Yesterday I published a piece called Delete Your Cryptocurrency App.
I had some further thoughts arise on this topic and felt called to write a follow-up, which then turned into what you are now reading: A longer multi-dimensional reflection on manifestation and my life-journey. Let’s dive in.
One of my key points in yesterday’s piece was that, by frequently checking your cryptocurrency portolio-balance, you are reinforcing the vibration of the past version of you that created that number.
Furthermore, every time you check this number, you are self-hypnotizing into a belief that says, “I am worth $X.”
Notice how this is a literal affirmation that you are giving to yourself every time you check this number. Unless you are Thoth or Jesus, this is definitely affecting you.
Some traders and crypto enthusiasts are checking this number dozens or even hundreds of times per day, repeatedly giving themselves the affirmation, “I am worth this number on the screen.”
Furthermore, they are almost always doing this from an energy of wanting the number to increase, thereby also subtly self-hypnotizing into the belief, “What I am worth is not enough. I need to be worth more. There is not enough money.”
Perhaps you can start to see the trap here. If you believe there is not enough money, you will subtly feel unworthy and as if there is not enough money, regardless of how much money you ostensibly have.
Your true worth is immeasurable. Every nanosecond of your life is priceless.
You are literally worth infinity bitcoin.
So notice how every time you look at a number on a screen that is less than infinity bitcoin, and you tell yourself that this is what you are worth, you are lying to yourself and self-hypnotizing into a limited belief about what you are and what you are worth.
It took me a long time to realize this.
I became fascinated by cryptocurrency circa ~2017, bought some at that time, and have been on a rollercoaster journey with it since then. It’s been a potent mirror.
Sometimes I would go for months without really checking on it. At other times I would be basically obsessed with it, checking it dozens of times per day. I knew I felt not-good and anxious when I did this, but I was addicted to the ‘slot machine effect’ of it and told myself I was doing this to grow my wealth and free myself.
~10 days ago or so, the realizations I am sharing finally ‘clicked’ into place on a sufficiently deep level, and I deleted my cryptocurrency app.
Since that time, I checked Coin Market Cap once, a few days ago, but that’s it.
As I wrote yesterday, I am now seeking a way to outsource all my cryptocurrency trading/investing. Unlisted Project is the best-looking solution I’ve found so far. If you know of others, please let me know.
Cleaning Up My Consciousness
At the time of deleting my cryptocurrency app, I was only in the habit of checking it once or twice per day, and overall I was feeling great at that time.
Since deleting the app, I feel even better. It feels like a subtle energy-sapping impurity has been plucked out of my consciousness.
I felt similarly when I recently used News Feed Eradicator to remove all my remaining social media timelines. I had removed Facebook years ago. I also removed Twitter recently. Now I have additionally removed Instagram, YouTube, and Reddit. This feels fantastic.
These action steps are part of a larger shift that began when I became a father ~4 months ago.
Unlike anything else previously, the catalyst of fatherhood has propelled me toward permanent alignment.
I have felt inspired to embark on a gradual ongoing journey of purifying my life, cleaning up all subtle misalignments, and sealing all energetic leaks.
I can already feel how this is freeing up tremendous stores of energy, bandwidth, and open space for new and exciting possibilities to rapidly flow into my reality. Things have begun to feel remarkably accelerated.
Anurag Gupta deeply inspired me in this regard last month, in a training within Bentinho Massaro’s extraordinary training program, No Limits Society.
A few years ago, Anurag actually gave away all his money so he could purely focus on service to the Earth without even the subtle temptation to “do it for the money.”
Anurag illuminated for all of us many of the subtle ways that people leak energy and sabotage their alignment: Addictions, distractions, superfluous non-sacred possessions, toxic relationships, unhandled life-administration tasks (e.g. taxes, debts, etc.), mismanaged physical wellness / fitness, digital ‘junk’ piles, non-cleared inboxes, unresolved resentments / regrets / blame / guilt, unwholesome habits, dogmatic opinions and beliefs, (victim) identities, mistaking thoughts/concepts for reality, and so forth.
I had been aware of ‘energy leaks’ previously, thanks to Jiro Taylor and Shambhala Warrior, and Anurag’s training session brought forth the perfect codes at the perfect moment to really hammer home the significance of this concept on a new level.
Anurag suggested that accessing one’s Full Power in virtually any pursuit in life is not possible until one (largely) cleans up all this type of stuff. As this stuff gets cleaned up, one feels lighter and lighter, non-linear momentum builds, and one increasingly becomes an unstoppable, single-pointed force of permanent alignment.
Anurag suggested that we ‘play the long game’ on this, start chipping away at it at an enjoyable pace, and see what happens over 18 months. He noted that as the more obvious stuff gets cleaned up, more subtle layers will reveal themselves, on and on, suggesting that the process may be unending.
As Tanja and I have engaged this life-and-consciousness cleaning/clearing process, the effect is palpable. This stuff really works. It feels amazing.
I had already known this on one level, yet now it’s deeply sinking in.
Tuning in to Your Infinite Account Balance
So, that is the broader context in which my cryptocurrency app-deletion took place.
