My personal take on various subjects including but not limited to: current events, occultism / the paranormal, psychology, relationships, parenting, society, music, fitness, funny stuff and all the rest.
Here's a quick video for y'all - Hope everyone is enjoying themselves. One thing I forgot to mention is that if I'm repeating myself or posting the same old kinds of things (lol) - I'm sorry. I love you guys and don't want to bore anyone, but I don't watch these for quality control haha.
Anyway life is rad : ) - hopefully by the next time you see me, I will be in a brand new place - in a whole different frame of existence. "Keep on rockin' in the free world!"
In light
Here's some music to peep -
Kinda like the history of skateboarding.. plus Cass Mccombs is great:
Bye everyone!

Hey guys! Here's another video to tie it all together. Big things are happening and I feel like I'll be heading in to some next level tj kinda stuff. I'm happy to show you all what I'm thinking of - Please keep me in mind and enjoy my presence! As I will with you! ; ))
Heeeey guys thanks for stopping by and checking out my new video. I don't know about you but life has been a real intense journey lately. I'm trying to do my best but the universe keeps throwing things in my face. Anyway here is a little story I'd like to share!
Here's some music too -
Looking forward to the future. I'm nothing less than willing and able. As we embark on this transition into full on SUMMER, I ask all of you to guide me to where I need to be, as I will with you.
More to come : ))

Hey, guys!
Check it out - TJ talks about it this time! This is so natural! You know some people have accused me of being a little weird. I think I finally understand what they mean now. haha AAAAnnnyway glad you could make it. Check me out - I'm really cool.
Don't forget to check my music pics for the moment ; ))
So I'm going to be 31 in a few days. How dreadful lol - hehe j/k.. I'm going to be officially "in my thirties" though.. which is a little weird to me. I can tell I'm becoming more of an adult because I'm not planning any parties or even making any significant plans lol. I requested it off this year, though, and truth be told - I just hope I have a few minutes of time to reflect / feel gratitude about my life's current circumstances. I miiiiight go to VT to see Kaskade and stock up on magick supplies and music. I was thinking of getting some new ink too. All in good time though..
Anyway - This year has found me in a particulary transitional point of life, and I am very excited and happy about it. So allow this first entry to be a tribute and reflection upon myself as TJ, and an Aries - as well as a celebration of all ARIES people - Our time has come yet again lol
I've always believed in myself as an ARIES in many aspects of my life. Spiritually for sure 100% . Mentally .. about 65%. Physically ehh, 50/50 at best... Personality - If you get to know me you will see that I have my moments.
What does it mean to be an ARIES? for me? It's a lot like having tunnel vision - or like - you can't hear the train until it's 3 feet from you. But whatever you're focused on means the world at the time. Especially in aspects of my personality and relationships... I keep touching the hot stove and it takes me over and over again to learn lessons. That's one drawback I guess you could say. It's not all negative though!
When I feel inspiration or motivation I REAAAALLY feel it. I'm in love with ideals and grand concepts. I love freedom, creativity, expansion, LOVE, pioneering, enterprising. I always root for the underdog and identify with oppression. I want to expand - and give forth what I've learned and come to realize.
They say words can't teach, only life experience can. - and for an ARIES that is remarkably true. I just won't be satisfied until I have the REAL experience and only after the RAW trial and error. I have to know I'm going somewhere and that there is an attainable GOAL. I have to feel it - experience it. Also people can tell me again and again what the outcome of some situation or circumstance will be, but unless I experience it full fledge for myself, other people's words / advice seldom have any effect on me.
My outward existence is not quite what it seems and I've been told this before. Most people upon meeting me can peg that I'm holding a lot back, and that there is more to the picture than meets the eye. I never understood why I was so inept at fitting in, showing people who I am, or being able to feel comfortable in seemingly ordinary circumstances. I think maybe it's wrapped up somewhere in my life lessons and the agreements I made before I came here... One thing I can't ever fake though is my emotional state. I'm just an easy read I guess..I wear my heart on my sleeve and it's been for better worse.
