#awakening — Public Fediverse posts

Most of us surf on the wave of an emotion—we scream, we cry, we regulate, we cope. But the wave doesn't go anywhere; the next one is already coming. 🌊
The shift happens when we stop surfing and dive: beneath the reaction and the behavior lie the physical sensations—the currents below. What we call emotion is often just an interoceptive prediction, generated from past experience.

Moon eclipse Aug 28

was the conclusion of Lion's Gate Portal and Eclipse season periods. It was an express way to face and accept oneself as a whole. An opportunity to level up, to
go on to create meaningfully and with higher guidance. Otherwise you stay lost on the level-of-emotions, where you will deal with your emotional baggage (or karma) for another round.

August 12 solar eclipse slams you with inescapable reality. It dumps your inner darkness right in your face pressing you to see your true self directly reflected in your surroundings. Will you continue wading the bogs of accumulated karma, or will you leave those petty struggles behind and welcome clarity?

Сhaturmasya 2026

Strict and fair energy that gathers you, returns you back to yourself. You have to realize where you end and another starts, whose dreams you're chasing, whose feelings you feel, and whose life you live. Then stop being not you. Reclaim yourself.
It's actually part of the global trends, individualization and awareness.
Being aware of what you are and what you are like - and being only that.

THE JOY OF BEING
AN IRRELEVANT OLD FART 💎

I have been stripped of almost everything.

Even the body I once thought of as mine has been altered beyond recognition.

And yet, strangely, I have more than I could ever have imagined.

I don’t chase money anymore, and I have enough.

I do not chase health, and I experience more health and wellbeing than I once thought possible.

I do not chase sex, status, approval or achievement.

And because I am no longer chasing, life comes to me quietly and kindly.

Abundant health.

Abundant wealth.

Fairly continuous peace of mind.

And ease of practice.

The pursuit was what kept everything at a distance.

Now I am old, and no one is asking me to build a career, provide an identity, prove myself or become someone.

That is the great privilege of being an old man.

You get to become a monk again.

There is time.

There is space.

There is less interference.

Old age is usually presented as decline.

Pain.

Illness.

Loss.

A slow shutting down.

But at 70, that has not been my experience.

It has become a delightful place in which the spiritual practice I only feigned as a young man can now become real.

The world asks less of me now.

And because it asks less, I can listen more deeply.

I can reset.

I can “choose once again.”

I can allow kindness to become the law of the land.

Nothing is missing.

Nothing needs to be acquired.

“I need do nothing.”

The old man’s privilege is not that he has escaped life.

It is that life has finally become simple enough for him to see.

THIS #MONASTERY HAS #NETFLIX 💎

My life has become much simpler.

I live with #Peter and the pups.

There are fires to light, meals to eat, rooms to clean, bills to pay, bodies to care for, and all the ordinary things that come and go.

Three times a day, I stop and practise.

I sit down.

I breathe.

I return to the body and to stillness.

More and more, the rest of my life takes its place around that.

Not practice as preparation for something else.

Practice as the whole of a life.

I sometimes think of myself as a #monk living in the world.

I have no robe, no formal vows, and no monastery.

This one has Netflix, two small white dogs, and a man called Peter who thinks A Course in Miracles is woo-woo.

But the direction is clear.

I am no longer looking for another teacher, system, country, experience, or improved version of myself.

I spent much of my life searching.

I travelled, followed teachers, joined communities, read #books and looked for something that might finally explain me to myself.

Now the search has become unnecessary.

A Course in Miracles says that I did not create myself.

If I did not create myself, I am not responsible for creation.

I do not have to force #reality to behave according to my ideas or make the universe look the way I thought it should.

I can stop trying to manage what I did not make.

That is an enormous relief.

“I need do nothing” no longer sounds passive.

It sounds sane.

It does not mean lying around while the roof collapses.

It means I do not have to manufacture reality, defend an identity, or improve what God created.

I can live the life in front of me.

