Just Be Yourself? To Grow Faster, Do This Instead

March 1, 2024

Ever heard the advice to “just be yourself” and found it worthless? Me too! Today’s new video shares a fresh take on how to engage with situations where you may feel like a fish out of water. I invite you to take a deeper look at your identity, self-concept, and mental and emotional flexibility. This…

The Most Counterintuitive Growth Skill

February 22, 2024

Here’s a new video for you to enjoy about an important self-development skill that people often overlook. It’s only 6 minutes and fast-paced throughout. I edited it with a very different style than I’ve ever done before, so you’re surely going to be surprised. Just watch the first 15 seconds to see if it resonates…

My Shroomie Depeche Mode Concert Experience: An Extraordinarily Beautiful Night

February 13, 2024

On December 1st, 2023, I took some magic mushrooms two hours before a Depeche Mode concert (from their Memento Mori tour). I created a new 8-minute video to share what that experience was like – deeper, richer, and more beautiful than I’d imagined. I think it’s the best video I’ve made thus far. My Letter…

The Spiritual Meaning of Illness

January 31, 2024

Several days after I posted the 2024 Intentions video, I succumbed to an illness – fever, aches, pains, chills, runny nose, sneezing, coughing, nausea, etc. At Rachelle’s suggestion I took a COVID test – and tested positive. Whoa! This was my first time getting COVID (as far as I’m aware). I’ve been vaccinated and double-boosted,…

2024 Intentions

January 16, 2024

After nearly 20 years of blogging about self-development, this year I intend to contribute mainly through video instead of writing, which is a big change for me. I want this to be the first year that I publish more new videos than articles. I’ll still share new YouTube videos via my blog, but if you’re…

Beyond Bravery: The Trust Bridge to Genuine Courage

November 8, 2023

Here’s a new 8-minute video I created to share a harmonious way to build and exercise your courage – one that doesn’t require pushing through fear and resistance.

Two Weeks of Purging, Releasing, and Opening

September 28, 2023

Integration of my recent MDMA journey has been going well and keeping me busier than I expected. It actually feels like I’m still going through that journey. I sense that the energies involved knew that I’d have two weeks to myself with Rachelle out of town (she’s visiting family in Canada and returns tonight), so…

Money Is a Psychedelic Too

September 27, 2023

Money is actually psychedelic. Let me ‘splain… Money isn’t as intense as the psychedelics you put directly into your body – physical consumption changes the intentionality – but money still behaves very much as a psychedelic substance. Money responds powerfully to set and setting, the set being your mindset and the setting behind the environment…

My First MDMA Journey (Solo)

September 16, 2023

Yesterday I had my first MDMA journey, alone. I had planned to do it about two weeks in advance, knowing it was going to be a big deal for me. It was not what I expected. But I think it was the most remarkably life-shifting experience I’ve ever had. I can tell it changed me…
