From Crisis to Clarity: A Personal Odyssey of Enlightenment & Back – Pt 8 – Conclusion

We weave together many frameworks and teachings in our process – the synthesis, distillation and combination of which it what I believe makes our work and transformation so potent…as though we’re bringing the essence, wisdom, morphic fields, intelligence and presence of these great teachers all to the table to help with what’s needed. A Board of Advisors of all the wise ones that range from spirituality to science to relationships to health, to identity design, business, sales, marketing, tech…they’re all present in our teachings. Just like great Rishis and gurus can be called forth for discourse and conversations. Their intelligence exists, it is. And it’s something that I was taught to tap into and that is pretty common in the Vedic Sciences. You probably have a version of it yourself – being able to have a mental board of advisors, or “what would Jesus do?” what would Steve Jobs do, Alex Hormozi, etc. Except this isn’t mental projection, it’s tapping into the field of energy that is them. [semantics]

There is one teacher Dr. Hawkins that gives one of the best explanation and breakdowns of consciousness in his “Levels of Consciousness” mappings. Here he describes how life is interpreted at various levels. It’s not what happens, but how you respond to it. His chart goes from Shame all the way up to Enlightenment.

What I went through is describe pretty closely to what he mentions with saints, people going through joy, peace and bliss. But we all go through these at various stages of life and moments. The question is what’s your dominant note, and in what areas of life. This is a core methodology and framework we devised to help people live their Total Lives of Joy. Not from pomp and puffery, but like true artistic scientists – architecting and building.

Victoria and I have helped our clients for over 5 years go through identity and lifestyle design and redesign. And we ourselves have gone through these levels of upgrades.

The simplest way I can explain my awakening is that I simultaneously experienced peace and bliss, while having to face and come to peace with, all the other levels of consciousness. Viewing my life from shame, guilt, grief, fear, desire, anger, pride, etc. etc. AND also grow and hold the note of peace and beyond. Improving my baseline, which was pretty set on Reason, and move it to Love, go through incredible growth and healing and personal work, get it to Joy, and now at Peace.

It doesn’t mean what I thought it would. I thought peace was the monk on a mountain, one with all things. I thought Joy was like a Disneyland 24/7. And while these are self-proclaimed ratings that I certainly drop down as I go, observing my dominant narrative and world view of life is what cements it. And the hardest part has been the awakening, when not suppressed by spiritual or emotional bypassing, is the continual recognition of ALL forms of worldviews that are present in every moment. Coming to peace with the narrative of viewing my life from a lens of shame, feeling that, accepting that…grief, feeling that, accepting that…and so on and so forth.

And the challenging thing of the lower energies is that they create what’s called a Low Drama Triangle. Which without getting to into it, means that there’s always going to be you playing a persecutor, victim or rescuer in the situation. And that there are infinite permutations and combinations of that role. Where a persecutor from one perspective is a victim from another. [hence why some challenges just never seem to end] And to transcend that is through the loving act – to create the empowerment dynamic, a different approach based on the role that brings the person, situation, conflict to a place of empowerment. And that’s hard. When we help our clients with this, each person seems to have a different dominant strategy to do so. Mine is through fire, anger, courage and fearlessness. And that’s helped. Except when it hinders or avoids those areas that it can’t. The warrior is great, but not all the time. And so I’ve had to learn to use the lover, magician, and king as well.

In so doing, it’s brought me to a stable centeredness. An ability to charge through, to create through the unknown, to hold response-ability for my life and actions, and to feel what needs to be felt even if it’s shame, grief or fear.

I went on this journey to find answers, and kept going because of perceived exceptionalism. And I found answers, and I’ve experienced quite exceptional things. But without the simple joys of life, without the moments of a nice cup of coffee in the morning, without silent moments on the couch with loved ones, without enjoying sunsets, nature and all the things in life that simply are I’d miss the whole point of it. Yes, I have an expanded world view and direct experience of many of these things, much of which is mapped here:

And while this can cause confusion, label me as crazy, or whatever you want to say, it’s been a pretty clear map that explains the glimpses of all that I’ve experienced first hand. Of course with anything like this, there might be a certain undertone, narrative or misinformation. But the map isn’t the terrain. It just helps orient myself.