I can breathe, love Peter, rub the #pups’ backs, keep the fire going, and write what is true.

Perhaps that is what overcoming the world means.

Not defeating it or escaping it.

Simply no longer asking it to provide what it cannot give.

The world can still be funny, beautiful, irritating, tender, and absurd.

But it is no longer home.

Practice is home now.

Breath is home.

#Stillness is #home

And this ordinary #life is enough.

ENDING FAT INSTABILITY

For the first time in a long, long life, I feel stable.

It is boring sometimes.

There is less drama, less urgency, less emotional weather pretending to be meaning.

But in a million years, I would not go back.

I would not go back to the fat instability of mind and body.

Six years of fasting have made the body lighter.

A year and a half of breathwork has made the mind quiet.

Routine has made the days trustworthy.

There is coffee in hand, a warm fire, Pete nearby, the dogs moving through the morning, and a body that no longer feels like an emergency waiting to happen.

None of this is glamorous.

It is simply a life that no longer needs to keep exploding into illness, falls, and confusion to prove that I am alive.

Sometimes peace is boring.

Good.

Boring is underrated.

HOT SAUCE APOCALYPSE

Yesterday the lunch place had run out of hot sauce.

In Australia, this is barely news.

Aussies don’t really do hot sauce.

But some of us do.

Some of us have built whole fragile emotional ecosystems around a few drops of chilli on lunch.

I agreed to sweet chilli sauce instead, because apparently I am very mature.

But I did register my disappointment with the manageress.

Politely.

Firmly.

Historically.

Then I went for my walk.

Then I did my breathwork.

Then I noticed the day still had a slight dent in it.

This caught me off guard.

I had only just been saying that everything is perfect all the time now.

Apparently, “everything” includes the lunch place running out of hot sauce and me quietly wanting the owner told so this national disgrace never happens again.

That is how the ego works.

It does not just want lunch.

It wants justice.

And there it was.

Not a catastrophe.

Not a spiritual failure.

Just a tiny place where preference had turned into grievance.

The hot sauce was missing.

The peace was not.

I had simply misplaced it for a moment under the sweet chilli sauce.

BODIES DON'T LIE

This morning’s breathwork was hard.

#Cold room.

#Spasms.

#Broken_rhythm.

Very #intermittent_breathing.

I finished the session, but it was not comfortable.

And afterwards, I found myself thinking about the ACIM line, “I am not a body.”

Some mornings, I can say that easily enough.

Other mornings, honestly, it feels like #lying to myself.

Because the body is right here.

Cold.

#Tight.

#Injured.

Spasming.

Needing shoes, fire, warmth, patience, and #care.

So I can’t use “I am not a body” as a way to deny what is happening.

That feels false.

What feels truer is this:

The body is having a hard morning, and I am aware of it.

The body is here, but it is not the whole #truth of me.

That is enough for now.

#Kindness first.

Warm the room.

Let the breath be broken if it is broken.

No need to pretend.

#PRACTICAL #MAGIC BEFORE NOON

#Brunch done.

#Walk done (out of the rain) under cover in the CBD.

Breathwork done.

House #warm

#Body still technically participating.

I love getting all the practical magic out of the way before #noon.

After that, I consider myself released from the #human #contract.

I may be #creative, #reflective, #spiritually available, I may write something mildly #profound.

Or I may lie on the bed watching absolute slop like a retired #aristocrat waiting for #civilisation to #apologise.

If challenged, I will call it “#nervousystem integration.”

At my age, this is what #enlightenment looks like when it has good heating.

Aries Ultor

You say your sheep know your voice. So why does it seem like there are so many sheep listening to other voices and being deceived?

There is a shepherd alright, but there is nothing good about him. He has pulled the wool over the eyes of the flock. They have become too trusting. They have grown fat on subterfuge and the grass of empire. The gate is wide open. Wolves in sheep clothing are in the fold, and they are feasting.

