Artist: HyperHorizon "Soul Cage" ... any state of being that is absent or separated from one's Inner-most "Being", the Abstract Absolute, the Universal Consciousness, the Unknowable, or that which is considered God (Creation before it created) - serves as a blind cage (a cage yet unseen) due to the fact that we have not seen ourselves, outside of ourselves before.
The moment I forgot who I was - was the moment I forgot who I am. The cage starts constructing from here (unconsciousness) as a seed; a seed that has the potential to sprout. I've sprouted the cage (my individual cage), you the reader has sprouted the cage...and it's difficult to know these cages from inside the cage. We each provide the fertilizer for that seed of unconsciousness to continually grow and "become" that which we are not - unconscious, controlled by the physical world, indoctrinated, usually innocently ... sometimes not, into a system where "Spirit" is rarely spoken of, let alone education and comprehension of our individual Soul. How then, do we know we're even in a cage? There are skills to be learned that can identify them, symptoms we can observe, and here I will share some of them with you. Ultimately, and because your cages are different than mine, you will need to find your own way in identifying that which holds you in certain forms of your mental and spiritual cage. Some cages are felt, others are heard, often times they are seen, and they are ALWAYS experienced, whether we are at a point of being able to identify them or not. We can't NOT experience our cage, as we're mentally in it 24/7. Usually, more often than not, these cages are instilled in us at very tender ages. Initially, it's Others who gave us the building blocks and tools, or sometimes nothing at all, to navigate our internal and external lives. These cages are passed down from generation to generation within our earthly families. Sometimes they come in from a neighbor, a childhood friend, a childhood teacher, or anyone that crosses our path with a desire to have us think and feel as they do, and act as they do. Because we do not understand our Sovereignty (a powerful aspect of our Being), we innocently, and inevitably, allow the exoteric forces to run and rule our lives. However, once our sovereignty is fully REALized, the ego has little chance of surviving this interaction with the Spirit (this is for another discussion though). Cages are built here in our human experience due to the fact that no one is talking about them, as many are not teaching us as children about Spiritual cages, the spiritual traps and the pitfalls we will run into through our life. We rarely learn about our sovereignty. We are not taught, nor encouraged, to stay solvent (owing nothing to anyone, and in turn, we are owed nothing), no words given on our true state of being. We are not taught about personal authenticity ... and so ... over time, we start to sculpt ourselves into our own cages because it's what we know how to do given the tools provided, or the lack thereof. We sculpt ourselves based on others cages around us, like a blueprint. We sculpt our ego's (plural, as we each have many), which in turn, gives rise to our own personal "legion" of demons, aka Ego personalities (you think the legion is outside of yourself?). Whenever an experience presents itself that REFLECTS a cage, it's worth exploring. If one desires to escape the cage, then one MUST explore it...and it's not a pleasant journey at times, and sometimes needing assistance from others in various forms. We start by learning how to become a SELF explorer, a self observer (who is it inside of you that is observing?...and who is observing that observer?). It's high time that we start to at least acknowledge that we have a Soul. We, as the human species, supposed "intellectual" beings, are past due in showing reverence to our own Inner-Being, our own inner consciousness, our Essence!; The essence that allows this physical body to breath, pump blood, see beauty, EXPERIENCE beauty! The essence which is our birth right, is severely unknown in our day to day travels through what we consider life ... but if we're in a cage, are we actually living? We typically reside within our shell (physical human form), oblivious to the Glorious, Sacred, Loving force within and about us. Moving on: Any "extreme" sensation, emotion, action/reaction that presents itself, a change of attitude within that disturbs our being, a negative circling thought, physical sensations of stress or suppression - are many times "symptoms" that present themselves due to our separation from our source, our Soul, our Spirit. One way to identify a cage is to ask yourself if you are content in this world, as it all seems to be falling apart? Are we working toward having and a deep, intimate relationship with our innermost Being?, or are we transfixed on all the problems in the world, all the problems in our personal life - pacing the cage? Identify a cage when you are feeling/sensing/believing as if there is no personal control in your world. Psychological awareness of anger, jealousy, vengeance, hatred, lust, greed, etc. are most definitely cages, even in their simplest form/s, as the smallest forms are usually the seeds of these spiritual entrapments that turn into our monsters. These so called monsters exist to ensure we stay in the cage (and also serve as our teachers ... this is for a future discussion), for if let out ... well, lets just say its the end of that particular "monster", and it knows it. We all have them. If there is a low vibrational seed, and you are either wittingly or unwittingly