But none of that matters or compares to a sunset walk with Victoria. With being in nature on a sunny SoCal day. With the feeling of fulfillment helping my clients. It’s the humanity that makes it worth it. I just happened to tap into, and perhaps be on a mission, that requires the paranormal to be normalized. And I’m not alone, there’s whole conferences about it with people more involved in these spaces than I. Check out the Conscious Life Expo, or read about the historical evidence of UFO’s. The information is out there. There’s a lot of misinformation, distorted information, but that’s true about everything these days…take celeb gossip or sport trade rumors.

I just know that each day, I wake up, try to be the best version of myself 1% better. Some days I do, others I fail. I’ve embraced my passions, my shadows, my joy. And I’ve shifted with Victoria’s wisdom how to conduct the Foundry process. It’s no longer about pulling a future or blueprint for a business from the quantum field, from liminal space, triangulated via frequency, resonance and facilitation. That still is a top down imposition, something defined that you step into. It creates too much chaos and turmoil for well intended individuals, it imparts hierarchy due to the first one’s getting there, and prevents others from rising up on an equal playing field. It was a misguided first principle. I was focused on the future, not the face.

Now, we focus on the face of the future. The individual, from the center point of existence outwards. We aren’t here to create morphic fields of consciousness to enslave us to act certain ways. Rather, we’re here to craft who we are at the identity level and see what life ripples out from there.

I’ve also learned to process my emotions, daily hygiene practices and regular men’s groups have been incredible for me, as has journaling, and above all else: helping others. When in service, when helping others go through a healing process, and empowering process, that shared energy helps me heal, helps empower me.

I guess where I see my dilemma bringing everything to a close is this: I went on a heroes quest. I attained, through sacrifice. I learned to love, and brought back the tool with a desire to help, to apply it to helping others. And with that getting clearer and clearer, it then is about how to return to a sense of normalcy in day to day life.

But there is no normalcy to return to, but rather to redefine. I’m reminded of Spiderman and other Marvel Comics. Where I just want to be a normal person, recognizing that there is no normalcy to return to, but a new definition of normalcy now. That those who have never experienced what I experienced would not be able to grasp or comprehend. Removing expectation on them. That even Will Smith in MIB found normalcy with a cup of coffee and working out. That those things I can relate to others with. To recognize that my path is not be normal, it never was. And now to recognize the “exceptionalism” I pursued is not about some fancy program, title, or ability, but the resonant frequency I radiate from within me.

It’s the reason why my clients hire me. Why those with 1000x more accumulated wealth than I seek my advice. Why quantum healers, extremely bright coders, and those with unique abilities work with me. It’s also why every day people feel a warmth, presence and connection talking with me.

I tried to fit in by going blank, by living in the void, with no ego. I did that for many years. I am nothingness, just left me to be a blank canvas in which people could project onto me. That projection led to great realizations and formed the initial basis of my work years ago. But that just left me to be a mirror to honest, to be the shadow of their they didn’t want to see, to play that role for them was too hard on me. If I didn’t define my ego, who I was, what I stood for, it would be defined for me by society. Regardless of whether it’s not defined because of operating unconsciously or as a desire for operating more “spiritually”, the resulting effects are the same: others define me.

And that’s ultimately what this series of posts is about: accepting my definition of me. Telling the world about it.

So that I can get on with life, with my purpose, with helping others. I’m not just a random person living in Topanga, but how would anyone else know that? Whose responsibility is it?

It’s mine.