Another thing I've been forced to deal with (and this is thankfully more just MY OWN deal) is how young I look. People can't believe when I tell them I'm 30, or that I have a 9 year old son. lol "It's just the way God made me" I say.. or "that's what happens when you sell your soul.. kind of a trade off, you have to stay young forever." - people don't react to that one as much as I'd like them to. Again - something weird that I can only attribute to the agreements I made before coming here. There could be worse things I suppose..
Aries - I feel is a lot like KETHER in the Qabalah - think... "I AM" - I am .. It's the first thing that manifests. It's the first thing that's evident. Both amazing and new, yet uninitiated and foolish. What a weird combination lol.
So anyway that's kind of Aries in a nutshell - in my own opinion and based on findings from my own life.
Spring is here and there are a lot of April birthdays that I know of. As this time comes and goes, I would like to wish all of my Fellow - Arien friends a happy bday - and remember: You're waaaay cooler than any other sign lol
This week's meat and potatoes esoteric entry will be about COLOR. Color is something I don't think too much about in terms of everyday, but for some reason I have been using it more and more lately.. so this will be interesting to write about.
Color can be an extremely powerful tool. Whether you are wearing it, adding it to your business, using it in mental communications, or whatever else. We as humans are aware of a spectrum of color - known as ROYGBIV or - the rainbow. We are aware of many other colors in-between as well, all of which have meaning and give off a certain feeling. I'm going to explain the concept of the spectrum as best I can, what each color represents (in ball park terms) and how we can use this information - some people may not agree with every little thing I say about this and that's ok. My advice would be to pick up whatever resonates with you and simply leave the rest behind.
Anyway - like many things in life - COLOR has a beginning, a middle, and an end - just like numbers (1-10 concept) just like the ABCs, and whatever else. As humans we are only able to detect a certain portion of the spectrum. They say it's basically from black to white in terms of contrast and from red to violet in terms of actual differentiation. Anyway here is a helpful guide to what the colors mean - Feel free to use this, draw from it, or label it as pure garbage. whatever suits you best.
Blue - Communication, Your "outward" effect on the world, Personal Truth, Vocal Ability,
Control of the Essence you give off, How you come across. - Outgoing information
Indigo / Violet - Psychic center, Clairvoyance, - Incoming information, Intuition, Inspiration, Dream center / Higher self
Whites - Union, God, the Universe - the higher parts we can't access yet, "It's all good"
Earth tones - Browns, dark greens / olives etc... - Home, Family, Security, Feeling full,
Happiness, Fruits of our labor, Good Food.
Blacks / Grays - Neutrality, Humble-ism, The Void, Banishing, Tranquility, Blending in, Low
Key.
We can apply and use color in many aspects of our lives. We can wear them to reflect our vibrations, daily moods, etc... we can mentally put color around people / situations we find ourselves around, we can decorate our homes, we can do basically anything with them. The thing to understand is that COLOR elicits a response - and depending on the response we want, we use the color that best applies. This is kind of how magick and occult work goes... it's like algebra. We know the certain values of some things, but we need to put them in some kind of formula to solve for the DESIRED outcome.
Try it out - next time you have a big meeting or social engagement - a little while before hand mentally surround the situation with a color and vibration you wish to have. You'll be surprised how well it works. I do it all the time. People at work, residents, the parking spot I want at the mall, the mail order shit that's on it's way, the food I order. COLOR is really powerful... and it's a fun way to practice clairvoyance / second sight.
Don't forget about the new moon coming up... Couple days or so. Casting / Magickal theory suggests that new moons are the best times to dispel things you don't want anymore - or to get rid of things you are ready to get rid of. New moons are also good for "planting the seeds" of what you'd like to see manifested in the future. Also good for secretive and hidden acts.
Now it's time for a personal anecdote - To lighten the mood and ground us back to normal day to day stuff.
