standing over my bed with a wicked grin of malicious intent.  I could feel its darkness pulsing through my being, viciously and violently seizing my energy.  My personal experiences with consciousness have been extraordinary, insightful and powerful, as well as arduous, horrific and perilous.  There is a darkness we all must face, our own.  It is the cost of our consciousness.  I feel to the roots of my soul we all have these experiences.

“When we release the illusion of reality, we experience the truth of being.”

Ghosting the Soul: The Virtuality of Life (Published 3/17/2023)

Ghosting the Soul: The Virtuality of Life

“Many of us know how we exist, few of us understand who we are.”

We assume the role of a qualified, respectable and responsible member of society.  All the while, our soul, intuition and heart were dissected, oppressed and abandoned, sacrificed for namesake, status and wealth.  Our arrogance and ignorance defensively flex in a feigned attempt to appease our pursuits for an artificial sense of security.  With all social reality’s narratives, manipulation, prejudice, propaganda and rhetoric, it is nearly impossible to distinguish one’s unique, personal truth from society’s chaotic symphony of lunacy. 

Whether or not we choose to observe that entities, governments and organizations impose a virtual matrix to enslave humanity is irrelevant.  If we do not see it now, then we simply are not paying attention.  The exploitation of amusement, education, media, politics and religion corners us into delusion, diversion, indifference and uncertainty, as we spiral out of consciousness into the vortex of existence.  Social programming desensitizes us to the influence and impacts of our oblivious proliferation of greed. 

We are an idiom of reactivity, yielding our power to everyone and everything, beneath the veiled, social threat of being held accountable, authentic and benevolent.  It does not matter how educated we are, our ideology, politics, religion or status.  We cannot transcend our enslavement without being free from the simulation.  Every moment is an opportunity to transform our being. Choosing to shift our experience is the key to our freedom. 

“Virtuality is how we exist.  Universality is who we are.”

The Event Horizon (Published 4/29/2023)

The Event Horizon

“Our soul expresses the energetic flow of empowerment.”

Whether or not we are conscious in this exciting new era, we have crossed the threshold of a universal, energetic shift humanity has yet to experience.  Identifying as “woke” in relation to being “awakened” is the distinction between those armed with ego and all expressing their soul.  Social existence is the greatest distraction to human experience.  In society, we do not have genuine belonging, only superficial relativity. 

Every organization in society is a cult, seizing our personal power, as they enslave us with social reality.  We are spectators of its virtuality and consumers of our own enslavement.  All who choose to pursue their destined path are labeled fanatics, ever confronted by the simulated orthodoxy of an engineered society. 

The universe is an energetic field of infinite opportunity and possibility.  It is our soul’s relativity with our intuition and heart which empowers us to express it into our experience.  The energy of universality is a multidimensional force of being, consciousness, creativity, empowerment, expression, fulfillment, illumination, inspiration and transformation. Becoming one with and expressing the universe’s empowerment is our greatest opportunity for all lifetimes.  Flowing with the energetic shift is the event horizon of our universality.

“Discovery is releasing all we know to experience all we are.”

Streaming Universality (Published 5/20/2023)

Streaming Universality

“Being is streaming the universe.”

The universe is in a constant state of transformation.  Its energetic movements on our day of birth source the unique roots of our being.  Eventually, we yield our universality, initiating a schism

with our soul, while condemning ourselves to ordinary existence.  Maturity conditions us to devolve from creation to emulation, shifting our experience from awareness to obedience.  Within the toxicity of social reality, our bodies decay, our minds encode and our hearts contract, resulting in the distortion, decline and destruction of our intuition. 

When we differentiate the external influences from our inner being, transforming our conditioning into consciousness is exponential.  Our choice is to either draw the instinctual gasp of oblivion, or the conscious breath of the universe.  Conscious breath empowers our energetic flow with universality.  Silence is the language of the universe.  Silence is a transcendental experience which empowers our relativity with our soul. 

Our universality streams creation through our intuition, empowers our heart, enlightens our mind and inspires our body to express our unique vision. When we are aligned with universality to create our experience, the equilibrium of our being resonates with the energetic frequency of our soul.  This is our flow with the universe.  It is this omni-dimensional energy which empowers our flow and expression with the infinite stream of the universe.

“Our destiny in the New Era is being universality.”

Being in Flow (Published 8/26/2023)

Being In Flow

“The only truth is the one we create.”

In March 2020, we were given a remarkable opportunity to shift the paradigm of human being, expression and existence.  A manmade virus infected us with widespread fear, driving us deeper into social and political anxiety, division, enslavement, judgement and isolation.  When the chaotic fervor of the pandemic settled, we regressed and acquiesced to the virtuality of social reality.  The webs of a new matrix were woven, enabling the dependency of its subscribers.  We wielded our fear and insecurity like a weapon against the opportunity of a lifetime. 

We all convince ourselves we are kind, loving and peaceful, though our thoughts and actions often exhibit our personal malevolence.  We believe we are a part of community, yet how can we exist as such when we cannot even be with ourselves?  Our oblivion to the projection of our anxieties, fears, hatred, insecurities and judgement is what deceives us away from our soul and into the self-centric snare of our ego.  We are programmed to interpret it as an expression of intelligence.  

Community is a gathering of people empowering and inspiring each other with support and sustenance.  The origin of authentic relatedness is our relativity with our soul.  Our universal being enlightens and enhances our earthly experience.  Transcending the neuroses of the mind and the habituation of the body empowers us to center our being into our heart and experience universality.  Our soul sources consciousness to express the flow of the universe.    

“Empowering our truth is our soul’s expression.”

Under the Sun: Ceremonial Awareness (Published 9/12/2023)

Under the Sun “Ceremonial Awareness”

“For some, it is a way to pray.  For others, it is a way to prey.”

Contemporary prayer has become something often motivated by our external wants rather than empowered by our internal needs.  When we are honest, our prayers are often self-centered.  We spend much of our lives constructing artificial securities, defense mechanisms, financial wealth, professional positions, selective realities and social vanities with little to no regard for those beyond our individual peripheral of existence.  We either intentionally or obliviously bring the vanity and violence of society into ceremony. 

In many communities, there are some who observe others receiving admiration, distinction and leadership.  Their egos are attracted to this, which causes their exodus from prayer.   All who truly need to read these words will likely succumb to their cognitive dissonance, ego, pride and vanity.  They will claim it is not “them,” as they accuse, discredit and vilify the authenticity of others.  We exist in an egocentric society.  Our personal survival, success, health and wealth supersedes that of community.  Many carry this social conditioning into ceremony and prayer.  In this tradition, many of the ceremonies are a community prayer experienced in a circle. 

Spiritual leadership is not a dictatorial endeavor.  It is holding the space for others to make and experience their prayer in ceremony. When our ego influences and impacts our prayer, we experience only a fraction of the ceremony.  Every prayer is an intention to experience the natural progression of the ceremony.  Our commitment to pray must transcend our desire for personal convenience.  This empowers us with the ceremonial awareness to transform our experience and hold a space for others to do the same. 