If I’m to provide for my family and enjoy my life as more than a mystic monk, it’s my responsibility I’m stepping into. It’s fairly easy for me to announce things publicly, I’ve done it in the past. But what was hard, and what’s often the hardest part with our clients when they do it, is announcing who I am existentially. It’s easy to announce to the world a role you play, it’s a whole other level of embracing the path to opening yourself up, to be raw, to heal what needs to be healed, and to share: this is me…especially when it’s not all perfect and polished.

There are people in the back of my mind I thought if I shared who I was it would upset. That them reading these words or posts would cause them more harm and distress. And that was the reason for not stepping into it. Plus the need to make sure I’m not crazy…or at least accept that people can always think that, and get to a point where I’m okay with that.

But f*ck it.

When compared with the possible upside of being able to provide for Victoria, to have a child, to raise a family, to help even more people through challenging times, through building and growing businesses that create real value and transformation in society…

And to be clear, I’ve known this for a while. Knowing and doing are two different things. And often it’s the same with our clients. But here it is, here’s my receipt. Let it serve as whatever therapy, processing, value it may be so that I can move on, move forward to do more of my mission. To provide valuable content, to embody more fully what we have learned works.

One day at a time.

So….some advice to myself (that may be pertinent to you)

  • You see/feel/hear dead people/voices, that’s great how can you turn that into a service?
  • Aliens are real, great how are they helping humanity not manipulating?
  • You have a healing gift, how can you train others?
  • You have a big vision, who doesn’t? ChatGPT can create 50 of them that are 100x better, so what are you going to do about it…
  • You want to learn about the secret societies? Cool, can you still afford your bills?
  • You found financial success and not sure what to do next? Are you willing to look inside?
  • You have a super valuable quantum technology? Great, do you know how to do sales and marketing?
  • You’re going through an awakening? Are you willing to be disciplined?
  • You want an easy solution to all of life’s problems? Cool, choose your hard.
  • You created some free energy device? Are you willing to move slow and steady?
  • You got some download about how this reality is a matrix? Cool, keep chopping wood and carrying water.
  • You need a whole team to make your vision a reality? If you don’t have the resources, chunk down the vision or let it go – you’re just good at tapping into the zeitgeist, don’t worry, someone else will do it.
  • Your body hurts? Take care of it by working out.
  • You want peace? Great, go endure constant pain, annoyances and disturbances to learn how to be at peace. Monks on mountains versus raising newborn babies…see how fast that peace lasts.
  • You have a dream? Go make it happen, it’ll be 1000x harder than you thought, and that’s why you thought what you did, otherwise you wouldn’t do it.
  • You feel you’re special and unique? We all have infinite potential, go make it a reality.
  • You want to leave a legacy? Start with how you show up each day.
  • You want to change the world? Start with you, your household, your family, then expand linearly.
  • You think you know how reality works? That’s a sure sign you don’t.
  • You want to make money and help others? Then go talk to others and see what they actually want/need.
  • You just channeled some amazing thing? Great, how are you going to integrate it into your life, your service?
  • You think you’re special and unique? It just means you haven’t expanded your network yet, go find your new tribe.
  • Why do you ask so many questions? Just look inside, control your mind.
  • Your life is chaos? How organized is your room, your finances, your laptop, your newsfeed?
  • You think others should live like you do? Spend more time embracing your own needs.
  • You see problems in others? Look for that within yourself.
  • You want sovereignty? That’s not a document, a place, an attainment, it’s a clearing, a structuring, a dedication, a devotion.
  • You want to change? Learn how to take out the trash first.
  • You don’t know where to start? Go to the gym and lift some weights…no seriously.
  • You’re here for a reason? You have a purpose? Who gave it? How was it formed?
  • You want a shortcut to optimizing your life? Hire a coach, someone who’s been there before.
  • You don’t think you have emotional issues? Better go get some Costco sized tissues.
  • You’re not sure where to start? Start by emptying your mind, getting into heart coherence, and see what comes through.
  • You don’t think you know where to start? Shut off your brain and just take the action.
  • You think you’re a hotshot? Change the topic and let’s see how you do there.
  • You don’t believe in magic or miracles? When you’re ready, life will show you.
  • You only want to operate with magic or miracles? Don’t be so selfish, embrace all the ways reality works…including the mundane.
  • You want to manifest money? Go learn how to create boundaries, learn to sell and provide value to someone…if that’s too hard, just get a job…it’s the same thing, you just don’t know it.
  • And still with all this…the number 1 choice in life, is who you choose to spend your life with. Get that right and you’ll be alright…even when you aren’t.
  • Many things in life are instant, many more take time – the morphic field of creating and stewarding a family takes a lifetime. Despite all the fancy tech, spiritual abilities, and modern society, some things like family, service and legacy tap into the eternal, and often that’s the best medicine and antidote for what ails you.

