Transformation for Gaia
Dear Ones,
Imagine you are born with a Genie, like in Alladin's story, but instead of coming out of an oil lamp, it is born with you. And instead of being granted 3 wishes, that fellow is with you for life.
Just imagine, all that creative power. That Genie can make anything happen: make seemingly impossible deals, help you develop unheard skills, make you look like a prince, or make you look like a beggar. It can get you to undiscovered places, invent new intimacies, traditions, languages, new celebrations, and can help you create cultures and nation of abundance for all. There is no limit to creating with your Genie.
But what you are mostly using your Genie for is keeping you in misery, resentment, isolation, self-punishment, adapting, keeping all your survival strategies going, so that you can successfully survive. That's exactly the same with your Gremlin. How can it be that this awesome, astonishing force of nature is keeping you this way? Well, to be short, it's because you asked it to.
You are the one who has been unconsciously collaborating with your Gremlin so that your Gremlin can save your butt every time. Unconsciously collaborating means that you give your clarity, authority, and your presence away to Gremlin so you can be rescued by it. Like a captain of a brig sailing under a fantastic storm, handing over the captainship of the whole ship and crew to the crew member with the most trickery. Just like in the Alladin's story, the results are going to be messy.
Your Gremlin takes over and drives your life because you do not.
Luckily there is a turn around. See, no one can take your life-authority away from you. You can give your power away to others, but you can take your power back, and take back your authority to create your life.
First step to that is to recognise your Gremlin. To really encounter it as the force of nature it is, a pure Genie inside of you, made to serve you, not to live your life.
Coming up:
After the tremendous success of the Gremlin Transformation - Chapter 0 that started this last Friday, with 42 people and a waiting list of 25, I am overjoyed to announce that there will be another Chapter 0 with Tristan Girdwood and Devin Gleeson starting at the end of this month, and the follow-up Chapter 1 also held by the same team. Where Chapter 0 is all about researching the true nature of your Gremlin, without judgement, Chapter 1 is about training that Genie in you, sharpening the relationship, taking back your authority to lead your life. More information on all Gremlin Transformation Chapters in HERE. I'll be delivering another Chapter 0 with training apprentices only towards the end of the year.
And Ana Norambuena and I got all the Adult Ego State Decontamination dates out! Two spaces dedicated solely to the discovery of authentic adulthood, not reigned by childish moves, or gremlin power plays, or robotic parent stiffness. This is about discovering your authentic, natural, vibrant, juicy, and alive conscious creator! See below for the first offer.
With courage to take the captainship back,

Underworld & Irresponsibility: Are they bad?
"Whatever part of your Underworld that you do not own, owns you."
When you read this sentence have you already made up your mind that Underworld is bad or wrong?
Making something -- anything -- wrong blocks you from actually looking at the thing. You stop researching. You stop learning. This is what the catholic church did: it created the ultimate wrong, a thing called sin, and wherever it was applied to no more questions needed to be asked, the only path was 'correcting' the sin, which was punishment, which is actually revenge.
Underworld or Shadow World is merely the dimension of the universe where universal Principles are dedicated for survival. Is survival bad? Is deciding to be alive despite imperfect conditions bad? No, it is a noble choice to stay alive and survive.
Universal Principles dedicated to survival are also known as Shadow Principles because they are usually not in our conscious awareness. They are facets of Irresponsibility. Responsibility and Irresponsibility are opposite because they have a completely opposite focus of orientation. In Responsibility you are at source of action, of change, of creation. You are a creative agent of what you experience. In Irresponsibility you are not at source, it is someone else that creates your life, your circumstances, your inner state. Responsibility says "I create my happy/miserable/successful life", Irresponsibility says "they create my happy/miserable/successful life". Neither is good or bad. They just head to different directions.
A baby cannot take responsibility, so it relies on survival strategies that serve survival principles, Shadow Principles: Right/Wrong, Competition, Revenge, Blame, Guilt, Manipulation, etc. Because a baby or a child does not have enough consciousness or personal power to be at source of their own life, it relies on the conditions created by others. Their life is mostly sourced by others. Survivalism serves Shadow Principles because it is a reaction triggered by the externally sourced conditions, not sourced internally. As a small child you might learn to manipulate (yourself or others) because you do not have the ability to create the conditions to ask for what you want clearly. And when you grow a little older and start asking for what you want and your request does not match the rules of your parents, you might start manipulating a little more. You might repress certain impulses so that your asking matches other people expectations. You might lie to satisfy your own needs.
None of this is wrong or bad, it is part of being a child, that is living in a condition of dependency of external authorities. The child is meant to grow up psychologically as well as physically, meaning that the child is meant to grow their consciousness. Growing of consciousness means growing their capacity for perceiving itself and others, which means growing their capacity to have agency over what they perceive.
This is what responsibility is: consciousness in action.
The child is meant to gradually grow up into an adult: a person who can authentically and creatively source their own life, and play a collaborative part in the interdependence of life on Gaia. This can look like having healthy boundaries, asking for what they want, being able to listen and hold space, being able to take care of their bodies and their needs, being clear in relating, naturally contribution for their village, delivering their non-material value in the world, designing their life according to them, and much more.
For the child or adolescent to authentically grow up and get out of survival, they need to go through authentic inner and outer processes that gives them the capacity to effectively and realistically take more responsibility. These processes are called Initiations.
A culture without Initiations, is a culture where men and women still live in survival, serving in slave relationships with money, power, love, belonging, and value. Without initiations adults are atrophied organic-robots, perpetually consuming Gaia and consuming each other through competition, torture, comparing, revenge, and violence, towards death.
There is nothing wrong with surviving. Many people do it, every day, they post it online, make Gremlin internet memes, scroll on social media. We are all moving towards death one way or another.
The question for you is how do you want the journey to be like? Do you want to live with your hands on the wheel, or in the back seat of the car? Do you want to be in the court and play the game, or do you want to observe and comment in the audience? Are you going to be at source of your life, or are you going blame others for how you feel or where you are right now?
The choice is yours.

Tristan Girdwood & Devin Gleeson
A conscious Gremlin diet is for your relationship with your Gremlin and your Underworld, what the gym is for an athlete. Your Gremlin has been eating your life energy, your intimacy, your integrity, and your access to your Bright Principles. You have been letting Gremlin take over your life. It's time for that to change. After Chapter 0 you have the clarity and the energy to make those changes, and Chapter 1 gives you a space with high-clarity and integrity to create conscious discipline.
