Spiritual Musings From A Modern Hermit

Namaste, Y'all,  If there's one word that I would use to describe my life after relocating back to the west coast, it would be fascinating. With the amount of insights, fresh perspective, and the absence of negative factors, it has been mind-blowing and afforded me the opportunity to heal some much-needed areas in my life. Many of the cycles that I was enmeshed in are now gone and have been replaced with an ease and clarity I haven't known before. It feels so damn good to not have any more fucks to give and not have to engage in the pointless mind games that most people get hung up on due to their fragile and unhealed egos. It's a relief to be out of the matrix of deluded souls feeding off those who are clear about their life mission and purpose. Talk about separating the chaff from the wheat. Life lessons are a thing.    One of the life lessons I learned was witnessing grown-ass adults still stuck in their grade school characters trying to convince others they weren...

Namaste, y'all, There are times in one's life when you're at a loss for words due to the overwhelming emotions playing within your psyche, and a song provides the message you want to convey perfectly. Well, this is such a moment for me. Below are the lyrics to the gospel song I'm Not The Same, by Walter Hawkins, expressing how I feel regarding the recent changes in my life. When you know, you know.  Choir: I'm not the same everything has changed  Because of Christ Solo: I came to Christ just as I was I was lost deep in sin I had no peace of God within And now I'm not the same Because everything has changed  Because of Christ Choir: Somebody said, somebody said  (somebody said) They told me (that I) they said that I  (couldn't make it) Couldn't make it Somebody said, somebody said  (somebody said) They told me, they said, that don't you know  That I (that I) that I couldn't take it (that you wouldn't be able to take it) Oh, I'm not the sam...

Namaste, Y'all,  In today's entry, I want to share with you some in-depth insights into life lessons I've experienced the past couple of months. Our daily affairs offer prime opportunities to glean wisdom and personal empowerment if we're open to them. Some are subtle and develop over time, while others will blast their way front and center making it crystal clear what the universe is conveying to us. I will touch on both types, and I hope you find beneficial guidance on your personal journey. This is by no means the blueprint for you to follow; it's information I encountered in my personal life. We are all responsible and accountable for our life experiences because we're constantly creating them. And some are stuck on repeat mode because we fail to learn how to break out of the cycles and manifest a new healed version of ourselves. It wasn't easy to face the truth of how I was operating, but that's a part of the healing that enables one to integrate th...

Namaste, 'Y'all,  And what a Mercury Retrograde this is proving to be—one for the records. Firstly, because I moved out of a negative living situation, and secondly, I had the opportunity to see just how much of a mess my life experience was due to overriding factors and my complacency. As the saying goes, you can't see the forest for the trees. Well I was immersed fully in the jungle and had no clue I was even in it. Talk about existing through the ego. Now I realize that those small wins were no more than an exercise in mental masturbation, really.   It recently dawned on me how much of my personal power was invested in keeping things together that were none of my business. I had unconsciously engaged in a perpetual power struggle that had no ending in sight. So Spirit had a serious sit-down chat with my higher self and pointed out some harsh truths for me to consider. My emotions had taken on a life of their own, leaving me blindsided by my actions, which I thought wer...

 Namaste,Y'all,   I recently relocated back to the west coast, and I feel so relieved. Honestly, it was not long ago that I even refused to entertain the idea of moving back, but life and shifts happen. The process began four months ago while I was meditating on the life I wanted to experience. Over the course of several weeks, I noticed my attention wavering on the location that I had locked in on. It would slowly shift into the landscapes of the west coast and bring a familiar calm within my being. Then my intuition began to ask me if I was open to other options to explore, to which I replied, yes. Next thing I know, my resistance fell completely, and I surrendered to spirit to present me with the best results to manifest my desires. As the tarot card The Hanged Man's message suggest, I turned my world view point upside down and was shown a whole new path filled with viable options to pursue.   And as fate would have it, the images and desired outcome began to chan...

Namaste`, Y'all,   I had a conversation with a soul sister of mine a couple of days ago, and the topic of fearmongering to control others came up via the media and people projecting their toxicity onto others. I was immediately reminded of a talk by Dr. Wayne Dyer, where he was sharing why we don't need to worry about ill intentions and hateful words, especially when they're based on an outdated version of yourself. Why? Because not one part of you exists in the present, from your skeleton to the very cell structure of your being, this is why we have a past. The past version of ourselves and all attached to it are no longer relevant to our present. The past is called the past for a reason. Nothing and no one exists in the present timeline. It's now in illusion status… Been there and done that.  His complex message holds some serious empowerment for us. It's true that we are not defined by our past; people do that. Think about someone who did you wrong or committed a...

Namaste`, Y'all,  I've been having a slough of reoccurring thoughts around the topic of healing past wounds from relationships that I've released. What I've been finding is how intricately I was intertwined with the toxic pools they existed in. This has also provided me with deep wounds within my being that need to be healed and released. Sometimes our greatest lessons happen long after being removed from a situation, and as I grow older, I'm appreciating this fact of the human experience. Time will heal our old wounds if we allow it, and it certainly provides a new perspective. One of the advantages of being in this human experience is the ability to recall key life events and to look at them with a changed mind. Conscious awareness is a superpower we all have full access to and few engage with.  I came across a meme the other day about life lessons. It spoke on how life lessons are learned after going through a situation, and school lessons are for preparation. Ho...
