Fear is the Gateway
As I relinquished control, slowed down, and trusted, the world did not end. Instead, things fell into place.

A long while ago in meditation I saw a flash of light. My meditation timer sounded, and then there was a large crack sound. Startled and looked over. The candle wax had split in the shape of a cross…. I reached out to a mentor at the time, ‘What does it mean?’ She wrote back,ContinueContinue reading “X(Twitter) Archive — 2026-02-01”
X(Twitter) Archive — 2026-01-30
Yesterday taught me something. The day felt confused at first, but the lesson became clear in a dream last night. Emotional intensity isn’t a glitch in our system, it’s part of who we’re meant to be. When emotions are allowed to flow and be embodied rather than repressed, we can live inside them without beingContinueContinue reading “X(Twitter) Archive — 2026-01-30”
Honoring the Shadows, Facing the Sun
The following morning, I found myself back on the same spaceship. Two buttons sat on the console in front of me. One would reverse everything and return me to my life as it was. The other was death.
The crew stared at their captain, me. The counselor pleaded with me to choose life. I turned to her with grace and said, “Fear is the gateway. I choose to enter the gateway.”
I pressed the Death button, and the image faded.
Active Imagination Part 2 of 2: Active Imagination & Aphantasia
Then I came across some of the forgotten active imagination sessions from the years prior.
I started to transcribe them.
As I read them, I saw them differently than I did when I had the sessions. Right there on the page in front of me was some of the deepest wisdom I could have had at that time in my life, and here I just closed the book on it.
A Tool of Reality Creation
More and more people today recognize that where we put our attention shapes how we experience reality. Some small examples are that of athletes who visualize success before competition. Gratitude practices to notice abundance. What we focus on expands. Yet I’d argue we often don’t seem to live up to that belief. It is asContinueContinue reading “A Tool of Reality Creation”
Active Imagination Part 1 of 2: The Old Man
I had felt compressed for days, like I was collapsing in on myself. Something churned in the background, just beyond reach. Like I was fighting something, but what? There was a visceral even, physical response to this pressure. My muscles became sore, and my neck seemed to crystalize. What was this? It felt connected toContinueContinue reading “Active Imagination Part 1 of 2: The Old Man”
A Creative Spark
I have been on a journey this past year. I could not see it for myself at the time, but looking back, it’s clear. As the year ended, I could feel the entire previous twelve months coming to a head, reaching fullness, like a full moon. The journey started with that tired question: “Why doContinueContinue reading “A Creative Spark”
The Wheel of Fortune and What It Taught Me About Sustained Creativity
The Wheel of Fortune visited me a few days before Christmas. It did not bring instant riches or a winning lottery ticket, but perhaps it brought something even more powerful. This simple morning Tarot pull sparked something. I did not really feel it immediately, but as the days passed, pressure was building. By Christmas Day,ContinueContinue reading “The Wheel of Fortune and What It Taught Me About Sustained Creativity”
