The Heathen – 10.24.22

I am here to share gratitude for this precious life and our collective efforts to help bring positive balance to this world.

This is why we are alive. This is for you and me. 

We deserve the right to feel good and play often. What the hell happened to following passions, playing with our neighbors, and building a better future for generations to come? What are we doing with our precious moments? 

Let’s start with rewilding. 

You are the aurora borealis

Momma Earth is calling you. She says “Go the fuck outside.” 

The digital wormholes of infinite media and propaganda are trying to swallow the world. You must re-wild the unsullied child within you and learn how to feel again. 15 years ago, it was common to take a break from the natural world to browse the matrix. Now you take a break from the matrix to browse the natural world. 

Nothing glorious lies in smashing buttons with your fingers and screaming at screens until your brain explodes and your eyes start to bleed. It sucks to be around others who are stuck in the web, too.

Be the aurora borealis — the torch that guides the lost back to the fire. The world needs your colors and kisses more than ever. 

Feeling good is a progression, not an exercise in perfection

Allow yourself to let go and simply feel. Hard emotions are just as valid as pleasant emotions. The only requirement for transforming pain into happiness is your willingness to feel.

Feel it. Love it. Allow it all to happen. Remember that there is always a choice to feel a little better or a little worse —no matter the situation.

Life is meant to be a progression, not an exercise in perfection. There is infinite love and support in this world for you and within you.

You are a living library of healing powers

What if you package your favorite inspirational snacks (quotes, words of wisdom, etc) onto pretty little notecards and start hiding them for others to find in the world?  

These bursts of magic will find their seekers and recharge their hope exactly when they need it most. 

Notice how good it feels to share your love with the world. 

This is how it works:

Positive and negative charges balance your energy. This is Universal Law. Think of it like a glass. 

By law, your glass is half full of positive juice, and half full of negative juice. Whatever you spill into the world, the universe will fill back into your glass to keep the balance. 

If you pour positivity into your community and surroundings, the universe will pour positivity back into your life. If you spew out negativity, the universe will spew negativity back into your life. 

This balance is certain. 

What you give is what you get. 

Hugs > Wedgies.

Creative maniac quote for you

“I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” – Maya Angelou

 

You are exactly where you are supposed to be. Rest easy. Take it all in. Inhale the white light. Exhale the black smoke. 

Thank you for reading “The Heathen.”

To your feel-good future,

–Heath

The Heathen – 10.10.22

Earlier this year, I stepped back from writing these posts to pin my awareness on creative projects that I think you will love. I always intend to share as my energy allows, and I’m really excited about the new books and card decks that are on the horizon. 

Here is a list of what is to come soon: (I’m not sure what order yet)

Sweet-Ass Affirmations 1 & 2 Coloring BooksSweet-Ass Affirmations 3: Rhyming Affirmations for Your Creative Maniac Mind (Card Deck)How to Grow Your Abundance Mojo: Simple and Playful Ways to Attract Abundance Every Day (Book)Sweet-Ass Affirmations: Abundance for Your Creative Maniac Mind (Card Deck)Win a magic bundle of decks & books

To kick things off, we are running a giveaway for 6 card decks (various authors), 2 books, and 1 mystery gift over at RageCreate.  This will include the VERY FIRST copy of the Sweet-Ass Affirmations Coloring Book pre-release with a personalized note from me. 

Please share this giveaway with your friends. It helps our small team grow, and you get 3 extra entries to win with each share. 

You are everything you need to be without trying

Like all the buzz inside of the bees, all the leaves painting the trees, and all the salt holding the seas— you’re everything you need to be without trying. 

What if you just allow it all to happen? 

Your muse is a spiral of wisdom. You are a vortex of light. Together, you tether your creations to life. May your path be illuminated, and may you find your way home inside of yourself.

Thank you for being.

As ye sow, so shall ye reap

Being sometimes feels heavy. At the base of the Law of Attraction, you get what you think about. This simple (yet deep) law is a guiding light for life. 

Your feelings come in response to your focus. 

“Whenever you feel bad, you are in the process of attracting something that will not please you. Without exception, the reason for negative emotion is because you are focused upon something you do not want or upon the lack or absence of something you do want.”  –Abraham Hicks

Your pain is an indicator to turn on your lights

I do not think life is about seeking light, but more so about remembering that we are light. There is no space between. You have an innate guidance system (your intuition) that notifies you anytime your lights start to dim. Whenever you feel a negative emotion, it is only your guidance system pointing out that you are on a path to attract more darkness or negative feelings. 

Your guidance system isn’t alerting you because it wants you to feel like shit— it’s alerting you because it wants you to make a change and turn the lights back on. It wants you to feel better so you can play, create, and bring your visions to life with ease. 

