Inspired by all who walked along side me on this path...
We cannot lose something that was never in our possession in the first place. We never owned this YTT experience that we’ve all shared. My classmates, my teachers, my students. Why would we want to attach and place constraints on such beauty anyway? We are all borrowers of time, flowing in and out of moments; experiencing then giving back. These moments are not tangible things to place into our pockets and carry around. We are passing through life and this YTT journey was a collective time of observing, learning, loving, and growing. Each moment flows into the next; life is continuous and nothing is ever truly lost. Nothing ends, only evolves into another form of energy within your world. No amount of energy can “leave” your life without there being an equal amount gained in return. Sure, we will grieve; we are human, after all. We’ve cried together, we’ve laughed together, we’ve OM’d together, we’ve inhaled the same air; we are bonded. We will sense a disturbance in our newly formed habit of waking up and delivering ourselves onto our mats, side-by-side. Tales told with such eagerness and grace; jokes shared beaming with the utmost empathy; heartfelt stories connecting us to our compassionate nature. No longer will we arrive to be greeted by our exquisite students and teachers alike. There will be no more late-night nerves thinking about how we are to come up with a 20-minute fire sequence to teach in the morning. We will not be sitting cross-legged next to what would perhaps be our most valued interactions of the day. We will now be spending our Monday through Thursday mornings in another space where these familiar faces may not reside. Fear not. We’ve formed comradery, thus no one is left behind. We are part of a community and will forever be tapped in to a space of unwavering support. We are now and will always be a family, all inclusive and gently wrapped with unconditional love. Each time we think back to the space we co-created together, let us feel our heart full of love. Familiarize yourself with the deep, meaningful connection we share. Present tense; not past. We will always be connected to each other in this capacity. We are all pieces of one another, direct reflections of the infinite within. You are uniquely living out my potential through you and I am living out your potential through the expression of me. We do not exist as separate forms, we are the same. We are all extensions of ourselves. There is no gap between us. I am a part of you and you have woven your way into my heart; eternally united as one. Walk with pride, my soul mates, for you are bright, shining lights on this earth. Unveiling yourself through this world, leaving pieces of your essence as a seed so it may be watered by the next, and go on as a blossom. You are all inspiring living souls with EVERYTHING to give and just as much to gain. By being YOU, the earth vibrates a little higher each day. By being YOU, permission and courage is granted for others to be THEM. Gift the rest of the world with your presence as you have done so eloquently with me.

the physical manifestation (circumstances, events, etc.) is meant to be used for you to celebrate the fruits of your mental level; it's not there for you to focus on living through the physical and taking cues from your circumstance...if what you want isn't within the scope of your currently perceived reality, use your imagination and focus on the feeling vibration that you desire. when that is focused upon, it will naturally reflect what is in alignment with your frequency. i exist independent from any thought from any belief any circumstance any identifiable point of focus and, simultaneously i reap all the fruits of my imagination of any thought any belief i am gifted with the opportunity to choose in every single moment how to perceive and interpret my circumstances what i resonate as is what i exist as how i define meaning in my life is what i exist as my internal vibration is what i project out into the world this is my purpose my passion my desire to be to embody all of infinity individually and collectively true merger with a holistic point of view a moving pendulum
swaying with the rhythm of my breath; each inhale is new air, yet recycled within these lungs of the earth nothing is brand new, only transformed into something and placed back together with glue providing this cohesive bond and materializing this manifestation with my very own magic wand the flow I'm in is the flow you're in we reside in the same place patterns of what once was possibly still is we've worn these grooves together, all of us salvaging the stormy weather experiencing it and giving it back, we're conditioned to feel the lack turning nothing into something so we may fear and then cling to anything worth mentioning gripping tightly to limitations, succumbing to temptations and bowing to frustrations is this our process? it seems so nauseous and thoughtless who the hell taught this? and with such distress, nonetheless the capillaries in which i float, this reality that i wrote coated in seeds of doubt and strategically planted throughout is a cleverly designed, one-of-a-kind illusion that I've intertwined with the truth love is the universal adhesive We all know that two halves make a whole. Well, so do hundreds, thousands, and millions of pieces. So you, the one reading this, you are part of my wholeness. What will I gain if I limit myself to a deep connection with one soul in world? Whether we've spent years together, shared brief glances, or you only know me in this capacity, each and every one of you influence how I show up and choose to be today. I want to take the time to acknowledge that you are in my life for a reason and I am in yours as a reflection of yourself. Our paths merged at some point to create more cohesion, completion and connection to the idea of oneness. For that, I am excited and grateful for life and everything that exists within this experience!
