Lights & Truth

Where Fear Ends and Trust Begins

November 28th, 2025

Complacency and contentment are not just words — they are actions. And like every action, they begin as thoughts and eventually manifest in our lives. Because of this, we have to examine the thoughts that give birth to these two actions: fear and trust.

In every moment, one of the two becomes the lens we use to make our choices. That choice shapes how we interact with the world around us. But even then, it’s important to remember: you are not your choices, and every moment eventually passes.

When someone becomes complacent, it does not mean they are a lazy person. Laziness is a label, and labels belong to categories — but you do not. Fear is what tries to place you into categories. Fear is the enemy of our wholeness, and we should strive to discern between fear and the other thoughts that move through us each day.

Fear is not a created thing, so for us to recognize it, it must appear in a form familiar to us. Fear wears the mask of comfort, of wisdom, of knowledge. It tries daily to convince us that it has our best intentions in mind — but nothing could be further from the truth.

As we will explore in future topics, the uncreated cannot exist without creation. So fear needs us in order to live. It cannot simply take all of our life force, so it draws it out slowly and subtly, hoping to go unnoticed. Fear places us into what feels like an endless tunnel. It tells us not to move forward because only pain awaits us. It tells us that there is no light ahead.

We turn around and try to retrace our steps, and fear reminds us exactly how we got here. This state of inaction is what we call complacency.

But even in complacency, we are still moving — still choosing. We’re just choosing to do the same thing again and again because fear convinces us there is no other way.

We hold that belief in front of us as truth…

but what if there is a better way?

One of the greatest tricks the enemy uses is to keep us from seeing — or better yet, to keep us from looking at all. And when we finally do look, we often try to force what we see into our familiar categories so we don’t have to change our worldview.

But what would happen if instead of trying to stay afloat in the world you built for yourself… you allowed yourself to sink?

What if you walked deeper into the tunnel instead of retreating from it?

Not recklessly, but because you believe there is something more than what fear is presenting to you?

This theme appears throughout Scripture: to seek God is to desire more. This desire isn’t a flaw — it’s part of the design.

But to seek God, we must untether ourselves from the familiar and give ourselves fully to the unknown. This is what Scripture calls surrender. This is where trust begins. And trust is not a destination — it is the beginning of everything God intends to unfold.

We don’t always need to understand the fine details. We only need to believe one thing: the world is bigger than the individual, and accepting that frees us. When we trust God, we walk without anxiety. Not carelessly, but free from the fear that follows every pursuit of “more.”

We begin to believe in the promise written within us, and over time, we trust that our actions can lead to better outcomes.

Although we use “battle” language in spiritual warfare, there is one thing we want you to remember: the battle is already won if you choose to believe it’s won.

That doesn’t mean we become complete overnight. We remain human, and every moment still requires a choice:

fear or trust.

complacency or contentment.

the isolated self or the wider whole.

Like Adam and Eve, we often see ourselves as flawed and wonder why we should invest in the idea of the individual at all. But we were created good. We chose evil — but our actions are not our identity. They are simply choices made in moments.

We can always repent — turn — and move forward.

Or we can dwell in the house of pain and repeat the original sin of self-reliance and fear.

As we close this series, take a moment to reflect on this:

“Where am I living from fear in my life, and where can I trust more?”
When Comfort Imitates Contentment

November 26th, 2025

Comfort, Fear, and the Narrow Lens of Life

The story of the fall of man is vivid in imagery and full of wisdom about our condition. It wasn’t just the eating of the fruit that caused humanity to fall — it was their reaction afterward.

The moment Adam and Eve heard God’s voice, they hid.

That is what complacency does. It breeds fear, and then it convinces us that fear is safer than possibility. We settle into it like a home. We shut the door. We shut out new ideas, new opportunities, and even the presence of God.

We start placing all our faith in what we already know.

We begin to assume outcomes before taking any steps at all.

We tell ourselves: “What’s the point? I already know how this ends.”

And without realizing it, we slowly drain our own motivation.

We get stuck.

We blame circumstances.

We blame life.

We blame everything except the small fear we’ve made our home.

But because of grace, we’re never left without a way out.

Job: The Honest Side of Contentment

In the book of Job we witness a man who seemingly has it all and is genuinely grateful for what God has given him. Then in the unseen realm, Satan challenges Job’s integrity, insisting that Job’s righteousness exists only because his life is comfortable. And God allows the test.

Job begins strong. He worships. He trusts. He blesses the name of the Lord.