Flip the switch

The most simple and effective practice for flipping the switch is to visualize positive feelings and outcomes whenever you feel a negative emotion. This takes practice and is a life’s work, but it has immediate effects. This practice is detrimental to long-term happiness and health. 

By listening to your guidance system and identifying your negative feelings or lack mindset, you can reframe your emotions with a feel-good visualization and bring yourself back into alignment with your light. 

Pain is never easy, but in every moment that you think about something that feels good, you are stopping the pain from growing and instead feeding the feel-good. 

Remove the space between you and your happy place. Think of how it feels to be alive, thriving, and full of life-force energy. It is within you, not separate. 

Practice like your life depends on it.

Creative maniac quotes for you

“You are a light being. Per cubic centimeter, mitochondria that fill the cells of the human body produce about 10,000 times more light than the surface of the sun. We are 10,000 times more efficient at releasing that light than the sun is at producing that light energy. You are light energy— a star. So much of our reality is spent focusing outside of our light essence — on the ideas, beliefs, and thought patterns of the egoic world, preventing us from aligning our state of awareness and being with our light capacity. When we spend time in this state of light energy, we have the ability to shift our reality. It is a state of manifestation allowed by our willingness to receive. Let go of the mental constructs and beliefs for a moment, and shine. Learn to trust that state of being.” – Dr. Zach Bush

“Don't pray for rain. Pray rain. Remove the space.” – Tat Erick, Mayan Elder

Breathe easy. Feel the light. Do more of what's working. Highlight gratitude. Be of service. Hug your mom. Ride the momentum. Love easy. Love hard. Rest and play. Do the work. Be the first. Feed your heart. Go tell it on the mountain. 

Thank you for reading “The Heathen.”

Until next time,

–Heath

The Heathen – 7.26.22

I have been on the road for a few months now, soaking up the wisdom of the natural world. Every sunrise that passes without cell phone reception, I realize that peace manifests in the absence of computer-bot notification fuckery.

I’m also aware that these machines open up portals of communication in which we are connecting at this very moment. Tricky. What is valid? What is right?

I’ve been pondering a few thoughts for your creative maniac mind.

Pay attention to what is mastering your attention

Flow states often birth from feeling peace and ease. Peace and ease are also feelings of being in a flow state. It’s a reciprocal vortex where the fruits are tasty and the quality of life is paramount.

To step into a flow state, there is no easier way than removing all of the distractive fuck-boxes that pillage your awareness. Social media. Text notifications. Mindless scrolling. Skinsuit swiping. Media propaganda. The grand ole’ boob tube.

Are you the master of your attention, or are you allowing massive chunks of your days to fade into these debilitating pits of darkness and distraction? Are you feeding your time and energy to the monsters?

Less stuff = less distraction

When you have less stuff (digital or physical) you have less distraction. When you have little to no distraction, you are the master of your awareness.  When you master your own awareness, you pay attention to the parts of life that matter the most like forming stronger relationships, engaging in higher levels of creativity, or reconnecting with the passion and curiosity of your inner child.

When you start to weave the support of strong relationships with creative exploration and child-like play, you will continuously open up new doors that lead directly to clarity and meaning in life.

And, when you live your life with clear intent, you will undoubtedly discover that the pursuit of happiness you dream of is not only possible, it’s absolute. It’s beating inside your chest right now. Can you feel it, or must you remove some distractions to get back to the source?

Don't feed the monsters!

Digital devices are like walking billboards. They suck in your attention and give you a dopamine hit to make you feel “liked” or “shareable.”

They leave you empty and longing for another fix. They make you see the world through the eyes of distortion.

They convince you that your digital identity is more important than your true form, that the digital world is more real than the wild abundant Earth.

These billboards sell you stories and dreams. Not your dreams, but their dreams. They help you find the information you “want”, convincing you that their tools are helpful and valid. Meanwhile, they track the information you seek and use it to put more billboards in front of your face.

Materials. Possibilities. Views through the eyes of “better” lives. You spend years on these platforms and all of a sudden they know who you are better than you do.

They hit you with ads that make you think “Woah babes, I was just thinking about that. What a coincidence! I guess this is synchronicity?? Did I manifest this? A universal sign? I should buy this!”

But in reality, they listen to every word you say and type. They know your favorite flavors. They know what colors you are most likely to click on. They know what secrets you keep tucked into your mind.

They know your weaknesses.

But hey… fuck em'. They have no power over you if you remove them from your life.

