Just a quick heads-up — things are shifting around here, and in a good way. Spiritual Tour Guides is evolving. We're building out a tiered learning experience, and it's just getting started. Take a moment to browse the classroom — there's a lot of foundational content already available to everyone, completely free. As we grow, deeper material, richer insights, and live group sessions will be available through a monthly subscription. Speaking of which — if you're a current subscriber, Cup of Joe is tomorrow at 10 AM Mountain Time. Come hang out with Joe and Cindy for open conversation, connection with others in the group, and whatever wants to be channeled through. It's one of those sessions where you never quite know where it's going to go — and that's the point. 🍵 For everyone: as you move through the classroom, make sure you're checking off completed classes with a ✅. Every check boosts your point score — and those points unlock more material. So it's worth going back and marking what you've already done. We're your spiritual tour guides. The terrain is expanding. Stay curious, keep exploring, and watch this space.

The line is always in the water. Someone is always casting — a belief system, a practice, a teacher, a community. And the pitch always gets sweeter the longer you listen. That's not an accident. That's the design. The hook isn't force. It's resonance. Something in you wants it to be true — and a skilled fisher knows exactly how to trigger that wanting without ever actually feeding you. This is worth sitting with: did I choose this, or did I bite? The difference between nourishment and feeding someone else's pond isn't always obvious from inside the hunger. But discernment isn't about becoming closed. It's about being able to taste the hook before you swallow it. We have a lot of new and supporting content in this community about patterns, sovereignty, and how the nervous system responds to what feels like truth. If this landed for you, start there. What are you noticing inside as you read this?

Here is a lovely poem that I stumbled on one day by Celia a bilingual poet... There once was a person named Giving. And Giving gave way too much because they loved people deeply. But nobody treated them as such. Giving started to feel empty. Giving had little left to give. And Giving started to feel like they would never fully live. Giving met Taking. But Giving didn’t know how to let go. And Giving lost everything, but never really let it show. Taking eventually left— taking everything it could. And Taking never looked back, even when Giving hoped that they would. Giving sat down at a bench, where now Giving met Time. And Time told Giving, “Everything’s gonna be just fine.” Giving sat there for a while, waiting for someone new. And Giving started to wonder if someone was waiting for them, too. Giving eventually stood up. They walked around the block, where Giving saw somebody who was sitting next to a clock. Giving knew Time, but they didn’t want to interrupt to greet. So Giving kept walking as someone stood from their seat. Giving wondered about them— but Giving was afraid. Because Giving had always given, but that love had never stayed. But Committing wasn’t afraid. And Committing knew how to give. So Committing ran up to Giving and taught them how to forgive. Committing met Giving and introduced them to Receiving. And Giving became so abundant— they forgot they ever knew Leaving.

One of my most favorite lessons I've ever created has just landed in the classroom. 🙌 You'll find it in The Field Work under Mind Mastery — titled: The Mind You Walk In With. This one has three parts: how we listen, deconstruction of perception, and how we receive. And woven through all of it is one central question — what is the quality of mind you are living with daily? There is real depth here. Not the kind that impresses you and moves on, but the kind that peels back a corner of the veil on your own mind so you can begin to see beyond your familiar reality. Because as the lesson says: "Resist the need to be special. Seek instead to be clear. Clarity is what opens the channel." This is the upgrade. And if you know where to look — and after this lesson, you will — the software of your mind is yours to rewrite. Go take a look. I think this one will stay with you. 🖤

Tonight we are bathed in the light of a Blue Moon — the second full moon of May, and a rare one at that. The last Blue Moon in Sagittarius was back in 2016. This isn't just a calendar quirk. Blue Moons amplify. They turn up the volume on whatever sign they land in, and tonight that sign is Sagittarius — the truth-seeker, the wanderer, the eternal student of life. 🏹 What does a Sagittarius Moon embody? Sagittarius moon energy is expansive, fire-lit, and freedom-seeking. It carries a deep need for meaning — not just answers, but the kind of understanding that reshapes how you see the world. It's optimistic even when it's hard. It believes in the journey. It pushes us toward higher truth, broader vision, and the courage to be honest — with ourselves first. This is not a moon that lets you stay comfortable in half-truths. 🐍 The deeper layer: Focus conjunct Black Moon Lilith This full moon carries a particularly potent undertone from observational astrology (True Sky Sidereal) — the energy of Ophiuchus (the Serpent Bearer), the bridge between instinct and wisdom, sitting alongside Black Moon Lilith, the untamed feminine, the part of us that was exiled, dismissed, or silenced. Together, they are asking something of you tonight. Perhaps you knew something was wrong, but you pushed it down. Perhaps there's a memory your body has been holding that your mind hasn't been ready to face. This moon is illuminating it — not to break you, but to free you. The hidden wound must be acknowledged. The exiled memory must be invited back to the table. This is where deeper healing begins. 🌕 What is this moon asking of you? This Blue Moon is a culmination — the close of a six-month cycle around faith, growth, and what you truly believe about yourself and your life. It's asking you to look back before you leap forward. To face what you've been avoiding. To trust the part of you that always knew. This is an invitation to emerge with a stronger sense of your own sovereignty, a deeper trust in yourself, and a clearer understanding of your purpose.
