Growing up there was a very clear cut version of who I “should be” carved out for me. Now I’m not blaming family or community here — they were also told at young ages who they “should be” and many people tend to accept those “shoulds” in a lot of ways. No judgment here, it simply is what is. As young humans, we just don’t know better much of the time. For me, something felt, off. These shoulds felt so restrictive and deep inside me I felt a freedom that wanted to be expressed. The Freedom to be what felt like “Me” in any given moment. And of course that is always changing... But due to the outside pressure, I conformed. Over, and over, and over again 😑 I told that Inner Freedom -- “No, you are not allowed to be expressed, it is not safe. You will be rejected for sure. And rejection feels like the end — the end of being loved 💔 You will lose love if you express this sense of aliveness, curiosity, expression, and freedom.” (I know this all feels heavy but it gets better, much better 😇) In my 30th year on Earth my heart led me away from everything I had ever known and I began anew in the city of Los Angeles 🌴 Here, I saw so many people showing up in a way that felt like, themselves 🤗 There was so much diversity and it felt like there was some level of freedom, in terms of of expression, everywhere ✨ This encouraged me in a lot of ways 🙌 In the past six years I’ve come to peace with many things,
What would be referred to as “me” is an ever-evolving aspect of Consciousness ✨ I’m okay with the ever-evolving nature of my consciousness and with that okay-ness I don’t need to define “myself” like I used to. Today, I Am the Way that I Am. Tomorrow it could change... But it wouldn’t change based on what other people are telling me to be — it would change based on something I Am feeling within. A natural and spontaneous change that can only come from being in touch with my heart ❤️ This is how I Am living life now — more and more with my heart 🙂 And my heart speaks a different language than the one I learned growing up 📖 It speaks the language of Freedom — and Freedom doesn’t feel the need to conform 🙏✨ Should you like to ask any questions about what I’ve shared here, please feel free to send me a message 📬🙂

There’s a variety of feelings I never wanted to feel 👇 (In years past…) When my infant brother passed away — didn’t want to feel the grief… When I got divorced -- didn’t want to feel the heartbreak… When I had someone once tell me I was, “too much,” didn’t want to feel that either 😞 On some days… I would just feel low, On others I’d feel uninspired or hopeless ☁️ I used to run away from all of those feelings — they felt terrible so I’d do everything I could to avoid them🙅🏻♂️ Then I discovered some really great teachers 📚 It started with Anthony Meindl and then that led me to Eckhart Tolle — and from there I discovered so many more 🙂 They taught me about my emotions — something I didn’t really know I could learn that much about. I read things like, “emotions are visitors and they’re here to teach us something.” And of course the longtime truth, “what you resist, persists.” 🔁 It’s been quite the journey and six years later I now, Allow Myself to Feel 🙏 I allow myself to feel the ups, the downs, and everything in between ⬆️⬇️ Not to say it’s always easy — because many times it’s not. But allowing has done so much more than resisting ever did. Things move through me now more quickly ➡️ I don’t get stuck in unpleasant emotional waters (for months at a time) like I used to 🌊 If sadness comes, I let it do it’s thing, key words LET IT, and then it leaves 👋 In doing so, I find my way back to feeling centered again (more easily), And be centered is where I like to be 👍 It’s home 🏡 If you’re having a tough time right now, I feel for you. I really do 🙏 Please know that if I can work through and understand my emotions better — I truly believe you can too 👏 It’s a process for sure — and it’s one of the most worthwhile investments I’ve ever made. To make the time to learn to work through my pain ⌛️ I’m stronger now and most importantly I understand what emotions are here to do… They’re here to help guide us — that’s right. They’re here to help guide me and they’re hear to help guide you 🙏✨ P.S. If you’d like to know more about my journey, please feel free to send me a message today 📧👍 6-7 Years ago my mind was a mess. I worried, I stressed, I often feared what the future might bring... It wasn't easy 😔 To give some context, I had experienced a few traumatic events early in Life, which in hindsight, I can see caused me to stop trusting Life. One of the events I speak of was losing an infant brother of mine in a car accident when I was only 13. Yes, this shook me pretty good. Fear of, "what other bad things could happen in Life" began to invade my mind. This became the a pretty strong foothold in my consciousness for the next 20 years or so. Fear of the Future. Fear of loss, fear of suffering, fear of not being in "control." As I continue to write more blogs I'll dive into what I've begun to learn from those 20-years + what I've learned since I've been able to experience more Freedom from My Mind -- and therefore Fear of the Future. The Turning Point The book, A New Earth, was a huge turning point for me. It came into this Life (for me) not too long after I had listened to, The Power of Now, a few times. Both are authored by Eckhart Tolle. Since discovering these two books I have returned to them many, many times. In fact, I'm re-listening to A New Earth again right now. These books are what I would call a "download" from Higher Consciousness. It is my experience that there are many layers to consciousness in the Universe and what we call "the Human Mind" is still a very primitive one. I know some might argue that we are very "intelligent" compared to other life-forms on Earth yet I am speaking to all levels of consciousness throughout the entire Universe (and beyond). These books from Eckhart, among many others, are gifts to humanity from the Great Love Intelligence that holds together each and every world. How do I know this? Because of how they've helped me connect more deeply with that Higher Form of Consciousness. I've experienced, • more peace (from my mind) • less stress (from reacting to Life events) • an ability to notice and access a Peaceful Place within me • a deeper connection with All of Life (forests, plants, animals, etc.) To many this is called the process of Spiritual Awakening. To recognize that we, as humans, are Life and are therefore interconnected and interdependent on every other aspect of Life on this Planet 🌍 Furthermore, it is a deeply intrinsic sense that we are much more than these bodies. That there is a non-physical aspect to us that provides these bodies with, Life. Energy that animates us, if you will. Some may call this, Spirit ✨ Recognizing and accessing the spiritual has been a key part in me finding a greater sense of peace in the physical -- the human body. This is not something I can keep to myself 🙂 Many are Ready to Remember Who We Are While some may not be open to or ready for these books, from Eckhart, I can feel deeply that many are. More than ever, citizens of Earth are craving freedom from the limitations of the mind. I invite you to do a bit of research on these books. See if they call to you? If they do, I'd love to hear about it 🎉 Leave a comment or send me a message, whatever works best! Thank you for reading this blog and I hope to have you back to read many more 🙏 In Kindness & Love, Timothy