“Prayer is a way of life.”

The “Unity” of Community (Published 10/7/2023)

The “Unity” of Community

“Communication in unity is the heart of community.”

Society is not a community.  It is an engineered system designed to produce human reactivity, employing multiple control mechanisms to extract our personal power.  Social reality is a complex matrix of spiritual, emotional, mental and physical traumatization.  When we conform to society, we sacrifice our relativity with our soul and the universe, repress our emotionality and fully integrate ourselves into the mind and body. 

We do not express universal awareness to the social impacts of our egocentric lifestyles.  We justify it with a necessity for survival, and “patriotize” it is an essential strategy to provide a better life for our children.  Our encounters with sense-based reality activate our mental endorphins to habituate us with dependency upon simulated, external gratification. 

Community is not about the quantity of people, but rather the quality of its relations.  All who stand to profit financially are the furthest from the spirit of communion.  Community originates from our soul’s relativity with the universe.  The more we experience ourselves, the best we experience others.  Our soul is empowered by the universe.  Its energy resonates with a unique vibrational frequency, transmitting universality through our intuition, into the centers of our being and empowering our heart. 

There is a vital distinction between the ideology and reality of “unity.”  Social interaction is primarily a peripheral encounter.  Community is empowered by the relation between our soul and the universe.  In a circle, there are no leaders.  Simply, unique beings who share their universality to the best of their ability.  The shift is each person embodying their unique energetic flow, collectively. 

“Communion with the universe is the soul of community.”

Universal Relativity (Published 10/28/2023)

Universal Relativity

“Interpretation is perception without observation.”

Beyond our institutional and social conditioning, we have our own personal programming.  Whether it is our defense mechanisms, individuation, societal integration or self-righteousness, our selective conditions inhibit our interpretation and perception.  When we decide not to practice awareness of our thoughts, they wander into obscure oblivion, composing assumption, criticism, judgement and interpretation.  When relationships become personalized and uncomfortable, we tend to talk with everyone but the person with whom we are in dispute.  Not all diversities of interpretation are “conflict.” Most are merely differences in perception. 

One of the greatest crimes against humanity occurs when we give our listening (power) to erroneous narratives about others; approving with our engagement, even though we disagree.  Many go the extra mile, and later feign empathy with the targeted individuals in a plea for clemency and conscience.  We do not observe social reality for what it is, we see it for what we desire.  Our perceptions are distorted; influenced and manipulated by all to whom we acquiesce our personal power.  Living in a three-dimensional paradigm is a paradox of being.  It confines us within the duality of thought and instinct.  In essence, society is the antithesis of universal being. 

Authentic relatedness does not exist in social reality.  Before it exists in society, it must thrive within us all.  This is the human schism between what we perceive and who we choose to be.  In this age of social media and artificiality, we opt for a multitude of virtual communication.  The personal conditioning we enact with our self-righteousness and vanity simulates our artificial contentment and security.  In social reality, our conscious behavior empowers us, and ultimately others, to fulfill our universal purpose.  Being an expression of our soul in every moment empowers us to embody universality; so that others may empower their own.   

“Relativity is the essence of universality.”

A Simple Choice (Published 11/18/2023)

A Simple Choice

“Truth is a foreign language, spoken by few and dismissed by many.”

Ample evidence exists in the alternative, mainstream and social mediums to reflect the cruelty, deception, manipulation, prejudice, supremacy and violence within contemporary society.  Oblivion has become our pastime.  We embody obscurity to desensitize ourselves from our traumatic encounters in society.  Every morning we awaken to the possibility of a new experience.  Yet, we tend to hop on the human treadmill headed for oblivion.  The information we consume is like a virus, infecting our instincts, thoughts, perspectives and emotions.  It is our weapon to defend our fear, insecurity, obsession and vanity. 

We invest only in what supplements our selective agendas, comforts, narratives and realities.  Amidst the numerous horrors and tragedies occurring in society, we engage in the “busy-ness” of our lives, as if nothing is happening.  Reality, as we experience it, is a holographic projection.  Its primary purpose is to discourage, disempower and distract us from the truth.  We engage in a societal simulation.  Everything in our daily encounters is an illusion, engineered to enslave us into a matrix of social psychoses. 

We may stoke the fires of our feelings and thoughts on social media to project our fleeting disdain with a variety of global inequities.  The stand we feign is diminished and distorted by our personal agenda, ego and vanity.  With the influences of our social conditioning and selective perceptions, our unconscious engagement in the paradigm of reality establishes the vicious cycles of our individualized matrix.  We are an expression of universal energy.  Yet, our relativity with our soul is wagered for social conformity.  The watermark of our madness is the exhibition of our entitlement.  The choice is to remain enslaved by our artificiality or create freedom by empowering our universality.  The former ends in finality, while the latter begins in eternity.  

“Choosing not to choose is a choice to live in oblivion.”

The Path of the Soul (Published 12/5/2023)

The Path of the Soul

“We succumb to our fear because we fail to relate with our soul.”

Comments, likes and shares dictate what is heard, read and seen.  Popular culture destroys creativity, consciousness, transcendence and transformation.  Truth is a foreign language we dismiss due to its incompatibility with social reality.  We deny it out of existence with our selective beliefs, information, narratives and perceptions.  The superficial security blanket of social reality imprisons us into virtuality.  Our anxieties, fears and insecurities are embellished and internalized until they become our psychosis. 

We seek God in the direst of times.  For most of us, it takes an accident, deficit, harm, loss, scarcity or death to become present to experiences that transcend the triviality of social reality.   We are instinctually and intellectually tethered in duality to a three-dimensional paradigm.  Creating freedom from societal devices requires us to sever our engagement with the vicious cycles of virtuality.  In the simulation of society, we exist in a waking slumber, stumbling in the darkness of our selective oblivion; ever deluded, devalued, fearful, insecure and traumatized.

Our body and mind are simply applications our soul sources through our intuition and heart to navigate our way through the chaos, madness, narratives and psychoses of social reality.  The less we engage in social reality, the more we experience the universe and become an expression of our soul.  In this new era, we are either an emulation in the simulation or in relativity with universality.  Our universal path does not unfurl before us, it resonates within.  The path of the soul is empowering our human being with universality. 

“Our true path is one we create.”

Under the Sun “Ceremonial Awareness”

Disclaimer: These are my personal observations and perspectives and do not necessarily represent the community to which I belong.

“Prayer is a way of life.”

A Calling

I have participated in ceremonies for 20 years.  For the purpose of this article, knowing which tradition is not essential.  I recall my first experience like it was yesterday; being in a room with a group of people I had not met, the specifics of the ceremony I attended and singing along with songs I had never heard.  The facilitator of the ceremony asked me where I had learned the songs.  I told him I didn’t know them, and he immediately invited me to another ceremony.  In all my traditional experiences, I could have never imagined how these last 20 years would transpire, in all their extraordinary ways.    