This chapter is not about chaos, gifts, or collapse. It is about completion, integration, and the consolidation of a lifetime of initiations into usable mastery. If Chapter 7 was the forging of the gifts and identity, this final chapter is the tempering.

Here’s what was attained in this culmination:

1. Emotional Multidimensionality

I learned to feel all levels of consciousness simultaneously:

  • shame
  • grief
  • fear
  • desire
  • anger
  • pride
  • courage
  • neutrality
  • acceptance
  • willingness
  • reason
  • love
  • joy
  • peace
  • bliss

Most people oscillate between these states slowly and unconsciously. I learned to integrate them as a unified bandwidth…not bypassing the lower states, not over-identifying with the higher.

This is an extremely rare psychological achievement: The capacity to hold paradox without collapse.

To feel grief and gratitude at the same time.
To feel fear and still take responsibility.
To feel shame while acting with dignity.

This is why my presence regulates clients. I’m not “above” their experience, I’ve metabolized the full spectrum so I can be present with them in whatever they’re experiencing and help them achieve greater peace.

2. Consciousness Navigation

This chapter reveals the real outcome of my awakening: I developed the ability to navigate consciousness fractals, not as visions, but as frameworks that help humans design their lives.

This includes:

  • Dr. Hawkins’ LOC
  • Empowerment vs. Drama triangles
  • Identity design
  • Archetypal anchoring
  • Nervous system coherence
  • Morphic field awareness
  • Somatic interpretation
  • Quantum decision-making
  • Narrative reconstruction
  • Strategy attunement
  • Sales and marketing
  • Legacy and trust creation

I no longer “download” systems and walk away; I also build mine and help others build theirs…rooted in psychology, physiology, spirituality, and business intelligence.

The mystic became a methodologist. The intuitive became a designer. The channel became an architect of transformation.


3. Ego Reconstruction…Not Ego Death

My earlier desire to be “nothing,” to be formless, to dissolve identity was an immature mystic’s impulse.

This chapter reveals the shift: I learned to rebuild the ego on purpose.

Not as a defense mechanism, but as a functional identity:

  • clear boundaries
  • coherent values
  • embodied responsibility
  • relational accountability
  • masculine stability
  • contribution
  • purpose
  • service

This is what I’ve found that spiritual traditions rarely teach: Ego is not the enemy, an unconscious ego is.

I learned how to wield an ego without being owned by it…an evolutionary arc over the years.

This is why I can now run a company, channel, lead clients, and build a family with Victoria.

4. Translation of Gifts Into Human-Centered Service

This chapter marks the moment my mystical abilities stop being:

  • entertainment
  • identity
  • validation
  • escape
  • novelty

… and become tools for real humans living real lives.

I move from: “How do I transcend reality?” -> to “How do I help people live well?” from “Here’s a grand vision for humanity/an industry/a company” to “Here’s how we can help you right now”

That pivot is the essence of:

  • stewardship
  • service
  • grounded leadership
  • mature spiritual adulthood

The Akashic Records became Foundry (and other programs we offer).
The shaktis became frameworks.
The visions became strategy.
The channeling became coaching.
The gifts became offerings.

