Coffee seems to be one of the most helpful substances I have found to ease my pain in the middle of the night, so last night I ...

Decided to test my theory and have a mug of Bulletproof coffee right before bed.

(I slept for 7 hours as compared to the 2-4 I've been getting for over a month now)

Xmas cheer  Thank you, Angela

You rise.

You feel into the heart break and you let it burn.

You feel that burn, and you let its flames throw you 

up against the walls of your fear, 

and then you let it blaze through them.

You cry, you roar, you bellow.

You let it rip through and unclog your brilliance.

You beg to be unleashed, 

and you mastermind your own unleashing.

You let your Soul take over.

You allow the dismantling of your conditioned collusion 

with the world views that manage and minimize 

your magnificence.

You refuse to follow the crowd, 

unless that crowd are screamingly alive 

and activated on behalf of the life that lives us.

You find every gaze that meets you with

'I know - I'm awake - I'm here - and I'm ready' 

and you say YES.

You demand only your deepest authenticity,

the kind that electrifies, illuminates, lays waste to pretense, 

walks permission, cries loudly, renders shame irrelevant, 

chooses total, naked truth.

You recognize with every cell of your being 

that we are being called out of apathy and slumber,

to remember and rediscover who and what we really are,

living breathing elements of this Earth, 

fully woven into an intelligence 

that has evolved for billions of years,

with access to that intelligence,

with limitless potency,

if only we turn inside and reconnect...

You say yes to the gauntlet laid down.

You prepare to astonish yourself.

And then you Rise

And then you Rise

And then you Rise

And then we Rise.
