Dan serves as a channel of emergent wisdom, and is deeply tuned into the underworld of our human experience.
I was interviewed on a podcast recently, and afterwards I had a mini contraction. The reason – I was speaking into my life experience, and how much I seem to be ‘in the mystery’, forever rolling through change after change…
The afterthoughts of ‘how that will be perceived’ and the general bullshit chit-chat that can arise after putting oneself out there in the world for anyone to tune into at any stage of the game – especially when my world view seems to be able to change in an instant – was the core of it all.At times I feel like I’m only a decent humbling or shattering away from a complete overhaul in my world view.One of the infinite intricacies of the mystery…The truth is, from the outside lens, my life, and my past, can not only seem like a complete shit-show, even now, like I’m still wandering the earth searching for purpose, it’s the exact opposite of that – One in which I’m being enriched at THE deepest level by letting go of all definitions I have of myself. By interfacing with life, my shadows and the mystery at a more and more fascinating level as time goes on.This is where I’ve found the greatest yield in personal growth to be, and the ultimate feeling of being ‘ON purpose’ there is.
Life gives me set periods of focused & structured time in which to work and weave with the humans that I’m connected with…Then, it will clear the slate and give me what feels like the furthest polarity of that experience – The Void.I’m cool with it – Even though the shame button can get pressed fairly efficiently when I don’t have the answer to…Whats next?What are you doing?Where do you go from here?What’s your grand plan Dan the man?!!More so in the past, yet I still catch it at times… The ping of the collective conditioning that we SHOULD know…Know who we are.Know what we’re doing..Know the long term plan…
Truth is, apart from my work with people and in the world – in which I’m grateful that I can ‘switch on’ and then switch back off and continue the inward spirals and flows – I don’t know, most of the time.I believe we’re not meant to know. Not nearly as much as we think we do and have been conditioned to.My ‘grand deconstruction’ has been so deeply themed in pulling apart the internal ‘safety programs’ of mentally controlling every single aspect of my environment, my relationships, my life, what other people think of me (HA!) etc… that I now seem to reside on the other end of the spectrum.Fully surrendered to existence.From this space, there doesn’t seem to be any going back.Granted I may find more equilibrium as time goes on, it’s bound to be the case, yet for now I know I’m living life how I’m designed.
I’m choosing to keep following this grand mysterious flow, because I know that life demands it of me.If I was living in another way I wouldn’t be true to myself or my intuitive senses – I’d be attempting to fit into a box which I’m not designed to fit…An impossibility.
I’m precisely where life requires me to be, and this is how I’m in the greatest flow of the real grounded magic on offer.The sweet spot where synchronicity reigns supreme and reminds me on the daily, through my interfacing with life and the people I’m constantly coming into connection with, that I’m on its pulse.
Even if I don’t ‘know’ anything.I’m not saying that everyone should live by this code, I don’t believe it’s in the script. Yet there would be many humans out there waiting for a deeper invitation to let go of the reigns a bit.
To dwell more in the not-knowing – Where our deepest living wisdom resides.
It’s an initiatory path this one, an experience in which I get to interface with life, and my inner world at the rawest possible level.
There’s no anchor points to cling to for a false sense of safety – Life continues to pull them out, one by one if they don’t serve my greater purpose on earth.It takes everything away.By design.
To be pulled into the underworld at any stage and be forced to face my inner demons and the things that lie underneath the busy-ness of life and of my ‘knowing’ anything.
It’s the force that strips me back of all I’ve ever known and of all ideas I have for myself, my goals and my aspirations.It has demanded I even let go of even my closest intimate relationships that I was very happy & comfortable within. Anything that doesn’t serve this greater trajectory & tapestry of the whole thats weaving way outside of my conscious awareness.It is constantly informing me that life knows best.To let go of the reigns and TRUST.And trust, is precisely what is able to be cultivated at a profound level by interacting with life in this way.
It’s a never ending journey of experiences & embodiment.For me there is no end to where life will keep on inviting me into, to be stripped back even further, so I can be in the grooves that IT requires ME to be, not where I THINK I should be, and so I can be the best that I can be.To constantly come back to the truth that I don’t know ANYTHING.And that’s where we get to revel, if we have the courage…
In the not-knowing.
In the mystery.
With the all-encompassing & profound intelligence of life guiding the way.
To continuously cultivate the ability to be still, to listen inwardly and to then have the courage to follow our inner guidance out into the world and onto our own unique path that may not look even remotely like anyone else’s…
That’s where it’s at.👣✌️💚
