  • Allow Yourself to Be Multifaceted

    Sometimes there’s different energies in you at a given period, each pulling in its own direction. Allow yourself to be multifaceted and express them all at different times. You don’t have to be consistent and always follow only one, even if it feels like the energies “contradict” each other. Allow for contradictions. You can be complex – be one thing in one moment and another thing in the next. It’s okay to be like that.

    Being consistent is overrated. Be a multifaced god without shame. Embrace your many-sidedness.

  • Being a Bro to Yourself Across Time

    It’s nice to be a homie for yourself across time. It’s when you e.g. do something now that future you will benefit from, and then you appreciate yourself for that in the future. You’re like: “thanks for that man, good to have you around”.

    Or when you arrive at some situation repeatedly in your life and you recognize the comradery with yourself in that. It’s like: “here again, huh? Come join the club!”. This can be most easily established if you have a ritual (daily, weekly, etc.) at a set place and time. You sense that you’re joined by past versions of you at that same spot again and again. The more you do it, the larger the community of you grows. ;)

    You can literally feel companionship with yourself. Isn’t that crazy?

    I call it being intertemporal. It’s being aware of yourself across time and treating this “whole you” with respect. In contrast, having the attitude of “that’s future me’s problem” is being not intertemporal and a jerk to yourself. Don’t be that.

    Do things that future you(s) will thank you for. Appreciate the past you(s) for what they led you to. And if you don’t like what you were led to, break the chain now. Start making choices that future you(s) will appreciate. It’s current you on whom the responsibility always rests to change.

    In truth, there’s only ever now so this whole concept is a bit wacky, but 1) there’s still truth to it in terms of right conduct in life and 2) it’s fun. Be a little playful with yourself, cuz what else is there to do?

  • Strive to Recognize People’s Strengths More

    The golden rule: Treat others as you would want to be treated.

    Set an example of being attentive, caring and recognizing people’s strengths. Be more of what you’d like to see in the world. It can start with you.

    It’s actually fun to look for people’s strengths. There’s beauty in everyone and when you dig long enough (through listening to them and observation), you are sure to find a gem. A trait that you can genuinely appreciate and learn from. It’s a cool game to play: striving to see at least one beautiful thing in every person you know.

    Everyone is God and it’s a blessing.

  • Be Around People That Recognize your Strength

    Sometimes your close people will notice strength in you that you yourself didn’t see before.

    It’s a gift to have people around you who are attentive, perceptive and caring. Shoutout to my sister! I love you.

    Consider leaving relationships in which you’re unseen, unheard and unappreciated. It’s a drain that isn’t worth your time.

  • Forgive Yourself for Delusionality

    Notice your delusionality. How you start thinking that things will go a certain way. How you force yourself into things because you’re just sure that it’s what you want now. How you become engrossed in the narratives you spin.

    Bring that to awareness again and again. You’re constantly delusional and you can’t seem to change it. It must be frustrating. Cry it out if you feel like it.

    There comes a point when you stop judging it though. You understand it in yourself and feel compassion for others who are like it. 

    If you made mistakes from delusion, have mercy on yourself and let the regret go. It couldn’t have happened differently. There’s nothing to do but learn from it and surrender it.

    Forgive yourself. Forgive yourself for poor choices. Forgive yourself for delusionality.

    In truth, all your choices were loved. Because they happened. And Reality is Love.

  • Be Conscious of Your Actual Relationship with Steerage

    How much are you actually following Steerage in Reality and letting it materialize?

    No pressure. You don’t need to change anything now. Just become conscious of what’s true.

    For me, in terms of doing it consciously, I feel like it’s <1% of waking life. For someone talking about Steerage so much that can be shameful to admit. I had a 3-month period when I was consciously maybe reaching 10%. In the last month or so, on some days the share may have been 1-3%.

    In regard to assessing unconscious Steerage following, you can do that case-by-case by remembering particular things you did and looking into what motivated you. If the answer is your mind “glitching” and trying to compute something that it truly can’t, it was probably Steerage.

    Just be honest with yourself about how much you’re actually embracing God. Sensing the possibility of following Steerage/God is the first step, but what matters is actually surrendering to it. Take the leap!

  • On Energetic Belief

    What you energetically believe in materializes. You allow the energies you’re convinced by to act through you. What you’re not convinced by cannot be and is never manifested through you.

    But what is energetic belief, essentially? What does it mean to “buy into” an energy?

    It means that you’re convinced of its validity = of its TRUTH. That is REALITY according to you. You think that it’s how things are and how YOU are, so you consider it sacred, you invite it into yourself, you want to be devoted to it and you want to BE IT by letting it act through you. In short, you always want to give yourself away to your idea of YOU.

    Anything you’re inviting into yourself to and allowing to act through you is your personal god. So, who are your gods? And how much do they align with God/Reality in front of you? Are they even remotely similar?

    Notice how Steerage is silent and guides you simply through action in Reality. That should be a clue to whether it’s closer to Reality/God than the various loud and dense energies you buy into and constantly choose.

    Sigh, I wouldn’t be such a dummy if I had God as my only god. Regretfully I still have multiple. And if most people had God as their only god, there’d be Heaven on Earth.

  • Be Conscious of Hyping Yourself Up to Change

    Sometimes you might notice yourself hyping yourself up in the direction of something you want to get to. It’s like you want to speed up your development process by insisting a thing on yourself.

    It may feel harmless when you’re insisting on something “good” and positive. Let’s say you’re past a bad breakup which you haven’t fully processed yet and you’re saying to yourself: “We don’t need them! We’re good by ourselves, it’s going to be amazing! I am feeling just fine right now!”.