feeding it, it will grow. Universal Law states this to be so, and Universal Law is unwavering. There are also subtler forms of cages. Habits that don't really seem to serve any purpose other than making us feel good for a moment, but these have the ability to turn into addictions, of all kinds, if we are not paying attention. Spiritual aversions, so to speak. These can be tricky and very difficult to track down as they don't always scream loud ... but I can assure you that once you start learning how to identify these cages, even the vague, seemingly quiet facets of our cage, is going to have a tough time hiding from you for too long. Declare your Sovereignty however, and nothing here has a chance of adversely affecting you. The most dangerous cage (in my experience), is that of spiritual entropy. The gray zone, as I refer to it. The complete lack of knowing, caring, considering or acknowledging that there is an energetic environment that resides in the Macrocosm and the Microcosm of our existence. The gray zone is like the screen of a fairy tale we watch from the moment we wake up in the morning, until the time we turn in at the end of the day. We've seen it so many times we can often quote the whole day before we even live it. Starting and ending the same way. The ego knows very well that its existence becomes threatened once we start moving out of this gray area. The ego needs us in that gray area, because we don't resist there, we don't expand our consciousness there, and therefore, we don't grow. We become a food source of energy for the ego. It's amazing to think that the ego knows us and our weaknesses better than we do. It's why its so essential that we start making efforts to get out of the cage. To do this, we have to have the WILLINGNESS to explore ourselves deeper. Recommended self awareness starting points: 1. Any ill thinking or emotions that prevent you from self exploration. 2. Addictions, of ALL kinds ... even the seemingly harmless ones. 3. Your outlook on life in general. Are you pessimistic? Judgemental? A people pleaser? 4. Look for "trends" of people that keep entering your life that diminish, or try to diminish, any part of your authenticity (that which you know to be true of yourself). 5. Are you locked up in a job that doesn't inspire you because someone in the past told you that THIS is who you should be? 6. Do you find yourself having difficulty in relationships, of any kind, but especially deep emotional or romantic types of relationships? 7. Are you following the crowd, wearing a mask so your individual light isn't shinning? 8. Are you abusive toward others - needing to control those around you? 9. Do you have tendencies toward rage, guilt, selfishness, self indulgence, depression, erratic thoughts and actions? ...the list of symptoms go on and on and on. I'm going to generally assume that the main point has been made here - our "cages" represent any aspect of ourselves that need our assistance, and sometimes straight out war, as our egos have lied to us since the day we were born. Self Awareness IS the journey. It's not obtaining things or controlling others - it's about clearing out, healing, discarding that which does not belong here blocking the path of our Soul towards it's "higher", actually "inner" knowingness of the Divine Being. And Lastly?? The kicker here? ... after what's been shared up to this point? ... The real TRUTH of the "matter" - is the cage is and always will be, an illusion. IT'S NOT THERE. The cage doesn't even exist, the ego knows this. It's the fact that the human mind is very impressionable. Extremely impressionable. But that's all it is - Impressions. Our demons, our egos, our distortions, are all impressions based on a false foundation, and instilled through the our 5 senses (sight, sound, taste, touch, smell), as well as through the emotions (this is for a later discussion). Wouldn't it be helpful to know how your invisible cage was constructed, why it was constructed and how to correct this misconception? The good news is, you can. The good news is, YOU are the only one who can correct it. No outside chaos, no one telling you about you, no ego twisting your energies while your not looking so it can continue to feed off your Divinity. A future Spiritual war isn't coming in the future. That Spiritual war is happening NOW, and has been for thousands of years. I encourage the beginning, for you as the reader, to start revering that you are a Creation of "your" most High. You are a direct extension of that Creator. Every aspect of the Creator is within your makeup - you can not avoid it, get away from it, nor destroy it - It is you and you are IT! Creation is your every breath and every heartbeat ... it is the energy that drives every thought, word and action - whether you accept these words or not. There is nothing on earth, physical wise, that compares to the experience of living life in a Divine state of Being. Seeing the Divinity in every thing and in every one. Every Spiritual Master that ever walked the planet spoke of this Divine state of being, available to all, not just a few. Let's start pursuing that which we have so long forgotten. To get started, try the items above which will start opening your real senses to what is actually going on, better yet, create your own. Feel free to read through the other Blog posts on this website to gain even more seeds of reflection. And as always - don't hesitate to reach out and share your stories, or to inquire about something along your own path. I'm here, I'm available, and I'm ready to help in any way I can. Until next time - Be Well, Stay Well!

