UnBecoming Part 1.3 – The Wake Up (5/10/2026)
“Little children, keep yourselves from idols.” -1 John 5:21
You’d told yourself the same story for years. You’d given them everything. Your time, your service, gifts… but if you were being truthful with yourself, it was so you could receive their time, their service, their gifts, their love. You’d placed your peace at their feet. Offering your tears like a sacrifice, hoping they’d have mercy on you. Hoping they’d truly see you. But they couldn’t. You couldn’t. CONTINUED HERE.
THIS IS NOT A DRILL: The Cure for the Disbelief
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” -1 Corinthians 13:12
There is always new noise here that I have to compete with to get this message out without noise. The message itself is noise, but it is contrast for the silence.
There is a woodpecker right outside the front of the house. Ironically, the place where I record is called the mudroom. It is in the garage, at the back of the garage, and it opens out to the ocean. But it is called a mudroom, and all I could think of was that is where lotuses come from. It is where we sprout up from.
On the other side of the mudroom door, going toward the street, there is a light post. I have heard a woodpecker out there about the same time every day, but definitely when it is time to record. He is already recording. He is already drilling. When I sit down to pray or to chant, he is chanting. He is drilling down further. He is persistent. I hear him even when I am not seated in formal prayer.
This practice keeps me in mind. It wakes me back up to mine because, in truth, I am not chanting. I am hearing and joining in on the grand one that has been going on since before time, since before this birth in seeming time. And yes, it sounds like me. It is and it isn’t. You are and you aren’t.
Right now, your outer circumstances haven’t caught up to your inner revelation, to your inner light. The mirror lags here. The webpage loads slow. All that you see is just the exhaust of the engine of the name that is eternal. It is smoke, and it is clearing. You are beginning to see more of reality, more morality.
But it is still the veil. It is still all illusion. It is Maya. Write “Maya” on that body’s hand today, in the webbing between its forefinger and thumb. That way, every time it reaches for its phone, or for a cup, or for a problem, you know the truth. Only the name of the Lord is real. Everything else is illusion, and you are beginning to hear it now.
Listen for it beyond the breath. Beyond the pulse of that body. Listen for it in the feet of that body and in the heart of that body. Listen for it as this voice. It is this voice. You are just translating it in real time into these words, into this message that is pointing back at it. Untranslated, raw, and unfiltered.
You have graduated from asking and from seeking. That is the temptation you have been praying to be delivered from. You know what is yours is yours, and it cannot miss you. It has not missed you. It is surrounding you. It is so big and so close that you cannot see the edges of it yet. You are face to face with it. No face to no face.
You don’t have to believe anything. Just be love now. I love you.
