\n

Life inevitably has ups and downs.<\/p>\n

When I was knocked down hard in the past, I stayed down for longer than I needed, because in going all in and coming up short, I didn\u2019t emotionally, mentally and spiritually prepare well enough for the losses and failures.<\/p>\n

The pain, disappointment and devastation hit me harder than I was expecting.<\/p>\n

Add to that, I was curious about the dark. A part of me wanted to know after efforting so much to chase after my mission and purpose since the ripe age of 13, swimming upstream stroke after stroke, overcoming obstacles and resistances day after day, what would happen if I just let all my pushing go and let the river of darkness pick me up off my feet and take me downstream?<\/p>\n

Last year my cycles of initiation were completed. The curiosity satiated. The lies of depression understood. The psychological brush fires painfully burning away all false attachments, to reveal only the indestructible core of my essence.<\/p>\n

Showing me there is literally nothing to fear. Allowing me to journey forth with boundless freedom, unshakeable confidence and inexhaustible enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

An Absolute Truth containing all the energetic undulance of the universe\u2019s inevitable pulsations of expansion and contraction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