But as the losses continue — his family, his livelihood, his health — the internal fight becomes real.

Job begins questioning God.

He curses the day he was born.

He debates justice.

He demands answers.

He feels abandoned and unheard.

And his friends become reflections of his inner turmoil — repeating versions of his own thoughts back to him.

This is the truth we need to acknowledge:

Even the most righteous man can feel the pull of complacency.

Not laziness — but the desire to withdraw, to protect oneself, to stop expecting anything good from life.

Contentment didn’t prevent Job from reaching that place.

It just gave him something to return to.

When God finally speaks, He does not explain the test.

He reveals His sovereignty.

He shows that everything has a place in a design far bigger than Job’s understanding.

And in that moment, Job’s posture changes.

He returns to humility, gratitude, and trust — not because the pain is gone, but because his perspective is restored.

A Moment Is Just a Moment

A moment is just a blip in the vastness of eternity.

It is neither personal nor impersonal — it simply is.

“Everything has a time and a season.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1–8)

That truth can sound like an excuse for complacency, but when you sit with it, it actually becomes a call to live more fully.

Think back to being a kid and watching the rain ruin your plans.

At first, you sit there frustrated.

But eventually, you start to find new things to do — a toy you forgot about, a game you invent, a chore that somehow becomes fun.

That shift is gratitude.

And gratitude opens the door to contentment.

Contentment doesn’t settle for “this is all there is.”

It accepts the present moment while staying open to the moments God has yet to bring.

It widens your view.

It restores curiosity.

It invites purpose back into your life.

To be content is to trust something far bigger than yourself.

A Thanksgiving Reflection

As we approach Thanksgiving, it’s the perfect moment to ask:

“What in my life am I confusing comfort with contentment?”

This isn’t about regret.

It’s about awakening gratitude.

Let’s be grateful in all things — for the joys, and for the lessons.

For progress, and for pruning.

For victories, and for the strength built in hardship.

Set aside a moment and ask:

“Is there something I’m comfortable with that actually brings me pain, but I keep calling it happiness?” “Am I choosing ease over growth?” “Though this moment hurts now, could it be building something deeper in me?”

Nothing meaningful grows without effort.

These questions aren’t simple, but they are freeing.

If you feel led, share your stories of gratitude and growth with us.

We’d love to hear them.
Contentment Moves, Complacency Waits

November 24th, 2025

The Dreamer and the Fool

There were once two farmers who lived as close neighbors on treacherous land. The soil there was hard and stubborn, and because of this it was common to grow only the most resilient crops—beans, mostly. One of the farmers often had adventurous dreams about creating raised gardens that could grow any kind of crop he wanted. He dismissed these dreams year after year, but they continued returning, becoming heavier on his mind.

One day, during casual conversation, he shared one of these dreams with his neighbor—more for entertainment than anything else. But as he told the story, the neighbor grew excited by the possibilities of what the dreamer had seen. The dreamer laughed it off the moment he finished. After all, they were stuck with the land they had. Nothing could be done about it.

The next day, the dreamer saw his neighbor outside spending hours building the very garden bed he had dreamt about. He shook his head, thinking the neighbor a fool for wasting time instead of tending the crops he already had. But the fool saw things differently. He knew beans didn’t require much care to thrive, so instead of standing idle, he used his extra time to try something new.

Weeks passed as the fool continued his work, ending each day by tending his simple crops. Months passed as the dreamer watched him labor with no clear reward. To the dreamer, all this effort would be fruitless—so why waste so much time?

A year later, the dreamer came out of his home and much to his surprise saw new plants growing—plants he had only ever seen in his dreams. Soon after, the fool began harvesting the fruits of his labor. The dreamer watched him enjoy his new life and longed to share in it. But whenever he asked for some of the new crop, the fool asked for an exchange. The dreamer had nothing but beans.

Resentment began to grow in his heart. He felt the fool owed him something for using his dream. That resentment slowly fermented into hatred, and the hatred into silence. Eventually they stopped speaking. Years passed, then decades. When the dreamer reached old age, he told his descendants about the sins of the fool, using it as a warning: it wasn’t just the land that was treacherous—the world itself would hurt them too. And so the family depended only on themselves from that point forward.