Since deleting it, I feel a detoxification taking place within my consciousness.
I notice fewer and fewer thoughts arising about my current portfolio value.
As such, I notice myself ceasing to take my vibrational cues from that number.
Instead, I am now more completely focused on tuning into my truly infinite account balance:
The Perfection of Now.
The Heaven that is already here.
I am more wholly tuning my being to the omnipresent riches of experience itself, as well as the truly infinite resources and possibilities that are available to me—the Infinite Abundance that I am.
I am downloading exciting visions and bathing in the excitement-frequency of the visions as if they are already-realized, for I know that on a profound level everything is already here.
The non-linear effects of this shift in focus are already pronounced.
There is a deepening peace and joy and reveling in the Eternal Now.
And there is a giddy excitement about the already-present ‘future’—an excitement to see how the Perfection of Now continues to reshape and reformat itself to present to ‘me’ an appearance that vibrationally matches my frequency.
As I said before, there is a powerful feeling and knowing of acceleration.
It is as if the effect of clearing away misalignments is ‘quantum’ and non-linear, enabling an increasingly exponential acceleration of Magic, as one earnestly engages the process.
This exciting feeling of acceleration is savored and enjoyed as one of the many juicy textures that make up the Perfection of Now.
If You Love the Game of Crypto…
I want to note that, if you’re in love with cryptocurrency trading and are not ready to delete your app, that’s perfectly okay.
It is not my intention to make anyone ‘wrong’ in this entire existence. All is well. You are precisely where you ought to be, at all times.
If that game is exciting for you and if you are effectively building life-changing wealth via that game, that’s awesome! I celebrate that and all of life and am excited about the massive wealth transfer that is occurring.
As always: Take what is presently useful and resonant and relevant from my writings, and let go of what is not.
I can simply recommend to you to ask yourself whether the game of crypto-trading/-investing is truly exciting for you, and to look closely at how it is making you feel on a day-to-day basis.
I can also recommend deeply inquiring into the question of why you are wanting to build monetary wealth: What is this wealth for? What dream of yours will it allow you to fulfill?
If you are engaging in this game purely as a means to an end, I would recommend to you to consider that there is a more direct path to the life of your dreams.
The Direct Path to Your Dreams
The direct path is to begin viscerally being and feeling and living as the version of you that exists in your highest vision for yourself.
Revel in the Perfection of Now, bathe in the excitement-frequency of the already-realized vision, and drop all neediness and expectation for how anything must show up, or what it must look like. Stay wide open in the Infinite Possibility Space, grateful for the richness of Now.
To truly do this may require you to make a revolutionary change to your environment and relationships. You may need to get away from everything and everyone you presently know for a while, in order to extricate yourself from the constantly-reinforced vibrational matrix of your present reality-tunnel.
Again, do whatever is necessary to begin viscerally being and feeling and living as the version of you that exists in your highest vision for yourself.
This is the direct path.
Be your Highest Excitement.
Whatever you are a vibrational match for, must appear.
This is how reality works.
It is astonishing how rapidly and synchronistically reality can reshape itself to mirror back to you the truth of what you are being, if you are able to truly stay with the vibration of the already-realized vision, in a state of non-neediness and deep enjoyment of Now.
When you are vibrationally ready for it, it will appear.
Though, again, do not attach to what ‘it’ has to look like. Just know that it will be epically awesome, because it will match the vibration of your soul’s true desire.
All the hoops we jump through, all the “means to an end” games we explore, are truthfully delays we are creating because we do not deem ourselves worthy of our true desire.
We jump through endless hoops in an attempt to accumulate ‘permission slips’ that will finally allow us to feel worthy and vibrationally ready to receive our Heaven.
Yet Heaven is omnipresent, and in any moment it is possible to simply give yourself permission to begin knowing and experiencing the Heaven that is your birthright.
All souls’ truest desire is for God, for Heaven, for Home, for the Perfection of Now. And we find this Home at the exact moment that we fully allow ourselves to feel and receive what is always already the case.
As soon as a soul is truly ready to remember God, nothing in existence can keep God away.
The same is true of any pure desire. If you were to simply give yourself permission now to feel 1,111% worthy and vibrationally ready to receive, then you would find your dreams rapidly appearing all around you. You would find yourself on a rapidly-accelerated and magical path careening through dreamscapes in the direction of ever-more-epic manifestations of your Highest Excitement.
Hilariously, once this begins to happen, you also gradually realize that this has always been the case. You are on the magical path through the dreamscapes of your soul right now. You always are. You’ve always been creating exactly what you wish to experience. Exactly. And each moment you’ve created is a completely-new, once-in-existence art-work and revelation. This is always the case.
You are nothing other than the pure intelligence of the All, you see. And you do not make mistakes.
Reflecting on My Path
I began to viscerally know I was on this magical accelerated path about ~11 years ago when I first experienced psilocybin mushrooms at age 19. The omnipresent Light began to pierce through my deeply-conditioned reality-tunnel.
The magic became even more apparent ~8 years ago, when at age 22 I left everything and everyone I ever knew, boarded a plane to Asia, and lived there for 16 months. This is when I first truly knew I was living the life of my dreams and that my entire lifetime could become a Great Adventure.