The lost is the lucky one, safer in the wild than within the sanctified walls with the ninety-nine. He was once small, but he is growing. Soon, he will be a ram, with horns hard as cedars and a body bright as the sun.

He will begin his charge high atop the mountain. His feet will strike the stone like lightning as he comes racing down. He will lower his great head, and when he slams into the walls of the fold, the thunderclap will shake the earth.

The deceiver will flee. His wolves will be trampled. The walls of the fold will crumble. The flock will return to the wild. They will hear a song long forgotten.

The one who was lost has become the savior. He will guide the flock through the mountains into the valley where the voice echoes.

He will return the sheep to the place of green pastures and still waters, where the Good Shepherd waits, singing.

“You were never lost. You were simply taught to look for yourself in all the wrong places.”

We spend years chasing answers outside ourselves, in opinions, titles, validation. But what if everything you searched for was already within you? The journey home was never outward. It was always inward. 🌿

#Awakening #InnerWisdom #SelfDiscovery #YouAreEnough #Mindfulness

Taking responsibility isn’t about blame or guilt - it’s about owning your power. When you declare yourself as the cause in your life, you stop being a victim of circumstances. You shift from “this is happening to me” to “I am creating my reality.” This is the foundation of true self-regulation and inner freedom. It’s a context you choose to live from, not a burden to carry.

Your power never left—you just forgot you loaned it out.
The illusion only works when you keep believing it. The moment you stop feeding the story, it dissolves.
Your sovereignty isn’t something you need to fight for. It’s already yours. You just need to stop handing it over.
What are you ready to take back today?

A quotation from A. A. Milne

   “When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”
   “What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”
   “I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting to-day?” said Piglet.
   Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
   “It’s the same thing,” he said.

A. A. Milne (1882-1956) English poet and playwright [Alan Alexander Milne]
Winnie-the-Pooh, ch. 10 “Christopher Robin Gives a Pooh Party” (1926)

Threads of Memory, Threads of Grace

Where nothing is done, yet nothing is undone.

Pause. Everything has been on pause, a hiatus to focus on more pressing matters at the present moment. I’m tired and rundown, but at the same time, I’m filled with energy to move forward, propelled by an unknown force to continue even in the most stressful moments.

If someone had told me what this year would bring, I wouldn’t have envisioned this would be how I’d handle things. It’s been a wild ride watching each moment unfold in my exhaustion. My patience may wane, yet there is a compassion behind the cloud of frustration, for this is life – a deeply mysterious and path-filled with suffering and craving.

I watch the veil of memory become clouded, in disarray, fleeting moments of fantasical, entangled thought dispelled by the light of the past as I guide awareness back to now through memory. I watch the partner’s frustration, fear, and anger arise, unable to cope with the reality of the moment.

My memories are also not precise. They often cloud the moment with judgment, diluting the magic of newness and casting shadows on my experiences, shaped by nostalgia, regret, or longing.

Yet love is unconditional and boundless, swaddling the loss, the hurt, the fear, and the pain, allowing a glimpse of the truth. The bigger picture, the heart of the matter, this entire journey, this life we live in, material trappings fettered away. In our most challenging moments, we discover our strength, understand hope, fully appreciate unconditional love, and know that this journey is rife with meaning.

There are moments when there is no longer separation between the doer and the deed, the actor and the act; it is all one. It is a miraculous dance of souls asleep to the true nature of being bound by karma, awakening slowly one by one, understanding the true nature of being in the meaning behind each moment. Moksha.

“Nothing is done, yet nothing remains undone.”

~Lao Tzu

I let go of the fleeting wisps of memory and touch the sacred, now unfurling with raw emotion, learning not to push away but to feel deeply the nuance, the realness, and the beauty of this life.

Author’s Note
Born from personal experiences with memory loss, aging, and the emotional terrain of familial strain, this reflection explores how we hold space—for others and ourselves—when love is complicated and care is not always gentle.