The Difference Between Complacency and Contentment

This week’s topic is contentment versus complacency. These two words feel similar, but in reality they could not be more different. They may use similar language, but they offer completely different outcomes. Through the lens of complacency, it is easy to see ourselves as victims of circumstance. Through contentment, we are able to enjoy life regardless of circumstance. One keeps us stagnant, while the other invites us to keep moving forward. One makes everything look the same; the other opens a sea of possibilities. One offers pain but calls it comfort. The other offers comfort but is often mistaken for pain. Life is a series of choices between the two, and as you will see, those choices dictate exactly how successful we become.

How Complacency Keeps Us Stagnant

Complacency is often confused with contentment, but its implications are drastically different. Like stagnant water, it begins to gather contaminants over time. When we choose complacency, we blame outside circumstances for our current state of being. While we encourage acceptance, we do not advocate stagnation. This is the danger of externalizing what is happening internally. It is easier to blame people and situations than to look inward.

This does not mean you deserve blame more than others, nor does it mean external circumstances don’t exist. But the reality is this: anything that exists outside God’s original plan only continues if we choose to keep it there. Any form of oppression, hardship, or depression can change the moment we choose to act. The problem is that complacency convinces us we are already trying. But complacency is never action. It is inward inaction disguised as outward effort.

Because of grace, we receive dreams of a reality that already belongs to us. But instead of pursuing them, we often give them away to others and then resent their success. If others fail, we use it to justify our inaction. If they succeed, we feel owed something—forgetting that we ourselves never took a single step toward the dream.

Contentment: The Freedom of Surrender

Contentment also involves acceptance, but instead of shutting ourselves off, we surrender control back to God. Like a river, it flows naturally and maintains purity. This surrender is what breaks the cycle of complacency. Contentment allows us to see beyond ourselves. It opens doors instead of closing them. It invites movement without regret and creates momentum toward a better future. Ironically, a content person does not even cling to this future—they understand that dreams often die, but God’s promises never do.

To the content person, only the present moment matters. Not because they are blind to time, but because they trust God with all of it. The outside world will call this foolishness, but this is the path of true peace. When we realize God is always in control, every moment becomes an opportunity, not a roadblock. In every situation, we learn to be content—and contentment itself becomes faith that our needs will always be met — Philippians 4:11.

Choosing Movement Over Stagnation

Many people believe something is “wrong” with the world. This is true. But let us not use this truth as an excuse to do nothing. Instead, let this awareness bring clarity: every moment passes. Everything good or bad has a season, but no season is forever. Only God is eternal — Revelation 21:1. Life is simply a series of choices. We do not control creation, but we are promised that God will provide for us.

This provision may not always look how we expect, but that is why we must remain content in all moments while continuing to move forward. Complacency keeps the door shut. Contentment opens it—one moment at a time. And when that moment comes, you can choose regret…or you can choose to step through.

Which will you choose today?
Fragments of Light

November 21st, 2025

We live in a fractured society, but there is hope in that fracture. Some believe they are workers of light, while others believe they are children of darkness. I want to emphasize again that the battle is not between these two groups. The more we use this broken lens to view the world, the more likely the cracks will deepen. There is a clear divide between the two, but if we choose to meet in the middle ground, we will begin to see miracles. Today, we will go deeper into the concepts of false light and the shadow to explore how we can all reach this middle ground together.

When we strive to be children of the light, we tell ourselves that we will only do good. Sometimes we become so consumed by this idea that we lose sight of the purpose behind our actions. What begins as a force of good eventually becomes a source of self-fulfillment. This is the false light. Far too often we base our actions on feelings, and while that may seem like the proper way to live, Scripture warns us that feelings can betray us, for the heart can be deceiving — Jeremiah 17:9. We choose to do things in the name of love, but truthfully we perform these actions for a fleeting sensation. Now, instead of doing the work because it should be done, we look forward only to the feeling the action provides. True light work is then used as a means to an end. We know the difference between false light and true light because true light never fades — Ecclesiastes 7:1. Interestingly enough, false light is more closely related to darkness, or the shadow, than it is to true light.

Those who believe they are children of darkness internally believe they are incapable of “good.” Everything we do or say seems only to cause pain and destruction — this is the shadow of death. The issue with this view is that we choose to base our actions solely on our idea of what is righteous, and often that idea is shaped by false light. We know the difference because false light is easily consumed by darkness. This is why it sometimes feels as though light work is fruitless. In the darkness, any glimmer of light feels comforting, and when that source is gone, we grow impatient and disdainful. We begin to see darkness in everything we do. For many, this is the lowest point in life.

