My spiritual journey started at 15

Because I didnt have a choice.

I didnt find it.

It found me

A THREAD/

1.

I was 15. A junior in high school

I couldnt sleep

I had these nagging nightmares

So I'd stay up as long as I could

Till one day I decided to meditate

2.

Theres no youtube back then

on dial up service

No books in the library

Screw it, wing in

3.

What started as a cure for sleep

Brought me down branching paths I cant mention on twitter

Meditation lead to lucid dreaming

That lead me into psychology books and medical books

4.

This is something I did before bed. If I slept

I would do for years. Still do

Until I realized this quirky thing I did

Was a thing

I became ordained as a means to help my cousin in wedding photography

5.

That unrelated minister path

Just became relevant

Then I went to college for criminal justice

6.

My degree helps my in my 9-5

But I learned, history, civics, human behavior and psychology

Everything I learned improved what I was doing on the side

7.

Ok, cool. Let's go further

Criminal justice is a human services degree

I was able to go get professionally certified in spiritual counseling

I just put professional letters in my name.

Because I couldnt sleep at 15

8.

I had learned people skills in my prior job as a dept. Manager in a grocery store

I learned that I'm adept in 3 major forms of intelligence

Interpersonal

intropersonal

Existential

9.

I have a lifetime journey

Because I meditated at 15

And trust me, at 15

I was doing it wrong

10.

I initially wanted to help with that.

With meditation

Affirmations

Prayer

Attracting wealth

11.

I have the real skills to help in this

But I was told it was confusing

And wouldn't work here

So I started ebook reviews

12.

But I still see a lot of lost and confused people

Eating poor advice like candy

Because they get sucked into a shallow mindset

Of what

Wealth

Success

Manhood

Etc

Are

13

But its different for everyone

In truth, there are no "normal " or " regular people "

On your journey

It's just you, on your journey

Navigating your own unique circumstances

Much like mine

14

Maybe you're still here or not.

But that's ok

I was here in a dream 2days ago

Mindset. Motivation. Meditation

I have a lifetime of experience

In that

And its deeper than "dont be a bitch"

15

Truth

If you only do X to avoid Z

If you only pray to avoid hell

Then you dont understand prayer

Or that hell that you're running from

16.

Life is more complicated

Than a warrior or monk or stoic mindset

Human psychology has changed drastically since those concepts

Hell, in the past 30 years

17

So if YOU really want to start to understand yourself

Dont sell yourself short

The path isnt easy or simple

It's not even curved

It's a series of segmented experiences

And it's worth your time to explore

Maybe I can help
