I’ve read the books. Memorized what needed memorizing. Took notes. Received the highest of grades.

But I never found in a book what I always knew to be true.

I mean, how could I?

Books use words.

Words are symbols.

Symbols can never hold the vastness of what they represent.

Could your essence truly be captured by symbols?

How accurate would they be?

Would you rather eat a mango or read the letters that represent it?

You get my meaning.

The experience is the treasure. It is our gift. It’s the present.

Sure, you could read about me. But to truly know me… you’d have to be me.

Similarly, the only way for that present to be fully recognized is by being present.

In this article, I’m going to help you unlock the ultimate experience.

Where an apple is not just an apple.

A flower is not just a flower.

Love is not just love.

Everything is closer to how it’s intended to be experienced.

Beyond all senses.

Beyond all logic.

Shall we begin?

Let’s begin!

The World Is Drowning in Knowledge

Fifteen years ago, there were already over 130 million books in existence. That’s not even including self-published works.

To read every one of those 130 million books—without stopping, without sleeping—it would take over 62,000 years.

Even if a thousand of us read around the clock without sleeping and while sitting on the toilet, it would still take over seven years to finish.

And yet, with all that information…
Are we any closer to having that which is truly meaningful?

Are we any closer to having peace, experiencing endless love, and being in a constant state of bliss? What about joy?

Or are we simply recycling the same old paradigms that existed well before we were “born”?

The self-publishing sector alone saw 2.6 million new titles hit platforms in 2023.

But here’s the real question:

Do we need all of this information?

And more importantly… is all this information actually knowledge?

Information vs Knowledge

Many have affirmed that knowledge is power. Then what’s information?

Google defines information as:

  • facts provided or learned about something or someone
  • what is conveyed or represented by a particular arrangement or sequence of things

Clearly, everything contained in books isn’t factual. Or could we be mistaken about what a fact actually is?

Google defines a fact as:

  • a thing that is known or proved to be true

Now we’re getting somewhere.

Take a look at the following illustration.

One man sees a 6 on the floor and another sees a 9. Both our correct from their perspectives.

The man on the left sees a 6 and knows it to be true. The man on the right sees a 9 and knows it to be true.

Both can prove their “truth”, but are either correct in their assessment?

You may be tempted to say a variation of, “Yes, they are both correct, and both things are true. It’s all a matter of perspective.”

So does truth rely on perspective?

Truly, I tell you, it does not.

Truth is truth.

It never changes.

What’s true cannot have a contradiction or contain variation, no matter the perspective, because that would render it untrue.

Yet we have words for this: opinions, beliefs, judgments, etc.

We’ve traded these words for phrases like:

  • my truth
  • in my experience
  • it is my feeling that
  • my grandma always said

…and then we treat these as law, which is another made-up concept.

Then we uphold this law and seek to punish those who don’t adhere to our laws, which aren’t even based on truth.

Woah!

I have lyrics from a song in the works that illustrate this point perfectly.

The jailed becomes the jailer

Enforcing rules he was teached

Too busy jailing more jailers

Jailer forgets that he’s free

Jailer calls everyone jealous

When they don’t care for his key

Jailer was sold on a cell

He tried to sell one to me

In other words, a lot of fuss and conflict is born out of non-truth.

What sense does that make?

We Don’t Lack Knowledge, We Lack Knowing

The real reason books remain so popular is that people are seeking knowing.

They’ve confused knowing with knowledge.

And so continues the cycle of seeking knowledge, finding it, being satisfied for a short time, and returning to a state of longing for more.

Knowing is different from feeling or believing. It goes deeper.
Knowing is total.

It leaves no room for doubt because doubt cannot exist in its presence.

It’s not sensed, meaning it cannot be understood through your physical senses.

Knowing is aligned with truth. And by truth, I mean the cosmic, unmoving principles that never change no matter who’s looking or when it is being seen.

When you know, you know.

You aren’t seeking.

You aren’t proving.

It doesn’t matter if everybody in the world displayed an alternative perspective. You would rest comfortably in your knowing.

Returning to Presence

As mentioned earlier, the present is called the present for a reason.
It is Creation’s Gift to Itself, and that includes us.

Knowing only exists in the present.
It cannot exist in the past or in the future.

The past and the future are shaped by perception, and often misperception, filtered through who you think you are and what you believe is possible.

Knowing never requires you to think.

To return to the present and to the state of knowing, you must loose the past and all of its causes.

I use the word loose instead of lose because it is too great of jump to go from believing in past events to realizing all of those events are being created now.

By loosening it, so to speak, you allow yourself to see new perspectives and welcome more ease into your life.