Quick ideas for destroying digital distraction gremlinsRemove social media, email, and other disruptive apps from your phone. Again, they are designed to give you little dopamine drips of instant (but false) gratification, all while disguising the impossibility of you ever actually creating sustainable happiness while under their spells. Check out Jaron Lanier’s Ten Arguments for Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now if you want to explore the deep dark world of how these platforms are manipulating your life and removing your ability to experience being human, even if it wasn’t the original intention of the creative pioneers.Create hourly, partial day, or full-day phone blocks. I often schedule certain days (and sometimes full weeks) where I keep my phone off entirely. At the very least, put it on airplane mode and turn off the wifi to eliminate distractions. Let your close family and friends know when you are going silent so they don’t freak panic and call the police to come bust in on your while you’re naked in your bubble bath.Replace your television with a projector. They are harder to set up, thus making it less likely that you’ll actually watch. If you can go without entirely, even better.Quick ideas for rediscovering yourself after beating your distraction gremlins to a pulpDo the goddamned thing! There is something really trippy that happens when you start using digital blocks. All of a sudden, it feels like your days are five times as long and you don’t know what to do with your time. This is because you are now mastering your awareness instead of sacrificing it to the distractive hell realms. The boredom you feel wants to transform into play. Start reading books, planning projects, going on walks outside, meditating, and listening to your curiosity and intuition. What is something exciting to you that you’ve always wanted to start but never did? Take a few hours to make a big list. I recently picked up pottery and wilderness survival, and I’m in love with them both.Call and/or hang out with your friends and family in the flesh. Find out what they are struggling with, fighting for, creating, and overcoming. We’ve been conned into believing that a “like” or “comment” on a social media post is a true form of relating and caring. We feel like we are letting our friends know we “support” them, but we actually aren’t truly connecting with them in any human form. We build expectations that others will validate our lives through liking and commenting on what we share, yet we end up feeling empty and alone regardless. Sharing pictures and thoughts via digital communication platforms can be rewarding in some ways, but it is never a replacement for real human connection. Call your friends, your mom, your children, and your partners. Make physical plans often and meet up to explore new places and pathways. Our planet is infinitely gorgeous, and you deserve to discover the nectars with awesome people and real connections. There is nothing more important than sitting around a fire under the stars, staring each other in the eyes, and saying “I fucking love you.”Send postcards or hand-written letters to your baller friends instead of texting them. Plan a trip. Slap each other’s butts. We don’t remember texts from yesterday, but postcards and letters are filled with love and intention. Find creative ways to reconnect with those you care about and start fresh connections with new, exciting people who are in alignment with your values.

Creative maniac quotes for you

“Create a place for people to live like human beings instead of slaves to some bullshit concept of progress that is driving us all mad.” – Hunter S. Thompson

“Weird, lovely, fantastic objects of nature have the curious ability to remind us — like rock and sunlight and wind and wilderness— that out there is a different world, older and greater and deeper by far than ours, a world which surrounds and sustains the little world of men as sea and sky surround and sustain a ship. The shock of the real. For al little while we are again able to see, as the child sees, a world of marvels. For a few moments we discover that nothing can be taken for granted, for if this ring of stone is marvelous then all which shaped it is marvelous, and our journey here on earth, able to see and touch and hear in the midst of tangible and mysterious things-in-themselves, is the most strange and daring of all adventures” – Edward Abbey

“We no longer buy oranges, we buy vitality. We do not just buy an auto, we buy prestige. And so with all the rest. In toothpaste, for example, we buy not a mere cleanser and antiseptic, but release from the fear of being sexually repulsive. In vodka and whisky, we are not buying protoplasmic poison which in small doses, may depress the nervous system in a psychologically valuable way; we are buying friendliness and good fellowship.” – Aldous Huxley

 

Look, I know it’s remarkably hard to avoid these devices in a society ridden with technological blackholes. However, I urge you to implement some of these practices right now. Don’t wait or create a “plan” for doing it next week. If you wait, they win. If you wait, you sacrifice yourself.

Tell the truth. Love yourself. Love everyone else even if you feel rage toward them (and tell some of them.) Expect nothing. Assume nothing. Explore. Create. Be Curious. Greet the sun. Hug the moon. Surrender and let go. Share your light.

Thanks for reading “The Heathen.”

Until next time,

–Heath

The Heathen – 4.13.22

This week I took a deep dive into the Mastery of Love by don Miguel Ruiz. I’ve been navigating some really hard experiences within my mind and relationships, and as I head toward my second visit to Teotihuacan in a few days, I find don Miguel’s teachings to be incredibly grounding.

I want to share some of don Miguel’s wisdom (as filtered through my brain) with you. Some of this is directly from the book.

Track of love > track of fear

The key to mastering love is in your ability to stay on the track of love and off the track of fear.

