Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Welcome to synchronicity, SKU's the absence last week. What's the schedule anyway? There was a bonus episode, I would like to point that out. But you know, regular podcasting in 2024, that's cool, it's a vibe, it's a thing. There's so many podcasts now too. There's like, there's always more and more and more. I was, I saw on TikTok, there was a podcast talking about how like, you know, in the 70s, like you could know all of the bands. Oh, you know, couldn't know. But like, there was a finite amount of music you basically had immediate access to, right? Like there were the hot bands that were for whatever type of music, or you could know all of them.

You could be like, I am aware of all of the bands making this type of music right now. It's how novel kind of music was at that point. Now clearly that throughout history, there's always gonna be that, right? There's great composers and you know, you go see all the legendary ones, if that's in your era, you go see the, I'm just saying now you have access to everything that's there and everything before and it's immediately accessible, it's a lot. It's a vibe, it's a thing. We're dealing with all of that subconsciously, by the way. Just that sheer access to information, data, energy, it's a lot and no wonder, you know, you can feel overwhelmed at time.

It was certainly a vibe for parts of 2024. I think, you know, overall I would say that my read, the downloads, if you will, about 2024 seemed to be a self-fulfilling prophecy at worst and just an accurate interpretation of how linear time is unfolding at best. It's up and down, but I think overall pretty good. It's a shift, at least there's movement. Even if it's chaotic movement at time, at least there's things are moving and I think that's, you know, better than just being stuck at home during like virus times. That was weird, remember we did that? I'm sure that was good for mental health and overall wellbeing too, that was pretty great.

So don't know where it's coming from or when it's coming, but it's coming. That's kind of the vibe we are learning to catch again or catch for the first time. It's when you kind of have that spontaneous element of gratitude because you know something is, and it doesn't have to do with time. I mean, it does because obviously if you're moving through it and it's not physically in front of your face, you're gonna perceive that as a gap in time until it appears, but the knowingness that it's coming is independent of time. And that's the mechanism that kind of reveals or like projects that thing onto the screen of reality.

That's important to remember and I understand that sometimes that's not easy to feel yourself into. That's why we practice, that's why we do things that help us remind ourselves that that is possible. And it's also how we learn, I think, what is a very valuable lesson and an ongoing one in my life for sure, how to just kind of get more and more graceful and elegant. And if you're starting from a place like me where you're very inelegant and quite of aspects of dealing with reality, then you get to see the progress for sure. So we can be grateful for that at least, but that does seem to be kind of a large part of living is recognizing that independent of circumstance, there's a level of kind of awareness and approach you can bring to it that doesn't take away challenging experiences, but flips the script a little bit or allows you to perceive the script being flipped.

Easy for me to say. Man, it's just, you know, this energy, this year, I think is going to be very much two steps forward, one step back at times. I think that's just gonna be a lot of people's perception of it, but the step back sometimes feels like going the wrong direction. And it's not, you are actually making progress in a lot of areas. It's just such a nebulous and uncertain time. And if collectively, you believe in the idea of a collective unconscious, you know, people are processing that. No, wait, there are these wooly caterpillar infestations in upstate New York. I assume it's parts of the East Coast.

It's this invasive species that I guess this guy was trying to like bring over silk worms at some point. I don't know when it was in the '70s, '60s and like brought over with these caterpillars that allegedly would make silk because they hang from trees, but it got out of control and he introduced this fucking species of caterpillar that is now like, kind of like cicadas every, like there's times where it's just like an explosion in population. That's what's going on now, which is fine, you know? It's these little caterpillars, no big deal, except these things. And I didn't believe it at first.

We'll give you like a histamine itch from their hairs on them. And they're super small to begin with. And then they get big and then they turn into moths and it's like super annoying. But anyway, I got, I started getting like an allergic reaction and I don't really get rashes, but I must have had some of this stuff on clothes or somewhere I had sat and totally getting an itchy rash. And it sucks. There's few things worth than an itchy rash. I mean, there are many things worse, let's be honest. Like most things are worse. But it's annoying, you know what I mean? Anyway, I digress. That's what, oh, by the way, I announced this on the Patreon, I think free tier and on the bonus episode.

