1 Truth
Truth is a funny thing. It isn’t a permanent fixture. There are things we have claimed to be true throughout history until we discovered they weren’t. This law on truth is not exclusive to one subject over another. It has occurred time and time again in mathematics, science, history, psychology, medicine, and wellness-I could go on. Yet, I found it rather odd that one subject has yet to enter this universal understanding that truth can change. That of religion. In a room of upgraded and updated décor, religion has always been for me that old lounger that is out of place yet too comfortable to get rid of. These old loungers can hold a lot of nostalgia for us and let’s be honest most of us are too lazy, overworked, stressed to spend time trying out new chairs. So, if you were like me, you spent a many years’ letting that old lounger sit in your house and from time-to-time visit, seemed like the right thing to do.
What I learned is that if you practice anything in life you get better at it. It wasn’t just religion that was comfortable, it was my marriage, my mothering, my approach on prayer, it was the whole way I showed up in the world. I practiced being half. No, I practiced being a fraction of the person that I knew I was born as. I played small. I blamed and judged, fell back asleep and kept it all together with spoons of Nutella. I choose silence over embodied truth. I choose comfort over the expanding unknown. I did all of it and then I undid it.
When you make 200 knots in your true voice it can be quite a burden to open again. I cried so many tears I had to ice my eyes. I got a nasty sickness that humbly knocked me on my ass. My body finally retaliated and I had a choice. Own my stuff or die a soulless death. Dramatic, yet true.
This blog is that journey.

Dear ones let us take a journey. A journey into mystery, adventure, excitement to explore the great unknown of that which we called God, The One, O, Christ consciousness, universe, Gaia, Jesus, Yeshua, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, Sai Baba, Buddha, Shakti, Shiva, Atman, Light, as so on. Everyone is invited to this table not just those that subscribe to a certain denomination and both sides of the sexes will be represented. By looking at Spirit through all these lenses & costumes we get a more holographic experience. I believe we do ourselves an injustice by sitting in our same old loungers, propping up our feet and getting comfortable in our spirituality. How is it that most stories in religion has gone unchanged? Have we TRULY not discovered any information that would present a different version? What would happen if the very truths that for most of us have been embedded into our subconscious brain for generations would all the sudden shift? I think the very fear that holds most of us back from truly asking ourselves these questions is the same fear that wakes us up at night when we ponder death in the dark shadows of our bedrooms.
The only thing scarier than knowing something to be true is knowing that we may NOT KNOW everything and that scares the shit out of us.