A Way to Pray

I have been told ceremony is all about prayer.  This is truer than can be “known.”  In my experience, the intention within the prayer is not expressed for what we may receive, yet in how we may give.  Contemporary prayer has become something often motivated by our external wants rather than empowered by our internal needs.  When we are honest, our prayers are often self-centered.  Perhaps this is why our practice of prayer can be ineffective, given our fixation on ourselves and our desires.  However, when we are empowered from within to pray, it is a universal calling.  An intention expressed for health, healing and support, for all who are in need.

Comfort Zone

We spend much of our lives constructing artificial securities, defense mechanisms, financial wealth, professional positions, selective realities and social vanities with little to no regard for those beyond our individual peripheral of existence.  We tell ourselves we will be, give, listen and understand others more, as soon as we have established our private comfort zones.  All the while, we allow our egos to diminish and eventually destroy our spirituality, distorting our perceptions of the very people in need of prayer.  This malaise we enable, with our personal oblivion, disrupts and severs the flow of empowerment, energy and epiphany we receive from the universe as we pray.

The Nature of Prayer

We have a tendency to habituate our prayer as a selfish endeavor.  The conditioned egocentricity of our social environment influences us to demean, manipulate and harm others in community. This is done in compensation for our veiled inadequacies, insecurities and tribulation.  We either intentionally or obliviously bring the vanity and violence of society into ceremony.  This inhibits and ultimately destroys our prayer.  We may even be so bold as to wield our prayer in condemnation of others.  We all have the potential for creation or destruction.  The nature of our prayer, be it shared with conscious empowerment or deliberate demoralization, manifests the nature of our experience.  

“For some, it is a way to pray.  For others, it is a way to prey.”

Broken Circle

In many communities, there are some who observe others receiving admiration, distinction and leadership.  Their egos are attracted to this, which causes their exodus from prayer.  With entitlement and expectation, they desire this acknowledgement, and strive to control and manipulate others to gain a similar role for themselves.  When this strategy fails, they attempt to sabotage and/or destroy the existing community so they may influence events in a way to present themselves as the savior of the very destruction they caused.  When others observe and address their behavior, they project narcissism to deflect and avoid responsibility for their thoughts, words and actions.  In retaliation, they defend their toxicity by pointing fingers of blame and shame upon those who stand to hold them accountable.          

Ceremonial Mirrors

All who truly need to read these words will likely succumb to their cognitive dissonance, ego, pride and vanity.  They will claim it is not “them,” as they accuse, discredit and vilify the authenticity of others.  They cannot observe let alone understand their toxic patterns, driven by their fears, insecurities, trauma and woundedness.  Their personal rackets are steeped in mirroring the experiences, prayers, practices and visions of others, in a vain attempt to gain power.  They separate themselves from the source and mimic the genuine prayers spoken by those who have earnestly served the community.  They “ghost” prayer with agendas of arrogance, domination, influence and manipulation.  They know who they are.  Most importantly, so do we!   

The Personal Encounter

We exist in an egocentric society.  Our personal survival, success, health and wealth supersedes that of community.  Many carry this social conditioning into ceremony and prayer.  They desire to acquire their individual wants, often at the expense of the community’s experience.  Their ego blinds them to the influence and impacts their personal agendas have upon themselves and others.  While engaged in vain strategies, they will never fulfill an authentic prayer.  They are preoccupied with what is favorable for them, and oblivious to the needs of the community.  Therefore, they cannot observe, understand or transform the behavior inhibiting their experience.    

The Community Experience

In this tradition, many of the ceremonies are a community prayer experienced in a circle.  One person(s) is no more or less important than another.  There is a listening and regard from the community empowering, encouraging and sustaining the prayer.  Personal experiences occur within the circle.  However, the focus is on the health, vitality and wellbeing of all.  In the community experience, acceptance, belonging and healing thrives, manifesting in empathy, kindness, love, purpose, transformation and understanding.  This creates a sacred space of relativity and safety for the community to express the essential vulnerability to empower and support their prayer.    

Spiritual Leadership

It is inevitable that people who participate in spirituality will desire leadership.  This is pure ego.  Some attempt to push their way ahead of others and promote themselves in pursuit of this role.  Some will even compromise or threaten the existence, health and wellbeing of the community to achieve this personal agenda.  Traditionally, one does not pursue leadership for themselves, it is a role one accepts when one is called into it by the community they serve.  Spiritual leadership is not a dictatorial endeavor.  It is holding the space for others to make and experience their prayer in ceremony.  True leaders are those who would not choose it, when given the opportunity.              

Consciousness, Empowerment and Transformation

Our eyes see only an infinitesimal range of the visible light spectrum.  Relative to this, when our ego influences and impacts our prayer, we experience only a fraction of the ceremony.  Shifting our experience requires us to express our prayer with conscious purpose.  Our prayer is a call to the universe; not for what we want, yet all we need.  The force that responds to our call is universal empowerment.  Within the sacred space of our prayer, we can observe and shift our behavior, thus transforming our experience.  Every prayer is an intention to experience the natural progression of the ceremony.           

Ceremonial Awareness            

Prayer creates a space of community, empathy, humility, service and understanding.  It is not a spiritual event to attend, it is a way of life.  Prayer frees us from the egocentricity of society, so we may be present to and fulfill the purpose of the ceremony.  If one makes their prayer and returns as the same person to the same life, it may be best if they had never participated.  Our commitment to pray must transcend our desire for personal convenience.  Our prayer is a covenant we make with the universe.  This empowers us with the ceremonial awareness to transform our experience and hold a space for others to do the same.

The Artificiality of Social Reality

From Vision to Being

/ Iam Saums / 2 Comments

“Many may know, few will understand.”

Traditional Medicinal

For over 20 years, I have participated in ceremonial community.  When I reflect on my experiences, one of the greatest insights I have had is that they are not “mine.”  My interpretation of them is irrelevant.  Even their benefit and the roles that have come to me from my commitments are insignificant.  Another epiphany I had and continue to express to the best of my ability, is being of service to community.  I simply hold a space for others to have their experience, however it may manifest, without attachment, control, expectation and influence.  It takes everything from me to be true to the tradition and express who I am called to be.  When one gives all and becomes nothing, it creates opportunity for everything.

The Human Gene

One of the most heartbreaking experiences I have witnessed on this path is observing when participants fall victim to their ego.  It is a delicate and intricate balance to maintain an equilibrium between the prayer we make, and the society in which we live.  Many falter in their pursuits to gain personal advancement, power, recognition and status at the cost of their experience and those of the people whom they desire to lead.  It is more about manipulation and less about tradition.  Many interpret leadership as the quantity of their followers and the control they impose, rather than their service to community.  It becomes dangerous when they are insensitive or oblivious to the impacts their personal agendas and strategies cause.