I don't know if I did it on the public episodes, but we're doing Mystic of the Month starting in May. I'm probably going to record this at some point next week before I go to Turkey, which is going to be May 20th to like June 11th. Probably put out an episode or two of this there. If you want to stay connected in audio form and whatnot, then the Patreon is the best place to do that. But the Mystic of the Month, I'm actually really excited about. I may turn this into like a just a separate extension of synchronicity because it feels like it could be a pretty cool vehicle for stuff. Or basically, we're just going to focus on one person.

Each month, this is the first month. We'll see how it goes. I think the first installment is going to be just like a long form breakdown and kind of interpretation of a Mystic. For the month of May 2024, we're doing Millarepa, who is a Tibetan Yogi Mystic Buddha, right? And one of my favorites and also just like a very, I think, accessible archetype for a lot of people. And so we'll be talking about him and kind of his views. Also the intersection of like the imaginal stuff and Buddhism. Like there's, you know, seemingly a conflict in terms of desire being something to be eliminated and ceased in most forms of Buddhism.

And especially from Neville Goddard's interpretation and especially a Christian Mystic or new thought perspective, desire is a vehicle. It's something that will allow you to see the nature of the Godhead. And so looking at that intersection and seeing how mystics throughout time kind of are saying the same thing, even if the semantics or even seemingly big sticking points may exist. All of them are kind of saying, they are saying the same thing. So that's what we're gonna be doing in May. You can sign up for that. I think that's the $7 tier. I don't think that's what it's gonna be. The $7 tier for the Mystic of the month.

And then I think in the future, I'm just not like committing to anything too crazy over the summer 'cause my travel plans are fucking nuts. Like I, it's insane how many flights, international flights I'm taking this year gonna be in Turkey, in Germany, in Italy, it's a thing. It's like basically like being on tour minus the actual doing the tour stuff or anything. But you know, I think after that, we may turn it into like a more like weekly discussion on the live streams. We'll talk about it, but just kind of like fleshing it out into multiple parts. But I think, you know, initially we'll do at least like an hour on each Mystic.

And Mystic is vague, right? That can be a musician, someone like Miller Repa, it could be anything. So I like the format and it also, it also gives me a great excuse to like delve back into or into various thinkers, philosophers, mystics, which is always a good thing to do. Just as like a general practice, something that really helps, even if it's just an audio book or just like listening to people talk about divinity or luminosity or a philosophical structure that resonates with you or metaphysical structure is good to do. It's like a vibratory frequency that aligns you with that or it can repel you, it doesn't have to be.

But you know, there's, I feel like there are at least subtle, if not overt benefits from doing that. So if that's something you've not done or have fallen out of practice with, maybe give that another shot, okay? The shift from perceiving challenging situations as like harbingers of doom to potentially exciting opportunities, like appreciate that because it's not always a mindset that we naturally fall into. When the shit hits the fan, when things feel like they're not working, when you're having a hard time, when maybe things have gotten out of control, when you're overwhelmed, it's really easy to perceive everything is like, okay, here comes the shitstorm again.

It's very easy to fall into that pattern, thereby perpetuating the shitstorm, which is the rub. And it's very annoying that it works like that, you know? Why do we have to be the ones who kind of pull ourselves out of that? Why can't someone else do it? And sometimes we do get that benefit of like community or another person or support system or like a creative endeavor pulling you out or help getting, extending a hand out of kind of a metaphysical rut, but something inside job, like truthfully, that is kind of how it works. And it can be annoying that that's how it works. Let's not be, let's not kid ourselves.

It can suck. It's like, why do we have to do this ourselves again? Why do we have to believe these things? Because that's precisely kind of the process of what's going on. You are yourself God waking up as yourself, right? It's like that's the process of living. We could say loosely the process of dying or letting go of an aspect of your physical form and then maybe an astro form. And however many layers of consciousness you wanna look at it is the returning of that process. So you merging into the Godhead, right? And the reverse process of that is God kind of going into you, right? Which is you are the same.

