The non-conformist


“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

One of my favorite quotes in the ancient texts.


I believe we are born with new minds — and then the world starts to tell us how to be, how to act, what to think.

We had emotions but didn’t know how to express them. We learned things that didn’t seem right, but that was just the way it was.

Eventually, hopefully, the pattern of this world becomes too much and we have a break. The misery outweighs the familiar.

Then we have only one of two choices: renew the mind, or repeat the pattern of this world.

My misery brought me to the brink of death — but something deep down said, you’re not done.


How does this apply to you?

You don’t have to wade into the pool of misery all the way. You can start to renew your mind now.

How?

By thinking different thoughts.

This is one of the hardest things you can do — but you can do it. It takes a deep desire for something different.

If you want something deeper than all this surface chatter. If you want a more fulfilling life. Then you must think deeper.

There is something greater than your job, your family, your friends, your household, or the part you play in this world. It is sacred.

To find it — you must slow down long enough to find it. You must be quiet enough to hear it. And you must turn from the outside world to find your inside world.


“Casey, I don’t have time for that shit.”

Then go back to the pattern of this world. That’s okay — it’s what most people do, and there’s nothing wrong with it.

But if you want full satisfaction in life?

Find time to meditate. Read ancient texts pointing to the truths of this world. They will point you back home.

All the answers are inside of you. It’s just remembering who you are.

Work on renewing your mind today.

Much love,

Casey

Hi Reader! What does it look like to “level up” in life? I’m assuming you want to level up, right? Next level at work. Next level of peace. Next level of love. Next level of abundance. Next level of fitness. Do you know how you actually level up? “Start doing things you don’t normally do towards the desire you want to achieve.” Now when I say don’t normally do, that might mean doing completely different things, but it can also mean doing the same things in a different way. Like at the gym....

Life is what you make it. You can heap burning coals on your head, or you can live in heaven on Earth. My life has been both. Over the years, I have figured out that I can be as happy as I want to be. Here is how: let go of expectation, want, and need. Now, I am not just talking about material possessions ... how about the want to be somewhere you're not? How about the need to be approved of or accepted? Or how about needing the past to be different than it is? These are examples at the core...

Anyone scared of public speaking? I used to be terrified of being seen, vulnerable, or put on the spot. Sweating, shaking, and shit, like I’d just run a marathon. People staring at me like, what is wrong with you? 😂 Interviews were a nightmare. The minute I sat down, it was like one of those Men in Black wands got flashed in front of my eyes and my memory was completely wiped. They’d introduce themselves, and I’d just slowly stand up and walk out the door because I’d forgotten my name. LOL....