I was in Price Chopper the other day (I go there a lot) and was just kind of getting over my recent illness, tooling around in the produce section when I noticed an odd, middle aged man staring at me from behind the Strawberries. He was wearing sunglasses but I can tell you - he was LOOKING right at me, ... not just looking, but staring. I tried not to notice. I glanced up, made the understanding that this dude it gawking at me and pretended to go back to looking at the juices in front of me. "Hmmm" I thought. "What is that guy looking at?" "Maybe he's blind?" I thought to myself. - and that would explain it. Just a coincidence! He can't tell if he's staring at someone or whatever - he can't see!. but where is his walking stick? He's got all this shit in his basket, perfectly placed.. no seeing eye dog or any noticeable friend helping him out...- there's no way he's blind. Oook, so maybe I'm just being paranoid. Maybe he thought I looked familiar or maybe he's just a pervert or something.. but he's still staring at me. This is getting awkward.. ok tj move on.. turn the corner, just get out of here.
As I continued my shopping I began to wonder.. what if that guy was a secret agent, and maybe I look similar to his contact. He was just sizing me up! Waiting for the secret signal I was unable to give him. Should I go back and check? No - ... don't do that. Maybe I look like his long lost nephew, Leonard - that disappeared into Plattsburgh after getting into some Legal trouble in Montreal, 8 years ago... Well he would have said something if that were the case. Maybe he was just a weirdo - and something about my amazing presence commanded his gaze for like 3 minutes. Maybe I was everything he hated about the new generation and he was looking at me in disgust. Who could ever know? -
Anyway I saw him exiting the store as I was in the checkout line. Well I can tell you one thing - after seeing him up close. He was no secret agent. Infact, he looked more like an ex professional wrestler. All washed up and trying to get a deal on watermelon that morning. HAHA! a non-threat to my life.. nevertheless I said to myself - this will make something good to write about.
Spring is here! We just had the first day of Spring not too long ago and that makes me feel just awesome. This year the first day of Spring happens to fall right after the Solar Eclipse we had last week or so and right before the Lunar Eclipse we're going to have on the 23rd. There are a lot of things going on this month and Astrologically speaking I gather it's supposed to be a real time of self realization and true discovery of where we want to be in life, coupled with feelings of solidarity, realism and practicality of the Universe.
For me it's been like someone giving me binoculars or a radio transmitter or something - I can see and feel things on a wider spectrum (and see all the amazing opportunities life has to offer), but at the same time I'm still in my room and nothing spectacular has actually "taken place" - understanding there are some real things that can't be avoided, such as financial status, career choices, family issues, has been driving me crazy. It's supposed to be a big time for all of us, but you're going to hear all about me for now.
Personally the last week or so has been quite nerve-racking and frustrating. I simply can't stand the feeling of "hurry up and wait", being "stuck" and lacking "control." Some of this I'm sure is related to an "Arien" point of view - so bear with me while I break it down. This week has been about realizing, seeing and fully understanding where I want to be - and then comparing that scenario to the cruddy personal circumstances I have going on presently. For me it's like torture, purgatory... just the worst. Every little crumb of negativity gets amplified and it's like nails on a chalkboard. Keep in mind - things being amplified lately is only part of the current Astrological trends going on - but nevertheless it still makes me want to die.
Lately it's been like, one moment: I get these really hyped up ideas and I feel great, amazing, loving, visual, intense, creative, secure, flawless, all knowing, active, I'm on top of the world, everyone loves me! - and then the next moment: I get slapped in the face with all these harsh realities - My living space is too small, my job is going nowhere, my ex is running the show, I'm a lousy parent, I wish I could be more like normal people, I have issues that no one will ever understand, blah blah blah.. It's all been quite disruptive and my thoughts become all consuming, and because I can't let things go you know what happens?
I get sick. The God / Universe says, "well TJ you bastard you can't calm yourself down so here's a nice buttery virus to help put things into perspective for you." You can't avoid the Judiciary acts of the Universe I guess. - and I paid for it.
Only just tonight (3/21) have I finally caught a glimpse of an honest to goodness supportive quality in the midst of all this intensity. I'm getting over this crappy virus, I'm riding high on endorphins and jiggly legs from the gym, it seems my living situation has a little light at the end of the tunnel now... and I have tomorrow off to relax and align my energy. Thank God.