Does this make sense? Yeah, I think it makes sense. This used to be insane talk, by the way. Now, it's also really interesting to like see how this stuff evolves through time. And I, you know, it's just, this used to be, this was like really weird stuff that people did not wanna hear about. And now people, not that everyone wants to hear about this now, but it seems to be more accepted. Which unfortunately makes me not like it. When it's too, when there's too much of it. It's like, all right, let's pull back. Let's be more conventional. Oh, that never really works for me. So I will say this, like don't necessarily expect your desires or your wish or your feelings that you have kind of like really felt and either use an imaginal technique to happen overnight.

And I think overnight is the key part of this, right? This gets into the question of time and a technique, right? And we perceive time as linearly when we're moving through it. Now, when we go retrospectively in our imaginations or just our memories, we are going back in time, right? That is something that's happening. Even if you're just like, well, it's just a recollection. You're not really doing that. No, but you are. That's where your consciousness is located at that point. So when you're looking back there, that is a form of time travel. That's why the revision techniques can be really, you know, worthwhile because you kind of loosen up energy that seemingly is anchored in the past, which then affects your present, which can then also affect your future outlook.

So that's why the revision techniques, I think, are some of the most powerful that you can do. And just generally good for challenging situations that may have happened in the past. So you don't feel defined by a particular narrative, right? But this idea that things have to happen on your timeline, that's not really what it's about. It's like when you firmly accept that it has happened or it feels like that, and maybe circumstances help you believe that. Maybe that's just something that's true. I think you will find there are periods where you recognize it's working the other way though, where like your internal conviction and belief and expectancy created the conditions that allowed you to believe seemingly, seemingly rather than the conditions allowing you to believe the thing in and of themselves.

Do you know what I mean? It works with ways, but I mean, it does, I think when you catch on to that active mechanism, that operative power, then you have a chance to play around and experiment. And that's where I think this stuff gets interesting. It's aligning that with kind of a framework. I hesitate to call it moral framework, although morality and morals and ethics are certainly a part of it, but it's like a multi-perspectival view on the nature of existence and kind of non-existence that really makes that a profound realization. And sometimes you just glimpse it. Sometimes you take some acid or you go too far in a K-hole and you glimpse it or you smoke some DMT or whatever it is or you meditate super good and super long.

Sometimes you get glimpses of it, right? That's a Tory experience of like, "Oh wow, there it is." But to dwell in that space is a big choice and I don't think most people are alive or perceiving things in physical reality to do that. Do you know what I mean? Like then you're kind of like, that could be your thing, but that's probably not why you're here. You're probably here to experience stuff. Otherwise, what would we be doing truthfully? Like what, like what actually? It's also like weird. Sometimes your brain will just be like, "Hey, let's make crippling self-outgrade again." That's, you know, something we're gonna be doing right now.

And I understand that like, we can't always recognize when that's gonna happen. When you notice you're kind of doing that thing where you're letting either paranoia or doubt or fear or worry or anxiety, run your, steer your ship, you just gotta be like, you chill out, chill out brain. What's going on mind? Can we tone it down just a little bit? There's a gentleness in the same way you'd be gentle with like a child and don't get me wrong when your kids are going ape shit and you know, you will lose it with them once in a while, but you on the whole, I would hope, are gentle with children because you understand that they are new to experiences.

The same kind of gentleness, if you can extend that to yourself when you are being harsh on yourself. And harsh doesn't just mean mean, right? It can mean worrying a lot, you know, just kind of obsessing about things in a way that doesn't feel productive. It doesn't have to be like an element of meanness or intent of malice there. It can just be giving yourself hard time, making sticky situations for yourself that you don't necessarily wanna be in, "Yeah, I was thinking a little bit easy." That's how you navigate, I think, turbulence in your own life and mind, like most gracefully, that's the way to kind of do it, which is not always easy, like, especially if you kind of allow yourself to get influenced by stuff going on in the world.

And we all do this, right? And we know this is going on right now. We're gearing up for the political stuff in the United States there. I just saw that RFK said he had a dead worm in his brain that ate his brain at some point. They're really putting out the crazy stories of RFK. And maybe he said that, I don't know, that seems weird. But like, they really, I'm not voting as I normally do not because I believe that the political system is essentially a stage to theater thing. And it's not a conspiracy. It's just like, if you can find out where your vote is really counting, it's probably not at the presidential level.

