Collective Reality

What we call reality is nothing more than a consensus reality or group think; a general agreement in the collective on what reality is and ought to be. Most, if not all, of what we are told, taught in school, reinforced by our parents and society is second hand information. Meaning it was not directly experienced by the person(s) who passed on the information to us. As a result, we build our life based on people’s beliefs (opinions), which are not entirely accurate. 

My experience repeatedly proves that everything must be verified. Most of what we call standard knowledge in the areas of science, history, religion, medicine, psychology, politics, and so on is a bit of truth mixed with lots of propaganda. This adulterated framework molds our minds at a very young age. As a result, we get locked into a cage of sorts; a stinking cage. Hence, why I call it the “group stink.”

Weaponized Against You

The powers that be or so-called elites (the central bankers, media, the medical cartel, big Pharma, the intelligence apparatus, multi-national corps, big energy, military industrial complex, Hollywood, major political parties, religion, popular science, politicians, lobbyists, and bureaucrats) work in lock step to keep us believing and investing in this group stink.

The goal of the elite is to present us with their version of reality as a means of control, like a cage that confines us within their determined parameters. 

Side note...

Only a small part of this reality gets created by us, the ‘useless eaters’ or sheeple. That's what the elite refers to us common folk. And, we reinforce that reality with our compliance.  

Since this group stink is fed to us at birth, we don’t see it. Everyone we know and observe participates in the charade, too. Therefore, it is uncommon or abnormal to stop and ask ourselves tough questions...

• Is this what we are supposed to be doing?

• Why is doing any of this important?

• Is the reality we’ve been presented the one we must live out?

• Are dysfunction, death, and disease inevitable?

• Is there something more to this experience called life?

• What else is possible?

It's A Box

This group reality better resembles rats trapped in a maze in search of cheese. We are all chasing some form of cheese, be it fame, money, family, church, success, relationships, ripped abs, or a tight butt. We are all caught in this box or system of control. As designed, the greatest achievements or hopes to aspire are to make it through the maze and get some (or all) of the cheese. 

Unfortunately, this reality-maze holds us captive. It keeps us checking ourselves to stay within the collectively accepted boundaries. Worse, it robs us of our most precious asset, our creative power.

Going Down The Rabbit Hole

As George Carlin said so eloquently, “they've got you by the balls.” [1] Even if we think we question reality and discovered some morsel of truth, at best, the elites redirect us to think we’ve figured some part of the game out. Like how a magician creates a diversion to lead the audience along his story line, we take the bait and chase figments of truth down the rabbit hole. For a moment, we feel “woke.” 

Hopefully, we don’t stop there.

If we continue to question, meditate, seek, and probe, we find that we are not so”woke” after all. Much like on the journey along life's highway, we’ve simply gotten off onto an exit of a new group stink. A new limited hangout of "informed" group think.

Then, the real disentanglement work begins. If we keep asking tough questions, we begin to really push back against everything...including ourselves. In this quest for the truth, we may even break down…if we’re lucky. 

By unsubscribing to the group reality, our sense of identity or multiple senses of self begin to lose a grip. Better said, the group reality begins to lose its grip on us. We opt out. If we make it through this dissent and don’t fall down into a hole of despair and hopelessness, the chances improve that we may begin to see things, as they really exist.

The Biggest Obstacles

At some point when the establishment ideology does not totally rule our minds, we begin to reject all psychological authority. We question everything. This is tough. Yet, we grow here. Nevertheless, there’s a huge cost. Eventually, we lose a lot, particularly relationships with people. 

Unfortunately, the system of group stink trains everyone to act like “crabs in a bucket.” If you ever been crabbing, that is fishing for crabs, then you’ll know what happens.

After you catch crabs, you put them into a bucket...without a lid. You don’t need a lid to keep them contained as long as there is more than one crab together. In a bucket of crabs, when one crab makes his way to the top of the bucket, the other crab(s) will latch onto him to pull themselves up. Their weight brings down the pioneering crab…and all fall back down to the bottom.

The cycle just repeats itself.

Our parents, peers, coaches, teachers, and local leaders are all well-trained to maintain order, which means keeping others inside the accepted box. If someone ventures out of bounds, closer to freedom, he is quickly pulled down with ridicule, avoidance, and/or violence. 

The system is self-regulating.

Sounds a lot like a quote often attributed to Arthur Schopenhaur about the three stages of truth, which points out that,

“Truth passes through three stages: first, it is ridiculed; second, it is violently opposed; third, it is accepted as self-evident.” [2]

This dynamic explains why the great sages and holy men and women ultimately went at this path alone. And, you will too. You’ll have to journey down the rabbit hole by yourself. You’ll walk through the valley of the shadow of death before you are accepted by society. And yet after all that, possibly they still won’t accept you. 

But, if you press onward, you may be free at last.

The Truth Sets You Free

To truly grow, you have to see this group funk for yourself. You can’t take my word for it. An intellectual understanding of it is not enough, you need to directly experience it. Just as I did, almost 25 years ago from the confines of a prison cell. 

Over the years, I’ve continued this work personally and professionally. The results culminated into a teaching framework, Shen Life. This model helps us climb out of this cage and, potentially, go beyond it to create something new.

Shen Life is all about being aware so we can think, feel, and act as a true Sovereign within this group drama. A sovereign is one who has supreme or ultimate power. In this case, as a sovereign human, you have infinite creative power!

“So awake to the power that you are, not as man, but as your true self, a faceless, formless awareness, and free yourself from your self-imposed prison.”

- Neville Goddard [3]

The Real Power

We are reality-generating organisms, but we only use that ability on a minute level. Sadly, our power gets redirected or stolen to reinforce the group stink.  

In order to freely create our experience as a sovereign outside of the box, we must access a greater creative power, presence, potential; that is Shen, Spirit, or Creative Source. 

If we ever wake up, more than ‘woke,’ but actually wake the fuck up, we can create a reality where the cage does not exist, where the elites do not rule, where chasing the cheese is pointless. We can create new worlds, a heaven on earth.

You in?

A Path To Freedom

Are you happy or satisfied with your version of the group stink? Or have you questioned, as I do, whether there is something else to this world than what we’ve been presented?

In the Shen Life work, we show you how to get out of this maze…but it takes power, real power. 

Positive thinking won’t do it. That’s just pouring sugar onto a shit sandwich. Thought sweet, it’s still shit.

Standing on your head won’t do it. That’s ridiculous. 

Silent retreats won’t do it. Though, it is good practice to just shut up.

Mushrooms, ayahuasca, or psychedelics won’t do it. That’s just tripping out or better said checking out.

To become a sovereign, you must take your power back. Awakening to Shen or Creative Source does exactly that.

Generally, we’ve acquiesced our creative power. More specifically, we’ve separated from it. This disconnect has been described as “being born into sin.” Sin means “separation from God,” Shen, Spirit, or Creative Source. It’s time to get it back to Source and free ourselves. 

To get to Shen, we must go through a real spiritual transformation. In the East this is referred to as awakening the kundalini or fire serpent. While in the West, it’s commonly known as igniting the baptismal fires. In Shen Life, this spiritual change is called the Transformashen. It is true inner alchemy.

Ready?

Anyone who wants to reach his full potential and live a life based on his creative sovereignty, not in a cage of consciousness presented to him by those who want to vampire his most prized resources—energy, awareness, and time—is in good company.

• Are you ready to take back your power and create your life as you see fit?

• Are you ready to realize your full potential and beyond?

• Are you willing to reach for it?

If your insides jump, “yes!” Then, it’s time to start take the first step of the Shen Life Path.
