I learnt this lesson the hard way: Stop kicking the can down the road. Stop leaning into a future event, present activity, or expectation as a crutch for stability or a basis for your identity. I don't think I'd ever truly lived in the present fully as myself; fully independent of external milestones, projected pit... Continue Reading →
The ego needs success to thrive; the soul needs meaning .. Richard Rohr. These words jumped up from the book at me, not to teach me something new, but rather to confirm something I had already discovered. The game is rigged. No quest, goal, or project ever delivers on its promise to fully satisfy. Each... Continue Reading →

Trauma weaves itself into the fabric of our lives, shaping us in ways both subtle and profound. Have you ever wondered how the unseen wounds of the past might still influence your present? A couple of years ago, I spent quite a lot of time looking at a photograph of my 2-year-old self. I made... Continue Reading →
Narratives, once they take root, become strongholds within our minds. It matters little whether the foundation of that story is truth or falsehood. We align our perceptions and experiences with the story, and it colors our entire reality. If I tell myself you are my enemy, nothing you say or do will ever register as... Continue Reading →
Welcome to afishoutofwater.blog To my fellow travelers, the quietly unraveling, the beautifully undoneโthis space was made with you in mind. You know who this is for? Itโs for the one quietly unraveling in a world that only rewards certainty. The one who feels like they lost the map, only to discover it never quite fit... Continue Reading →
Living too much in my head wasn't serving me. Back in 2016, I realized there must be a better, more authentic way to understand reality than through the constant chatter of my mind. I longed for a deeper connection โ with myself, the world, and something greater. I asked God, the Universe, the Holy Spirit,... Continue Reading →
The teachings of manifestation hold truth โ we have immense potential to dream and create. This stems from our divine essence, our connection to the ultimate Creator. However, it's vital to recognize our limits and differentiate ourselves from God. Lucifer's downfall came from a misinterpretation of his divine qualities. Pride led him to believe that...

You didn't pass through the year 2022. The year 2022 passed through you. How is that for a thought? You are situated in the NOW - the ever constant moment. Like a conveyor belt, everything (events, thoughts and perceptions) flows through you. The mind's layering of these is perceived as time. It feels real enough,... Continue Reading →
โI no longer want to live with the old conditioned responses, feelings and perceptions. FATHER, The Old Man has served its purpose. It does not serve me anymore in the new light of revelation and understanding that We have. It is time to lay him down. It is time to silence him. He beats an... Continue Reading →
It takes a humble spirit to admit that we KNOW very LITTLE indeed. The bravest are those able to admit to themselves (and others), what they they KNOW as FACT, and what is just belief. A lot that passes as religious faith, are often beliefs we think or hope are true! However, such 'faith' is... Continue Reading →
The unholy alliance of our ego, body and mind makes us less than whole. The ego body mind alliance is self referencing, self informing and self reinforcing. At its core, this unholy alliance is one built upon and sustained by illusion, insecurity and fear. To restore balance and wholeness, the unholy alliance of ego, body... Continue Reading →
Several months ago, I spent quite a lot of time looking at a photograph of my 2-year old self. I made it a part of my almost daily meditation and reflective practice. Gazing upon the face of my 2-year old self, I wondered at the experiences that have shaped who, what and how I process... Continue Reading →
