CURRENT MISSION

to feel gratitude in every moment.

ABOUT ME

I am all about compassion and unconditional love. I'm just a soft monster practicing the art of adventure and exploring the world. I want to wallow in the wake of every beautiful little piece of the universe.

PHILOSOPHY

You already are enlightened. It’s like so: there lies enlightenment at your very roots. As if there at the heart of all that you are is a shelf.. enlightenment is the shelf itself. But there on top of it you have stacked dust and knowledge, books, knick-knacks.. And so in the grand pursuit to find it again you must not go stacking more knowledge and materials upon the shelf, but clean it instead. You simply must clear off the dust, the knowledge and knick-knacks, un-learn and un-think, undress your spirit. That is the whole secret. You need not search the whole world for the key to awakening; simply clear yourself off to your raw state of being.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a good day I'll have at least seven of these moments. So let's see.. the other day I saw a woman buy gas for a man in need. It was beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

Carry a profound love for those who inflict suffering and pain upon you; They are only able to do so because they contain such suffering and pain within. To respond from a place of light rather than react from darkness will help the darkness within to also become light.

*It is easy to forget in the moment, so try every day to remember: each negative vibration sent your way, each hurtful thing that is invoked upon you, can only come to you because the source is hurting or feeling negative. Instead of becoming infuriated or encapsulating the same energy, feel compassion for these hurting beings, and shine light upon them.. without taking responsibility for them. As in, from your own natural state of being, remain neutrally charged and un-grasping, so that you may offer light, but not become discouraged if the source does not immediately take recognition. Do what you can as the moment presents itself to you, and do not chase after it down the stream once it passes. Give what you may as it floats over you, but do not swim out toward it before it has reached you, and do not swim after it once it has carried on. You see?