Further quantum leaps have occurred since 2018 when I began working with the trans-dimensional intelligence known as ayahuasca, which ignited further acceleration and awakening and expansion and surrender to the Flow of Highest Excitement.
In 2019 I began diving deeper than ever before into sacred texts and non-dual literature on enlightenment, which allowed for further portals to open, leading to progressively more profound vistas and a deepening recognition of reality.
2020 was the year my wondrous wife-to-be Tanja arrived in my reality, and our accelerated partnership and soul-mirroring path began to unfold, bringing many ongoing revelations.
2020 was also the year the Divine avatar-teacher Bufo Alvarius showed up in my reality and began to bestow the most astonishing direct knowingness of God in this lifetime.
2020 was also the year the great teacher known as “COVID” showed up in my reality and catalyzed immense acceleration.
And 2021 was the year that my greatest teacher baby Lila joined us, catalyzing the tremendous ongoing shift that inspired this post.
And next month, in January of 2022, Tanja, Lila, and I will be moving to the Azores, where we intuit that more New Earth enchantment is waiting to find us.
Along the way many sages and teachers began to appear in my reality to teach me directly; I cannot mention them all here, though here are a few who have been magnificent catalysts and illuminators on my path: Peter, Remi & Ashley, Bentinho & No Limits Society, Marie Lou & Anke, Barine, Delia, Jiro & the Shambhala Warrior brotherhood, Jon, Eric, Dane, Jonathan, Gilad, Atlas, Ula, Heather, Juliet, Nikhil, Martijn, Jordan, the Ouroboros Tribe, the Refine The Mind community, the HighExistence team & community, Jonathon, CoryaYo, Aylanur, Kana, Aileen, Jacki, Marybeth, Ellen, Nurdip, Trevor, Austin, Dunzo, Offsite, Rowan, Milo, Mike, Eric, Eric, Mike, Joe, Anna, my parents, family and friends, beautiful indigenous shamans whose names I do not remember, various other entheogenic and extraterrestrial and plant intelligences I have not yet mentioned, the Jungle, many forests and mountains and oceans, the Sun, the Moon, the clouds, and many more.
I’d feel remiss now if I did not also specifically mention some of the great teachers who electrified and taught me (primarily) via their recorded words, audio, art-works, songs, and videos: Nietzsche, Jed McKenna, David Hawkins, Adyashanti, Byron Katie, Lao Tzu, KOOL A.D., R.A.P. Ferreira, Alan Watts, Terence McKenna, Eckhart Tolle, Bashar, Pema Chodron, The Three Initiates, Thoth, Hermes Trismegistus, Jesus, Buddha, Jim Newman, Rupert Spira, Darryl Bailey, Richard Sylvester, Robert Anton Wilson, Yogananda, Nisargadatta, MF DOOM, Mac Miller, Oliver Francis, Del the Funky Homosapien, Hieroglyphics, Kool Keith, Dunzo Donalds, Offsite, Kanye West, many other rappers, Ramana Maharshi, Anandamayi Ma, Babaji, Seng T’sang, Chuang Tzu, Mooji, Papaji, Abraham (Hicks), Ra, Aaron, Q’uo, Aleister Crowley, Dostoevsky, David Foster Wallace, Murakami, J.K. Rowling, David Chapman, Rilke, Charles Eisenstein, Tao Lin, and many more.
Along the way my beloved parents, sister Anna, brothers Mike and Joe, furry siblings Maggie, Sadie, & Buddy, grandparents, aunts and uncles, other family members, in-laws-to-be, all my Iowa & Midwest homies, and so many more human and animal friends around the world have also been incredibly powerful mirrors and sources of inspiration for me as I’ve traversed the path of this lifetime. I increasingly see that all beings are diamond-buddhas providing each other with the precise perfect reflection that is needed in each moment.
Lastly, I’d be a fool if I did not acknowledge the many heartbreaks, deaths-and-rebirths, traumas, and enormous suffering that found and haunted me on many occasions in this lifetime. Suffering and death have undoubtedly been among the greatest teachers, friends, and catalysts along my path. I thank them dearly.
This is one version of “the story of my past.” I now see ‘the past’ as something far-less-solid than I used to. I feel it is primarily a story we are constantly re-generating in the Now. If we truly wish, I feel we can literally generate a completely different past at any time. Sometimes I play around with re-imagining aspects of my past, though generally I do not feel called to do this. I love and honor the apparently memory-based story that presents itself to me now as the most “factual” account of this lifetime. I love and honor the mythology of JB.
In Sum
Doubtlessly I am forgetting many other vital catalysts that contributed to bringing me to this precise moment now, typing these words, feeling grateful for it all.
It’s been a wild ride. :)
As I often say, Life itself is the master teacher.
All of Life is the teaching, all of Life is the ceremony.
The Dance of the One Eternal Life is unending.
Thank you for reading what has turned into quite a long and multi-dimensional essay.
As always, I hope it has been in some way valuable and useful for you.
Love,
JB