No longer will you be at the mercy of others and their circumstances.

It would be as if you unlocked a new world where all is like a beautiful lucid dream that you can see through and manipulate with your energy.

And that’s just the beginning!

The Hidden Curriculum We Were Never Taught

As soon as you were “born”, society has taught you to identify things in their separation.

It made a game of it, giving encouraging cheers, attention, and love to every correct answer you gave about perceiving the separate edges of light.

A spark is no longer a spark, but a pencil, a tree, or a person.

As you begin to recognize and perceive separateness, you identify with it. You start to possess it and assign ownership to all as you see fit.

You relegate yourself to being a body, separate, and living life unconsciously, so much so that you can no longer transcend time and space at will, except during your “dream” state, where you often return to consciousness.

Furthermore, you have learned to memorize and remember EVERYTHING except the most important of all, your divinity.

Instead of seeing the present as it truly is, you see your memories and your opinions displayed on the big screen.

Once you render judgment on an aspect of reality, you will only experience it as you judged it no matter divine the present truly is.

So the idea is loosen these judgments. Acknowledge that you may not truly know what everything means and the purpose it holds.

By loosening ideas of matter and what matters, you allow the truth to fill the spaces you held between yourself and All There Is.

The False Mind, The Ego

The Ego – a person’s sense of self-esteem or self-importance.

There are many misperceptions surrounding the concept of the ego.

The ego is the self that is formed as a result of you identifying as separate from reality.

And since the ego wants to continue to be, it will use whatever it can to keep you identifying with it, and to keep you separate for as long as possible.

But no worries.

This is where everything comes together.

If the ego is the self you created in separation, then knowing is the Self that exists only in truth.

And yes, truth is reconciliation – the remembering of your unity with All That Is.

Truth Is Experienced, Not Acquired

You permanently exist in a state of truth.
You don’t step into it, you are it.

It only seems otherwise because you’ve identified with the false.

What the false, bro?

The ego.

To witness the truth, you must first notice the difference between you and the voice pretending to be you.

Not because separation is real, but because seeing the illusion clearly helps you release it.

Here’s the essence:

  • The ego’s entire thought system is unnecessary.
  • You are not who the ego tells you you are.
  • Truth is only available in the present, and the present reveals how absurd ego-thoughts truly are.
  • The moment you recognize truth directly, you start hearing from the highest source … the one that has always been you.

Again, this isn’t something you memorize.

It’s not a technique you “remember” later.

Truth is something you experience.

And once you experience it, even once, nothing is ever the same.

There is a simple way to dissolve the ego and return to truth, however, it isn’t learned through words.

You don’t study it.

You do it.

You feel it.

You become it.

And when you do… you understand why no book could ever give you what presence reveals instantly.

If You Want to Experience This Shift for Real

Not in theory.
Not as a concept.
Not as a quote or a cool idea…

…but as your alive reality…

…I’ve created three paths.
Each one meets you at a different level of depth and asks a different level of commitment.

Let’s start with the deepest.

1. HOLY SHIFT Retreat – The Transformation

This is the big one.

HOLY SHIFT is where you step out of the intellectual world and into the direct experience of truth.

We dissolve illusion, loosen ego, and open the space for you to remember who you truly are.

You don’t “attend” this retreat.

You shift.

It’s the closest thing to stepping outside of the dream and realizing you’ve been awake the whole time.

If you’re called to this work — truly called — this is where to begin.

2. Private Coaching – Direct Guidance Into Truth

For those who want a more personal journey, I offer one-on-one coaching.

You get real-time guidance, reflection, and practical application of truth in your daily life.

I walk with you through clarity, alignment, ego dissolving, and returning to the presence you were born with.

If HOLY SHIFT is the spiritual immersion,
coaching is the integration.

3. The Music – Transformation in Rhythm

And for those who want to begin now…

The music is your entry point.

My albums carry the frequency of this work.

They’re coded with the principles of truth, presence, and inner peace.

You don’t just listen to them.

You shift with them.

They open your mind, soften the ego, and prepare you for the deeper work ahead.

Start here if you’re ready to feel different… even before you know why.

Final Word

You won’t find this in any book I’ve ever read.

Not because the books are wrong…

but because truth is too alive to fit on a page.

Truth is presence.

Knowing is presence.

You are presence.

This is why truth is experienced, not acquired. It reveals itself the moment you finally choose to be present

And the moment you stop trying to acquire truth

and start experiencing it…

everything becomes clear.

P.S. If this resonated, choose whichever path feels right for where you are.
Your shift begins the moment you say yes to yourself.