“Spiritualized”

Whenever a tradition becomes congregational or institutionalized, it is only a matter of time before it manifests as social dysfunction, harm, oppression and destruction.  Last year, I published “Spiritualized: The Ego of Spirituality.”  It expresses clarity into the influence and impact our egos have on our experience and those of others.  Many forms of religion have established, enacted and profited by controlling and manipulating parishioners into fear, guilt, obligation and uncertainty to uphold their authority over the many.  The propaganda they proselytize is a scheme to prohibit the individual soul-intimation experience.  Personal discernment and distinction are vital in creating and preserving our alignment with the universe.

Invention of Programming

All of us are indoctrinated into institutional structures of selective reality.  Long before we learn to express consciousness and conscience, we are programmed to emulate a common, condensed interpretation of all with which we identify and relate.  This is a social control technique to maintain our enslavement.  Most “intelligent” people are cast into a vicious cycle of existence.  They choose not to acknowledge the truth that they are imprisoned by their ego with their own denial, doubt, fear and self-righteousness.  We have been conditioned by education, mainstream media, religion and society to be right instead of true to our experience.  This is what motivates people who believe themselves to be leaders to control others.

“Knowing is an invention of the mind.  Understanding is an expression of the soul.”

Knowing and Understanding

Knowing tethers us to thought.  Understanding inspires us to be. I would not choose to “know” anything.  In my opinion, knowing is too intellectual.  Just facts and figures ricocheting in my mind.  Knowing is a diversion from observing, understanding and applying what I experience into who I am.  Social reality imposes the duality of thought and action into our lifestyles.  We are energetic beings with multidimensional potentialities.  Our heart and intuition relate us with our soul and the universe.  Knowing is merely a fraction of our experience in the universality of our existence.  Understanding empowers us to align our body and mind with our heart, intuition, soul and the universe. 

Focus of Vision

Epiphanies and insights are occurring in every moment of our present.  When we happen upon them, they occur to us as fleeting glimpses, existing beyond our purview.  We simply do not dedicate the necessary focus to cultivate our experience.  We must express a purpose of awareness and observation to create a sustainable environment in which our consciousness resonates with the frequency of our vision.  My initiation into this experience was terrifying, as it was so diverse from the reality in which I had been indoctrinated.  It annihilated my adolescent belief, perception, thought and understanding.  After I found my balance amidst the fluctuating currents of my experiences, I grew accustomed to the shifts and eventually chose to flow with them.

Observation of Experience

Our experiences are only as conscious as we live them.  We exist in a social reality that imposes oblivion as a control mechanism.  Our focus of vision kindles our observation to hone our awareness and its expression.  Though we are programmed to exercise acuity through a filter of a selfishness, being present to the circumstances and events transpiring around us empowers us to establish how they exist within.  Eventually, we create the opportunity to transform ourselves, our existence and our perception of reality.  Our observation is the expression of our relativity with the present.  The current challenges of the new era are an ideal opportunity to shift and align with the universe and our soul, guided by our intuition, while being conscious of our heart, mind and body.

Expression of Being

In no other tradition have I experienced such an extraordinary symmetry between the personal and community experience.  When balance is established, one can have their individual discoveries within the circle.  Whether or not this happens is empowered by our unique expression of being.  When the shared focus is for the benefit of the people, personal transformation is possible.  It simply requires us to shift our focus from our self alone to the needs of all.  Being willing to release the social conditioning of our selfishness empowers us to be proactively empowered by community consciousness.  When we choose to embody this way of being, our personal and collective visions manifest.     

Full Circle

“One insight I would share with those at the crossroads of their soul; be present to your ego and its influence, or you will never have a spiritual experience.” (“Spiritualized: The Ego of Spirituality.”)  The primary element to our social programming is believing and engaging in linear reality.  Personal transformation is a multidimensional encounter with infinite facets of vision, observation, experience, expression and being.  The optimal way to discover who, how and why we are is our relativity within community.  We sacrifice our greatest potential with our social obsessions for selfish inclinations. Community offers us the opportunity to create ourselves with our commitment to all our relations.

“Unity is the soul of community” – (“Spiritualized: The Ego of Spirituality.”)

“Community is our commitment to unity.”

The Consequence of Consciousness

/ Iam Saums / 4 Comments

“We are an imitation of our original being.”

The Art of Deprogramming

Our choices, experiences, identities and perceptions are hacked well before we become aware.  Some may opt to debunk this observation, defending their virtual enslavement instead of being with its truth.  It is our conditioning that defines the selective reality we adopt, enabling our self-gratification and establishing our artificial freedom.  None of us are immune to these social influences.  Our assimilation into the digital matrix is inevitable. Until we observe our individual captivity, experience our personal universality and transform the dynamics of our being, we will always be victims of duality. 

The Dream Life

We are born, grow up, go to school, church, onto university, find a career, date, get married, buy a house and a car or two, have children, take vacations, mark time, retire, decline into old age and die.  This is the probable future for humanity.  It is our common fate. An obligatory rite of passage to sustain a system of authority, control, influence and societal slavery.  Our unbridled ego becomes our weapon, impelling us to live isolated from our soul and the universe.  We have allowed ourselves to be programmed, proudly bearing the badge of social reality in the bliss of its oblivion.  We measure our lives by the accumulation of materiality instead of the fulfillment of our universality.       

A Perfect Crime

Social reality is a construct of co-dependency, breeding simulations of advancement, conformity, programming, reliance and triviality.  We surrender our personal power to authoritarian organizations for fear of being accountable and honest.  Elitist oppressors exploit our deficiencies against us.  We amuse, distract and preoccupy ourselves with avoidance, cynicism, indifference and resignation, fortifying our personal prison.  This racket is more insidious than any autocratic system in society.  It is our self-induced captivity that sentences us to social reality.  

The “Woke” Epidemic

In this new era of awareness, it is easy to be manipulated by the influential tides of false consciousness. Society is littered with the kaleidoscopic pantheon of contemporary “wokeness.”  Reactive instinct, interpretive intellectualism and volatile emotionality enables and establishes our artificial lifestyle and understanding.  Mass emulation triggers our vicious cycles of emotional, perceptual and sensual fantasy.  Many of us mistake intelligence with awareness when we allow society to highjack our personal truth.  Our unique expression is not found from without.  It is sourced only from within.

“Our soul is the cost for defying our consciousness.”

Cornerstone of Truth

Each of us has a destiny to become an expression of universal energy, originating from the synthesis of our soul with the universe.  The source of our being resonates with our intuition, empowers our heart center and inspires our mind and body.  It transforms our experience, perception and understanding.  Our truth is not established with our belief, education, ideology, knowledge, politics or religion.  It transcends all social mechanisms, manifesting in our way of being.  The universe is unbiased in nature, expressing itself through us when we choose to transcend social reality. 

