This beautiful new being just arrived on planet earth and she has stolen my heart ❤️ I have only had sons so far this lifetime so she is a great blessing. I have therefore not been in the community so much but wanted to give you a quick update on things: 🎬 A new podcast episode will drop soon so keep your eyes peeled 👀 🐾 I am thinking a lot how to structure the coming premium group (this will be for those of you who want to work more closely with me.) An update on this coming soon. 🐣 I am planning a new YouTube channel. It will be more simple, less edited. ETM Channel kind of pushed me in a certain direction but I also want to talk in a simple way on how to bring the liberated perspective in our day to day. What might Enlightenment look like without the gurus, having to meditate in a cave or overdose on Ayahuasca? Keep you posted! 😺 If you would like me to organize a new Q & A soon let me know in the comments below. I would love to hear from you ❤️ Much Love, Justin

I was thinking about my little lemon tree today, and a mind-blowing revelation came to my mind that I wanted to share. Right now, in a little plant pot, in the front yard of a suburban home in Riverside California, a little lemon tree is growing. A lemon tree that one day will grow and produce 150-300 lemons a season for the rest of eternity if nothing stands in its way. Each lemon will contain up to 10 seeds...each with the potential to create a tree that will create 150-300 lemons a season for eternity, if nothing stands in their way. This little lemon tree has the potential to contribute to the infinite abundance of not just the ecosystem of my back yard but the Universe as a whole. In the grand scheme of things, each little lemon tree has the potential to feed and provide a home for an infinite number of birds, insects and animals. When you really think about it, the abundance created by ONE tiny little seed boggles the mind! Now...contemplate this. It get's better! Look at that little lemon tree sitting in that pot, from a seed I planted nearly 3 months ago. Do you know the odds of it even existing right now? Firstly, lemons have been growing in this garden for about 30 years, and as far as I know, this is the ONLY seed that has been removed from a lemon and planted. What are the odds of that alone? 300 lemons a year x 10 seeds x 30 years...(am I doing the maths right? That's a heck of a lot of seeds that have NOT been planted. But out of all those seeds, I decided to choose one and plant it! Now, what are the odds of that even occuring! Close to ZERO! I'm from England, and had to live 50 years of life before I even got here....to this country, this state, this city, this neighborhood, and this house with this garden and these lemon trees. You see what I mean?? And during that 50 year period, at a point a long the way, I just so happened to read a book (The Ringing Cedars Of Russia) that would transform my life and place a desire in my heart to ONE DAY plant a seed and begin the process of cultivating my own produce.

Here is my tribute to and my criticism of the enigmatic and wonderful Alan Watts. But what do you think 🧐 genius or fraud❓

I have seen and partaken in many spiritual groups over the last 40 years, most have systematically followed that same pattern of rise and collapse. I've tried to understand this from many points of view, spiritual, psychological, group dynamics, and others. All were interesting but left me unsatisfied and with the feeling that something was missing. A few years ago I discovered Complex Systems Theory and had a eureka moment. Human groups can be understood as Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), composed of interacting agents whose local behaviors give rise to emergent global structures. Within such systems, certain individuals can become attractors—points around which attention, meaning, and coordination begin to organize. This dynamic is particularly visible in cult formation. From an initially diverse population, one agent emerges as a central attractor. Attention flows toward this individual in the form of praise, trust, and projection. In return, the leader produces meaning—“wisdom”—which reinforces the followers’ orientation toward them. A positive feedback loop is established: attention generates authority, and authority amplifies attention. As this loop intensifies, the system begins to close in on itself. Information that contradicts the internal structure is filtered out, while coherence within the system is reinforced. The group evolves toward an increasingly autonomous and self-referential organization, where alignment is rewarded and deviation is either corrected or rejected. What emerges is not merely social cohesion, but a form of dynamic enclosure. This process can be mapped onto the NSS/SOS landscape of consciousness. NSS (Non-Survival Sensations) correspond to openness, exploration, and the capacity to perceive the full landscape of experience. SOS (Survival-Oriented Sensations), by contrast, narrow the field around threat, control, and stability. In the early stages of group formation, NSS dynamics may dominate—curiosity, inspiration, a sense of shared meaning. But as the system grows in complexity and begins to protect its own structure, SOS dynamics increasingly take over.

Welcome! Our new community is only just unboxed and unpacked so you can still smell the fresh paint. Likely things will be a bit quiet as new people join over the next few weeks. ☕ Start by introducing yourself in the comments below 👇 It will be cool to know a bit about you and your motivations for joining. 🔥 I will be putting up a series of podcasts we made over the last few months. Find them in the Classroom These should serve as context and grounds for questions and discussions. 🔓 The platform grants you access to the Classroom after your first post or interaction. You can find yourself on the leaderboard here. 👩‍🚀 This main area of the community will always be free for members. Later I will add paid tiers for those that want to go a bit deeper with me via live group calls and discussions. These levels will be optional. Remember without your input and ideas this is just an empty space. So don't wait for any one else to go first - it's up to YOU! Love ya!
