The Moment Words Fell Away<\/h2>\n

Not too long ago, I had an experience that completely jolted me out of my usual self. For a brief moment, I felt like I slipped out of my body and my ego<\/a>, diving into something much larger: a serene, infinite presence that felt like the universe itself. In that space, words lost all meaning. The only thought that popped into my head was a blunt and slightly humorous one: words suck.<\/p>\n

As someone who loves writing and reading, I have to admit that this moment caught me off guard. Even the most beautiful words seemed too small to capture the depth, freedom, and unwavering love of what I was feeling. Suddenly, the phrase “peace that passeth all understanding” made perfect sense. It wasn\u2019t just poetic; it was a reality.<\/p>\n

Since then, whenever I\u2019ve tried to share this experience with my wife or a friend, my words come out all jumbled, like loose wires. My ego, not too happy about being left behind, quickly jumps in with its critiques: it\u2019s not the words that are the problem, it insists, it\u2019s me. Maybe it\u2019s right. Maybe it\u2019s not. At that moment, I was beyond the realm of form, and words belong to that very realm. Perhaps it\u2019s unfair to expect them to convey something that exists beyond their grasp.<\/p>\n

Soul vs. Ego: Two Different Worlds<\/h2>\n

Talking this through with Kim helped me understand what was happening. In the realm of the soul, everything physical is fleeting. The world of form feels almost like a costume party; it’s interesting, but not essential. No wonder words didn\u2019t seem to matter.<\/p>\n

But here, in this human experience, words do hold significance. They help us connect, comfort, understand, and be understood. With that in mind, I decided to write something for the newsletter. I reached for my deck of Animal Oracle cards to kick things off.<\/p>\n

The Lion card emerged: courage – specifically, “the courage to ask for what you want”.<\/p>\n

My initial thought? No way. Given how I\u2019ve been feeling lately, it seemed way too focused on ego. But then I dug a little deeper into the meaning of the card, and it caught me off guard. It wasn\u2019t about demanding things or chasing after status. It was really about reaching out for what you need on a soul level. A kind word. A hug. Love. Understanding. Support.<\/p>\n

You know, asking for those things takes real guts because it opens you up to the possibility of personal rejection. Asking for five bucks? That\u2019s easy. But asking for comfort? That\u2019s a whole different ballgame. That kind of vulnerability isn\u2019t about being fearless. It\u2019s about recognizing the fear and choosing to rise above it anyway.<\/p>\n

Negativity Is Easy. Courage Isn\u2019t.<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no bravery in being negative. Anyone can do that. Negativity is the easiest way out there is. But when you ask for what your soul truly needs, especially in a world that often values superficial strength? That\u2019s the kind of courage the Lion card is all about.<\/p>\n

And honestly, that kind of courage is exactly what we need if we want humanity to evolve in any meaningful way. As someone wiser than me once said, “Any fool can hurt someone. If you want to be a great person, help someone”.<\/p>\n

So be that person who helps. Lend a hand to others, and help yourself by having the courage to speak, act, and live from your soul. That\u2019s the true essence of the lion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