There are two halves in every relationship (whether with your partner, friend, child, dog or anything else) and you are only responsible for your half.

Love has no expectation or obligation. Fear is full of expectation and obligation.

Love is based on respect. Fear doesn’t respect anything, including itself.

[If I don’t respect you or think you are capable of being responsible for your half of the relationship, then I try to control you.]

[If I don’t respect myself or believe that I am capable of my half of the relationship, then I feel sorry for myself.]

Love doesn't hurt. Fear hurts. 

Love never ever ever ever hurts, despite common phrases like…well… “love hurts.”

Fear hurts like a mother fucker. Remember, in fear we have expectations.

[I expect something, and if it doesn’t happen I feel hurt. I blame you for not meeting my expectation.]

When we love, we don’t have expectations. We love because it exhilarates our bones. We WANT to love.

[If I don’t expect something to happen, and nothing happens, then I don’t feel hurt.]

Compassion > feeling sorry

Compassion comes from respecting love. Feeling sorry comes from a lack of respect. Fear creates the lack of respect.

When you are riding the track of love, everything is going well for you. You don’t feel sorry for your partner.

Love is always kind, and that kindness makes you generous and opens all the doors

Love is unconditional. Fear is full of conditions.

Expectations and obligations create conditional love, which is actually fear.

[I love you just the way you are.]

vs.

[I love you if you dress the way I prefer. I love you if you tell me you’re sorry.]

Conditions create false justice.

In love there is true justice. If you make a mistake, you feel the power of the mistake once, and you learn from it.

In fear there is no true justice. You make yourself, your partner, or your friends pay 100 times for the same mistake until the conditions you create are met.

(doodle from my heart to yours)

In love, we play together. In fear, we play against each other. 

We each have a parasite within us. This parasite feeds off fear. The parasites on both sides of a relationship become allies in an attempt to generate ultimate fear to feed on.

Again, parasites feed off expectations, obligations, conditions, and the war of control.

[I have to control you because I don’t respect you.]

[I have to be responsible for you because if something happens to you it will also hurt me, and I want to avoid pain.]

[If I see you being careless or not responsible, I’m going to take stabs at you, belittle you, and remind you to be responsible OR ELSE]

In love, we become team players. We play and have fun together, but never against each other. We generate and radiate love. We never try to control each other’s games.

[No, you are doing it wrong. Don’t play like that. Play like this, it’s better.]

Relationships are not about winning or losing. Relationships are about having fun and radiating love, creativity, and playfulness. When love is in the air, rather than fear, the parasites have no garbage to feed on.

I am not better than you

If we love ourselves adequately, we don’t allow others to take advantage of us, and we don’t take advantage of others. We respect each other without needing to control each other. We love beauty, laughing, and having fun. We love to love.

We must practice.

Creative maniac quote for you

“Selfishness, control, and fear will break almost any relationship. Generosity, freedom, and love will create the most beautiful relationship and ongoing romance. No-one else can make you feel happy. Happiness is the result of love flowing out of you. Love in action produces happiness. Fear in action produces suffering.” – don Miguel Ruiz

The Heathen – 3.7.22

Have you ever laughed so hard that you accidentally ripped a monster fart in front of other people… and then laughed even harder because of the sheer awkwardness of the situation?

What about laughing so hard that you gushed some pee through your undies and pants?

Remember that feeling of wild, uncontrollable joy?

The tickle monster is an angel of abundance

Uncontrollable laughter actually raises your vibrational state. It removes the space between you and your happiness. It feels good.

Laughter is an emotional manifestation of abundance, just like tears of joy, gratitude, orgasms, and love. The tickle monster is an angel of abundance.

When was the last time you laughed hard enough to pee your pants? When was the last time you helped someone else rediscover their giggles?

Peeing your pants is cool

Gremlins want you to pee your pants out of fear (not cool). They don’t want you to know the power of peeing your pants through joy and laughter (super cool).

They want you to react and have meltdowns. They want you to be the victim.

You are not the victim. You are a kickass starlight fairy giggling symphonies of love and abundance throughout the galaxy. No matter how hard it gets or how much pain you feel— you are fundamentally a child of love and light. You deserve laughter, joy, and fuzzy love.

When all feels dark, what if you respond with peace and ease instead of reacting by feeding chaos and disease?

It's not about your beauty and bullshit

Life isn’t about what ‘happens’ to you. It’s not about the beauty that happens to you, and it’s certainly not about the bullshit that happens to you.

Life is about how you choose to respond (not react) when it happens.

A response is rooted in awareness. It supports growth toward the highest version of yourself. A reaction is an ignorant trigger that usually just feeds ongoing negativity.

