025: Truest Thing + Sativa Yoga™

Cannabis UNIFIES my passion for ecological + emotional well-being. I am now partnered with cannabis to promote its legal + social vindication through Sativa Yoga™. Here are a few quick facts:

• It is a devotional response to a plant that teaches + heals.
• It promotes the personal liberation of its practitioners.
  
• It does not require cannabis consumption to practice, nor does it encourage breaking any cannabis laws, but it does zealously promote reforming them!
• It blends meditative movement + sound, activism and, in the inspiring tradition of Carl Sagan, responsible, adult consciousness exploration (where legal).
• It arouses biophilia in nature-neutral + nature-negative people (environmentalism begins *inside* us, as a strong awareness or affection... and it works its way outside us as a side-effect of love. That is biophilia.).

And so much more. This path supports you as you allow life to be the wildly radiant uprising of love  + liberation that it wants to be.

Make time + space for it... for the excavation + presentation of the true you. Toss the faker-phernalia in the roaring bonfire, and SEE YOURSELF in truth-telling flames. KNOW YOURSELF, free of anyone's manipulative agenda.

Your essence. Your musk.

Spray it.

Be found by those who are actually attracted to your true self. Your true scent.

Enjoy the symbiosis of musk-made matches, in friendship, romance or business.

What's the truest thing you can say?

That was the guiding question I used while writing an essay about introversion, inwardness and the inner life. I kept asking myself that question to keep me from falling into RE-search, and focus instead, on SEARCH.

It was messy.

And liberating.

And scary.

And worth it.

I realize I have come to sound angry at popular culture, for the way it has socialized us to be consumer-bots. I am angry about that, and the truest things I can say are not, necessarily, likable to mainstream society... so that is antagonistic. I mean no harm, or offense. A personal hero, Terence McKenna, said that dominant culture is not our friend. I agree. It averts the truth about things, and then asks (and sometimes forces) us to participate in a variety of collective illusions that aren't even interesting. Let alone good or wise. Each line drawn in the inherited blueprint of our life -- from school onward -- was for the furtherance of our ability to consume.

Not discover. Cherish. Restore. Plant. Explore. Nurture. Make. Create. Know + grow our own minds.

No, our highest collective pursuit is to consume. As if buying was being.

My truest thing? Cannabis advocacy.

Creating a life that actually feels like yours absolutely requires regular times of unplugging from group consciousness, so that you can come to really know your own consciousness. You might be surprised by how very different your true self is from your presented self. In my opinion, the most courageous + revolutionary thing we can do IS TO PRESENT OUR TRUE SELF. To not accommodate things + people that try to diminish our true self. This is disruptive work... to fling your mask.

Show yourself. When you have a decision to make, listen for your truest thing. Let it count. Let it influence your voice + your actions.
