New YT vid. New music. Been a minute since I’ve let myself take the time to create something personal like this. #cinematicvlog #videoedits #editing #filmmaking

There is a mirror principle to the nature of duality, perhaps easy to conceptualize, infinitely complex to work with. But it is this mirror principle that’s behind such findings as the “power stance”, “fake it till you make it”, smiling your way into a good mood, the infamous Law of Attraction, etc. The practical premise is that if you are aware of something you lack, or you know what the solution is to your “problem”, you just don’t know how to find it, you can reverse engineer your problem through the function of this mirror principle and eventually get to where you need to be (not guaranteed, but your chances increase astronomically). If you know you want to be more curious, more open, in order to create something authentic, something that feeds you, don’t tell yourself you need that first before you can create. Challenge yourself to create something (truly anything), and let that practice become your guide toward revitalizing your curiosity.

Thoughts on perspective. I used to be married and it was wild to me how entangled two people’s sense of self-narrative and perspective could get. It took years of practice and many fights to learn how to allow space for both our perspectives on a given thing, rather than fighting for a singular prevailing narrative. I know this is relevant to the life of the artist at large, but right now this is really just a personal reflection 😊🙏 #philosophy #storyteller #questioneverything #createeveryday #filmmakers

Learn to tell the difference between creating what your soul desires and what requires external validation. There’s reciprocity in both instances, the difference is when you create for your soul, it gives back tenfold.

A week of magic in August. I want to say more. I don’t want to say more. Words don’t seem to be the thing at this point in time. (If that sounds like a cop out, you might not be wrong 😂) I’ll have more to say about this (and way more folks to thank) very soon... For now…here’s some BTS, I love you all, thank you 🙏✌ #filmmaking #shortfilms #shortfilmmaking #creativityeveryday #createeveryday #storytellers #inspirational #videocreators

Almost didn’t come back from this rabbit hole. So many thoughts, few of them any good or coherent 😂. What are your thoughts? How do you interpret the statement: “There is never enough time”? #focused45 #storyteller #philosophy #videocreators #timemanagement #projectmanagement #videotips #creator #contentcreator #questioneverything #time #storytelling

You are constantly in process. You can choose to let yourself be witnessed in process, in fact there’s no other way. If you consciously choose it, however, you get the major benefit of letting go of false fixed points. And you get to help others witness themselves. We are all our own greatest teachers ultimately… right? #focused45 #storyteller #philosophy #videocreators #questioneverything #filmmakertips #inspirational #selfcare

Everything is in dialogue with each other. And for me, I mean that as literally everything. Living with this frame of mind is one of the greatest gifts I gave to myself to begin to understand my craft. I think if you really grasp this in its extreme, we’re talking about the basic fundamentals of actual magick… but you don’t need to go that far to find value here. #focused45 #filmmakers #filmmaking #storyteller #videoediting #philosophy #questioneverything #curiosity #mystory
