Feasting Friday (Sunday Service)


Jung said another name for his God is 'Chance.'

I love that.

Sometimes, when I'm stuck, I'll assign 6 behaviors to each side of a dice.

  1. dance for 5 minutes
  2. sing for 5 minutes
  3. read a poem aloud
  4. do tai chi for 5 minutes
  5. meditate for 5 minutes
  6. journal for 5 minutes

Some little wisp of whimsy sparks the moment I cast the cube because a part of me knows I've just surrendered, and am allowing some greater force to guide me.

This game is great fun.

I really love games. In ways I don't know how to articulate, I think games are more powerful than stories, and I think stories shape cultures, the future, and our fate.

I also like selling like an artist, and try to create some kind of offer so interesting it makes people smile when they learn about it. To commemorate the end of Fit For Service, I'm offering one final game that honor's Jung's god Chance.

I'm offering a 1:1 dharma day to someone who does the following four tasks:

  1. likes and shares this post
  2. comments 'fk it, we ball' or the basketball emoji
  3. gets a Legacy pass to the Afterlight summit ($333)
  4. is present on my webinar when i call their name (Dec 20th, 6pm CT)

I will use a random number generator to select the winner. I will keep calling names until someone on the call claims the spot. That person and I will then schedule a 1:1 day where I will offer my full attention to their dreams, dharma, and whatever else arises. As an intense introvert, this makes me nervous, and I like doing things that make me nervous lol.

People have offered me thousands of dollars to do a 1-hour call with them and I've said no because it didn't stoke the artist in me. I enjoy group containers, but the variable of chance in this offer stokes me, so this is officially the only way to work with me 1:1 currently.

There will only be one winner, but everyone who gets a Legacy Pass will get access to the Afterlight online summit from Dec 19th to the 21st, where we will be hosting 15 workshops over those 3 days. They will also get access to download over 50 hours of FFS workshops and talks we've collected from 7 years of hosting our in-person events (many that we've never before released to the public).

Here's a taste of what is in that vault:

This is by far the most generous and most affordable thing we've created in our 7 year history.

So if you'd like to get one final taste of the Fit For Service medicine, come join us this weekend, Dec 19-21st.

And if you'd like to get a chance to work with me 1:1, fulfill the 4 tasks above and let's see who Jung's god chooses.

PS. in order to qualify, you've got to get the legacy pass ($333), plus be on my webinar when I call your name. Good luck.

PPS. by playing you agree to act like an adult if you aren't chosen.

Song I'm Listening on Repeat

since I'm still listening to this on repeat, we're running it back.

Quote I'm Enjoying

“Shall we be able to put on, like a new suit of clothes, ready-made symbols grown on foreign soil, saturated with foreign blood, spoken in a foreign tongue, nourished by a foreign culture, interwoven with foreign history, and so resemble a beggar who wraps himself in kingly raiment, a king who disguises himself as a beggar? For nobody is this possible. Or is there something in ourselves that commands us to go in for no mummeries, but perhaps even to sew our garments ourselves? ... If we now try to cover our nakedness with the gorgeous trappings of the East, we would be playing our own history false. It seems to me that it would be far better stoutly avow our spiritual poverty, our symbol-less-ness, instead of feigning a legacy to which we are not the legitimate heirs at all. We are, surely, the rightful heirs of Christian symbolism, but somehow we have squandered this heritage. We have let the house our fathers built fall into decay, and now we try to break into Oriental palaces that our fathers never knew.”
-Jung

Every week, I bring the best of what I've gathered. Enjoy the feast.

I spent six hours yesterday looking at the child sex trafficking network on this planet. These six hours are added to a total of hundreds that I’ve given to try and understand evil, psychopathology, and child abuse. Not true crime documentaries or sensational youtube conspiracies, rather, psychiatric case studies, award-winning investigative journalism, court documents, and survivor testimony. Why do I do this? I am naive and sincere when I say I want a renaissance. If humanity is a...

I'm starting my first dream class in a few days called Dreamwalkers Vol.1, and I've noticed I haven't said plainly why I think you should join. This email is that (and if you know it's not for you but want to see an example of selling like an artist, enjoy). There are 4 reasons you should join this class: You're tired of forgetting (and getting your ass kicked by samsara) You want a direct living relationship with God beyond doubt You know you waste time and energy hesitating before you act...

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 Repeat I'm pretty quick to skip a song if the intro doesn't hook me....