What if you respond to the hard stuff in life in ways that support elevated health, happiness, and play?

What if every time you feel shitty or off you simply respond with ways that make you feel good?

Oh baby it feels sooo good

A few powerful and abundantly available ways to feel truly great are:

Sweating, real food, sunlight, forest bathing, saltwater, hot/cold baths and plunges, sex, flowers, drinking clean water, earthing, meditation, good sleep, fasting, playing, creating, exercising, dancing, meeting new friends, and laughing.

Be a contagious fireball of laughter

You have the power to pull yourself out of any funk by leading yourself into a self-contagious laugh. (see idea below)

When you start laughing more, the light-hearted energy transfers to those around you and increases the beauty of their moods, too. Each day, if you can make one person smile— or laugh so hard that they tinkle in their undies— your day is not wasted.

Creative maniac quote & idea for you

“Totalitarian systems are notably devoid of humor at every level. Laughter, which brings acceptance and freedom, is a threat to their rule through force and intimidation. It is hard to oppress people who have a good sense of humor. Beware the humorless, whether in a person, institution, or belief system; it is always accompanied by an impulse to control and dominate, even if its proclaimed objective is to create prosperity or peace.” -David Hawkins, Power vs. Force

Today, stand up with your hands on your hips and force yourself to start laughing. It will feel awkward because maybe you don’t feel happy and nothing seems funny. However, the obnoxious fake laugh will domino into a rampage of contagious real laughs. You won’t be able to stop. It is hilarious. Do it. Keep doing it.

Do it until you accidentally fart and someone else hears it. Laughing is how we save the world.

 

Thanks for reading “The Heathen.”

The Heathen – 2.28.22

What is the probability of you existing? You’re about to find out.

“There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on all the beaches of Earth.” – Carl Sagan

Some smart people with baller computers (led by Dr. Jason Marshall) estimate more stars are visible from Earth with super telescopes than there are grains of sand on the Earth. Wowzers.

Our own Milky Way galaxy has approximately 100 to 400 billion stars visible alone.

In 2016, researchers predicted that there are likely to be more than 2 trillion galaxies in the “observable” universe after studying new images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Of course, there are no telescopes that can observe the entire universe, so this number could be infinite.

200 trillion galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars each….

Are you getting hot and bothered yet?

You are probably a miracle, or god, or fairy, or all of the above

Another smart baller, Dr. Ali Binazir, estimates that your existence is “the probability of 2 million people getting together each to play a game of dice with a trillion-sided dice. They each roll the die, and they all come up with the same number.” For example, 444,444,444,444.

This is a probability of 1 in 102,685,000 — in comparison to the probability of known atoms in the universe at 1080.

You are supernatural.

Cupid isn't stupid

There were around 180 million semen warriors that started the mighty race for reproduction when Cupid launched his love arrow at your parents. These warriors swarmed through crowded villages, mazed through tunnels, and battled through the great protectors in the Queen’s ovary palace.

For the few that made it through the marathon and past the guards, it took teamwork to break down the fortress that protected the shining egg of life.  Only one victor slipped through the crack first and fertilized the egg. This hybrid life force became YOU.

Next time you are questioning your powers, remember that you are the prize of Mother Nature’s most impossible race. You are a superpower combination of the fiercest marathon warrior and the rarest egg of life.

Cupid isn’t stupid. Homeboy knew the world needed you.

What if you relax?

Since you’ve already accomplished the impossible, what if you allow yourself to relax?

How will it feel when you give yourself permission to play, remove expectation, and lean into peace?

You are pulsating with unconditional love and support from the universe. Will you allow visions of exploration, creativity, and adventures to flood your brain and heart? Will you taste the mountain rivers, smell the wildflowers, and re-discover what it’s like to be wild, raw, and gritty.

I’m here with you. There are lots of us.

Even if shit hits the fan and we end up without money, materials, or a badge of “success” from the world of conformity and rules… our spirits will still be laughing, dancing around the fire, looking up at the stars, and singing songs of joy and divinity.

We came. We saw. We said fuck it. We truly lived.

It is my honor to walk this path next to you.

Creative maniac quote & idea for you

“The more a thing tends to be permanent, the more it tends to be lifeless. No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time.” – Alan Watts

Today, take a moment to step outside of your normal routines and habits and do something backwards, insane, or wild. Perhaps go wash in a creek, or paint your body and dance around a candle, or write/draw/paint your visions onto something beautiful. Lean into it with love and compassion. When you allow yourself permission to relax and play, you teach others how to do the same.

Our world needs it.

 

Thanks for reading “The Heathen.”