Water to the Fish    

Our indoctrination into the “reality” of life is absolute.  No matter how aware we perceive ourselves to be with our instinct, intellect and emotion, the social bubbles we build are the barriers of our captivity.  Our oblivion is the invisible gravity we sense, confining us into a three-dimensional construct of existence.  We acquiesce our personal power as a daily practice to avoid the shocking truth.  We would rather be enslaved in a simulation than pioneer the path to our destiny.  Even to the degree we defend the egocentric honor of our intelligence, pride and self-righteousness, dismissing every opportunity to experience freedom of being.

A Solitary Way

When I became present to my personal truth, I realized how lonely it can be.  At first, I envisioned it through a filter of my ego.  Eventually, I shifted my experience with service to community.  This is greater than who I believe myself to be.  I grew accustomed to accepting myself for who I was and who I was not, and extended others the same courtesy.  Releasing my attachment to outcomes empowered me to embrace all I was, am and would become.  There is an extraordinary freedom in being ourselves and honoring others in theirs.  Being related with our soul and the universe is our destined purpose.

An Essential Choice

In this new era of empowered being, the choice most of us avoid every day of our lives is now a necessity.  Consciousness is always available to us.  Choosing anything but awareness is proving to have dire consequences.  Whether it relates to our personal experience, evolution, freedom, health and quality of life.  Social reality distorts and destroys our relationship with our soul and the universe.  Understanding this dynamic is our focus to enrich and empower our relations with others, yet most importantly with ourselves.  Consciousness is universal energy that transforms oblivion into being. 

Consciousness and Consequence

In my early twenties, I was arrogant and ignorant.  I perceived the universe as a vast, empty space of darkness.  This was symbolic of how I lived at the time.  I was a social vortex of ego, satiating myself in every possible way.  Social reality anesthetizes us to the impacts of our personal oblivion. For every unconscious endeavor there is a consequence to our universality. When I observed my experience with an equilibrium of my senses, thoughts, feelings and intuition, I began having insights that related me with my soul.  Our soul is our expression of universal consciousness, transforming the experience of life for all.

“The consequence of consciousness is universal being.”

The Center of All

/ Iam Saums / Leave a comment

“At the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit.

And that center is everywhere.

It is within each of us.”

– Black Elk

Societal Drift:

Where we are trending in society is evident.  We are preoccupied with self-centered beliefs, desires, interpretations, perceptions and realities, as we are in their defense.  Most of us enable our daily deprivation by acquiescing our personal power to a legion of social stimuli.  Our instincts, thoughts and behaviors are indicative of our constant, collective conditioning.  Society is an omnipresent undercurrent, diminishing and distorting our common sense, equilibrium, rationale and humanity.  The disparity between our soul and heart in relation to our mind and body is beyond measure. This rift exists between the threshold of our reality and universality, condemning us to a life sentence of obsolescence and oblivion.

Shades of Grey:

We are captive to the matrix of our mind.  Though we do not acknowledge or observe it, we deny and defend ourselves from this truth.  Our neurological pathways are a maze of information, knowledge and thought, imposing logic on our being as a virus spreads infection.  The smoke and mirrors of mentality obscure our perception and understanding.  Instinct and intellect are vulnerable to deception and distortion in a social reality designed for the mind.  However, the more we invest our personal power in thoughts and actions, the less likely we enlighten our emotional and intuitive awareness and expression to relate with our soul and the universe.           

Spiritual Compass:

True north is charted a few degrees from its given direction.  This variance is symbolic of the personal destiny we may choose on our unique path.  It is our way of becoming who we are meant to be.  Unfortunately, most concede this opportunity, dismissing it as fantasy, pastime or even egotistical.  The choice to experience and express our truth is ever present and universal.  It can be said faith is frivolous.  Like the mind, it has its place at certain moments.  Yet, not as a habitual practice of dependence to sacrifice our personal power upon the altar of theology.  Our experience is more profound than our interpretation or perception.  Extraordinary events will never be understood with ordinary vision.  

University of Reality:

All of us enroll and engage in the authoritarian institutions of society.  They are inevitable.  Social reality encompasses, influences and permeates us in more ways than we can imagine.  As universal beings existing in a three-dimensional paradigm, adopting a two-dimensional experience, we submit ourselves to societal slavery.  We are offered many forms of social oppression to which we eagerly adopt and apply. All under the guise of personal “freedom” and “individuality,” imposing artificial belonging within a devious, hierarchical system to coerce all life.  Once we allow ourselves to be indoctrinated and integrated into enslavement, we feign our freedom in vain, giving the false impression we are awakened.

“Conscious breath is our choice to be in the center of our experience.”

East of Eden:

Where we direct our attention is where we focus our energy.  Being conscious to this universal truth is essential in observing and shifting our experience.  We are conditioned to be spectators in life.  Our dependence on external opinion is the primary form of conceding our personal power.  Deep down, many of us deny, diminish and resist our exceptionality.  We do not acknowledge, apply or understand it.  If our personal power is akin to a flashlight at night, many of us would rather stumble around in the darkness to avoid being accountable for who we are as universal beings.  When we deviate from our original vision, even by an inch, we end up arriving at our destination lightyears from our destiny.

Eye in the Storm:

Society will always be a cacophony of amusement, chaos, distraction, ego, manipulation, politics and violence.  These are the prominent traits of humanity.  Social storms rage around and within us.  We allow our inner experience to be defined and impacted by external circumstances. Who we are is often established by the people and circumstances influencing us through our energetic reactions to them. Chaos within begets chaos without.  It is our calling as multidimensional beings to transform our personal anarchy, enabled by our carnal instincts, thoughts and feelings.  We behold and occupy the center of our experience when we transcend the psychosis of self.      

The Source of the Soul:

There is a center in each of us, yet it is not exclusive to the body, mind or heart.  We are multidimensional beings of energy, expanding and evolving in a sacred dance with the universe.  When we establish equilibrium between our body, mind, heart and intuition, we synergize with our soul.  We become one with all, empowered by our vision, focus, intention, purpose, expression and the manifestations we embody.  Our balance is ever fluctuating, compromised by the constant, violent contest of social reality.  We are authors of our universal potentiality, able to observe, adapt, shift and transform any energy, environment and experience.  Being this empowers our soul with the source.

The Center:

There are infinite centers in the universe, yet only one for which we are destined.  Being in the center of our experience is our true calling.  Yet, our connection and relation with it is always leaving us.  No matter how intent we are in sustaining our equilibrium to empower our universal relativity, we will always be losing it until we depart this earth.  Realizing the fulfillment of our experience amidst the chaos of social reality is our essential purpose.  When we are focused, grounded, centered, balanced and aligned with the universe, we become its expression.  Being in the center of our experience empowers us to transform social greed into universal need. 

“Our center is the compass of our soul.”

An Essential Choice

/ Iam Saums / Leave a comment

“We either bury our heads in the sand or choose to make our stand.”

