When I write so much of life speaks through me, so I am talking to life and its many faces. I am only the voice for something far greater than myself.

Most spiritual traditions come from a forgotten world, the western mind does not understand the world from which these techniques and traditions arose, and as such the natural purity of their translation is lost in human corruption, in the nature of our own impermanence.

We convert spirituality into a western mind frame because we do not find satisfaction within our own culture, so we consume other cultures and the planet, our own food source, in a misguided effort to understand ourselves.

To understand spirituality we must understand simplicity. That we must exist simplistically, in correct relation to our planet and our communities, in correct action inside of ourselves. You would not hesitate to discard what is excessive in your life for the benefit of a greater creation, being content with the fulfillment of your needs, and happy to contribute your material efforts to alleviate the suffering of humanity and the greater welfare of the planet.

Most spiritual practice is improperly understood, and is often used in this manner, to hide from the reality of the human condition. Western conversions advocate this in practice and application, and so because of this most people who are involved in spiritual movements fall into the trap of humanity and become sheep who wish to hide from the truth of responsibility, of self-knowledge.

We want the fruits of spiritual practice yet we deny the actual work and discipline required to understand the sacredness of it, we are too afraid to make the sacrifices required to live truth inside of ourselves, to do what we know to be correct and to reach our full potential.

We lack the courage to separate ourselves from the lies we know to exist inside of of us, and so we justify our excuses with our spiritual ego, a defense mechanism we have created to allow us to feel spiritual while still participating in systems which are wrong, while still desecrating the essence of what is true in this world, the purity of nature and the purity of the divine, until we cannot see truth anymore.

Our society teaches us to be superficial, so our ego is what we covet and it becomes the display case of what we consider to be spiritual, what we have adorned to accommodate our self importance. Even this is superficial, it is another way to hide from the truth of being.

In the Western World we are taught to equate large Ego with Success, because to succeed in a capitalist paradigm you need to have a huge ego capable of elevating your self importance above the entire world. I am speaking from eternity.

In reality, The ego is the filter, it is a social buffer which allows us to interface with the material realm. The ego is also easily programmed so it becomes susceptible to outside influence.

Our culture programs the ego to behave in a certain mannerisms, so anyone participating in a cultural context has a program. If we do not free ourselves from this trap we will be a slave to the cultural mannerisms we are born into. Traveling in other cultures and living with different people is a way to help decondition this and broaden your perspective. Don't be a tourist, actually live on the level with the people and be humble with them.

I lived on the streets of Guatemala & Mexico for 3 months with the Mayans, and that is how I learned to understand them, because I was just as poor, I was in the same Situation. I had to depend on their community and generous hearts to get food and so I had to work with them. Because of this they gave me activations in my consciousness, they blessed me with their medicine. Life gave me some of her secrets and her poison.

In many western translations of spirituality we have an issue with the spiritual ego, in that we use our spirituality to inflate our self importance and to hide from our shadows. When we are with the Spirit we do not need to feel important, because it is this importance that allows us to step on all the little people of the world, all the other living beings who we take for granted which are supporting our existence.

So now we are spiritual capitalists, we do spiritual business, we sell spiritual trinkets imported over seas at the expense of our mother earth, exploiting the culture of the indigenous, we sell workshops and seminars about how to be spiritual, about what is "SHAMAN". Shaman is in life, you do not understand SHAMAN. You think you can pay for it? Then you are just a tourist in life.

So we use our spirituality to take advantage of other life forms and to justify our excess consumption. We justify incorrect action with our ego, When in reality this is only a way of saying that we believe ourselves to be more important than life. This is why our species will die. Ay! I am messing with you, I am only joking, so don't shake in your boots. Only some of you will die, Most of you... Someone told me you can transcend your bodies and go to the 5th dimension anyway, so I hope it is better there for you.

You receive divine insight and then you immediately integrate it into your ego. You see beyond yourself for one moment and then the ego takes over and you incorporate that experience inside of you and see it as something "you" have achieved.

So now we also use non-discernment, non-attachment, and meditation to numb themselves from the consequences of our actions and our lives, to deal with stress in the work place instead of realizing that our lives would be better if we applied our energy towards solutions rather than perpetuating known problems. We desecrate the purity of the earth and true spiritual tradition with our material greed until the spirit which birthed us has been stripped away, so now our native populations smoke tobacco owned by corporations that rape the earth as a sacrament, praying to the banks of Babylon rather than to the purity of nature.