But I’d like to open a new view to everyone reading: there is hope in the darkness. The depth of your despair actually prevents false light from reaching you. Its density doesn’t allow something so weak and impure to pierce through the veil. This is why, when light finally reaches you in this state, you can be assured it is the true Light— not a feeling, but a knowing. We are all capable of hearing His voice, the voice of all things — John 10:27. But it begins with looking inward.

The key to both shedding false light and dispersing darkness is inward reflection. Like the boy in the story who found the mirror, at some point in our lives we must pick up a piece and take a good look at ourselves to find the source of our frustrations. For those in darkness, this often comes through solitude. For those in false light, the reflection can come from others. We are all mirrors ourselves, and this is why it is important to talk to each other — regardless of where we come from or what we believe.

We live in a fractured society, but what are the fragments? The fragments themselves are not just pieces of us — they are pieces of truth. God reveals absolute truth in many forms, and often that revelation comes through others. This may appear as a glimmer of light to remind the shadow-dweller that darkness is not the only thing in their life. Or it may come as a dark path to remind the light worker that they are only part of the truth, not the Light itself — John 1:8.

The enemy wants us to remain fractured. Imagine if we all considered, even for just a moment, that we could be wrong. Even more so, imagine acknowledging that the other side may contain some truth in their view as well. Imagine if instead of fighting one another, we listened and learned. This does not mean that light workers must conform to the works of darkness, or that darkness should overpower the light. Rather, we should come together, bringing what we know, and allow God to reveal the truth — together.

We assume we must be surrounded by those who agree with us in order to find truth. But I’m here to tell you today that there is nothing on this earth more powerful than a group of individuals with opposing perspectives who come together in the name of good — Matthew 18:20. In doing so, we begin to see the flaws in our hardened hearts. By reflecting inward — whether through ourselves or through others — we allow revelation. And through revelation comes redemption.

We all contain a little piece of light within us. Will you allow that light to shine in you today?
Finding Light in the Fracture

November 19th, 2025

We live in a fractured world, but not in the way you might think. Some believe they live completely in the light because they were born into it. Others have grown comfortable with what the shadow brings and decide to remain in the dark. Often we imagine there is a war between these two extremes, but as you will see, the battle is always internal. The truth is, no matter what walk of life you come from, we were all created in God’s image, and everything that God created is good — Genesis 1:31. Today we hope to explore what “good” truly means, and help our readers deal with the fracture that exists within their lives.

Being born in the light — or what we consider the light — does not make us incapable of darkness. There is only one true Light, and unfortunately it is rare for a human being to be born with it. Instead, we are often born with ignorance of what truly is. And because of this, we sometimes weaponize our “light” against others to build up our identity. Or even worse, we choose not to see those in need — 2 Corinthians 11:13. This is what we like to call being blinded by the false light. But we must remember: false light is not the true Light. True Light is not subject to our preferences. It will either comfort us or confront us. Truth tends to destroy our ego so that we can be renewed. So the question remains: if you think you are living in the light, are you actually living in darkness?

The shadow of death is the darkness most of us live with daily. Many have lived with it so long that we’ve begun to call it good — Isaiah 5:20. Some of us fear the darkness and try to ignore it, yet it continues to grow and eventually manifests into something powerful: the delusion mentioned above. This is the concept of the shadow we wrote about before. It is also why we use the shade of black to represent “truth” in our blog. Because it is not true black, it does not absorb all light. We love this representation because it means that within most of us there still exists a tiny bit of light — the true Light — just like the parable. It is up to us to see it and allow it to grow.

The battle between the false light and the shadow of death is that both fight for a seat on the throne. This shows us that neither of these attributes are truly who we are. Yes, they resemble parts of us, but our true being exists beyond what we can presently think or see. “For I know the plans I have for you… plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” — Jeremiah 29:11. This does not simply mean a future of financial wealth. It means that by discovering God’s plan for us, we discover purpose. We are sometimes meant to dive into the sea of darkness in order to find the truth. It is not wrong to accept wealth into your life — believing this will cause fracture. We are meant to do the will of the One who brought us here and be content in that. When we do so, and when blessings come, we are able to use them to help those in need instead of hoarding them for ourselves.

No matter where you are in the world, and no matter what your past is, remember: there is still light in you. Yes, there are ways to lose that light, but for many of you reading, you have not reached that point — and I thank you for sticking with me through these writings. Pain is a precursor to the fracture. You may have been hurt by someone calling themselves a light worker. But I invite you to sit with that pain, even if only for a few minutes a day, to discover what you are truly feeling. Is this pain directed at your ego, or something deeper? Often our initial response is not the true response. This is why we should not be quick to become angry — Ecclesiastes 7:9.

