Feasting Monday (special edition)
|
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, strategize, and surprise. In order for V to orchestrate his will, he is required to see, plan, and execute through decades. This is highlighted most beautifully in his repairing the underground railway for 10 to 15 years, alone and by hand (god, something about that image just gives my soul life). This Temporal Vision is one of our cognitive powers most injured in our current age. Most people's temporal vision is fragmented into minutes and seconds (the average person checks their phone 200 times a day). The ones amongst us who have the attentional skill to hold complex jobs...their attentional vision is at most somewhere between quarterly earning reports and the next election cycle. Who are the ones with 30, 50, 100 year visions? I believe cultivating our temporal vision is one of the key skills required to navigate the Schizophrenic Renaissance we're in. Tenderly and respectfully, humanity is navigating a global cognitive emergency. If you don't know what I mean by the Schizophrenic Renaissance, here is the recording from a call I did yesterday. You should watch it. If you feel the call to meet the others who repairing their temporal vision and trying to help build a future worth passing on to the next generation, you should join my Mentally Fit class this summer. Meet the others. Mentally Fit is a kind of initiation into the Schizophrenic Renaissance. You will get a new Operating System that can thrive in our highly wryd times. However, some of you will feel the call to join, but your stories about money will keep you from taking the leap. For yall, I'm giving away thousands worth of free product. I want to help anyone trying to wake up to our current situation. Click here to get the free 'Shimmer First Aid Kit.' The rest of the email explains what all the free goodies are in the above link. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, confused, and distracted recently, you should watch this. But more potently, I want to explain the Free Goodies the golden arrow is pointing to.
The first link is for the 'Shimmer First Aid Kit.' This is a bundle of my 3 online courses: If you use the link before midnight Tuesday, you will get all three courses for free. Those courses are the distillation of a decade of self-experimentation and they've helped thousands already. You get them for free as a thank you. The second link is to a 3 hour masterclass I gave where I showed, in detail, how I made over 500k last year selling my art. If you're an artist looking for inspo on how to sell without selling out, that video is for you. The 3rd link is for a 2 hour masterclass showcasing how I organize my computer and phone to thrive in this wild time. If you're looking to upgrade your organizational game, this is the video for you. The fourth link is an in-depth overview of my mentally fit class. I share each of the major books I have used to create this class. This is for those who like to read every word on the back of the box before they buy. The final link is an Easter Egg (lol). Use these free gifts to join those of us who dare to dream that we can contribute to building a future we're proud to pass on to the next generation. And if you're ready to take the leap and meet the others, join my Mentally Fit 5 class. PS. Enroll before midnight Tuesday, and you'll get $5,600 worth of bonuses (watch the call recording if you have questions). Big love and wishing you exciting but intentional shimmer surfing.

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