Fear is infamous for masking the truth, because we are too afraid of the fear to face what is. We don't want to know ... yet, simultaneously, we can never not-know. Such is the nature of the double-binds that keep us captive...

feel powerful in doing something… even if it is just depleting their own Life Force.For others, fear activates the flight response and they feel compelled to run away. To just keep running. The problem is … the fear comes with them. For others still, fear paralyzes them on the spot. They can’t move. They can’t function. They can’t breathe. They hold their breath and hope for the best. 

So if you’re awake to what’s happening and you seek to create a meaningful life anyway, you are in the right place. If, however, you’d rather put your head in the sand about what’s happening and go on about your day, consider this is your out.

As I tread along creating meaningfully in my life, I notice so-much-bulshit going around. Part of me is filled with a strange yearning for the good ol’ days, and the other part of me knows that there was never really such a thing. At least not in my lifetime, nor any of the times I romanticize as better than. Perhaps, though, there were some parts that were better then (whenever that is) and there are parts that are better now. Given the choice, I categorically choose now.

This blog isn’t about AI taking over the world. This blog is about living authentically, and what it takes to actually do that in a world that demands you use AI for everything (in the process, normalizing AI as superior). Here’s my stance on it: I am unwilling to become one with the cloud.

I know through my own experience how fast my life has changed out there when I can take a deep dive in here in a space that exceeds the current cultural conditioning. This space has become sacred to me. I have not yet found them anywhere else.

Here’s my promise to you: if you keep doing what you’re doing, believing what you believe, you’ll keep creating what you’re creating. Every choice you make either maps to your history and limitation, or to your potential and expansion. Why? Because that’s how choice works – if you don’t know how to choose from your Emerging Authentic Self, then you are trapped in seeking to create change from your culturally conditioned self. Yikes! Not only not fun at all, but also impossible. 

How to integrate the layers upon layers of cultural conditioning that is intended to keep you small and externally referenced.

Shame is culture's most powerful weapon because it works. In the last Igniting Your Potential monthly gathering, I found myself saying something along the lines of “parents intentionally choose shame as a tool in order to control their children's behaviour”. 

You see, that’s the fundamental lie that plagues our global cultural beliefs. Everything is peachy out there and if you feel anything but numb to all the (utterly indisputable) bullshit, then there’s something wrong with you.
