Greetings,
Greetings,
Beautiful souls,
Greetings.
My name is Mark Anthony and this is a reintroduction.
Allow me to reintroduce myself.
My name is Mark.
Write this song if you know,
You know.
Now,
But this is a reintroduction.
It's been quite a while.
It has been quite a while.
Um,
If you've been following me up here,
My last few,
Um,
Podcast,
Um,
Whatever you may want to call it,
It was centered around,
Um,
The chakras.
It was centered around introducing myself,
Ironically,
But after that,
I really,
You know,
You have multiple stages in your awakening journey.
And I think in the acceptance of that,
It's honoring and knowing when you want to step away from things when you,
Especially when it comes to content creation and,
You know,
Creation in general,
Um,
Knowing when to step away and knowing how you want to show up.
And if you feel like you can't show up in that way,
There may be a reason for that.
And so that's generally kind of where I've been at and just learning to not be so attached to certain identities,
Not be so attached to certain ideas as well,
Allowing my mind to stay as opened as it was when I first started to awaken.
And through that,
I've had beautiful trips,
Beautiful conversations with friends,
Just an overall beautiful experience as I've allowed myself to leave this identity of saying,
As a content creator,
As someone who speaks on,
Um,
Who speaks on things,
Right,
I must be a teacher,
I must hold the identity of the teacher.
And in that aspect,
It doesn't really leave any room.
Or when I was doing it,
It didn't leave me any room to kind of explore myself outside of that identity,
I felt like I needed to be perfect,
I felt like I needed to do this and have this and,
And do all these things.
And it was really closing off my energy to a lot of other things.
And so I had to step back and really allow myself to reawaken and reopen myself outside of that identity.
And that's been a beautiful journey.
And I now feel called to come back to posting,
And just speaking in general,
More consistently with this new perspective,
But also with this new energy and new openness to ideas to new truths to questioning everything to seeing what resonates.
Because right now,
We're in some interesting times.
And I think perceptions and perspectives is the name of the game,
As we,
As some of us may know,
As some of us may be learning in this,
If you're up here,
I feel like everybody is always learning,
Right?
It's understanding that we hold the power to shape our reality,
Quite literally,
With our perceptions.
So if we have allowed someone else to cultivate perceptions for us,
Right,
Then that becomes our reality.
And we quite literally start to begin to live in somebody else's perception of what we've been told is our reality.
Not trying to lose you guys here,
Okay?
But I feel like the times we are in,
You know,
Perceptions and perspectives and fear mongering,
And a multitude of things are being thrown at us right now,
Not to say that it's not real,
And we should bypass them.
But I feel it's important that we allow our journey to still be centered around honoring self,
To still be centering around healing ourselves,
Remembering ourselves.
Because as cells of this earth,
We have the ability to all start operating on a certain frequency that may allow us to exit out of the paradigm that may be trying to be thrown at us,
Right?
And so I say all this to say,
Because something that has helped me do this on a micro scale within my own journey is really leaving those confined perceptions.
And I know it's hard because they've been so instilled in us,
But just really allowing myself to not get so caught up in the perceptions of things,
To understand I have the willpower to change my perceptions of things,
To look at things differently,
To not confine my energy based off one idea or based off something somebody told me,
Because I know I'm more than that.
I know I'm much more than that.
And it's in that self-exploration that we can find that more.
And this is genuinely,
You know,
That more that I'm really starting to live from,
That unconditional love and that acceptance fully of myself.
I mess up,
I make mistakes.
Every now and then I'll eat some junk food.
Every now and then I'll binge watch TV shows,
But also every now and then I'll meditate.
Not every now and then,
That's pretty consistent.
Meditation can be like a multitude of things.
It's just finding that unique balance that I feel comes from kind of leaving the perceptions of what it means to be spiritual,
What it means to be,
What it genuinely means to just be alive.
Because I feel like we get a lot of,
Going back to,
We've been told for so many long what it needs to be to live and things like that.
And for me,
It's just been liberating to kind of leave that,
Not bypass what's going on in the world,
Not bypass,
You know,
The real responsibilities of life.
But in that sense,
Find a balance of how to navigate that and ask myself,
How do I wish to show up in this shift that we're going through right now?
And so honestly,
I don't want to make this introduction too long because I plan to bring more episodes,
More just,
You know,
Me expressing myself,
Just talks.
We may get some affirmation episodes.
We may get some just ponder episodes.
We may get me just asking you a question.
It may be like a minute long episode where I'm just asking you a question and calling for you guys to engage,
To get us thinking.
Because I definitely feel like right now is the time to get us thinking a little differently.
It's been the time for that.
But yeah,
I want to leave you guys with this one.
How do you wish to show up right now?
What,
How do you wish to show up right now?
What is,
What calls to you?
Yeah,
Well,
How do you wish to show up right now?
And if you can,
If you have an answer to that question,
What does that look like physically?
Right?
So that's my little spiel.
Thank you so much for joining me here.
All right.
We will be back.
I'm thinking every Tuesday for right now.
But I don't want to get too locked in on that.
But just stay tuned.
I appreciate you all,
All of you guys.
And feel free to leave your answer in the comments if you feel called to share.
And yeah,
Much peace,
Much love.
It's your boy Mark Anthony.
Peace out.