As we wrap up today’s post, I’d like each of you to reflect on one word: patience. Through patience we discern what is truly happening inside us. We all live in a fractured world, so again I ask you — love one another. And we do this by practicing patience.
The Fracture

November 17th, 2025

There once was a boy traveling down a road toward a city he had longed to reach.
Along his path he noticed a shining object lying just off to the side of the road. Curious, he knelt down and picked it up. Much to his surprise, the object stopped shining the moment it touched his hands. Instead, he was greeted with what appeared to be the image of an eye.

The boy sat for a while, turning the strange object over in his hands, wondering what it meant. Before he realized it, the sun had retreated for the evening. Now the object showed nothing at all. Frustrated by the distraction, the boy tossed it aside and began setting up camp—he couldn’t continue forward without light.

The object quickly became an afterthought.

He rummaged through his belongings, gathering what he needed to build a fire. If he was going to remain there for the night, he at least wanted to be comfortable. As the fire grew, the discarded object—resting only a few feet away—began to shine again. Startled, the boy reached for it once more. And again, the eye appeared.

In that moment, he realized the truth:
he was seeing a reflection of himself.
And in that realization, he found comfort.

Greetings, my fellow readers and light workers. I’ve taken time away due to the passing of a loved one, but I am grateful to be writing again. Today, I want to speak on a concept I call “the fractured.”

We live in a world where our external circumstances often mirror what we hold internally. This does not mean we can control everything around us, but rather that we do control how we respond to it. Life is a tapestry woven from choices—yes and no. Sometimes our perspective becomes fractured, and when that happens, we can find ourselves lost either in darkness or in light.

But we were created as beings of both spirit and nature.
To live fully, we must learn to navigate both.

When we become overly fixated on one side—too spiritual to be grounded or too grounded to be spiritual—we lose sight of the gift we carry. Sometimes we even discard the very thing we need most. Yet because of grace, the truth never fully leaves us. As long as we are willing to choose it, the gift remains. Power is given to us to choose; we do not choose to be powerful.

For this reason, we must always remain aware—of ourselves on the inside, and of the people we have around us. Only then do we start to see what God has in store for us. Only then do we begin to truly live.

Many among us feel fractured.
But instead of seeing those pieces as a mess, I invite you to see each fragment for what it is:
a unique part of the whole.

Each piece is meaningful.
Each piece is necessary.
Without them, you are only partially yourself.

Some are blessed to begin whole and remain whole. Even if that is not your story, it does not make you lesser. Sometimes, seeing life in pieces is exactly what teaches us the truth—that the picture is far bigger than ourselves.

So I ask you:
Will you begin picking up your pieces today?
A Letter

August 18th, 2025

Intro
It has been a little while since I posted consistently, I needed time to process the passing of a dear loved one. To honor them, I wrote a short letter that I decided to share here. Please enjoy.

CLM

I would like to take the time to thank you for everything you were to me. You gave me life in this world, and that was the first and greatest gift I could have received. We shared a bond throughout our lives that broke the barriers of generations. In these last couple of years, it was difficult to watch you drift away, but I remained at peace knowing you were never alone. Though we had our differences, we were never truly different from each other.

It was an honor to be your child, and I am grateful you were able to see me grow into the person I am today. Though your time on Earth has ended, I know you live on through the children and generations you’ve left behind.

You were truly a light that shone in a dark world. Now you return to the Source that gave birth to us all. You return home to the one you loved and longed for all these years. You return to the child who was lost before your time. You return as a beacon to guide others who are lost, helping them find their way.

I remember the lessons you gave me, and I plan to continue your work. I remember the visions vividly, and I know what I must do to truly honor the life you gave me. I will always love you, and I know one day we will be reunited again.

This is my farewell to you. I am not saddened by your ascension—I choose instead to celebrate your life for what it was. It was a journey, and now you watch as I complete mine. Thank you, CLM.
Shine Brighter

For those who were chosen to lead

Blood Before Fruit

To be chosen sounds like a blessing.
And in many ways, it is. But like all sacred things, the role comes with a price.

Those who are chosen to be first are chosen to lead.
To lead is to walk a path that no one has cleared for you.
No one has swept the stones.
No one has warned you where the thorns are.
No one has mapped the terrain.

You will bleed before you ever taste fruit.

That’s why preparation is spiritual. It’s mental. It’s physical.
Because only the Most High knows what lies ahead of you.
And if you trust that, you’ll be ready for whatever comes your way.

