OPEN PERCEPTION vs. EMBOLDENED ASSUMPTION

audio on humility vs. arrogance + real talk and teachings

Humility is strong enough to say I don’t know. Especially when it comes to other people. You just don’t know what someone else is going through-good, bad or ugly. So, don’t assume. Even if your best friend is kind enough to give you a glimmer of what they may be going through, recognize in your humility that it is only a glimmer. You simply don’t know. For our loved ones, we can dignify their reality by holding empathy, actively listening and allowing them to live their lives, openly, in front of us. If they need advice or support, great. If not, let them be themselves without your judgement, assumption or control. 

Anything else is self-righteous arrogance. Come down off that high horse, honey. 

The kind of brain I have usually does not make assumptions, as I can think of a million reasons for anyone to do anything. I’ve found the ego will act all kinds of fucked up ways when it’s deeply wounded. And despite peoples’ earnest desire to be good, to really try— ultimately that wounding will be the catalyst to fucked up and damaging behavior. It seems like it’s become harder for people to see themselves, the last several years. Handle your pain, or it will handle other people before it handles you. Pain makes people more judgemental.

Right now, all those patterns, childhood pain, lack, fear, and suffering are coming up like earthquakes, as it has been for some time. If you need support managing energy, emotionally processing your life experiences, and rewiring your brain— call me. My work circulates life into your body, field and life. I’ve got this cool thing where I don’t market. And people who I am meant to work with find me. It’s been the most stable thing in the world, just giving it to God and opening my heart and dedication to my soul mates.

Back to assumption… the only real reasons I can think of to make assumptions is if you are in danger and that assumption is there to save your life, for example if you are being abused in some way, etc. Or, perhaps, if it is part of some kind of board game, or even trend forecasting as a career in some aspect. Etc. 

However in your personal daily life, people who assume are generally assholes.

You can also cast an evil eye on a situation, or a form of a dark spell, when you assume the worst about someone. The energy you send keeps them down. Hold space for the best of the best, and for light. Assume the best about everyone and everything as a practice and see what happens. Eh, just for fun. 

People who are uncomfortable with themselves, as well as the unknown, people who are highly insecure, and those who have developed a need to dominate as a defense mechanism somewhere in childhood — are usually the most assumptive. You can dominate covertly/passively or aggressively/openly. For the intuitively gifted— don’t use your gift as a spiritual bypass for etiquette, common sense and maturity. Poor form. And as Emerson says, “the dice of God are loaded”. Besides, being gifted doesn’t mean you are mature or wise at all. One must tame themselves. So, really, being even more connected to the realms of the invisible give me even more reason to remain non-judgmental and open. There’s more and more and more and more out in the wondrous worlds of light and energy that inform this 3D density. We really do not know. 

And you know what else, it takes more energy from your life force to act like you always know; to make assumptions, to need to control. And I don’t have that kind of energy to waste. Again, when you’re aware and receiving energy from God Source why would you waste that on lower vibrations? It’s too much purposeless, emotional work that wastes energy.

I’ve been blessed with focus, a pure heart and a LOT of information and spiritual experience. Still, I don’t know. It could absolutely be. I could lay a bet via an educated guess based in deductive reasoning and 10k + intuitive insight repetitions. And yes what people see as intuitive is scientific to me. I have my ideas about the world and cosmos. I orchestrate my reality. I have consciousness. But I am always open. As it is exciting to realize new things that advance your understanding and the paradigm of the last era becomes irrelevant or a building block to a more expansive intelligence. Intelligence evolves just like life and the Universe.

Assumption castrates the possibility of miraculous, divine, intervention. It’s just jackass shit. 

Do you assume that because it’s always been like that, this will continue? Anything you assume reflects who you are. 

I suppose it was part of my path to go the opposite way of assumption. If I had to guess I’ve created more problems for myself from being naively open and trusting to a fault. I’m good at reading energy, and knowing when there’s bullshit versus light; but I’m not the greatest at subtext or communicating with people who don’t say what they mean. You know, passive aggressive shit. Petty weird, manipulative shit. No comprendo. So I learned I don’t know and to never assume. And that I fuck with direct, honest, people who are in tune with their hearts and themselves so there’s no bullshit. And issues that arise are resolved honestly without judgement. Boom— issues erased by understanding and love! It’s a great deal to have that in life: heart centered people, that is. 