    But maybe you’re not feeling fine and you do in fact feel like you need them. It’s better to come back to just acknowledging reality again and again, instead of forcing something that’s not yet the case.

    Watch out for telling yourself things like:

    • “Everything is fine. I’m going to be alright!” – when you’re severely emotionally distressed.
    • “I do want to find a new job! I do want to earn more! It’s entirely possible for me!” – when you feel zero actual motivation to look for a new job and nothing is being done by you in reality.
    • “I will find myself a new girlfriend! I am worthy! It’s certain that I will meet the right person eventually!” – when you’re feeling unworthy, lonely, needy and desperate deep inside.

    Notice the discrepancy between what’s insisted vs the reality.

    Hyping something up doesn’t make it true. You can’t force change into existence. The only path to real growth is through loving and embracing what is currently the case – only then will the truth about you morph into something new.

  • You Are God, but You’re Not Special

    It’s true that you are God, and that what’s happening now is ALL there is. Verify this by awakening your consciousness to this fact, e.g. through intense meditation retreats, yoga or psychedelics.

    But beware of your ego hijacking this understanding. You are NOT special. You’re not smarter than others. You’re not some sort of messiah.

    In fact, others will very often be smarter than you. Because guess what? They are Reality/God. And God is always above you. (Both this and being God is true.)

    So don’t fall into the delusion that it’s about you personally. Because it’s not. But also… it kind of is.

  • To Feel Power, Align Yourself With It

    You don’t really “get” power. You align yourself with where it is.

    In personal life, aligning with power means allowing your genuine desires/will to move you. When trying to force something that is not real, you are powerless.

    In politics, aligning with power means channeling the will of the people. You get elected when you represent what moves them. This is why politicians must have an keen sense of the mood of their base and play into it.

    Move to where power (energy) is and you have it.

  • Laughing at Lower Consciousness Is Normal

    Laughter is a natural impulse in the face of typical behaviour of a consciousness state that you are above of in the moment. When you’re genuinely in higher consciousness, the mechanical conduct of a lower state will amuse you.

    This is why the limited behaviour of animals can often makes us laugh. “Aww, it’s so stupid!”. It’s why when I sometimes come across a person very narrowly-minded and ideological (no matter what ideas), I cannot help but laugh inside. It’s also why sketches/cartoons like Mr. Bean or Looney Tunes (eg. Road Runner vs Wile E. Coyote) are funny. The coyote is so obsessed and narrowly focused on the road runner that his actions become entirely counter-productive, which is what often happens in lower consciousness.

    Every being is greatly intelligent and this can always be appreciated, but it’s also true that beings are in different states of consciousness and some are higher than others. And when you see “dumb” less conscious behaviour, you’re likely to have an impulse of laughter to it. And that’s alright.

  • Be in Action Most of the Time

    Use most of your each day for the active release of energy.

    Whenever an energy/motivation arises to do something, go with it. No matter what it is. And when there’s nothing arising, be quiet and don’t distract yourself. Something will come about eventually.

    It’s a surefire way to get closer and closer to your goals everyday.

    Don’t spend your prime time doing bullshit and consuming content. You can have some of that when you’re used up for the day in the evening.

  • There Is Always a Third Way

    Sometimes we can get caught up in the duality of choice when making life decisions – either X or Y. This can ensue when the mind tries to control what’s happening and feels obliged to make choices by itself.

    And this can feel very stressful. You feel extreme pressure from 1) not knowing what to do but insisting that you should know and 2) being locked in a limited range of options.

    The feeling of pressure is completely understandable, but fortunately it’s based on false assumptions. You have to realize that it’s not your call. The reality of you (and what you want) is what is here already. There is no choice to make – it’s already made! The real work is to accept it, face the emotional difficulty, surrender and go to where the reality is. Steerage/Guidance will move you there, if you let it.

    And Steerage will often move you into a third path, one you couldn’t have conceived on your own. Not necessarily a middle one – maybe a different one altogether.

    The secret is that there is ALWAYS a third path. There is always the way of God, which you can proceed with being led through at any moment. God creates a path where there is none and walks you through it.

    If that’s not Hope, I don’t know what is!

  • Do Things for Fun

    Essentially, doing something for fun means doing it for it’s own sake. Not with the intent to achieve a secondary goal.

    What do you want to do just because? What are you being guided towards?

    Some examples of what personally feels like fun for me:

    • Doing the work in romantic love, resolving conflicts with a partner, going through tests of character, getting to know myself
    • Going on walks in nature to wind down, talking to Reality to release tension, cleansing myself from hardship
    • Having small-talk with strangers, flirting with women, being in my own energy in public
    • Cycling, playing badminton, doing bicep curls at the gym, cardio
    • Coming up with ideas for topics & writing this blog <3
    • Exploring new places in an active way

    I think the goal is to surrender into Steerage so much that you enjoy doing basically anything. You’re not doing things for a secondary goal when you’re not controlling anything in your mind. You’re just going with where Guidance throws you.

    Life feels richer when you do more things just for doing them.

  • Dress How You Feel Looks Cool

    What do you think looks good on you? Try things on yourself and observe your reactions.

    This comes back to being curious about who you are again. Listen to yourself. Observe what quietly excites you when you see it.

    Sometimes you need to give yourself a bit more time to assess the genuine feeling. Your eyes might have to get used to what they’re looking at.

    Discover your real taste and let it flourish.