This is the kind of mentality that desecrates tradition until it becomes the box that enslaves a culture rather than frees it, because we are so busy clinging onto a dream that already died instead of confronting the reality of the situation and changing our ways to reflect the purity of what we know to be true in our hearts.

People want to enjoy the luxuries of spiritual connection while still being able to live a gluttonous lifestyle that is out of balance, neglecting our responsibility to our material reality, to harm and rape our mother, the earth. This is why our culture is decaying, and this is why most of you will likely watch your children suffer insurmountably as they inherit our follies. Retreat into nature, this is our sanctuary. We told you this so many times, just go live in the woods and it will be alright. Everything you need is there, in the purity of nature. I am supposed to be in Peru right now but hey I failed something, some test of life, so I have to talk to you while I live in the streets of this country. Whatever, I do not care if I die. When it is time I will know.

Spirituality applied practically is a methodology and understanding which allows you to achieve symbiosis with your reality. If your tradition or technique does not lead to inner union or gnosis with your reality then you are probably missing something important, if you are not performing and witnessing miracles then you need to go back to school. If you are only using spirituality to escape from what you know to be incorrect then you are living a lie.

The way, is that we understand and live our dharma, our truth, through simplicity. What I have understood is that true simplicity comes from unification and contentedness with what is with us in the moment, and to know ourselves by what is within us. If we our content in our own being we no longer require so much consumption. The void that we put our garbage into will dissipate and be replaced with something that fulfills and nurtures us.

If we die to ourselves in the mind we no longer remain attached to the world around us. When the mind falls away we can live from the sacredness of our hearts, in the truth of nature. We release ourselves into non-being and from this place we achieve an inner stillness which allows us to become more content with simplistic living and being. Inner silence allows for the cultivation of energy which can allow us to come into a deeper sense of being and inner knowing. The more we will understand the secrets of life, the nature of being. It does not come from a book, it comes from the silence, from our inner self, from nature....

What I have been instructed to do is to explain that people need to understand how to live in simplicity as we have done before. The situation is that an unhealthy life style where we take more than what is needed will result in the destruction of our biosphere and the genocide of cultures which are connected to the organic wisdom of the planet. These indigenous populations were maintaining a majority of our knowledge and the purity of our relation with nature, as one friend of mine from a village in Nepal told me, the indigenous are maintaining the innocence of humanity.

Unfortunately we are plugged into a global system of corporations which is continually destroying these cultures and the purity of nature, our home, our mother. We turned our backs to her, and we continue to do so every time we fill up our gas tank, every time we go out to eat. We support war and corruption because we refuse simplicity in our lives, because we are only told to consume, we do not know how to sacrifice. This is why you are all getting cancer, because you are the cancer of nature. You are the disease.

You see simplicity as a limitation, your cultural ego that was programmed into you from birth told you it was OK to consume in excess, we accept what is wrong in life... It is not OK to allow the government to kill on your behalf, it is not OK to support this. It is not OK to support war with your dollars so we can have nice things at the expense of other cultures. This is our culturally accepted practice which each and every one of you reinforces every day. You are Pigs.

The system you serve is destroying what is organic to life, so we must change it or our species will die. When you live in true simplicity you can have everything you need through your union with your environment. Anything that you take that does not come from your immediate environment, from nature, will cause greater destruction to the entire biosphere and every living species on the planet. If you actually cared you would be building community gardens and giving up your commodities.

We may be acutely aware of what we are doing, no big deal you know, just the ecocide of the entire planet and of every indigenous population. We're only killing our children, no big deal. that we are participating in the global genocide of our mother. Every action is creating karma, creating consequence which will reverberate and effect us. So we are responsible for this mess, and either you are working to clean it up or you are busy dying, busy getting sick. Probably both at once.

You whole society offers sedatives to help you escape from this reality, you are a population which requires tranquilization to remain stable. The government could not handle the volume of the population if it was not massively sedated. This is why your water has chemicals in it, your food is GMO to mutate your DNA, your technology is a sedative as well allowing you to escape from nature in a virtual world that has no substance. You do not know life anymore because you are plugged into boxes. People live in boxes and die in boxes because they are afraid of nature.