"Fear doesn't fear me, why should I fear it?" - Tiffany Millerbis ![]() Fear is helpful to us as humans, other times - terrifying. How can this be both? Let's break it down - Fear as an emotion. Emotion E Motion E = Energy (frequency once defined) Motion = propulsion "Energy in Motion" - This is what emotions ARE! I've understood this looong before it became a "thing" out there on others tongues...but worth repeating and should be acknowledged as a solid truth. It can't be stressed enough; We as intellectual creatures need to grasp this unmovable truth, and then never forget it. Ever. Depending on the circumstance that begets the reaction of fear within us, our first clue that it carries a frequency is by the intensity we experience that fear. The sensation of it lasting anywhere from a few seconds to an astounding 24/7 feeling ... as many live in complete and utter Fear. Sadly, it's encouraged in our society. Sadly through the culture we co-create, it's everywhere. Fear is everywhere. We spend most of our time absorbing what is "outside" of us, vs. spending time focusing on what is happening "inside" of us. We as a whole, would have a very different experience on this planet if we took the time to understand our own emotions. NOT fear them - but KNOW them. Taking the time to analyze what it is for me personally, those things, what situations I experience that bring on the sensation of fear, I've found an ultimate TRUTH about it. Not surprisingly, fear carries, and resonates, at a frequency. EVERYTHING we think, feel, touch, taste and see has a frequency to it. Thoughts, emotions, our physical structure and everything inside it, carries frequencies. Every cell and every atom of our physical "matter" has a frequency. This is literal and is also the first truth of fear. It would make no sense to acknowledge the frequency of creation and leave fear out of the equation ... ...So I started exploring from this epiphany and went deeper with it - always deeper What frequency does Fear resonate? That's been a difficult answer to nail down. There are frequency maps and charts, like the one below, that gives us a visual, but scientists and other energy explorers haven't been able to agree on a solid number. Many reports of experiments conducted that I've read about, gauge that fear resonates about 4Htz, or 4 cycles per second. Although Fear seems to have inherent qualities - I can assure you, that's all it is ... a frequency. Not tangible in any way until we create something tangible with that energy. Key phrase being "until we create ..." We are the ones who determine the vocabulary that is used to "DE-FINE" what fear means in any given situation. As individuals, we are the ones who get to decide what fear/s mean to us, and along with that, how much power to give it. Since fear is an indestructible energetic force, as we are ... we have the ability to change it, or at least we can choose to rise above it so it's not adversely effecting us any longer. Fear, on a good day, serves as an indicator that something is amiss. Perhaps we're in physical danger and need to get away fast, or perhaps we are facing uncertainty in a situation that brings about fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear that something bad is going to happen. This could be considered a "healthy" dose of fear. Gets us moving away from danger and uncertain situations. Fear on a bad day can be so gripping that it terrorizes us ... freezing us in our tracks, and then we react in unhealthy ways. We react by lashing out at that frequency with something hopefully more powerful than it. Unfortunately, we haven't developed the skill to hone a higher frequency when we meet fear. Fear can't be transmuted to a higher frequency when we don't show up to it with a higher frequency. It's universally impossible to stop fear with emotions that are a lower frequency than "IT". Which means there's something we ... YOU ... can do about it. The mind is the one thing you can control - and this is empowering. In fact, the mind is the only control we have over anything. This is the tool we create our reality with. I started exploring fear by observing my own thoughts, soon realizing there was needed work in that area ... simply based on the fact I wasn't controlling them. There are millions of things in the world I have no control of, being good with most of that ... but to not have control of my own mind, even on a small scale, is disturbing to me. Very disturbing. Deciding what stays and what goes, what thoughts have value ... which ones ALIGN with my values became a great focus in my life, and now that I know what I know, will always strive for higher resonating thoughts, higher frequencies of emotions. If this means changing every aspect of my life, the people in it, what I look at and how I see it, how I react to external stimulation/s, how I choose to show up, then I've vowed to doing this. I couldn't bypass the curiosity of experiencing life being 100% in control of my thoughts and emotions. At the end of the day, I get to choose what I want to see when I wake up in the morning. I get to choose who is in my life, where I travel, where I work and play. By controlling my mind and keeping fear in its place, I get to empower myself on a planet that otherwise will continue to do whats in its nature, no matter how I feel about it - so I choose my sovereignty in every moment I can. The quality of my life actually depends on it. If you're not ready to take the deep dive into fear, trust me, I understand. With that, I can't encourage people enough to at least take an inventory of what your thoughts typically are. If