But, you know, say you are in a swing state and you are in a county that really kind of has an influence of where your state is short. It's a case to be made that you should be voting for people you believe in. It's just who the fuck really cares at this point. It's Trump or Biden. It's like a replay. Everything's been said about it. There's nothing else to say about it. Anyway, that's a thing that's going on. You got the Israel-Palestine thing. I spoke about this on the Patreon. I learned to gate by opinions on things like that behind there. But, you know, there's a lot of stuff that's vying for your attention, right?

We got Kendrick and Drake going at it. I gotta say the BBL Drizzy Beat though, but the original artist is King Mullonius and then Metro Boomin's remix of it was stuck in my head for like a solid day. It's just, it's well done. It's good stuff. But Kendrick and, you know, and then the weekend is doing, there's a lot of shit out there kind of pulling your attention and then whatever else is going on. That's just like the main, I feel like that's the main stuff that they show on my feeds. You may be hyper-neached into some weird, I don't know, it could be furries. Could be like some furry, you know, crazy situation, you know, on Reddit where like these furries did this thing that's against the furries policy.

And furries aren't even that weird anymore. There's probably way weirder shit that I have no idea about because I don't know where to go to find the weird stuff anymore that, you know, people were doing. It's a weird, wild place out there. And that's okay. But for yourself, trying to kind of set the compass of your direction right now feels important. It feels like having some arrow for you to traverse through time, at least guided by your feelings. And it doesn't always have to be what feels good, but by something you deeply care about pointing your arrow in that direction is the first step, right?

And that's kind of where I just think the desire comes in. And I've thought about this a lot. Listen, I just listened to the whole life of Milarepa, you know, you know, reading the hundred thousand songs of Milarepa. This is like real deal Buddhist perspectives about the nature of, you know, emptiness and luminosity and these big concepts of grasping and aversion and, you know, how this life is illusory and any clinging to it is bound to bring suffering. And there's a lot of truth in a lot of those things, but desire is viewed as something that's going to be stamped out. We're going to save it from the Milarepa stuff, but just to kind of link them, desire also like, are you going to stamp that out in your life?

Are you going to be the person who will be unaffected by any relationship you have personally, because you fundamentally see it as like this passing illusion? Is that going to be your experience and your true experience of it? If that's your goal, go for it, you know? Go eat, survive on nettles like Milarepa, but as an archetype or an energy to kind of look up to how to exist in the world to me seems to involve some aspect of desire. Now those desires can be the desire for, you know, realization, it can be the desire for world peace, it can be the desire for harmony or for your actions to be an extension of unconditional love and the truest and best version of yourself, whatever that means to you.

And also it could be a version that's accepting of all things in the world, right? But it could also just be like, I want that fancy fucking car. Now, does the fancy fucking car, is there anything wrong with it per se? No, it's actually an aspect of God consciousness, just like anything else. Is that fancy fucking car going to solve all your problems? No, but it might solve your fancy fucking car problems. So it's just, there are levels of desire that I think are important to flesh out and even if all are eventually illusory because this world, much like a dream, is fleeting. We've stretched out the time kind of incomprehensibly long from like a single point.

It's like stretching a point on a piece of paper and like going two dimensionally and expanding it out to three and four dimensions and the fourth dimension being that extension of time through a period, that's kind of what we're going through. It's like a very, we perceive it as fast. Things are fast, we've measured it in milliseconds and nano say look how fast this thing is moving, this time, but really it's quite slow. Like this is a pretty dense physical plane. Now, a lot of what I think is going on right now just intuitively and what downloads have been coming to me is there is a process of recognizing when energy tends to get stuck, not just in your physical body, but your etheric feel, whatever you wanna call it, your aura, your spiritual body, your astral, all of these different things.

Allowing that to pass through or having a way to get that energy out is incredibly important. The more energy and the more kind of stuff that you don't allow to kind of filter through, I think that's when we start dealing with anything ranging from physical issues to emotional issues to reality, being very weird, there's just like stuff that can happen. So developing some type of protocol for flushing that energy, like, you know, it doesn't have to be a colonic, it could just be like clean eating equivalent of energy work. I think is people are becoming more aware of because I think the uncomfortable moments of not processing energy are almost becoming unbearable for people and I think this is also, you see this with like the polarities of sides, like the binary, like, four and against.