I will try to squeeze something good out of this - and that is if there is anyone else out there who has felt any of the "powerless" vibe of the Universe lately, or felt like they were being swept away by circumstance, - or found themselves being a slave to monotony and unsatisfying drudgery - just know - You're not alone! They say misery loves company, and believe me I've been feeling it full force. It's been so bad on some days that I just want to drive away and start all over again. A feeling some of you may have had before as well.
That being said - I believe this time of intense self realization is on it's way OUT and the craziness of it all will soon be coming to an end. It won't end on a negative note, however. (and this is how awesome the Universe is -) We will be receiving a FULL MOON to end our path of self discovery. It's like God's way of saying - "So - What are you gonna do about it?"
It's up to us to take our findings, understand what they mean to us, and figure out a way to bring the change we want into our lives. To put all this into very simple terms - This is our time to plant the seeds of what we wish to create. We've seen everything, felt everything, and have a pretty good understanding of where we want to be and what we want to attract in our lives. Some of us had to deal with a little more than others during this phase, and that's ok - some of us are just a little more full tilt. but that's awesome. "god gives the toughest jobs to the toughest people."
The good news is - by the 23rd - when the Full moon shines and fills our reality up, the planting will be done and growth is going to start. Let's make sure we plant the right seeds.
So my last entry might of come off as a little whiney - poor me - look at me - kinda vibe - and rightfully so - I was feeling kind of icky and down in the dumps for various reasons. I get selfish and a very bad case of tunnel vision when things are bad for me... But... TODAY has been much different. I'm considering myself finally OVER whatever virus I had - my search for new living quarters is looking QUITE good now - and things in general just seem to be going my way. I'd like to take a minute to acknowledge this and reflect on this concept of give and take, yin and tang, up and down...
There is a natural attraction of opposites in terms of how the Universe works - it's kind of interesting really... As humans we go through life wanting and striving and hoping for nothing but good things, feeling good, getting good results, only having good positive experiences - BUT inevitably we are faced with some occasional set backs, second thoughts, cold harsh reality, rainy days, injury / sickness, and it just downright blows for a while at times. The trick and truly hard feat as I have come to realize lately - is learning to understand and try to enjoy our times of negativity and unhappiness.
If we broaden our perception we find that there are legit reasons for the negativity we go through in our lives. In essence - There can never truly be an ultimate awesomeness without there being an ultimate shittiness somewhere - it's just the way things perpetuate themselves. I guess it's kind of like a battery - there is a negative and a positive side - both sides of the spectrum are needed to create POWER. - So thank you, life, for giving me a few cruddy days lately. Purgatory or "the cold hard look in the mirror" or whatever you want to call it. All so that the good things to come seem truly good. Or summed up by A. Crowley, "That which I came to destroy, in order that I might fulfill."
So - In the spirit of the Full moon tomorrow - planting seeds - and starting this Spring with our best foot forward - Allow me to wish you the very best success in your life and in all your endeavors. Have you taken the time to look at your life? Do you know what you want? Take an inventory and get those seeds ready because Planting time is NOW.
(Esoteric Tie in)
Notice a theme lately? It's funny because I never fully understood this time of year until I started studying occultism - but it makes so much sense when you think about it. We can't have growth without fertilizer, we can't see anything new unless we take our eyes off something old, the
Winter has to die before the Spring can come to life. We need to have bad days in order to appreciate the good ones - In Easter terms: JC has to die and there HAS to be a period of hopelessness, despair and uncertainty before there can be a time of resurrection, rejoicing and celebration.
So in closing - Happy Easter and I hope I have given you something to think about in the days to come. Life ebbs and flows. If you ever find yourself in a negative mood or situation, know that it's not going to last forever and something awesome is probably right around the corner.
I know I said I would write about some of the Fitness ideas / concepts I've seen in the media lately but truth be told I just haven't been able to watch a lot of TV this last week. Although I can't write about anything too current, I will touch on a few of the shows I've seen and give you my thoughts on them.
