when i can relax fully into a state of wu wei/flow/gnosis the experience is so intense for me that reality literally feels like a lucid dream i become extremely energized, i somehow know things that should be impossible to know, and i seem to be able to bend reality to my will effortlessly because of how powerful it is, you’d think that i would make this state the goal of my life, yet the challenge of doing so is incredibly immense most of the time. it takes me several hours a day in isolation with intense focus, and my nervous system seems to be working against me the entire time that was working top-down, though. for the last several weeks i’ve been using my therapy sessions to heal and reprogram myself from the root level to be able to make relaxation my default state instead of transcending the ego, i’ve been embracing it, bringing my worst self to the forefront for integration and healing. no bypassing, only complete honesty and surrender feeling closer to my goal state every week ✨

the best hot tub is the hot tub that occurs after 5 hours of weeding and forest fitness (aka moving a giant wood pile and burning stuff) you might recognize my 100lb side table!

Friedrich Nietzsche — The artist alone sees spirits. But after he has told of their appearing to him, everybody sees them.

have completed 3 sessions with the fancy new therapist, but every two weeks doesn’t seem like enough so i’m going to try weekly for the next month. there’s so much i want to work on! the price is pretty intense but it feels like what i need to invest in most right now, so i’ll make it happen—even if it means i need to start a new alt for feet pics or something 😈 all the work has me feeling pretty lost and liminal, but it’s not a bad place to be. i just want to make sure i maximize the opportunity and not just revert to old patterns and habits, so erring to the side of doing less and being more and seeing what the true priorities are. i expect more clarity and momentum soon

working on a new artist statement and bio and i might be near the end. it can be challenging to figure out how much of the darkness to include—it’s important to share the reason behind my journey and process up to this point, but i don’t want it to be too heavy going forward i want to live in a different paradigm though. a lot of my choices have been a reaction to the darkness and pain, but that duality is just another way to keep the dark side alive. it was helpful and important for a time, but now i want complete freedom—what would i chose if i could start again, unburdened and unscathed?
