I came with nothing, I will leave with nothing. So what is mine?

Your emotions are teachers, listen to them, and stop suppressing them. When something doesn’t feel right. Ask “what is this trying to teach me?” Every emotion brings good news, even the ones that are painful. They are guiding you, and telling you how to break out of the pattern. - The Oracle Reads U

Nick, you do know, of course, why you’re here don’t you?
Because you couldn’t resist the challenge!
Nothing in all creation, not in any sphere of the universe, compares to being born into time and space without any recollection of your past. Having to find your own way when lost, your own courage when frightened, and the infinite powers at your disposal when challenged. Left to the elements to rediscover your supremacy over them.
Driven by your passions so that you might rise above your humble, naked beginnings and ultimately see through the illusions that have trapped you. To find yourself once again high upon the throne of thy Kingdom come, from whence it all began.
— Walking on sunshine, The Universe

Live Fearless, Not Reckless.

~ The best way to win over anger is silence.~


~ When it comes to self-improvement, you underestimate the role of self and overestimate the role of books. ~

When you operate at a higher frequency you trigger a lot of people. The path of connecting with your higher self means the path of being a mirror. You show people what they have been running away from, and they get offended, because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.

Nick, one hundred years from now, it will not matter what was in your bank account, what kind of car you drove, or what style of home you lived in.

On the other hand, since one of the reasons you’re in time and space is to understand that you do, indeed, have dominion over all things... nailing these early on would be way cool.

When you are getting yourself together and evolving to a higher self, the road seems lonely but you’re simply shedding the energies that no longer match the frequency of your destiny. Choose growth over company. Choose courage over comfort. Give yourself the chance to excel.

The 2nd of 7 Laws of Mirrors of the Essenes is that you attract what you judge. This means focused judgement on things that you have a bias against creates a stronger energy cord and magnetic pull towards them. This is why I always reject the idea, “you are what you attract”. - Maryamhasnaa

Manifesting doesn’t just work sometimes, Nick.
Which is pretty much the only “lesson” you have to learn.

7 Essene Mirrors: Taken from Here

www.CrashBell.Com

THE 1ST AND 2ND ESSENE MIRRORS OF RELATIONSHIPS:

FIRST MIRROR: shows my presence in the moment… what we reflect by others in the moment. What we are radiating in the moment.

SECOND MIRROR: similar quality, but more subtle: mirrors to us that which we judge in the moment.

When we find that many people show us the same pattern of anger or fear, they may be showing us an internal truth about ourselves in the moment.

Example: Multiple new relationships appear within the same month: PAY ATTENTION because there is something valuable to learn within the network of those relationships.

Look at the people you hold most dear. Look at the qualities that really push your buttons the most. Ask yourself:

“Are they showing you what you are in the moment?”

If you can honestly answer with a “no” then ask yourself:

“Are they showing you what you judge in the moment?”

UNDERSTANDING THE INNER TECHNOLOGY OF EMOTION. THE 3RD AND 4TH ESSENE MIRRORS

3RD ESSENE MYSTERY/MIRROR OF RELATIONSHIP: the mirror we sense every time we find ourselves in the presence of a person who, when we look in their eyes you feel an electric charge.

Through the Course of our lives, we give away or lose parts of ourselves. When we come to find ourselves in the presence of another individual who embodies what we have lost, we will feel it as a magnetic connection to that person. Ask yourself “ What is it that I see in this person that I may have lost or given away, or that was taken from me at some point in my life?”

“We will seek to reinforce that which we have lost, given away, or had taken away”

4TH ESSENE MYSTERY/MIRROR OF RELATIONSHIP: This one has a bit of a different quality. Through the course of our lives often we will adopt certain patterns of behavior that become so important to us that we will rearrange the rest of our lives to accommodate this pattern or behavior. When we find ourselves in this situation, we find that these patterns may be compulsive or addictive patterns of behavior. The 4th Mirror allows us to see ourselves in the presence of addiction or compulsion. Through addiction and compulsion, we give away little by little the things that are most important to us. And in this giving away, we have the opportunity to see ourselves as we lose the things we hold most dear.