I went the opposite direction of assumption because people have been confused or triggered by me my whole life, walking karma, walking mirror, walking light torch — and, you know, people don’t always like that. We know this now. I have no doubt some of you have experienced this too. When people love ya mostly but to some, your existence just makes them go nuts. It’s a threat. So, I internalized that growing up and into adulthood. I’ve dealt with the onslaught of bullying and assumption from people that miss the plot so hard I am absolutely speechless at their perception of reality. Ain’t nothin’ to say. I don’t ever want to cause harm by an ignorant assumption and hurt someone’s feelings. But I also know those people who cast stones are in pain and just plain ‘ole triggered. Assumption is an attempt to seek a false form of safety by creating a narrative that dissolves the unknown. Now that there is a story, there is a reason and an answer - I don’t have to sit in uncertainty about myself or a situation. I feel better now! I figured it out. You’re bad. I’m good. Problemo solved. Moving along…

If you really don’t know what’s up and it’s not your movie or place to be involved - what’s the point? It’s false certainty. Certainty is key to life! But it’s not about being certain about what’s happening next, or having certainty about people, or certainty about our career specifics or life paths. We have to be certain in God’s plan! The divine has great blessings for us. It’s not about being certain in our own stories about life and people. I’ve probably spent more of my life confused rather than in some sort of assumption. On the contrary I’ve had to be coached and study neurotypical social value to understand the constant assumptions people make about life, society, culture and live by them as a rule. Often they make no sense to me an are based on superficialities, lies or nonsense. I do not see social hierarchy. Had to learn about this stuff folks! I see souls. Universes. I see amps. I notice whose got a twinkle in their eye for me, and if mine twinkles back. I look for sparks of light and play and I look for kindred spirits; those who mutually support my evolution, life and well being. Who can meet me? How can I expand my consciousness and become stronger from this experience? Does this support my higher self and life? Am I laughing and having fun. Am I talkative? I’m super quiet and aloof around a lot of people and then others bring out my inner fairy cartoon. And those people are my people. I simply love them! Instantly!

But most people aren’t like that. They look at the world differently and they’re largely unconscious of it. They’re out to get something. Unconsciously, they steal people’s light. Over do it to look good to important people. They want to kiss ass to big money like embarrassing, infantile savages. False idolatry. I suppose to associate with the periphery of privilege creates an illusory bridge into which the psyche can dance. Milk a manifestation. Sure. Nothing wrong with abundance and wealth. We love this! However, using other people’s personal financials as a social measuring system to determine who is going to be in your life is well, disgusting. I see people do this consciously and unconsiouly. So, check your fear and lack and if its bleeding out into your behavior. It’s so strange. Assumption and superficial admiration is all ego based agenda to move up a hierarchy that doesn’t even exist. The matrix has people completely stunted into obsessing, glorifying and fetishizing false power. But I am so happy shit has collapsed and people are waking up. 

Why not choose to be around people who make you feel good and open your heart? 

The point is to love others from the heart center, versus prioritizing people based on superficial ideologies of power. Don’t you know you are God’s child, and we all have different lessons? I’ve probably offended people not knowing who is a celebrity. Who has the money and power. I know who is a match for me. I must connect on a soul level. That is where truth is. And from that space of truth I’ve attracted a fair number powerful and wealthy people into my life. I just didn’t know it because I DON’T FUCKING CARE. Haha! I care about if we laugh together. I care if my nervous system relaxes in your presence. I care if you are cool and can make good jokes on the fly in case we happen to get heckled by my favorite comedian. How are your dance moves bro? Do you show up in times of need. Are you reliable? Do you honor your word. Show up. Call back. Clean your side of the street. Keep it real. Everything else is performative and performative shit is exhausting for people who keep it real. Ya know… 

