Thank you for this, recently I've seen unfortunate patterns in my life. I don't know how they got there but some seem as though I was born with them, as if I inherited them genetically. I'm sure when my ancestors live in a much more violent and dangerous world they were practical behaviors. It's shocking to think that if I can spot them in real time and consider them, that I can release them. I have some patterns that clearly hold me back and I can't wait to resolve them. Please write about this again in the future. Thanks again DJH
It very well may be something inherited genetically or on the soul level (karma). I also wouldn't discount the fact that our mind is very good at compartmentalizing things that happen to us during our formative years. I had an issue sleeping where I constantly was waking up in the middle of the night with no idea why. One day I got into a very deep state, and had a memory appear of being left alone as a child and incredibly frightened. It was crazy because I had no idea that even happened. My brain had filed it away as if it never did. These hidden imprints can often be surfaced with practitioners or using plant medicine.

What if your surroundings become dangerous again? Will you afford to drop those primitive desires which helped you to survive for thousands of years?
I’ve felt that “paradigm reward trap” so many times — thinking I’ve arrived, only to realize I’ve just stepped into a more seductive illusion. The map helps, but it’s these reflections — the lived nuance — that really guide the way.
Also appreciated your take on entrainment. I’ve noticed how just being in certain energetic fields — texts, people, spaces — can initiate subtle but profound shifts without needing to “do” anything. It’s a different form of intelligence. Less force, more presence.
Hey Scott, thanks for sharing - this reminds me of inner family systems IFS parts work developed by Richard Schwatz - same same but different packaging? it must be as this issue i think is universal to all humans! New to consciousness practice, love your podcast.
Thanks Alex for the kind words. I think IFS is a different way of interfacing with the same fundamental material. In my tradition, we relate to it more as energy and information, and the patterns are just a way that that is orchestrated. IFS likes to treat it as an individual sub-personality which I think is actually a lot more accessible for many people. I tend to gravitate towards relating it to it in a more fundamental sense. I think what's important is just finding a way to work with it that works for you.
Amazing! So happy to share your work in the magazine for December.
Well, are there any additional links that you would like to add/mention to share the work that you are doing? And a nice picture from you or the logo from your Substack would be nice to add at the end of the article. Next Friday, the 1st it will be published.
Thanks Nisha. I have used and experimented with David Hawkins Map of Consciousness exstensively. I plan on writing about my experience soon and would love for you to check it out. He is truly timeless and such a gift to the world

I really like the clarity in your article and very valuable to understand a couple of basic things to learn to understand oneself.
Would you be interested in sharing this article in our monthly holistic magazine? I would love to support your writing.
Thanks for sharing your experiences,
Nick
Thanks Sapito! That'd be awesome to be included. Let me know what you need from me if anything

Great article and thank you.
This meditation covers some of points you covered: https://youtu.be/m5z8hFjKerc
"All circumstances are evaluated from the context of one’s experience which is inclusive of their level of awareness around reality itself. "
I think your Substack is my new favorite account.