The most common addictions that come to our minds are usually Alcohol, Nicotine, or Drugs. Issues of control. Addictions to sex. Need for money, to create money/abundance. Etc.

The patterns unfold gradually over time. We give away what is most important to us over time. We may recognize the pattern at any time & find our wholeness in healing. Rather than the opposite of taking the addiction to its extreme.

“The best science now tells us that every organ in our body has the ability to heal itself, every organ, even the organs we were told could not (so brain tissue, spinal cord tissue, heart tissue, pancreatic tissue) — all now are documented with the ability to heal themselves if they are given the right environment, and that environment is directly connected to thoughts, feelings and emotions, how we feel about this world.”

- Gregg Braden

THE 5TH ESSENE MIRROR: This one is perhaps the single most powerful pattern. Through this mirror, we can see more and understand to a greater level why we’ve lived the lives we live. It is the mirror that our parents showed us through the course of our childhood lives with them. Through this mirror we are asked to allow for the possibility, to entertain the possibility that perhaps the actions of our parents toward us are mirroring our beliefs and expectations of what may be the most sacred relationship we’ll ever know in our lifetime: The relationship between us and our Heavenly Mother & Father. It is through this relationship with our earthly parents that our parents are showing us ourselves in that expectation and belief of that Divine relationship.

For example: If we find ourselves in a relationship with our parents where we feel judged, constantly. Or that we feel our best is never good enough. There is a HIGH probability that what is being mirrored is our belief within ourselves that we may not be good enough. Or that we may not have accomplished that which may have been expected of us.

It’s a very powerful yet subtle mirror. Through our perceptions of ourselves and our creator, it may tell us more about why we’ve lived our lives as we have than any other.

If you feel something inside of you welling up that says “NO WAY,” you’ve likely encountered something that could be really powerful. The only way you’ll have a response is when you are being shown something that is so deep you may have chosen to avert looking at it in the past.

(In the video attached Gregg Braden walks you through a written exercise where you write down positive and negative words to describe your parents or the people who mostly raised you when you were a child)

There is a good possibility that the words (positive & negative) you use to describe your parents have very little to do with those you call Mom and Dad. With those words, what you are describing is a mirror. This is the mirror your parents have held to you of the most sacred relationship you will experience. The way you see your Mother and Father (The words you use) of this world is a mirror of your expectations of the relationship you have with your Heavenly Mother and Father.

There are many ways to look at this. Could it be possible that inviting you to this world lives as an unspoken responsibility that those who raise us are surrogates, they are the closest thing we know in our Heavenly Creator. That they have impeccably held to you the way you see your relationship with your Heavenly Parents.

When you perceived your parents' anger, (often times when you were little) you felt what your Creator felt. This mirror may show you your beliefs, your expectations of what your Creator feels for and about you.

A great question to ask ourselves is

“What would I say to my parents if I only had one minute left?"

"What would I like to hear from my parents in the last minute of my life?”

Through our Earth life, we have the opportunity to heal our relationships with both our earthly parents and our Heavenly parents by recognizing what the mirror is trying to show us, so as to release it.

“Both the positive and negative attributes of our earthly parents mirror to us how we perceive our Heavenly Parents.”

THE SIXTH ESSENE MIRROR: Ominous name: The Dark Night of The Soul

We are constantly reminded that life & nature have a propensity toward balance. It takes an extremely skillful and masterful being to upset the balance in nature and in our lives. When we find ourselves in the greatest challenges of life, it is in these moments that we have amassed each tool that will allow us to move through that challenge with grace and with ease. Until those tools are amassed, we will never see ourselves in the situations that ask us to demonstrate these high levels of mastery.

From this perspective, the greatest challenges of life may be viewed as tremendous opportunities to demonstrate this mastery, rather than tests that may be passed or failed in life.