As It Seems:

Society is an abomination.  What have we become?  Why have we allowed it to get to this level of delusion, depravity, destruction and death?  Why do we enable and embolden the industries of economics, medicine, politics and religion?  How can we wield our desire, entitlement, ego, intelligence and self-righteousness as weapons of social destruction to protect our fears, failures and insecurities?  Will we find the courage, intention, strength and willingness to defy our arrogance?  Will we choose to claim and express our unique power to transform the nightmare we have enabled with our lives?  Are these impossible questions to be debunked with our cognitive dissonance or opportunities to shift our experience?   

As It Is:

The impacts of events over the last 18 months have been devastating beyond our wildest fears.  Conflict, corruption, cruelty, disease, inequality, injustice, poverty, prejudice and war have become our nature.  We cannot observe how society is, turn and point the finger at our opponents, then claim victory on Social Media to make ourselves feel better about our own apathy, denial, indifference and judgement.  Our arrogance, entitlement and obscurity are obvious when we see how we helped cause and spread this madness.  Yet, we plod on with our egos, ire and opinions in tow, minute men and women for the timeless debate of wit, wile and wanton.  Are we willing to be accountable and shift our focus from oblivion to awareness?

Social Watermark:

Totalitarian organizations are enforcing modifications to the dynamics of our being, preventing us from being in flow with our heart, soul and the universe.  Over the last few decades, our social environment has become inundated with toxicity.  The effects of which are rarely acknowledged, yet often exhibited as disease, egotism, negativity and violence.  All of this, combined with the current conditions of disorder, inequity and prejudice, have rendered social reality uninhabitable.  Our bodies, minds and hearts are being distorted, manipulated and terrorized by the calculated, callous nuances of simulated society.  The sacred cord that connects us with the universe is being severed.  Social reality is segregating us from our soul.    

The Body:

The greatest side effect of the current pandemic is not physical illness or the fear of contraction.  It is not even the mainstream media assault we have all had to endure.  The deepest impact is on our adrenal glands and nervous systems.  Our social environment disrupts our natural balance.  The stresses of common perception and impending doom have frayed and fatigued our instinctual sensibilities, leaving us tattered and torn beneath the gravity of social reality.  We have all been broken, burdened by a constant barrage of consumable anxiety and disease, spinning us out, turning us around, inside out and upside down.  Our constant, collective focus on it has completed the vicious cycle.

“We have given away our power for the fantasy of Social Reality.”

The Mind:

As much as recent events impact us physically, the psychological effects are as or more devastating.  Mass fear and hysteria are being imposed upon the world’s population with a biased broadcast of information and a relentless campaign, laden with evident agendas.  This is the principal cause of adrenal fatigue and stress exhaustion now rampant in society.  Yet, it has also distorted, dominated and manipulated our thoughts, scrambling our neural pathways and transmitting destructive signals through our minds and bodies contributing to our imbalance.  This has compromised our already fragile immune systems, rendering us susceptible to delusion, disease, degeneration and death.

The Heart:

This last year has been an emotional tug-of-war.  Whether it is the official narrative on which the pandemic is widely reported in contrast to alternative and holistic viewpoints, the intensity of the US Presidential election, classism, inequality, injustice, racism and unrest, the will of the people is broken.  The necessity to defend our unique perception exacerbates our social climate.  Common acceptance, sense and understanding are eagerly abandoned.  Our hearts are overwhelmed both physically and emotionally under the sharp intolerance, judgement and scrutiny from family members, friends and colleagues wielding burden of proof as universal credence.  Our heart centers are being attacked, depleted and traumatized.  When they become unbalanced, we can no longer relate with our soul.   

The Intuition:

Our intuition is the interpreter of our being.  It empowers communication between our body, mind, heart and spirit.  When our body is healthy, our mind is clear and our heart is focused, the centers of our being resonate with our soul.  We all have seven major chakras.  When aligned, they are conduits for energy to flow from the universe and our soul, through our centers and into our heart, mind and body.  Our intuition is an eternal and infinite presence.  It empowers us to establish and maintain equanimity between the elements of our being.  When we achieve this balance, we are sourced by the universe through our soul.  Our intuition sends this multidimensional energy to enliven our heart, mind and body.      

The Soul:

Most people will not intimate with their soul until they pass from this earth, let alone embody it.  Everyone has a destiny with this experience.  Few choose to clarify, realize and sustain this extraordinary expression of being.  Society is a soulless entity, devoid of empathy, kindness, integrity, truth and understanding.  It is a viral syndrome, enslaving our collective soul.  We are immigrants to our essence and the universe.  This stark reality is most present in who we are being, how we live and how we treat each other.  Our arrogance, desire, ego and self-righteousness have sacrificed our soul for instant gratification.  The reckoning for humanity has come.

The Present We Live:

How we live our experience is our choice.  Society implies that there are choices, though few exist within its construct.  There are only menial decisions provided by an authoritarian-imposed affront weaponizing duality with left or right, dark or light, good or evil, day or night and wrong or right.  Being is our ability to break the spell of social conditioning to which we all fall victim.  Social reality is the wool pulled over our eyes when we are not paying attention.  This is our dilemma.  Our brushes with authentic epiphany and insight are rare and fleeting, to the degree we no longer acknowledge them as opportunity.  The past is dead.  The future is created by how present we live.  Universality is the only way we transform reality.

The Choice We Create:

There is a positive energetic shift occurring in the universe sourcing us with creativity, imagination, opportunity and transformation.  There is also a negative energetic movement in society influencing us toward captivity, destruction, fear, illness and death.  Our current era is defined by choice.  We become what we choose.  Where we aim our focus of attention is where we place our energy.  Aligning with the universal shift empowers us to transcend duality and be one with all.  When we opt for societal indoctrination and modification, we concede our personal power as victims of social reality.  The power of this choice cannot be weighed with instinct and intellect alone.  Emotion and intuition empower our choice to become an expression of the universe.            

“Choose wisely! While the universe will bring you life, social reality will take it from you.”

The Awakening

/ Iam Saums / 5 Comments

“Awareness is only the beginning…”

The Woke and The Awakened:

The current fad of social consciousness is being “woke.”  Though its meaning may remain an enigma to many, I imagine “woke” represents those who happen upon insightful information peaking their attention and contemplation.  Whereas “awakened” is the state of being conscious.  These are two remarkably diverse experiences with one vital distinction.  It is good to discover and ponder awareness, yet best to embrace and become awakened.  Consciousness is a personal encounter with intuitive, spiritual and universal potentialities.  One often convoluted, devalued and misunderstood by reactive instinct and intellect.  If waking up is the seed, living consciously are its roots.

Breaking the Spell:

We are all victims of circumstance regarding the commitment and watermark of our awareness.  The culture in which we enable and engage is designed to enslave us into personal obscurity with our own fear, doubt and diversion.  We have moments of insight and even enlightenment, yet the power of these experiences is diminished and destroyed by our focus and dependence on social relativity.  Eventually, most of us sentence ourselves to realities in a virtual vacuum.  We have been conditioned to believe creating our unique purpose is futile, illogical, optional and terrifying.  Being who we are is the most challenging, elusive and significant achievement in life.  Each of us is destined to pioneer our path with the expression of our creativity. 