Nature gives you strength, otherwise you are busy dying, you have no life force, no strength. You do not know how to survive anymore, how to exist. You do not know the power of nature. When Life is with you, you can dance in a tornado and laugh in the face of death. We used to spend all night dancing around the fire, chanting, drumming, singing, when we were a tribe. I remember this, because I was there in spirit. I remember dancing and singing all night in spirit, I remember the ghost dance, I remember these things from other life times, because these worlds are inside of me, because I am all things, and so is anyone who is willing to die... It was different, because we would go beyond the ego, we were one mind together with, total unity in ourselves, with nature. You do not remember how to do this anymore so you have to take drugs.

Everything changes, I am death, I am medicine, I am life, I am guru, I am you, I am earth, I am all things. You don't get this, your culture is rotting. You are maggots eating the rotting flesh of this earth. This is medicine, you will understand.

If you are taking more than what is natural to your environment you are destroying and committing ecocide and genocide. Simplicity.

Every time you use money, you drive a car, you step on the planet. You step on every person that had to work for that product to exist in the first place. Our entire economic system is based on the exploitation of the planet and the indigenous population. Because this action is not sustainable and connected into a global economic system, the run-off goes into 3rd world countries and into the belly of our mother. You are killing your shamans, the planet, your teachers. The ones here who came and incarnated to help you, these are the people you are destroying. The ones who have been sustaining you, these are the people you kill. The nature that has been sustaining you, this is what you kill.

You live a lie. You are taught to be superficial. Donate money to a charity but still work a 9 to 5 that is supporting destructive process, that is the polite way to say yes I am still OK raping my mother, to give yourself a sad excuse and pretend to be helping something so you can sleep at night. Speak out against the government but you still use their system? You are a rebellious teen who does not have the balls to move out of the house...

When you love life you will give up anything, if you really cared you would get rid of your phones, get rid of your jobs, quit participating in corruption. Why you do this to yourselves, I do not know. It makes me laugh, because if I am not laughing I am crying.

The reason I say these things to you, is because I love the Mother, I love life, and so I am doing my best to help you all. I live outside, on the streets, in nature. I live with nothing, you do not know the pain I endure to help you all. You could not know, you are too busy killing life, and I am only one voice of so many that cannot speak, so many of my teachers I feel suffer for you. So many of life's people I feel suffer for you, So much of nature I feel suffer for you, inside of me.

I take care of my tribe, I am a true shaman. Every living thing on this earth is a part of our family, I do my best to take care of all the people who are around me, even the little plants, I pick up trash for them. I do ceremony and healing. I give from my heart. I do not participate in the system, I have no part in it unless I need to buy some food and the dumpsters are empty.

I live out of a backpack, I give away more all the time, I have less for myself so you can have more. I am true family, I gave my blood to you, to the mother, I sacrificed for you. I give everything for you, and still so many of you would step on me, choose to be greedy, refuse to share your food with me when I am hungry on the streets. You do not see through people like I do, to know there is something more than Bum there.

It does not matter how much wrong you do, I would still help you and give my heart to you. I would work for free for you if you asked, help you with anything. Because I love in my heart deep down. Anyone who asks me for help with a true heart, it is free. I do not think so much about money.

I am free, I can travel anywhere on this earth without money, with no possessions other than a knife and a sleeping bag. I don't need airplanes and I could still go overseas if I wanted, because I know I do not exist, I am illusion, I am invisible. I roamed with gypsies, shamans, sorcerers, spirit warriors, so I learned the secrets of traveling and of life.

Most Humans have been defeated by a corrupted system, brainwashed to justify incorrect action at the expense of other life forms. Do not listen to books and scriptures, because all of these texts were written for an ancient world that no longer exists here, and adapted to suit the modern excuses of humanity to justify a world of lies. Truth exists inside of you, your own spirit. Speak from your own heart, from the what you have inside you, and stop living off the words of others who you have never met.

Stop lying to yourselves, stop being so superficial, stop ignoring the pertinent reality of your situation. Your whole system is corrupt, so work to improve it or find a way out.

I do not exist, I am just a weapon and a tool. Look inside of yourselves and forget about me. Anything these words show you is something you can find inside of yourselves, because life is inside of you. You are the one who is enlightened and you are the one who can see, you are the one who is the mystery. I don't need to be anything other than free...

gradually....

peeling off the layers...
thank you for a sobering text, a real one.

vows

It takes a strong discipline to practise the simplicity you mention. I can't help thinking of the old vows of poverty, chastity and obedience, in their best sense.