It is through this mirror that we see ourselves naked. Without the emotions, feelings, thoughts, and constructs around us that we have constructed around us to keep us safe.

We have the opportunity to see ourselves in a completely transparent way and to prove to ourselves that the process of life may be trusted.

This mirror is an opportunity to lose everything we’ve held dear in life and see ourselves truly naked as we came. As we climb out of the abyss that is left after the loss of everything we held dear, and we see ourselves in a new way; this is where we find ourselves our Highest levels of Master.

LIGHT & DARK

From the Ancient perspectives, possibility that the forces at play in our polarized world have chosen to come here to anchor. The only way to anchor is for a force or field to hold the mirrors for us. Pre-twelfth century texts show benign beings Gabriel & Lucifer volunteering to anchor light and dark respectively.

DREAM FIRE CEREMONY:

Gaze into a flame, at the space between the flame and the rest of the flame. It allows us to relax and move into an altered state of awareness, often without knowing it.

Your body mirrors your belief. Illness is only possible if you believe that the forces of light and dark are separate. If we know that dark and light both originate in our Creator, we will not fear.

As you heal each memory (a single memory) you heal these 3 Universal fears:

1. Fear of not being good enough.

2. Fear of trusting and surrendering.

3. Fear of abandonment and separation.

And the science of compassion is an even greater possibility.

THE 7TH ESSENE MIRROR: This one is the most subtle. It asks us to allow for the possibility that each experience of life, regardless of the outcome, is perfect in its nature. Regardless of whether or not we achieve the lofty goals that have been set by others, we are invited to view our accomplishments in life without comparing them to anything else. Without any external reference. The only way we can view ourselves in failure or success is when we measure our accomplishments to an external yardstick.

These questions then arise in us, What is it that we hold ourselves accountable to? What do we use as our yardstick of accomplishment? From the perspective of this 7th mirror, we are asked to allow for the possibility that all aspects of our lives (each aspect of our personal life: body shape, body weight, academic, business, athletic, spiritual achievements) are perfect as they stand. We can only be judged when they are compared to an external reference.

Allow for perfection in the imperfections of life.

What standards are we holding ourselves which cause us to feel unhappy?

How do I come to determine when I have succeeded or failed at something in life?

The Essene’s remind us that we will go through each of these mirrors through this life. Sometimes multiple times and sometimes multiple mirrors at a time. We are invited to know ourselves in the presence of others through our relationships. As those relationships are reconciled, we become the benefit of that healing. It is that benefit that we carry with us through life as we walk between the worlds of Heaven & Earth.

”Oh, cowabunga.”

“People act as if “scientists” come down from the sky — They too have special interests, mental conditioning, ideological dispositions, political leanings, sexual preferences, pride, arrogance, trauma, repressions, spiritual blind-spots ... they too can be easily manipulated.”

“When people say they believe in science but science itself built on ever evolving theories in search of the truth, and the studies of these theories are usually funded by people who want you to find a “truth” that serves their purpose.”

“Exactly — believing in Science is like believing in the power of a mirror. It certainly has the power to reflect the visible world, but who is aiming the mirror ? At what ? And who can tell if the mirror is not bent, stained or broken, creating distortions in the reflections?”

You can always change how you feel, Nick, and you can always feel whatever you like.

I let go and free it all,
what happens next, happens next.

The Corner of 8th & Insanity
Dude, the reason that fear is “real” for so many people, including you at times, is that you feed it. You give it energy. Its really that simple. Energy is exactly that, transmute it and put it where you want. Over analyzing, is preventing you from moving forward. Stop it brotha. Today is the day. Show up and love. Show up and serve. I love you.

Big changes are around the corner man. This new phase in your life is pure magic. Just continue to trust the signs you see, trust the process. Continue to work on your presence. Now man. All of it is now. Divine timing is on your side, and you gotta believe in that. Im ready to talk when you are. I love you man.


The present is all I have, I am learning to feel, I am learning to hold it in my hand.

