Breaking Free from Distractions and Finding True Liberation

“I’m seeing that I (whoever the fuck I is) have a choice about where my attention and awareness goes, and that feels so fucking liberating.”

Jake Paul and Mike Tyson standing in a dramatic black-and-white composition, symbolizing the convergence of modern entertainment, attention, and timeless strength.

In a world filled with distractions, from Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson to the endless cycle of political drama, where are you placing your attention? For so long, many of us have been pulled into the gravitational vortex of entertainment, cravings, and aversions—all designed to steal our focus and leave us disconnected from ourselves.

But what if you chose differently?

The Power of Attention and Intention

The consciousness within each human being is the most advanced technology in the universe. It holds the infinite resources to create, connect, and transform. Yet, so much of that potential is directed outward, into distractions that feed our ‘small self’ while starving the essence of who we truly are.

Thank you, Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson, for showing me what no longer resonates. Thank you, political chaos and synthetic entertainment, for being mirrors that reflect my own choices about where my awareness goes.

Because now I see—I don’t have to participate. I can opt out of the endless loops of action and reaction, craving and aversion, cause and effect.

The Elusive Obvious

For what felt like eternities, I followed the irresistible pull of cravings, addictions, and distractions rooted in my samskaras—the imprints of karmic debts waiting to be reconciled.

I believed I was chasing fulfillment, yet every road led to the same emptiness. Over time, I’ve come to recognize these cycles as invaluable teachers. They were necessary for my journey, pulling me into their seductive dance so I could eventually reach the end and realize the truth:

The emptiness I sought to fill was never outside of me. It was in what I perceived to be me all along.


The Journey Inward

Now, I find myself increasingly fascinated with exploring the inner worlds of virtue, truth, love, stillness, and peace. The external dramas, once so captivating, are losing their appeal.

Instead, I’m choosing:

  • Nature—walking with the birds, the plants, and the animals.

  • Stillness—sitting by the fire, listening to the stream, and simply being.

  • Sadhana—a disciplined spiritual practice that reconnects me with my essence.

  • Family—showing up fully for my children, my loved ones, and myself.

This is where I find liberation—in the simplicity of presence, authenticity, and connection.

Breaking the Spell of Distraction

Mine and the world’s drama, cravings, and distractions have served their purpose. They showed me the illusion and led me to truth. But I’m done giving them my energy.

Instead of being drawn into the endless fractals of polarity and separateness, I’m choosing oneness, harmony, and realness. I’m choosing depth over distraction, authenticity over artifice, and being over doing.

An Invitation to Awareness

Where are you placing your attention? Are you consumed by the noise, or are you choosing to direct your awareness to what truly matters?

This is your chance to reclaim your consciousness, to recognize the incredible power of your attention and intention, and to liberate yourself from the distractions that no longer serve you.

To be awareness or to not be awareness—that is no longer the question.

See you in the nether realms.
