No one is coming to save you. No one. No baes, no babes, no beaus. No spouses, no spices. No friends, no foes. No spiritual teachers, no gurus. No podcasts on living life will save you nor will any self-help books. Time is not saving you and the tide surely will not.           You have to save yourself. You have to love yourself enough to save yourself and live a bigger life. You have to have the want to live the most purposeful and most fulfilling life of joy, magic and miracles to behold.           You have to go into your catacombs. You have to take a deep inner journey with a torch and tissues into every nook and cranny of your being and find your limiting beliefs, plunder their birthing ground and put them on a trial. You have to sit with yourself and rat out your fears and then have a merciless firing squad beat the life out of each of them. You have to allow yourself to become nothing but a witness of this beautiful reality that unfolds in and around you.           You have to fight your inner demons. You have to take the naysayers of your creative self-worth to the cleaners. You have to save yourself from your ego, you need a strong protection shield against resistance and procrastination. You have to set boundaries with a barbed wire fence that only you can trespass when you are ready to discover the love and wholeness within you. Save yourself from others infringing on your space as you welcome a state of deeper silence and strengthen your own sadhanas.           You have to save yourself from filling yourself up with what doesn't serve you but your separate self. You have to empty yourself of thoughts, images, beliefs, labels, templates, tendencies, concepts, struggles, fears, desires, memories, expectations, personal stories, conditioning, programming, hoarding, kama, krodha, lobh, mada, moha, matsatya and alasaya.           You have to save yourself from those who have wronged you. You have to fight off anger, forgive them and choose yourself over choosing to be right and righteous.           Compassion, empathy, love, gratitude, gratefulness, forgiveness and mindfulness will give you life support. But in the end, it's you who has to save yourself. From yourself.                 No gardener ever made a rose.                     And no poet ever made a poem, no engineer ever made a spaceship, no musician ever made a composition, no artist ever made a painting. The rose, the spaceship, the composition and the painting were always meant to exist, just at the right time, in that moment, in the world. The only power the universe ever gave you was not to make the rose but create the right conditions in the world for yourself and for the rose to allow it to grow. Through you.           You need to tend to the garden - your life in which you want the rose to grow. You have to pull out to the weeds of self-doubt, of self-loathing, of self-hate to create a patch of land which creation can use as its birthing ground. One belief has to be pulled out to make way for another.           The idea of the rose then has to make home in you. A rose that not only adds its beauty and fragrance to the world but also invites you to dig into yourself and give names to the new feelings and emotions that come up in this journey.           The seed has to be sowed then. The seed of a new beginning, the seed of a belief that you deserve better, the seed that a life of suffering has been your choice all along and you also have the choice to end your suffering in this very moment. A seed of seeing a new reality and bringing into existence what doesn't exist before. And just when this seed drops into the new conditions you have created, it bursts open like magic and sends a root into the ground and a shoot into the air for an idea to be planted firmly in this universe through you.           Then for the poem to be created through you, you have to water it every day. You have to show up and allow yourself to get into a state of flow. You have to keep adding the necessary ingredients of youness as the universe adds its own enchantment through the sun, soil, and air for every verse to unfurl word after word not to show off but only because it can - beautifully, delicately, lovingly.           Allow the poem to then become the seed for a million new poems on the planet. You own nothing. Allow for the bees and other poets to pollinate the world with the words, imagery and emotions that came through you. As your poem lives its purpose, so will the water, so will the bee, so will the patch of land and so will you. We are all in one endless continuum feeding and rejoicing in each other's creations.           You don't create the rose or the poem. You just create the conditions for the rose and the poem to bloom and come alive through you, so you feel the aliveness of life too.             Our upcoming retreats                         Jodhpur Sold Out 11th to 17th August     In a place of princely palaces and forts, travel back in time as we seek to relook into your life.