It's like, it's just digging in and making things more and more dense with less and less nuance and wiggle room and that doesn't really work for people. It's not how we're built. You can do that as a way to kind of get yourself through life and time, but from a fulfilling standpoint, like that pattern probably isn't going to satisfy you for the duration of a human life, which is, you know, it can be very short, so maybe it can. My point is, is that the ability to clear and first become aware, then process, then clear energy, it sounds so woo, but it isn't as woo as it actually is, right? For some people, this is therapy and just talk therapy where you're getting the stuff out, kind of just like, you know, like, it's a cathartic process for people.

Now, whether that process actually helps alleviate in the long run, who knows, but that's also what a lot of spiritual plot processes are as well, they're not going to fully eliminate. Like, they're not the thing that eliminates a problem because that's not actually what's going on. It's not good or bad. It's not only give me that. The problems, you know, are huge opportunities for growth and insight. That's challenges bring those kind of elements with them. A life of stability and comfort and ease usually is not going to bring profound, transcendent opportunities for growth. It can, it certainly can.

I'm not implying that it can't, but those situations where things work a little bit differently than they have before or how we thought they would, that's like, that's where you actually, you know, level up in a way, until you level down. Anyway, my point is is that you, this process that we are going through now has a lot to do with allowing things not to accumulate like plaque on arteries in like our spiritual, physical, mental, emotional fields. That seems to be a big lesson that's, because that, and that makes sense, right? If we are moving towards a collective world where we're trying to be authentic, compassionate, wise versions of ourselves, there would need to be a element of sensitivity.

And initially, when you become more sensitive to something, you can perceive it as pain or an itch or something like that, and you've just become more sensitive to it. Now you don't want to become so sensitive that everything rubs you the wrong way, but then maybe you develop ways to kind of deal with that. I find it very interesting. This year, I don't seem to have allergies outside of these caterpillars. It's just reserved for that. But usually I get blasted with allergies, and I've noticed this at different points in my life, where sometimes I was allergic to cats, and you could say, oh, it's based on your diet, it's based on your, you know, who knows?

Whatever it is, okay? That's not for me to kind of figure out at this point, because sometimes there's no discernible changes in my behavior outside of my mood, and my kind of outlook and perception on things. And it's like the girl who was singing about how she cured her liver disease on TikTok. I think her name was Shannon Blake, and Blake. And she was, you know, she's kind of annoying in like a caricature of like a hippie, Zoomer, you know, DMT, trimmed out, you know, whatever you want to call it. But there's truth and there's elements to being able to heal your body and heal various aspects of yourself through alternative means that maybe don't make conventional scientific or medical sense.

Do you think I, you should just issue those things and throw them away? Like from day one? No, maybe work yourself to that point. Maybe work with and see how easy it is for you to believe new paradigms of thinking, new ways of perceiving things. If you are very skeptical and need a ton of kind of evidence and proof, maybe don't make the leap from saying, I don't need to take medicine ever again. You know, maybe you don't do that. Maybe kind of, you know, work your way up to that. And a lot of what we're going through is working our way up to various levels of realization. And that's what 2024 is.

I gotta say the shift from the end of Mercury retrograde, which was towards the end of April, it was like the 24th or the 25th of April, was a big shift in energy for me in the positive. Just automatically just felt more physically motivated, emotionally, psychologically, just energy levels started to get better. And, you know, I don't know if that's the way it is for everyone, but that felt like a big kind of pivot point. And appreciate those things. One thing I've learned to do, especially as I get like older, is appreciate when things are going well. And just be like, shit, this is, you know, I remember when things weren't, didn't feel this great, didn't feel this great, no?

Just appreciate it when you're in that. It helps sustain it. That gratitude you have for that will certainly extend the half-life of whatever you are transiently moving through in reality. Was there anything else I needed to say? I've made my schedule known for this podcast. Listen, three, four episodes. I'm, one thing that I have, I'm curious for you too. One thing I've noticed is that I am less rigidly attached to creative schedules. I'm allowing space in between, you know, episodes and just things that I'm doing creatively without judging that. I think if you try to rigidly again stick to a thing, this year it's gonna be like kind of frustrating.

