The Calendar is a Ghost
They tell us it’s the 14th of the month. The Gregorian calendar—a 12-month loop we’ve agreed to inhabit. But who decided this was the rhythm?
I’ve been thinking about how perception doesn't just influence reality—it is reality. If enough people think one way, a path is worn into the dirt. It becomes easy to follow. But what if we choose to move differently? To love the process? To create the process? To shift the process until it no longer resembles the cage we were born into?
This is part of the game. This is the mystery.
The Body Speaks (And It’s Screaming)
There is a new discovery on my back. It hurts. It’s a physical weight, a sparking nerve, a mystery I haven't solved yet. Maybe it’s the detox—the price of admission for a life without sugar and gluten. Maybe it’s the ghost of Lyme disease coming back to check on me.
I don’t feel well. There, I said it.
I’m laying here, listening to the rain, feeling the nerves in my being vibrate. I want to drift back. I want to find that alignment where the soul and the skin don’t chafe against each other. But I’ve learned something today: Body pain can happen to anyone, at any time. I am looking at this discomfort and I am giving it a name. I am thanking it for the message. And then, I am releasing it back to the universe. It was nice knowing you, but you’ve served your purpose.
From Human to "Huminous"
Everything has changed. Look in the mirror and take a personal inventory. You aren't who you were when the "tapes" were recorded. You are a completely different human now.
You are Huminous Luminous.
You have been upgraded to a different vibration, a different dimension, yet you still carry these "human" traits. You still look the part. You still try to compare yourself to the "Old You"—that character on the screen from the previous season.
Let the old truth go. It was a doctored recording. The tapes have been changed. We are in a new game now. To be whole in all areas of experience means being willing to stand in the arena, even when the arena is just a bed at 8:05 AM and your back is on fire.
The 888-Day Goal We are close to the 888-day mark. But what is a goal post in a universe that is constantly expanding? Should we move it? Should we care about something else entirely?
I could type these letters and numbers until the sun goes down. I could question what is real until "reality" dissolves. But instead, I will breathe. I will shine light into this new way of being. I will be free from the past and the phantom of the future.
I am here. In the moment. In the pain. In the light.
The Final Inventory:
Grateful for: The back pain (the teacher), the lack of WiFi (the silence), and my vision (the witness).
Intention: To Observe.
FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. My body is in pain. I hurt. My back hurts.
But I am here. And the game continues.
