To live in impeccable responsibility and devoted abandon is The Prayer 🙏🏽

God, give me the clarity of mind to know Your way,
and the courage of heart to follow it.

🙏🏽Aum’en

We need your help ⛑️

🙏🏽 Please comment “DONATE” or share this post so we may raise funds to support those heavily affected.

I will be directly managing and ensuring that funds are used well.

In moments like these is when the rubber meets the road, and all the “spiritual” work we say we’ve done, either finds expression or not.

To be human,
Lovingly human,
Compassionately human,

Is to serve Life,
and therefore God.

And if there’s someone hungry before me,
it is my food,
not my love, light and prayers,
which will feed them.

If God answers prayers,
He does so through willing human hands.

Let us BE those willing hands.

Journal entries from Turkey 🇹🇷🖊️

I spent most of my 20s convinced there was nothing other than the physical..

So in my first Ayahuasca ceremony my intention was kind of arrogant / defying: “Prove to me there’s more than this (5-sense reality)”

And oh boy, did she prove it!..

Hours later I was begging her to pull back the veil and not show me any more.

I then spent close to a decade as a “devoted medicine man”

Trying to be a “good husband” a “good leader” and a “good servant” of life.

By trying to suppress all I thought was wrong with me:
🥵My humanity.

I went celibate (even though I’d have crazy fantasies all the time)

I renounced most foods (ate one vegan meal a day for a long time, yet would have dessert compulsions)

I stopped being social (since life was all about service, and over relied on my family instead)

I became someone without needs, desires or wants of my own..

Other than being (performing) a good man for my ex wife, clients and the world

Until I found out that what we demonize, turns into a demon 👺

And mine grew big in the shadows

Until they all came out!

The anger I suppressed,
The lust I pretended not to feel,
The fear I acted as if I did not have

As well as the joy I’d forgotten,
The passion for life I had shamed
The curiosity and play I thought were childish

I realized I was trying to be holy,
and forgot to be whole

I was looking for validation when I was the party kid just as much as I was when I was a shaman’s apprentice

Trying to prove my worth to girls in my 20s,
or to spiritual seekers and my followers in my 30s

This past year I started to return home

Loving my humanity

Dancing again

Laughing out loud

To no longer caring to be seen as some sort of “guru” and instead, relating once again from what makes me human

I dream, I love, I cry

I pray, I play, I dance

I have lived many deaths in this life

and have found that spirituality is the ego’s favorite mask to wear

So I now understand the teachings of the elder:

Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water..

After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water.

Thank you for reading!

Greece was a BIG dance with life.. ❤️‍🔥👇🏽

🔥 From leading a couple hundred people through The Fire of Grace workshop at Colibri Spirit Festival

⛵️To sailboat adventures with friends, where a Yawanawá elder joined and shared her music..

🐟To breaking my vegan rigidity and having the best freshly caught fish of my life, from a kind fisherman named Thomas..

Plus meeting dozens of my followers, having nourishing conversations , sitting in tea ceremonies, playing guitar and sleeping under the stars amidst the Ionian sea..

All while coming off the worst flu,
losing my voice
and running on next to no sleep.😴

Years ago I had a mentor in the jungle who taught me that total austerity and denying ourselves all pleasures (trips, concerts, comforts..) was the way to come closer to God.

I tried it and ended up feeling miserable.

I realized that God is Life.

And one doesn’t come closer to Life by looking down on her, rejecting her or seeing her as unworthy of one’s attention.

I then participated in a small private coaching group led by Hormozi ($100M+ Brand, billionaire entrepreneur) where I saw how effort, focus and prioritizing (worshiping😂) work was the way to live..

I learned to grind and make money but soon realized that there’s little value in building a castle if you have no time, health or loved ones to share it with..

And all business rush is but building sand castles.

For a house without a heart will never feel like home.

🙏🏽 So Greece felt like healing the extremes and coming full circle:

Being of service
Being playful

Being still
Dancing freely

Keeping God in my mind,
& both of my feet on the ground.

Led by the divine,
in service of life.

Embracing it all,
luxury and simplicity
company and solitude
clarity and confusion.

I’m starting to fall in love with Life once again,
and I can’t help but notice,
that Life is in love with me too.

Gratitude to all of you whom I got to share a piece of my life -and heart- with 🙏🏽♥️

Love you.
