And a lot of the versions of it that I see are physical health or sexuality or relationship health or career health or... actually it's all it feels like a lot of it comes back to actualization in the end and the activities themselves don't seem they don't appear that complex if you look at it from the outside and often when people are able to kind of tap into it again it's like there's this release like the bag gets lighter i love that analogy i keep coming back to this idea about what what is it releasing us for and it seems like it's that transition into that elderhood i like how brooks was putting it it's this idea of giving but in order to give wholeheartedly we need to like take care of ourselves first we need to like make sure that the kid is taken care of so that we can fully move into that space without resentment i think it's like the symptom that a lot of people get stuck with at that midlife point

i love this topic because and it's an interesting one if we go back to the the archetypical framework there that for men, typically the really easy access point into men's work is through the warrior dimension.

You know, harden up my body so I can be more attractive.

Let me make, I guess, the money may be more in the line of maybe even the magician realm, but make more money.

Maybe better in bed.

I'm more powerful and strong and virile.

Those kind of things are very attractive through the warrior dimension.

And then trying to even come to terms with something that's bigger than us is, it's kind of like, right? A lot of people describe it as like, it's like a window into seeing what that even could be, that then we can start scaffolding again towards something that looks like us serving them.

So, um, I'd love for you to share, um, if anyone's listening and kind of wants to build a deeper connection to the Earth, a deeper connection to guide, to Mother Earth, what would you advise them to do?

Well, for me, the first thing really is understanding that we are this ecosystem of Earth ourselves.

We're, we're, we're a compilation of all the elements.

And, and it was interesting at, at first, when I first started kind of moving into this, back into this direction, I, I had lost all this money, and I really wanted to do traveling and stuff.

It's why I got in the Air Force, and I ended up staying the entire time in Colorado Springs because it was in Space Command, and 95% of the jobs were in Colorado Springs, so- So after I'd lost all this money, I was like, "Oh, I really wish I could have gone and done some traveling." What I heard Spirit say to me was, "I am all the elements.

I am, you know, the water within me, which comprises the majority of this vessel here, the, the water within me has traveled the entire planet, has traveled through all epochs, has been there for, for the beginning of time as far as since humans have been here.

We've been here, and so I have that within me.

So I'd love for you to share more about what that looks like.