Man, I know you have no fucking clue what is about to come next. But as you have before, embrace the uncertainty. Step into it and let it lead you. You know its where the real fun is. You know the more you embrace it, the more present you are. Im just hear to remind you. There really is no lost man. I know you feel it at times. But it’s ego fucking with you. You waged war with your ego, so expect it present itself in other ways. You know what you gotta do, just let your gut, and heart lead. That’s all :) I love you.

The Corner of 8th & Insanity

It gets easier and easier doesn’t it. The more you follow the gut and the heart, the easier life gets. It doesn’t really feel like you are working. Your old way of life doesn’t fit anymore, so let it go. I’m happy you finally felt it. You’re done seeking outside. It is inside that fulfills and you’ve known it, just a road bump don’t sweat it.. Fuck ego man, it is sly. You have zero need to rely on any other, and don’t ever wish it another way. Live open and go man. Be grateful


When I stop thinking, my problems end. Simple. As. That.

The Corner of 8th & Insanity

You know what the true test is man. You ready for it? Would you like to know how you are living.. operating from your false self? Think about it for a second… Hint: It’s ego dude. It’s when you care what other people think about you.

You’ve been feeling it for a long ass while. So dangerously close to not giving a flying fuck what people think. It comes to you in waves, some days more than others. Its that time that you just gotta fucking leap. I believe in you. If you have trouble remembering what it feels like, think back to March, that morning on your mat, the freedom, the love. You know, don’t let anyone fuck you into thinking otherwise. I love you man.

When I slip up and let myself fall back into old, toxic patterns of thinking…
I forgive myself..
before I try to fix myself.

The Corner of 8th & Insanity

This soul embodiment process is really essential for physical ascension because so much of what you need to know will be articulated through gut feelings and body sensations. You’ve been feeling them everywhere. Becoming more in tune with your body has been the medicine you needed. Listen

You realized you make people uncomfortable just with your presence? Welcome to being un-apologetically in your power. Trust me brotha, it gets easier when you understand that you are a catalyst for others awakening and fully accept that there’s truly no going back from here.

You are here to serve. In your meditations I know you see it, I know you feel it. You are a facilitator and a servant. Step into it.


Why would I take advice from someone wearing a tie?
Why would I take advice from someone not living with an open heart?

Forgiveness requires a sense that bad behavior is a sign of suffering rather than malice.

The Corner of 8th & Insanity

Dude! Even when things don’t end in the way you want them to, or in a way you think is positive, trust that good will come out for everyone involved. Clearly, most miss the secret. Endings are new beginnings. Duh! Keep letting go, its making room for the new. You can always slow down. You can always breathe and come home to yourself. You are right here, and now. You are free. You are magic. Stand up.

I move forward by letting go and…
CHOOSING to forgive myself.

The Corner of 8th & Insanity

It really made sense man, ego. You know, you don’t always get to choose what you got to work with. That part of the beauty of it all. What ever comes, use it. Learn from it. Go with the flow and as always keep trusting your process. As you are figuring out, its gut, heart and brain. Its time right now to go with that gut and heart more than anything. What comes comes and what goes wasn’t meant to stay. I love you brotha..


The past is my fucking sacrifice. You know… for the good things coming. For the better future.

The Corner of 8th & Insanity

Man, everyone has their demons. Everyone has that battle, that struggle inside whether they want to face it or not. The fact is, you wouldn’t be here if you couldn’t handle it…if you weren’t prepared to handle it. You have what it takes to move like a Boss in this next chapter. You know you are worthy of leveling up in every aspect of your life. You feel it continually, every day and everywhere. Let go of that bitch, validation, and step forward. Keep movin. I love you dude.


Everything is Energy. My thoughts begin IT,
The emotions I put behind IT, amplify the frequency,
My action increases the momentum.

When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude.

The Corner of 8th & Insanity

You know it as well as I do, man that everything happens for a reason. Its an opportunity to learn from a failure, or a blessing in the sense of enjoyment. Either way, you don’t have a choice but to face everything right in front of you straight up and deal with it. That is what the present moment is all about. You know it be true man! I love you more than humanly possible, you know what I mean!

