Get Out of Your Own Way

secretsoftheserpent

We think failure is scary. We all want to succeed. We want things to go our way. What you don’t realize is succeeding is scarier than failing. Why? Because failure is familiar. You are used to it. Deep down inside, when it comes to trauma, you do not care if it sucks or not. All your DNA cares about is “Is this known?” Every human secretly gets what they are used to. This is why self sabotage kicks in when you have a certain amount of success. We all have that ceiling that if we pass it we will self sabotage. We are not scared of failure, we are scared of succeeding.

Creativity, Mental Health, and Well Being: A Case for the Bardic Arts

The Druid's Garden

Creativity is the birthright of all people. When humans are young, play and creativity are central to our own development. Children don’t worry about it being ‘good’; they just make things, play with crayons, laugh, dance, and sing. They play. As children get older, school and society often discourage individual creativity and play, particularly in a culture that values economic growth above all else. The result of this has been a stifling sense of creativity, with many adults believing in the myth of talent (that you have to be good at something immediately to practice it creatively) or insisting they have no creativity.

The bardic arts are those in the druid tradition that focuses on creative works: storytelling, creative writing, fine arts, fine crafts, and any other endeavor where you are building in your creativity. The ancient bards were part of the druid community and were the storytellers and historians…

How to Let Go

secretsoftheserpent

I have told people you before I am not much on meditating. I have nothing against it, but I see it as wasting time. Well in the sense that the western world meditates. Meditation in the western world is an escape mechanism. People concentrate on something, someone or some event and think it is making them present to the moment when all it is doing is letting them escape their problems temporarily. It will help you concentrate but not make you feel better. If you really want growth you must use mindfulness. Instead of trying to forget your problems you need to focus on your problems directly.

The Glass Floor and Ceiling

secretsoftheserpent

Every human being is trapped above a certain floor and below a certain ceiling of success. It is an invisible prison. Whenever you venture below that floor an invisible force pulls you back up and when you venture above the ceiling that same invisible force pulls you back down. You think you have free will and you think you are free, but you are only free as long as its not above this ceiling and below this floor.

Self Esteem

secretsoftheserpent

As human beings we are always scanning our environment and assessing where we stand. On the totem pole of value we want to know if we are near the top, near the bottom or somewhere in-between. Based on what you think, you are going to have a certain amount of inner resources. You will have certain amount of confidence, charisma and expression and it is all dictated by where you think you stand in a certain environment at some point and time. Here is the secret. People are run by this. Depending on the situation they have a little more or a little less of the internal resources. This is the life of everyone on this planet.

Live Life Like a Myth

secretsoftheserpent

I have made it a mission lately to observe other people and see what kind of energy they are addicted to. Talking to teachers they are telling me this is the worst time of their career because of the young kids coming off of virtual learning they have been doing for over a year. It’s not just the young kids it’s everyone. The teachers are just having to deal with the apple not falling far from the tree. Whatever someone’s energy addiction is to them then their quality of life will be aligned to it as well.

Human Touch

secretsoftheserpent

As we open the world up most people have been sitting in their homes away from the world for about a year. I see people have forgotten how to connect in a human to human way. Everyone has been on their phones or computers communicating and we have forgotten that human touch. To me everyone seems robotic out in public. I am out in the world everyday. I love meeting people. I love working with people. As the world ends lockdowns most can’t connect in person. This post will help you connect with others and remember that we are all humans who need that human connection.

Get Rid of the Negative

This Easter I thought I would give my readers a post on how to resurrect their own mind and life. This post will go deep.

Those who are on my site if not already awake are ready to awaken, so I think most are ready for this post. It is a deep dive into how to change our world for the better. The way we have been has been a failure. Time to resurrect success.

Fix the Inner World

secretsoftheserpent

Everyone is trying to fix the outside world right now. They believe that if they can make the world bend to their will they will feel better. If one would just ask themselves why they do anything, they would find out it’s all about making themselves feel better. Why do you set goals and achieve them? Because it makes you feel good. We are all trying to feel a state of abundance within. All because this world tells us that we are not good enough.