Doesn't mean there's not a time and place for that. I certainly was pumping out a ton of these episodes, but like being in tune with that, I've spoken about red light and green light energy before, being in tune with that is going to be your friend, especially for this year and could be 25, 26, 27, too. There's a lot of oscillations going on right now, so allow yourself to kind of move into the things and experience the things you're supposed to. I can speak from recent experience, sometimes doing less or different things that may not seem specifically related to your goal or your desire can yield wonderful results.

Sometimes focusing too much on something has a repellent force, especially if you notice kind of your mental diet or your mood at that time is maybe not in the best place. Maybe don't focus on the thing that's really important to you when you're in that state. Something I spoke about in the bonus episode last week was like using negative quote unquote negative feelings or ideas as a tool to lead you towards a desired outcome. Not everything that leads to the thing appearing in your reality is going to be happy, amazing, you could be frustrated at times. An amazing thing can happen and you could be frustrated on the way to do it.

You could be on the way to your favorite roller coaster ride ever and you've heard it's the best thing ever and you love roller coasters, but then there's a line to get to the roller coaster and you're frustrated and you're impatient. Doesn't mean the roller coaster ride is going to be any less thrilling and amazing and cool and awesome, but you had a level of impatience leading up to it. You can have impatience leading up to your outcomes, to your desires, to your experiences, to your feelings. That's okay. It does not have to be a positive mental attitude, does not mean you have to be some dumb, navel gazing, kind of like semi R word.

I get in trouble every time I say the R word on this podcast. I think because people think that they're like, "I have a greater sensitivity to the power of words than I do," but I am doing that for the people who have complained. I will probably use that word at other times. It is not meant to be disparaging in any way and I understand why some people feel that it is, especially for people who have that kind of, have dealt with that in their personal lives, but it's never meant pejoratively and I hope we can get to a point where we understand that. Yes, privilege is a thing, but also allowing people to express themselves in a way that is not meant to cause harm, but that's a judgment for everyone to make, you know, who hears and perceives something.

But anyway, I forgot the point I was making. Whatever I was saying, that was the point for it. That would be the best podcast ever. Someone who had just like a memento short-term amnesia and couldn't remember any of the points that they were making. It's also called smoking weed sometimes. And they were just like, that's the point. Whatever I said, that's what it was. It could be something horrible about genocide and some horrible belief and it's like, that's the point in a minute, but I don't think that's what it was. Anyway, I think by the time I start forgetting what I was talking about, we're nearing the end of the episode.

Patreon is the best place to be to stay connected. That's patreon.com/synchronicity. Is there anything else going on? We have a live stream next week before I go. I'm not gonna be in the boat the first month in Turkey, so internet should be normal. Later in the year when I go in July and August, it gets shakes, it gets weird. But I'll also be traveling all over the place. I'll do live reports from exotic locales as evidence that this stuff works. Just be grateful for also what, for also what? For what's around you, like just try. Your life is probably better than you think it is when you're not feeling great, you know?

And if you go through those moments, just find what you need to do. It can be anything at all. I do recommend for those who wanna follow along, grab the life of Milarepa. It's really worthwhile. It was written in the 15th century, so like 400 years or so after Milarepa was born and existed. But it's considered kind of like a weird biography, semi-autobiography, 'cause the guy who wrote it thought he was an incarnation of Milarepa. Really cool, it's cool. One of Milarepa's best quotes is he said that anyone who said that Milarepa loved gold, maybe they have shit in their mouth, which is like it's pretty hard stance on gold.

But the point is is that all of the gold, all of the silver, all of the world's riches are meaningless in the face of true Dharma or realization or the path or like a Buddha perspective on the true nature of reality, which is not to be like an elitist standpoint, but when you recognize kind of what conditional relative reality exists compared to absolute reality, gold would be pretty meaningless. Doesn't mean you shouldn't use, like I use gold, you have fun with money. I do crypto stuff, it's fun. Just don't get so caught up on it that you love it. Still deal with it. Anyway, cool stuff. All right guys, I'll see you next week, maybe bye bye.