Broken Skull Ranch:
This is the one where that Steve Austin guy gets athletes together so they can compete in some majorly intense / competitive type courses.. At the end someone wins and takes home some money and prizes or whatever. I've only seen bits and pieces but it seems like a pretty basic show to me. There's action and you get to see different people from different fitness backgrounds and the obstacles look pretty intense. Fun to watch and entertaining. I just wish they would jazz it up a little bit though - throw in some crocodiles or a snake pit u know?
American Ninja Warrior:
What can I say about this that hasn't already been said? To me this is like THE show that put physical enhancement in the spotlight. It's kind of got that Olympic feel to it - the best people from all different backgrounds are competing, you get a little history about them, etc. What is noteworthy to me is that it really exemplifies the idea that the human body can be amazing and do amazing things - and it's not just all about being able to play baseball, or basketball, or being a good quarterback, etc. Seldom do I see the idea of physical fitness being celebrated without it being attached to something mainstream... thank you for introducing the Ninja vibe to it too. Who doesn't love ninjas?
From Fit to Fat to Fit:
Woaaah nelly lol this is ummm... thinking outside the box? I don't even know WHAT to think about this one... I have only seen commercials for it and a few bits and pieces of it at the Nursing Home but it seems like the trainer deliberately flushes their life down the toilet for a period of time, puts on 15-20 lbs or whatever, so that their client can feel good about working out. The client gets to have a buddy going through the same things basically. In essence it seems like a shock factor cheap sell to me that won't last long... but who knows. First of all - personally - just as a human being, I would NEVER ask someone to alter their physical appearance just for me NOR would I feel like that is even necessary... I don't get it - like I don't even understand how the idea even enters the equation... UNLESS - the athlete is doing it for themselves, like as a weird inner journey / psychological experiment or something. "What else is there ? What kind of boundaries can I push?" kind of thing... Ohh boy. It seems to be a hit at the Nursing Home, so maybe there is hope. aaaand I have never seen a full episode so I suppose I can't judge a book by it's cover. but from where I sit right now - it looks a little too icky... not my cup of tea.
Dwayne Johnson's - Wake Up Call:
THIS was my absolute favorite take on the whole fitness / proactive lifestyle getting put into TV show format. It was short lived and only had like one or two episodes but it hits a home run and ranks high on my list. First of all I love this guy. It's like an all around good guy, embracing positivity, change, doing the right thing. He always plays the HERO archetype, good hearted, respectful. Really I mean he's just a total smiley douche bag, lol but idk, I always had love for this guy.
Anyway the show featured the rock going from place to place, helping down and out people. People in the show were in really bad circumstances. Facing problems like addiction, poverty, racism, - relationship issues, family drama things like that. and the rock would help them. With whatever powers the rock has (and of course some physical fitness stuff) He would help people graduate school, get over their sad issues, get a job, find themselves, whatever else. I thought that was just lovely.
It's not hard to see WHY the show got cancelled... I mean it's not exactly entertaining and there's no real reason to tune in week after week. There was no real premise besides just the idea of helping people become better versions of themselves - but that in my eyes is worth of watching. Good for you Rock! I knew what you were going for... or as you might say - " I could smell what you were cooking!" hahahaha lol
Sorry to see you go. It would be nice to see a comeback.
Hi ! Glad you could make it - It's been a strange and cool few weeks for me but I haven't forgotten about you, my truly amazing and gifted readers lol. This time around I'll give you some thoughts and updates on the current conditions of my life, get majorly heady with my take on - DREAMING.. and explain how going to the gym is still awesome.
To start with I'd like to just say that the current trends in my life have been quite TRANSITIONAL. I'm not sure if you can relate, but personally it's been a very informative, albeit painful last few days for me. I saw something earlier that describes it very well - "It's like you've been given angel wings and you're being ripped out of your old life." Or something similar - "There's a time when it becomes too painful to keep existing in your current form." - I've been basically hit in the face with all kinds of things that I feel are about to change, my world around me is reflecting back the answers to my questions, and this kind of thing is going to be on a MAJOR level - like permanent. So try as I might to keep my cool, I can't help but be totally excited and looking forward to what the future has to offer.
