Feeling Stuck For Your Soul and Studiously Stagnant in a Tiny Tight Intellectual Box, Leave The Screen, The Busy Bullshit Burdens and Simply Return Back to The Simplicity of Thriving.

By LUCEAT LUX VESTRA Tony Searl
"Lately I am reflecting on how many humans have been medicated or diagnosed or institutionalized for having a human experience that is outside of the box of what is considered “normal” and “healthy”.
How many mystics and geniuses have not been understood.
How many people having a healthy response to trauma have been deemed pathological or broken.
How deeply we reject the speaking through wounds when wounds are open mouths that have things to speak.
How binding and limiting our understanding of psychological health is. 
How little reverence we hold for the wild initiations of chaos and psyche that erupt from the human soul.
How much therapy has been prescribed for people who really needed art or revolutions or an accurate mirror for their brilliance.
The cruelty of fixing what was never broken. The cruelty of limitations and attempts to cure.  
The wisdom of what breaks us down and cracks us open to reveal The Authentic Self. 
How many problems we have tried to solve through the linearity of understanding rather than the curiosity that has faith in the wonderful free spirals of direct lived experience.
How much we have lost through our attempts to fit reality into a studious box of "knowing". 
When the untamed phenomena that speaks wisdom through the shadowy landscapes of soma requires such tender listening.
How tamed humans have become in trying to fit inside a box called normal.

Everything we need is already inside us.

  Joy of Simplicity Our work is based on the shamanic belief that there are three planes of existence: the Upperworld, the Middleworld, and the Underworld. For too long we have focused on the Middleworld, or the physical plane and its materialistic and egocentric pursuits. (Profits and do whatever it takes, exploitative parasitic relationships with Self, Other and Nature, relentless projections of extractive capitalism, cult of personality and guru worship, cultural appropriation and racism, et al)  We’ve also focused too much on the Upperworld, or realm of Spirit, emphasizing the importance of attaining enlightenment, another ego projection sold in many cults and/or new age religions ("love and light" of spiritual bypass, "new cages" who ignore the dark shadow, any religion, system or belief that promises heaven or nirvana at a later stage providing you subscribe to their terms and conditions and fishbowl business model, right now!) but forgetting the importance of...

Knowledge of The Self.

By LUCEAT LUX VESTRA Tony Searl

Remember that a boundary is set with love. (LOVE not inauthentic fake niceness) It is never aggressive. It is never dramatic. It is never hurtful. In the experience that I had, I told my friend that this action she had taken meant that I had reached my tipping point and that given our conversation last year, it meant that this was the end of our friendship.   I don't hate her.  I don't resent her.  I don't wish her bad. In fact, I still have a deep love and appreciation towards her and genuinely desire for her business to flourish.  Ethically, morally, spiritually and with grounded integrity.  I just no longer have a space for her personal unethical choices and behaviours towards myself (and others, including staff and business partners) and the kind of standards and authentic connections that I'm committed to creating. So be very mindful, especially in difficult times, about how you allow others to treat you. What you tolerate continues, what you accept defines...