The Heathen – 2.21.22

Tomorrow is 2.22.22. Are you ready to open the portal?

The monsters are mad

Outside of our Earth’s own volcanos, quakes, tornados, tsunamis, wars, wildfires, hurricanes, and Walmarts, there are other forces of mass destruction lurking on much larger scales within the Universe.

Asteroids and meteoroids whiz by our planet every year at alarmingly close distances, including the 2012 TC4 that missed by only 27,000 miles (about one-eighth the distance from Earth to the moon.)

The Tunguska event in 1908 is the largest impact event in modern history, completely decimating over 830 square miles of forest in rural Russia. In 2013, the Chelyabinsk meteor entered Earth’s atmosphere, creating a large shock wave equivalent to 33 times the energetic force of the atomic bomb detonated at Hiroshima. Wowzers.

Don’t squeeze your butt-cheeks and get all sweaty yet. I’ve got good news.

Your light is winning

Scary forces aren’t the only almighty forces that lurk within our Universe.

What about love, guardian angels, light force, and life force?

I’m optimistic because we are here, now, playing in this world. Just as there are harsh forces existing to cripple and destroy, so too are there light forces existing to birth, nourish, and expand more light.

Your angels are protecting you

If you gaze at the stars, it may seem like darkness owns most of the sky. However, light exists everywhere, even in the space where it appears black. There just isn’t any matter in that space to reflect the light for you to see.

Your guardian angels are the same way. You may only see them when they reflect off objects like clocks, furry pets, magical people, and even your bathroom mirror.

Not only are your guardian angels with you, but they are also turbo-boosting your sweet cheeks with an infinite supply of love and protection.

Are you paying attention to their messages? Will you open the portal?

Slow down and center your awareness – 222

When I turned 33, I moved into apartment 66. My license plate had a 666 on it. My pup Sachi turned 3 on March third (3.3). The pub across from the apartment was called Pub 33. This was the year I learned to fully trust in the magic and wonders of synchronicity.

When you notice synchronistic numbers, like 222, your angels are asking you to slow down and center your awareness. By doing so, it becomes easier to weed through all the bullshit that may be clouding your head and instead focus on truth, intent, and love.

My partner always says: “In silence, we hear it. In stillness, we feel it.”

What are your angels asking you to hear and feel?

What have you been seeing? 

Angel numbers indicate something private that you must contemplate and navigate using your own intuition. To help you generate ideas, here is a numerology guide from some college kid who loves hitting bongs in his ninja turtle undies and has ‘tarot master’ on his Instagram profile. JK. This is my guide:

111 – Angels are here with you, like literally sitting on your face. They are helping you manifest whatever you are currently thinking of. It’s a good opportunity to slow down and reframe your mind around positive momentum and outcome. One symbolizes the beginning of all cycles.222 – Duality and the polarity of positive and negative. Bring balance back to your moments. Reunite with your twin flame. Confirmation that you are on the light path.333 – What are you doubting that you need to work through? Is there a decision you need to make?444 – Your ancestors are with you. Slow down and pay respects to the journey, the four elements of fire, earth, air, and water, and the four cardinal directions. Spend some time at your alter in deep gratitude for those that walked the path before us.555 – Love your body. Take some time for self-love practices. Five represents the number of fingers and toes, the five senses, and the five stages of life. What have you mastered on your journey so far? What do you long to master next?666 – Paint sigils all over your body and go streaking in the suburbs. Honor your death and the wondrous meaning that it brings to life.777 – The good luck portal is open and ready for you to jam your private party parts all in and around the rim. You are universally supported and on a roll. Keep raging.888 – Infinity, abundance, and rebirth. What are you creating? What wants to be created?999 – High positivity, good fortune, and life force energy. Also represents a cycle of completion and the divine feminine energy.Life is what you believe it is

The truth is: life is what you believe it is.

If you see an angel number (or any other symbol in life) and you also believe that it represents something good, then by the Law of Attraction you will attract something good. The more often you attract good things, the better your life becomes.

Choose to believe.

Creative maniac quote & ideas for you

“Synchronicity an ever-present reality for those who have eyes to see.” – Carl Jung

Here are a few ideas for attracting happy and healthy vibes into your life:

If you see a triple number, slow down and take five deep breaths. Ask yourself “What is this angel trying to tell me?”If you see your spirit animal (could be in dreams, waking life, books, symbols, etc), ask yourself “Have I unleashed my wild side today?” Use it as a reminder to move your body, let loose, and release some energy! Jump up and down 100 times, or do five pushups.If you notice a yellow car, stop what you are doing and recite your goals and affirmations out loud. Who are you wanting to become in life? Speak it in the present tense.If you hear birds chirping, call someone you love and let them know that you love them.

