What is your perspective on life?

Because society right now is not well; collectively we are not well. I know so many people have this view of life like it’s shit, like it’s not worth it and people suck. Like, what is the use of going outside and trusting another human being when all you’re thinking about is how people suck and are evil and so many terrible things are going on in the world, and then when you do go outside you experience people sucking, which validates your thoughts; like yeah… this is why I don’t go out.

But, of course you would have that experience and perspective on life; of course you’d experience terrible things happening and examples of humans doing shitty ass things.

We attract what we focus on.

What we’re thinking about 24/7 that’s running through our brains... our beliefs are projected into reality. That’s how our brains work, that’s how life works. Individually, we are manifesting… we are basically making the thoughts in our head real… visual… whether subconscious or not, our beliefs become our reality.

Which, I immediately hear in my head, “So, you’re saying that someone who got raped, it’s their fault?”

No. That’s not what I’m saying at all.

But, I will say the fear that someone will live in constantly, the distrust that someone will live in 24/7; if you’re thinking about things like that, that have that dark, twisted energy, then yes, you’re going to attract dark, twisted things into your life.

For example, me.

For so long, years, decades of my life, I thought terrible things about myself, but I was also so fearful of other people, which then made me so cautious of letting anyone into my life and trusting someone else. And then I would have examples in my life validating that! Like, yeah, I am a fucking shit person who doesn’t deserve anything good; yeah, men are crap who only know how to take, take, take and hurt you; yeah, I was attracting friends who weren’t actually my friends but pretended to be for some benefit.

Those were the things I subconsciously believed because at such an early period of my life, at 5, 6, 7 years old, I had crappy experiences with people. But… I’m not saying my younger self wanted that to happen and was co-creating the reality of that happening; but I do believe there are things, experiences, diseases, thought patterns, and anything of that nature that can be familial and can stay in our DNA generation after generation after generation until one individual in the family line recognizes the patterns and changes the behavior.

On my maternal side, my grandmother, my mom, and I have all had terrible experiences with men. Emotionally, mentally, and physically. We’ve also had a dis-ease that’s stayed in our DNA; my grandmother had it, my mom has it, I have it, but I’m currently working on healing my body to get that shit out of our DNA and change that knot of energy… that hole of energy that’s dark.

Ah! Life is so interesting.

It’s so interesting, and I love to talk about these things with you. I love to think about life and experience life and then talk about it so other people understand life is purposeful. Life is so mysterious but worth the struggle. It really is. We are all here for a reason…

I know I’m jumping around, but this is how my brain works. So many thoughts going around at once I’m trying to catch them all and verbalize them, which is so hard for me to do. It feels like the only way I can get people to understand it is to know one of the fundamental things about life and this physical reality on Earth, which is this — one universal truth I 100% believe is that everything is made up of four elements: Air, Fire, Earth, Water. And a fifth element that’s not really talked about in Western culture: Ether. In my head, it’s like a combination of Air and Fire. It’s that energetic entity/being that animates us… it’s life! Pneuma.

But take that thought and know one of the basics of Astrology is: all the 12 Zodiac signs and their energy is representative of one of the four elements.

So for me, my Sun sign, the sign the Sun was at the moment I was born (the Sun is our energy, our vitality, it’s who we are, our core being), was in Libra. Libra is representative of the Air element. My Moon sign, the sign the Moon was at the moment I was born (the Moon represents our emotions, our digestion, our nourishment, our internal world and internal being), was also in Libra. Again, Libra is representative of the Air element. And then my Ascendant or Rising sign, the constellation that was on the eastern horizon the moment I was born (that represents our physical bodies and physical selves), was in Aquarius. Aquarius is also representative of the Air element. The Air element is airy, it’s light and electric and zapping around all over the place.

That is how my brain works. My brain is just la-de-da in the clouds, zipping around thinking about everything. All the goddamn time. So apologies if I’m all over the place.

But! To get back to what I was even talking about… Life is very purposeful. We are here for a reason. Especially if you are listening to me and this random podcast I started over a year ago, because why the fuck not? Like I said, I’m experiencing life and recording it. That’s one of the reasons I’m here: to observe life and be able to take the wisdom I learn and change someone else’s perspective on life so they experience the mysteries of life in a beautiful, fun, better way instead of focusing on the struggles of life.

Cause yeah, we all fucking struggle. There are so many different kinds of struggles in life, but I truly believe we all experience our own personal struggles for a reason. As we grow and age and experience more and more, we’re either learning the lessons and changing, or we stay stuck in a loop until we eventually realize and change our behavior.

So, if this podcast helps you get out of a terrible pattern and into a better, happier, healthier loop, then yay.

Yay.

Truly, life is worth the struggle. I know there are wars, and people die, and children suffer… I know those things happen, but they have to happen for love, community, trust, and beautiful things to exist as well (I'm not saying children deserve to struggle, either). Otherwise, life would be plain, boring, neutral, and nothing would change.

Just within the last 100 years, so many things have changed in life; which is what we’re supposed to do. We’re supposed to change. We have to learn and grow.

Knowledge is power.

There is so much knowledge that’s hidden from the collective; for instance, the fact that we’re powerful, amazing beings. Individually, but especially when we come together collectively. We move mountains when we come together collectively. We move mountains when we come to ourselves individually and understand our power.

Like I said, we co-create our reality, and if the majority of us are thinking terrible, negative things about life, then terrible, negative things are going to be the majority that goes on.

Life is worth it. But, it’s only worth it once you realize just how truly special you are. Once you start to truly embody who you are in this life, your role… because we all have roles. We all came here for a reason.

Look at your astrology.

I came here to be the catalyst of change for the better in this lifetime. I came here to be remembered. I came here to be a healer. So, that’s the reality I’m creating.

Man.

Life.

Beautiful life.

Keep in mind, it took me twenty-something years to come to this realization. I didn’t come out of the womb (knowingly) with this information. Again, knowledge is power; and these fucking people who have the knowledge and are purposefully hiding it from the collective will regret it. More and more people are understanding their power and using it for good. This is a time of great change but for the better.

I didn’t come here to lose, dude.

Nope.

In this lifetime, we’re winning.

Anywho…

Normally, I don’t talk about the theme song of the episode, but I think “Chained to the Rhythm” by Katy Perry captures what I’m talking about with this monotonous life we’re taught to live. We’re all chained to the rhythm of school, work, getting married, having children, retiring, dying.

But, I will be the broken link in this goddamn chain.

I’m dancing to my own rhythm of what I believe life is.

My rhythm is pretty fucking fun, I’ll say.
