Let’s Talk About Entities One of the areas I feel most misunderstood by friends is the topic of entities. Specifically, entities they feel they have to ‘protect themselves’ from. I know a lot of people who invest a lot of time, attention, and money into practices, services, and products meant to clear, remove, or protect against entities. The result is a pantheon of techniques performed with quiet anxiety, like a friend who hand sanitizes every time they leave home. In the extreme, I’ve seen...

Warning: the topic of this emails is grotesque, but it is where my mind is at this weekend. I spent 9 hours the last three days learning about Jeffery Epstein. I don’t know if it’s pretentiousness or discernment, but I’ve been skeptical of most shares on the topic because I didn’t see evidence of strong epistemological rigor. We don’t give the devil his due when we’re sloppy with our imagination. That’s changed; I’ve found some journalistic rigor and it’s blown open my reality tunnel. The...

You’ve done good for a kid who came from a culture that ate their Elders. If you had living Elders leading your leaders, you would already know that the task of your life is to give birth to your Soul, and that what grows Soul is deliberate disobedience. You’d know that getting what we call a body is one of the most sought after experiences in the cosmos. You’d know that the Earth is a deity, our bodies her seeds, and planted in each of us is a sacred kind of plant we’ve come to call Soul....

It’s July 4th. I open instagram. The first story I click is from a friend who’s been a bartender for a decade. She shares a post where the phrase “there is absolutely nothing to celebrate today" is repeated on 20 slides of a carousel, with images of dead bodies and bomb-torn rubble. 80,000 like the post. 12 seconds have passed since opening my phone. I return to my home feed. I see Sam Altman sharing his perspective on July 4th (he's the founder of OpenAI & creator of ChatGPT). He writes how,...

What ought a citizen do when their government spends billions on bombs that are used to incinerate children? If I listen to social media, I’m suppose to post “I condemn the killing of children.” To say “Stop the genocide.” And that if I don’t periodically share stories of children bleeding, convulsing, and dead to ‘bring awareness;' I am complicit in their murders. I am a part of the genocide. If this is your worldview, the casino has you. The casino is in your pocket. Your infinite scrolling...

“Erick, James is here!” A huge smile filled Brett’s red, sweaty face. He’s drunk, and hoping I’ll go make a scene he can laugh at. It’s 2009, I’m a senior in high school, and my friends love to watch me suffocate people’s belief in God. Brett is hoping I’ll do that to James (he didn’t like James, about a girl I think). I’m not sure how the reputation started, but I have a painful memory of making a local pastor’s daughter cry in class as her and I debated the existence of the Christian God....

I recently watched the new Catch Me If You Can on Netflix. It was better than I expected, and the ending reminded me what I loved most about V for Vendetta. V for Vendetta is one of the myths that made me. I have watched it dozens of times. It lives in my bones. There are many facets I love about the movie, but what stands out here is the temporal vision V displays in his quest for vengeance. Our temporal vision is our ability to extend our worldview into the future - to anticipate,...

Welcome to another Feasting Friday (Monday Edition). This week's feast is brought to you by The Dharma Artist Collective; where Artist's go to focus and create. Poem that brought me to tears: David Whyte is one of my spiritual heroes. He pairs depth and levity in a way I don't see often, and when I do, I feel relieved. His energy and his telling of David Wagoner's "Lost" brought me to a stillness deeper than all this week's meditating combined. Enjoy. What I am reading: "Setting God Free" by...

On the night of April 15th, 2025, after 193 days vocal chord spasms, I got my voice back for about 5 hours. It happened, of all places, at a business mastermind. Some of you may not know, but I've been co-hosting large events the last 7 years with Fit For Service. However, I have never gone to someone else's event. In all my days on this Earth, I had never gone to any mastermind or summit outside those I help create. This surprised me when I realized it a few weeks ago (what arrogance lol)....
