🎙 The Story of the Hermit
“…the hermit represents a very potent, very Highly evolved Being that has considerably more access to Remembering Knowingness — while in physical form — than other people around him in the world.”
Sometimes, when I refer to the hermit, I wonder if I should be referring to Atlas. Yes, the hermit isolates to self/Self-preserve. Having said that, the hermit can cave hop the world over and he will never find reprieve from the responsibility in the hiding.
This latest podcast episode examines where reclusive, isolating tendencies can originate. It speaks to the underlying Gifts the hermit refuses to share unless he exits his cave. Ultimately, it’s a call to step up.
As you listen to this episode, consider reflecting on the following prompt:
If you had a choice between public authenticity and the hermit’s cave, which would you choose and why?

📚 Why is steadiness and stability important?
Steadiness refers to embodying an unwavering state/State, one in which you are free from indecision. In steadiness, you are resolved with your circumstances and there is no lack of resolution restricting your access to clarity nor stimulating resistance to continue progressing on your path. Steadiness is liberated from doubt, concern, and any need to feel or to take on the struggles of others as a way of either relating to them or of alleviating the guilt of not suffering alongside them.
Stability speaks to the constancy of will and is immune to external influences of counter intention in opposition to your Reason for Being in this life in the name of the Contribution of Service you have come here to offer the world. Don’t let anything push you. Develop stability. Stability infuses one’s path with fortitude and integrity as long as it can be accessed and maintained, even in the midst of aggressive opposition.

📚 What is the difference between looking and Looking?
When looking is written in lowercase, it refers to directing the physical eyes toward something and perceiving it visually. The key here is the decision to direct the eyes toward the object of perception. For example, you could be seeing something in your periphery but not looking at it because you are not directing the eyes toward it.
There is an inherent implication in looking at something that reveals the seeking out of visual content for some reason. The decision to look for your keys is for the purpose of finding them, therefore you seek something you don’t have through the looking. You could be looking for your keys but not seeing them because you haven’t sought them out yet (i.e., you haven’t been able to direct your physical eyes toward them because you haven’t come across them).
When Looking is capitalized, it represents an activity actively engaged in from awareness in which one leverages the Attribute of Sight to expand one’s view of a scene. This scene can be both physical and in the Quantum (for example, you look at your friends standing in front of you [physical] while you Look at how they feel about one another [Quantum]). Alternatively, the scene can be primarily in the Quantum (for example, you Look at the State of your Soul).
When you look for your keys, you could be in autopilot or rationalizing where they should be as you take action based on direction from the mind. When Looking for your keys, you identify where they are from your Knowingness (not a mind-based activity) prior to seeing them in the physical.
There is a very important difference between looking and Looking, and it resides in the seeking. Seeking is an expression of scarcity. You can get away with looking for something while seeking it out, but you cannot Look from a place of scarcity. The desire to find out something or the need to make sense of something stunts one’s Ability to Look. Attempting to Look while in scarcity becomes an exercise in seeking something that will not show up, no matter how hard you try.

🎙 Balance and Neutrality
“Vulnerability comes in quite significantly at these earlier stages of journey into Service because one has to be open and honest with oneself in what is keeping them from entering into neutrality and Service in the first place.”
This latest podcast episode examines why balance and neutrality can’t get married. It’s not even that they’re too different or that they wouldn’t get along. It’s because they exist in different Spaces.
As you listen to this episode, consider reflecting on the following prompt:
When someone says to you, “Life is about balance.” or “It’s all about finding the right balance.” what do you hear?

📚 What is Remembering?
In order to appreciate the meaning of Remembering, it is essential to have clarity on what Spirituality means. Spirituality is a deeply refracted, mutated, and manipulated concept in this world. Spirituality is not an elevated hobby. It is not a badge to embroider on a lapel so as to wear importance. Spirituality is also not a form of escapism.
The suffix “-ality” signifies the nature of something. Spirit-u-ality denotes the phenomenon of Spirit in form; the nature of Spirit in form. Given that Spirit is formless, Its expression takes place in form (for there is no expression in formlessness).
[Fun fact: reality (re + ality) means to return to the nature of something. Experiential planes are navigated through realities. Experiential planes are Designed as places in which to figure out how to return to your nature as Spirit.]
We are human Beings having a Spiritual experience. In other words, we are Spirit, here on Earth, expressing as Consciousness in conjunction with the human State of Mind while in a biological vessel, navigating physicality in Earthling form.
Someone who is Spiritual is someone who originates at Spirit. That is everyone.
How does Spirituality relate to Remembering? Remembering is the part of the journey where we recognize that we are more than our body, more than our Thoughts, more than our emotions and experiences combined.
In this world, Remembering involves transcending the human experience so that you have access to that which exists beyond the illusion of physicality. Why would anyone want to do that? So that the illusion no longer suppresses you into its effect.

🎙 Unwavering in the Illusion
“[Truth] is not about whether you lie to people, it’s about whether you can See beyond the illusion.”
This latest podcast episode examines which parts of the reality are the illusion, and which parts are real.
As you listen to this episode, consider reflecting on the following prompt:
[Consider completing this prompt before you listen to the recording. Then check if your answers change once you’ve listened to it.]
If you could make a wish and be transported to a location on this planet where you would most want to live, where would you wish to go? How does your State change when you imagine being there now?
And if you got another wish that would guarantee that you would never have to visit the one place on the planet where you would most not want to visit, what place would that be? How does your State change when you imagine being there now?
Are either of those locations on the planet any less a part of the illusion?
Can you remain unwavering, regardless of your location in the illusion?