That is why I am driven to connect. I am compelled to interact with as many people in this world as I can. In doing so, I will unveil deeper aspects of myself. I will create more opportunities in which I can expose the vastness that is ME. I strive to connect with as many people as I can in this lifetime because, in doing so, I expand knowledge of who I am. I am provided with opportunities to remember various aspects of myself that I may not have necessarily seen had my eyes been the only witness. The more connections, the more ME I discover. For every unique encounter I am part of, I experience an additional facet of myself in the expression through another. Without you, I would not know this much of who I am. Without you, I would not be this complete and whole. I am blessed to have this many souls to reconnect me to my fullest, imperfectly perfect self. Thank you for being with me on this journey! in the "spiritual community" there is a lot of emphasis on focusing on the inner self and not paying attention to the external world. "don't externalize your success and value through others."
if we're all connected and mirrors of each other, doesn't it make sense to listen to and interact with as many other people as we can so we may have more of who we are unlocked and reflected back to us? the internal and external is all the same. if we are only focusing on the inner world, how are we ever going to witness and see other aspects of ourselves that other people offer to us? we remember more about ourselves and reveal more of ourselves through experiencing the external world with our senses. we can observe ourself through our own lens, which is limited. listening to how others view you is allowing yourself to reflect on more of the whole of who you are and provided you with more perspectives of what has the potential of being significant in the world. we're participating in this world together and we are all experiencing different aspects so we may come together to fill in more pieces of the infinite possibilities that exist. when you can extend unconditional love to someone else and realize in that same moment that you possess that same vibration of love for yourself, you have unlocked a secret. why must we focus so much attention on the inner self when EVERYTHING in our external world is a reflection? as long as we are recognizing that we can simultaneously give/show ourselves the exact same feeling that we are so effortlessly giving to another, we are expanding our knowledge of ourselves. we're constantly provided opportunities to receive new information about the inside from the outside. we can recognize success and gifts in others and if we can see that is within us, too, we become more empowered. it amplifies the internal vibratory resonance (IVR) in which we are currently. i suppose a substance/person/circumstance could provide a seemingly "separate" way for us to express outwardly to create distance so we may observe (be reflected back) our state of being (IVR).
it's still something that begins inside and originates from our IVR. nothing can provide relief for us either....substance is one manifestation that provides a view from "outside" ourselves and so it seems easier to allow something other than ourselves to provide relief. (mainly because most of us humans have minimal confidence in being able to support ourselves on all levels---physically, mentally, emotionally, etc.). we're doing all the "work" if we allow ourselves to see it that way and stop giving credit to outside sources for the "good" and take accountability with the "bad" amplifications. 🏻 perhaps you're thinking, "Yes AND external/societal pressures & stress do create a more challenging environment for the human experience/more susceptible to fall into addiction/reach for a bottle, etc. It's at least more difficult if and when the human is less resourced & /or removed from a sense of community and positive support." i do hold the belief more times than not that humans are wired to connect so, in this moment, i agree with the belief that it's more difficult for the human experience to rely solely on their own strengths. I also believe that if we had the confidence in our power to uncover the truth that we lack NOTHING, there is no need for any outside resources/support/anything "outside" ourselves...those are merely distractions we've delusionally thought up, agreed upon and manifested into the physical form in this shared, collective reality. we're super creative because this, in turn, allows more colorful expressions of self to be manifested! woooooo! the latter belief, potentially, defeats the whole purpose and experience of being a human...? I don't care if you believe that the grass is green or people who smoke will develop cancer or resolving all your sins will provide you the opportunity to go to heaven or the placebo effect is a crock of shit or you call yourself a failure when your goal isn't met or fits perfectly into your expectations or love is earned or if the world is some fucked up place full of hate and greed recognize your beliefs, support those in alignment, and reframe the ones that no longer feel good and do it only because you desire to we'll get by just fine and prosper whenever we expose ourselves to the truth that we need no one else's permission outside of our own be you and take pride in your choice of identification because this is all we have |
