There is a great need out there to dismiss or reduce someone else’s chosen direction in life as limiting or, worse yet, wrong.
This digi mag will never be about one way. My way of thinking will not be yours. But, there is a mission with this mag and that self-awareness and authenticity, and finding the courage to achieve that awareness and peace from non-conformity; and integration of your chosen unrecognized aspects or shadows in life. That is your nirvana!
I have been given bits and pieces on my journey to self-awareness and needed healing in what feels like my whole life. At times, I applied, and many times I have ignored that intuition or quiet insight for direction. Instead, I opted for my ego. Your ego is the mental obsession, or prison, in a daily battle we rage for self-gaslighting ourselves (you’re okay, it’s them). That entitlement that “we” have all the answers, and that what “we’re” doing is the only way, thus repeating the endless patterns of escapism through relationships, work, and achievements to drown out the noise of discomfort.
You either are comfortable in life, or you’re uncomfortable. Period, the end! Being uncomfortable is also a very loose term for your general health and well-being. Is your life a struggle? Or empty of feeling? These are the feelings of discomfort we deny.
We as a human race place so much value on chasing material items, others, and feeling those dopamine hits from achievements. We forget to listen to what that discomfort is all about. Plus, with the bombardment of information online and now with AI, the deluge of information creates a perfect storm of confusion.
I completely resonate with that, too. OMG…the endless YouTube channels, books, and internet searches I have done would rival anyone in a forced confinement situation, with limited options on what to do for entertainment.
I have known peace and alignment. So, when I’m not experiencing that resonance or feeling, it doesn’t feel good. So, I have no choice but to deal with it. That is the entire evolution of self. When you have experienced that feeling, you never want it to leave.
Finding the courage to dig deep takes time, and it is lonely and incredibly unwanted. But I never lost hope, especially when that’s all that I had to hold on to. The benefits of integrating the shadow side of ourself is the most painful work a human can do. But, so is living unaware or in a lack mindset.
I’m not for everyone, neither is this Digi Mag. But those who need to experience it will. And just like with me, those who need to experience me will. I never sit in force, or judgment if they don’t want that experience. So, get out of your head and start embracing peace. Peace comes from the illumination of what you bring to the table, the good and the bad, because happiness is the natural byproduct of peace.