I'm currently leaning toward the idea of scrapping the concept of financing a house... It's just not the right time and I feel there are still some "apartment days" I can conjure up, especially while I'm finishing school. What I really need now is Focus, and Alignment.. I will, however, keep a thoughtspace of my intentions well defined - so if and when the time comes for me to become a "homeowner" it will be perfect and hopefully as I always imagined it.
I might be taking "tjwritesitdown" to a different avenue as well... I'd like to harness a more themed out version and give readers something a little more hyped up. I like the idea of keeping occultism as part of it, but then again who knows... I have lots of other ideas and stories I can share , I just need to find the right form and maintain the right outlet. As they say ... it's a work in progress.
For this time around my Esoteric Entry will be something I like to consider truly awesome. In fact, of all the "tools" we can use and incorporate into our proactive union of flesh and spirit - I consider this to be my "strongest" skill. aaaaaaand that skill is called DREAMING.
I'm going to explain DREAMING - what it is, what it means, and how to use it to your advantage (as I have come to understand it.)
You probably understand that when our bodies go to sleep our minds continue to process information, relay information to us, and we ultimately have what we call dream experiences. If you're lucky you can sometimes remember them. If you're like most people you can probably recall a weird dream you've had before (or keep having). Frequently remembering dreams is a great step in the right direction, but not everyone can do this. If you find that you can dream frequently - and actually remember them - you have a good foundation for this.
Consciousness is the name of the game here... Our consciousness is what we use to decipher, acknowledge, and understand our surroundings. In life we go around and have a relationship with the world we live in... in our dreams we do the same, but most of the time it's silly or weird or vague or whatever else because we've never considered the idea that we can actually EXPLORE the dream world.
The first step to this is actually to believe / acknowledge and say to yourself "hey, maybe there is a way I can do this."
There are a lot of people who would scoff at the idea that we can access higher dimensions of ourselves and learn to dream, simply sweeping it all under the carpet of the only known PHYSICAL sciences... but when you start to give things a chance you will soon realize that EVERYTHING must have SOMETHING behind it... this is the nature of the Universe. and DREAMING is just a method of raising your vibration to a bigger aspect of what is here on earth and coming down from the cosmos.
There are differences between the subtle variety of conscious experiences we have while our body is asleep. We can have run of the mill ordinary dreams - something happens, we notice we're in a funny or scary or weird situation or whatever - and things seem to happen AUTOMATICALLY - and that's what most of us call our every day dreams... but every once in a while we have a "lucid dream" - and for a brief few moments we actually realize that we are dreaming. I'm sure if you're over 20 years old you must have had SOMETHING like this happen to you at one point or another. We realize we're dreaming and it becomes kind of cool and interesting for a split second, then it usually derails and we wake up. If we're lucky we get to try out flying cause that's like the first thing everyone goes for.
Eventually if you have enough of these lucid type dreams, learn to trust the experience and so on, you can make some pretty neat things happen. You can learn to fly around, meet a few dream characters, learn to experiment with the environment, etc... and at some point - usually during some unusual circumstances - you will finally achieve a full on ASTRAL PROJECTION - which I have to say, is just the fuckin' coolest, most amazing shit ever.
I'm talking full on mind blowing, LIFE changing experience. This is where your mind / body becomes comfortable enough with whatever mechanism that's taking place and allows your duplicate / "etheric" double to exit your body and explore the astral planes.
Think of a place, an actual real place that "exists" - where all our thoughts come together and maintain a living breathing plane - this is the Astral plane - there are many levels and it's shifting and under a great deal of our control. BUT it's also a real place and totally exists. If you find yourself having an experience like this consider yourself lucky. You are accessing a part of yourself / the universe with GREAT significance.
Imagine going to sleep, and suddenly becoming aware of your surroundings - you think you've woken up - and as u get up, exit your bed, and stretch, you realize it's still your room but things are different. Colors might be different, you might hear odd noises, furniture maybe has moved around. Something is off - but it can't be - you're completely conscious and aware that you just got out of bed. That's when you look back and see your body sleeping. - woah. this can be a little freaky. and is usually the point where we scare ourselves back into our body... Simple piece of advice - if you notice your body sleeping in the bed, instead of freaking out - jump out the window, or exit the room...once you're a good distance away you forget how scary it seems and can really have some fun : )) ) I could write a whole book on this but I won't... Instead - I will just say that this is ENTIRELY possible and one of the most amazing, fun and beautiful hobbies you will ever have.