I hope these help you craft your own ideas.

Synchronistic numbers and symbols are simply reminders to reconnect with your awareness and your highest path. We become what we think about.

What have you been thinking about?

 

Thanks for reading “The Heathen.”

The Heathen – 2.14.22

I want to share a smorgasbord of love with you as a reminder for all days, not just valentines day.

In 2018, my partner of 7 years left suddenly just a week before our wedding.

Before I knew it, I was deep within the jungles of Mexico meeting Mother Ayahuasca (an ancient plant medicine/spirit) for the first time.

Here are a few staples that she taught me about love:

Loving yourself is the source of all love

Love is generated within you, filling all your unique little wrinkles, curves, organs, senses, bones, wings, and private party parts with harmony, illumination, and zest.

Remember to love yourself like you loved that tiny little creature you rescued when you were seven years old. As you honor and love yourself, you radiate infinite love to all others. Love attracts love.

By loving yourself with compassion, you teach others how to love you the same.

Try on love of all shapes, sizes, and colors

Love is the infinite web that weaves all light, life, and purpose together. It is the glue that makes us passionate and bonkers at the same time.

Choosing love does not stop suffering, but it helps you rise above it. Live for love. Create for love. Share ice cream for love. Die for love.

Love is everything— every glance, conversation, meal, story, and experience.

Just like ice cream, try on love of all shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors. You may be surprised what exotic and kinky new loves you will find.

You are vibrant and sexy AF

You are so fucking perfect and gorgeous just the way you are, otherwise you wouldn’t be you. Your unique shapes, flavors, aromas, vibrations, and colors are pure gifts to this planet.

As flowers open up to bloom in celebration of the Sun, so too will you open your rainbow wings and shine your sexy on everyone (including yourself.)

Is it time to masturbate in the mirror? OMG. Right. It’s getting hawt in here.

Creative maniac quote & idea for you

“You are not naked when you take off your clothes. You still wear your religious assumptions, your prejudices, your fears, your illusions, your delusions. When you shed the cultural operating system, then essentially you stand naked before the inspection of your own psyche.” – Terence McKenna

Self-love is learning how to remove the layers that others have placed on you. Today, I invite you to take off your clothes and wash your body in self-love. Here is a practice that was shared with me by a Mayan Elder to guide you:

Self-love bath ritual

Walk outside repeating the mantra “I love you. I love me. You love me. Thank you.” as you gaze at all of the wonderful natural creations of the world. Collect some flowers, herbs, and oils (whether from your walk, home, or market) and start a bath. Roses, rosemary, lavender, and sage are great to use. Put the flowers, herbs, and oils into the bath. Cut a lemon into 4 pieces in honor of the 4 elements and directions. Put the lemons into the bath. Soak yourself next to candlelight if possible, repeating your self-love mantra.

If you do not have access to a tub, you can boil all of these offerings together, let the water cool, and then wash your body and spirit with the sacred water.  May peace be with you.

Thanks for reading “The Heathen.”

–Heath

PS: Here are a few more quotes about self-love that may be moving:

“And I said to my body. softly. ‘I want to be your friend.’ it took a long breath. and replied, ‘I have been waiting my whole life for this.” -Nayyirah Waheed

“Your problem is you’re too busy holding onto your unworthiness” Ram Dass

“Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes.” C G Jung

Also, watch this while rubbing and loving your body.

The Heathen – 2.7.22

I am currently sitting in the jungle of Mexico, mesmerized by the colors and sounds of the beauties and beasts that dance around me. 

Birdies. Scorpions. Iguanas. Jaguars. You.

Inside of you, there is beauty and the beast

Your beauty is hungry for compassion, peace, love, humility, creativity, moderation, and kindness.

Your beast is starving for jealousy, arrogance, ego, comparison, resistance, addiction, and greed. 

Feed your beauty, not your beast. 

Feeding your beauty fuels your life force energy

Life force energy (chi) is what distinguishes you from the dead. This life force energy is absorbed mainly through your breath (nostrils) and flows through thousands of energy channels (nadi) and your chakras (energy centers).

Life force energy feels incredible. It’s your light, your high-vibes, and your happy health. It fuels your creativity, exploration, and kundalini. 

When your life force energy is pumping, you become the best version of you— the version that is capable of manifesting your dreams.

How are you generating and spending your life force energy? 

4 questions for manifesting your highest good

Choices create space for hesitation and resistance gremlins to sneak in. If you remove choices from your life, you close the door on the beasts. 

Instead of making choices that allow room for error, use the questions below as parameters for moving forward. 

