FUD (an acronym for Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt)[1] I see a lot of that. I see a lot of FUD. Most people in a position of influence yielding their personal bias instead of holding space and accepting that the fear that emanates from the current chaos is something to first be accepted as a human. Two—it can be used as a springboard to actually change a perspective. The nodes squaring the last full moon have been a perfect terrain for that. What do I still have to inquire that can give me a wider perspective instead of keep me in the jail of my certainty? All perspectives are tinted with half-truths, so isn’t it great to be alive today to discover multiple ways to evolve? My writings are not abstract. In the contrary, they are meant to make you dive deeper into your inquiry. I challenge anyone who disagrees with me to establish an eloquent dialogue. I have been training in the dojo of social media for the past years. My truth is not absolute. I still learn new things every day, but I am not afraid to speak up anymore. * Cojones * Balls * Palle You know what I mean. The worst thing that can happen is the inevitable—and that is death—so between here and there: be brave. As much as I hated my last name growing up for the amount of jokes I was submitted to, I learned to love it and live by it. Not every decision I have made has gone great, but I can attest that when I am not in my authentic aura, and don’t trust my instincts, and don’t take time for my emotional wave even to respond to a comment— All goes to poopoo and gets misaligned. Two days ago I was mourning a part of me that lived on projections, on ideals that served me well until now. I give thanks to the people and situations that allowed this energy to snap into a different timeline. Own your s**t, people. It is as simple as doing your bed in the morning, even if you have help. Brush your teeth and be caring towards your vessel. Self-abandonment was the keyword this week that reminded me of what I don’t want— To drown in an ocean of pity and blame the collective blob for my lack of accountability. Short and sweet. I have no more to say. Just be f*****g happy if you dare. Bombs, riots, injustices all around— What are YOU creating that speaks about the field of life? See ya at the turn of next week. I have been praying to keep my soul aligned to my purpose—as I came here to evolve,and to do so by creating beautiful situations, environments, images, and things. Speaking of which— I’m going to leave you with the introduction to a chapter from my book, The Nature of My Reality.
