Beautiful piece. I had to get smacked off my accomplish horse really hard, in the public arena no less, to be able to see how much I'd been relying on external validation to feel worthy. Coming through that identity reckoning was a multi-year very painful process, a gift wrapped in barbed wire. I used to call it the big Ordeal, but now call it the Initiation because I am so much happier, more comfortable in my own skin, and kinder. You've probably seen the movie Mr Holland's Opus, which is pretty lovely and in line with what you've shared here.
It sounds like we’ve had paralell experiences! A gift wrapped in barb wire is so accurate. It’s always tough when you’re going through it, but on the other side, you can’t imagine going back to the state of being you were living from before.
I haven’t watched Mr. Holland’s Opus in decade! Maybe it’s time for a rewatch : )
This is a very valuable and extremely important post and topic because being aware of conscious evolution as a concept, really is the foundation for a fulfilling, purposeful life. Not many individuals get to this level of awareness, not because they're not capable, but because they don't go deep enough to uncover the mysteries and secrets within the Body, Mind and Soul complex, and the Spiritual intelligence that resides within each of us. "The Kingdom is indeed within" and when this spiritual or quantum power is uncovered, the entire game and meaning of life and what it means to live changes, because external pursuits no longer become the focus, internal alignment does. This level of awareness, internal alignment or conscious union with the I AM Source of Awareness - which animates everything including the ego - brings with it both inner and outer Glory, and that is what we are all searching for, whether we know it or not. The root cause of all suffering is a lack of connection to Source or Spiritual power (Love), thinking that the ego has to work everything out, when the Truth is that God or Source is waiting on the other side of that illusion.
Beautifully said, Joe. It reminds me of what Jesus said, "Forgive them for they do not know what they do." The biggest challenge our world faces today is one of ignorance. I don't mean that in a demeaning way, but rather pointing to the awareness of our divine nature and the beauty that this can create as a pathway to healing the world.
That's right Scott. Jesus Christ which represents “Unity Consciousness with the Father” is “The Way, the Truth and The Life” for a reason. Wisdom, Unity and Divinity are the antidotes to ignorance. If you haven't already watched it, watch the Joe Rogan podcast with Gregg Braden where Gregg highlights our Divinity as the key to Evolution. This movement is now going mainstream. Our time has arrived and the work you are doing with Consciousness and Spirituality and the way in which you deliver your content and message is extremely important.
Whoa Rogan had Gregg Braden on? That’s surprising. He interviewed my friend Brandon Epstein and Joe seemed very uncomfortable with metaphysical concepts.
I agree that things are picking up and happy to be supporting however I can
Yes. Joe Rogan is only now beginning to come into metaphysical concepts which happens with mainstream success. Celebrities in particular, get so tied up in the 3D Drama that the higher dimensional planes of existence are not able to be perceived, until...one has had enough of the 3D nonsense and illusions and comes into the Truth of their Spirit being. That's when the real fun begins...
People see the Spirit as something to be avoided, not knowing it is the key to their liberation and freedom! Love your work. You are one of the very few people who totally gets this reality. More and more will be unveiled as we evolve and elevate our consciousness.
- Charlie Sheen is a case in point (another fascinating Joe Rogan interview)
I watch these things from the point of view of Spirit and now find them absolutely fascinating from this vantage point and perspective knowing we are all searching for the same thing - "Unity Consciousness with the Father" - as was depicted in the teachings and life of Jesus Christ - who was God's highest conception of man, and eventually Spiritualised to the Point of Union with the Father to create Heaven on Earth.
That's the whole point of life and Spirituality. The 3D mind and ego is very focused on the suffering aspect, the crucifixion and cross, where as the 5D Consciousness has moved beyond ego and is focused on the unification and the Glory that is to come at the "Day of Jesus Christ" as Neville Goddard wisely quoted.
Neville Goddard was one of the only ones to truly decipher and decode Scripture for what it Truly represents (Conscious union with the Father or Spirit for Creation and Expansion in the physical dimension of experience) and in my experience, is the foundation and pillars for all Spiritual Elevation
Hey there, I have no idea how your article ended up in my inbox (I've never even been on substack I don't think) or what made me read it but what you mentioned of your book reminded me of the book Vedanta Treatise by Swami A. Parthasarathy. If you haven't heard of him or others like my buddy like James Beshara on his podcasts The Daily Vedantic, you should check them out. I think the paradigms they talk about would be really helpful in your search. I look forward to reading your book!
Hey Alex - I haven't checked him out. I will definitely look into as I love to find the ancient teachings overlap with more modern contexts. Thanks for getting on my radar and also reading my book : )
Also resonating with the point of the article too though. I set out to write a musical about consciousness many years ago and the piece started writing me instead.
This is the way. Proud of you man.
Thanks brother! You are an inspiration to me and played a big part in this story

Beautiful! This resonated with me deeply as I am trying to tread the same water (again) Ty for this!
you got it. Wishing you ease through your re-entry!
Laughed so hard at “and even looking like a bro” 😂🤣👍
Also resonating with the point of the article too though. I set out to write a musical about consciousness many years ago and the piece started writing me instead.
funny how that works right!?!? Love the idea of "the thing" playing you