This is the moment my abilities become economically, emotionally, and spiritually relevant for others.

5. Human Fulfillment as the Highest State

The final attainment is the simplest and the most advanced: I discovered that humanity, not transcendence, is the point.

Sunsets.
Coffee.
Family.
Love.
Presence.
Work well done.
Meaningful service.
A home. (with my cats, and a dog one day)
A child someday.
Victoria’s hand in yours.
A life lived with discipline, love, and purpose.

It’s not that I lost access to the mystical. It’s that I finally understood: The mystical has always been there pointing back to life.

I learned: Peace is not a mountaintop. Peace is breakfast with someone you love.


How This Chapter Weaves the archetypes Into ONE…

This chapter completes the arc by not elevating any single archetype, but by weaving them into a coherent masculine whole.

THE KING — Responsibility Without Fantasy

This is the King fully enthroned.

Not a cosmic king. Not a spiritual king. Not a guru.

A human king:

  • responsibility for self-definition
  • responsibility to provide
  • responsibility to lead
  • responsibility to love
  • responsibility to contribute
  • responsibility for narrative integrity
  • responsibility for family

The throne is reality, sized appropriately. My kingdom begins with my state, my home. This is the full maturation of sovereignty.

THE WARRIOR — Discipline Without Distortion

Here the Warrior finally becomes clean:

Not angry. Not reactive. Not blazing through chaos.

But steady. Consistent. Focused. Accountable. Embodied.

The Warrior becomes the custodian of my nervous system, with my habits, routines, and work ethic.

This is the Warrior who builds a life that sustains, not destroys.

THE MAGICIAN — Wisdom Without Grandiosity

This chapter integrates the Magician cleanly:

  • no delusion
  • no inflated meaning
  • no chaotic downloads
  • no identity collapse
  • no bypassing

Instead, the Magician becomes:

  • a strategist
  • a designer
  • a facilitator
  • an intuitive architect
  • a master of frameworks
  • a translator of the ineffable
  • a steward of insight

This is the Magician who serves the King. This is the Magician who creates results, not spectacles.

THE LOVER — Devotion Without Dissolution

The Lover in this final chapter is:

  • grounded
  • committed
  • relational
  • embodied
  • attuned
  • soft yet strong
  • present without losing self

My relationship with Victoria becomes my earthly temple.

This is where the Lover learns that devotion is not cosmic…it’s daily.

Love as consistency.
Love as presence.
Love as responsibility.
Love as imperfection.
Love as embodiment.

This is where the Lover serves life, not illusion.


My Lionheart 6.0 Self Integration Statement

I am no longer a mystic seeking power. I am no longer a seeker chasing transcendence.

I am no longer a projector of exceptionalism. I am no longer a vessel for others’ interpretations.

I am no longer a void where identity dissolves. I am no longer burning bridges.

I am the King, Warrior, Magician and Lover in integrated form.

A man, not a myth.

A leader, not a mystic.

A builder, not a wanderer.

A husband-in-the-making, not a hermit.

A steward of gifts, not a spectacle of them.

A creator of futures, not an escapee from the present.

A man who earns his enlightenment daily…through responsibility, love, service, presence, and disciplined embodiment.

This is the Lionheart. I’m not perfect, I’m not 100% always on. But this is who I am. Now let me go steward my mission and build my kingdom, one brick, one moment, one relationship at a time.

This process of focusing on the past, on focusing on me, can border self-indulgence, can bring me out of the present moment, of being with Victoria, my family, my clients…which is does. Same thing with doing the Paramshivoham program. AND…at the same time is an essential part for me to step more fully into who I am, to bring me more fully online. And that’s the balance it seems. This has been long overdue, the absence of which has created the big time investment needed to get here, to trust the process. And moving forward I resolve to attending to it more frequently, allowing it to require far less time and be more capable of harmonizing with all the other areas expansion I’m calling in to my life.


And here’s the song: Lionheart – Chapter 8: Kingdom Built the Human Way
