The whole point of practice is to strengthen something about “you” that was weak. We move like energy because we are energy….you know how energy moves?? In waves. It can be large waves or very small ripples. In any case it’s a cycle that we go through once we start waking up to the fact that there is no “ we.” This where the practice of presence comes in. Practice brings the roller coaster of the wave to a more stable place…peace and acceptance. Since we’ve been operating in duality so long it’s easy for us to come in to peace for a short time and then go right back to the roller coaster experiencing all the emotions of duality again and again. How do you all”practice “ to keep that stability of knowing who you are for longer periods of time?

Pure consciousness doesn't want anything. Think about that for a second. The space of pure awareness... it's not sitting there going "I really hope I get that promotion" or "I need to manifest my soulmate." It just is. And that's exactly why manifestation happens so much faster from that space. Most of us are trying to manifest from the level of the person. The ego. The identity that thinks it needs something to be complete. But here's the wild part... that person doesn't actually exist. There's just consciousness appearing as a person, appearing as desires, appearing as the whole manifestation game. When you really get this, manifestation stops being about getting something you don't have and becomes about consciousness recognizing what it already is. It's like... imagine you're dreaming you're poor and trying really hard to manifest money in the dream. You're doing all the techniques, visualizing, affirming. But then you wake up and realize you were never actually poor. You were just consciousness dreaming you were poor. That's what happens when you manifest from pure consciousness. You wake up to what's already here. The reason manifestation speeds up so dramatically is because there's no resistance at that level. Resistance comes from the belief that you're separate from what you want. That there's a "you" here and a "thing" over there that you need to somehow attract. But in pure consciousness, there's no separation. There's no you and no thing. There's just one field of awareness appearing as everything. So when something wants to manifest, it's not crossing some gap between you and it. It's just consciousness reshaping itself. Like water becoming ice. Same substance, different form. The other thing that happens is you stop trying to control what manifests. The ego has very specific ideas about what it wants and how it should show up. It wants the red car, not the blue one. It wants the relationship to look a certain way. But consciousness doesn't have preferences like that. It's not attached to outcomes.

I recently watched Gavin's Youtube Video "You'll Never be Happy because YOU Don't Exist." Somewhere in this enlightening video I found the courage to let go...of everything (I hope) lol. My desires, the story, my meaning, my past...I stopped holding on to the struggle to get. I think this is the first time that I've actually done it properly because I immediately felt a sense of relief in my body and my brain. I didn't realize how much tension i was carrying around in my skull and shoulders. This pressure contracted me and I was carrying it for so long. Now between yesterday and today, those stories, desires, wanted to come back...they wanted to be held again, but I simply took a breath and said I cannot hold you for I am nothing, I am no one and I do not have the capacity. I simply flow with the energy that turns the earth. When I tell you the amount of relief i feel...I'm waking up today unbothered, feeling "happy" for nothing simply because I stopped chasing happiness. Wow...powerful stuff. Thank you Gavin for the insight.
