Busted. Lawrence here called me out in a response to yesterdayâs post (âI know what you wantâ) Lolllllll. If you were âfree from concernâ, you wouldnât be talking about it or trying to convince us how âfreeâ you are. You wouldnât be concerned. Nice try thooooo.
Sheâs right tho. One of your signatures is to lean so hard into concerns about what people 'think' that you change them. Itâs your strength. Stay concerned bruv.
This post is making me think about something Iâve been wrestling with for a while.
A very good friend of mine has gone down the indigenous, spiritual journey, rabbit hole over the last four years.
It started with Plant medicine, journeys, to fire dances all night to vision fast out in the woods for days.
Now I donât have any problem with any of this stuff. I think itâs great. The problem I have is that my friend is never been more miserable in his entire life.
He went from a joyful, interesting person that was excited for life. Now heâs like a cardboard cut out trying to achieve some fucking Samadhi or some shit.
Our latest conversation he told me heâs just gonna stop working hard and just focus on loving himself.
Again, I think thatâs cool, but the problem is this man wants things in reality.
I think thatâs the whole problem with spirituality in general is you can go and sit in a cave and you can find contentment in that, but the second you wanna do anything in reality you need to get the fuck out of the spiritual realm and take action.
I had a really cool meditation teacher named Michael Stone and he would always remind me your spiritual practices. Need to make your life and relationships better otherwise what is the fucking point. And I think he was right.
I donât know how this relates to your situation I figured Iâd commandeer your platform to spout this.
Any thoughts ideas feedback you have would be great.
I do want to have a conversation with him and try to reel him back to reality. And I donât know if heâs also low testosterone and thatâs whatâs up with his mental health or what.
Iâm at a loss but Iâd really like to be able to reconnect with him and help him out if heâs willing.
I could probably go off even more on this, so Iâm definitely gonna write more about it so I can figure out how to construct this in a way that he is able to receive it .