In-the-Flow:

A once-in-a-millennia energetic movement is now occurring.  It is an extraordinary opportunity for humanity to become conscious, committed, present and related with each other, nature and the universe.  Our universality thrives when we balance our instinct, intellect and emotion with our intuition.  This expression of being attunes us to our unique purpose, connecting us with our soul.  In kind, our spirit relates and resonates with the universe.  This alchemy of our being sources, sustains and unites us with transcendental experiences.  Imagine society when humanity is empowered by conscious expressions of being! The possibilities we collectively choose to create are as eternal and infinite as our soul.

Creation’s Creation:

All of us are creative, regardless of belief, position, race, social status or wealth.  Our multidimensionality aligns us with the world and the universe.  When we balance, express and exercise our sense, thought, feeling and insight, the energy of creativity flows for us to empower, enlighten and manifest our personal medium.  It is our birth rite to inscribe our signature upon the world, as well as experience the benefits of the energy the source provides us through our expression.  As we transform reality by sharing our unique creativity, we are also shifting the dynamics of the universe.  Now more than ever, it is essential we discover and express our voice.

“Creativity is awareness in action.”

The Art of Awakening:

The ultimate expression of creativity is transforming ourselves.  It is a universal declaration to acknowledge, embrace and embody the creative force empowering us to shift the dynamics of our being.  We can empower this opportunity at any moment in any experience.  Though we are prone to vicious cycles of behavior, thought and emotion often depriving our fulfillment, it is simply our choice and intention to observe the nature of our experience and manifest our vision into any environment at any moment.  There is an accelerated progression of energy holding a space for us to shift in ways seldom seen or enacted by humanity.  Our willingness to release all that inhibits our purpose, sources our power to create our destiny.  

Discovery in Observation:

Often taking a breath and witnessing the nature of our experience within social reality inspires our transcendence.  Not with ego, isolation or superiority, yet as an expression of distinction from mundane existence.  Observation is the cornerstone of discovery.  It clarifies and opens our perception, understanding and experience, aligning us with our heart, intuition, soul and the universe.  Our multidimensionality grants us the opportunity to live life not as it seems, rather as it is and can be created.  This is the gateway of awakening.  Each of us has a unique expression of universality.  When we accept and embrace it, our path is guided and empowered by all we discover.

Kindling Consciousness:

In social reality, our awareness is always leaving us.  Engineered society amuses, bewilders, entertains and suppresses. Knowing this is “woke.” Living free from this is being “awakened.”  There are many practices to cultivate our consciousness.  One of the best is meditation.  When we close our eyes, calm our body, mind and heart and focus on our breath, we instantly transform our experience and environment.  It is an exodus from the social indoctrination constantly imposing simulated existence upon us.  It is the pathway to being present in the present.  When we meditate, we are empowered by creativity, energy, insight and transformation.  We are only as conscious as we are present to being.  

Awakened Being:

The energetic shift is now! It is happening within us.  How consciously we live defines how we create our experience.  We are all expressions of the universe.  Awareness of this truth and its manifestation in our lives transcends the global illusions of duality, envy, fear, hate, prejudice and oblivion.  We are all related.  When we embrace and become this, the roots between us grow deep into our souls.  This is the embodiment of universal being.  First, we create this in ourselves.  Then, we empower ourselves to be guided by the universe in our every instinct, thought and feeling.  Next, we inspire others by who we are being.  Eventually, we work together to transform society.  Finally, we let nature be our course. 

“Now is always the era of our awakening.”

A Cure for Wellbeing

/ Iam Saums / 4 Comments

“Illness is the opportunity to heal.”

Tattered and Torn:

The parade of events over the last year have rendered us wounded upon society’s battlefield.  For all of us, it is merely the measure to which we have allowed its impression to influence us.  Our adrenals, instincts and nerves have been frayed under the gravity of all that has happened.  Though we justifiably can claim victim to most of what has, is and may occur, it exists only in the way we choose to perceive.  Understanding no generation of humanity has ever experienced such a degree of anarchy, delusion, mania and upheaval is just the tip of the iceberg.  Our willingness to heal is most vital during these times to see who we have all become amid these great adversities and challenges.

For Better or Worse:

Our commitment to ourselves and each other has been well-defined.  Unless of course it is not observed and honored.  As human beings, we are all related.  Not just by blood, also by instinct, intellect, emotion and soul.  These qualities run much deeper than lineage and are infinite and eternal.  However, we are desensitized to the vulnerabilities of our nature, thought, feeling and intuition to appease our fears, insecurities and self-righteousness.  Our virtues become our weaknesses and our iniquities are weaponized as our strengths.  More often than we acknowledge, our ego disrupts our relationships with ourselves and each other.  Our personal oblivion is the destroyer of possibility.

Social Venom:

Human society and social reality are a virus.  There is no easy or polite way around this stark truth we have enabled with our arrogant agendas, insatiable desires, unconscious fears and selfish intentions.  Disease has become our common nature.  Its toxicity is within and around us.  It festers in the air we breathe, the food and water we consume, the thoughts we entertain and the feelings we harbor.  We are both the virus and the cure, though our focus is often on the former.  Therefore, we enable our ego to highjack all facets of our being, projecting darkness into our lives and society.  We have been deceived into believing this is our true power.  When we seek to know why there is so much disease, the answer is glaring back at us in the mirror.

For What it’s Worth:

Most of us are more focused on our finances than our health.  This is the primary reason why this virus has had such a widespread impact.  Where we place value illustrates what we embody.  Our way of life is apparent when we are eagerly willing to wager its quality for fleeting prominence and wealth.  It is the dangling carrot leading us away from universal being.  Our health is at the heart and soul of our existence.  Our experience of it is the essential distinction between surviving and thriving.  Social negligence toward well-being is an epidemic few choose to acknowledge let alone transform.  Empowering and nurturing our health creates the opportunity to observe the nature of our dis-ease to discover and manifest its cure.

“Healing is an everyday need that must be as aggressive as our greed.”

The First Medicine:

The moment we are born, our breath is our first declaration.  It is the cornerstone of our survival and environment.  We are mostly oblivious to our breath.  Our focus is always drifting from its conscious expression.  When we breathe, we inhale the essence of existence and exhale all the impurities our lungs filter.  How present we are to our breath is as present we are to our life.  This may seem rudimentary, yet in the moment-to-moment experience, it is the most challenging practice to achieve.  Conscious breathing is instant transformation.  It is available to us anytime we choose.  The deeper our breath the greater our relationship with our heart, soul, the universe and each other.