Becoming the Servant

Eventually, after the pain, the trials, and the discipline—you harvest fruit.
But the fruit was never the reward. It was the evidence of the journey.

Every fruit contains seed. And every seed must be replanted.
As one of the chosen, your mission isn’t to hoard what you’ve gained.
It’s to share it, to guide, and to help others rise.

The sweetness of the fruit is only yours for a moment.
You were never meant to keep it. You were meant to distribute it.

This is divine order.

Seeing the Purpose

Some are called to carry truth. Others are simply meant to walk in it.
Either way—truth doesn’t need our protection.
It is eternal. It cannot be owned.

When we try to secure the truth, we distort it.
We begin to protect our version of it.
And over time, we drift further from the essence of what it was.

Truth isn’t meant to be captured—it’s meant to be followed.
And the beauty of following the path is that it helps
even our fallen selves remember how to return home.

The Revelation

There are many reasons we stumble, but two stand out:

1. We distort the plan by forcing others into it.

Sometimes we bring people into our journey who aren’t aligned with it.
They haven’t walked what we’ve walked.
They haven’t earned the map.
So we alter the path to keep them with us.
And in doing so, we both become lost.

2. We want to be first, but fear what it takes.

We love the idea of being chosen, but shrink from the cost.
We want the reward without the ritual.

But if we do reach the mountaintop, it’s not a place to stay.
It’s a place to see further—and to send down seeds.

Because the fruit is not the reward.
The journey is.

Call to Action: Shine Brighter

You were chosen. And you were called.
Don’t let fear of the journey dim your light.

If the path is hard, that’s confirmation—not rejection.
If you’re ahead, don’t wait—lead.

Remember, the fruit is never the goal. It’s the proof you’ve been walking.

So today, keep walking. Keep planting.
And shine brighter.
The Dream of the Moment

July 16th, 2025

Waking up for the first time in the morning, there is a certain peace.
Sometimes, if it follows a vivid dream, the world around you doesn’t even feel real. You lie there, just observing—still, quiet, untouched by anything external.

In that space, you are not reacting. You’re simply noticing. You are stillness itself.
But slowly, your mind begins to wonder—what would it feel like to participate in this moment?

You begin to receive impulses. The world becomes real again.
Something within you—many things, even—begin to stir.
You feel the beauty and the flaws of the moment at once.
You are no longer watching it—you are in it.

This new self is born, shaped by the moment. And because the moment feels beautiful—or intense, or fleeting—you try to preserve it. You try to hold on. You try to contain it in a glass case.

But that desire, however innocent, begins to change everything.

You forget that you were once just an observer. You forget that this moment came to pass, not to stay. You forget who you are.

Now you are the moment. And because you are the moment, you begin to want to change it.

But it was never yours to change.

That power belongs to the one who created the moment—not the one who wandered into it.

Frustration sets in. Then fatigue. Then silence. And you drift back into sleep—
a dream within a dream.

Until one day, you awaken again.
And the cycle repeats.

This is what it feels like to live in a world full of noise.
We don’t just observe it—we become it.
And in becoming it, we forget that we were always above it.

We spend so much energy trying to fix, perfect, or hold onto noise. But in truth, that was never our role. We were not meant to mold the moment—only to witness it, learn from it, and let it pass.

Stillness is the practice that returns us to clarity.
Letting go is the practice that returns us to peace.

When we stop caging experiences… when we release the illusion of control…
we begin to remember who we are.

And in that remembering, we find the freedom to move without fear.
To dream without attachment.
To act with clarity instead of confusion.

All moments come to pass. They were never ours to keep.
But they were always ours to witness.

Today, take one moment—any moment—and try not to change it.
Don’t label it good or bad. Don’t fix it.
Just sit with it. Breathe through it.
Let the noise pass, and listen for the signal underneath.

Who are you when you stop trying to become?
The Path

December 28th, 2024

The Journey of Free Will

Rather you believe in God or not, it is evident to most that each being walks a path. We begin life at a certain point, and in the very end, we all will reach a particular destination. In the beginning, we were given the power, in the form of free will, to quite literally do anything we put our minds to. There is not a single external force that exists that can take this truth away from us.

Even in the most extreme conditions, for example, slavery in the US, individuals were able to overcome oppression at such a high form and achieve things they once only dreamt about. A group of people who seemingly had no human rights or freedoms were able to obtain that which was once unobtainable through sheer will alone.