they are negative and fear based ... there's your answer on why you are in the "place" you find yourself, should you not be satisfied with the life you have. We can help each other though, and should ... by showing up in a higher light, speaking in a higher light, loving in a higher way. Tolerance, forgiveness, compassion, friendship and LOVE - easy aspects we can exude to others that are typically contagious - even for ourselves. Try it, you'll like it! So why not choose to be upliftingly (yes, I made that up) contagious vs. being a contagion. Your inner world depends on it and others need it, desperately! Until next time - Be Well, Stay Well "We Can Know Ourselves Today By Observing Our Mind, Our Environment and Our Emotions" - Tiffany Millerbis We as humans have the innate ability to "think" in such a way where we have direct control over our environment. This allows us to change that which we don't desire and create that which we desire. This separates us from other life forms on this planet. Although we are of the same making and material as the rest of Nature - it's clear we are not animals, and yet, it's incredible that with our ability to perform miraculous feats of creation, we act inferior to most of Nature. This is due to the mind. Our ability to "think" is also our downfall. Let's take a walk and explore why this happens, how this happens and how we can align our mind in a more progressive way that exalts our evolution vs. destroying this unique gift. STOP AND DO THIS ... Take a moment and observe your environment, preferably while you're at home, as this depicts your private and often times hidden life. Look at the objects in your home, the placement of them, the quality of them. Is what you observe in alignment with how you want to feel when you are "home"? Now take notice of the people in this space, should you cohabit with others. What thoughts immediately come to mind? Are they positive, negative, flat? Don't make judgement upon this, just observe. Now take it to the outside world. Who's in it? What do you do? How do you feel when you're out?
Along my personal and spiritual journey, it became apparent to me that if I'm going to advance in this physical world, along with my desire to know myself Spiritually, I needed to start examining and studying my own mind outside and separate from the rest of the world. I had to take serious stock, so to speak, of what my mind was doing from moment to moment while I'm seemingly unaware of what it's doing. Needless to say, I was quite shocked at my findings. Learning my own mind was creating dialogue that typically ran against the grain of who I thought I was. It scared me to know these thoughts were ever prevalent, working their way deeper and deeper into my being. I came to the realization that it is THIS, that has entrapped my Soul from moving forward on its journey, not the outside world, although at the time, I was allowing the outside world to shape my thoughts that led to the emotions that come with it/them. It became apparent very quickly that what I allowed, what I've been allowing, to saturate my mind was NOT healthy or in alignment with who I was telling myself, and knowing myself to be. This had to change. I started to also take stock of the world around me. What are the messages out there in the world? What are the current themes running constantly through different sources that provide information and conditioning? I'm sorry to report that I find 90% of it very low resonating, negative, angry, judgemental, defeating. Hardly anything out there speaks to, nor encourages people, to "use" their MIND; Although, we are told to "open" our minds. An open mind is a vulnerable one if we don't shield it with discretion. Why? We are saturated with images and messages all the time, constantly - 24/7. I say 24/7 as we are then saturated on the unconscious level through dream, where we play out and solidify what we've seen or experienced through the day. It's as though we've handed over our most sacred and powerful tool to the powers of the outside world. Take a look at your algorithm on any social media platform and ask yourself if what you are seeing is healthy for you or not. Serious truth - what your algorithm shows you, is a mirror of what you have in your life ... plain and simple. Taking the power back of our minds is a difficult and arduous task, but it must be done if we want to understand our nature, purify our nature, advance as a Soul and a society. Once we understand what the current state of our mind is, we then understand why we experience in life what we experience. If you find yourself struggling, take a look at your own mind. This is where is starts, every-single-time. Tools to help flip the switch: 1. Journal - what doesn't come out, stays in 2. Meditate - meditate deep, dig in there and see what's going on 3. Observe your thoughts - all the time 4. Pay attention to your dreams 5. Turn your TV OFF - literally poison to the mind 6. Fill your home with things you want to see, experience and reflect your nature 7. Think Divine, Speak Divine, Act Divine 8. Throw that ego in the back seat and put it on a time out These are just basic tools that will change the way you think and feel very quickly. If you choose to open your mind at all, do it privately with yourself and then guard it with your life ... as your life depends on this work. Feel free to reach out to me should you want to explore this empowerment deeper. Every Spiritual journey, starts within the mind. It's a precious tool and one that has no limits. Lets start conditioning it the RIGHT way! Until next time - Be Well and Stay Well!!! |