You will never get separated from your body - you can't - believe me I've tried, and the worst case scenario is you get scared and jolt back into your body, or some form of higher WILL puts you back into your body.
I understand this sounds a little nutty or like on the edge of craziness or something but believe me it's not. This is a real phenomena and you can look it up.
ASTRAL PROJECTION is not as common as regular memorable dreams, but if you want to start working with your own dream exploration here are some helpful tips:
Accept that there is a VERY REAL possibility that when our physical bodies go to sleep, our
minds are able to live and explore higher states of awareness / consciousness.
Keep a journal of the dreams you have -
Learn to decipher your own dream language... We dream in symbols. So whatever
happens must be PERSONALLY meaningful and significant to you in some way or another.
Learn to decipher these symbols.
Trust in the experience - Allow It to happen. It seems counter intuitive to just "give in" to
something... but in a world where like energy attracts like energy, the last thing you want to do is
be fearful, scared, or believe this kind of thing is not possible.
Tell your close friends about your dreams. You never know - you might get lucky. There have
actually been a couple times in my life where I've met people I know in my dreams and we could
in fact describe the same situation or scenario in our waking lives (Careful on this one... there's
a fine line between confiding in a personal friend and just looking like a creeper. lol)
This is a really intense subject - but I hope I helped shed SOME light on the idea. Follow your dreams / become your dreams - and it will trickle down into your waking world and things will be THAT much more amazing. Dreaming is also great practice for learning to trust your inner feelings and intuition.
It's been at least 4 months or so (I can't remember exactly when I started) since I've been an official gym member and going on a routine basis. I think it's fair to say I've been averaging getting a decent work out at least twice a week since I started - even more frequently recently. All in all it's been pretty interesting journey. The thing that's been on my mind though, especially lately, is this all of a sudden river of energy that I feel I've tapped into. It's like at some point something clicks on.
Very "Wow ok so THIIIIISSSS is what it's all about" type of realization. I figure there's a good amount of people out there that go into the idea of fitness so they can start looking better, get some physical results, some self confidence, just be able to lift heavier shit or whatever and don't really think too much beyond that... (I can't front though I mean basically that's what I got into it for as well.) AT some point though, it sort of turns into something a lot more meaningful.
In terms of personal productivity it starts to jump start your vibration. Suddenly things begin to seem a lot more possible, dreams become more tangible, projects and interests start coming up all the time, you feel better more often, etc. It's like joining a secret society of people who figured these things out.
Don't get me wrong... it might not be like "this" for everyone, but it's especially pronounced for me because I JUST came from some pretty LOW places and the contrast is just amazing. It's like holy shit. Also, it's really awesome and refreshing to dive into some PHYSICAL aspects of my world. I feel it bridges the gap and will help even out how much energy / time I place on the NON-physical aspects.
Taking charge of the vessel you're given is like creating the fuel you need to pilot your own destiny. And just about anything is possible right? so let it ride lol. I just thought I'd share my PERSONAL experience for those interested.
To put things into some sort of perspective - I started around Xmas.. (so idk give it atleast 3 months.) I didn't even mess with my diet all that much. I just cut down on shit food and started paying attention to healthier options. Looking back and comparing myself to now, though, I feel way different. I feel it works best if you keep it simple, make it JUST about you. Don't do it for someone else or for any particular reason. Just try it and see what starts happening. For me it's resonated a lot further into my life - into my dreams, my thoughts, my feelings. It's like everything gets upgraded. tj 2.0 .... fuccck me. lol
Next time I think I'll talk about some of the "fitness" shows I've seen on TV... my thoughts and input.
Thanks for reading - Please send me good thoughts and vibrations, as I will for you. So our collective endeavors maintain momentum and bring us full on into Spring. I'm not even done writing this and I already have ideas for what might come next! Here's some music that sort of reflects all this...
"We live in secret, we live in silence.. and we live forever."