For everything that you are contemplating, ask yourself:

Will this feed or destroy my life force energy?Am I excited about this?Does it support my short-term and long-term visions?What will be the fruit of this labor? Is it worth it?

If all of these answers are positive, then the pursuit you are considering will help manifest your highest good. If you answer no to any of these questions, bail immediately.

You no longer have to choose

Never again will you find yourself slamming booze with friends and pounding triple-bacon-cheeseburgers until you explosive #2 all over the back of your toilet seat because this activity will never pass your new parameters. 

The fastest path to manifesting your dreams is with actions that support your dreams. These questions will not only help you walk the path but become the path entirely. 

May the force be with you.

Creative maniac quote & idea for you

“Each atomic particle of your being is suspended in space and is dancing around other atomic particles at a rapid rate. Becoming “lighter” is not a matter of being less heavy, but of actually assimilating more light into yourself. Through consistent breathing practices, meditation, and movement, you draw pure white light into your energy system—literally lighting up your chakras.”  – Christopher Kilham

Today, get out a large piece of paper or craft board and write these 4 questions in a colorful, artsy way on it. Hang this up somewhere in your dwelling (maybe bathroom mirror) so you will see it every day. Begin living within parameters that support your highest, wildest dreams. Start feeding your beauty and quit feeding your beast. Life force energy is inbound.

Thanks for reading “The Heathen.”

The Heathen – 1.31.22

Are you pretending to be happy? How does this question make you feel?

This may sound bonkers, but I am proud of the time I woke up face-down-pants-down on my garage floor. Blood was everywhere. My car was still running in the front yard. Gas and whiskey fumes flooded the air.

Whatever I was pretending to be in life— it was killing me. This was the day I stopped faking my happiness.

There is great danger when you value “appearing to be” over “being”

“Appearing to be” is pretending to be something you are not, usually at the expense of yourself and the benefit of someone else. “Being” is honoring the truth within you no matter how messy it may be.

Here are some examples:

Doing what you “should” (appearing to be) vs. Doing what truly lights you up (being)Hiding behind your smile (appearing to be) vs. Smiling while you cry because you are sharing your truth and it feels relieving (being)Sharing filtered pictures to enhance your features or correct your blemishes (appearing to be) vs. Sharing your raw, natural beauty and helping others build confidence to do the same (being)Telling your friends that your broken relationship is thriving to avoid shame and judgment (appearing to be) vs. Communicating honestly with your partner, friends, and therapist about your hardships, thus creating opportunity for healing and growth (being)Resisting exercise or meditation because you are “too busy” (appearing to be) vs. Prioritizing self-care practices, thus enhancing all aspects of your life (being)Appearing to beBeingDoing what you “should”Doing what truly lights you upHiding behind your smile Smiling while you cry because you are sharing the truth (and it feels relieving)Sharing filtered pictures to enhance your features or correct your blemishesSharing your raw, natural beauty and helping others build confidence to do the sameTelling your friends that your broken relationship or marriage is thriving to avoid shame and judgmentCommunicating openly with your partner, friends, and therapist about your hardships to create new opportunities for healing and growthResisting exercise or meditation because you are “too busy”Prioritizing self-care practices thus enhancing all aspects of your life

 

“Appearing to be” is resistance. It feels easy in the moment but destroys you over time.

“Being” is the hardest work of all, but it bears eternal fruits. It removes the space between you and your truth.

Are you appearing to be, or are you being?

Be aware of the gremlins

“Appearing to be” is also an elusive trick of mASS media, corrupt politicians, and con-artists. These tricksters are predatory gremlins.

Their schemes may sound familiar:

“Act the part” even though you don’t enjoy it. “Do as you are told” even though you don’t want to. “Follow the rules” even though they only benefit someone else. “Be good” even though good and bad are completely subjective. “Behave” or endure shame and punishment…

As you strive to live in truth, be aware of the world that “appears to be.”

Choose to be a hot mess

What if you allow yourself to simply be you? What if you unleash the raw, hot mess of beauty and chaos within you?

Choosing to be (rather than appearing to be) sets you free.

Exploration keeps you free.

Creating removes the trap altogether.

Do you really have anything better to do?

Creative maniac quote & idea for you

“All that you see out in front of you is how you feel inside your head.” – Alan Watts

With this breath, you have an opportunity to invite more flowers, laughter, and love into your head and out into the world.

Take a moment to write down 3 ways you haven’t been entirely truthful to yourself and those around you. How will you make changes to start “being” rather than “appearing to be” in each of these 3 ways?

Don’t hesitate to make the necessary changes. Start now. Your future self is already twerking in celebration.

Thanks for reading “The Heathen.”