Sometimes man, you won’t always be able to see the stone to step on. But that’s the eyes deceiving you. You’ve done it before, you’ll do it again, and again and again. Take the leap into the unknown. You love it there. Deep down you know how much is at stake, more than ever before, but you know exactly how much is to be gained. So fucking much more than you thought. The fears, the doubts, even the validation man, its all the fucking ego. The ego is going to become your bitch, and you know it. You feel it.

Dude, stop fucking watering yourself down for people that cannot handle you anymore… that can’t handle all of you. Just accept the fact that they are not for you. You fuck your life up when you suppress your soul. The boxes, the labels are restricting and entirely illusionary! Respect yourself enough to be around people that embrace you. You don’t need to chase a fucking thing, let it come to you. You know the vibe man, vibe with the Universe. Its not different than control. The more you try and control something, the more it controls you. Ease up and chill. Be free. You are free. Catch you manana my man. I love you.

Can you feel it man? Its fucking incredible isn’t it? Its your subconscious shifting. Feel that gratitude and let it radiate and that connection you feel will continue to grow. All that you are, all that you have been, and everything is that is coming is already perfect. You are already beyond beautiful. Remember, that before your physical was born, you could fly. You are here to learn how to fly again. You are a freakin miracle man. I love you.

It felt good to be back in practice at CPY. I miss the hot room more than anything. I think the sweat and the purge has become addicting. I would definitely consider practicing on my own in a room, if I could crank the heat up. Today’s theme was centered around the third Niyama, Tapas or self discipline. Tapas is derived from the root Sanskrit word/verb ‘tap’ which means ‘to burn’, and evokes a sense of passion for practice. Tapas can mean cultivating a sense of self-discipline, passion and enthusiasm in order to burn away our impurities whether they be physical, mental or emotional. It is that way in which we can walk in our fire… to burn away that which isn’t truly us.

The Corner of 8th & Insanity
I know you’ve been paying attention, but remember this. For you to continue to grow and attract that new into your life, you gotta make room for it. So when you feel stuck, it’s a gentle reminder to let go of that shit that is weighing you down. Its no longer serving you. They are tests. You know man.

The resistance you feel at times is natural but don’t let it fuck with you too much. Fear is another one of those mother fucking labels are that is trying to define you, trying to limit your greatness. Fuck that shit. Whether you have it in your nudge into it or take the quantum leap, it makes no difference just so much as you don’t run backwards. Its time to leave the comfort zone entirely man. Drop it. I love you. Keep going.

Dude, when you start thinking of the past, those experiences find a way of creating your future. Fuck that. They are in the past, you learned from them, let em go. It takes courage to step forward but fucking go for it. Think about it for a second, those old stories are tests now, they are trying to die, so fucking let them die. The past isn’t you, you are now.

The Corner of 8th & Insanity
Dude, when you feel like you are being called to level up, to raise up, it means that you need to cut the fucking shit. You know the old habits and patterns of thought. Its the frustration that boils up. Remind yourself, and the ego that is what go you here in the first place. Yes, you are supposed to be here, right now. But it’s the lessons that haven’t been learned. You have come so far and worked so hard at it. Its an every day battle. Look at the small decisions that you’ve made and the impact they have had. You never thought you’d even be here with this insane kind of clarity. Keep at it and don’t stop. Don’t stop being curious. Don’t stop questioning. Don’t stop. I love you man. So fucking much.

Changing is tough. Old habits, old mindsets are work to change. Don’t beat yourself up too bad dude. Be patient. Be patient with yourself and others. Remember the mirror thing. Other people can only meet you at their current level of consciousnesses, you cannot change that. Is the perception they have of you even your responsibility? Think about it. As you move and groove, remember who you are. Fly man. Fucking fly! I love you.


If you don’t forgive those who have hurt you, you give them power over you. When you forgive you are in control of yourself and emotions.
