How to Cultivate Wild Freedom

Behind my thoughts lies a sea of pure freedom. Beyond my emotions lies a land that’s wild and free. This is the land I wish to live.

Sometimes I remember the combination it takes to open all the locks. Other times it comes more naturally, in moments of transcendence. These are the best. Effortless freedom. When reality cracks at the foundation to reveal something deeper and more pure.

The moonlight sonata of chaos also brings the subtle tones of peace and beauty. This ride is the ride we all hope for. To walk towards something resembling freedom.

How Writing Saved My Life

I opened up an old spiraled notebook. The pages were bent, the metal spine could barely hold the pages. The lines were drooping from a minor water spill.

I had to lick the pen. The ink was so dry. The pen was cracked. My hands were covered in ink.

I loved every second of it.

Consumption Filters

Being deliberate about what you consume means shutting out a lot of incoming elements.

Curating your Facebook feed isn’t enough to become mindful about what you’re letting into your life. Your TV is evil. Drama is an addiction.

Only the truth will set you free.

The Path Of Healing

What does self-healing even mean?

We have a view of healing that draws directly from our mechanical worldview. Healing equates to modern medicine, which lead to tests, machine involvement and if we’re lucking a pill we can pop every night before bed.

This view distances us from who we really are. It creates a false sense of disconnection. It spurs from the mindset of separation that keeps us wrapped tight inside our own cocoons.

Anyone or anything on the outside is perceived as a direct threat to me. This way of living works, if you like living in constant fear and anxiety.

For those of us that don’t there is another way.

Choosing Freedom

Freedom is all about choice.

As a society we’re cultured into fear. I used to be afraid to leave the classroom to go to the bathroom. I was also painfully shy (so your feelings of fear might be a little different).

As I got older, I realized most systems I was living in were filled with a bunch of bullshitters. Instead of doing anything real the focus was on blending, on talking out of your ass. On doing just enough to go unnoticed.

On maintaining a status quo. Personal freedom is bad for business.

Can Words Be Psychoactive?

Words can act on their own to effectively alter reality.

Once a psychedelic compound has been ingested it’s time to set sail.

Literature can have this same effect.

The moment you open a book you’ve been brought into a new world. From this moment you’re never going to be the same.

Stubbornness is Truth

When we choose our own destiny, we choose the path meant for us all along.

Instead of externalities shaping our vision we let our inner pull guide us towards the direction that is best. This usness is what the world needs, and is what we need to feel alive and full within our human experience.

Anything less is simply living the life of another. Shaped by a loop of karmic cause and effect. A purely reactionary lifestyle, never creating or doing anything of true value.

It’s Okay to Be Small

You have to know deep down you are going to reach your destination. The struggle is part of the process. It’s part of the journey. As you look back this might even be the most enjoyable part.

Relish in the times when you don’t have an audience to please. When you don’t have people expecting certain things from you. This is when you are truly free. The pressure is removed completely, you are free to push the boundaries of creation, art and yourself.

Why You Should Dance Like An Idiot

At some point the adult version of ourselves decides the world isn’t fun or magical anymore, we decide it’s time to get to work and grow up.

This is a critical mistake.

The world is always magic. The world is always alive.

A child’s eyes see reality’s potential. It’s not the naiveté it’s commonly marked out to be. It’s connected more closely to truth than our rigid eyes can ever hope to see.

The “Real World” As a Myth

When did we stop playing?

When did life get serious and all of the joy leave our day to day existence? No more unstructured fun. Play is relegated to the immature, those who don’t want to grow up.

We’re told there is a tipping point where the fun stops and the work begins. This isn’t true. We’ve been told a lie. We can believe what we choose to believe and live accordingly.