📚 What is the Observer?
To appreciate the Observer, it helps to recognize the character first. A character is comprised of a role and a personality.
The Observer is a pseudocharacter in that it represents one of the two aspects of the way a character is typically expressed, but not the other. The Observer does play a role but the Observer does not have a personality. That doesn’t mean it’s dry and dull, boring and tedious to be around. No personality simply leads to the drama becoming increasingly irrelevant.
The difference between the Observer and the character is that there is enough Space between the Observer and the experience for the experience to be evidently distinct from the experiencer. In the evidence of that distinction, the option to have clarity of the situation becomes available.
Clarity can lead to a greater capacity to discern the invisible dynamics of any experience, and that discernment can very quickly lead to accessing Knowingness from outside of the illusion of physicality when in a Connected State.
There is still an element of judgment in the Observer but this judgment can easily be converted into discernment in the process of disciplined application of the Observer State.
How can this be?
Because the Observer is a catalyst of change. The Observer changes you. It changes the way you interpret your experiences. It expands your viewpoint and invites you to appreciate more of the nuances that compose the hidden gems of expansion embedded into experience. The key is to shift out of navigating experience from within the experience, while relying on the Mind to make sense of the experience. Instead, clock the experience by Being engaged in the experience without identifying with the experience.
This is available as long as you don’t identify with the experience.

🎙 Provector and Atmospheric Influence
“Why Atmospheric Influence is so important in this life is because it is asked to be used to give people an experience of the New reality.”
This latest podcast episode examines two complex Attributes. The reason for releasing this episode isn’t to make your life more difficult; it is to reveal nuances associated with the shift into 5, so that the magnitude of this process starts to become visible. In particular, it is to show you the nature of Divine Intervention required at this stage in the process.

Boléro and Me
There is a chamber orchestra sitting outside my window in front of the cathedral that stands across the street. Row upon empty row of chairs streaming out from the middle of the piazza.
Do you know how I woke up today? The subtle music of Ravel's Boléro began playing outside, trickling in through the bedroom window, and opened my eyes. As I sat at the antique wooden table in the dining room, looking out through the window at the orchestra playing in unison, I slipped in between the notes. As they got louder, the chaos of the traffic, of the sirens and of the honking drivers fell away. All that remained was Boléro and me.
To live in the moment is to forget about yourself. Forget about your skin, about your clothes. To forget about whether you are sitting or standing. To be in the moment, you must forget about your breath, and put all your trust in your lungs, Knowing they will Know what to do. To trust your ears that they will Know what to register, and to have certainty that your eyes Know to show you where to lay your gaze. To live in the moment is to stop time, to still motion, to cover the picture in front of you and see every detail more brilliantly then ever before.
What do you think Ravel was thinking when he first heard Boléro in his head? Do you think that if he stopped for a moment to judge the notes, or to recognize the magnitude of what he was about to bring into the world, he would have continued to do it? Or, would the significance of a Message that would transcend time have frozen him stiff?
I think, that while thinking, we all think too much.
~ Rome, 1997

📚 What is the Quantum?
The “Quantum” is an abbreviation of the term “Quantum Field.” It is capitalized within this context because it represents a construct outside of physicality.
Science studies the physical aspects of the Quantum Field. There is a theory called the quantum field theory. This theory examines the relationship between quantum mechanics and relativity to offer an explanation for the behaviour of subatomic particles within the conditions established by a variety of force fields.
When we refer to the Quantum, we are referring to the energetic fabric that composes this Universe. Having said that, the Quantum Field extends beyond this Universe. The Laws governing the Quantum are determined by the container within which it is navigated. A Universe is an example of a container. In order to isolate our conversation about the dynamics influencing us in this Universe, we focus our attention on the Quantum in this Universe.

🎙 Repudiation and Ramifications
“…the length of time…in the Window of Ramifications is directly proportional to the degree to which you are resistant to moving into 5.”
This latest podcast episode showcases a discussion held at the end of June 2024. The Window of Repudiation had just closed, and we were freshly navigating the beginnings of the Window of Ramifications (the second of three Windows in this lifetime that facilitate the shift into 5). We discuss the distinctions of the two Windows and some of the complexities ahead.
As you listen to this episode, consider reflecting on the following prompt:
Given that those Contracted to shift into 5 are currently navigating the Window of Ramifications, consider journalling on how your experience has been thus far. There are many references in this episode that can Serve as prompts to aid in your examination.

📚 Why is Space capitalized?
Space, when capitalized, is not the same concept as room. When you clear books off of a shelf, you make room on the shelf. When you make Space, you expand energetic real estate. In other words, making Space is an Act of expansion. (When “Act” is capitalized, it represents an Action done in awareness rather than on autopilot.)
You can make Space by releasing an attachment to an emotion or to a belief. You can also make Space by becoming aware of your breath; this is an example of how raising your awareness results in the natural byproduct of making more Space. Making Space between you and the experience is the way to activate the State of the Observer.
For support on raising awareness of your breath, consider the One Breath meditation.
