Where Is The Love?

The world feels sad. I’ve been away in the mountains away from the world a couple of months ago, journeying deeper into self in solitude and on a vision quest (more on this later). The world has changed, or have I?

The world seems distant and scared of its self, its power, and its possibility. It feels it has retracted some or maybe a lot, the world feels on edge. Like a small child that has done “something wrong” and is now hiding in the corner in shame.

People are friendly still (almost a little too much) – a fakeness, a lack of willingness to lift the veil to what is really unraveling…what is unraveling? Are we even asking this?

There seems to be a trembling in posture and a quivering in speech. Like the mother who is in an abusive marriage and shows to the children “all is okay”, secretly fearing for her life and the life of her children and paralyzed to take action because she is so overwhelmed.

So unsure what to do, on edge – the world’s sympathetic nervous system (fight, flight or freeze) in full effect. Like a deer in the headlights. Stuck, yet wanting to move, yet not knowing how because the fear is piercing each cell of the body. Body immobile, tears, and all deeper emotions suspended in nothing but a distant possibility.

Our human version of this is going to what is familiar. “Business as usual.” Let’s sweep this under the rug, maybe this uncomfortable feeling will disappear if we just adapt and keep busy. Will it?

Like the young boy, who is beaten daily, but keeps going to school PRETENDING all is okay, hiding his wounds. The teacher knowing something isn’t “right,” yet can’t prove it or is also too scared to question REALITY.

What is actually happening? There is a heaviness in the world and I feel profound sadness in my heart. I feel almost a shame being back here like I don’t belong…maybe the lights are still too bright for me, maybe something has shifted, maybe a deeper truth is being revealed and like having been underwater too long rising to the surface with haste to gasp air.

Am I alone in this? What are you feeling? I can’t ignore this and I’m transmuting profoundly.

Black Eyed Peas said it best… Where is the love? ❤️

Rejection – A Different Perspective

Rejection is painful, it stops us in our tracks, paralyses us and pulls us into a vortex of lower self-worth. Rejection keeps us playing small in life, forgetting who we truly are, what we are capable of and what matters.

Humility in Life

There is an opportunity that takes place every so often & rarely in a man’s life is this opportunity presented because we are too stubborn to embrace this gift. That opportunity is to be humbled by the continuity of life.

The only way to embrace this level of humility is to be open to transparent, evolving transformation, change of self, behaviour, beliefs, actions & expressions.

Loss – Wholeness – Love

What is loss? Does loss even exist or is it all semantics – a game of words used to describe what we truly do not understand? Can we explain love, loss, gain, pain, and growth? Perhaps we cannot fully explain these notions…

The Illusion of Awakening: Navigating a Divided World

In our quest for acceptance and belonging, we inadvertently perpetuate judgment and segregation. The world appears “woke,” yet it remains far from truly awakened. We are consumed with how we are perceived, and political correctness has spiraled out of control, while appeasement reigns supreme. But are we truly uniting in healthy ways, or merely succumbing to coercive measures?

The Self-Revering Man

The man who respects, trusts and reveres himself is the man who stands in vertical awe of his own being.
This is not arrogance but rather ‘aware confidence’ and a deepened connection to self that supersedes doubt, fear and confusion.
