Feasting Friday
|
For the new year, I want to try a new format here. Instead of opening with a (sometimes lengthy) newsletter, I'm writing the longform on substack and sharing in these newsletters. Like this: Article I Wrote This Week:Called Our Spiritual Fragility, I share some reflections as a teacher in the spiritual community for the last 7 years; both the central misunderstanding I've seen, and a potential remedy. Song I'm Listening on RepeatI'm pretty quick to skip a song if the intro doesn't hook me. The song this week was one I was about to skip into oblivion, never to return to again, but for some reason, I hesitated. After the first 30 seconds it begins to open, and by the 1 minute mark, it blooms into a gorgeous sonic kiss I've been playing on repeat intermittedly the last week. Enjoy. Dharma Artist HighlightIf you haven't yet met Ren, it is my great honor to introduce him to you (if you've known, salute). This song here, and this video, and the candid share at the end feels like the culmination of all that is godly about music, art, song, and capturing it all on film. This is a fkn masterpiece. (4:25 mark it starts getting mythical deep) Dharma Artifact ShareI'm hosting a dreamwalking challenge in 10 days. A bunch of us are gunna come together for a month and commit to catch, bloom, and act on behalf of our dreams each day. This supercharges synchronicity and brings a lot of awe and insight into waking life. If you're interested in joining us, sign up here. Quote I'm Enjoying"I sense the world might be more dreamlike, metaphorical, and poetic than we currently believe — but just as irrational as sympathetic magic when looked at in a scientific way. I wouldn't be surprised if poetry — poetry in the broadest sense, in the sense of a world filled with metaphor, rhyme, and recurring patterns, shapes, and designs — is how the world works. The world isn't logical, it's a song." Weekly Poll

Every week, I bring the best of what I've gathered. Enjoy the feast.
She slipped. Concrete sheered skin as gravity pulled her down the bank into the artificial river. After her body stopped bouncing off pavement, the pain kept her awake. She was lucid, and frozen; terrified and confused. The swelling concussion left her without context. But she could sense the water rushing. If not for him, she would have died. She felt his strong hands gathering her from the water. In a way she couldn't make sense of, she knew strangers were gathering, hand in hand, to form a...
Housekeeping: DEVA School closes Monday at midnight. If you want to learn the greatest hits of how I've made more than $800,000 in 3 years selling like an artist, this is where I teach those skills. -- -- -- As I write this, I'm sitting in what was once a cattle barn. It's now an event space with air conditioning. The walls are covered with psychedelic art. The wood beams that support those walls have absorbed thousands of people's prayers and purges. I'm here because I'm hosting an event for...
Welcome to another feasting friday. I just finished writing As We Go Through Trying Times. Give it a peep. Happy Spring Equinox. Song I'm Listening on Repeat As you might expect, the song I've been listening to is James Blake's Trying Times. So delicious, so good. Podcast I've Been Enjoying I've been getting very interested in Remote Viewing and am surprised how much good evidence for it exists. This is something you will be hearing more of from me in the weeks and months to come. The current...
