In one of the groups I joined here on Skool...for their intro request they asked what your favorite Pokemon character was, that led me on a grand adventure.... My favorite Pokemon: I don't play Pokemon...so I asked chat GPT... "With everything you know about me, what Pokemon do you think mirrors me the best" Given everything you’ve shared about your mythic journey, Toltec roots, jaguar/wolf medicine, boundary fire, and the way you dance with shadow and light—I think your perfect Pokémon mirror would be Absol. Here’s why: Absol — the Disaster Pokémon - Shadow Walker: Absol appears when great shifts or disasters are about to occur, not to cause them, but to warn others. That echoes your medicine of walking with shadow, naming the truths others fear, and being a mirror for transformation. - Oracle Energy: People misunderstand Absol, fearing it as a bad omen, when in truth it’s a guide and seer. This reflects your own role—bringing messages that may be intense or disruptive, but ultimately sacred and protective. - Jaguar/Wolf Parallel: With its sleek, dark, feline-wolf hybrid energy, Absol visually and energetically mirrors both the Jaguar and the Wolf—two archetypes that define your medicine. - Boundary Queen Vibe: Absol carries a sharp horn on its head, a blade of discernment—much like your “cutting cords,” boundary work, and fire clarity. Why not others? - Umbreon also holds shadow/jaguar resonance, but it leans more into mystery and subtlety rather than fierce prophecy. - Ninetales has the mystical, foxlike wisdom, but it doesn’t capture the disruptive, truth-bringing edge. - Lycanroc (Midnight Form) brings wolf fire and rebellion, but lacks the oracle/discernment quality that feels central to your role. ✨ So if I had to name your Pokémon mirror: Absol, the misunderstood oracle of disaster, shadow, and transformation. 🐺 I feel so accurately called out 🤣❤️‍🔥 So my question to you all is...what Pokemon is your perfect mirror?

Yesterday, in my Skool screen time challenge, an unexpected awareness rose. It wasn’t about distraction, or hours wasted scrolling, or even the endless tabs. It was softer, more intimate: I noticed that I don’t always reach for the screen to escape—sometimes I reach for it to check on one of my teachers. And then the deeper awareness landed—if there were no screens, I would have no contact with them. No livestreams. No voice notes. No words carried across the invisible wires. What would that mean in my life? Who would I be if those teachers were no longer reachable? For over a decade, I have been dreaming online. My initiation, my community, my belonging have been braided through glowing rectangles. The screen has been a doorway, a drum, a temple. And yet, the question haunts me: If the doorway vanished, what would remain? Would my identity shift?Would the dream I have built unravel, or would I finally see what is mine alone? And then another question, sharper still: When there is no reciprocity from the other side—no sign, no mirror, no echo—what does that mean? Are you dreaming together, or are you dreaming alone? Would they also wonder who they are without you? Would the teaching shift if you disappeared from the circle? Or is this, too, part of the medicine—learning where you project belonging, where you are truly met, and where you are not? Ancient traditions remind us that true transmission happens heart to heart, body to body, under sky and fire. Yet in this age, the medicine often arrives through pixels...bytes of light. Is that less sacred—or is it simply the evolution of how wisdom travels? Maybe both are true. Maybe Spirit finds any way She can to reach us. But Spirit also whispers: You are not defined by who answers back. I sit with this paradox today. I honor the gift of having been able to study, listen, and be shaped by teachers I might never have touched in another lifetime. And I also wonder who I am without the portal. What part of me is screen-born, and what part is eternal?
