"Until that session, I didn't know fear was a portal to freedom."

Access to 🇪🇸 Spanish version here

I'm at my desk, in my home here in Bali — simple and beautiful — with an exuberant view of tropical nature in my garden and beyond.

I wish you could be here with me. Or in your own paradise.

I believe I want every human being to experience this level of serene appreciation. In so many ways, this really is like paradise. The nature, the weather all year round, the kindness of the local culture. I'm obsessed with every human being having access to this, as much as they desire — not to Bali, but to kindness everywhere. I will either make it happen, or I'll die trying.

And yet I'm discovering something so deep and revolutionary inside of me.

Something I somehow discovered after ten years of being a monk: every time I suffered, it was because I knew what I wanted to do or say, but I didn't dare to. My fear was greater than my freedom.

Every now and then I'm lucky enough to talk to someone I shared one or a few sessions with, months or even years ago. And it still surprises me that the insight I can help someone have can touch them in such a meaningful way, becoming a turning point in their life, in their perspective, in their mindset.

The other day an incredible woman from the UK told me: "Until that session, I didn't know fear was a portal to freedom."

And I'm sitting here at my desk in front of this incredible view I wish I could share with you. I just realized I can… Almost all of these videos are in my garden, the same one I'm looking at as I write this to you…

In the last almost three days I noticed I wasn't feeling as much fire, as much creative fierceness as the weeks before. And when I asked myself what is the thing I least want others to know about me, or what makes me most uncomfortable or ashamed or afraid to share — one of the most powerful questions I have ever heard and answered, and that I'm now asking you — my answer was: that I'm afraid.

[What is the thing you least want others to know about you right now? What makes you most uncomfortable, ashamed, or afraid to share?]

And many times just sharing it is enough to see it and let it transmute. To let that subconscious lie or limiting belief transmute and transform into more fuel, more freedom, more power, more creativity and action, and therefore inevitable results.

This time it felt more slippery. I could share the answer, but I still wasn't really allowing myself to truly feel it. And truly feeling it is what's required to allow it to transmute — to breathe into it, to stay with it for a few seconds, maybe even a minute.

A few minutes ago I shared this with an AI. And hearing the AI reflect back what I had just shared allowed me to be more aware, to hear it back to myself. And finally I could sit with it, talk more about it, go deeper into it.

And now I can feel this fear — these layers of fear that were still stuck inside of me — moving through my nervous system, my muscles, my skin, expanding into the rest of my field around my body. My gaze becoming wider. My awareness gaining volume. My breathing becoming more open and deeper. My desire to act, to write this newsletter for you, for us.

For this community of human beings interested enough in exploring this approach to limitless freedom, to kindness, care, and respect without limits.

I wish you can connect with your answer to the question for your own freedom, your happiness, your peace, your expansion and your self-actualization. And also for your positive, inevitable impact on everything around you, every time you experience this boundless presence.

I believe in you, limitlessly.
