To the brothers and sisters who support this space, to the truth-seekers who long to be unconditional in their joy - let me hold your hand and tell you something I have learned the uneasy way…
Joy doens’t have to be your goal.
It has to be your way.
You need sunshine or snow, you need forests or fields or oceans - you need a cabin in the woods or a balcony full of herbs, you need ambition and purposeless…
You need what you need not because you are still caught up in identification with what’s ‘superficial’ but because that’s what your spirit decided you would need in order to experience the life it chose for you.
The things that make you come alive, feel at ease, touch you with wonder - are the things that allow your spirit to fulfill its purpose. Your body was imbued with little plug sockets in the hope that you would spend the rest of your life finding those things that connect you to your life through resonance.
This episode is about the conflict we often have between knowing who we really are and what role things, desires, and simple pleasures have on our ability to live on purpose.
I hope it provides some clarity if you feel like enlightenment is all about physical abstinence and emotional sobriety as I have done myself for many years.

Un is rooted in the original word, to live in deprivation. Here are a few un-word affirmations for today:
I let go of the story of un-productivity to make space for spontaneous and creative sources of inspiration to work through me without the need to validate my ego or please others.
I let go of the story of un-conditionality to make space for the beauty of being made porous through loss, love, and other external occurrences knowing that I can choose what affects me.
I let go of the story of un-ease to make space for a life full of flow and potential, using Joy as a guiding principle for all decisions. May it show me how to live in an energy that is abundant, reciprocal, and in accordance with all other nature-beings on this earth.
