tell me some of your most bizarre, unexpected, and profound signs and synchronicities from God/Universe/Source/Spirit/Creator. i'll go first. this came up in a conversation yesterday with someone who asked me about the painting behind me when i do my tiktok lives. i finally was able to make the connection and it was totally unexpected but hilarious at the same time, because i've been getting signs since at least 2005. i bought my first house when i was 24 in orlando, florida and became friends with my neighbor cameron, who is british guy and an art teacher at full sail university who created incredible artwork himself. this was one of his signature gallery paintings and he tried to sell to me, so he hung it in my house in 2005 on wall right when you entered my house and it lived on that wall for well over a year. he said he didn't have anywhere to store it and it looked great in my house, so i could borrow it until it grew on me and i could buy it from him. the catch was, he wanted wanted $5K for it! i said that i would never in a million years pay $5K for artwork and that i was fine with whatever i could find at ross and tj maxx. he got desperate for money after it was hanging in my house for about a year. he practically begged me to buy it and i still couldn't do it. but he was a friend, and i wanted to help, but i never bought artwork over $50 before. we negotiated for $300 cash and a used mini kegerator from craigslist, and we were both happy 😄 i knew it was a spiritual painting and absolutely love it in my office, but i didn't think too much about the deeper meaning of it until a girl on tiktok DM'd me and said she had a VISION of that exact painting. this morning, i decided to flip it over and read the title of the piece: Old Spirits Meet at a Shaman Gathering the universe has been speaking to me since cam delivered that painting to my house in 2005, but i never understood the message fully until today. welcome to all of you old spirits to this community and gathering.

As the number of members here in this community continues to grow, I want to be able to serve everyone better, so I am hoping that you can answer this poll. What type of material would make this community more valuable? How can we attract the RIGHT people to build this collective?

When you die, you get buried in the ground, then all the bugs eat you and that's where it ends. That's how I felt before I turned 40 and then my life changed. I had everything I could have ever wanted, then lost it all because I had a spiritual awakening, and now I am building this community to help others on their journey. I traveled to 37 countries for leisure before I was 32 and literally been around the world, learning about different cultures, people, and exploring the Earth. I went from being a millionaire at aged 28, to selling a digital marketing business at 32, then getting completely fucked during the sale because of COVID-19. The final bulk payment for the sale of the business was due on March 30, 2020 and the dude who bought the business said that our contract was null and void according to the “Act of God” provision. He walked away from a $700K bill and basically said “Fuck You” while keeping the business, vendor relationships, and all of it’s assets. Then my wife and I got into a car accident on July 7, 2020. She was driving my Maserati truck down a country road here in Sarasota, slowed down to avoid hitting a deer, and someone smashed into the back of my truck. She hit her head on the steering wheel and suffered a traumatic brain injury, where she had damage to her prefrontal cortex (where decisions are made and emotions are managed). We thought it was a concussion, but she never really recovered from it. I didn’t realize it for almost a full year that she was never going to get better. She didn't think that anything changed, but can't remember who she was before the accident. The girl I spent my whole life looking for thought that I was an abuser, gaslighter, and that I was the reason that everything was getting fucked up in our lives. We had a smoke shop distribution business together and we started losing money hand over fist. $5-$10K a month down the drain because she was fucking up left and right and I could no longer count on her because she couldn’t make logical decisions.
