25 Things I Know to Be True About Myself...

On the Path... [View in Web Browser]( [Access your FREE 15-minute insight call]( Hi {NAME}, A crazy and amazing week for me here at the home front as my wife is out of town on a business trip, and my youngest son’s 11th birthday was the other day. I love my family! In 2016 after having spent an intense five plus years working with the plant medicines yagé and iboga I was at a crossroads. I had been given the opportunity to spend many months in the jungles of the Amazon and Western Africa to deepen my training, and I very much wanted to do so. But I had a wife, and three young children, ages 12, 8 and 4. They needed me, and furthering my studies would have meant leaving them behind both physically and emotionally for very long periods of time. I struggled with the decision for many months. I didn't clearly understand what was right for ME. So, I consulted both of the medicines in very intense ceremonies to ask which path I should pursue, and received very clear direction. If you are uncertain of who you are, what you want, and what matters most to you, life can be very difficult. You feel like a leaf in the wind, always doing more for others than you do for yourself, hinging your happiness on the happiness of others. This is why when working with clients I often ask them to take a deep look at their own unique nature. What makes you you? What inspires you and what turns you off? What do you struggle with, and what comes easy for you? There’s a deep need today to really understand yourself, because the forces of mind control, propaganda, and coercion are constantly worming their way into your head and nudging you to be someone you are not. We see it in advertisements that tell women their bodies need to look differently. We see it in promotions for men that tell them they need to make love like porn stars. We see it coming at us from the highest levels of the establishment, which wants us to turn our bodies over to their authority in the name of public safety. When you don’t know what’s right for you, you will feel lost and without purpose. You will be stuck.

The pro is that when I participate, it is deeply fulfilling because I know I am wanted and appreciated. The con is that I sometimes watch things pass by me in life without going after what I really want. - The main way in which I self-sabotage these days is by being inconsistent in my work. - I will do anything to assist someone I love, and I love almost anyone. - I can get my feelings hurt easily by people I love, and it can take me days, or even weeks, sometimes to recover. This is THE reason why I focus on emotional self-mastery and emotional sobriety with my clients. - My love language is physical touch. - I absolutely must get regular rigorous physical exercise. My entire well-being depends on it. - I despise small-talk and superficiality, but I can be very good at it when required. Real talk is where it’s at for me. - I must be careful with what I eat in order to avoid feeling cloudy or foggy. - I very much enjoy many things which are ‘bad’ for me, which is annoying. LOL. - I do not trust the ‘authorities’ in this world. To me they are just lost souls in elaborate costumes. - It is easy for me to get distracted, lose focus, or attempt to multitask, but my best work comes when I tune out everything else. - I often settle for less. I tell myself that it's out of humility or stubbornness, but the truth is that it's a subconscious program of not feeling worthy or good enough. - The thing I am most passionate about and most interested in is shamanic plant medicines and their ability to heal and help people. - When I find something that interest me, I am ALL IN. So much so that it has created problems in relationships in the past. - I am incredibly honest and forthright, almost to a fault, as a lot of people cannot handle it. - I am drawn toward the darkness within myself. It is utterly fascinating to me, and I still have a good deal of work to do in integrating this side of me into the whole man I know I can be. - I am perfectly happy being totally by myself for long periods of time. - I am deeply empathic in the sense that I feel others’ pain and find joy in being of their experience and healing. - It is easy for me to take in too much of the pain of others’ in an effort to assist them, and when I do it is easy for me to turn negative and dark. - I recover from absorbing others negativity by taking time for myself, practicing kung fu and qi gong, meditating alone, and listening to reggae music. - I have a tendency to not stand my ground when it comes to relationships with people I love. This is out of a deep-seated fear of abandonment that I internalized at a very young age. This is something I am consciously working on at this stage in my life. - I am insanely passionate about personal growth and the work of assisting others in their journey of evolution. - If I don’t consistently do the work of ‘letting go’ of the emotions of anxiety, fear, and doubt, I become moody, broody, and needy, and when I'm like that I don't even like to be around me. - My energetic character is surprisingly yin, although I am a rather big, tough, bad ass dude. To be happy with myself I have to intentionally practice bringing yang energy into my everyday life. - I have been running the ’self-abuse’ program for most of my life, and therefore must be very mindful when I catch myself wandering down that path again, which is easy for me to do. Plant medicines help me to understand this and to value caring for myself. During the ceremonies in 2016 when I was seeking guidance, both of the plant medicines told me unequivocally that my place at that stage in my life was to be with my family and to give them as much attention and love as possible. So, without hesitation I temporarily disconnected from medicine work and put all of that on hold. Now, six years later I feel myself being pulled very strongly back towards that work, and am feeling deeply inspired these days. I ask you, what is in your nature, and how well do you know yourself?
