Hey Friend! Happy Wednesday and welcome to another Wake Up Wednesday!Just as a heads-up, starting today I'll be away from the laptop for roughly two weeks.As another heads-up, today's newsletter could be triggering.

Today Is Anything Can Happen Day โ˜„๏ธ This week I haven't published a new article, instead I want to share a rough little reflection with you. It's rough because it's unfiltered and...

Hey Friend! Happy Wednesday and welcome to another Wake Up Wednesday! The Perfect Human Being - A Short Story ๐ŸŒŸ This is a short story I have recently written that exemplifies how we keep ourselves in a never-ending chase and what the break from that chase can look like.

Hey Friend! Happy Wednesday and welcome to another Wake Up Wednesday! No One Knows Anything About You ๐Ÿ›ธ If you want to read this short essay in a browser, click here: No One Knows Anything About You We have this tendency to conceptualize and contextualize our experiences. We want to know why what is happening is happening. So we go out and seek answers, whether it's about emotions, thoughts, specific aspects of spiritual awakening, or other experiences.I'm aware of this because I have been on...

Hey Friend! Happy Wednesday and welcome to another Wake Up Wednesday! Love Doesn't Hurt, Attachments Do ๐Ÿ’” That love hurts is one of the assumptions no one likes but we all take for granted. But why does love hurt? Why is the one thing that, poetically speaking, has the power to transcend time and space causing so much pain?Because itโ€™s not love we are speaking about, itโ€™s attachment.Some people will probably hate what I write here and let me tell you I was not a fan of this either. It took me...

Hey Friend! Happy Wednesday and welcome to another Wake Up Wednesday! The Cause of Suffering ๐Ÿ˜“ If there is one thing we all have in common is that we suffer in life. Even the ones who no longer suffer have, at some point, suffered. To be one of the no-longer-sufferers we have to get to the cause of suffering followed by a visceral understanding that there is actually no reason to suffer.When we talk about suffering we donโ€™t mean the stubbed-your-toe kind but the psychological-torment kind of...

Are You Crazy? ๐Ÿ˜ต If you want to read this article in a browser, click here: Are You Crazy? Recently, I've been, surprisingly often, asked if I wasn't ever afraid of going crazy (losing my mind), or if I am maybe not already beyond that point. Usually, this question followed a conversation about the nature of...

Hey Friend! Happy Wednesday and welcome to another Wake Up Wednesday! Don't Get Your House In Order, Burn It Down ๐Ÿ”ฅ Most of us treat our lives like a house that needs to be in perfect order. We have all these corners of our house demanding our attention โ€” family, friends, career, health, house, etc. โ€” and we are convinced that all these corners deserve our attention.Not just that, we treat the house as if itโ€™s the master and weโ€™re the servants though we like to believe the opposite. But it...

Hey Friend! Happy Wednesday and welcome to another Wake Up Wednesday! Non Duality: Everything You Need to Know โ˜ฏ๏ธ Non-duality is the most devious thing ever. Itโ€™s supposed to serve the great escape but mostly serves the great entrenchment.Many of us, when we have reached the point of non-duality during our years of spiritual searching, think thatโ€™s it. Weโ€™ve reached the end. Non-duality is the truth weโ€™ve been looking for.But non-duality is not a destination.Itโ€™s not a destination because it...

Hey Friend! Happy Wednesday and welcome to another Wake Up Wednesday! How To Really Face Reality ๐Ÿ˜ When we use the expression "face reality," we usually want to tell someone else to stop bullshitting themselves. But do we really know what this really entails? What is reality? How do you face reality? Can you face reality?Let's see if we can change the meaning of this common expression to fit my own agenda. How to Not Face Reality When we talk about facing reality, we basically mean that this...