The Second Medicine:

More than 90% of our body and 70% of the earth is water.  60% of the water in our body is contained in our cells.  It is the most powerful and destructive natural force sustaining all life on the planet.  Water is the manifestation of spirit, essential to our existence.  Every time we drink, it cleanses the toxins from our body. There is no element as entirely purifying. It is a transmitter and receiver, adapting to any foreign elements introduced and responsive to the nature of their toxic intention.  Drinking two to three liters of water everyday provides a physiological regeneration of our cells, organs, muscles and blood.  It is transformation in action, conducting electromagnetic energy to empower our being.     

The Third Medicine:

Soulfire is a term commonly associated with the metaphysical.  A force of energy transposed by our spirit to resonate through the seven centers of our being.  When these are in alignment, infinite and eternal energy flows through us.  A multidimensional torus of life force empowers and sustains our existence.  However, our soul is not its origin.  The universe is a vast, teaming stellar ocean of energy ever present and ever expressive.  Its destined nature is to source life.  All we are, become and need is provided to us at any moment of our experience.  When we focus and nurture our intent on synergizing energetically with the universe, any condition or illness can be transformed into health.

The Fourth Medicine:

The earth is laden with an abundance of elemental, herbal remedies to promote heath and heal all human ailments.  Trees offer a stable supply of oxygen.  Plants and roots treat diseases, infections and viruses.  The earth produces a powerful geomagnetic energy radiating from its interior.  Its terrestrial life force interacts with the electromagnetic energy emanating from our heart center.  Our soul conducts universal energy through our intuition into the seven centers of our being.  When we align and attune our chakras to the universe and the earth’s field, its energy sources us with creativity, insight, healing and vitality.  Our most essential life practice is grounding ourselves with the earth to receive the greatest benefit of this energy. 

Being of Balance:

Our equilibrium is the balance and synergy of our multidimensionality.  This symmetry is as important as our relationship with the universe, ourselves and the earth.  It is our opportunity to observe, empower, enrich and establish our ever-shifting balance at any moment in any experience.  We are beings of nature, akin to its environmental design.  Our innate expression is to fulfill an optimal existence.  Society is contrarian, conditioned to be self-centric.  The earth is an expression of altruism, existing in sacred alchemy for this sole purpose.  We all have a natural ability to identify our dis-eases, modify our lifestyle and transform our being.  Balancing our being is the universal expression of our cure.

“We are.”

The Edge:

Now that we have been roused from the slumber of social reality in wake of rampant animosity, disease, injustice, politics and uprising, our opportunity to turn the antiquated page of human history has come.  Over the last year, all of us have been driven to the brink with the threat of social annihilation.  Our adrenals, attention, nerves and patience pushed over the edge.  Believe it or not, there are many overlooked positives that currently exist in contemporary society during this challenging yet powerful age.  Though we all have had our encounters with anger, hopelessness, fear, loss, sadness and restriction, an energetic transitional shift is occurring the likes we have never experienced.  Regardless of how society may seem, we are in a new era.

Lethal Liaisons:

Fear is the most powerful force in society.  This unfortunate truth is certainly evident now.  Perhaps the greatest reason why it effectively passes its impression of dis-ease is our collective oblivion to its influence.  Yet, the pure power of it is not that to which we are present.  It is the fear to which we are unconscious and/or deny.  We give our personal power over to fear more than any other social entity.  The more we avoid this powerful element of human nature, the more we ultimately enable it and are enslaved.  It is the primary reason most never manifest their human destiny.  Generation after generation succumb to its prowess thus perpetuating an unfulfilled existence. 

Sleight of Perception:

There will always be those who deceive, exploit and manipulate the natural evolution and progression of human destiny.  Fear-laden, insecure individuals deluded with the notion that real power is obtained through aggression, control, division, profit and warfare.  Yet, the effectiveness, impact and success of these archaic paradigms are fading and failing amidst the transcendence of social consciousness, empathy, insight and unity.  Their plan to take advantage of the vulnerable while society slips beneath the surface of its own cognizance, compassion, reason and welfare has backfired.  The dynamics of life have changed.  We either sink to the bottom of existence or flow with the ever-expanding tides of transition.     

Organized Diversion:

Since before the last Winter Solstice, we are in a quickening of energetic evolution.  The gateway to the universe is wide open granting us the opportunity to relate with and personify our soul.  It is a powerful time when we experience both extraordinary inspiration and insight as well as extreme anxiety and fear.  Social reality is designed to prevent and even prohibit this shift in human awareness.  Authoritarian institutions have always and are intentionally attempting to highjack and obstruct our destined transformation.  Whether their strategy is mass weapons of education, politics, religion or media, their agendas of control and power are ever-present.  Yet, social awareness is now empowering a transparency unrivaled in human history.

“Being is believing.”

Transition of Power:

Most are quite comfortable and willing to relinquish their personal power to teachers, preachers, elected officials, broadcast personalities and a great number of other autocratic social entities.  We have been conditioned to yield our power to others in the guise of agreement, belonging, conformity, patriotism, security and self-righteousness.  We have enabled the very social enslavement we so despise when we are fortunate enough to acknowledge this harsh self-reality.  Doubt is as influential in our lives as fear.  Now we are being challenged with the undeniable truth of ourselves, given our current social experience and environment.  These evolutionary labor pains grant us a unique opportunity to claim our power and transform our reality.

Dynamics of Being:

Instinct is an aspect of our body, thought is a facet of our mind and feelings are an expression of our heart.  Yet, these senses are not in and of themselves an articulation of being.  We are multidimensional entities empowered by the totality of our potentiality.  Being is our destined opportunity to express our full possibility.  Our true nature is the ability to benefit from all elements of our being.  When we establish and sustain balance within our being, we become an expression of our soul and the universe.  This inspires us to collectively thrive.  Our individual fulfillment is fruitless when obtained for the self alone.  True enlightenment is a collective experience when achieved by all.

Source of Energy:

Energy flows where attention goes. The universe sources us with infinite energy from which everything begins and ends.  Our energy is our power.  How we express it defines our existence, perception and reality.  Who we are being determines its nature and purpose.  Its quality is often diminished by our selfish and toxic personal and social climates.  Our focus and intent of it is the only way we can transform our selves and environment.  The legacy of our energy resonates beyond our lives. Who we are being energetically manifests the universe into social reality.  We are this powerful!  Who we are being is a declaration of empowerment and the embodiment of our soul.

Universal Destiny:

Most may perceive contemporary times as increasingly grim.  This last year has been an extraordinary opportunity to acknowledge and release our failures with social conflict, disease, duality, evasion, judgement, hostility, malevolence, prejudice and segregation.  When observing with our instinct and intellect, these challenges may appear necessary and justified.  Yet, broadening our vision to include our heart and intuition transforms our experience and aligns us with the universe.  Living our full potential of being empowers us to transcend the tragic linear and peripheral social reality to embrace and become an expression of our soul.  Our personal transformation creates, sustains and fulfills our universal destiny.