I have to connect soul to soul or else the manifestation is empty. There’s no fruit. You not going to win if you’re looking outside yourself for the big it. The biggest thing I have learned is that it only takes my heart full of God’s love to manifest according to a higher will. If your connection in business, romance, or friendships are performative or off, even a couple of degrees, you won’t be able to create the most powerful manifestation available. The amps really have to be there, and then shit pops off. You know corporations really should incorporate more psychological profiling and energy types into creating your work culture. People should be rewarded for being evolved and kind because they will bring light to your operating system. I remember when I was a kid I could always get a job on a set. No matter what. It’s like it wanted me. Everyone wanted to talk to me, even as a nobody. Directors would find me and sit me next to them. They didn’t know, but they knew. It was the energy they wanted around to keep things running smoothly. You’ll know you’re in the right place at the right time because you always are. And you’ll know your soul is in a moment of revealment, or metaphorical summer, because the people around you are buoyant, joyful and bring life and light to your world. Projects lift up. Life arises. You arise. And you don’t have people bringing bullshit and lies for you to hold up. No slander, gossip, assumption, jabs, narky selfish projectors and the like. 

Be the light and love you want to summon. Just embody it. That’s the only job. And sometimes things come up and get in the way of that. The light is still there, and even more so in the dark. It’s there to guide you through alchemizing and letting go of things that do not support your light. This entire life is about light work y’all! All of it. Dang… 

But, we are where we are as a species. The species is where it is. That’s cool. Usually people will align with others based on superficial stuff. It can be lonely for the authentic, the real and the powerful. But don’t worry, God protects you when you need to be concealed. God places you exactly where you need to be at all times. But, bless their hearts, people don’t always know when they are seeking external validation because the mechanistic, subconscious program of unworthiness or lack is so deeply ingrained. People reach for these things because they need to be accepted or venerated or esteemed in some way by people and institutions. A lot of people will very sweetly and nicely use people for some sort of personal gain. It’s glaringly obvious. At least to me. Usually agenda is full of assumption. That means the ego is guiding, control itself took the wheel, versus the higher self. 

Did you know that light travels on breath? And when people say don’t waste your breath, take it as: don’t waste your precious life force. Casting pearls before swine, and so forth. Learning to not make assumptions requires a deep sense of trust and an even deeper sense of neutrality. Neutrality comes with self-mastery. So, learning to sort of be cool, let people live, stay in your lane and be a kind person— all these things are born of emotional intelligence and self mastery. You portray that you are educated, autonomous, and have a high self esteem when you are open minded in your perceptions and when you are understanding and loving towards others, without trying to be seen as a do-gooder. Because trying to be something you’re not is uncomfortable for the people around you. People can feel it. So you have to actually become it if you want to call in authentic people. Otherwise, stay happy with the fakers and the posers and the haters. And honestly, shoot, I don’t judge that. I just choose my people and rooms wisely. 

Assuming things about other people’s lives is narcissistic and limited. Being emboldened enough to cling to your assumptions, gossip, and slander takes on another level of karma. No gracias. I’d rather be loving and humbly know that I don’t know.

Being open, non-judgmental, and pure is the most magnetic and sexy thing in the world. People are stunned by it. So go be a total stunner ;) People can feel when you are an open, true heart. Deep down people desperately thirst for the pure, for an encouraging word. If you are this naturally, you know it because people always want a piece of you. One must be boundaried when you have a certain quality of light. But I encourage you deeply to harness your own inner light and make it brighter. Unfortunately in this society I have to explain that shining your light bright has nothing to do with fame or celebrity. It has to do with your quality of radiance and how you make people feel. It is a great gift to offer others pure light. And sometimes when we become burdened by the pains of the world, it can provide a sense of peace and contentment to strive, just for one day, to be open and compassionate to everyone you meet and every thought you think. It feels lighter to leave your judgement at the door. Beckon authentic radiance, my friends, and the pure souls will always find you. 

Remember, it’s easier to be a leader than to follow. 

Keep it real. Keep it classy. And Keep it pure. And good things will come. It’s true blue. I love you.
